That Grady county is now facing

to send on succor."
During war time, Chlckasha people
quit their business houses, stores and
offices and went into the cotton
fields, armed with hoes and they say
ed the crop by cleaning it out in the
absence of the boys who were doing
a certain cleaning job over in France
with the Hun as the cleancc.
It's Cotton Sack Now.
There's no need OF the hoe now.
The crop is made, and it's one of tho
best that Grady county ever raised
The dire need now, according to the
farmers who cIamor for labor, is
several hundred husklcs. every one
with cotton sack swung over the
shoulder.
There are $4,000 acres Of cotton in
Grady and only about one-fourth Of

TWO HOME LOAN
TRUSTS CHECKED
Three Per Cent. Interest Used
to Bring Deposits; Money
Spent For Salaries

The Home Builders Union and
the Cooperative League of Amer
ica, both Pittsburgh concerns, were
to-day taken over by Banking Com
missioner John S. Fisher on the
ground that they were not only in
unsound condition, but were operat-
ing on an unsound basis. The two
companies purported to be trust
associations. whose contributors
created a fund to be lent to home
owners at a low rate of interest.
Examiners for the banking de-
partment discovered that the Home
Builders Union, in existence sixteen
months, had taken in $4,000 from
contributors and $4,000 from the
sale of stock. In that period S63.-
600 had been paid out in salaries
and commissions, and some $4,000
had been paid out for advertising.
The assets OF the concern were
placed at $26,261. The Cooperative
League OF America had been operat-
ing longer, had taken in more
money. but was maintaining the
unions average of salaries and COM
missions.
Both concerns have been operat-
ing in Central Pennsylvania coun-
ties.
Commissioner Fisher said to-day
that the Banking Department can
not permit companies advertising
themselves as agencies that are &C.
cumulating funds for home build
ers to spend for salaries and COM
missions large sums given them for
permanent investment.
The two concerns at the time they
were organized were outside the
Jurisdiction of the State Banking
Department. They were trust asse-
ciations, not building and loan asso-
Citations. The banking law passed
by the last Legislature, however,
gave the State Banking Department
jurisdiction over such concerns, in
all instances in which the ATTORNEY
Generals office authorized the state
Banking Commissioner to take pos
session. Hs
The two companies, while they
ala business similar to that done
oy building and loan associations.
operated as a deed Of trust and
were not bound by building and loan
ASSOCIATION rules. The companies
carrled<two funds-a general fund
used for defraying expenses and the
tuHo' Inc payments were
MADE on two plans. One called for
90 cents a month for every 500 Of
pohcy, and the other called for 81
a month for every $1,000 Of policy
when $1,000 had been paid in the
series ended. '''e
Contributors gained an option "a
porrow money at 3 per cent. to build
homes. These options could be used
or sold. The rule of the Builders'
Union was to apply the first four
payments to general expenses, ="
me next five went into the trust
fund. They were to be used for
loans, and made the basis of the
options, according to the testimony
at the hearing.
Ihe building and loan rule is that
the surrender value of shares or
poilcles must be equal to the amount
paid in. Up to the twelfth noontb
the union shares had no surrendsr
value. In the twelfth month thev
were $50, although sl20 had been
paid in. In twenty-four months the
surrender value was s16S. althongh
