No Obligation on United States.

Il have had some suggestions made to
me that the government ought to main-
tain the IS at par, but the government is
under no legal OF moral obligation to do
this. There is only one way in which the
government could do it, and that is to
go into the market and buy the bonds
whenever they are offered.
II can see no ground for apprehension
by the banks about the currency bill or its
effects. / am confident that the meas
ure when passed will be acceptable to
the, country, and that it will prove of en-
during benefit to the banks, to the gen.
erai business interest and to all of the
people. This is not time to take coIIr-
sci OF foolish and unfounded fears, but it
is time when every citizen, regardless
of class or occupation should periodically
support the government in its efforts to
correct the manifest defects and abuses
of our financial system and to give 1t
greater stability and security"

Fleets Embraced in Invitation.

The formal invitation of the United
states government was dispatched to
all the diplomatic officers of the
United States abroad September II by
secretary Bryan. 1t recites the fact
that In the navy appropriation act of
1911 the President is authorized and
requested in extending his invitatio
the exposition also to invite "their
representatives and their fleets to as
semble at Hampton roads, Va and
from thence come to the city of Wash
ington, there to be formally welcomed
by the President" The President was
then to proceed to Hampton roads to
review the assembled fleets as they
start on their voyage to San Fran
cisco.
Our diplomatic officers were told that
in communicating this invitation they
should express the pleasure which the
President would feel should they de-
eide to accept it by appointing repre-
sentatives and by sending as many of
their national war vessels as they may
deem proper to assemble at Hampton
roads,
Because this invitation is extended
by the government of the United States
on its own account. it is expected tina.
ii will meet with general acceptance
and the result will be the gathering of
a fleet of perhaps seventyiye or d.
hundred warships of the best type. for
the reason that slow and antiquated
vessels would be unable to keep pace
with the rest of the fleet in the cruise
from Hampton roads to the Golden

Few Banks to Quit.

The effect of all this seems to be the
creation of a belief on the part of a few
nervous people that the currency meas
ure is SO bad that numbers of the nation
al banks will go out of the system if the
bill should be passed, and that large
amount of IS will, as a result, seek a.
market; that the market will be too
narrow to absorb all the offerings, and
that the price may therefore go very
low. reasonable amount of reflection
should satisfy any one that there is no
danger of this eventuality. Every day
bankers from different parts of the coun-
try visit the Treasury Department They
express themselves with great freedom
l have yet to find one who has deter
mined to quit the national banking sys-
tenn If this measure is enacted
Even If a number of the banks should
retire from the system, d very much
larger number will undoubtedly remain
in 1t. and the banks that remain will re-
quire larger amount of bonds to sup
ply the deficiency of circulation
The present market quotation for
government os should not be taken too
seriously. 1t does not indicate real value.
The president of one of the largest
southern banks was in my office recently
and told me that he desired to buy
S1S5CCo of the Is. He said that he was
assured by New York bankers that If he
gave this order to purchase at the mar
ket it would result in advancing the
price several points

M 'ADOO SAYS Is
ARE SAFE TO HOLD
Secretary of Treasury Reas-
sures Bankers as to
Currency Bill.

Bankers In all parts of the country
are writing to the Treasury Depart
ment for information as to what will
be the effect Of the pending currency
reform bill upon government 2 per
cent bonds. Secretary McAdoo has
made public a letter he has addressed
to r. d. Duncan of Little Rock. Ark,
as typical Of the replies he is making
in all such inquiries.
II have your letter of the 18th in
stant, in which you inclose copy of
circular issued by bankers Of ST. Louis
in reference to the per cent bonds"
the Secretary wrote. IT am surprised
that a reputable banking house would
sponsor a circular disclosing such
lack of information upon such an i'm
portant matter. If you have read the
pending measure you will see that the
government is dealing more than fair
ly with the holders of these securities.
The bill contains the following pro-
visions:
Provision for Exchange.
First. That the holders Of the IS
may exchange them for per cent
bonds without the circulation privilege,
in any one year shall not exceed S
per cent Of the outstanding IS This
is privilege granted to the banks
which they may Or may not exercise, as
their interest dictates. Certainly it is
not disadvantage to have this priv
ilege.
Second That at the end of twenty
years all the outstanding IS shall be paid
at par and interest. AS it now stands
the per cent bonds are redeemable after
1880, at the pleasure of the government
only. They are, therefore irredeemable
so long as the government does not
choose to pay them. The bill gives them
a definite due date. No one would be so
rash as to claim that this Injuries their
value.
cannot understand why any national
bank should sell it's bonds at present
quotations. Certainly there is nothing in
the pending legislation to justify such ac-
ton My attention has recently been
called to items appearing in various
newspapers and to statements in circular
letters privately distributed calculated to
cause apprehension about the per cent
bonds.

HOW TO STACK OATS.
Stacks Should BE Built 90 thoy viii
shed Watersheds Should Be
Set Up From the Ground.

Where grain is stacked It is impor-
tant that the stacks be we'll built II
the stacks are so carelessly put up
that they will not shed water the
grain might much better be allowed TO
stand In the shock. The bottom OF the
stack should be set up from the
ground slightly by laying down old
rails or other material TO keep the
grain from coming in contact with the
earth This will prevent the ABSORB
ton OF moisture from below. The
shape OF the stack is less important
than the manner in which the bundles
are laid. They should be 30 placed
that only the butts are exposed, and
so that water will readily run on the
sides Of the stack and not penetrate
enough to wet the grain. The round
form OF stack probably sheds water
better than the long rick sometimes
constructed II the rick is built the
top should be covered with straw or
wild hay to keep out water.
