tonishing how few of the replies are ia
vorable to the enactment Of the bill AZ
presented to Congress-
It appears to be especially unsetis-
factory to the bankers in the smaller
cities and towns. They take the posi-.
ton that the plan will deprive them
of opportunities which they now have
of serving their customers, compel q
shifting of reserves which will result ir
loss of interest, and will not benefit them
in any way, while under its provisions
they will have to contribute part of their
capital to the fund for establishing the
regional reserve banks.
Bill May be Satisfactory.
There is a more widespread spirit OF
cooperation and desire among bankers
and business men to help remedy the
defects Of the pending currency bill than
there is of antagonism. II the tone OF
the letters received in reply to the in
quiries sent out can be accepted as an
indication of the attitude Of the various
business communities, but there is nc
longer doubt of a remarkable unanimity
of opposition among bankers in the small
cities ard towns as well as the large
banking centers to the adoption of the
bill as it was presented. Notwithstand-
ing this, the fact that the bill Is still
receiving the attention of the committees
at Washington, leads us to hope that I!
will be so amended as to meet all reas-
enable requirement and finally be passed
in a form that will be of very material
benefit to the entire country.

WATER STAYS IN

water will not stay exactly that length
OF time In the ocean. for many of them
will be drawn out by evaporation a few
minutes after they drop into it, And then
lisome drops mag wander about in the
ocean 10000 years before they escape. The
average length Of time, however is ss4o

All this has been figured out by Ger

goes into the ocean every year. He de-

ways" "somewheres," There's plenty
Of places"
The contraction don't" for do not"
should never be used with a singular
noun or pronoun. Il is correct TO say
He does not" and not He don't" 1t
is important to remember the objective
form Of the FIRST person singular when a
noun or pronoun or two pronouns fol-
low a verb, and not to say Ethel asked
Mary and TO 60" but Ethel asked
Mary and me to 60" II one is confused
about the use Of pronouns in a sentence
of this sort an easy rule is to separate
them and use each one with the verb,
thus: ETHEL asked Mary" and Ethel
asked me-" In this way the grammati-
cal form is seen.
II is correct 20 say "A summer day."
not "A summers day" "Cut the apple
In two or Sin halves" not cut the
apple in half" II cut the ribbon of
this piece" not "off Of this piece. The
child threw It on the floor not onto
the floor"
whether" is a worc that indicates a
choice OF things and should not be
placed at the head OF each part Of q

to repeat II thus; II have not decided

careless habits OF speech have

Many persons who consider them
selves well educated make the mistake
Of using the participle got" in conneo-

say: Have you got the ksy?' who
has got my book" instead Of Have
you the key?" Who has my book
Mistakes Of everyday occurrence are.
Who did you give ii tor" who Is this
for?" instead Of the correct expressions.
TO whom did you give it?" For whom
is this?"
Frequently one hears these errors in
grammar: Il intended to have bought
a pair of gloves" instead Of Il intended
to buy pair Of gloves" 1T was no use
asking him." instead of 1T was no use
to ask him. Try and persuade her to
CO." instead of TRY to persuade her to

1t would seem unnecessary to tell any

person may be heard saying "He says"
instead Of He said"
