talk about losses on account
of the practices of a certain
real estate dealer who recently
filed a petition in bankruptcy,
showing losses to creditors Of
nearly St5O,OOO.OO.
Had these parties required
abstracts or title insurance pol

much of this loss would not
have occurred. Let us show

An Efficiency Hen.

A local chicken raiser is doing
some extensive experimenting this sea.
son. He says he is going to perfect
''full efficiency hen." His train
ing in other lines has de-
veloped in him the desire for com
pleteness of service in everything he
undertakes. He has figured il
out about like this: That if he
takes Rhode Island Red, which lays
an egg every day, and crosses it with
a great grey owl, which is said to
lay an egg every night, he will have
what chicken fanciers have long been
looking for, fowl that will lay both
day and night. Of course some OF
our readers may boot at this idea,
but then you never can tell.

not yet been filed, it is certain tina
more than forty of Wisconsin s
seventy-two counties will make ex-
hibits at the coming fair. The time
for filing is usually the latter part
of July or early in August, but we
feel sure of many entries because the
counties have already made appro-
priations of from $500 to 81, 900 for
exhibits, and have sent to me for in
formation, stating that they intend to
make exhibits this year.
County exhibits at the state fair,
it is pointed out by many, serve a
two-fold purpose of adding greatly to
the attractiveness of the state fair,
and at centering attention upon those
counties which make noteworthy dis
plays.

SHORT SUMMARY
Of CURRENCY BILL
Oklahoma Senator Gives De-
sGription of Bill.

Scarcely any piese of legislation
has attracted so much attention Of
late years as tie new Currency bill
With all the talk pro and con re-
gardirg the desirability of tn s cur
rency move, the summary of what
the bill is by Robert L. Owen, Sena-
tor from Oklahoma, viii give many
people their first linking as TO just
what the bill is and what it lis in
tended to accomplish.
Here is a description of tie cur
rency bin as it past the Senate writ
ten for the chairman of the Senate
Banking and Currency Committee, by
Robert l. Owen, United States Sen
alter from Oklahoma:
The banking and currency bill is
the most important piece OF Iegisla-
ton since the war. 1t provides a
plan for concentrating the reserves
of 25 900 banks into the most gigan-
tic banking association in the world
1t provides the mobilization Of
these bank reserves thus keeping
them liquid and quickly available in
to cash
1t provides for the issuance Of
elastic currency thru federal re
serve notes, which may be obtained
on the security Of commercial bills
Of short maturities.
1t establishes an open discount
market, which America has never had
and in this open discount market
will be found place where CONNER
cial bills and commercial paper can
| be discounted. at a.: tin as at low
rates Of interest.
1t provides for safeguarding the
two percent bonds.
1t will stabilize the commercial,
financial and industrial cond tons
of the United States.
1t establishes foreign branch banks
to take care OF our foreign commerce
| 1t extends a strong helping hand
to the farmers and producers of the
country, and will be very valuable to
businessmen, as we'll as to the
| bankers themselves.
The system is under the. supervfs-
DRY control of the government thru
a federal reserve board, with full
power to fix the interest rates, con
troll the elastic currency or federal
reserve notes, examine the banks
and remove officers or directors of
any fdeeral bank.
The system viii start with $685.
O00, 900 of capital and will, i'm two
years, have over $500 OO0,O 900 of re-
serves and probably $200,000,000 OF
government funds distributed thru
from eight to twelve banks, adjusted
to serve conveniently and sympa-
theticaIly every section of the coun-
try.
