LOUISIANA MEDALLION DAY, DEC. S.

The exposition officials at San Fran
cisco have accepted plans and specif-
cations for the Louisiana building and
work will commence just as soon as
the contract can be let. The Louisiana
Society of California, comprising more
than a hundred Louisianians, are very
enthusiastic over the idea of having
Louisiana represented at this great
exposition, and have offered their SER
vices to do anything possible to make
the exhibit success.
This is an opportunity for Louisiana
to advertise her wonderful resources
to America and every Louisianian
should make it his individual business
to see that Louisiana takes proper
advantage Of 1t. A second-class exhibit
would be of less than no value The
exhibitors at the Louisiana State Fair
at Shreveport were very generous with
the commission, furnishing two car
loads of splendid agricultural exhibits.
These exhibits have been shipped to
New Orleans and are now being put
in shape for shipment to California.
Other exhibits are being sent in every
day and it is expected that by January
first this will be one of the most COM
plete exhibits ever shipped from the
state.
The first five thousand allotment of
medalions has just been received and
are being distributed among the differ
ent banks over the state, who have
offered to dispose Of them. Every citi-
zen who is patriotic enough to invest
one dollar in this great advertising
campaign for Louisiana will purchase
one Of these medalions and preserve
it as badge of patriotic citizenship.
The women of the state have been ask
ed to take charge of this campaign for
selling medalions Committees are
now being formed for this work and it
is expected that every patriotic woman
in the state will be willing to help.
The Commission Council of New
Orleans have just appropriated $4,000
to this fund. This makes nine parishes
that have contributed, up to date. Many
others have it under advisement and
it is expected before the campaign is
completed that every parish in the
state will have subscribed. The Gov
ernor has issued a proclamation, set
ting aside Saturday, December 9Th, as
a special day for the sale of Louisiana
medalions. Every town and city in
the state will be asked to cooperate
in selling these medalions, and it is
hoped to raise, at least, $4,000.

HOME RECIPROCITY.
(The Progressive Farmer.)

A letter from a Southern farmer
says: 81 hauled load of hay to my
home town, but the merchants would
not even make me price on it. They
said, we don't want your wagon of
hag, because we buy our hay in car
load lots from the West. And yet they
say we do wrong when we send money
North and West to buy bargains from
mail order houses. We are simply
feeding them out of their spoon"
| Now we hope any merchant who
reads this article will not throw the
paper down and say the farmer was
wrong. It's case where merchant
and farmer should come together and
reason together. 1t seems to us rea.
sonable demand which farmers make
of merchants when they say, IF we
buy from your shelves, you buy from
merchants, yoU buy of Southern
farmers"
Here, it seems to us, is a great
chance for cooperation for the mutual
benefit of farmer and merchant 1t will
certainly help the merchant to keep in
the community the money which he
has been sending North and West for
meat, corn, oats, -four, hay, lard, etc.,
etc. His patrons will become richer
and give him larger trade.
And we repeat that it is the duty of
the merchant to encourage this result.
AS we have said before, the merchant
in the rural South has performed only
half his function when he has arrang-
ed for farmers to pay him profit on
what he has to sell. 1t is also his duty
to find market for what they have to
sell, and he cannot demand that they
serve him unless he also serves them.
And he ought to serve them not mere
ly in taking their cotton, service in
which he usually takes little trouble
and makes fair profit, but it will pay
him to serve them by finding markets
for farm products in cases where it
means that he must do intelligent and
active hustling to effect results.

METHOD IN PoLiTENEsS.

The way strong nations seem in
clined to treat weaker nations terri
tory reminds one OF the Harvard soph,
who said to his roommate:
Jim, lend me your evening clothes,
Will you? I'm going to a dance"
why, certainly" Jim replied. He
added In a mystitied tone, But why
all this ceremony about the borrowing
OF my evening clothes?"

the darn things anywhere"

NEW BANK SYSTEM


able. The Federal reserve banks may
discount acceptances based on the i'm
portation or expectation Of goods hav'
ing a maturity of not exceeding three
months.
| Among the other functions of the
Federal reserve bank are the clearing
of checks for members, buying and
selling of foreign exchange, receiving
OF government deposits and acting as
the fiscal agent of the government, etc
The Federal reserve banks may open
branches within their own district
Each branch must be operated by a
Board of Directors possessed of the
same qualifications as directors of the
parent bank. These powers will be
gradually adopted.
| An official Of the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington recently outlined
the method of doing business under
the new system, from which the fol-
lowing summary may be of interest:
A merchant purchases bill of goods
and pays for them with his note. This
note will be taken to the local bank,
which will honor this class of CONNER
cial paper and advance the money. The
bank will not be compelled to curtail
such an investment, because when the
occasion demands the paper can be
converted into cash by rediscount at
the reserve bank.
Realizing that it may be advisable to
reconvert its commercial paper into
cash, the member bank has an added
incentive in making only such loans
as are conservative and sound. On
the other hand, the reserve bank has
each member bank as customer, and
it is therefore interested in the trans.
actions of each member bank and in
the class of paper that each accepts.
A reserve bank in turn may desire to
call upon the government, when occa-
sion arises, for an issue of Federal
reserve notes. Commercial paper held
by the reserve bank must be placed
with the government in order to secure
such an issue.
The occasion can hardly arise when
member bank calls upon a reserve
bank for cash, offering commercial
paper for rediscount, only to find no
money in the reserve bank to accom-.
modate the call. A reserve bank is not
likely ever to run out of funds, ,as set
forth in the act.
One other feature of the new law
which will doubtless result in great
benefit to our foreign trade is the per-
mission given to the larger national
banks to establish branches in foreign
countries. Already one large institu-
ton has announced the opening of a
branch in South America, and doubt
less others will follow it's example.
Also. by being permitted to loan on
real estate, the national banks in the
country districts will be enabled to
render great deal of assistance to
the farmer, in way prohibited by the
old national bank act.

