WHY BUILDING AND LOAN
ASSOCIATIONS SELL STOCK

The primary object of such asso-
Citations is to furnish funds to enable
people to own their own homes. To
provide for the payment of such loans
they accept small monthly payments,
which, plus the earnings (the last ser
les of the Milford Building and Loan
Association matured in eleven years
and five months) cancel the amount
loaned
The Milford Building and Loan As
sociation has been in existence fifty
one years. There have been occasions
in its history when no investment
stock was sold. In other words no
stock was sold unless the investor was
a borrower, also. The reason for this
was that money was plentiful and in
light demand and idle funds mean
smaller earnings and a longer time
required to mature stock.
Last year was one of the biggest
building years in the history of the
country. Many new homes were
financed by this association. The COM
ing spring will witness many new
building operations. The demand for
money with which to build or buy will
be great. Applications, therefore, for
shares in the 51st Series, 10 be issued
in March, will be received any time
by any officer or director of the asso-
citation or by the secretary, at the Of
flee of the Association, 1O7 N. Walnut
street. Assets 70 the Association are
over $2S1,OOO. Earnings last year in
excess Of 10.

high praise:
THE motion picture world has been

the tyrant, ands the downfall and
death of Nero through the evil plot

NEW YORK CRITICS
YIELD TO BARRYMORE
They ShOWered His Performance of

During Its Run of Three and Half
Months.
(Reported by Press Agent
Nixon Theatre)

Every newspaper in New York ac-
corded Sherlock Holiness" the Gold
wyn superfeature starring John Bar
rymore, the highest praise when it
was given pre-release showing at
the worlds largest theatre, the Capt.
tOl, and broke all records for weeks
engagement at that house, following
it with three months run at B. S.
Moss Cameo Theatre in the heart of
New York's Theatrical District. 1t
then moved to the Broadway Theatre
for an additional week on Broadway.
Barrymore's Interpretation of Conan
Doyle's famous character was ac-
claimed as the finest thing he had ever
done for the screen and the picture,
made under the direction Of Albert
Parker who "shot" the scenes in Eng
land and Switzerland as we'll as Am

fine; PhOtOgraphy-Ver Good; Value
100 per cent" The review accom-
panying this summary enlarges upon
the merits of the picture as follows:
Sherlock Holmes is by far the most
thrilling character in detective fiction.
He's always the man who plays the
last card, holds the whip hand and
that kind of thing. So satisfactory, 1
think, to be sure your hero is going to
come up smiling and with a pipe in
his mouth.
1T was undoubtedly happy thought
making picture about him, and put
ting Jack Barrymore in the title role
was little short of inspiration. Mr..
Barrymore has a light air of infallibil-
ity, anyhow.
Really you will have an awfully
good time watching him work in this
film. If you have a small neighbor
who is in the throes of detective liter
ature take his hand and lead him to
the Capitol Theatre, too. 1 fancy lit
tie boys are going to derive an inn
mense kick from the story and the
manner of its telling.
"The London scenes were taken in
London. That's nice, isn't it? All the
1erie atmosphere of the story has
been preserved in toto. No less a per-
son than the ineffable Roland Young
plays Watson! That in itself is worth
the price of admission"
After commenting on Sir Arthur
Conan DOyle's approval of the picture,
'The Morning Telegraph" continues:
THUS making it unanimous that |
Sherlock Holmes is one of the great
est film successes that Mr.. Barrymore |
has ever made and a superlatively !
fine motion picture. Had Conan Doyle |
himself started out to conjure up an
embodiment in flesh and blood of all |
the battling, canny, whimsically ironic
and astute characteristics of the
greatest detective, he could not have
invoked more fascinating reality
than Mr.. Barrymore. The latter's inn
Dersonation will doubtless seem many
things to many people. But each one
will wonder with the same breathless
how he knew that Watson
moved his bureau, and chuckle IN the
same degree when he tricks Moriarty,
behind the curtain, for here is the per-
'ect detective story, camera told"

Frederick Basketball

On the night of January 18th, the
boys basketball team of the Frederick
high school defeated the fast team of
the Newark high school on thei Fred
erica floor. The game was one Iof the
best seen on the local floor this year.
In the first half, Newark had things
pretty much her own way. AT the
end of the half the score stood to
16 in favor of Newark. At the open
ing of the second half the Frederica
team got into action and soon tied
the score, and by clever passing and
shooting succeeded in taking the game
by the score of % to 18. The Freder-
sea high school and the people of
F'rederica wish to thank the Newark
team for their clean sportsmanship
and courtesy, both during the game
and after it.

In an interview with the represen-

be Wayward in their younger days
and, like he does. live to regret.
Sometimes it takes our misfor-
tunes to make us see our past mis-
takes. lis Wilson's philosophy"
Sometimes that is too late. If 1t
were possible for us to live our
lives, then go back and live them
over again, we would improve on
the first attempt But that isn't
the way of things.
O O o
Denies Guilt.
Because Of this fact 1t would
pay US all to stop and think for
a minute before we go into those
things which lead us into trouble.
l am not guilty of the murder of
poor Kirby Cole, but l realize
that the mistakes l have made in
the past have counted heavily
against me in my present misfor-
tune.
Like other boys I got in wild
company. 1t doesn't pay fellows.
The straight path is the only one
which does. Coming from me, my
statements may not have much
weight, but 1 wish I could per-
sonally warn every young fellow
against the tt ,ngs which will lead
him into troI BILE.
1 feel that now l am saved by
Christ. In that respect my pres
ent trouble has proven a blessing
to me. Lots of fellows would real

would but stop and think about 1t

We plunge headlong into devil

never stopping to think there is
a day of reckoning, if not in this
world, then in the next. The DAY
or that reckoning is known to
none OF US. We live today, well
and happy, then tomorrow we
may be called up yonder.
Stop and think, boys, stop and
