LOCAL BRANCH OF LOAN
ASSOCIATION 10 MEET

The advisory board and Certificate
holders of the Gardnerville branch.
Security Savings and Loan Associa-
tion will hold a meeting Wednesday.
August 18th at 1880 p. m In the Justice
Court room.
Those who are interested in home
building are also invited to attend
and any information pertaining to the
conditions Of home-building loans
will be given.
Mr.. R. Kershaw, special representa-
tive, states that he would like to Inn
press upon the people the fact that
this association is operated on a diff
ferent plan to the old style building
and loans. In the first place, the as
sociation has no stock for sale but is
sues savings certificates which draw
a definite interest. have specific
maturity. and are covered by first
mortgage security. A building loan
can be obtained for a period Of five to
ten years on q definite monthly pay
ment which is part principle and part
interest. II the borrower is able to
pay of his loan ahead Of time he has
the privilege Of doing SO, thereby saw
ing the interest for the balance Of the
time and releasing his mortgage. By
this arrangement, should borrower
be compelled TO move to another town
or state he would be able to liquidate
ON the property and cancel the loan.
This is another important feature
differing from the old style building
and loan association.
The Security and Loan Association
is Nevada institution organized to
keep Nevada money in Nevada for
BODYBUILDING purposes, and to help
those needing assistance In building
their homes. At the same time. the
association requires good security on
their loans to protect hetir certificate
holders. The conservatism of the
association is evidenced from the fact
that since their organization they have
not lost a dollar on loans. and. to the
writer's knowledge. have not fore
closed on a mortgage.
The association is officered by Me-
vada men of prominence. reliability,
unimpeachable character, and pOss-
essing a wide experience In the invest
ment business.

be crushed by the count. according to
statement made by Mr.. Fulstone
and the rock crusher will be set up In
the old river bed In Hussman's
pasture where there is an abundance
of material at hand. BY being enabl-
ed to secure road material SO close at
hand will mean big saving should II
had been found necessary to have
shipped in the crushes rock from dis
tant points.
Owing to the fact that sand from
local pits contain high percentage OF
mica. which is detrimental to cement
work, that material will be secured
from the states plant at Lahontan
and shipped in by railroad. Several
carloads of this material arrived at
Minden last week.

WINE FORHOME
USE LAWFUL

Manufacture of wine and cider for
home use in Nevada Is permissible
under both state law and rulings of
John F. Kramer, federal prohibition
commissioner, according to those In
terested who have been studying the
state act and the bulletin issued by
Commissioner Kramer and recently
received in Reno. The bulletin on file
In Prohibition Director Stoddard's Of
fee states:
Notwithstanding cider and fruit
juices may be made at home or at q
custom mill, but must be used exclu-
sively in the home, and when SO used
the phrase Notwithstanding means
Notwithstanding in fact and not nec-
essarily less than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol"
The statute of Nevada provides:
The provisions of this act shall not
be considered to prevent any one from
manufacturing for his own domestic
consumption wine or cider
Prohibition enforcement officials in
Nevada assert that no raids are being
made where there is no suspicion that
liquors are being sold. Possession of
wine in the home is not held direct
violation of the prohibition laws un-
less sales are made.
The federal statute provides that the
maker of grape juice or cider may
sell his product to the general public
SO long as the alcoholic content is
less than one-half of one per cent and
the product may be sold to makers of
vinegar at any time.
Cider in the home, under the federal
law, may be allowed to turn to vinegar
If the owner desires, provided he adds
no sugar or other fermentable sub
stance to the cider or other fruit juic-
es to increases the alcoholic content.
As the regulations do not permit the
owners to sell his product after it
more than one-half of one per
cent alcohol. the inference remains
that the owner will have to consume
the stuff himself.

