THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
BUILDING AND LOAN PROGRESS
WlnstonSalem Journal.
One of the amazing developments
our time and one of the most helpful
and encouraging, is the progress made
by Building and Loan Associations.
In North Carolina they showed a gain
last year of fourteen million dollars
in assets. They loaned twenty mil- 1
lion dollars to build eight thousand *
homes to house forty thousand peo
ple.
In the past five years the Building
and Loan Associations show a gain in
assets from twenty-nine to seventy i
million dollars. We agree with J. F.
Stevens, president of the North Caro
lina Building and Loan League, that
"this is a splendid record, and one
in which we should feel much pride.”
However, as Mr. Stevens points out,
when we compare North Carolina
with other States in this particular,
we find she falls far short of the po
sition she should occupy. We find
there are fifteen other States with a i
greater investment in building and
loan stock. Twelve of these show a
greater gain in assets in 1924. and
three States eaeh show a gain great
er than the total investment in build
ing and loan in North Carol'na. We
find also that twenty States have a
larger investment per eapita than
docs North Carolina, and the per cap
ita nvestment of ten of these is more
than double that of North Carolina,
j Gs tlie more than two and a half
mUlion-.populat.ion in this State only
?W t 474 of this number were patrons
great agencies of thrift and
Ihoifie lyilding. Os this number prob-.
aM#' 'SO' per cent, are ejtlter borrow
jers or anticipate borrowing in future
for the purpose of paying for homes.
'•lt. is evident,” says Mr. Stevens,
‘t’hnt the building and loan associa
tions in North Carolina so far have
failed to properly inform the public
at large of the splendid advantages of
building and loan stock as a medium
for the investment of the savings of
the people.
‘‘No group of financial institutions
in the state can boast of a cleaner
record of stability than can our build
ing and loan associations, and the
average interest yield on money in
vested in these associations last year
was .05928, or nearly 6 per cent. Yet
millions of dollars went out of the
State in various forms of securities,
paying not any better return, and no
doubt many of them of doubtful val
ue.
‘‘lt is safe to assume that 90 per
cent, of our people do not understand
the functions of these institutions,
and this can he overcome only by con
centrated effort and judicious adver
tising on the part of the building and
loan associations.”
UNABLE TO SLEEP

Had Bad Case of Stomach Trouble;
AUo Suffered With Nervousnesa and
Constipation.—Says HERB JUICE
Gave Relief.
. “I never dreamed that any medicine
could do as much for a person ns
HERB JUICE has for me. It is the
most wonderful remedy I have used
and worthy of the highest praise,”
said Mr. W. J. Smith, well-known car
penter who resides at 108 Clark street.
Concord, N. C., in a recent statement
to the HERB JUICE man.
’§ tH S jm j Hv 1
W. J. SMITH
“My nerves were at the breaking
point,” continued Mr. Smith, “when I
began using HERB JUICE. I had
suffered so much with stomach trouble
without getting any relief to speak of
from other medicines that I had used.
I bad about despaired of ever finding
anything that would bffng me relief.
When tlie HERB JUICE representa
tive offered free bottles to sufferers of
stomach trouble I got a bottle and I
will always be thankful for having
started using this medicine. It im
mediately proved the most satisfac
tory and beneficial remedy I have ev
er used for stomach trouble. The gas
constant worry for years had about
pains and bloating spells that were
ruined health. I was so nervous at
night that to get a good night's sleep
was out of the question. Everything
I ate would hurt me immediately af
terwards. In addition to -this I was
sluggish, this caused me to have bil
bndly constipated, my liver was very
ious and dizzy attacks and really I
was in a very weak condition, but the
first bottle of HERB JUICE made a
wonderful change in my condition and
after taking several bottles I have
been relieved of all these troubles,
and I know that I owe all this to
this great medicine HERB JUICE.
Today my improved condition speaks
for itself. I can eat anything, at any
time and the good part about it is I
can digest it and do not suffer any
after effects. Since I have taken
HERB JUICE, I am much stronger
and feel better in every way than I
have in many years. I have also
found HERB JUICE to be a wonder
ful laxative and through its mild and
natural action my bowel* and liver
systeip cleansed of all impurities. I
have been regulated and my entire
can truthfully say that I feel 100 per
cen t.improved in every way and I
know thia is due to the use of HERB
JUICE."

