WANT TO FIND
MORE BORROWERS
Building and Loan Associations
Want Law Changed So that
They May Loan More,
TO LOAN TO EACH OTHER
Building and loan associations of
the state have again "outgrown their
- clothes." ' Two years ago the legit
' Inure slightly increased the privileges
of the associations, but on account
of the great prosperity of the state,
the increase in association assets in
that time amounting to $11,000,000,
the associations are obliged to ask the
legislature for a still larger suit
Building and loan associations
of Omaha resources are increasing at
the rate of $3,000,000 a year. After car
ing for demands of small home own
ers at reduced rates of interest, , now
6 per cent per annum, the associations
are still unable to find satisfactory
borrowers for all their funds. With
the average size of the home owner's
loan amounting to, about $1,504 it is
easily seen that it requires a large
. number of loans to make any impres
sion against , the steady inflow of
money; One association of this city
has been seeking an outlet for its ex
cess funds by way of farm loans on a
twenty-year amortization basts. The
only outlet at this time for the as
sociation appears to be by way of
loans on downtown properties where
the amounts usually will run from
$25,000 to $100,000 per loan. The new
interest rate makes it possible for the
associations to interest large prop
erty holders in securing a part of their
loans of the local associations.
On account of these conditions the
State League of ' Local Building and
Loan Association is asking the legis
lature to authorize the larger associa
tions to loan as much as $100,000 to
any one member, provided he can fur
nish satisfactory security byNjvay of
first mortgage on improved real es
tate. This amendment does not au
thorize the smaller associations to
loan more than $5,000, nor does it
permit any association, no matter
what size, to accept more than $5,000
investment money from any one
member, nor does it authorize any
change tn the manner of voting mem
ber's stock, since the state law pro
vides that no member may vote more
than fifty shares as proxy for other
members. ,
To Loan Each Other.
Another amendment asked is one
permitting building and loan associa
tions to loan money to one another,
a practice that is very common and
successful in the' state of Ohio. In
this way an association with an ex
cess of funds may, under proper con
ditions, loan money to smaller asso
ciations in the state where funds are
less plentiful and the demand for
home loans particularly strong.
Other minor amendments aought
are mainly to clarify the present law,
suclKas to define what is the capital
stock of these associations and to
legalize the depositing of money by
these institutions in state and national
banks, ;. x
Wants Police to find Her r f
; ; Hubby fop Baby's Sake
Without funds to support herself
and her 2-montht-old baby, Mrs.
Charles A, Farmer is stranded in
Webb City, Mo, In a pitiful, plea to
the Omaha police she asks, that they
trjr to find her husband and send him
back to her. - .
"I need him. My baby needs him,"
she writes. "He may be in jail or
may be the victim of some other mis
fortune. Please write to me if you
get any trace of him at all."
Mrs. Farmer saya that her husband
sent her to. Webb City March 14 and
promised to join her there within a
short time. He has not even written
to her since, she says, and she and her
baby are destitute. -
River Falls for the
First Time in a Week
The Missouri river at Omaha fell
1.3 of t foot in the twenty-four hours
ending at 7 a. m. Friday. This was
the first day that it showed a fall for
over a week and is due, Colonel
Welsh of the weather bureau says, to
the ice gorge, which is still holding
firm in the river opposite Vermillion,
S, D. The river there curves into
double "S," and above that point the
Missouri and ita tributaries are re
ported to be- full to the limit with
heavy snows ready to add their water
at soon as thawing weather comes.
If much rait should accompany the
breaking of the gorge and thawing of
the snow the situation along the
river would be very serious. ,

the action o the most important func

children are subject it traceable to
bowel inaction, and a mild, depend

Syrup Pepsin, should have a place in
every family medicine chest. It is
pleasant to the taste and children like
it, and take it readily, while it is equal

have, therefore, resolved to organize
as the Jewish League of American
