AN OPEN LETTER TO 1 HYPERMETROPES THE PAR SIGHTED. . Your, trouble, friend, known as liypormetropia, is also called far sight or over sight; not because you can see farther or better than one with a normal eye, but because the focal point of your eye is adjusted to a point abnormally distant.

ASSETS $840,000.00 To Prospective Building & Loan, Borrowers; ' Non-resident Building & Loan Companies are adver tising the fact that they havrt reduced the monthly payments of borrowers to 31.10 per month on each $100.00 borrowed, making the monthly payment the same as the Mutual Build ing & Loan Association of North Platte. They fail to state that of the $1.10 paid to the non-resident company, there is ohly thirty-five cents credited as a principal payment, the balance seventy-five cents being taken for interest. Of the 81. j0 monthly payment to this association on each 100.00 borrowed sixty cents is for interest and fifty cents is credited as a principal! payment. , This 'difference in the amount credited the borrower will result in the borrower in the non-resident company be ing compelled to pay not less than $25.00 more'on each $100.00 borrowed in order to discharge the debt than they would if they were doing the business with this Association. .
