DEMOCRATS FEAR
Remarkable Changes Made
In Owen Bill.
RESERVE PROVISIONS REVISED.
This Done In Haste to Prevent Cur
rency Contraction-Many Other Inn
portant Changes Made by Both
Wings of the Senate.
RESERVE PROVISIONS REVISED.

Washington, Nov. 19-The admins
tration Democrats on the senate bank
ing and currency committee are con-
sideraOly concerned over the problem
of preventing the contraction of cur
rency as the result of the shifting of
reserves from the present reserve cen
ters to the proposed regional reserve
banks.
This became apparent when the six
Democrats made some remarkable
changes in the administration bill af-
fecting the reserves.
Many other important changes were
made by both wings of the senate. The
bars erected against the use of the
words lawful money in connection
with the redemption fund were let
down a little further by the Demo
Gratis.
The most important action of the
day, however, had to do with the eff
forts to avoid a possible contraction
of the currency and the calling of
loans.
Among the Democrats a tentative
agreement was reached that member
banks instead of transferring money to
the regional associations at once may
pay 30 per cent of the reserves re-
quired by the regional association in
rediscount paper to the value of twice
the amount of the reserve required.
1t was also agreed that the federal
reserve board in its discretion may ac-
cept the notes of the reserve associa-
tons or any form of bank notes tenn
porarily with the understanding that
the reserve board will not extend this
privilege to the banks beyond the
temporary conditions created by the
shifting of reserves.
Owen Startles Colleagues.
But even with this action members
of the committee were far from being
certain that they had solved the prob
lem presented by the complaints of
western bankers as to the possibility
of contraction of currency and the
calling of loans due to the shifting of
reserve money.
This is admittedly a very serious
problem and does not seem to have
been entirely comprehendedu until Chair
man Owen presented figures that
startled his colleagues. These figures
had been compiled by Mr. Owen acting
with the treasury department experts
The chairman has maintained all
along that If the member banks found
the strain too heavy on them because
of the shifting reserves they would
not be driven to the extremity of call
ing loans, but could turn to rediscounts
to replenish their stock of cash.

BEACH LAKE.

Beachlake, Nov. Cove are not
ready for winter yet, so these cold
snaps make people hustle to get in
shape before winter sets in for
good.
The teachers are again at their
respective duties after spending a
pleasant and profitable week in
Honesdale at the institute where
they report very fine and instruc-
tive institute not excelled' by any
previous ones.
Alex Crosby and the ailing ones
are now convalescing except Mrs.
VIM. Treverton who is still without
any improvement.
The grave is now being dug for
Mrs. Jane Gould, formerly Jane
Spry of Beachlake. Her first hus-
band, James Oliver, was buried here
and that is why the interment is at
this place.
William Davey lost one of his
best COWS Saturday.

DEAD PRIEST GUARDED BY DOG
One Animal Led the Way to the Woods
Where Body Was.

Mobile, Ala, Nov. 19.-The body of
Father Valasquez, professor in the
monastery at Rosaryville, La, was
found guarded by a small dog in the
woods near the institution. Another
dog led the searching party to the
place. The priest had been missing
since Saturday, and death was due to
heart disease.
The dogs were fass friends of the
priest. Nero, the larger, went to the
monastery and began to howl and
whine, at the same time tugging at
those who had arisen as result of the
commotion. When followed, he led sew
eral priests to where the dead man lay.
The little dog was found whining over
the body.
Father Valasquez was ffty-eight
years old and was the first rector of
the University Of Manila after the
Spanish-American war.

PREPARING TREES FOR WINTER

During the mild weather of fall
and the early part of the winter is
the time to prepare trees to pass
through the winter without injury
from certain causes" said State Zoo
logist H. A. Surface, at his office in
Harrisburg recently.
Professor Surface said that there
is great advantage in mounding
trees with earth around them before
the permanent freezing of the ground
for winter. He has had considerable
experience with this work, and now
practices this method in his own or
chard. The grass and leaves around
the trees should be drawn away with
rake or hoe, and with long-han-
died spade that will let the workmen
reach under the trees. The earth
should be piled around the top in a
cone to the height of four to six in
ches. The reason for drawing away
the very loose earth and organic ma
terial, such as grass, weeds and
leaves, at the surface before covering
the earth and the mound is that if
this is not done, mice will work un-
der the mound and gnaw the trees
beneath it. If the earth is well COM
pacted and not placed on rubbish,
there is almost no danger from their
burrowing through it.
One great advantage of the
mounding is that it continues above
the ordinary surface of the snow,
and as the mice do not come above
the snow to feed, it generally gives
protection. The same results as
mounding trees are to be obtained
by tamping down the snow after each
snowfall, so that it is so firm that
the mice will not attempt to burrow
through it.
The mice which do this damage
are the hort-tailed meadow mice
properly known as Voles, and Of
ten wrongly called Ground moles,
which are seen in abundance in fields
and orchards where there is much
vegetation. Their smooth winding
runways just at the surface of the
ground are we'll known. Sometimes
they go so far as to dig into or pene-
trate the ground and gnaw at the
roots of trees that may extend out
some distance from the trunk. 1t is
good plan to prepare for the winter
by poisoning them by putting poison
into their holes. There is a Farm
ers' Bulletin on poisoning such rod
ents, and published by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, Washing
ton, D. c., which can be obtained
free of charge by writing for it.
