SEMI-ANNUAL STATEMENT
Lamar Building 4 Loan Association
Makes Fine Showing for Past
Six Months.

We publish below the statement of
the Lamar Building & Loan Associa-
tion for the past six months. The
association is keeping up its splendid
record for careful and conservative
business methods and continues to pro-
duce dividends for its stockholders
that are very seldom equalled by fl
nancial institutions. The total assets
of the concern are now above the
quarter of a million mark and places
it among the big financial institutions
of the valley. Its authorized capital
is s1,500,0O0 now, and paid up capital
is near the two hundred thousand
mark. 1t is nearing the end of its
twenty-first year and has never in all
that time registered loss on a single
loan. Only a very few foreclosures
have ever been made and the loans on
these were so conservative that the
property was disposed of at a profit
generally in a few months time. Only
one small piece of real estate remains
III the ndIuS VI tTt dSsOCldllOn ana
the total indebtedness against it is
only S342. For careful management
we doubt if this record can be dupli-
Gated over the same period of years
by any cencern doing anywhere near
the same amount of business. There
have been 799 new shares of the AS
sociation issued the past six months.
The officers and directors are C. C..
Huddlest6n, president; Cora r. Strain,
vice-president; l. H. Myers, secretary
treasurer; w. J. Johnston. F. H. Kel-
sey, DIR. C. T. Knuckey and Frank
Wheeler. The securities committee
consists of w. J. Johnston, C. r.
Strain and F. II. Kelsey. The stock
holders are the citizens Of Lamar gen.
erally-at least those looking for a
real good thing.

A Passing Nightmare.

Lamar can now claim to be beauti-
fully through with one phase of its
development, since the putting up last
week of the handsome new awning in
front of the Leader Store marks the
passing of the last of the old CORFU
gated iron Nightmares that SO long
panied the eyes and disturbed the
sleep of all progressive citizens. They
came years ago as one of the early
forms of so-called progress when their
iron posts served as hitching posts
and there was not enough beauty
about our business section to make the
contrast so painful. The big hail
storm of 1905 checkered them with
holes that you could throw a cat
through but still they held on. Then
came the auto and the frenzied teams
soon began to drag the posts from
under them. The big wind of Easter
Day, 1913, took the last but this one,
and now with its passing only three
things are needed to make our Main
street really presentable. Paving,
street lights and tearing down the
big bill boards. They say the day of
miracles is past; but If we keep ever
lastingly at it even these blessings
will be given us in time.

THE BEST JUDGES
Citizens Who Know Facts Are Better
Judges Than Those a Thousand
Miles Away.

So much has been said on both sides
of the controversy as to Senator New
berry's seat in the senate that we be-
lieve the issue can be best left to the
judgment of the citizens of Michigan
where the events took place. Presi-
dent Wilson asked Henry Ford to run
for senator in 1918 in order to back
up his policies and retain his control
over the senate. The republicans of
Michigan nominated Newberry, who
was then engaged in war work as an
officer of the navy and whose two
sons were in the army-everybody
knows where Ford and his son were.
All the power of the Wilson admin
istration and the great war machine
were put behind the Ford compaign.
The government controlled railroads
and press associations and the great
Ford works were used to give him un-
limited free advertising. The citizens
of Michigan raised fund and spent
it in newspaper advertising to offset
this condition. If his was corruption
then any candidate for any office who
advertises in newspaper is corrupt.
Newberry was elected. A. U. S. Judge
appointed by Wilson was selected by
the department of so-called justice to
convict Newberry and the state cam
paign committee. They convicted
seventeen of them but the supreme
court of the nation reversed this YER
dict by unanimous vote.
The people of the state of Michigan,
who understood all the facts nominated
one of the seventeen as republican
candidate for secretary of state and
his conviction and the whole Ford
Newberry fight was made the issue
of the campaign. When the people of
Michigan spoke at last in November,
1920, it was found the man who had
been convicted by the selected court
ran over one hundred thousand votes
above his party candidate for govern
or and was elected by over a half mil
lion votes. The people of Michigan
are just as much opposed to corrup-
tion in their elections as those of any
other state, and knowing all the facts
as they do, their verdict is entitled to
more consideration than the mouthings
of all the demagogues who are spout
ing about Newberry. And especially
more than those loud-mouthed south
ern senators, who instead of using
money to buy their elections find it
much cheaper to use shot guns and
the torch to keep their opponents away
from the polls. At the last election
in Florida a whole section of a city
was burned to the ground because one
or two admittedly qualified electors
tried to vote. Do the democratic edi-
tors bowling so about Newberry ever
mention this g? Not so anybody can
notice it. There are thirty-six demo-
cratic senators and not over ten of
them can boast that they were fairly
elected in free and open contest. The
total vote of the other twenty-six was
less than given the convicted man in
Michigan for the reason that three
fourths of the voters both white and
black in their states were intimidated
to the extent that they would not at
tempt even to vote.

The End of a Dream.

An end to freedom has come in Rus
sia. No more free newspapers, no
more free books. Sovietism has aban-
doned its system of "no rents. no rates,
no taxes" The people must go back
to the slavery of paying for what
they want. Thus bolshevism loses its
lure.-Toledo Blade.

MERELY PUBLICITY STUFF

With bold headlines Henry Ford
announced that he had requested per
mission from the Interstate Commerce
Commission to let the employees OF
his railroad share in the profits. An
examination of his proposal shows
that what he really asked for wa
permission to sell his employees o
million dollars worth of securities on
which no income would be guaran
tecd. They would be permitted to in
vest their money on a chance Of max.
ng something. That is nothing more
nor less than every railroad in tht
country is doing today. Any ma;
can go into the market and buy either
stocks or bonds of the road on which
he is employed. But Mr.. Ford
method of making the announcement
gives the public the impression that
he is holding out to his employees
some special oportunity. Moth ~ o.
the sort.
