tended the meeting. and all were en-
thusiastic over plans for beginning

The league was formed that the MEM

quire skill in the making of strikes and
spares, but to promote good fellowship
and cause the members Of the body to
become better acquainted with one an
other There are many members of the
council who are very good bOwlers. and
many others who will with a little
practice become expert 1t is hoped that
from these the future champions Of
the District knights will be drawn.

Georgetown.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year are h. J. Cunningham, president

High School Attention.

So far as accepting games with
outside schools is concerned the
High School has entered more
heartily into foot ball this year
than usual. Five outside games
we're scheduled. three of which
have already been played, while
two are yet for<fate to determine.
This does not mean that more time
has been spent on football than.
usual. 1t means, however, that a
conscious effort has been made to
get more social benefits by letting
US mix and mingle with the High
SCI DOL boys of other towns.
The boys composing. the team
have, by their gentlemanly conduct
and energetic playing of clean foot
ball, made for themselves an en-
viable record in each town visited.
The heartiest game Of the season
will be played on the High School
grounds here next Friday after.
noon at $3.50. The strong team of
the Americas High School will
play against us at that time-a
team, by the way, at whose hands
we suffered defeat last Friday.

THE OTHER SIDE OF FARMING.

According to Senator Fletcher the
average farmer of the United States
earns about 500 per annum-less
than $500 per day. That is, he real
Mes that much in gross returns from
his toll and capital, after taking all
the chances and working longer hours
ard harder. than he would work in
almost any other occupation.
cit takes the farmer about ten
hours OF labor to earn $1.0O whereas
the man on the railroad which car
Sried his products to market earns 81
In about " hours.
THE situation is discouraging to
our young people.
t'While the consumer complains
about the price he pays for farm pro-
ducts that complaint is not to be
lodged against the farmer-the pro-
ducer. Somewhere between the farm
and the dinner table billions of dol
lars, probably seven billion, dlsap-
par, annually. Some portion OF this
belongs to the farmer.
THE total agricultural debt in this
6nn ntry is estimated to be about five
Df1l6on dollars divided as follows:
1853 per cent secured by real es-
tate mOFIsdBei ,
IA per cent secured by cnattel
mortgage;
80 per cent secured by crop liens
fother than cotton);
a7.8 per cent secured by cotton
sEsp liens; ,oo,
IS per cent unsecured, due local

e banks.
These features of the Aldrich plan
were rejected by public sentiment the
\ moment they were reported. They
are also rejected by the pending ad-
a ministration plan. They will stay re-
4 jected.
But beyond this, the Glass bill now
before congress pays singular tribute
d to the constructive genius OF Mr.. AL
drich and those who had planted and
watered before him. Yet bankers are
now denouncing the very provisions
II they once Endorsed.
We are told that the plan to divide
the powers and the functions of a
. central bank among twelve regional
federal savings banks, under sup
| ervisory government board, is more
centralizlng than a similar regional
division in the Aldrich plan. To that
the fact carries it's own answer.
1t is rather superciliously noted
" that in this plan national banks may
lend money on local real-estate secur-
titles to limited extent, but this pro-
vision is borrowed from the Aldrlch
plan
It is objected that the running time
of commercial paper which the feder-
"a az 1SoC1 We Uouho may 1CN1oSo"AAS ~
ridiculously restricted, but again the
Aldrich plan has been closely follow
ed.
No feature of the present plan has
been more holly assaulted than that
which empowers the government
board to require one federal reserve
bank to redscount for another. But
the Aldrich bill did the same thing
when it merged all reserves for re-
discounting east for west or west for
east.
ls No other feature is so resented as
1fhat which discriminates against bank
paper protected by stock and bond
collateral in favor of commercial and
crop paper, but the Aldrich bill car
ried the same discrimination.
Both plans Would retire the pres
emit bank CIRCULATION, the one with
so-called treasury notes, the other
with centfai-bank notes. Both pro-
vide for establishing American bank
ing facilities abroad. Both would
y prevent that massing of reserves in

byeeder of panics.

crowded. More protection against
Imitation is needed than the mere dis
yscretion Of any board But altogether
the bill provides a safe, studied, ef-
fective measure of bank and currency
reform.
The opposition of the bankers be-
q comes more and more pocketbook
y opposition. They are saying to the
country in effect that there shall be
\ no currency and banking reform un-
I less they can grab all the power, all
the benefits and all the profits. What
they demand is not currency and
banking reform but legalized mon
ley trust. Their real objection to the
administration bill is that it makes
