McAdoo's Order Will Cost National Institution $1,000
600 on January Means New System of Gov
eminent Finance-Expect O. K. of Bankers.

WAsInNGToN, Nov. 24-Secretary OF
tho Treasury McAdoo announced to-day
that he had decided to appoint the Fed
cral reserve banks as repositories and
fiscal agents Of the Government. The
banks will assume this function on Jan.
uary l.. 1915, as a result of tho exercise
by Secretary McAdoo OF tho discretion
placed In him by section 10 Of the re-
serve act.
Secretary McAdoo announced that as
II beginning funds OF tho Government
now on deposit with tho national banks
in each OF the cities where a reserve
bank Is located will be- transferred to
tho latter. This amounts to about
$4,000 90.
II IL expected that Mr.. McAdoo'a ac-
ton viii be applauded by the bankers OF
the country, who have urged this step
for "A long time. A determined effort
was made during the formulation OF the
Federal reserve act to have the reserve
banks become the only fiscal agents Of
the Government. Financial authorities
say that In every bill previously offered
for reform of the banking and currency
system provision was made to take the
United States Treasury out Of the bank
ms business.
Authorized by Glass-Owen Bill.
The Aldrich plan provides that the
Secretary should deposit the general
fund Of the Government In tho proposed
national reserve association and its
branches; that the reserve association
should be the fiscal agent OF the Govern
meiit and that Government disbursement
should be made by check against such
deposit.
The first draft Of the Glass bill. printed
in June. 1913 the firs, draft OF the owen
bill. printed in the same month, and the
Glass-Owen bill as 1t passed tho House
and wa presented TO the Senate con
tained "A provision that:
"The Secretary OF the Treasury shall.
subject 10 the approval of the Federal
Reserve Board. from time to time appor-
ton the funds of the Government among
the said Federal reserve banks. distrlb-
uting them as far As practicable .quita-
bly, between different sections, and may
at their Joint discretion charge interest
thereon and Xix from month to month a
rate which shall Ice regularly paid by the
bank owing such deposits"
The Glass-Owen law was altered sub
sequently so Us TO make the deposit
Of Government funds Ia the reserve
banks discretionary with the Secretary
OF the Treasury. Clauses were inserted
which specified that nothing In the law
should be construed AS denying the
Secretary the right to use the member
banks as Federal repositories. This
alteration was attributed by bankers
To the influence OF Mr.. McAdoo IN the
final conferences on the bill.

he had the address he had given
her in New York. It was a fashion
able hotel, where Frank Warner lived
most of the year. And now, with the
lapse of two months, she was still un-
certain.
She was waiting for Jack. She ex-
pected him that evening and she
started up as a ring came at the door,
her heart beating wildly. But it was
only Louise, who often came in to
see her at that hour on her way back
from the Office, where she was de-
tanned an hour later than May.
"He hasn't come YETI" she asked.

You must be anxious to see him,
May. If my fiance had been away for
two months you bet I'd have worn
out my shoes running to the door to
peek up the street and see whether
he was coming"

good-looking fellow at the hotel, who
seemed interested in you-what was
his name? Frank Warner, to be sure.
Well, after you'd gone he just fol-
lowed me round same way he fol-
lowed you. My! I used to laugh at
him at first, but he had a sort of ire

"Sure! Isn't it dreadful to think of
what a fellow will do? 1t seems he's

Nothing is more repulsive than to see
a woman with her face all daubed
with face powder in her desire to
hide marks of age. Instead of using
powder, which clogs and enlarges
the pores. 1t is far better to use a

can make an inexpensive lotion thai
will do wonders as a skin whitener

moves all shininess, sallowness and

smooth, velvety tone, while 1t does
not rub off easily like powder, NOR
does 1t show on the skin.

Death of Postmaster
Brown Will Open Up
Bitter Contest Again
1From a staff Correspondent


LINCOL2, Swiy 7.--CSpecisl.) THE death
Of Postmaster Francis w. Brown, after
serving but about eight months as post
master OF Lincoln, will again open up
the postoffioe controversy which was
carried on for so long before the matter
was settled by the appointment Of Mr..
Brown, who had the support of Mr..
Bryan, as against A. V. Johnson, who
was backed by Congressman Mcguire.
Already the work is being started
quietly and few aspiring candidates are
getting ready in an effort to get both the
endorsement OF Mr.. Bryan and Senator
Hitchcock, which has been shown TO be
a very difficult proposition TO face.
II is expected that Sam whiting, can
didate when the fight was on before be-
tween Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Johnson, will
get into the race. while John ]. Gilligan
admits that he would not refuse the place
IL It was rendered him.
Editor John w. Outright may get into
the scrap. At present Mr.. Outright, who
edits the Lincoln Daily Star in the fore
noon and goes to the ball games in the
afternoon, is just Considering" the mat
ter. Outright, as editor of the Star. wrote
some things in the late city campaign
against Brother Charles Bryan that may
convince the brother Of Brother Bin that
Outright is not worthy OF his endorse
ment. Then, too, Outright made a speech
in which he said that Brother Charles
platform was "Tommyrot," or something
like that, and that may still be remem.
bered.
A. v. Johnson will probably again oe
candidate also. although he has not sc
