BEGIN WORK ON
DETAILS Of THE
NEW SYSTEM
Secretaries Houston and Nc.
Adoo Act as Committee to
Furnish Machinery to
Operate Law.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-With all
the power of law fresh from the pen
of President Wilson behind them, Sec
retary McAdoo aud Secretary Houston
today began working out details OF the
nations new financial system.
The two cabinet members, acting as
an Organization committee. will deter
mine the important preliminary moves
to the actual installation of the ma.
cbiDery that is 10 operate the federal
reserve system.
Although the law provides that the
two secretaries shall join with the
comptroller OF the currency In the pre-
liminary work of reorganization, the
office of comptroller is vacant and it
has been decided that the two secrcta-
ries, constituting a majority OF the
committee. may go ahead. Later the
members of the federal reserve board
of seven will be named by President
Wilson. The secretary of the treasury
and The new comptroller will be mem
bers of that body and the other five
will be chosen from private life. IT
President Wilson finally has made his
selection for those five places, it is not
known in Washington
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-12-25
Will Begin Today.

Secretary Nc cAdoo said ne expected
TO actuallv begin formal work of Sc
lectipg federal reserve cities tomorrow.
sTWe expect to consider the problem
In the light of what will most benefit
the entire country, and local inter
csts will not be regarded said he.
fsWe will probably outline the districts
and then choose the cities in each dis
trict where the federal reserve bank
will be located
Mr.. McAdoo did not know, he said,
whether there would be eight or twelve
districts. That point he regarded as
one OF the most perpleXing before the
organization committee.
Applications for membership came
TODAY from banks in Seattle. Denver,
Portland. Ore; San Francisco, Pomona,
Cal. and Palouse, Wash, among other
cities
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-12-25
Selection of Cities First.

Tho first step to be taken by the
secretaries will be the selection OF cit
les where federal reserve banks, the
backbone of the system, are TO be. To-
catd. The law provides for not less
than eight and not more than twelve.
The organization committee is empow-
cred to employ counsel and summon wit
nesses and papers and to 60 deeply in
TO the location of the reserve reser-
voirs. It's decision is not subject to
review by the federal reserve board.
1t is possible that before the ques-
ton Of cities is decided the organiza
tion committee will visit cities sug-
gestcd and base its report on informa-
tiou gained at first hand.
Cities that can hardly be kept off a
tentative list would include New York,
Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco and
New Orleans, with Denver, Atlanta and
Seattle or Portland, Ore, near the top.
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington.
Boston and several others are asking
for designation.

HOGS ARE SMART ANIMALS
served by an Fastener Travel
ing Through the South.

"A hog has a lot more sense than
people give the average hog credit for
or at least n razOrback hog has"
remarked an easterner who travels
through the south. Here's some
thing that Impressed me: At a little
southern town or village | went
through some time ago, a small boy
boarded the train with sandwiches
that he was selling, for there was no
eating place and the train reached
that point at about the noon hour. /
bought two sandwiches.
BY the time the train was at the
outskirts of the little town, l found
that the sandwiches instead of being
made with ham in the interior, con-
| tanned only some slices OF turnip. OF
| course ! threw mine away as soon as
| | found that out. Other passengers
raised the windows to throw theirs
| out at about the same time noticed.
/ And right at the point where most Of
| the sandwiches were thrown out, saw
drove of razorback hogs ready to
! gobble them up.
The conductor told me that the
| hogs had learned just how far the
train would go every morning before
the passengers would find the turnips
in the sandwiches and then throw the
| sandwiches away. And he said the
hogs wouldn't miss the right place by
more than a couple OF yards"

The Fortunate Eastern Farmer

six billions OF dollars worth of farm
produce was sent to market the past year
and the consumers paid in the neIghbor-
hood of thirteen billions of dollars.
This vast difference was chiefly caused
by the expense OF marketing high, slow
freight and long hauls.
The eastern farmer is indeed fortunate
in being right at the door of his market,
The great majority of the people OF
the east live in the cities. They are non
producers and their demands is greater
than the neighboriug farms can supply.
Clearly the farmers opportunity Is IN
the east
There are not only bigger. nearer mar
kets but lower and quicker freight rates
better educational facilities and the most
beneficial agricultural state laws.
Also improved land sells at much
lower price than wild land IN the eN
treme south and west.
The east offers every inducemcnt tt
the up-to-date farmer either in dalrying
poultry raising, fruit growing or market
gardening
All who are interested in the POSSIBLE
ties of farming in the east can do M
better than study the latest catalogue %
the f. A. Strout Farm Agency. The booL
is remarkable, not only for its th,
largest ever issued by this, the larges

Damage by the Flood.


We had our share of the flood, leav-
ing the roads IN the worst possible
condition. They had not been put i'll
repair since the October freshet, as
the cold weather came on before the
work could be done properly and now
the washouts are greater than at that
time. Added to the damage done in
the fall, they viii make an unusual
expense for the town. The water in
several places near the Holland bridge
overfoWed the road and the result
is very bad piece of road where last
year it was in fine shape. There are
many holes that are now positively
dangerous, and culverts are broken up
1t is estimated by some who know the
business that $500 hardly viii put
all the roads back in first class con-
dition. The West river has not often
been as high, or as turbulent, espec-
tally at time when there was no ice
in the river. The water rose on the
meadow, entirely surrounding the
buildings on both the \. d. Meacham
and A. F. Stone farms, though no Sc
rious damage is reported. The cement
conduit at the mouth of JOY brook,
which carries the water under the rail
road into the river and which had not
been repaired since the October flood
is in such a condition as to make it
necessary to take it up and relay it
for safety. The highway also is badly
| damaged at this point though the con
duit under the road put in last year
SENS to remain intact.

IT COULD NOT HAPPEN.

A newspaper having offered a prize
for the most impossible item of local
news. the competition was won by a
wildly imaginative genius, who sent in
the following brief story:
"A cabman and a bus driver came
into collision in the street with their
vehicles so that their wheels were
locked
My dear sir said the cabman,
Tn very sorry for this accident VIII
you kindly excuse me?'
Pray do not mention it. my dear
sir replied the bus driver The
fault was mine, rather than yours
And after getting clear Of each
other they bowed politely and pro
ceeded about their business with 9
pleasant good day. "-Tit-Bits.
