No other caime nf death Ih mount Ins with comparable rapidity. Hinre very few persons under 40 yearn of ae die wilh heart disease, and since both the heavy death rates and the lai'Ker populations are In tho younger years, the heavy heart disease rate means that the chunce is very ureal that any man over 40 Ti'ill puss nway from this disease 'Important nnmnK the cuuses vt heart trouble are the after-effects of the Infectious diseases. Most of the pround-woik for heart disease is laid down in- rniidhood, und in our efforts at prevention we must enncentrate on the children of school nt;e and rujiicI jiffuinsl the more common Infectious dinenses. When younsr adults are system atleully examined, as Is now done nn entrance tit college, it Is found that u largo proportion have heart murmurs.

Later In the Plant and the giant types produce icwer now ers man the smaller sorts. The trend toward smaller flow ers Ih due to tho spread of rock gardening and thin has brought back the smaller pansies and their relatives, the violets, from many lands. The pansy, bidanically, is the trlcolured violet. Pansies of any type, giant or tiny, are easily raised from seed and the smallest garden may have a liberal supply at small cost and little labor. The chief factor of importance Is the seed. He an re to buy a good strain from a reliable seed house. A wide variety nf strains and a wide selec tion of colors are offered. The bedding or. tufted pansies, I naruter anil stunner than the giant , pansies and with much greater' freedom of bloom and a longer season, long popular with foreign gardeners, me m.iklmr their way rapidly In American gardens.

It in u uiUuka to uliiiit lhi-m Here's What The Better Business Bureau Says Ab o u t Inves tments .; I - .- . ; . - - ' ' The following report was made by the Better Busi ness Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce and a spe cial investigating committee at the regular forum luncheon of the Chamber Tuesday noon: Itl J'OItT OP IHiTTKU nrsrxroiK ui'ickai: Three Reasons Why Outside Investments Are Not Approved This committee finds that there are practically no outside I uveal -luentM offered to the people of this community on a monthly paymcut basis that is fuvorahle to- the In vestor. We find that these out Hlde Investments aro unfavorable In three main aspects: First, they charge a member ship fee which goes to tho sales man as Ills commission and the expenses of the sale. organization. Second, many contracts provide for fines and forfeitures in case of niispaymcntH und oilier breaches or l be contract conditions that re sult In loss of Interest und the loss or nil or part of the principal paid. In many contracts the entire prin cipal Is lost unless you make as high as two years payments. Tli tnl, these con tracts are un ravorahlc because, the money in i vested In them Ih not available to the Investor on short notice und b cannot withdraw his money in most Instances before the contract is completed without losing much of tho Interest and often a portion of (he principal. Severe Contract Conditions Cause Loss to the Investor This committee Investigated sev eral contracts and quote from inn Installment bond n.s an example. In this bond it nay that there will be no loan or cash value until it has been in forco two years. In n not lifer, a building and loan certl llcato,. the contract providea that there will be no loan or cash value null) this certificate has been in force eighteen months, nor shall It participate in any of the earnings of the company during suspension It also states that when payments have been missed for six months (he stock shall be declared for feited and revert to the company; another contract states that alter the stock Iiuh been In force for one year the holder will receive one half of the Interest, und after It has been in force for two years hn shall receive at least seventy-five . per cent of the Interest. This means that he will never get more than three-fourths, of his interest unless the certificate Is matured. In this particular certificate the term Is one hundred fourteen months. The rate of Interest Ih 4 . In practically all cases there is a membership fee which is for relted or lost to the investor In case of a withdrawal. On another con tract which wo have examined we find that the investor Ih not only charged with the membership fee hut also with nn expense fund. The membership fee, expense fund und loss nf Interest amounted to $1)9. Mi nn nn Investment of $.riflO over n period of four years and two months. One-fifth of Your Investment N Ixwt Forever Fro pi these various provisions In the contracts of outside Investment cnmp,-in!esl( is obvious to this com lultteo that the conditions re un favorable to tho local Investor and entirely to the advnntnge of tho Investment company. in no In