is first a matter Of taste.
Probably the least expensive
floor is the ordinary flat-grained
yellow pine. It is perfectly serv-

but it is more easily damaged than
edge-grain pine or any of the hard
woods used for floors, and, like any
flat-grained wood, the layers of the
grain are apt to rise where they

CINCINNATI, Ohio, February
81. - In 1896. for the first time
since the last half of 1890, the
number Of savings, building and
loan associations rating the top
group Of more than $40, 900, 900 in
resources increased during a six

reports that four additional aSSoci-

increases ranging from $500, 900 to
81, 300, 900, in the period between
July /, 1885, and January /, 1887.
These additions brought the
number Of associations with assets
over $4,000, 900, and holding mem
berShip in the league, to 33 as Of
December 81, 1896. Sixteen
of tn e m, practically so per

six months, a record not equalled
since 1881, and another sign Of the
fading out Of the deflation element
in association activity.
