Mortgages on good real estate have been accepted for ages as the safest investment. They arc the oldest form of investment and date back to Rabylonan times, four thousand years ago. Mortgages are today the first choice of investors who seek the profitable employ ment of capital under conditions of absolute security. A mortgage rep" resents a loan of money on a deh- nite piece of real estate. The loan Is secured by two binding papers: first, the mortgage note, in which the borrower promises to pay in- terest at fixed rate at definite periods, and also to repay the en- tire amount of the loan at definite times in instalmentsi second, the mortgage deed, which gives to the lender the title 10 the property in the event that the money loaned Is not repaid when due. or if any of the other provisions Of the mort gage note are not exactly fulfilled.
 On March 10, 1924. the corpora ton received a license from the state banking commissioner to make loans up to sSo0,0o to responsible persons. In analyzing one of the loan companies incorporated less than twelve years ago, their tinan- cal statement showed that in 1914 they loaned a little over sl60,000 and in 1928 they loaned nearly s12,o00. .000. This statement clearly shows that there is a demand for small loans.
 You are entitled to know all the facts about this business so vtaly important in modern life today. The loan business of today Is conducted by business men who realize that the life Of any business Is assured only as the business answers fairly the need of the public. The state

PRIMITIVE ARR GAN TRIBE
LIVES AS ]. 900 YEARS AGO.

LONDON, June 30s-For 5000
years there has been no change In
the life and customs Of. the fair
skinned Berber Hill tribes OF the
Ayres district, the most ancient
Of the existing races Of North Africa,
according to Captain IL w. Hilton.
Simpson. traveller and explorer, who
has just returned from an ,expedi-
ton to the district. Accompanied by
bis wife and their small son and
daughter, he gained admission to
family circles Of the natives that
would have been closed to q lone
male investigator.
Captain HIlton-S Simpson describes
the native manufacture Of pottery
as extremely primitive: there has
been no variation for the last 5000
years. The cave dwellings inhabited
today by many Ehawwiya families
reveal the homes Of their ancestors
IN paleolithtc times. Some OF the
industries. he says, probably were
introduced at the time Of the no
man occupation twenty centuries
ago while others are reminiscent OF
ancient Egypt.