stance do we uucHtlou the sound flnnnclnl standing- of these outside companies, bitf it Is our opinion that ut least one -fifth of the ' amount Invested by local people In these companies and associations Ik never returned to them'but Is re tained In the form of membership fe-es and forfeitures. It Is there fore the unanimous opinion of this committee that this Is a direct and j dangerous loss to this community and that the Chamber of Com merce nnd other organizations in ( terested in the comiiiunlly welfare , should cooperate in curtailing In ' vestments of this character. The committee wishes to make , It plain that these unsatisfactory conditions are due to the fact that an estimated nine out of every ten Investors fall to complete their in-' vestment en n t met : i n most en sen due to conditions they could not foresee at the time of purchase- Kecomiiiend Local Building and Ixtan as Sound Investment t Taking up the subject of tho l.a flrande Hullding & Loan associa tion, this committee wishes to re port that It hn investigated Hie ( books and financial condition- or (he local company and their meth od or operation in considerable de tail, and finds that It offers a type or Investment that is thoroughly sound am) that can readily be rec ommended lo the people or this community. The committee nlso makes the following findings with reference to the Ln Grande Huilding fc Lotny association: (1) That It has no membership fees, levies no fines and can mala no forfeitures: that every dollar Invested In It always belongs to the Investor. (2) That a guaranteed dividend of six per cent, paid or com pounded semi-annually, is guaran teed on every dollar invested if left with the nssoc.tat ion for one year or more. Investment Is Ideally Secured by Real Estate First Mortgage -i ) That t he money th us In -vested Is loaned on improved real estate not in excess of fifty per cent of its value, and Is secured by a first mortgage on said real estate, wlih the additional protec tion of a rire insurance policy; that fWse loans arc made at an interest rate of SJ per cent, with pay ments made monthly, thereby re ducing the loan and increasing Iho ( l That the operating expense, which consists at the present time of n secretary's salary and low of fice overhead, is made up by tho difference between the amount paid investors and the nmount for which the money is loaned. i That t: e local Huilding e Loan is under the supervision of the corporation commissioner of the statn of Oregon: that lis se curities are deposited with tho v state a.s provided by law: that its manager and secretary are bonded as provided by Inw. Absolute Safety Is Assured by Oregon State Law (C) That there has never been a building and loan failure In the state of Oregon; and that there can never he a "run" on a building and loan due to the provision In the state law that withdrawals cannot be made in excess of one-half of . the amount paid In, In any one month without the consent of the board of directors; that the- hoard of directors has full supervision of the affairs of the. association and the manager Is employed and 'works under their direction; that the officers und directors are as follows: , A. 1.. Richardson, president, H. K. , Coo I Id ge, vice president, J. J. Carr, vice president & man ager. II. M. Hay, secretary -treasurer, A. T. Dill . . 4 i. F. F. Kiddle Wm. Siegrlsl J. F. Phy Audrncr Playle U. 11. Huron Julius Kocsch. (7) That Hie withdrawals from the l.a Crande Huilding & Loan association can be made at any time after one year, or at any earlier time where the circum stances can secure the approval of the board of directors. Outside Installment Investments Detrimental to Community - (S) That the capital slock is four times that required by law in this state, hip; that a larger capi tal stock should be available to permit the more rapid growth of this association and the education of the people of tills community in Investing their money nt home; that (he present capltnl stock, sub- scribed by some twenty men in ad dition lo the men on this hoard of ' directors, now amounts to approxi mately $l!),000; that additional capital stock to provide additional operating funds is advisable if this community is to receive the Imme diate and profitable returns that, this locnl investment company of fers. ( That it Is the unanimous opinion or the Hetter UiuHnesa Hureau nnd of this special com mittee of the Chamber of Com merce that there are local Invest ments far superior to any outside Installment investments; that the purchase of these outside invest ments by local people is not only detrimental to their individual in terests but nlso to (be interest of the entire community, , nnd that every effort should be made by all , eltUens to stop this loss and to' keep Jji Grande investments at home.
