MORRIS PLAN LOAN
CO. MAYjMMED
F. A. Hull Proposes Organiza
tion For Making Small
Loans and Investments.
SUCCESSFUL ELSEWHERE
Vrodcrick A. Hull of this city stated
today that lie will call a meeting of
Ashevlllo business men this week to
discuss the establishment here of a
Slorrn Plan company for malting in
dustrial loans and Investments. Mr.
Hull, who is well known In this terri
tory was for ninny years a national
bank .examiner. Is .organizer of these
companies, which have already been
established in many towns and cities
jn the l.'nlted .States, with the Indus
trial Finance company of New York
as the. parent cornoratlon.
The obleet of the new loan system
is to enable persons of small means to
borrow email sums for as Ions as one
year and to secure investments on the
Installment plan. Loans are made on
the basis of character and earning
power of the applicant. Two Indorscrs
sign a note with the applicant and he
becomes u subscriber to a '"class C
certificate." Supposing the loan is for
for 12 months, the note is discounted
at the legal rate of interest and the
borrower pay Jl a week on two cer
tificates of $50 each for 5 2 weeks. At
the end of that time he may draw out
the money to pay off his note or he
may exchange ''the -certificate for' ' a;
"class B cprtiiicate" which draws in
terest at the rate of 5 per cent and
pay his note in some other way, if he
so desires. This system not only ac
commodates borrowers of small
amounts, whose trade Is an expense to
a bank, but encourages thrift and the
accumulation of st. Ings. Clnfs E cer
tificates are accepted as collateral for
loans.
Favorably Received. .
Mr. Hull has talked oovr the propo
sition w ith a number of men In Ashe
ville familiar with financial questions
and it is believed that there is a place
for such an Institution in this com
munity. The proposed company would
start business with a capital of $50,000
25 per cent of which would bo sub
scribed by the Industrial Finance com
pany. Jlr. Hull states that overhead
charges of operation are small under
this plan. One bookkeeper can handle
nil the accounting necessary; no legal
reserve is required; the loans are se
cured by the endorsers and by the cer
tificates. A paid discount ornn.:tt"e
passes carefully on all applications for
loans and the endorser is protected by
the privilege of continuing any pay
ments that, may fail on account of
death or disability of the principal on
the note. Tt Is expected that nn in
surance feature will at an early date
oe added to further protect endorsers
(gainst death of the borrower.
Originator of Plan.
The Morris IMan company of Salis
bury l.'Lst year made a handsome profit
on its business and the people of that
1 rity appear to be well pleased with the
operation of the organization. Th?
Industrial Finance company is capi
talized at 57.000,000, ?J, 000.000 of
which Is paid in, it Is stated.
Arthur Morris is originator of the
Idea, which proposes to do for persons
of all classes what it Is proposed for
the government to do for the farmers
through rural banking organizations.
The plan was first placed !n operation
In Norfolk, V in 1H10 and s nee that
time similar institutions have been
formed In other ritk-s. The system is
a familiar one In European countries
where, it is stated, it is much easier
for persons In limited financial circum
etances in borrow money than It has
ever been In the I'nited States.

Tech's Mainstays in
Pitcher's Box.
THE SCHEDULE.
Alumni in Asheville and through
out western . North Carolina will be
Interested in the following announce
ment regarding the baseball schedule
and the prospects for this season's
team, which has been sent out from
A. and M. college:
"Aa warm weather approaches.
large numbers of baseball recruit
are out dally for practice at the A.
and Jr. college. Last week three
workouts were held by Coach Correll
for those who are anticipating play
ing with the Techs this year. A num
ber of last year's team are again out
for their old posts. The main hurl
Ins staff, has as good as been picked,
for Kvans, mainstay of the staff last
year is first up this year, and in much
better form than when the season
opened last year. Carlyle Weathers,
who was the mainstay of the Raleigh
high school team last year, will no
doubt land the position as the other
first hurler. After his high school
career closed last year, Weathers
played with Raeford In the Eastern
Carolina Amateur league. Weathers
Is a southpaw, weighing 170, and
stands six feet high.
"There will be some openings In
the infield this year. Gammon did
not return to college, and therefore
third base will be open. Wheeler has
the position at short pretty well
cinched. Being both a fast fielder
and heavy batter, he will no doubt
land his old post. Hodgin will more
than likely land his old job at second
and Johnson at first. At present
Thrash Is the only one of last year's
outfielders out for this year's team.
Johnson is one of the basketball
squad and will be until late in Feb
ruary. When the basketball season
Is over, both Johnson and Sullivan
will go nut for baseball. ; Several
good freshmen players have so far
shown up. Rousseau and Pressly,
both former Horner players, have
shown up In good form."

