RESERVE BANK OPENS
Ready for Business at Kansas
City Affairs Progress
Satisfactorily. M

/
of December %, 1918, is of In
terest to all of our people. For
years the great need for an
elastic currency had been felt.
but it was necessary that the
government should provide safe
guard against undue expansion
or contraction.
This was done by the creation
of the Federal Reserve Board
with extensive powers over
banking institutions. The Uni
State has been divided into
into twelve districts, which have
been apportioned with due re-
gard to the convenience and Gus
tomary course of business. In
each of the twelve districts a
federal reserve city has been
designated in which a federal re-
serve bank has been establish
ed.
The federal reserve bank in
each district is composed of the
national banking associations in
the district and is required to
have a capital stock of at least
$4, 600, 600. In case the national
banks in the district fail to take
all of this stock, private indi-
viduals and the United States
may take it, but the stock will
have no voting power. The en-
forcement of the federal reserve
law is entrusted to the Federal
Reserve Board, consisting offive
members appointed by the Pres
ident of the United States, in
addition to the Secretary Of the
Treasury and the Comptroller d
the Currency, who are ex officic
members of the board. The
Board has its office in Washing.
ton, ID. Two members of the
board are required to be expert
enced bankers. Ten years is the
term of office in Washington, D.
G. Two members of the board
are required to be experienced
bankers, Ten years is the term
of office, and every two years
the term of one member expires.
The salary is $12, 600 a year.
Assisting the Federal Reserve
Board is an advisory council,
composed of members selected
by the reserve banks of the
twelve districts.
The activities cf the federal
reserve banks are those Of usual
banking institutions. To give
our currency system elasticity it
has the power to issue federal
reserve bank notes.
1t is only in the discretion of
Federal Reserve Board that the
federal reserve banks may issue
these. They are redeemable in
gold at the United States Treas
ury in the city of Washington D.
&c. For the secuity Of the hold
ers of these notes collateral must
be deposited with the Federal
Reserve agent for the district.
Also. a reserve in gold of forty
per cent must be maintained to
protect the federal reserve notes
outstanding, Provision is made
for the automatic retirement of
these notes.
The federal reserve banks
have authority to issue circula-
ting notes secured BY deposit of
two per cent government bonds.
The financial situation during
the past year or two has been
high strung. and it has been the
part Of wisdom to proceed eau
tiously in adopting the radical
changes brought about BY the.
law. The sudden and unexpect-
ed advent Of the European war,
with its consequent destruction,
of foreign trade and commerce,
has served to place greater
strain upon this country AL

MRS. CHAS. DAVIS
PASSED AWAY

1t is with much regret we chroni-
Gle the death of Mrs. Chas. Davis,
who suddenly passed away Wednes-
day morning at o'clock.
Mrs. Davis has been in ill heath
for more than year and eventually
an operation was considered neces-
sary by the doctor, and an operation
was performed by DR.. Allan of St.
Johnsbury, which to all appearances
seemed successful. Tuesday morn
ing change was noted for the worse,
and she became weaker and weaker
and passed away Wednesday, silent
sufferer, which was characteristic of
her life.
Although not long resident of
this town, as the family only came
here from Rumford, Me-, last sum.
mer, Mrs. Davis through her lovable
qualities became endeared to all
those who had the pleasure in com.
ing in contact with her.
Much sympathy is expressed for
the bereaved family which Consists
of her husband, three daughters.
Sadie, Ruth and Nellie, and two sons,
Phillip of Island Pond, and Raymond
E., professor in Civil Engineering
in the University of Illinois.
Funeral services will be held at
her former home in Westbrooke, Me-,
her remains being taken there Thurs
day morning.
Mr.. Davis is employed as master
mechanic at Windsor Mills, Que,
and though having very few oppor-
tunities of being with his family, we
trust he may still continue to live
among us.

