Reserve Bank Cities Named UedeT

Washington, April 4.-Twelve cities
have been named as federal reserve
banks They are as follows:
l. Boston z. Chicago.
2. New York. S.iSt Louis.
8. Philadelphia 9. Minneapolis.
4. Cleveland. 10. Kansas City.
5. Richmond. II. Dallas.
g. Atlanta. 12. San Francisco.
District No. Z (the Chicago district
is described in full as follows:
District No z: The state of Iowa,
all that part of Wisconsin located
south of the northern boundary of the
following counties: Vernon, Sauk.
Columbia, Dodge, Washington and
Osaukee; all of the southern penin-
sula of Michigan, viz: That part east
of Lake Michigan, all that part of I'LL
nois located north of line forming
the southern boundary of the follow
ing counties: Hancock, Schuyler,
Cass, Sangamon, Christian, Shelby,
Cumberland and Clark, and all that
part of Indiana north of line form
ing the southern boundary of the fol-
lowing counties: Vigo, Clay, Owen,
Monroe, Brown, Bartholomew, Jen-
nings, Ripley and Ohio, with a fed
eral reserve bank located in the city
of Chicago. H.
This district contains 9S4 national
banks which have accepted the pro-
visions of the federal reserve act. The
capital stock of the federal reserve
bank of Chicago, on the basis of five
per cent of the total capital stock
and surplus of the asserting ma
tional banks amounts to S12,664,-
100; and if there be added six per
cent. of the total capital stock and sur
plus of the state banks and trust COM
panies which have applied for mem
bership up to April |, 1914, the total
capital stock will be $13,151,923.
The selections contain some sur
prises. 1t was not thought that both
Boston and Philadelphia would be
named The choice gives three re-
serve banks to a comparatively limi
tied area, in addition to the national
reserve board in Washington. Cleve-
lands conquest, over Cincinnati was
not expected. though the former city
now leads the latter in point of popu-
lation. Cincinnati is the older town,
has more wealth, and has enjoyed
superior financial prestige.
Dallas contest with New Orleans
was not taken seriously by bankers.
but the claims of the Texas city have
prevailed with the treasury officials,
who have seen advantages over New
Orleans unknown to the general finan-
cial community. In other respects the
locations chosen are considered salts
factory by fnanciers.

KEEP ONE KIND OF POULTRY
Thoroughbred Stock Costs No More to
Keep Than Mongrels-Unform-
ity Is Valuable Asset.

1t costs no more to keep good
straight thoroughbred stock than it
does to keep mongrels and there is
much more profit in it in the long run.
Breeding but one kind and constantly
trying to improve it means close
approach to uniformity in the stock
and it's product. Uniformity is avail
liable asset in the poultry market.
We often speak of natural meth
ods" and following nature. Well ma
ture, with mans help, makes the
thoroughbreds. If we should mix up
all varieties of chickens. isolate them
where other fowls could never get at
them and leave them alone to breed
together Unfortunately, the first re-
suit would be a stock of mongrels;
but the final outcome would be new
and uniform breed.
As we now have so many excellent
breeds already made, each potential
for as much improvement as any one

Is Clerk County Official?

Prospects of suit on the part of
the State Association of County Clerks
to test the law fixing the length OF
their terms are inviting. Attorneys
for the association have reached the
conclusion that the term should be
three instead of two years. The gen.
eral assembly two years ago tried to
make the term two years.s The ques-
ton now is raised whether the clerk
is a county official, the negative side
being taken by the counsel for the as
sociation, who insist that Article 16
of Section still controls and that the
clerks are entitled to three years.
Should this contention be upheld
there would follow general disar-
rangement of the election laws and
clerks in reality be chosen for four
years unless special statute was
passed for electing them in the ODD
numbered years when only municipa.
and township officials are chosen.

Akron. = Jesse Armstrong Of Bar
the Howard street station here,
was killed and Frank Moran, b. & O..
detective, was shot and seriously
wounded while on duty here by a
stranger who came into the station on
a freight train.
After shooting Armstrong and Mo-
ran the gunman turned the revolver
upon himself and sent a bullet
through his brain, causing almost In
slant death.
The triple shooting occurred when
Detective Moran attempted to arrest
the stranger for riding on the freight
train. In the chase the man turned
on Moran and fired, the bullet strik-
ing the detective in the leg.
GrappIes With Gunman.
Bent on escaping, the shooter con-
tinued his flight until he met Arm
strong. A hand-to-hand battle ensued
in which the stranger pulled the trig-
ger of his weapon again. Armstrong
was shot through the abdomen at
close range. He died four hours later
at the city hospital
Finding escape impossible, the
shooter held the gun to his own temple
and fired. The shooting attracted a
large crowd to the scene where the
three wounded men were lying short
distance apart. They we're rushed to
the city hospital, but the stranger sue
cumbed before the institution was
reached.
Came From Cleveland.
Police believe the man came from
Cleveland on the Baltimore & Ohio
freight train which arrived here at 8
p. m. He was riding on the bumpers
when discovered by Detective Moran,
who ordered him to get off. He
| jumped of, but failed to heed the de-
tective's order to stop" He opened
fire as he ran. Moran continued pur-
suit with the bullet in his leg until his
strength was exhausted
Railroad officials declare that Arm
strong had been one of the most
faithful men in their employ. He had
been with the company since July,
1918, and was highly trusted.
Moran's injuries are not serious.
