FEW CLEARING HOUSE
CERTIFICATES IN USE.
Issue This Year. Believed LarU-
est in History. Now Mostly
Cancelled.
EMERGENCY DANGER GONE

IL was definitely established yesterday
that the amount OF Clearing House Ger.
thcates taken out by the New York
banks following the closing OF the Stock
Exchange was considerably in excess OF
the amount taken in 1907. At that time
the banks took out gross issue OF sl0i.-
O6O,OOo. the maximum amount outstand-
ing at any one time being $500 900
on December Is. 1907.
a member of the Clearing House conf
mittee said yesterday that the banks
were retiring their certificates very rap,
idly and II was expected that an an
pouncement in regard to the total value
represented would be forthcoming shortly.
In 1907 IL was found necessary for sew
eral OF the stronger banks to form a sort
OF a pool and take over some OF the
Clearing House certificates of the weaker
banks on pro rata basis. the weaker
banks being In such condition that they
were unable to retire all of their out
standing certificates. such an cmer-
gency measure will not be necessary this
year, IL is said on the best authority.
An indication that the amount OF Clear
ing House certificates now outstanding
was very small was shown yesterday by
the statement OF an officer OF "A leading
Tuesday the amount OF Clearing House
certificates received by his bank from
other banks amounted to only $500. 900.
Yesterday there was reduction to a
figure not much larger than 100000.
In 1907 Clearing House certificates
were out here l54 days. in 1908 1873 days
and so far this year 20 days. In 1898
the aggregate issue OF Clearing House
certificates was Sal. $4,000 and the maxi
mum amount outstanding at any one
time was s3S $50 600
II Is OF course natural that purely COM
mercial banks would have their Certid-
Gates outstanding a longer time than the
so-called Wall Street banks. The COM
mercial banks would have their funds in
commercial paper and other investments
which do not mature as rapidly ~ do
some OF the obligations held against ac-
comnodatons of other banking lnstltu-
tions.
In 1907 CLEARING House certificates
were issued AGAINST - per cent OF the
market value OF the security offered and
the interest charged was per cent. The

House certificates In 1907 was - per

GOLD BAR PREMIUM IS RAISED.
Charge Increased From Z 10 Cents
Per 500.

The United States Assay Ofhcr has
raised the premium on gold bars from
cents TO . cents per 800. Four cents
has been the regular charge for some
time and il intended to cover tho expense
connected with refining. Tho premium has
been as high as 10 cents per 500. At the
local assay office it was believed that the
Treasury Departments reason for rails
ing the premium was the recent expense
of gold transfers from one Government
depository to another,
The higher premium makes slight
a lfference in the gold export point, which
il advanced to 4.s96j for bars At the
present time there 8 a difference Of about
points between the gold bar shipment
and the gold coin shipment point to
Canada. Not long ago the Government
dopositod some very recently minted coin

It's full wolsht, brought the shipping point

ganlZatlOn. Sentiment is with the
Feds. Better use it.
Unions and ReIigion.-Mr. Perlee
in his letter to you asks for my def
milton of religion. When 1 wrote you
that | thought the unions needed
more religion, l understand religion
to be a belief binding the spiritual
nature of a man to a supernatural
being on whom he is conscious that
he is dependent.
Now when a man believes that he
is dependent on supernatural being
he tries to do what he considers that
he ought to do according to what he
knows of this supernatural being. In
my own case l can say with the
prophet Micah, What doth the Lord
require of thee but to DO justly and
to LOVE mercy and to WALK hum
bly, with thy God" Another defni-
ton of religion is given in the New
Testament. Pure religion and Unde-
filed before God and the Father is
this: To visit the fatherless and wild
ows in their affliction and to keep
himself unspotted from the world.
The other day l talked with a work
ing man about unions, He said: ''If
you attended a union meeting you
would not find that everyone present
had on UniOn-made hats or clothes or
shoes. If the unions had store on
the cooperative plan the union men
would not patronize it. -
l am, sorry if this be true and I
think that if the union men had more
religion they would want to wear Un-
ion-made clothes, eat union-made
food and patrOnize union enterprises.
I know that religious factiOnalism
is doing the unions and many other
organizations a great deal Of harm,

ONE MANS OPINIONS
}. COCHRAN.

BY N. D. COCHRAN.
The Federal League.-If the men
back of the Federal baseball league
understand their business they will
win out in the battle with organized
ball.
The big attendance at opening
games shows that the fans start the
season in sympathy with the Feds.
This is not surprising. There is
some romance about the new league
and very little about the old ones.
Organized baseball had become too
much of coId-blooded business pro-
position. Players were bought and
sold like slaves. One-sided contracts
were dictated by the magnates of the
baseball trust. The new league gave
players a show for their white alley
2 and fans have affection for players
and little or none for owners.
Before the revolt there were too
many bosses in baseball. Garry Herr
mann and Ban Johnson had too much
power The national game was too
thoroughly cOmmeTcialized. Syndi-
cate ownership was growing The
two big leagues bossed all lesser and
minor leagues. Alien ownership was
growing like Taft's ownership of
Cubs, Charlie Somers' ownership, of
Cleveland, Toledo, Portland, New Or
leans and other cities. ..
Taft missed his opportunity when
he had a chance to sell to COnnery
and other Chicagoans. He may rea-
lie it. now. The attendance at the
opening game of the Cubs must have
been an eye-opener. Look at the at
tendance and enthusiasm at the Fed
opening on the North Side.
But the Fed promoters are slow.
They are losing their big chance.
They could grab off many of the shin
lest stars in the game. The reserve
clause is knocked out, but the old

big war fund and are Tightening their
lines.
Now is the time for the Feds to cut
loose while they have the fans with
them, and the players are anxious to
go-if they can be assured there is
enough money back of the Feds to
carry the fight through.
Sentiment is a big thing in this
world. Rightly used it will beat or
ganizatiOn. Sentiment is with the
Feds. Better use it.

Reflections

Contributed by Development Bureau)
One of the important events
scheduled for Southwest Louisi-
ana within the next five weeks
is the great annual convention Of
members and friends of the
Southwest Louisiana Develop
ment Bureau.
This meeting will close the
first years work of the Bureau
and open the second year of eff
fort. Nc member of this bureau
should permit himself to miss
this meeting, and everybody. who
is interested in the welfare of
Southwest Louisiana should make
it a point to attend.
The meeting will take place at
some central point and at a date
due notice will be given through
the press of the district.
In addition to the election of
officers it is proposed to hold a
two days institution in which
distinguished authorities will dis
cuss questions of vital interest to
the farmers and business men of
the state. Live stock, lespedeza,
crimson and red clover, COW peas
and forage crops generally, silos
and cattle tick, will probably be
the lines along which the discus
sions will be had.
No matter what your occupa-
ton or profession may be you
can't afford to miss this great
rally of Southwest Louisiana men
who will assemble to see that
Southwest Louisiana shall occupy
the high position agriculturally
and commercially to which she is
entitled.
AS soon as date and place have
been announced put it down in
your note book and make up your
mird to be on hand to help make
the meeting a notable one.

which that stalk produced.
Herein lies the value of select
ing the ear while in the field. It
is better to select one ear from a
strong stalk producing three
medium-sized ears than to get it
from a stalk bearing only one
very large ear. Three medium
ears per stalk will produce about
two and a half times per, acre as
one big ear per stalk will produce.
