LORD TALKS CURRENCY
Local Banker Says Success or Failure
Depends on Federal Reserve Board.

Declaring that the success or failure
of the new currency law rests almost
entirely on the capability and manage
ment of the federal reserve board of
directors who have general supervi-
sion of the whole system, c. J. Lord,
president of the Capital National bank
of this city, explained the workings of
the new fiscal plan to one of the most
representative gatherings of business
and professional men Olympia has seen
for long time, at the January meet
ing of the Mems club of st. Johns
Episcopal church last Tuesday even.
ing.
The speaker was listened to closely
by the rs men present who interrupted
him frequently, as he desired, to dis
cuss various points of the measure as
they were reached in his address and
the meeting was informal to the ex-
IRENE. Toward the close of the dis.
cussion lunch was served, consisting
of coffee, sandwiches and doughnuts,
and cigars were passed for those who
wanted to smoke.
In his introduction to the discussion
of the details of the new system, Mr..
Lord asserted that bankers were
agreed that there is from 80 to 80 per
cent. good in the measure and that 1t
was felt that the defects would be
amended as they were discovered. The
system offers the opportunity for a
wide expansion and imitation. he said,
but this could be controlled by the
federal reserve board. The panic of
1907 could not have happened under
this bill, he said.
He expressed his belief that the bill
would be of great assistance to the
country, praised particularly the asset
currency feature and told how, in the
re-discounting of various forms of
commercial paper, the federal reserve
banks would facilitate the business of
the country, 80 per cent. or more of
which is done by credit. The address
was particularly interesting and time
ly and Mr.. Lord was given hearty
vote Of thanks by those present.
For the first time in the two years.

DON'T BE DECEIVED.

A business man cannot afford to
give away $25,O00.OO. If he should is
sue a thousand due bills of the face
value of twenty-five dollars each and
give them to prospective customers
and then actually give each of them
an allowance of $500 on their pur-
chases, that would be giving away the
amount of $25,OOO.0O. If this was done
one who did not hold due bill would
have to be charged enough to make
good the loss. If the price was boosted
to cover the alleged face value of the
due bill the holders would simply be
baited by worthless piece of paper.
We have no outstanding due bills so
our prices are right to everyone.
Don't be fooled by cheap advertising
schemes. They are never gotten up in
the interest of the people, but for the
profit of their promoters.

Announcement was made this week
of the reorganization of the Crescent
Oil company, which has been under
way for some time, so that Emery G.
Williamson of this city becomes treas
urer of the company and will handle
all expenditures. Actual drilling on
the company's prospect near Tenino
is expected to begin shortly, as the ma
chinery will be shipped from Portland
this week and the derrick is already
constructed. Reports that oil sands
and natural gas seepages are being
encountered constantly in the con-
struction of the Yelm irrigation ditch
strengthen the belief that it is only a
question of a short time until oil will
be discovered in the county.
Reports current last week that the
Vancouver and Seattle land offices
would be consolidated with the Olym-
pia office at Olympia and that ]. E.
Daley would be appointed register of
the consolidated Office at salary of
$4,000 a year, brought such storm of
protest from the other cities that a
later report this week says the inter
Tor department has decided not to
make the change.
After being shut down just one day
more than two months to rebuild that
portion which was destroyed by fire,
the Innovation Single company's mill
on the water front resumed operations
Wednesday, giving employment to 20
men. The mill, which has a capacity
Of 225,000 shingles day, is owned by
Andrew McCann and has been operat-
cd continuously since its establish
ment, except for the time in which re.
pairs were made after the fire which
destroyed the dry kiln.
Out of the 1,112 arrests made in
Olympia during 1918, 1872 were for
drunkenness, according to the report
OF Chief of Police w. P. Vance in
which he called attention to the un.
sanitary condition of the city's streets
and recommended that dogs be pro.
hibited from running at large. He also
recommended the licensing of automo.
biles and taxicabs for hire, these not
being included in the present ordi-
nance covering drays, truck and ex.
press wagons.

srer and the assistant treasurer and

A NEW CAMPAIGN
TO BE OPENED IN
MAINE ON NOV. Is
Not Political, but Community
Efficiency Conference"
Starts 1t

In Augusta Nov Is, IA, and Is, con;
vention Is to be held for the Inaugural
ton of an entirely new campaign in
the State Of Maine. The hundreds OF
delegates who will attend will have as
their slogan: Making the Home
Town, Home-like.''
This caption may not be emblazoned
on silk banners in letters OF guilt, but
1t will be in the minds of the delegates
just the same. Those at the conven-
ton may not speak these words, either,
but they will mean them when they
discuss Community Efficiency 1t
Is going to be a community efficiency
convention and it has, or will have
in mind, the Improvement of the towns,
villages and sites of the State so that
they will be made better places in
which to live, not only civicly. but
economically, sanitarily, educationally
and religiously.
That looks as IL the convention had
a whole lot OF work cut out for itself.
It certainly has. It doesn't propose
to do It all at this one session. AS a
matter Of fact, 1t doesn't propose to
do any Of these things at this meeting.

'he pastor and Besides he plays big
part in the civic and business of the
town. 1t has been through his efforts
that many of the improvements have
been made.
Jackman got it's name from the first
settler. 1t was a township for many
years following 1870 and has been a
plantation but few years. BuKlike
the boy it has blossomed into big size
in a short time and is now the size of
one of the larger towns of the county.
The place has four hotels 20 stores,
about Is manufacturing places, a tele
phony company and representatives of
all professions and officials that make
up a tirst-class town. 1t has a hustling
class of business men, by nature good
workers and always wanting to see
things grow. The county has recently
built a new steel bridge across Moose
river, SO that now the Moose River
Plantation and Jackman are practi-
cally one village and the two places
will be in short time among the big
gest towns in the county.

brought to their attention and who
have helped to solve them.
To anyone who has studied this
question it is evident that communi-

strong competition and that to the
most efficient community will go the
greatest reward. In no other state in
the Union are the different commune
ties surrounded with greater opportun-
tiles or beset with greater difficulties
than in the State of Maine. 1t is to
take advantage of these opportunities
and to remove the difficulties that the
conference has been called. After the
big meeting is over, those who have
attended will go to their own towns
and Cities explain what the new move
ment is, and then there will be hun
dreds enlisted in the new cause which
is sure to be one Of the biggest propo-

ever conceived.
