As we said in advertisement of August 16th Cit is very good these days to be an American'' During this month our country has encountered a trying experience in which our finances our for eign trade and even our domestic business have been disturbed by the sudden and tremendous wars in ancestral countries.
 Yet, we coming out of it well.
 The President with his cabinet and the Congress and the cooperation of bankers and business men called to Washington for the purpose, have promptly and nobly met the emergency by sensible rulings and wise laws, which will largely free our industries and commerce from restraint They have arranged for the issuance of emergency currency, through amendment of the Aldrich- Vreeland law, under which national banks can ob- tain all the currency needed for legitimate busi- ness. They have organized the Federal Reserve Board which will insure the opening of the 12 new Fed eral Reserve Banks inside of 60 days, thus giving ample banking facilities for business to every sec tion of our country
 They have amended the ship registry laws so that American capital will buy foreign ships which, to- gether with the large number of ships already owned by Americans will fly the flag of the Unit ed States and furnish ample carrying capacity for our foreign trade
 They have opened the Panama Canal and thus pro vlded shorter routes for our commerce with South America, Australia and the Far East They have under consideration plan of financing the surplus cotton crop that our southern plant will be enabled to hold their cotton until nor maj markets restored
