Editor Democrat:
In your issue of the Goth ult., you au-
nouncs the coming of a clergyman from

lea of tomorrow. May ask, please, If
on this subject he knows any more than

my mind one Donald Partridge q trust /

cred gratis q Memorial Day Address that
appeals to me to be as mastery an effort
as any New York divine could make, and
considerably more acceptable in that 1t
was an effort of pure love and patriot
Ism, and covering very we'll the same
topic. This being 30, why Is 1t necessary
to get preacher from New York at the
Large Expense Involved" such as you
announce In the above dated issue of the
Democraip
Are New York olergymen better quail
fed to crate on America than are the
clergymen OF MaineP
Are they better qualified than are the
clergy of Oxford County?
Are they better qualified than are the
clergy of South Paris and Norway
To all these queries would ask: II so,
why so? The local business men feel
we're lacking In civic patriotism when
we 90 out of town to do our shopping,
and they are right. By the same token
are the Chautauqus committeeman lack
ing in civic patriotism when they slight
local orators of the best calibre to 60 to
"the large expense involved 10 securing
DR.. Hills" of New York.
The Chautauqua, as an institution OF
entertainment Is excellent; perhaps bet
ter than we're used to, but even that is
not absolutely certain; for the dramas
presented recently by the Seniors and
Juniors of the Norway high School Il
was not present at the South Paris High
School dramas, but I haven't the least
doubt that they equalled the Norway
ones) appealed to me as being just as
good, and great deal more interesting,
In that the performers were the boys and
girls we know and are interested In, and
who, we feel, will make up the america
of To-day, and the America Of To-mor-
row."
As to the speakers who come here to
give orations on week days; are they
better than we have In the "Old Pine
Tree State''? I do not think so; yet
with what degree of positiveness they
would have us swallow as Gospel their
oratorical fodder!
To all my fellow citizens would say

remember their ideas are personal views

has met encouraging support by the
townspeople interested in the welfare of
our town. Considerable sums of money
are now being sent out of town monthly
to like associations over the state and to
cooperative banks in Massachusetts,
which are identically the same thing,
which might help our own people in our
own town to own their own homes.
A Loan and Building Association Is q
mutual corporation organized under the
Banking Laws Of the State of Maine and
is under the supervision Of the State
Bank Examiner, the same as banks and

holders and borrowers are treated
exactly alike. Ali investors receive the
same dividend and all borrowers pay the
same rate of interest. No member be he
borrower or investor, receives any advan-
tage not enjoyed by all.
All money is loaned on first mortgages
on real estate, properly insured, the best
security obtainable, situated in our own
community and inspected by capable
men, thereby making the investment
perfectly safe. Expenses are reduced to
a minimum as all officers are serving
without salary and all profits are divid-

alike.

No investor in any loan and building
association organized under the laws of
Maine has ever lost dollar of the prin.

ations are paying very satisfactory rates
of interest. 1t is purely mutual and
democratic in character, the smallest
shareholder having the same voting
power as the largest investor, who is
limited to the number of shares he or
she holds, thereby making it impossible
to be controlled by any one party.
Such associations are particularly
adapted to small investors who desire q
