Individuals viii Cease Because of
Faith in Financial Institutions.
New York, Dec. 4.-Panic, due to
distrust of banks, has been relegated
to the museum of antiquities by the
new reserve banking system, in the
opinion of G. S. Hamlin, governor OF
the federal reserve board, voiced in
speech before the New York
Chamber of Commerce.
"The federal reserve system will
relegate to it's proper place, the mu-
scum of antiquities, the panic gener-
ated by distrust in our banking sys-
tenn, leading to struggle of self
preservation between bank and bank,
and individual and individual and ulti-
mate boarding by the people," Mr..
Hamin asserted "Such boarding
usually follows boarding by the banks
and does not precede it. If boarding
by banks should cease, boarding by
individuals would never occur, and
both, l believe, will be relegated to
obscurity under the federal reserve
system"
Mr.. Hamlin does not think that all
panics will be done away with, of ne
cessity, by the new system.
Checks Undue Expansion.
'If, in the future business expands
unduly under the spirit Of speculation,
the day of reckoning surely will come
in the future as it has in the past"
he said. undue expansion will cor
rect itself, just as the air bubble ulti-
mately will burst. | believe, however,
that the federal reserve banking sys-
tenn materially will check undue ex-
pansion.
1T is a fact, however, that even
under the federal reserve system the
banks still have it in their power to
permit, if not to encourage, undue
speculative activity; and if they do
this, the inevitable result-commer-
cial stringency-must follow. When,
however, the state banks and trust
companies of the United States join
the federal reserve system q hope in
the near future) even that possibility
will be minimiZed greatly"
Samuel Rea, president Of the. Penn
sylvania railroad, asserted that the
Eastern railroads earned less than 4
per cent during the past year on the
money invested in them.

culiar position for time. :
This has made necessary the re-
forming of the Russian center in Po-
land. There has been lull in the
fighting as a result, but it is now de-
clared the Russians again present a
solid front and are prepared to press
a vigorous attack.
It is explained the failure of Cen
eral Rennenkampf to arrive on sched-
uled time with his command when the
Germans were all but trapped is re-
sponsible for failure of the Russians
to gain victory of great proportions.
Rennenkampf has been relieved of
his command.
Reinforcements continue to arrive
for the Germans. Some of these
forces are coming from Belgium, ac
cording to reports.

BACK TO BOYLAND.

It's a long way back to boyland,
Where the voices sing and call,
But it is not so far in autumn,
When the ripened chestnuts fall;
When the chinquapins are open,
And the paw-paws ripe and sweet,
Then l go bac kinto Boyland,
AS if wings were on my feet.
To Boyland, dreaming Boyland,
Where the voices sing and call
Through the golden mists of autumn
When the ripened chestnuts fall.
We forget the old road often
And the dust of toll and strife
Hides the valley of its magic
In the later years of life;
But it's not SO hard to find it
When again you chance to see
The ripe persimmons hanging
On the old persimmon tree;
To Boyland. loved old Boyland,
With its music and its thral,
When the frost has kist the pumpkins
And the ripened chestnuts fall!
1t makes our old limbs tremble
When we think sometimes how far
The road runs back to Boyland
And its shining morning star;
But the loved abode of memory
Draws so close, SO close again,

NOT ALL DESERVING.

Every man who asks for aid on the
ground that he is out of work does
not deserve it. A Mississippi plant
er who was in Memphis the other day
was appealed to by big husky for
assistance. The planter told him that
he could give employment to several
men, and that if he would meet him
at the train in the evening, and bring
a dozen more with him, he would give
them transportation, give them COM
Portable accommodation and good
board and pay fair wages for the
work which he had to do. This same
proposition was made to several 9TH
er beggars, but not one showed up at
train time. They all seemed to be
out of work because work was out or
them Memphis Scimitar.

A FRIEND TO HRLP.