WATERVILLE The
FIRST VICTIM

The local base ball team journeyed
to Wateryille last Saturday to help
the Canadians celebrate Victoria
Day, and they did little celebrating
themselves, winning a rather loose
game by score II too.
Riley and Morse were the battery
for the locals and opposed to them
were the star hockey players, Sprig-
gins and Molineauu. But Spriggins
was as wild as a hawk, a good feat
ure for hockey but poor for baseball,
and he was generous enough to pass
8 men, which, coupled with timely
hitting and Waterville's errors
caused the large score which the
Ponders ran up. Riley, was just the
opposite, cool as ice, allowing but 5
hits and he had his drop working in
fine shape; but for the locals errors
he would have shut them out, not an
earned run being scored. Morse
caught clever game in the absence
of Stevens. -
The fielding features were con-
tributed by Waterville's second base,
man and Monk Danforth. The
former caught liner turning an ap-
parent safe hit into double play
and Danforth, (who for several days
past, has been rubbing his arm with
bear oily, threw out a man from
deep right field, who tried to take a
chance with his wing. Donnelly also
batted the ball hard.
The boys werercyally entertained
at church supper given by the
Episcopal Church. They were the
guests Of the Waterville team.

BRADSTREE'S
VERMONT REPORT

Reports to Bradstreet's for the
week all note labor is we'll employed
and generally the mills are literally
supplied with orders. In the slate
producing sections quarries are now
operating full time and the demand
for slate for all purposes is noted as
the best it has been for five years.
Lumber is moving we'll as is all kinds
of building material. Manufacture
ers of knit goods are operating to
full capacity and one new hosiery
commenced operations during the
past week. Manufacturers of knit :
ting machine supplies report amount
of business now on hand is sufficient
to keep plants fully employed for
several months to come. The de-
mand for collars and cuffs is noted
as a little off from regular buying
for this period. There is noted a
tendency which has prevailed for
some time on the part of the retail
merchant in clothing and dry goods,
to purchase mainly for the present.
Orders for future delivery are re-
ported as confined to necessities and
are small. Garment manufacture
ing plants appear to have plenty of
new business and note fair volume
or trade for immediate delivery. Re-
ports from the agricultural sections
in the northern part of the state
show that but little maple sugar is
changing hands at present although
it is believed there is still considera-
BILE that has not been sold. Some
farmers are holding with the inten-
ton of selling later if possible at a
price which they anticipate will be
aboves the present market price
whichls quoted at around nine cents.
The rains of the week were of such
a nature as to have benefited the
grass crop and the expectations are
for good hay crop. Owners of
fruit trees report the insect pest as
much larger this year than has been
noticed for several years. Some
work has been done to destroy them
but nothing of an apparent system
attic nature has been done. That
this pest will effect the total pro-
duction of fruit trees it is expected
will be more apparent later. Farm
ers, particularly in the southern
part of the state comment on the
drop in the prices received three
months ago. The present price Of
fered is noted as three dollars less
than what has previously been asked
and quickly paid. Retail business
for the week is reported as more or
less uneven. Some report that the
unreasonable weather has affected
trade to some extent, but with gen.
eral hardware trade the demand has
been good.

New York May 29.-(SpeciaI. )-Henry p
Dawson of the firm of j. P. Morgan &
Co. is expected to arrive in New York
in the latter part of next week. He went
TO Europe shortly after the funeral of
Mr.. Morgan and it was the presumption
that the visit to Europe was made neces-
sary by some details respecting the ap-
praisal of Mr.. Morgan's es ate That,
however. was only a presumption. 1t
would be quite as appropriate to infer
that Mr. Dawson went to Europe a few
weeks ago because there were some I'M
portant financing propositions to be con-
sdered possibly in connection with the
proposed unifcation into the New York
Central Railroad company of some of the
railroad systems that company already
controls.
Whatever Mr.. Davison's purpose was
he has been In a position to learn while
in Europe some of the details of the
marketing of the Chinese loan There
seems to be no real regret in the financial
center that by reason of the action of the
new administration at Washington Amer
lean bankers did not participate in this
loan. There are at hand abundant op-
portunities for the utilization of large
amounts of new capital, SO that the
American bankers will find themselves In
possibly better condition to aid in this
financing than they would have if they
had remained in the Chinese loan national
group.
Mr.. Dawson undoubtedly will be able
to tell authoritatively what the imme-
diate effects upon commercial and manu-
featuring interests the marketing of Eng
lands share of the Chinese loan is likely
to produce. This is a matter which is
of special interest to the United States.
1t was for the purpose of procuring
equality of opportunities for American
manufacturers in China that Philander
c. Knox, when secretary of state, be-
gan the negotiations which ultimately
resulted in admitting American bankers
into equal participation with the bankers
of Great Britain. France and Germany in
the financing of the great Chinese loan.
Mr.. Dawson organized the syndicate
of American bankers which represented
the participation of the United States
in the Chinese loan. He organized this
