STATE EVENTS

On Wednesday, July 9, at the home
of their son, James Simpson, who has
a fine farm in the Golden valley, near
Ray, Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Simpson
celebrated their golden wedding ami
versary. Mr.. Alexander Simpson n
Miss Margaret Young were married at
the parish church, ~Speymouth, Moray
shire, Scotland, on Feb. Fl, 1853. On
account of the fact that a number of
the relatives were unable to be pres
ent in February it was decided to hold
the celebration in July, so as to permit
the presence of relatives who live at
a distance. The old couple have, be-
side our children, twenty grandchil-
dTen and n great grandchild. Their
entire life was spent in Scotland, the
land Of their birth, up till seven years
g when they came to America, to
live with their sons Previous to COM
ing here they lived for thirty years
on one farm at Culfolde, Focheber,
Scotland. A golden wedding dinner
was served at a table prettily decor
ated, the principal ornament being a
beautiful wedding cake. In the after
oon Alexander Simpson, who is a viol-
mist of note, entertained by playing a
number Of Scottish selections, and, al
though being 70 years of age, he hand
led the violin like a master. Ar item
of interest in the family history is
that during the past seven years diff
ferent members have celebrated three
golden weddings. This is an occur
enc which very seldom happens In a
family. In the evening about 100 of
the friends and neighbors arrived to
take part in the festivities and the
evening was spent in a social way, Wis
iting and dancing, refreshments being
served. T- r4

SUFFRAGE NOTES

Woman suffrage will bankrupt the
state of California, according to Miss
Alice Hill Chittenden, president of the
New York State Anti-Suffrage asso-
citation in an official statement last
night, as the result of three months
investigation of the feminine vote in
California. "Creating the millennium
with the ballot and regardless of the
staggering cost" she says, h a been
California's beautiful dream since
woman suffrage carried the state
eighteen months ago. Children are
not to be separated from their par
ents because Of their poverty. The
state is to substitute the home. School
teachers are to be ~pensioned. Old
people are to receive an annual in
come. Prisoners are to be paid for
their work in the jails. A regime CT
ease and comfort is to dawn in the
golden state. And then everybody in
the community will be happy-except
the tax payers, who must become
| paupers or criminals before they can
draw dividends on their investments
in CALIFORNIA; utopian cheme. Thirty
one commissioners were created BY
the legislature that adjourned a few
weeks ago. 1t is estimated that the
annual expenses of these commission
will amount to about 81, 00O, 900. There
are but a few of the results born oil
Woman's entrance into the politics al
the state. And California has only
just begun to spend money to eX-
| pedlte the millennium. "The schemes
| advocated by the more rabid suffragist
reformers if carried out would bank
rupt the state in a few years. Fortu-
nately the women of the state are
| growing tired of their'new toy. The
| California situation is an object les,
son to other states in which women
are clamoring for the right to vote"

Of out-of-town banks that has been en-
ployed in the carrying of stock ex-
change loans; therefore, why disturb
the reserve relations between banks so
violently, and without any definite
knowledge Of what effect it ma have
on business?
The original official plan had, as it's
basis, a reserve requirement as fol-
lows:
For country banks, or banks OUT
side of reserve cities, Is per cent.
which amount after t~hirty-six months
should consist of 7k per cent in law
full money in their vaults and 7h per
cent to their credit in federal reserve
banks.
For the reserve and central reserve
cities, 20 per cent was required, 10 per
cent Of which would be lawful money
in their vaults and 10 per cent to their
credit with the federal reserve bank.
1.-THE committee of bankers, feeling
that the trainers of the bill had not Civ
en- careful enough consideration to the
natural trend of the exchanges of the
country and the necessities for leaving
them free and unhampered. and believ-
ing the rearranging of the reserves as
provided for in the bill would work a
great hardship upon the business of the
country through impairing the ability
of banks to furnish credit facilities to
administration heads that their bill be
amended so that country hanks should
continue to carry Is per cent, the banks
in reserve cities Is per cent and those
in central reserve cities 90 per cent,
TT was also recommended that in
the case of the country banks S per
cent Of this amount should be in lawful
money in their vaults. 3 per cent to
stand to their credit with the federal
reserve banks and the balance of z
per cent either in their own vaults,
to their credit in the federal reserve
bank, or with other correspondents in
reserve cities, as they might elect. In
the case of banks in reserve cities it
was proposed that 6 per cent of the Is
per cent should be carried in lawful
their credit with federal reserve banks
with the federal reserve bank or with
their correspondents in central reserve
cities, as they should elect.
"In the case of central reserve cities
it was proposed that one-half of the
reserve of 20 per cent should be ar
Tied in their vaults in lawful money
and one-half to their credit in the fed
eral reserve banks.
Thought Change Would BE Made.
1--WE made long and, as we believed,
logical arguments for these modi1ca-
tons, and we left Washington beliey-
ing that they would be made; but the
draft of the bill | have received does
Enot embody them. 1t shows that after
thirty six months one-third, or 5 per
cent. of the Is per cent reserve requir-.
ed by county banks may, at the discre-

