parent association in this state was
organized at North Platte, trans
planted there by near Philadelphians,
railroad men who had followed the
the march of empire along the
Overland route. The second associ-
alton was organized at Grand Island
in 1880 and the third in Omaha in
1883. Measured by their years, Ne
braska associations are in the prime
of life, possessing the vigor of youth

Consider for moment the mag

the country at large. In round num-

savings of $2,000,00c 900, represent
ing the savings of 100000 members.
OF this number Nebraska has "a as

sets of 65,76S,000 at the beginning
of the financial year last July. Dur
ing the lean fiscal year of l9l71S,
when war reached for every dollar
in sight, Nebraska associations
financed 2,116 new buildings, mostly
homes, and assisted in the purchase
of $3.50 homes already built.
Eight associations in Greater
Omaha, on July |, 1919, reported
assets totaling Sal, $4,000, or 80 per
cent of the states total. This rep
resents little more than 20 years
development and marks their high
standing among the city's upbuild-
ing forces.

To one who is used to a heavy
ball and who suddenly shifts to a
lighter one there isss one fine way OF
describing what is likely to be the
result. The change is apt to act
much as Walter Johnson would
pitch if he suddenly shifted from,
the official league ball to the junior
base ball for boys. Johnson con-
trolls the official ball almost fault
lessly, but the latter would go most
anywhere.
In golf on the greens heavy ball
is to be putted firmly, but if the
golfer treats the lighter ball the
same way he has at least another
putt. 1t must/be tapped gently be-
cause its lightness causes it to leave
the face of the club much more
quickly.
Forget Traps and Hazards.

And l know of one player who con-
sistently drives for little trap on

the fairway for the same reason.
Every time he tries to avoid it he
says he gets in. But when he plays
for it he always misses. Golf is in

British Railroad
Strike Gave Motor
Truck Big Chance

London, Nov. 22.-Motor trucks
for fast and heavy transport is the
one big lesson British business men
have learned as the result of the ma
tional railway strike. Distances be-
tween large industrial areas in Eng
land are insignificant when COM
pared to those in the United States.
The average long journey is not
more than 200 miles. Roads are ex-
ccllent.
The strike gave the motor truck
its chance. The only drawback was
that thee were too few such trucks.
The government, in order to help
feed London, had to get rush ship
ment of trucks from its war stores
in France.
Before the strike motor trucks
were never used to get goods to
London from Birmingham, l13 miles
by rail. And that in the face of the
fact the usual freight transport time
was three weeks. Motor trucks
made deliveries in one day.
Now traffic experts are saying
that slow or congested railways will
be superseded by efficient motor
lorries, which in many cases have
proved to be even cheaper than rail-
way transport, Turing carriage at
either end.
The war has given England tens
of thousands of efficiently trained
motor truck drivers.

Safety rests on the home, and the

1t is instructive to note in this con-

1918 all Nebraska associations
charged out of their reserve funds
for losses only $46,569, or about 6
per cent of the sums carried.to the

"Thus the associations expound the
gospel of thrift and home getting.
Their progress in this city and state
is not equalled by any state or city
of the Mississippi or south Of the
Ohio river. Having been associated
with their work and progress for SO
yearsI feel justified in saying that
the system Of cooperation practiced
by our local associations maps for
the membership a broad highway to

of-fact, they are the chief instru.
ments in making Omaha q city Of
home Owners. An idle boast some
say. Let us analize it.
Indisputable Records.
"Omaha's claim as city of home
owners. rests on indisputable rec
ords. The federal census of 1900
showed that only 2S.9 per cent of
the people of this city were home
owners. In the succeeding 10 years
the percentage of home-owners rose
to 1913 per cent. The census decade
now closing will, l confidently be-
lieve, lift the percentage to 50 per
cent or better.
Available facts justify that be-
lief. Four years ago the Omaha
Water company reported, as result
of a check of its books, that there
were 25049 dwellings using city
water. OF this number Sc per cent or
1897 dwellings, were owned by the
occupants. The same authority
places the present proportion OF
home-owners at 90 per cent of the
estimated total of $1,000 dwellings.
"A considerable number of DWELL
ings in the outlying sections of the
city, distant from water mains, are
not accounted for in the water
company's reckoning, and nearly all
are occupied by owners.
Putting these facts together, we
may safely claim that 10000 of the
5000 dwellings in the city are owned
by the occupants. Allowing five
persons to family, we have a total
Of 100000 people, substantially one
half the population, living in their
own homes, higher percentage than
any city in this country has hereto
fore shown in census returns.
Another Record Broken.

to accurately measure this years

know it will be a record-breaker.