Ford Sees Combined Plane and
Dirigible as Aircraft of Future
' BT NBA SERVICE
Dearborn, Mich., Sept. 22.—Henry
Ford believes tlie aircraft of the fu
ture will be a combination of the dir
igible and the airplane.
‘‘A combination of the types prob
ably will fly better than either type
alone,” says the automobile manufac
| tnrer, whose factories and engineers
are now aiding in the development of
aviation research and commercial
' flying.
Might Avert Disasters.
If a combined dirigible and airplane
had been developed both of the recent
naval air disasters might have been
averted, experts say.
They point out that the greatly in
creased pressure in the helium bags of
the Shenandoah, when the dirigible
was suddenly shot to a higher alti
tude, by a line squall, caused the
framework of the craft to give way.
A dirigible with airplane wings
might have been able to either nose
dive down and prevent the “skyrocket
ing” or if the dirigible part of the
craft had collapsed, the wings might
enable to volplane safely down to the
ground.
If such a craft had been available
for the Hawaiian flight, instead of the*
PN-9 No. 1, the dirigible part of it
would have kept it in the air after
the gas supply was exhausted and it
might have drifted back over one of
the patrol ships. The necessity of
landing in rough sea and the possible
smashing of the plane would have
been averted.
Engine Is Big Trouble.
The Ford Motor Company lias just
gone into both ends of commercial av
iation—operation and manufacture. It
has agreed to carry the airmail for
the government from Chicago to'De
troit. But Henry Ford smiles dryly
at the suggestion that this signifies
complete success for commercial avia
tion is near.
“I wish I could see it," he com
ments.
From the Ford airport at Dear
born, all-metal "sky trucks” daily
sail away to Cleveland and Chicago,
carrying a thousand points of freight.
Ford thinks these are the best air
planes that engineering talent has yet
developed. But he thinks the ma
chines are still crude, costly, ineffi
cient, measured by his vision of what
the sky carrier of the future will be.
“Aviation is in its infancy,” Ford
puts it.
“What’s the trouble with the air
plane?” he is asked.
The Ford Motor Company built
thousands of Liberty motors for the
government during the war. Now it
is buying back these same motors to

install in its own planes.
But whatever happens in aviation,
Henry Ford has no desire to fly.
He has never ridden in an airplane
or airship, and never intends to. de
spite reports that he planned a trip
on the ill-fated Shenandoah when it
soayed over Detroit on its return from
the middle west.
“I can imagine what flying is like
to my personal satisfaction,” says
Ford.
Will Ford Retire?
Henry Ford may administer a
knockout blow to the confidence of his
Ford Motor Company business asso
ciates some of these days.
Ford may retire.
“You never can tell," says Ford.
“Henry Ford retire? Never!" say
the men whose names top the Ford
company’s pay roll.
Edsel Ford is president of the Ford
Motor Company now. Relieved, of
many responsibilities, Henry Ford
gives time and thought to such semi
philathrophy as the revival of old-time
dances.
Will he retire altogether, in his lat
er years, from direction of the Ford
industrial affairs?
“You never can tell,” Ford smiles.
“But do you expect to retire?”
“If I expected to. then I could tell.
I don't expect to, but you never can
tell.”
Talks on Reincarnation.
No retirement by Henry Ford, how
ever—even the final vote —will be for
all time. Ford holds.
He is a believer in reincarnation.
“You believe that Henry Ford will
return to earth, reincarnated, after
death?” he is asked.
Ford gaves out a window, and
drums his fingers on atable top.
“Well, nothing is ever destroyed, is
it?” he responds.
“Do you believe in a Deity?”
“The trouble about discussing those
things is that nobody ever knows just
what he is talking about.”
At 62, with the Ford fortune's chief •
ambition for the Ford Motor Com
pany is—
“To keep it going.”
A friend of Ford, he is reminded,
quotes him as saying, “Our job is to
make work for more people at bet
ter wages.
“It's the same thing,” says Ford.
There are no fine distinctions in the
Ford reasoning.
“Do you get more personal satisfac
tion out of making more jobs for peo
ple, or making more automobiles for
them?” he is asked.
“It’s all the same,” is Ford’s an
swer.

Post and Flagg’s Cotton Letter.
New York, Sept. 22. —If there has
been any liquidation today It has been
very readily absorbed with the tone
generally firm and apparently plenty
wanted at current levels, though there
is no disposition to reach for cotton
or press on advances. The present
feeling regarding the report appears
to be that the ginning figures will
set a new record by a very wide mar
gin and may exert some influence on
tbe figures for the crop expectancy
though some falling off in those is
considered practically certain.

Something under 13.500,000 bales is
considered required to stimulate a de
mand that will follow prices higher
and if ginning* are over four it is
thought doubtful if the crop will be
set as low as that, especially as there
is still a chance that favorable weath
er during October with a late frost
would add something to the crop.
That there has been deterioration
since the last report can hardly b«.
doubted and in some sections it has
been severe so that talk of no more
than 13.000,000 bales is heard in some
quarters where the opinion prevails
that premature opening on a large
scale is u reliable indication of a
short crop.
Any break following the report,
however, will afford a favorable op
portunity for purchases since even if
the figures disappoint the extreme
bulls indications point strongly to a
crop distinctly below the requirements
of the world at existing prices.
