it is a male tree that will not have

woods you will always find more
mother trees than father trees.
Birds are great tree planters, at
least seed transporters and that is
why you find holly trees scattered over
the country. Remember, hollies grow
more handsome with age.
There is something to know that
this tree has some relative in every
continent. That shows adaptability,
strength and ambition. There are It's

Holly and mistletoe are always as
sociated. They were chosen by the
Druids to decorate their halls during
the time they were celebrating their
pagan rites. The custom of exchang-
ing gifts of holly originated with the
pagan tribes of Continental Europe.
Romans sent branches of holly, laden
with red berries, to each other as to-
kens of friendship. They also deco
rated their homes with the branches

BANKERS APPROVE
MORTGAGES.
Find Many Advantages in
National Housing
Act,

Within IA months, since the in
ception of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration's program. private finan-
cial institutions throughout the
country generally have awakened to
the advantages in the national housing
act.
In the early months after the pas
sage of the act scores Of banks were
either apathetic or even antagonistic
to the plan, but today these institu-
tions are actually competing for mort
cages insured under the single mort
gage system"
The same applies to the moderniza-
ton credit plan, which has proved it
self to be an innovation in financial
centers and has convinced thousands
of bankers that the insured character
loan is desirable type of investment.
The $226,996,551 already lent up to
December under this plan has been
made by the 6,010 private financial
institutions insured against loss by
the Federal Housing Administration.
Although slow in starting because
of the necessity for changes in State
laws, the single mortgage system" has
now taken root in the national finan-
cial strata. Banks and other mort
gage-lending agencies in every State
in the Union in ever-increasing num-
bers are soliciting this type of busi-
ness.
Up to December there were 1850
private financial institutions approved
as mortgages by the Federal Housing
Administration which had submitted
for appraisal urban home mortgages
totaling $234,778,324.
There are many indications in
various parts of the country Of the
complete change in attitude among
scores of financial institutions toward
the Federal Housing Administration S
program. Besides seeking mortgage
business outside of their own COM
munities, banks are also in some cases
Offering bonuses to dealers and con-
tractors for mortgage and moderniza-
tion loan prospects. In other sections
they are cutting interest rates in
order to attract borrowers.
Great stimulus was given tc
moderniZation activity within the last
six months when consolidated in
surance reserve was created fol
modernization loans with maximum
of $4,000 as we'll as to those up tc
$4,000. In this way large insurance
reserves built up by banks after many
months operation under the mod
ernization credit plan were combined
with relatively smaller reserves built
| up by banks under the recently en-
acted $4,000 extension of the mod
ernization credit plan.

WINSTON-SALEM, N. c., Decem-
ber IA marked increase in home

day by o. K. La Rogue, president OF
the Federal Home Loan Bank Of
Winston Salem.
I'm the fourth district, which en-
braces Maryland, Virginia, North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Florida and the District Of Columbia,
a building revival is we'll under way
and there is every indication that it
will gain momentum as the weeks
pass" the Home Loan Bank execu-
tive declared.
Individual borrowers are begin
ming to realize" he continued, that
the time is favorable to build and they
are looking to their local building and
loan associations as the proper horne
financing institutions to provide the
necessary funds"
The winston Salem bank reduced
its interest rate on loans to member
institutions from 4 to 3lz per cent,
effective January l, next.
I'VE feel that this reduction will en-
able local associations to provide all
the funds needed by individual bor-
rowers," Mr.. La oRque said. 'The
associations can afford to borrow
money on long terms and meet all
legitimate demands for credit"
Continuance Of the building revival
was indicated by the banks report for
November, despite the fact that No
vember, December and January are
not building months.
In November the bank made 65
loans to associations in seven States
for a total of $3.50, 600. This compares
with Is loans aggregating 1920 in
the corresponding month Of 1884.
THE rapid return of credit-seekers
to their old habit Of getting loan
from the local community financial
institution, where year ago they were
all minded to deal with Government
agencies, is indicated by this increas-
ing flow of Home Loan Bank funds to
the local institutions" Mr.. La Rogue
said.

November record was the repayment

Although refinancing continues to

struction or purchase of home.

compared to 1921, ,54208 the same
month a year ago.
"This is strong evidence Of the
liquidity and healthful condition Of
the associations" according to Mr..
La Rogue. "It is ample proof that
there is more money in the hands Of
the people and that the individual
borrowers are financially able to pay
their obligations to the associations. /"
The Horne Loan Bank president re-
CARDS this as the long-awaited good
news that recovery has reached the

~ YOUR next trip to Mount
Vernon, see how many of the
holly trees you can find.
~ There are 13 of them and it
is reasonable to believe they are the
same ones spoken of by George Wash

holly trees live to be several hundred
years old.
Why not make nature diary of
your own. Perhaps you can plant
some trees. too. Many trees grow
from seed easily. though they take a
lot of time about it. Look at the
naples and cedars. What fun it
would be to plant rows of little seeds
or transplant some baby trees and
later go back to see them grown upl
Then refer to your notebook and real
ize how the time has flown and what
a fine record you have to show for
that piece of work.
There are nurseries today growing