of thirty-six months to SO adjust their

Can't Stop Speculation.
"a careful study OF the bill will dis
close the fact that the purpose of those
who prepared 1t Is to redistribute' pres
ent bank reserves, returning them to
the section Of the country from whence
they came. It will, of course, be 'ap-
parent that this, Interpreted, means
a desire to ~decentralize the reserves
now held in the centers. Why this
should be done or what good is toGbe
accomplished by it I do not know, but
| have reason to believe 1T has al it's
basis a desire to stifie speculation and,
more specifically, to prevent the flow
of money to New York to be loaned in
stock exchange transactions. 1t may
be possible that to pass a law deter
mining the question of where and how
bank reserves are to be carried will
change human nature, but I do not
believe it.
Speculation will exist so long as
the desire for gain is Unborn in the
human race, and since business is a
means through which gain is sought,
speculation will exist as long as bust
ness exists; all the legislation in
christendom cannot stop it. You may
try to regulate it by attempting to reg
ulate the business which is most in
clined to breed speculation. but destroy
it, never. s A.
IF a proper system of banking and
currency is adopted and there is es-
tablished in the United States an open
market for commercial paper, most OF
the evils that 1t is alleged are created
through the concentration of capital In
the centers will disappear, for the
banks of the country are now forced to
resort to stock exchange loans because
that is the only avenue through which
1t is possible for them to secure liquid
paper upon which funds can be immedi-
ately collected.
"The maintenance Of a broad, open
market for commercial paper and bills
of exchange would soon draw to that
market the major portion of the money

fairness is caused by an unnatural
amount of nutrition absorbed by GER
tain tissues. The only safe way by
which this can be overcome is with the
aid of %parnotis. You can prepare your
own treatment by dissolvfng 4 unces
p~arnotis in l Ia pints hot water. The
dose is a tablespoonful before, each
meal. This treatment rarely fails and
is devoid of danger or Inconvenience,
When YOU have taken off enough fat
the lines of the figure will be greatly
improved and your general health Will
be much better.
Mary B.: Those ugly hairs on your
face will quickly vanish after an APP
~pIication of a delatone paste, made by
mixing de1atone with water. This paste
should be left on the hairy surface 2 or
3 minutes, then removed and the skin
washed. The delatone treatment is
simple, effective and quite harmless,
but be sure you get deIatone.
Lottie: That faded and "stringy''
appearance of your hair will soon dis
appear if you shampoo occasionally
with CanthrOx (see answer TO dolly },
then rub some quinz;oin tonic into the
scalp and hair-roots two or three times
each week. The ~quinZoin tonic cor

ageable hair will give a rich natural
color and soft fluff, SO that doing it up
will be a delight.
Grille: I am always glad to repeat a
recipe. The wrinkle-remover formula
which your friend found absolute in its
action is easily and cheaply made at
home by mixing l ounce of almazoin
with IL pint cold waiter and adding
~teaspoonfuls glycerine- Stir and let
stand for one day. TO remove or pre-
ven wrinkles, apply this vegetable
cream-jelly thickly and leave over
night, then wash off and with more of
the cream massage thoroughly. l have
found nothing to equal almazoin jelly
cream to remove wrinkles and keep
them away. 1t contains no fatty sub
stances which might promote growth
of hair. You will also NOTICE by it's