Monday, Nov. Is, wrote an important
page in the financial history Of the
United States, for, with the actual
opening Of the doors of the twelve
Federal reserve institutions in as many
monetary centers of the United States;
with the resumption of active and un-
restricted trading on the New York
Cotton Exchange and the New York
curb markets; and the announcement
that one by one the restrictions against
regular trading on the New York Stock
Exchange were being permanently re-
moved, there was ample justification
for Paul Warburg's happy designation
Of this day as "the great Fourth of July
in the economic life of the United
States" Coming generations will, in.
deed, hail this day as marking the
foundation of our financial and econ
omic emancipation.
One of the first great tasks under
taken by the Wilson administration
was the imperative duty of remodeling
and reconstructing our banking and
currency system. Eighteen months
have passed since the first steps were
taken toward the fulfillment of this
great duty and nearly eleven months
since Woodrow Wilson put the Federal
reserve act on the statute books on
Dec. %, 1913. The wide-open door Of
the new Federal banks, representing
the contamination of the plans and
efforts of two years, is regarded as the
beginning of the end of panic and
economic disorder in the United States
of America.
The paramount feature of the new
system is that it centralizes the bank
ing power of the country into twelve
districts in each of which is a Federal
reserve bank. These institutions hold
part Of the reserves of the member
banks and their chief function will be
the rediscounting of paper, thus giving
to the United States what it never had
before, a proper discount market, along
the lines Of the old-fashioned institu-
tons of Europe. The ultimate result
of this function will be to supply the
country with an entirely fresh supply
of money, the life blood of new enter.
prises and expansion.
Since the rediscounting of paper is
to be the principal function of the
central institution, the Federal Re-
serve Board at Washington recently
devoted itself to the question of prop
erly defining this commodity, and is
sued an extensive and extremely com.
prehensive statement on this subject.
1t ruled that the notes handed in for
rediscount may be single or double
name paper and must be issued or
drawn for a definite commercial pur-
pose. The maturity of such notes must
not exceed ninety days, except that
paper drawn for agricultural purposes
or based on live stock, may have a
maturity of not exceeding six months.
Notes or drafts covering, or for the
purpose of, trading in stocks, bonds or
other investments are not rediscount-

Right OF appeal in the Badders COM
pany bankruptcy case and upon the
filing Of q 5000 supersedeas bond,
was granted by the United States cir
cult court Of appeals sitting In st.
Louis Friday afternoon. It Is probable
that the order OF the court Will defer
final adjudication of the affairs OF the
Badders company pending action ON
the appeal OF the bankruptcy case to
the circuit court OF appeales.
The Badders company appeal to the
circuit court 10 based upon alleged
error and prejudice by the trial court
in the disposition Of the suit in Topeka
ten days ago. A reversal Of the ac-
ton Of the jury 10 asked on the ruling
Of Judge Pollock on objection flied
by Badders' attorneys: and claims
are made that Judge Pollock pre1u-
diced the minds Of the Jurors In his
final charge before submitting the
case. The jury found against the Bad

counts set forth in the petition in
involuntary bankruptcy.
the circuit court IL found to stay III

March ~.

March ~.
Six times previous to his present
tour, which IL under the direction Of
Loudon Charlton, Bauer has visited
the United States, and each appear
ance has strengthened his hold ON
American favor. In Europe his repu-
tatton was made long before he UNDER
took to win recognition in this coun-
try. He has given concerts in SO many
continental cities, that an admirer
lauGhingly has suggested that the
pianist's fame rest as much upon his
record as traveller. as his skill AZ q
musician. From Europe to South
America he has journeyed. returning
to England, Norway and Sweden and
his home in Paris, only to hasten back
to Spain, where he has filled engage
ments at many fashionable watering
places. Meanwhile he has been pre-
pairing himself for his American tours,
arranging his programs and extending
his repertoire. Bauer IL indefAtigable.
In his playing, the most noticeable
characteristics are his exquisitely con-
trolled temperament and his freedom
from. anything resembling display.
