rencv, except the national bank notes,
viii be disturbed by the new law. The
United States bonds, now used to Sc
cure the issue of national bank notes,
are to be taken up at the rate OF $780,
100000 a year by the regional reserve
banks and new treasury notes, or short
term three per cent. bonds will take
their place. National bank currency is
expected gradually to retire"
The federal reserve board will exer-
else final control over the entire opera
tion of the system. 1t can compel one
regional bank to loan to another in time
of need; can suspend all restrictions
surrounding the reserves which regional
banks must hold; and can remove di-
rectors of regional reserve banks when
ever it is believed necessary.
While the banks retain control of the
boards of the regional reserve banks,
their connection with the federal reserve
board is only through an advisory coun-
ell, made up of one representative from
each federal reserve district. This coun-
Gil will meet in Washington. to confer
with the federal reserve board "on gem
eral business conditions" and to make
and suggestions con-
corning discount rates, note issues and
reserve conditions.
An important change in national bank
ing methods, embraced in the new law,
win permit all national banks except
those in New York, Chicago and st.
Louis, to make direct loans on five-year
farm mortgages, up TO 25 per cent. OF
their capital and surplus, or up to one
third of their time deposits. Another
provision in the law prints national
banks having capital of Sl,000000 or
more, to open foreign branches, Similar
is given to the regional re-
serve banks, the purpose being to facili-
tate the development of American trade
abroad.

rency when it is needed, and retire it
when money becomes ''cheap."
Banks are now required to keep a
certain percentage of their deposits as
reserves" part in cash in their own
vaults and part OF which may be rede-
posted in the banks of New York, Chi
cago, st. Louis and other designated
cities. In times of sudden financial de-
mands, when banks have loaned up to
the full limit of their resources, these re-
serves furnish little relief, because it
they are paid out to meet demands, the
banks are left in precarious condi-
ton.
Regional Banks Formed.
The basic principle of the new law
is to get these reserve funds out into
circulation when necessary, without les
SEEMING the safety of any bank; and to
provide place to which local banks
may rush in crisis and get cash for
the "prime commercial paper" they hold
in their vaults.
This is to be accomplished through a
chain Of regional reserve banks, or res
ervoirs of results" in which all banks
shall deposit stated part of the mon
ey they are required to hold as reserves.
Under the new system, when financial
furry comes, the banks can take com
mercial paper, such as notes, drafts and
bills of exchange, to these reservoirs
and secure the use of their own reserves,
or if necessary, even the reserve of 9TH
er banks, by depositing this security.
The new regional banks will receive
about onehalf of the bank reserves OF
the country. They, in turn, will be per-
mitted to loan back to the banks all

but 35 per cent. of these reserves, so
that in case of emergency, millions of
cash can be brought out into circulation
quickly. The banks will have to pay
for these loans, however, as individuals
have to pay for loan from any local
bank; and this charge is expected to pre-
vent the too free use of the reserves
held by the regional banks.

He who moves about these days is
made conscious Of subtle change up
on the road, the field, the wood and the
stream. There is q new sad quality
in the sunlight as it lies upon the
slopes, or washed with gold, the green
of the low-lying woodland. The mi
gratory birds appear in silent mood
as tho sadly contemplating leaving
their present abode for the winter
home in the southland. The gentle
breeze seems to sigh with gentle re-
gret, and such birds as may be heard
convey in their dwindling notes, a
sense of something over and gone. 1t
is as tho something passed this way,
something greatly loved and long de-
sired, whose presence was an unbrok-
en- divine festival, and now is gone,
leaving its devotees glooming, an &C.
casional sweet pea appears amongst
the sere mass of vines and the harder
asters serve as . reminder of the
summer that is gone. The nights
grow cooler and the air grows contin-
ually more bracing. Indian summer
is at hand, North Dakota's most de-
lightful period.

Peputy Collector Of Customs Nc
Intosh turned back three men who
wanted to come over from Canada on
Monday. They arrived in an auto
from Gainsboro and were somewhat
the worse for an abundance of fire
water, and when Mr.. Mcintosh asked
them if they belonged on this side of
the line one Of the party informed
him that his home was "in hell" while
one of the other fellows said that any
place he hung his hat was his home.
The collector looked over his map Of
the U. S. and being unable to find eth
Ter of those places located there decid-
ed they belonged to King George and
told the fellows to take trip back.
On the way from here to Lyleton the
three got into fight over a bottle of
whiskey, and the driver of the car
pulling a gun told them to get out on
the prairie and fight so that he could
see them. When they were safe dis
lance away he threw out their bag

Gainsboro, leaving them to walk the
rest of the way into Lyleton after they
had settled their difficulties to suit

The farm boy has tremendous ad-

trained to self-reliance, to perform

has sound body. He is eminently fit

farm is the best place in the world in
which to live. Ten chances to one he
would prefer to stay on his fathers
farm. II the father can learn to make

progressive, with hope of fine achieve
ment at the end Of the tsruggle, then
most boys will stay. It is when the

beat the wheat raising game, but
there's corn, hogs, poultry, cows, etc.

The most severe indictment against
the American farmer is that he does
not take time to give his family life's
ordinary comforts, and in self defense
he says that he has to work so hard
to make a living that he has no chance
to live! Sometimes there may be
truth in this, but, as rule it is not
the living that consumes the strength
and time, but the ce:seless struggle
to hang onto idle land, the reverend
ing caring for profitless cows, the
year-after-year cultivation of acres
that do not repay the labor Of culti-
walton. And none of these things are
necessary, therefore the indictment
stands!-Farm, Stock and Home.

Ward County farmers are going to
pay more attention to their corn crop
every year. In former years, the av-
erage farmer waited until after all
his other crops were in the ground,
then planted patch of corn that he
wasn't very particular as to the quail
ity of the seed. Corn for fodder was
all that he expected to get, believing
that it had little chance to mature,
anyway. Now it is known that fine
corn will mature here if the right kind
of seed is sown in the right time and
good care given it. Forty, fifty, six
ty bushels to the acre, these are some
of the averages obtained this year,
and nice large ears, too.

Farming experts tell US that too
much Of this years crop of corn can
not be saved for next years seed, as
it ripened up so nicely that it gives
Dakota farmers chance in lifetime
to obtain northern matured seed. Once
a good crop is successfully matured
it furnishes seed that will mature in
season in the community in which it
was raised, thus practically establish
ing corn there. The cry Of the farm
ing men over the entire state today
is, "Save your corn for seed"

No place like the country for cheap
living. High prices do not worry the
thrifty farmer. Let meat and lard
soar, he has the stuff at home. A
wife writes from Oklahoma that they
have a garden for vegetables, an or
chard for fruit, vineyard for grapes,
yard for chickens, and pens for
hogs and cattle. Then, she says, they
wear old clothes, so finery costs moth
ing. No nickel shows, no parties. No
use talking, go back to the farm.
