spirit which prevails among that class or
aliens who believes they are III"
"An Alien" has lost sight of the fact
that there are many natives who hold
some of the greatest positions of trust
and confidence in this island-as refer
ence is made to the Public Schools, allow
me to inform AN Alien" that with few
exceptions, the principal teacher in
every school in this island is either a ma
tive or an American Citizen-but they do
not blow their own horns, no, they are
too modest
But, to get to the point. Has An Alien
dealt with my subject, re: the deporta-
ton of o~fficious aliens, or to use a better
term, UNDESIRABLESDI guess not;
and the insolence of that party, he or
she, shows clearly that the cap fits
well', and also that the nail went
b0me".
We have aliens in this island who be-
have in a very commendable manner.
no one would ever modest them, for they
do not interfere with what does not con-
Germ them; but when we meet those who
are obnoxious it is high time to cry out
for their deportation.
| believe the Government is wide
awake. and can see that the time is
about ripe to show these aliens that they
will not be tolerated in St. Croix when
they behave in a manner which is unbe-
coming to the ideals Of true American
ism.

Virgin islanders have been made victims
of a general clean out.

1t is rumoured here that the laboring
classes in St. Croix have been made to
believe that Virgin Islanders are starving
in New York, and are very anxious to
return to the islands.
This is not true. If there are sufficient
inducements to offer, Virgin Islanders
will ret rn, until then, they a%recontent to
remain and take advantage of the op-
p~ortunities afforded here.
There are no people anywhere who
have enjoyed the happiness of this coun-
try to a greater degree than the Lat oring
classes who came here from the islands.

said the former Chancellor of the Elk
cbequer. Mr.. Nc Kenna of Great Britain,
last night in an address on International
finance and trade before the CONNER
cial club of Chicago. We have lost more
in our country by the existence Of two
million unemployed, he said, than we
shall ever get in value from the German
reparation over a period of thirty years.
| would rather see our eople employed
and producing wealth, than receive a
dribble of wealth from Germany at the
cost of being unemployed. And what |
say of ourselves, is true in a lesser degree
of the United States. When | see these
things | really begin to doubt whether it
is for the benefit of the United Kingdom
that Athese Preparations should be paid
and whether the debts of The Allies to US
might not, if they were paid, prove
rather a curse than a blessing.

LOAN ASSOCIATION
INVESTORS ARE
FAVORED BY GOVT
ALLOW LIBERAL EXEMPTION TO
ENCOURAGE INVESTOR TO
ASSIST IN BUILDING

A very important law relating to
Federal Income Tax has just recent
ly been passed by Congress, COM
mencing with January first 1922, in
which the income of depositors in
Building and Loan Associations up
to the amount of $500 for any one
year will be exempt from Feseral
Income tax. This act is to be IN
force until January 1st, 1927.
1t is estimated that in the United
States there is a shortage of about
two million homes and it is thought
that by making this exemption of
income tax to depositors Of Building
and Loan Associations more people
will be induced to put their savings
in these institutions and would there
by help materially to relieve this
shortage Of homes. As the savings
of depos tors in Building and Loan
Associations are already exempt
from all local taxes. this additional
exemption on Federal Income tax
makes their investment much more
attractive than ever before.
The Belding Building and Loan
Association is offering for sale ad-
vance paid shares at 800 per share,
issuing fractional shares of $25. on
which they pay five per cent per an
mum, interest payable twice year.
This net income of five per cent from
Belding Bull ing and Loan Associa-
tion is now equal TO other invest
ments of five and one-half per cent
or more on which people have to pay
income tax.
The people of Belding must re-
member that when they invest their
money in the Bedding Building and
Loan Association, which is local
concern, that they are not only help
ing other people to get home but
they are getting good rate Of in
terest, per cent net, on their in
vestment. When they want TO draw
their money out of the Associat on
they can do so ON very short notice,
and not only obtain all they have
put in but also the accumulated in
terest. Their security loans are bas-
ed on real estate mortgages, which
is the standard for all investments,
and which have an intrinsic value and
tangibility not possessed by notes or
bonds and various classes of indus
trial stocks which are subject to
fluctuations in value according to
the market value.
The Belding Building and Loan
Association has been doing business
for thirty-two years and the invest
ors have never lost collar Of their
money but it has always been re-
turned to them promptly with a good
rate of interest when the stock ma
tured or when the stockhoIder wish
ed to draw out his money. An in
vestment in the Belding Build.n and
Loan Association is an exception
ally safe and profitable one for those
who take advantage of this oppor-
tunity, and if more people would take
advantage of this opportunity, they
would feel greatly repaid for doing

Muskegon, Nov. 29.-Oyer a half
million collars worth of Domesticated
Foxes will be displayed December Z,

Fox show of the National Silver Fox

This will be the only fox show held
on the North American Continent

a collection of Silver Fox furs, val
ued at several thousand dollars will
be exhibited. Foxes from all parts
of the Northen half of the United
States will be exhibited and will in
clude Black, Silver, Red. White,

The Silver Fox industry in Mus
kegon is but six years old, yet it
has grown from a beginning with
four pairs to about 2,400 foxes, val
ucd at about s3,000,000.
A few years ago Silver Fox Farm
ing was looked upon by the general
public as a fad o gold-brick scheme
but today it is recognized by both
the U. s. and Canadian governments
as one of the leading branches of
the live stock industry. Michigan
now leads, and no doubt will con-
tinue to lead the United States in
the production of these valuable lit
tie animals and their furs.

FAITHFUL EMPLOYEES
WERE REMEMB MBERED

Shortly after Oscar f. Webster,
late owner and manager of the Her
aid Publishing Company, d ed, it be-
came known that he had in his ILL
ness thought of the faithful work
which two of his employees had put
in while he was compelled TO be away
from the Office and while settling up
his affairs it was discovered that he
had rewapJ ed them in a substantial
manner by giving to each of them a
share in the business.
The Herald Publishing company
was a stock concern and Mr.. Webster
held a large majority of the stock.
OF this he transferres $500 worth to
Ed. Hellus, who has been foreman
in the mechanical end of the plant
for a long time and another block of
$500 worth of stock TO Miss Mary
Krupp, the young lady who has at
tended 10 the work in the front end
of the Office and who also acted as
operator for the Postal company,
while Mr.. Webster was sick, Miss
Krupp having learned the operating
business several years ago. Mr..
Webster was even more thoughtful
and told the manager of the Postal
company in this district that he would
like to have the company give the
local managers position to Miss
Krupp. This request was also COM
piled with and at the present time
Mr.. Hellus and Miss Krupp are ac-
lively at the head Of the business and
are also part owners in the company.
Other employees in the Office were
also remembered by Mr.. Webster
with various gifts and following his
g'e ath they were given out.