PLAN FOR EVERYBODY TO
BUY WOOL is SUGGESTED

nationwide campaign to stimu-
late the sale of wool has been sug-
gested by an Omaha firm as a method
of relieving the wool growers from
disaster caused by present conditions
of the market. This firm has sent a
letter broadcast for publication and
action by associations. 1t contem-
plates a campaign similar to that of
buy bale of cotton" a few years
ago.
Vernon Metcalf. secretary of the Ne
vada Livestock Association received
one of the letters and later issued a
statement saying the plan was too big
for any state association to attempt
to put into effect alone and he re-
ferred the message to the National
Wool Growers Association for action
by that body.
The message signed by the mana
ger of Melady Bros. of Omaha, fol-
lows:
I'VE have a suggestion for the re-
lief of the wool situation and we be-
lieve that If it is put into effect
throughout the United States It will
help conditions and relieve the wool
growers to a great extent My sug-
gestion is that nationwide cam
paign be instituted for the sale Of
wool. That every citizen take from
one up to as many as they care to at
fifty cents a pound. Issue certi-
ficate for the amount purchased and
when the wool is disposed of return
to them whatever amount the wool
brings. We believe in this way it
will force the market and demand and
1t will bring immediate relief. We
have been extensive handlers of range
sheep and lambs for twenty years in
this market and we realize the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation and we wish
to place the first order for a thou
sand pounds at fifty cents a pound.
If this plan looks plausible to you
1t can be worked by wire and through
the congressman and senators and
through the press. Something must
be done and the quicker we get into
action the better. We will apprec-
late a wire from you regarding this
suggestion and we firmly believe that
if it is put UP to the public they will
go back of it as they have In every
other propositions Of this kind"
Metcalf said there was more than
twenty-five per cent of the latest Ne
vada wool crop still in the hands of
the growers. Any movement which
will help those growers to market
their wool will be of great benefit to
this state, he added. Although, he
pointed out, it will be difficult for any
combination to secure control Of all
the wool now remaining in growers
hands.

Congressman Charles Euans
Pays Visit to Cardneruille

Charles r. Evans, Representative in
Congress, was in Gardnerville and
Minden Tuesday in the interest of his
candidacy for reelection to the Office
which he has held with honor to Ne
vada and himself for the past two
years and at the most critical time In
the history of the United States.
Before mentioning his political
mission to Douglas county, Congress-
man Evan took occasion to comment
on the progress that has been made at
both Gardneryille and Minden since
his last visit here two years ago and
said: Nowhere else in all the world
will be found more evidence of COM
fort and general good than here Pro-
ductive soil. .beaming sunshine and the
magic touch of water all combine to
bring generous harvest and pros
perity. | note with deep pleasure and
satisfaction the many substantial
buildings that have been erected ON
your Main street, and more crafty
Ing to me are the many beautiful new
homes that have been builded during
the past two years. Homes like these
are the making of these United States
and stand as splendid examples of
thrift and the peaceful home life SO
dear to the American heart
Mr.. Evans requested this paper to
convey to the people OF Douglas
county his appreciation for the trust
that they have placed in him and to
a hot l. l..
Congress he will devote his entire
time and energy. as he has done in the
past, representing them at Washing
ton.
The West needs representation of
the right sort In Congress, declared
Mr.. Evans and watchful eye must
be kept at all times on proposed legis-
lation affecting western states. He
referred particularly to reclamation
and the control of the public domain.
He declared that it was the opinion of
many eastern Congressman that the
public domain should never pass
from the hands of the federal govern
ment, but be leased. and the price to
be regulated through appraisment
from time to time. Such a step would
block western progress, declared Mr..
Evans. but that is just what may be
expected unless the western men are
on the alert.
He expressed himself as being op-
posed to the ever-growing list of pub
lie bureaus at Washington that serve
no other good causes than to create
useless positions for Office seekers,
but which are a heavy drain on the
public purse.
Mr.. Evans has made Nevada an
able and energetic Representative in
Congress and the Democratic voters
will make no mistake In placing him
on the ticket for the November elect
ion.
