New Bern, oct. 20.-Althougk the
farmers in this section are being urg-

the farmers at the first Of the season

ST. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 21.-The sub
committee Of the National Monetery
Commission hello two sessions here
today. James j. Hill, chairman Of
the board of directors of the Great
Northern Railway differed with the
commission on the turning of the
surplus over to the government. In
stead Of limiting the surplus to 30
per cent. he was in favor of allowing
the surplus to accumulate, up to Isl
per cent. The increased surplus, he
said, would afford the people cheap
clothes and cheap food.
Mr.. Hill thought hat the proposed
system has plenty of safeguards to
keep it from becoming a competitor
with the banks, a thing, he said,
which broke the National bank.
Mr.. Hill favored Chicago as the To-
cation of the mead Of the association,
because of its central location.
