also extending to them a warm in

credit to the town and reflects credit
to the party who designed it and al
so to the builder.
The unusual warm weather is
causing some worry to those grow

NEW SERIES OF STOCK, 55th, IS
SUED MARCH, 1927, BY THE
MILFORD BUILDING &
LOAN ASSOCIATION

At the annual meeting of the As
sociation, February 18th, 1927, new
series, the 55th, was authorized to
be issued and a limited number of
shares will be available to investors,
not exceeding ten (10) shares to any
one person.
The 4Srd Series matured June,
1926 in eleven (1D years and four
(4) months netting to the stock
holders better than eight (8) per
cent. on their shares. Borrowers
should remember this fact, that the
date of maturity of the series In
which their loan is placed is what
determines, not only the profit they
receive on their shares, but also the
rate of interest they pay on their
loan. For example:
In this Association they pay one
dollar per share of stock per month
until, plus the earnings, it reaches
a value of two hundred ($200) dol
lars when it is declared matured.
This means that in eleven (1D years
and four (D months, there will be
paid in on each share one hundred
and thirty-six ($1S6.) dollars. The
matured value being two hundred
($2OO.) dollars, the earnings for The
period are sixty-four ($64) dollars
per share, or better than eight (S)
per cent.
Borrowers can readily see, there
fore, that a few months later ma
turity means not only so many more
payments on their shares but also
an equal number of interest pay
ments on their loan in order to re-
ceive or cancel exactly the same
amount, namely two hundred ($2OOO
dollars. Think this over before you
borrow money and do a little figur-
ing. Get the facts.
The annual statement of the AS
sociation, as of February 18th, 1927,
audited by the State Banking De-
partment has just been issued. Ask

LEWIS NEW NOVEL
ASSA|LED BY WHITE
Kansas Editor Declares Book
Is Poor Satire on Com
merciaIized Religion.
Nv thn Associated press.

BY the Associated Press
KANSAS CITY. March 10.-With
the appearance of Sinclair Lewis
latest novel, Elmer Gantry," today,
William Allen White, Emporia, kans.,
editor and author, branded it as
Punch and Judy" attempt at "a sat
ire on commerCialiZed religion.
While Mr.. Lewis gathered much oi
the material for the novel here, Kan
sas City ministers today withheld an
nounced plans for public criticism due
in part, Ii was understood, to the au-
thor's assurance that none of his
characters was the portrait of an ac-
tual person.
Holds Impression Fails.
Mr.. White found "Gantry" was un-
convincing when as a youth from
country town he goes to Il theological
seminary, where. he appears in the
role of hypocrite, thief. a liar and
q seducer. He finally is expelled, later
to repent.
Much is to be said about CONNER
cialized religion Mr. White declared.
And Lewis has told much, but not
enough. He has said what he has
said so badly that 1t does not. make
the impression where it should and as
it should.
Taken at Word"
Sinclair Lewis stood in the pulpit
OF a Kansas City church last Spring
and deiied God to strike him dead. So
far as Sinclair Lewis, the artist, is
concerned in the book, Elmer Gantry,'
God took him at his word. He got
so excited making faces at God that
he forgot his craftsmanship.
THE only good preacher in the book
Is a saphead. The only good women
are duh. And the thing bears the
same relation to life that Punch and
Judy bear to life"
Mr.. White declared 'Ganti%' was
unconvincing because Lewis made
him a character of 'basswood" and
not flesh and blood.
