BUCKWHEAT AND SAUSAGE.
THE Shenandoah World 7

THE Shenandoah World
Sheakespear, who was pretty
smart fellow but who could never have
made living running 4 country news
paper-being more Of writer than a
collector and too prone to correct Eng
ilsh-said something once about the
citizens who. having no love for music
IN MS soul, must be good candidate
for the red flag and bomb throwing
brigade.
II Mr.. Shakespeare had lived in a
day when he could have tried Will
Patterson's country sausage and
bought good grade of buckwheat,
he must have been too smart a
man to go to music for such an illus
tration. He would have SAID that man
having no appreciation of buckwheat
and sausage were At for the Bernard
McFa dden class or the DOCTOR OF
course they are unhealthy--what is
there worth eating that Isn't according
TO the best magazine writer's?
Delicious. Drowned, light. SOULS
Tying buckwheat and fresh, well sea-
soned country sausage cooked to Just
a suggestion of crispness-is there
anything that could be more delightful
to healthy appetite? Untouched by
modern PREPARATIONS, anharmed by
hifalutin notions Of flavoring and i'm
lnune from the dangers Of being packed
IN an alright tin or crammed in
germ proof pasteboard box-as most
OF the old fashioned delicacies are-it
is Just exactly the same now as mother
and grandmother and great grand
mother used to make and tastes the
same only better.
II is the one chance on these sharp
winter mornings to go back fifty years
and enjoy tho same advantages that
our fathers used to; and regardless OF
health fads, dyspepsia or ridicule the
writer and hundreds Of other red
FLOODED men will eat 'em-lots OF 'em
all we get-just as long as our wives
or our neighbors will cock them.
CLEAR WAY FOR STATE BANKS
[sioux City Tribune.]
Some anxiety IL felt in Iowa bank
ing circles over-gthe suggestion that
our state ,banlsx may not become af.
filiated with the new federal reserve
system on account Of Iowa statutory
restrictions against any state bank
owning stock in another institution.
A number of Iowa state banks have
applied for membership in the new
system and 1t is assumed that the fed.
eral reserve board will accept all those
that are otherwise eligible, leaving
them to settle the question Of state
law restrictions with the state
1t is highly desirable for state banks
and their patrons to affiliate with the
reserve system. On this point the
Springfield Massachusetts, Republican
says:
State banks and trust companies
may enter the new federal reserve
banking system. or stay out. With
them it is entirely a matter of pre-
ference. That the great body of them
will join, sooner or later seems prac-
tically assured.
The public will want them to join,
in the first place. The public remcn:-
bers that the failure Of the Knicker-
booker Trust company of New York
a state institution, precipitated the
panic Of 1907. If the new federal re-
serve system viii prevent moderate
panics. the public will want all banks
y<ether state or national, to become
members Of it.
The customers of state banks and
trust companies, in the second place,
will want them to join in order that
they may be protected against abnor-
malIy curtailed credits through the re-
discounting facilities offered by the
regional banks to member banks. It
will be worth while for banks with
state charters. competing with national
banks. to be able to avail themselves
of the rediscounting privilege in per-
iods Of tight money"
There are a number Of states where
the regulations governing state banks
may stand in the way of joining in the
new currency system. The question Is
one for the early consideration by state
legislators. Obviously the restrictions
should be removed ut the earliest OPP
portunity. A serious injustice will be
done to state banks il they find them
selves unable to employ the same priv
iliges and opportunities as private and
national banks under the currency law.
IS THE FARM OvERTAxED?
[Des Moines Register and Leader.J
Tnasmuch as we are to have the
whole winter for q debate over taxa
ton, which, on the whole, IL the most
for Iowa for long time, taxation be-
ing more worth intelligent study than
anything that is before the people. 1t
may be as well to come at once to
the nub of the Iowa situation and
ask ourselves whether farms are over
taxed.
Not long ago Bernard Murphy Of the
Vinton Eagle gave concrete illustra-
ton Of the relative burden OF farm
taxes as compared with taxes on
moneys and credits under the new law.
Here are his figures:
