 Robert Emmet was born in Ireland March 4, ITS, and was executed 25 years later, Sept 20. 1903. His crime was that of advocating an Irish re- public, and. finding his people hound ed and bludgeoned for aIlhering to the cause. he met force with force. rose to leadership and led forth a faithful few in Dublin's streets to show that Irishmen were ready to die for the cause. His great speech from the dock is familiar to all men and women of his race and holds a high place in the oratorical literature of the world His closing words were: "When Ire l land takes her nlace among the na 1 tions of the earth. then. and not til 1 then, shall my epitaph be written"

MAKE START IN BUILDING LOAN DRIVE

tion of building and loan assocla- tions, who spoke on what building and loan associations throughout the country have done and explained the workings of successful association.
 MT. Skinner's address, was in part as follows:
 What is building and loan asso- ciation? An institution for system atic savings and the leaning of same to it's members on real estate first mortgage, and the repayment to each member of his savings when each share has accumulated to S200, or he may receive the withdrawal value of his shares at any meeting.
 Unfortunately, the name building and loan association conveys to many the impress on that the association does the actual construction work oi the homes. This is an error, as the associations do no building nor plan ming of the buildings, but always sec to it that the contracts are fully com piled with, in this manner giving ad- d1tional protection to the borrower as well as seeing that their own in- terests are being cared for.
 The associations not only pave tht way for the home seeker, but by sys- tematic method or regular savings lilSNIll III tIlS HlIldS or lnelr memDer: that thrifty habit saving at least, nc matter how small, portion of theil | earnings.
 In nearly every state in the Unior
 will be found building and loan as soeiations The last report Of tn, | United States League of Local Build ing 6 Loan Associations issued Jul, 1 1919, stated that there were at tha
 time HASA associations in the Unitet
 States representing a membership 0 1 4,011,401 with assets of $1,S9s, ,344, ,34G 1 showing that during the year ther has been an increase of 172,7S9 mem bers and increase in assets of $129,
 202,171. I think, owing to the grea 1 amount of missionary work don
 along this line of late throughou 1 the country that the report next Jul
 will show a much greater increase.
 From the last report issued by tn
 state of Connecticut for the yea
 1918, I find 21 associations, about 15, i 000 members, with assets of $5, ,37
 which showed an increase in assets 0 S505625 over the previous year. Las
