Building and Loan as an
Investment Not Understood
The owners of the David Rogers
estate ' near Cullowhee', iVsiring ito
sell their holdings consisting of 900
acres at public auction, advertised for ,
bids. Auction companies from Cana
da to Florida submitted bids. When
the kids were opened Monday it was
found that a local firm, the Home
Realty & Auction Company, were the
successful bidders. This large tract
of land will be divided into small
farms and placed on sale early in No
vember. The Home Realty & Auc
tion Company, organized some months
ago, has made remarkable successes
of all sales that it, has conducted to
date. No doubt the coming auction
will add another success. -

ably 80 per cent are either borrowrs

for the purpose of paying for homes.
It is evident therefore that the buil

Carolina so far have failed to prop
erly inform the public at large of the
solendid a
loan stock as a medium for the in
vestment of the savings of the people.
No group of financial institutions in

in these associations 'last year was

"North Carolina is particularly for
tunate in he supply of grapes," says
Prof. C. D. Matthews, head of the
department of horticulture at State
College: "There are th spicy little
Delawares, Niagaras, Concords, and
a number of other varieties. Right
now we are enjoying varieties of the
native muscadine type, such as the
Scuppornong, James, ' iMish and
Thomas.
"The grape is also a wonderful little
storehouse of valuable food elements.
Raisins are famous for their iron, but
this element is much more , palatable
and present in as great quantity in
th grape. Grape sugar, which is one
of the chief factors in the fine flavor
of grapes, is the most readily digested
of alt forms of sugar. While iiw the
United State grapes are usually con
sidered as a dessert fruit, in the Latin
countries, particularly. Italy, they are

Mr. Price is enthusiastic over the
prospects for better conditions in' all
classes in North Carolina, and in his
work on the wage commission has
come into contact wittj information
that makes his advice particularly
valuable under the present situation.
"The man who works for wages in
rarely accorded and attention" Mr.
Price continued, "and now that he is
going to have money, he may find
himself the object of flattering at
tentions from persons who are at
tracted by his evidence of prosperity.
Instead of immediately buying a lot
of goods or property that he cannot
arrange to pay for, hr- should invest
his money where 't will be available
should his ability to continue paying
at the same rate cease temporarily."
