In another column will be found the directors' report for the fiscal year end ing February 28th, 1897, of the above named association. For the benefit of the readers we give herewith a condensed rert from the president's annual statement. This in stitution has been in existence now nearly three years, and although no special efforts have been made, a steady and permanent growth is shown. As a means of accumulating small savings, and keeping the same at a good rate of interest, the association is unsurpassed, and deserves tlio cordial support of all residents in preference to an institution outside of the city or state. Besides the advantage of keeping your money at home you have the satisfaction of know ing on what security it is loaned, and can investigate the affairs of the associ ation at any time, also having a voice in its management. The following facts show the association to be in a very satisfactory condition. The net profit for the year ending February 28th, 1897, was $508.48, which has been distributed pro rata to each series. After this dis tribution the amount to the credit of the different series was as follows: Series No. 1, $4474.90. " " 2, 800.80. " " 3, 946.17. Series .No. 1 had 215 shares in force and the book value of each share was $20.81. Series No. 2 had 60 shares in foree, and the book value of each share was $14.45. Series No. 3 had 128 shares in force and the book value of each share was $7.19. The total amount paid in on each share,except the entrance fee, has earned during the past year a fraction over 0 per cent per annum. One decided advantage this institution has over out side associations is the economical man ner in which its affairs are conducted. The expense of running the association during the past has only been $143, a fraction less than 8 cents per Bhare per month, a much smaller amount than is Usually required to run, institutions of this kind. The association now has loaned on first mortgages on approved local prop erty the sum of $5930 and has .cash on hand amounting to $560.02. .As, the association can grow very niiich larger without the expenses of running same increasing materially, the profits will continue to grow. The directors chosen at the annual corporate meeting held March 20th, are Geo. A. Harding, W. A. Huntley, W. P. Hawley, 'Rudolph Koerner, Geo. Broughton, L. L. Porter, J. P. Logan, E. E. Charm&n and E. G. Oaufield, all well-known business men and citizens in whom all have confi dence. Sugab Beet Seed.
