Rowlajr, Special Agent of the Equitable Saving« and 1-oan A«.'n m rkii known «orne interetting fact« pertaining to the inventing of money. On Monday night o f this week the bid city council met for the last time But few people realize the difference (■«tween th« Kental power end the Earning power o f their money. Some are r mtented with a »mall rent for the u»e o f their money, while others not content with a reasonable rent for the «time. Invest 11 themselves I n some highly »perulative investment and they thereby not knowingly overwork their capital. The Earning power o f money is best known by t h e real financiers, they study this all important question and they are thereby best qualified to know, as this knowledge comes only by years o f careful study and experience. There is a common fallacy that while for legal advice we go to lawyers and for medicai advice we go to physicians, and for the construction of great works to engineers —financing is everybody’s business. As a matter o f fact it is the most profound and complicated o f them all. Just now a revolution in the financial world is going on to the profit o f the rareful investor and now is tho time to act, start at once, take one o f our sav- lugs certificates, rompcl yourself to save just so much Just so often you will profit by doing this and will soon begin to realize as hundreds have al ready realized that the difference be tween the rental power and the earn ing power ot your money means a com- pot«ncy for life. We have over $3,000,000 in assets.

BUY EARLY MOVE MENT IS NOW ON The Eastern states have started a movement called the “ Buy it Now” movement. It is said that if all per sons, especially those in tjie agricultur al communities, will buy their necess aries, tools, implements etc. now it will start the spring trade up with a rush a n d everything will be fairly humming by tbe first ot May. With May wheat at better than $1.30 the proposition has something more than hot air back o f it, for no doubt the wheat acreage wiil be greatly en larged this year, and manv more im plements will be demanded oy t h e growers. Also there will be a greater call for help from the wheat areas, which will improve business to no small extent. The automobile companies are pre paring for the biggest year’s business m their history; the lumber trade is looking brighter every day and the prospects are encouraging for a year ot unprecedented industry everywhere. In the meantime the careful buyer will scan the markets and newspapers for bargains in what he wants, and the farmer o f the Santiam valley should not overlook the f»ct that the Deidrich Hardware store o f this city has put on a bargain sale o f just such things as he needs. Better cat! in and look them over before the other fellow beats you to it. FIRE RELIEF ASS’N HAS GOOD YEAR (Special to the Mail) On January 2, the Firmer« Fire Re lief Association o f Sublimity Oregon, held their 18th annual meeting at Sub limity. The meeting was well attend ed and all of the members took an ac tive interest in its proceedings. The Sec-Treas. report showed that there were more policies for insurance issued during the laat year than in any year previous. Theie were 63 policies issued, insur ing 82 buildings and contents for :h amount o f $61.460, and December 1, 1914 there were 434 policies in force ■ suring 702 buildings and contents for $303,774. The Treasurer’ s report showed that January 1, 1914 there was in the Tr<. urers hands $473 57. Received during the year $92.40. Fire loss during the year, only $3.50. Total salary and in cidental expenses, $201.26, leaving $355.72, Cash on hand. During the last 19 years the average cost for fire loss and expenae amounts to $1.50 per $1000 per year. This low cost is principally attributed to having their own directors as solici tors, thereby preventing hazardous and over insurance risks. There were provisions made to have ample reserve funds in the future, so as to pay all claims promptly on de mand. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year; F .A . Bell Presi dent, Sublimity; Chas. Hottinger Sec- Treas, Sublimity; Directors— W. H. Downing, Shaw; B. Minton, Seio; P. C. Freres, Klumb; Henry Steinkamp, Aumsville; John Bender, Jordan. WHO KNOWS OF A CRIPPLED CHILD. Countv Superintendent W. M. Smith has received an appeal from the Ore gon S t a t e Federation o f Women’s Clubs, asking him to tell their hospital committee about anv crippled children in thia county who could be sided by a state-wide organization to furnish free medical treatment o f the most modern scientific kind in all cases where tbe family income is not sufficient for ex pensive consultation with specialists. The Federation, which includes a hundred women’s clubs in ail parts o f tbe state, asks anyone who knows o f a little victim o f an accident, o f spinal meningitis, o f infantile paralysis, o f tuberculosis in the bones or joints, or any other crippling cause, to write the details o f the case to Mrs. Millie R. Trumbull, Secretary Child Welfare Commission 250$ Third Street, Port land, Oregon. The club women maintain that the? ■ little cripples, besides being the moat pitiful o f ail cases o f helplessness, and besides being entirely without organiz cd assistance in contrast with t h e great state institutions which care for the deaf, the blind, the feeble-minded and even the delinquent, are also the most curable if treated m time, and the most able when so treated to make good, strong, useful citizers instead o f Dr. Beauchamp reports a boy born to ■ charges on public charity all their lives.
