Godfrey, however. cannot hope to crowd into the championship pie ture no matter what he does to Pauline or any other contender. His manager has said some dispa sing things about Tunney and the other organization heayyweishts. AS a consequence, Godfrey's quest of a title match is liikely to be just as fruitless as was that of Harry Wills.
 It has been anything but a sa,is- factory winter for the hcavyweights so far. Business ha. suffered from too much elimination, including the elimination of Jack Dempsey. But if the elimination of the old Manassa Mauler is no more lasting than that Of some of the other contenders there is little reason 10 doubt the possibility Of third Dempsey Tunney fight.
 Most Of Tex Richards S big shots during the past few years have been with the heavyweights but a few more lighting terrors, such as Jimmy McLarnin, may make the promoter forget some of his concentration on the bigger brigade.
 The little fellows have been pack ing 'em in this winter to a greater extent than In years. The Canzoneri- Bass tilt for the featherweight crown, the Hudkins- Baker welter- weight clash and McLarnin Ferris fray have given the fans more ex- citing action than half dozen heavyweight elimination bouts
 McLarnin just now looms as the greatest drawing card any division has had. outside of the heavy weights since the heydays of Benny Leonard. whose two famous fights with Lew Tender drew an aggre- gate of more than $S00,000 ill out door arenas.
 \ McLarnin- Mandell battle at the Yankee Stadium for the lightweight . crown might easily be ballyhooed into one of the biggest outdoor at- fractions Of the summer.
 There are at least three other 'naturals' outside the heavy list return match between Canzoneri and Bass. a bout between Ace Hud- kins and Joe Dundee for the welter title and a return go between Tommy Loughran and Leo Lomski for the light heavyweight championship. The carly tennis rafprDs Pacific coast carry no soothing note to the prospective rivals Of Helen Wills this season.
 The performance Of the queen Of the courts in hohlding Little Bin' Johnston to even terms in smash ing exhibition match at scores Of 1S-1l, 6-s, is astonising. even to those who have watched the re markahle development Of stroking power in the California girls game.

S1,500,000 Has Been Loaned
on Bismarck Real Estate
in 81 Years
(By the Building Editor)

Operation of the Bismarck Build
ing and Loan Association is a COM
munity proposition based on mutual
interest Of the investor and borrow
er and that is the secret of it's sue
cess, according to F. L. Conklin, Sec
rotary.
It combines the forces of the
small investor and the borrower who
share equally in its earnings and its
annual operating costs are only
about one per cent of its assets. Low
operating costs help to swell the
dividends.
The plan used requires the bor-
rover to pay a fixed sum monthly
until the loan is paid. A portion of
this monthly payment is credited to
the principal of the loan, part to
interest and the remainder to his
membership dues in the association.
At the end Of the year he gets a
dividend on that part of his loan
which is paid up.
Essentially, Conklin said, it is a
longtime proposition, since most
loans are planned to extend for a
10-year period or until they have
been paid. In some cases borrow.
ers have objected to a 1O-year loan
wishing to shorten the time. In such
cases, and where it appears that the
adjustment will be benefit to the
borrower, he is allotted more shares
Of stock and the paying period j.
shortened proportionately.
During it's history the Bismarck
Building and Loan Association hal
loaned $1,50O,0OO on Bismarck rea
estate-and it doesn't own a single
piece of real estate today. Two ex
plantations are given for this fact
One is the careful management
which its officers have given the in
stitution and the other is the essen
tial soundness of the homecoming
enterprises in Bismarck.
In only Z few cases has the asso
ciation been compelled to take ovel
property and in these cases the as
sociation has been protected from
loss BY It's conservative policy ant
