West in South Rend, and will thus be better and more desirable cltlzlzenn. 'The corporation, as now planned, will have a capital of 13,000.000. Thin money wilj be used in the building of houses. The plan, however, Is to loan the money to the workman, so that when he pay It back, In monthly payments much as he would pay rent he will have his own horn?. Committee Idea. "Practically every workman has saved some money. The idea of the committee now at work on the housing problem is this: The workman, with whatever money he has saved, will buy a lot and build his home. Of course, he. won't have enough money, so he will so to a bank, where, on the ecurity of the land and house, he can borrow a certain sum. However, the total of what he has saved and what he can borrow will in most cases not be sucient, because no bank will loan up to the full value of the property. That Is where the housing corporation will, come in. "This corporation will take a sort of second mortgage on the property, furnishing enough money to make it possible for the workmen, with what he has and what he has borrowed, to build his home. Precedence In the matter of payment will be given to the second mortgage, because the money, returned to the housing corporation, can be Immediately utilized in the building of still other buildings, or can be used In the withdrawal of stock. "The corporation to be formed will not be designed for profit. However, a f.iir return to the investor will be provided probably six percent. In order to protect the investor, there will be a margin of safety, much as in an insurance organization. You know an insurance company makes you pay, say, $ 20 a thousand for your insurance, knowing that the real cost will be f 17 or $18. Then at the end of the year they return that margin, whatever it may provo to be, in the form of a dividend. "The housing corporation plan ia the same. A sufficient return to amply protect the investor will be required; if there Is too much money in the treasury, a portion of it will be paid back to the men who build their homes, and who borrowed tho money which brought in the interest, llurcuu of Information. "Besides this feature of the corporation, there will be a bureau of information for the benefit of those who have sufficient funds to build their homes without the aid of money borrowed on a second mortgage, but who do not know Just how to go about it. Thus widows who have life insurance money which they want to invest, and workmen who have enough money saved up, will be persuaded to build homes, whereas without the help which will le furnished they would very likely not do so. "Th. big problem now is to get a man who is capable to act as executive for such an organization. Such a man will be hard to get; he will cost at least $10,00 a year. While we are looking for him, we are not wasting time, but are getting detailed information from every possible source: from tho government, and from other cities which have experienced booms similar to the one we expect. "We want to build, not houses, but homes. Unless we see that the proper care is taken, we are going to have difficulty. We want living conditions- in South Rend to be of the best, because contented r.nd efficient workmen can exist only where good living conditions are found. Mercliants Mut Help.

Old Man Dollar Redeems Himself to Shoppers

"Old Man Dollar'' redeemed himself Thursday in the eyes of the public when, through the aid of the merchants of the city, he proved that he waa worth "considerable." This was due to the fact that South Bend's retailers celebrated Dollar day along with Interurban day which necessarily carried wonderful bargains for the public. Throughout the past year or more people have looked at the dollar as being but a small piece of paper when entering a store and usually had to have a number of them before realizing any returns. Thursday their opinions were reversed and they found that the old green was again worth par and better. Refore the merchants opened their doors crowds were In front of nearly every store, each person endeavoring to get into the store first to Ket the first bargam. The traffic police found plenty to do on the sidewalks trying to mako well as the manufacturers, to get be hind this movement. Every one mus cooperate, because we want not only a bigger South Bend but a better South Bend." Some of the experiences of Flint, Mich., were- related by the speaker. He told how, due to the lack of cooperation and lack of facilities, It wan necessary for many hundreds of men to live in tents during a whole winter, pending the erection of houses. "This made it necessary for the factories to pay higher wages," he explained, "and Instead of being a benefit, it was a loss, because the men had to pay considerably nlgher rates for places to live.'" ASK INCORPORATION OF A NEW BANK HERE Incorporation papers for a new bank in South Bend were filed Tuesday at Indianapolis, it was learned here today. The bank will be located on S. Michigan St., it is said, probably somewhere in the business settlement near Sample st. The bank is to be called the South Bend State bank, and will be incorporated for $50,000. It will begin operations as soon as the state grant3 the necessary charter. The movers in tho new organization include J. E. Neff, G. A. Farabaugh, Warde Lv Mack, Gus Haslanger, J. E. McEndarfer, Dick Johnson and Jacob Hoffman. FA GAfJiZA PLANS STOCK ISSU Successful Fair This Year Will Mean Dividends, is Belief. Issue of additional stock as a means of clearing up the debts of the St. Joseph County Fair and Amusement Co. will be discussed at a meeting of stock holders to be held Friday evening. Feb. 21, at the Chamber of Commerce building, it was announced by John S. Bordner, president of the company, today. The creditors of the company, it is said, have agreed to take a considerable portion of the amounts due them in stock, and it is believed that the fair this year will earn sufficient money to make a dividend possible, say the officers of the company. Walter W. Lindley, the new secretary, will be present at the meeting, and will outline his plans for conducting the 1919 fair. Mr. Lindley. it is pointed out, has had 20 years' experience in the operation of fairs. It those who know his plans say they promise well for the future. SOUTH BEND IN 1920 IS SPEAKER'S SUBJECT -South Bend As She Will Be In 1920" will be the subject used by Uev. Imhoff, pastor of the First Christian church Thursday evening at the regular meeting of the Laurel Community center to be held at Laurel school.

It possible for people to pass up and down the thoroughfares. That the merchants sold as advertised was plainly seen by the number of bundles carried by each individual as they left the stores for the street. Rut they did not stay long on the walks but soon entered another "Dollar day" store and examined its wäre.. Interurban people not only found bargains in the merchantile line but were surprised in entering the many restaurants to find that they too were in the ring and were serving meals at .he rate of two or three for a dollar. Ftreet car service was doubled .in a .lumber of the lines of the company which carried the shoppers with their full pocketbooks to the certer of the city and returned them to their respective dwellings with empty pocketbooks but with their arms filled with bundles of all sizes and shapes ranging from parcels the size of a ring box up to what was apparently bed comforters.

