vestigation into the affairs of the Labor
Union Savings Bank of which Mr.. David
Jackson was President. The bank was
found to be insolvent, and the Chairman
of the Commission, Government Attor-
ney, Mr.. Bigg. said they would take
it into the bankruptcy court. Finally a
private liquidation was permitted on con-
dition that Mr.. David jackson took no
part in it, and four liquidatOrs were ap-
poi0ted by the then board of the bank.
OF cheese four, Mr.. A. de Chabert and |
were chosen as Treasurer and Chairna
respectively.

known 70 Mr.. Jackson volunteered its
support by a resolution on Dec. 16, 1918
binding itself to be financially response
BILE for all deficit In December 1921 the
Supreme Council of he Labor Union
adopted a resolution which confirmed the
re5oI lti3n of December 1918. 1t furth-
er binds the Union to accept the balance
of the securities at face value plus inter-
est al any time the liquidators may think
it advisabla to turn over such securities
to them, also to pay the depositors as
they call. The liQuidatOrs have not yet

therefore retained MI. 0. G. Granady
for the purpose of collecting these out
standings with the hope of soon being
able to wind up the affairs of the bank.
Mr.. David jackson was also president
of the Union when the insolvency of the
bank was brought to light by the Gov
rnmen Commission, and the same Gov
ernment Attorney said that if he retain
ed the position as president Of the Union,
the Institution would be outlaWed. To-
day he appear like a new luminary in

David Jackson has certainly forgotten

When it is known that the Printing

president is about the largest debtor to

Delco Light

YOUR country home may be splendidly
situated. The breeze playing around
it may be most restful and refreshing,
but il you haven't electric light and
power, you are not enjoying its comforts
to the fullest extent.
You may be two, six or ten miles away
from town, but with OELCO- LIGHT
installed, you can have every convent

Think what an advantage it would be
to have electric lights throughout your

of coffee and toast for breakfast without
the use of the kitchen stove. or a we'll

DELCO- LIGHT
