the Percheron did more work than the

weight. The Percheron can pull the
pillow deeper and haul heavier loads.
This instance In Tattnall County is
not referred to as the first movement
of the kind in introducing live stock
growing in Georgia, nor as exceptions
al only as in respect to the attitude
of the bankers and for the lesson
which 1t can convey to other bankers.
In this day of rural credit investi-
cation and studying of the problem
of cooperative marketing, It Is per-
tinent to observe that the rural banks
are capable OF initiating and doing
things comparatively with the farm
er and for the benefit of both.
Work To Be Extended.
Since the rural bank is a fixed in
stitution, 1t will continue to have a
part to play in developing the agri-
cultural resources of the country, it is
important. of course, that every ave-
nue. of helpful service open to them
should be used
After the fashion of the TattnaL
County Bankers Association with ref
erence to raising work stock, a like
work can be done with reference to
beef production, dairying, variation of
crops, pork production, trucking, etc.
The fact is, there is world of
power in the hands Of the rural banks
for reconstructing agricultural activi-
ties. The progress of the rural bank
is involved. Why, then, should not
agriculture be one Of the chief studies
of the banker?
The writer visited a bank in Cuba,
Ala, and found suspended on the
wicker work of the counting room
samples of new kinds of crops and
new varieties that have been success
fully grown in the county. About
each Of the crops the banker was pre-
pared to talk intelligently and give ad-
vice. Pretty good way, that
Since Southern rural bankers are
continually financing crops, does It
not naturally follow that the bankers
should be agricultural experts, at least
well-informed agrtcultgrists, both for
their own protection and prosperity
and for the prosperity of the commu-
nifty?
VIII not the rural banks see their
way to even employing an agricultu-
raj expert to advise, direct and en-
gage in building up agriculture and
thereby to contribute to the upbuild-
ing of local wealth?

Money Bill May Kill
Wall Street Prestige
By BOERS IANER.

CHICAGO, Oct 4.-If the currency
bill passes the Senate as it left the
house, New York will be bereft of a
final excuse for monopolizing the
trading in certain securities.
The defense of the easy and album
dant loans" of quick and ready
banking accommodations" no longer
will be valid Certain stocks may be
handled on the exchanges of the com
munities where the shares are heav-
lily held.
Boston should have exclusively
American Telegraph and Telephone
and the business in Amalgamated.
Anaconda and Utah Copper. Phila-
delphia should lead Wall Street in
handling Pennsylvania and Reading.
Chicago should have monopoly Of
Peoples Gas and chronicle more
trading in ST Paul, Illinois Central
and Baltimore and Ohio than the
Eastern bourse
These are instanced at random.
There are many properties really
alien TO Wall Street.
Early Day Practice.
Before Wall Street had enjoyed the
vast vogue which began in 1901 it
was natural usage for securities to be
listed and traded in on the exchanges
where such values were prepondera-
bly, held. Thus Boston did much more
in Atchison, in Burlington, in New
Haven and in all the coppers than
New York. Philadelphia was priW-
legged in Reading, Pennsylvania, in
Lehigh Valley and issues owned by
Pennsylvanians. Chicago was the
chief market for several stock issues
and of Peoples Gas.
The transfer of control of the gas
company to the Flower interests later
the exodus eastward of a group Of
Chicago promoters and millionaires,
gave New York what once had been
Chicago's.
In the last few years. however,
there have been re-tTansfers to the
Chicago Boston and Philadelphia
markets. The most notable, numeri
cally and collectively are Pennsyl-
vania and Reading to Pennsylvania
investors and capitalists, and Peoples
Gas. St. Paul and Sears Roebuck to
ChicagOans.
If the bourses of Chicago Boston
and Philadelphia can rid themselves
Of the infection of localism that has
afflicted them in the last decade they
can come into their own; can flourish
as they did before Wall Street be-
came the irresistible lure Of adven-
turous money captains.
West Increases Holdings.
Within three years Western inter
est in some of the Western railways
has doubled, and, in some instances,
trebled, st. Paul now is heavily held
in Chicago. To the Field estate hold
ings of Baltimore and Ohio there
have been many LaSalle street aC-
Cessions. Last month the control of
Peoples Gas reverted to Chicago.
The strongest argument New York
could advance of late for handling
stocks fundamentally out of Its juris-
diction was its bank facilities. This
may be a plausible reason as against
Boston and Philadelphia; il is lame
applied to Chicago. where the largest
banking institution in the country is
situated and where accommodations
are far reader in tight money mar
kets than in the East If the owen
Glass bin reaches Wilson for his
sanction. New York's money supply
will be propoptionably less than Chi
cago's, since Eventually money must

MORE CANNED
MILK IS SOLD To
ATLANTAHONES
Chamber of Commerce ReveIa-
tons of Dirt in Diaries Increase
Domestic Consumption.

Agitation by the Chamber Of Com
merce against insanitary diaries in
Atlanta and revelations of the Cham
bers Investigators have stimulated
the demand for condensed and eyap-
GRATED milk. according to W. NJ.
Burke, of the H. H. Whitcomb &
Burke Co, No. 149 Madison avenue,
grocery brokers.
Sales Of condensed and evaporat-
ed milk have increased remarkably
within the past two months, and have
shown a gradual increase for a year"
says Mr.. Burke. Use of canned milk
has not doubled or anything like that,
but 1 would venture to say that
twelve cans are sold now where ten
were sold last year.
The increase is likely to hold too,
for once a consumer gets used to con-
densed milk he never quits it. OF
course the taste differs a little from
fresh milk, and at first this is dis
concerning. To those who become ia
miliar with it. however, this faint
flavor is rather agreeable than 9TH
erwise
Bakers and confectioners are the
greatest users of condensed milk, but
the Atlanta retail grocers are buying
more and more from their Jobbers, re-
hecting a stimulated demand from
the homes.
Il attribute this to the nauseating
revelations of the condition of At
lanta dairies made by the Investigate
ing committee Of the Chamber Of
Commerce.
One thing is certain, condensed
milk is pure. II must be thoroughly
steVile and free from germs, or il
will not keep. To express 1t another
way, the process of condensation nee
essitates complete sterilization. The
milk the Gamers use, too, comes
from the finest Jersey herds. In
Louisiana and Florida where cattle
ticks and mosquitoes make dairying
a hazardous pursuit in large sections
condensed milk is used almost exclu-
sively.
