Will Help the West.

The new federal reserve banking
system is expected to be of benefit tc
all sections of the country, but it is
anticipated that the west especially
will find advantage in the operation
of the new plan, says an Eastern ex-
change. 1t is being pointed out by
some of the leading bankers at Chi
cago, for instance, that one inevitable
tendency of the new system will be to
free the west of its previous depen-
dence on New York in financial mat
ters and adjustments. Heretofore
New York has been the only place in
the country where vast sums in the
aggregate could be loaned con call. y
The problem for the banker has been
to keep spare funds of the dull per-
iods of the year employed at some rate
that would be productive without being
tied up in business that did not permit
of its immediate use when the oppor-
tunity for its regular loaning came.
The existence of big call-loan mar
ket in New York has supplied the
only facility within reach.
With the existence of the redis-
count facility of the reserve banks it
is pointed out that money can be loan
ed by bank on time without short
ening up the means available for con-
tinuing to care for the needs of Gus
toners. The bank will always be in
position to rediscount loans with the
federal bank and thus secure further
funds to provide for additional cur
rent demands. 1t will not run ashore
for lack of being able to meet some
increase of business when such ac-
commodation is important to clients.
Of course, it is true that many con-
banks have never been in
the habit of taking advantage of re-
facilities, and perhaps
some of them may continue to show
reluctance about turning to this re-
source even under the new banking
plan. One of the foremost Chicago
bankers, however, Mr.. Reynolds, of
the Continental and Commercial
bank, points out that the rediscount-
ing facility is important and ought
to be taken on as a regular practice
in the interest of western business.
He announces that his bank will pur-
sue the practice, even if it has no
other purpose than to support the
of the facility. He urges
that the former policy be conformed
to the new system in this way It'is
generally felt that it will be to the
general advantage not to be so depend
ent on the New York money market as
n the past, although its facilities will
naturally be turned to greater or less
account still.

survivors of that war. The curly
headed boys who went so cheerfully
forth to battle, are now grey headed
men. 1T will not be many more
years before taps will sound for the
last of these heroes heroes every one
Of them; it will be but few years
more until we of this generation will
follow the path that all mankind must
tread. 1t is the nature of things.
But though in flesh they be all gone,
their spirit will be ever with us, and
with the generations to come; history
will never forget their deeds of valor !;
future generations will ever remember
their grand triumph; God will reward
them for their courage, We, the peo-
pie of today, owe these survivors a
duty. We must look after them in
their old age; protect them when in
firm; see that want does not face
their loved ones when they have an
swered the last roll call. God, in
his infinite wisdom, gave them the
privilege of saving for us free and
united country; God gives us the priv
ilege of showing them our gratitude,
and our gratitude should be shown
in deeds, not words
To you, the survivors of that great
war, who sit before me today, and
represent as you do not only those
who fought and still live, but also
those $4,000 or more who fought and
died for the sake of our beloved coun-
try, | want to say few words in
conclusion. We love you for the
deeds you so nobly performed; we
love you for the sacrifices you so
made; for each pain you
suffered; for each obstacle you over
came; for each drop of blood you
shed; for each defeat you took so
calamity; and for each victory you
bought so dearly, we owe you debt
Of gratitude that we can never repay.
Individually, you will probably be
forgotten when the waves of time
nave rolled over our heads, but your
leeds will live on forever, and your
lcts will be the shining star that will
,ver guide our ship of state onward
md upward to the highest pinnacle
If honor, patriotism, and fame.

A Patriotic People.

