BURTON SCORES
CURRENCY BILL
IN SPEECH BEFORE BANKERS
OHIO SENATOR WARNS AGA
INST POLITICAL CON
TROL OF SYSTEM.

Richmond. Na,-Senator Burton of
Ohio in an address before the annual
session of the American Institute of
Bankers here today. attacked the
democratic currency bill pending in
congress. He condemned the regional
reserve bank plan proposed. but his
criticism was aimed chiefly at the
provision arising from federal reserve
board control of the issuance of cur
rency.
1T is based on an erroneous idea, .
he said, namely. that the govern
ment OF political organization may
properly assume the privilege to sup
ply paper currency directly or indi-
rectly."
He said the redemption of all cir
culatins notes should be left to the
banks exclusively and declared the
proposed plan would cause no de
rcneement in times of fair weather,
but that in time of panics, the OBJ
legation of the government TO redeem
circulating notes would be more bur
densome and might impair its credit
Discussing the plan to put the re.
serve bank system under the control
of federal reserve board, he said
that politics enters all administrative
duties and that the competition be-
tween the opposing parties is so keen
that those engaged in enterprises
would not feel sure the authority OF
the political board would not be used
for partisan advantage
Senator Burton strongly recon-
mended a provision granting the auth
ority to national banks to accept Ger
tain classes of paper and proposed
the establishment OF branches in for
eign countries.

WILL CONSULT
FARM WOMEN
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
WILL ASK $4,000 HOW To
IMPROVE RURAL LIFE.

Washington, D. C.-Secretary of
Agriculture Houston within the
next few days will address letter
10 the women members OF $4,000
farm households throughout the
United States, requesting them to
give him information as to how the
Department of Agriculture can best
serve the needs of farm women.
These letters will be sent to wives
of the official crop correspondents.
The inquiry results from letter
which said: "The farm woman has
been the most neglected factor in
the rural problem, and she has been
especially neglected by the national
Department of Agriculture. The
letter was written by man SO
thoroughly in touch with the agrl-
cultural and domestic needs OF me
country that his opinions have great
weight.
SECRETARY Houston determined that
the best way to learn how to give
these women the fullest possible aid
which their important place in agri-
cultural production warrants, was
to seek suggestions from the wom-
en- themselves. They will be invited
to forward individual answers or to
discuss the matter in their societies
and submit answers representing
the combined opinions of the wom-
en- of their communities:
The answers are requested not
later than Nov. Is, giving the women
time after harvest to discuss the
matter with their neighbors. They
are expeced to represent the views
and oninionc nf inward nf En0 nnn
farm women and will be carefully
considered by the specialists of the
department.

Spring Clipping Of Horses

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is TO clip all horses in the
spring IL is done on the theory thai in
their natural state horses were not obliged
to work. so could shed the winter coat in
comfort over period of several weeks.
Since we oblige them to do hard work on
warm spring days, the winter coat should
be removed for the same reason that we
lay of our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do not
take cold az easily nor are they as prone
90 be affected with other ailments as un-
clipped animals whose longer hair holds
the perspiration for hours. Because clipped
horses dry off rapidly they rest better, get
more good from their food and come out
In the morning refreshed and fit for work.
Since the advent of the ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work Of
taking off the winter coat is easy. With
the machine n horse can be clipped all over
In half an hour, whereas with the old two
hand clipper il required several hours TO
do It..
Dairvmen also now clip the cows all
over two or three times year The hanks
and udders are clipped every three or four
weeks, so IL is easy tn clean the parts be-
tore milking. This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities to get into
the milk.

people than any other day set apart
for paying tIibute TO patriotism. 1t

These memories become more sacred
with every added year, because the

soon join the Grand Army Of the Dead
To the earlier Decoration Days have
been added new memories of thousands
of Spanish American War veterans
who laid down their lives for more
glorious America,
Let the people Of Michigan make
next Decoration Day the most beauti-
full in all her history. This should
not be day Of recreation and amuse-
meut but rather day for conservation.
Flowers for the dead betoken kindly
spirit, but flowers for the living Of the
Grand Army OF the Republic are an
expression Of love and yalor.
The thrtieth of May is set apart
for appropriate exercises in every
school house and church in Michigan
whereby our boys and girls may be
encouraged TO cherish an abiding love
for both our heroic dead and living