Do you desire a pleasant day?
If you would find it the surest way,
Do something for somebody;
A gentle act-some loving deed
Something to help another's need
Something kind fol- somebody.
When skies are frowning chill and
gray,
And clouds of care obscure life's way,
Still try to help somebody;
Peace, from our hearts may Danish
doubt,
To bring this miracle about,
Do something for somebody.
Would you have cause to sing and
smile?
Do good, not evil, all the while,
And try to help somebody
Another's sorrows soothe, and bless,
This is the road to happiness
Be kind to everybody.

WOMAN'S DRESS.

How long will Christian mothers
allow their daughters and their neigh
bors' daughters go untaught in regard
to dress? 1t is extremely interesting
to study the why's and wherefores of
this fad of all fads; this terrible
maria for fashion. regardless of what
the Scriptures teach relative to such
important, yet unheeded admonitions.
have pondered seriously over writ
ing on this subject and wondered if
there is any possibility of accomplish
ing any particular results. | am per-
suaded that among the readers of this
paper there are some who may be
benefited in having brought to their
minds some things relative to the
fashions of dress which have been so
scrupulously adhered to by Christian
women for years.
We need not add that this fashion
is followed by Christians only when
decency is maintained, for all serious
thinking people understand that the
more suggestiveness to the opposite
sex the fashion has, the more it will
please and make happy the adherents.
I really think women are going
fashion mad" 1t is either this or
they are allowing themselves to re-
main Woefully ignorant of some very
important facts.
Why did the hobb1e skirt come into
fashion so abruptly?
How many of it's devotees do you
suppose could answer? Very few, I
am sure, or they would not have
adopted it's use.
In the United States cotton is the
staple crop and IS per cent of the
worlds production is raised here.
France, where nearly all the peculiar
and nonsensical fashions originate,
has silk for the staple crop. Silks
are high in price, cotton comparative
ly low, hence the diminishing sales
of silks because of the great amount
to make a woman's dress. The manu-
facturers of silk devised the scheme
and took into their custody some of
the aristocrats of Paris and the re-
suit is that three skirts may now be
made with the same number of yards
of silk originally required for one.
All can see readily that the poorer
classes began to make their skirts
silk, and as tight as could be worn
This then was the idea the manu-
facturers of silk had in mind, hence
an enormous increase of silk sales,
while that of cotton decreased.
Imagine the feeling of the cotton
growers when that mere tube of
cIOIn, the Mobile SKIRT, came INTO
fashion" Said Mrs. Robert j. Bur
dette, of Pasadena, CAL, in a speech
to the Women's Club in Chicago.

padding down the street with her
lower limbs almost bare over half
way up to the knee, and her arms
without covering, while her neck
seems to be amazingly long, not be-
cause it is, but due simply to the fact
that she needs the base covered.
What cares she? In order that
style may be followed she loses sight
of health and suggestiveness in the
mad rush of life and craze to be in
fashion.
Sometimes we see those who are
financially unable TO cater to the
whims of dame fashion and thus are
made unhappy because of a longing
that they cannot afford to have
filled. This leads to ruined and
blighted homes and even to the bar
tering of virtue itself.
So often the women have the mind
to be in style regardless of appear
ance, cost, modesty and all else, that
they are determined to carry it out
if indeed they land in perdition for so
doing.
Why wouldn't it be more sensible,
less costly, more satisfactory, to say
nothing of modesty and Christianity,
for women to adopt nice neat, be-
coming attire and let that be perma-
nent, not to change hats every month
or SO, and sizes and shapes of 9TH
er apparel in proportion, but as some
female colleges adopt a certain kind,
size and shape dress and let that suf-
flee for years.

be enclosed to be filled out and returned
and in this way Uncle Sam will act as
middleman without salary or profit.
These names will be sent to the pro-
ducers and business relations will thus
be established direct from farm to table.
Instructions are furnished as to the
method by which the foodstuffs may be
shipped, the postal charges and the rules

sumers have been brought together by

to arrange the prices. The success Of
this plan depends on both sides in the
bargain. Neither should expect to gain

of the middleman. So far hundred pro-
ducers in and near Denver have sub
mitted their names and signified their
willingness to adopt the new scheme.
