FOR IMMEDIATE
RESULTS.

A number of Iowa's foremost, ag-
gressive and progressive men have at
their own expense of time and money
traversed the state to impart their
enthusiasm to our citizens for a
greater Iowa.
| Their patriotism is to be admired,
their unselfish work is to be COM
mended and their example should be
emulated. Greater Iowa is their
watch word, let 1t be ours and yours.
In this connection, Iowa now has
! the opportunity to secure two mem
bers of the board of directors Of the
Federal Reserve bank OF Chicago.
This Regional bank, one Of the
twelve in the United States under the
new banking act, will have nine d.
rectors. 1t will have something over
900 member banks of which total
number there are approximately $40
in Iowa.
There are more member banks In
Iowa than in any other state in the
district OF the Chicago bank. Illinois
comes next, but Iowa has more than
Illinois and has more than all the
members put together in the states Of
Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.
All Of Iowa is in the Chicago dis
trict. Only parts of Illinois, In
diana, Michigan and Wisconsin are in
the Chicago district.
The directorate of the Chicago
bank will be composed Of nine men.
Three of them, Class "a" are to be
bankers to be elected by the member
banks OF the Chicago district
Three of them. Glass "B", are to
bankers, and are to be elected by
the member banks of the Chicago
district.
Three of them, Glass "C'', are to
be appointed by the federal reserve
board
The member banks OF the Chicago
district are divided into three groups:
Group l includes all member banks
whose capital and surplus is $4,000
and over.
Group 2 includes all member banks
whose capital and surplus is s55, 900
and less than $4,000.
Group 3 includes all member banks
whose capital and surplus is less
than $4,000.
Each group in the Chicago district
votes for two members of the direc-
torate, one of Glass "a" and one of
Class "B".
The reasons why Iowa should have
two directors on the board:
First: Iowa is the only entire state
in the district.
Second: Iowa has over one-third
of the member banks in the district.
Third: Iowa's production from her
diversified manufacturing industries
added TO her immense production of
farm products will show a greater
production than any other state that
is in the Chicago district.
Member banks in Iowa are taking
a ballot to concentrate on one candi.
date for Glass CA, Groupe 8, and
Iowa should get behind that candi-
date with all her initiative force and
Influence, putting up solid front
with lowa's vote and getting recruits
from outside the state wherever pos
sible
Iowa has only one candidate for
Glass ''B' director and that is in
Group and the man is NJ. B. Hutchi
son of Ottumwa

1t is curious that the Fourth of July
has become the American day of cele-
bration. since it was on July 2 that
congress passed the really important

Fourth only saw the adoption of the

JOHN X. TENER
The Dominating Figure in Big
League Baseball

International News Service, by Frank
G. Menke.
New York, Sept. 25.-John K.
Tener has proven to be a second
Moses. He has led the National
League from out of the state of quar-
rels, pickering and near-dissolution
to the promised land of good for
tune, peace and harmony.
Tener today is the dominating fig
ure in baseball. What Tener says
goes, whether his utterance concerns
merely his own league or the Nation
al Baseball Commission, the govern
ing body of organized baseball. Mag
mates of not only the National League
but of the American and minor
leagues as we'll follow Tener's lead
and follow it bIndly, if occasion de-
mands. They have confidence in his
judgment, his leadership and his
fairness.
Less than a year ago Tener assum-

which he has been able to give only
part of his time to the affairs OF
baseball, he has demonstrated that
the National League magnates made
master stroke when they induced
him to take the job.
Tener is still governor of the state
of Pennsylvania. That job expires
on December 81. Holding two jobs
at one and the same time is mighty
task, but Tener has been equal to
the occasion.
During the past year the National
League has passed through the Sec
ond great crisis of it's history. The
Federal League has been menace
1t threatened to disrupt many of the
teams of the old league. A few
false moves here and there and the
National League would have beer
dealt terrific blow. But Tener, at
irving a bit late on the scene tool
charge of the situation and saw to i
that no false moves were made.

Epictetus, the philosopher, was
lame. When he was a young man
his master had twisted his leg until
it broke. Epictetus writes: do you
think that because my soul happens
to have one little lame leg that / am
to ind fault with Gods universe?
Ought we nct when we dig. when we
pillow, and when we eat, TO sing this
hymn to God, because he has given
us these implements whereby we may
till the soil? What else can 7
do, who am lame old man, except
sing praises TO God?"
