It was founded on plans that as sured its members the most liberal treatment and the broadest privileges consistent with the proven laws of business and the safe guarding of the moneys intrusted to its care. It was organized by men vho stand well in the social and business life of their city, and whose names are a guarantee of the honor able conduct of any business with which they are associated. Its Shares Were Sold on Weekly Installments of 121-2 Cents and men, women and children from every station of life came and investigated and bought, then went among their friends and spread the news that The Home - Building & Loan Association loans its money at 696 on homes and farms anywhere in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. It gives borrowers Eleven Years to repay. It paying gives borrowers the privilege of $50.00 or any multiple of that amount on the money loaned them, thus re ducing both principal and interest as rapidly as they choose without cancelling or sacri ficing the profits on their shares. It enables a person of small means, or large, to buy and pay for a home in install ments no harder to meet than the old rent bills. It provides a safe means for systema tic saving where principal is secure, and un taxed and earnings are above six per cent. Every dollar paid into the Association is immediately loaned to improve property or provide homes for its shareholders, and no others, and no officer or director of the Association can under any circumstances borrow a penny of its funds to use in fur thering his own projects or for his private gain. Thus advertised by the people who believed in the principles upon which it is founded, the Association quickly attained a growth never before equalled by a similar Association in this State in so short a period, making an epoch in the history of Building & Loan Associations with an Opening Series Aggregating $173,400.00 Subscriptions are now being received for is Second Series Opening Saturday, April 19th And we invite every person in Mecklenburg County who needs the help that such an Association can give; who believes in help ful co-operation or is ambitious for the future, to become a member of this series. . We are ready at any hour of the day to take your subscription or explain to you every detail of the working of this Association which exists for those who care to make the most of their lives and opportunities The & Loan Association W.

That's what the farmer said when he saw his first circus giraffe, and that is practically what the United Outlet Co., New York, have been saying about the record-breaking ru n at Lawing-Robbins tremendous big sale. It has been almost-impossible to meet the demand, so great have been the inroads of eager buyers created by their insatiable craving for good fur niture, rugs and stoves at wondrous underpricing. "What's coming off in Charlotte?" That has been the terse exclama tion going the rounds of every house hold a9 pleased customers after custo mer carried the news of the rush for bargains in household good3 at Lawing-Robbins Furniture Co.'s sale faster than the clerks could wait upon them. Yesterday the United Outlet Co.'s man. the one who is responsible for the creation of this big sale at Lawing-Robbins, which has set Charlotte daffy, hurried into town to "see what was up." "Unbeleivable," was the word he used, when he saw the store crowded with the jam of buyers. He was shown the almost depleted warehouses of their vast stocks, and the crowd of eager, intelligent purchasers, and be became convinced. "It only goes to show how greatly Charlotte has been maligned," he said. "This city knows a 'good thing' when it sees it and the best is none too good for Charlotte. This city beats all others for cozy, nicely fur nished homes and appreciation of good home furnishings as furniture, rugs and stoves" at marvelously cut prices at this rate. Doubt whether the $30, 000 stock will last the limited ten-daya which end positively on Saturday, April 12th at 10 F- m. I seriously hope those needing furniture, rugs and stoves will not delay any longer but come tomorrow before it is too late, for no housewife loving a nicely fur nished home, can afford to miss Lawing-Robbins Big Sale." WESTERN MTI PUT WIRES UNDE KBOUi IT Gill The Western Union Telegraph Co. has informed City Electrician Connel lv that it will begin at once placing its wires underground. Mr. Connelly took the matter up some months ago with local manasrer, J. E. Hammersly, and also with the district manager of the comrany. They expressed a willing ness to undertake th work as soon as possible. They are now ready. The announcement means that, the companVs wires on ,Tryon and Trade and adiacent streets will be taken down, the unsightly poles removed, OT1H the wires nlaeed underground m conduits. The removing of these poles which are the tallest on tne streets ,nri thP wires with which they are ian Tv-il! contribute much toward the -City Beautiful." The placing of the ornamental light standards and steel trolley poles for the new lighting sys tem is expected to be completed by May 1st and with the removal of the wooden poles and wires of the tele graph company and the completion of the new lighting system there will be such a transformation in the appear ance of Trvon and Trade streets that visitors to the city who have not been here for some time will hardly know tbThettYestcrn Union also contem plates the expenditure of about 000 in improvements and equipment for the local office in the near future. They now occupy the entire building No. 30 South Tryon street, which is four stories. GIMPS :::::H'!?'!:i::::j:':!:;:i,::'j:nif:"p'r HEADACHE, BACKACHE, Yield to Lydia E.

FOR MEN WHO KNOW a rot State is Third in South In Farm Products Special to The News. Raleigh, April 3. Commissioner of Agriculture V. A. Gtiham calls atten tion to the fact that the government crop bulletin just issued shows North Carolina to he the third among the Southern states with respect to the value of agricultural products, Texas and Georgia being the two -Southern states that are leading North Carolina. Alho the report shows that within three years North Carolina has climbed from nineteenth place to four teenth among the ' states of the entire union with respect to the value of farm products. Hardin Meet ing At Inmty EDISON'S BULLY IN VENTION" WRECKED. Preparations for a national clean-up campaign under the direction of James E. West, chief scout executive of the Boy Scouts of America, are now under way. The boy seouts are ready to co operate with the authorities not only in New York, but in cities and'towns in every part of the country. It is likely that more than one-half of 300,000 boy scouts will help in the movement for the improvement of the sanitary condi tions of the place in which they live. Dr, Marion McMillan, the clean-up expert of New York, has appealed to the boy scouts in that city and has received their co-operation. Dr. McMillan is giving directions to the boy scouts about work in that section of the city in which they live. The hoy scouts also are helping to distribute literature bearing on the crusade against dirt. These pam phlets are being given to household ers, janitors and servants. The -crusade is being carried on in Boston, Mass.,, St. Paul, Minn.; Yon kers, New York; Detroit, Michigan; Norfolk, Virginia; Zanesville, Ohio; Vicksburg, Miss., and various other cities throughout the far West. The work is to collect all tin cans, broken bottles, newspapers and vari ous other articles that litter the streets and vacant lots. By doing this the boy scouts are improving the sanitary conditions and fighting dis ease. They also are doing much to pre vent accidents that often occur in littered streets. The mid-week service at Trinity Methodist church was marked by deepening interest. These special services have been conducted with a total absence of anything border ing on high pressure, methods or undue emotionalism. 'The sermons have been educative, inspiring and ac companied by- strong and direct ap pealing power. Rev. Mr. Hardin closely guards against-wasting time by dwelling on non-essential things, yet his themes have to do with the every-day condi tions of life.