DOWD CONFESSES
TO ONEROBBERY
Veteran Cracksman Saves Two
Pals From Trial May Re
turn to Asheville.
BROOKLYN SLIM READS.
; Postofflce Inspector B. B. Webb of
Statesvllle, formerly stationed at
Asheville, who is a visitor here today,
states that Tom Dow u, alias Thomas
Price, alias Tom Murray, or Old Hi
ram, lias just plead guilty at Balti
more to the robbery of the postolhVeat
St. Michael's, thereby saving two other
men from trial on this charge. Charles
Horn and an alleged ycggnian named
Howard (though both of these men
have a long list of nom de plumes),
were accused hy the government offi
cers of conspiracy with Dowd to re
move the postal funds at St; MU hart's,
for their own use. powd, who was in
Buncombe county' jail for safe keep
ing pending trial at Ktatesville for
the Hillsboro robbery, was taken to
Baltimore last week by Deputy -Mar
shal J. F. Garner and the veteran
cracksman theer assumed sole respon
sibility for the trespass upon the fed
eral government's property in Mary
land. "Old Tom confessed to save his
pals," said tbe inspector.
Mr. Webb and Inspector Hodgin
worked up ihe evidence against Dowd
for the 11 llsboro robbery and after a
long chase he was located at his' wife's
home at Winchester. Ya The Vir
ginia officers, it is said, found Tom bv
following his wife when ?he left Haiti-,
more. . "Brooklyn Slim." whom Mr.
Webb believes to be James llai kett, is
now n Charlotte jail on charges of
being a member of the can.g thai blew
the North Charlotte safe.
When Brooklyn was arrested in
Charlotte as he was calling for his
mail he had in his possession a pint or
of nitroglycerine. Mr. Webb says
that the' liquid was a hiiih power ex
plosive, which fact the officers demon
strated by exper mer.ls on a rock
quarry nenr Charlotte. A teaspoon-
ful of the stuff fired on a rock weigh
ing several hundred pounds made
very small pieces of the boulder. '.
Hackett, or James Donahue, as
"Brooklyn Slim" calls himself, refuses
to talk much about former exploits,
.Mr. Webb says. He did. however,
make scornful comment about a "Job"
that he was told about. "Why. the
fools blew open the wrong door of
that safe." said "Brooklyn." The left
hand door with a false combination
attached had actually been attacked
with an explosive, wrecking the safe
entirely, Mr. Webb describes "Brook
lyn" as well educated and exception
ally Intelligent. When he Is not read
ing l ooks from the Carnegie library in
Charlotte the alleged safe-blower is
said to worry somewhat over an un
expired term in the Pennsylvania state
prison from which he escaped with
about seven years yet to serve.
Dowd has not yet been sentenced
on the Maryland charge, the authori
ties ddrin!i to try him in this state
on the Hillsboro indictment, it is
stated, before he is given time for the
other performance. Mr. Webb thinks
that Dowd will probably be brought
back to Asheville soon.

BY WILLIAM
One Good Thing
THE old, chronic varicose or leg
ulcer which Is covered with a
dry, resistant. Indurated slough
is one of the most discouraging con
ditions to treat. Any one who suffers
with such an ulcer will do well to
consider what the brewery has to
offer in the way of treatment.
The suggestion, so far aa we are
aware, was originally made by the
late Dr. Roswell Park, the distin
guished surgeon, author and teacher
of Buffalo, N. Y. We have found it
very valuable, and only our Inborn
hatred for breweries and all their
works has prevented ns from passing
the Information on to our readers.
Now, however, the poor breweries are
having a pretty hard time keeping
their heads above water; farther,
more they have been remarkably
courteous and accommodating In fur
nishing quantities of their by product
for our patients, so we must sup
press our racial antipathy and speak
the truth about an excellent remedy
brewer's yeast
Any old sore that is covered with
a dirty, gangrenous or resistant
slough, or any ulcer which refuses
to assume the bright red, granular,
velvety appearance of a healing
wound (granulating surface) may be
treated with brewer's yeast to good
advantage. The yeast is obtained
fresh every two or three daya from
the brewery in a wide-moutbed Jar
or pall a quart or so at a time and
kept In the refrigerator. It the
brewer's real product tastes and acts
aa well aa this by-product smells we
do not blame the few million people
who consume the former.

