moving from one place to another in
the hope of lettering themselves, it is
interesting to read Of an aged woman
who died in a New England town in
the same house and in the same room
in which she was born. For the better
part of a century she had been active
in the kindly Christian work of the vii
lage, and had come to be looked upon
as one of it's Institutions. Families
which have an old homestead that has
been in the family for generation after
more than dollars and cents, as every

INCREASE CIRCULATION
SECRETARY SHAW HAS PLAN FOR
ELASTIC CURRENCY.
WILL GIVE II A TRIAL
Securities to Take Place Of Bonds, on
Which National Banks Can Issue
Circulation.

New York-Secretary of the Treas
ury Shaw announces that he will slim
ulate national bank circulation to the
extent of SIS. 00u,0 900 by accepting ap-
proved securities other than govern
ment bonds for deposits already made,
the bonds released to be used imme-
diately as a basis of circulation with
out withdrawal from the treasury. He
does not object to the assignment of
the bonds to other banks than those
now holding them, but to insure their
use they must remain in the treasury,
and in addition, the bank taking out
the circulation must agree to retire
the same between the 18th day of
March and the 10th day of August
1907. The banks will be required,
when taking out their circulation, to
make application for its retirement,
and the order or per cent of retire
ment from month to month will be
determined by the treasury depart
ment.
In this way SIS 5000, 900 additional
circulation can be Immediately issued
and gradually retired during the
spring and summer months. In this
was also Secretary Shaw expects to
demonstrate, in, limited form, the
benefits of an elastic currency.
No More Deposits.
The secretary authorizes the an
nouncement that deposits to facili
tate gold i~mportations will be discon
tinued. He said in connection witt
the announcement that im%portationi
had exceeded his expectations, ant
he believed for the present America
had quite its share, and he had NJ
disposition to disturb conditions il
Europe by a continuation of that meth
cd of relief.
