The laws of nature under whic soils are formed and maintained and the poor farming of our an cestorsmay be responsible for the present lack of fertility in our soils ;. but if they remain poor the fault is ours. With con ditions favorable for double cropping system-to crops a year and with soils that respond quickly to proper treatment, there is no excuse for any man continuing to cultivate poor soil. The man who does so is alone blame. He is man who grows one crop a year, and to double his yield in five years, all he has to do is to add anoth- CT crop each Year, without any

Fodder pulling time will soon be here again and many a corn field will be 'sbutchered'' in this way at greater expense in la bor and decrease corn yield than 1t would have cost to produce twice as much forage in some other way. Pulling corn fodder IS practlced only in the South and more largely in the Southeast, but the sooner we recognize that a corn crop s rown for corn should be allowed to mature be- fore it's leaves are removed, and that either the whole stalk and leaves should be utilized for feed or hay produced by the growing of hay crops, the better it will be for livestock and our pocket books.

 4a the function oAly by arbi- tary decree; it could not, with out engaging in the general banking business, expand or con tract it's note issues according g to the demands of business.
 Thereis no danger in leaving the contraction and expansion of the currency to the operation of banking. Senator Owen. and some millions of other persons, d not understand the govern ment does not, and never has' and probably never will, have control over the expansion and contraction of the volume ot cur rency. The currency wlthWLlch the country does business con sists of checks and drafts drawn on bank deposits, Something 
 overninety per cent of all the country's business is done by the use of this currency. This currency is secured by bank as- sets. It is created by banking machinery, but the banks do not control it. Neither does the gov ernment. It rises and falls in volume exactly according to the expanding and contracting vol tune of business. The volume IS controlled by bank reserves, which are money. Competition among banks and the desire for profit forbids any direct bank ing control. If reserves are strong, banks lend, deposits rise and the drawing of checks in- creases. If reserves are weak, loans contract, deposits fall and the volume of currency diminish .es.
 A note currency, to Senator Owens mind, is not a form of check currency reduced to a more convenient form for gen. eral circulation; but it is nothing else. If note currency is to be elastic, it must be created by the same operations, and Il ust c me and go like the check currency. The single duty of the govern ment is to supervise the the oper ation so that fraud, forgery and : deceit may be penalized, stabili- ty insured and the general wei fare conserved.

MONEY AND CURRENCY

It would have been as unpre- cedented thing if a currency re form measure had come in per. feet form from it's framers But it is discouraging when those charged with the duty of leadership display misapprehen- sion as to fundamental principle of banking, Senator Owen of Oklahoma, chairman of the up- per Committee on Banking and Currency, gave out a statement explaining the Glass-Owen bill, inwhich he said that the insur- ance of the currency of the coun- try was vital public function, and that it should not be place d in the hands of private parties. He referred to currency as the measure of value. His er- TOT here arose, 1t was clear, from his confusion of the terms, mo ney" and currency"
 There are ninety odd millions in the United States who make this same mistake. Currency has nothing to do with measur- ing values. Gold is themeasure The value cf currency is also measured in gold, which is the standard. Gold is money.
 Issuing currency is not vi tai public function. If it were a vital public function. presum- ably the public would guard it jealously. It would be danger GUS to empower the governmen t to expand and contract the vol ume of the currency. because a2ss ,Cr no ro

QUEEN MARY BARS
BIG GAMBLING CLUB
ConSOrt Ends Plans For ExCIu-
Sive WOmdn'S House.

London.-Quecn Mary by reason of
her unconquerable aversion to gam
bling in amy form 10y women has pre-
vented the establishment of Il woman's
club in London which. from social
point of view. by far would have out
ranked any existing wonan's club III
the city and which, in fact, would
have been kind of woman's Marlbor-
ough club.
The incident at the same time shows
how. in spite of the queens strong and
constantly demonstrated objection. the
society women of England are equally
determined not to be deprived of their
big or little gambling.
A plan was formulated n short time
ago to start II woman's club the mem
bership of which was to be restricted
to past and present ladies of the vari-
Gus royal households in England. At
first everything pointed to its imme-
date great success. Nearly every
royal lady residing in England prom
ised to join. and a strong body Of la
dies of the royal households imme-
ulttelN CaIHe III.
OF course it was absolutely essen
tial that such II club should have the
support of the queen, as she Is the
head of the select body from which
the members were to he selected.
Lady Agneta Montague. the organic
ing secretary of the club. Immediately
approached Queen Mary rs soon ms the
successful establishment of the club
was assured couple of weeks ago
the queen wrote to Lady Agneta that
she would join the club, but only on
the conditions that there should be no
card room in it and that no male Wis
itors should be received
These conditions were made known.
and two weeks sufficed to show that
they rendered the formation Of the
club impossible. for Of the $50 ladies
who formed the original nucleus of
the organization 40 have now with
drawn their names. As result the
scheme has been abandoned