Mil DEFER ACTION
Ofl TEUTON NOTES
TJ. S. Will probably Await De
velopments Regarding Arm
ed Merchantmen. "
Washington, Fob. 15. The t'nited
States probably -will leave to future
developments whether any action will
be taken in response to the announce
ment from the, Teutonic allies that
armed merchantment beginning
March 1 will be subjected to subma
rine attack without warning.
From high official quarters today
came the information that the memo
randums received from the German
and Austrian governments are consid
ered in themselves a sufficient warn
ing to Americans to refrain from en
gaging passage on merchant ships of
the class of vessels affected by the
order.. '
Tl.c United States, admittedly, has
found itseif to be in a 'delicate. 'position
as a result of its memorandum to
the entente allies and the memoran
dum from the central powers. Should
this government approve of the posi
tion of the Teutonic controversies im
mediately would result, and it might
even be charged that the United States
had committed an unneutral act of
benelit to the enemies of the entente.
On the other hand the central pow
ers, it is believed, might be offended
should the state department criticise
adversely their memoranda, which
was generally regarded to be a devel
opment of the American : memoran
dum, suggesting . the diwirniiug of
merchantmen.
The emorandum, both of which
were studied by Secretary Lansing to
day, do ut, it is said, necessarily call
for an answer. They probably will
be brought officially to the attention
of the cabinet at its meeting today,
and 5uuie definite policy in regard to
them may be decided on.
The state department, it is said, will
continue its efforts to have the entente
allies agree to the suggestions con
tained in its memorandum suggesting
the disarming of merchant ships..' Va
rious high officials believe the allies
finally will agree to adopt the sugges
tions of the United suites.

gauze apply a layer of rubber dam
such as dentists use, or a square of
oiled silk, or a piece of oiled or
waxed paper, to prevent too rapid
drying of the yeast. Then a little
cotton for padding, and finally a
anug bandage, preferably an elastic,
an ideal, or a woolen flannel bandage
made from flannel cut on the bias.
The yeast smarts a little at first.
But it will clean up the ulcer and In

changed about every eight hours. At
each re-dressing bathe the ulcer gen.

touching It with anything Just pour
the water over it to remove all the
old yeast and any secretions from the
surface.
The yeast dressings may be kept
up for a week, more or less, until the
ulcer becomes fairly clean.
Of course the nutrition of the tis

than a pound of salve for any vari

Great Statesmen
We find, In studying them closely
These statesmen that we once
called great
That they cut up and act morosely
And pick a quarrel with their
fate
jf someone else succeeds In brlneirr

form. ,
That ought, it seems, to set then
singing
It merely makes them sulk or

One time we fell for their preten.

And thought their very heart
were set .-. -"
O11. what they preached now their
dimensions
Have shrunken, much to our re
gret. We find that what they really long
for .
Is not the righteous thing, per se,
But that the thing they are so
strong for
, Is having great things done "by
- me."

Conscience
(Should be divided into two sj
lables'. Con-science. Get that!)
The conscientious manufacturer
of cartridges for domestic use only,
who had sternly sworn not to make
any for use in the war, said to his
trade-getter:
"How is business?"
'Fine! Never so rushed, with o
ders before, Bir."
"You haven't taken any of thoso
accursed war orders!"
"No, indeed. Not one."
"What has caused our rush?"
"Well, you see most of our com
petltors are engaged In making war
stuff, and. they have cheerfully,
turned over the domestic trade to
us so they can devote themselves to
the foreign trade."
"The dastards! How dare they
profit by the taking of human life?
Well! put on as many more hands
ns are needed, and if necessary we
will put on a night-shift. But no
profiting by the war, mind you!"
Advertising
Advertising; !s what nothing wa3
ever sold without'.
If a loaf of bread is sold to a
tramp who managed to glom onto
a iltney, it had been advertised by
the tramp's hunger and by some
body who told the bo where the '
bakery wb.
Or by the window of the bakery
itself.
There isn't a human being who
doesn't believe in advertising.
It he really doesn't, be had better
commit suicide.
And that will give him a lot of
publicity that nobody can cash In
on.
The man who claims not to be
lieve in advertising is a well, let
Roosevelt say it.
This boob is anxious for every
body to tell other people that his
place is a good one to trade.
But he won't give the advertloer
anything for telling the other folks.
He is a somothing-for-nothlag
tightwad.
The man who puts on good
clothes advertises his own respecta
bility, and expects results in the
shape of the recpect of others.
The man who dressea poorly be
cause of necessity or purposely, ad
vcrtlses his poverty and expects re
aults in other people's help or con.

The doctor clalma it la unethical
to advertise, but he wants tho news

advertising.
Only dishonest people are afraid of
It, and they get it anyway.
Mathematically Speaking
"I note that couples with chil
dren are seldom divorced."
"Yes. If they've multiplied any,
they divide less easily."