; POLICE AID IN E S End of War Causes Practically No Industrial Slump in South Bend. Assistance of the police department in aiding the bureau for returning soldiers in finding employment for the soldiers of the county upon their arrival home has been asked by the bureau, and the assistance is being given. Patrolmen on the various beats through the industrial sections of the city are leaving blanks with the smaller factories with the request that whenever these industries are in need of men, they fill out the blanks and return them to the patrolmen, and they in turn take them to the bureau. These blanks concern the need for the return of former employes who have been discharged from the army. By means of these cards, the bureau can keep in closer touch with the industries having places for the returning soldiers of the county as well as finding employment for other men seeking it. That the close of the war has not caused any material slump in the industrial life- of St. Joseph county is shown by the records at the United States government employment agency on N. Main st. For the week ending Dec. 31, 1918, at a time when all the Industries in South Bend and Mishawaka who had war contracts were working at full capacity there were 15,9 4 9 persons employed in the 16 largest factories of the two cities. At the close of the week last Saturday, at a time when all factories had discontinued work on war contracts and had returned to the regular put of their products, these same 16 factories had in their employ 15,667 persons, showing a decrease in the number of persons employed of only 2S7 persons. The bureau I aiding materially in replacing returned soldiers in their former positions when the soldiers desire their old Jobs back, and In finding new ones for them when thii is wanted by the men.

10 ' MEASURE

PHILS III SEITE Sen. M'Cray Says He Will Bring Bill Up Again For Consideration. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Feb. 20. The Sunday "movie" bill failed to pass the senate yesterday by a vote of 15 to 22. It lacked the constitutional majority of 26 votes and may be called on passage again at any time during the session. Sen. McCray, sponsor of the bill, said last night that he will call for It again "as soon as there is a quorum." Two hours of oratory preceded the vote. The galleries and corrlj dors surrounding the chamber pro per were crowded. Sen. Ratts, who was In his seat during the debate was not present when the vote was taken. Several other senators, among them McCullough and Masters were also absent and they were brought to the chamber by the sergeant-at-arms. Cravens and Alldredge were out of the city. Those voting against the bill were Senators Bainum, Bracken, Dorrell, Douglass, Duffy, Duncan, Eisner. Hudglns, Humphreys, James, KIper, Kline, McConaha, McCollough, McKinley, Maler, Masters, Meeker, Signs, Southworth and Tague. The bill would legalize Sunday motion picture shows after 1:30 o'clock and would leave if; optional with communities as to whether they shall permit the shows to open. It provides that shows shall not be opened in eitle where, they are not now operating without consent of, the mayor and the city governing body. The pictures would be "moral and either historical. educational or amusing." McCray Opens Argument. Opening argument Tor the bill. McCray said it was purely a question of local self government. Aside from that reason for wanting the bill to become a law, McCray said he thought certain classes of men should have a place of amusement in the absence of the saloon, which he characterized as the former club house for one-third of Indiana's adult population. He added that no one has suggested a substitute for this kind of a "club house, the existence of which I fought during the last forty years." Continuing, he said: "A lone opposing minister at a public hearing on this bill declared he represented the 'cream of the earth.' I am here now, gentlemen. to assert that I represent the salt of the earth which never sours and never curdles." Sen. Edgar Metzger of Logansport, delivered his maiden address of the session in support of the bill. He told of the wave of morality and said that there was bound- to be a reaction. "Consider any movie star in one of the harmless plays," Metzger raid. "Does this present to you a worse spectacle than to see a crowd of youngsters behind your cards at pinochle game at your club on Sunday?" Following a short speech by Sen. James in opposition to the bill, an attempt was made to place the measure on passage immediately but Lieut. Gov. Bush refused to throttle discussion. FARMERS WANT TO KEEP DAYLIGHT LAW Bt United Press: 'WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. Protest against bills to repeal the daylight saving law are reaching congress today.

STOCKS ACTIVE AT HIGHER PRICES Studebaker Common Exhibits More Strength, Ruling Strong All Day. NEW YORK. Feb. 2 0. Stock market very active and generally higher all around many issues making new high prices on present movement but a little profit taking in last hour caused a slight reaction. Studebaker common exhibited more strength than for some days past recovering its dividend at the opening and ruling strong throughout the day. Pan-American Petroleum advanced $3 per share and held its advance. The situation appears to warrant higher prices as bullish sentiment predominates at the moment but we believe advantage should be taken of strong spots to obtain profits, and making purchases only on the setbacks, as technical position of the market is not helped any by the advance. Call money ruled stronger at 5 1-2 percent. South Bend Markets GRAIN AND FKET. (Corrected Dally by O. . Uorrn, 5tr Milts. Iijrtr.ull- At.) OATS Paying 45c, Helling (Vk- per tu.

Decision of the allies to take three million pounds of American butter after they had decided to buy somewhere else today was ascribed as the cause for a jump in price of butter here of 16 cents a pound In less than a week. Other factors which wholesale dealers f ay cause soaring prices, arc higher prices for milk and lifting of food administration restrictions. "Stimulated buying followed almost immediately the lowered price of butter from 68 to 40 cents a pound, "wholesale, according to S. E. Davis, former president of the Chicago butter and egg board. "When the grocers again stocked up th price went to 53 cents. And an extra tub or so of butter bought by every grocer in the country soon runs Into enormous figures." The general opinion of butter men, Davis said, was that the market took too sudden a drop in the first places Considering the cost of beef and milk, 4 0 to 52 cents represents a healthy price for butter, Davis said be believed.
