Sad is the lot of the savings de-
positor who after losing his savings
through wildcat speculation, is driven
to desperation for funds and finds it
necessary to borrow money to meet
an emergency such as sickness or un-
paid rent. Let me give the facts
about two cases of the many with
which | have come in contact.
The Lean Shark at Work
The principal characters in the
frst case are man, who must Dor
row $3.50 to place his wife in a hos
pltal to save her life, and loan shark.
who demands every ounce of blood.
In desperation the borrower applies to
this loan shark for the loan of $3.50.
This is what it costs him-the
amount is almost unbelievable but I
obtained the exact figures first hand
and | can vouch for their correctness
this man was obliged to give his
note for 1925 for loan of $3.50! The
day he got the note the shark sold it
to an innocent holder and it became
an obligation binding upon the bor-
rover. Think of paying $925 for
loan of $780,
Here is another. This time there is
woman in the case. The woman

MISS FREAKES IN
AUTO ACCIDENT

Marjorie Freakes, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. William Freakes, met with
injuries late Friday afternoon when
the steering gear broke on the Ford
sedan she was driving to Red Lodge
from Belfry by way of Bearcreek.
The accident occurred at the foot of
the Washoe hill; the car turning over
and landing in small body of water.
The Ford was damaged to such an ex-
tent as to require the use of a wrecker
to haul it to local garage. Miss
Freakes' bruises were given care in
the city. She was able to return to
her duties in the Belfry high school
Sunday, accompanied on the return
trip by her mother.

telephoned her to call. 1t was now
too late for her to make any other ar
rangements for borrowing the funds.
The shylock had planned it so that
she would be at his mercy and would
nave to accept his terms. He charged
her $3.50 for loan of 1851
How the Shark Does 1t
Doubtless your curiosity is aroused
as to how this shylock can get away
with such deal. Here are the facts.
He charged large commission for
making the loan and also included a
wide range in fees such as for draw
ing up papers and notarial fees. On
top of this he required the borrowers
to buy stock in his company which
was worthless. Then he required them
to take out through him life insurance
to about one hundred times the
amount of the loan foR which he re-
ceived liberal commission. In fact,
he resorted to every imaginable
scheme in order to bleed them of the
last drop of blood they had to give.
And the unfortunate thing about it all
is that the borrowers in these two
cases found it necessary to meet such
exorbitant terms because they had
already lost their savings through i'll
advised investments.

A TRADE STIMULATOR

Prob ~ the most effective trade stmulator in
these til es next to advertising, is to provide a
city or town with good streets and roads leading
out into the surrounding districts.
The merchants of city may shout their heads
off for their home town, they may plan elaborate
schemes for bringing in new trade but if the
streets are bad from the surrounding country into
their town, then the trade will not come in any
thing like the volume they ought to have
People hate to drive their automobiles over bad
Streets and they will go 20 miles over a good road
rather than IL over poor one. They feel that
rough streets wear out their cars and tires. and
every moment Of jolting over the rough surfaces
is an annoyance and irritation.
Business men often complain of their heavy
taxes IN which highway construction is one Of the
largest items, but they should reflect that the fu
ture OF their business depends to large extent on
the character OF the streets in their town and
those leading to it.
MANY cities are well provided with roads out