But when it comes to a matter of
war with a foreign enemy, We are
as patriotic today as were our an
cestors. Just as our fathers and
grand-fathers were willing to fight to
defend their flag in 1861 to 1865, so
are the sons and grand-sons today
ready and willing and anxious to
fight for their country. A striking ex-
ample of this is shown right here in
our own midst. In 1864, our fellow
townsman, H. P. Shriver, enlisted in
the Union ranks here in Dallas and
served to the end of the war. Just
fifty years from that time, his grand
son, Charles Woods, enlisted in the
local company of the Oregon National
Guard in anticipation of being sent to
Mexico to uphold the dignity of Uncle
Sam.
Iwould be derelict in my duty here
today if l concluded without adding
a word of praise to those dear moth
ers, wives, sisters, and sweethearts
of the days of the Civil war. Their
sacrifice was just as great, their her.
oism as grand. their patriotism as
wonderful, as that of the sons, hus-
bands, brothers, and sweethearts who
went forth to do actual battle. They
sent their loved ones away with
a smile of encouragement, though in
secret their hearts were breaking.
Throughout the whole war, they were
patient. Each battle carried its mes
sage of sorrow to the homes of those
left behind. Their sorrow was great;
but it was a sacred sorrow, and one
Of which they could well feel proud.
They seraped lint, and made. bandages
for their armies on the firing line.
They cared for and nursed the sick
and wounded. They titled the soil
md harvested the grain in many in
stances. They showed themselves to
be American citizens in every sense
If the word. All praise to the wo-
men of the North.

MUST BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAN
Hands Of Surgeon, Before Performing
Operations, Are Washed in Most
Thorough Manner.

Most people attribute the immense
~ decreased rate Of mortality in cases
OF severe surgical operations 10 the
increased skill OF the profession, to
their greatly improved instruments,
and the more skilful nursing which is
obtained in these days. But the sur
geon himself would tell you that it
is almost all a matter OF absolute
cleanliness, the fact that nothing is
left undone to insure absolute free
dom from infection OF any kind. This
fact is emphasized by the extraordi-
nary hand-washing regulations which
are in force at the various hos
pitfalls. Everybody who Is even re-
motely connected with an approach
ing operation is supposed to spend
20 minutes in the all.important proc
ess OF washing his hands.
For FIVE minutes the surgeon
washes his hands with soap and wa
ter, and then cleans his finger-nails
When he has done this he spends
another FIVE minutes doing 1t all over
again. But this is but preparation
for a third and far more drastic abb
luton, for this time he must wash
his hands in alcohol, Not content with
this cleansing process, he must now
put his hands through process of
sterilization by soaking them for at
least FIVE minutes in wash Of corro-
sive sublimate. BY that time he may
commence his duties, which mean life
or death TO some patient, with the sat.
isfactory feeling that he has done
his best TO approach his task with
clean hands.

"Doughluts.
Ned Travers shifted the air deli
ciously, smacLed his lips and peered
through the trees towards neat little
farmhouse on the edge Of the town.
From its kitchen there came con-
slant odorous steam. II made Ned
think OF home and mother in its pat

dough putting up into comely knobs
and rings. Then he saw through an
open window q dainty bustling young
lady with tucked up sleeves and

And then as the pretty maid set a

piled high with the creamy golden.

So he had little part in or claim

doughnuts would be a grand reward, ;"
suggested Ned, smiling. And because

Eva also how much he loved the max

TO HOLD SMALL ACCESSORIES
Excellent Idea for the Division Of Blu.
reau Drawers Into Suitable
Compartments

Old.fashioned bureaus and dressing
tables used to have supply Of small
drawers or else had the large top
drawer subdivided into convenient lit
tie compartments suitable as recepta-
cles for gloves, handkerchiefs and
other such small accessories which are
easily lost or mixed up.
The modern girl is expected to keep
supply OF fancy cretonnecovered
boxes on top OF her dresser to hold
these articles, but as such boxes soon
soil or become oyercrowded 1t has re-
NAMED for somebody to invent a de-
tachable wooden framework, bottom
less and lidless, which may be covered
with cretonne and laid in the drawer.
A homemade contriyance on the
same order may be manufactured at
home b. means of number Of shallow
cigar boxes or even strong pasteboard
boxes OF uniform size stitched or
tackled firmly together and covered
with cretonne, If cigar boxes are used
they must be thoroughly aired and
scented to remove the fragrant aroma
which, while pleasant, is hardly suit

cessories. Such a set OF boxes, how.
ever, will make nice gift for a man
to hold ties, handkerchiefs and trink-
cts.
If the framework is manufactured at
home, 1t should measure not more than
eighteen inches long by twelve wide,
and the compartments can be gagged
by what they are intended to hold.
