stock might have a maturity not ex-
ceeding six months. Not only is pa
per arising out of agricultural trans
actions made eligible under the act,
but it is given longer maturing per-
iod than other forms of paper, This
apparent discrimination arose natural
ly out of the fact that agricultural
operations are seasonal and involve
longer period than ordinary COM
mercial transactions.
Again, it is provided in the act that
national banking associations not situ-
ated in the central reserve cities may
lend on improved and unencumbered
farm lands within the Federal reserve
district, and that such loans may be
made for any period up to FIVE years.
Such loans may not exceed so per
cent of the actual value of the pro-
perty. Any national bank under this
provision of the act may lend on farm
lands an amount in the aggregate
equal to rs per cent of its capital and
surplus, or one-third of its time de.
posts. The Federal reserve act, there
fore, so far from discriminating
against the farming classes, distinctly
bears them in mind, and while not dis
eliminating in favor of them takes
just and particular knowledge OF their
requirements.
The Banking Habits of the United
States.
The matter of additional legisla-
ton concerning farm credits was very
promptly brought to the attention OF
Congress by the President At the re
gular session in his annual message,
and many experts have been giving
persistent and careful attention TO
the problem.
The explanation of why specia,
! banking arrangements were devised
abroad but have not been extensively
planned and operated in this country
is to be found in the difference in The
economic, social. and banking habit:

BETTER DELIVERY WORK
WILL BE IMPROVED
Merchants Plan Improvement IN Serv-
ice After the New Year,


Beginning January /, the union de-
livery service owned and operated by
Caldwell merchants will inaugurate a
four trip daily delivery system. The
arrangement, effective the first of the
year, will provide adequate service to
the customers of the stores effected,
as, under the arrangement to be put in
effect every home in the city will be
given a delivery service every two
hours during the business day.
The cooperative system of deliver
ing in force here has proven an I'M
qualified success and many inquiries
are received regarding the method of
operation. The merchants connected
with the system state that since its
Inauguration the cost of distribution
has been materially lessened and that
the service to patrons has been high
ly satisfactory.
The local service was organized sew
eral years ago, and is differed at pres
ent by c. S. Doan. president and John
Flynn, secretary.

Over All of Asia Minor.

lectual powers and possessed then as
now commercial gifts that put them
to the forefront of the traders. TIC
this day there is a saying in ISLAM
that if you permit even two or three
Armenians to do business unhamper-
ed in Turkish city they will soon
own the city. There is a saying that
one Jew equals in trade seven Yam
KEGS and one Armenian equals seven
Jews.
Through the ages this commercial
ability has marked the Armenians.
TREY have been for 500 years the
business men for Turkey. Their acu-
men for trade is great; they have
been the bankers and traders; to
them have been entrusted the fiduci-
airy offices in the Sultan's realm.
Here's a story of the east, SAVIOR
ing a little of the Ara bian Nights,
but which doubtless shows how the
sons of Haig have long financed the
Turk: Kazaz-Artyn, noted Arme-
MAN of Constantinople, who had r1s-
en- from lowly rank to be head of the
royal mint, a post of great trust and
honor, was the close friend of Sultan
Manhood, who would never let a
day pass over his head without see
ing Kazaz any more than he would
neglect his prayers. When came the
end of a long war with Russia, Sultan
Manhood was found one day in a
blue funk by his trusted Kazaz-Ar-
tyn.
why this grief, your majesty?'2
The Muscovite giaOurs insist on
heavy indemnity and there is not
plaster in my strong box.
ooh, is that all?' was the cheerful
response of KaZaz. III fix that.
And he called together the Armenian
bankers, and ere the next days sun
had gilded the crescent on Santa So
phia every plaster was paid.
The First Glimmerings of Language.
Nor is their strength in trade all.
Equaling their valOr in war was the
Armenian acumen for learning. Hun
CRY, they absorbed Greek learning.
They had a. language all their own
from the days Of Ararat. The con-
fusion of tongues at the tower of
Babel did not involve them, for Haig
had gone away from that region, and
the language of Armenia is prOba-
bly, the oldest tongue that has come
directly from the first glimmerings
of time
But for centuries they had no writ
ten language, no literature, until
they learned Greek and used Greek
characters to write their words. But
that failed to satisfy the national
spirit that wanted distinct Ian

dered widely and reigned from the
Caspian sea to the Mediterranean,
from Pontus to Assyria. Asia Minor,
as We know it, was Haigasdan or
Armenia and 3O,000,OOO souls were
beneath their sway; for Haig himself
was a powerful warrior and his sons
were men of war.
Like all potentates Of the east in
the early drawings of time the pow
erful Kings of Armenia believed in
autocratic rule. Their sway was ORR
entail in its completeness. Their word
was law, their subjects slaves. Plu-
tarch tells of an Armenian King who
had many captive Kings in his court
to wait on him, and particularly four
"as mace bearers or footmen, who,
whenever he rode on horseback, ran
before him in short jenkins; and
when he sat to give audience stood
by with their hands clasped togetn-
er; which last circumstance seems
a mark of the lowest slavery, token
that they had not only resigned their
liberty but that they were prepared
to suffer rather than to act.
That is the Oriental idea of power,
to capture your man, then rub it into
him
Well, the Armenians certainly
got theirs later on. For centuries
they were leaders in war, literature,
art and trade. 1t was an Armenian
King that helped Mithridates stand
off the armies of Rome so long in
the third Mithridatic war. Tigranes
was he Tigranes the great. Of him
Lucullus wrote, There sits Tigranes,
King of Kings, surrO dnded with that
power which has wrested Asia from
the Parthians, which carries Grecian
colonies into Media, subdues Syria
and Palestine, cuts off the Selleuci-
dae, and carries their wives and
daughters into captivity. The prince
is nearly allied to Mithridates he is
his son-in-law." It's on'y 500 years
since the Moslems overwhelmed and
subjugated the Armenians, who had
become arrogant of their power had
dissentions to weaken them
within and had failed to make friends

Cruelty of AIoslem Slaughter.
The slaughter by Enver Bey, eX-
ceeding in ferocity anything that the
Christians have ever faced, exceed
ing even the prosecutions under Nero,
is calculated to feXterminate the
Christians from Islam. 1t is a slaugh

Armenia in 1S94-96.
Listen to this translation from the
Arabic of the prayer of the Moslem:
In the name of Allah the compass
sionate, the merciful. o Lord of all
creatures! o Allah! destroy the in
fidels and polytheists, thine enemies,

women, and their children, and their
relatives by marriage, and their
brothers, and their friends, and their
possessions, and their race and their
wealth, and their lands, as booty to
them Moslems o, Lord of all Great
ures!"
This for the sons of Haig, the race
that has outlived almost every race,
the only race that can trace its ORR
gin back to Ararat and the ark, the
earliest Christian people, the custo-
dams of the faith during ages when

Forth from the Ark on Ararat's
lofty side stepped Noah and his wife,
his sons. Shem, Ham and Papeth, and
their respective wives, and every liv-
ing thing on the earth, for there had
been a wet spell in the world which
meant at that time the region be-
tween the Caspian, Black, Red and
Mediterranean seas as we know them
now.
Haig was the grandson OF Noah.
Whether Haig enjoyed the voyage in
the Ark Holy Writ does not state,
nuor does tradition affirm. He may
have been Graded in the great craft,
as it tossed on the waters that COW
cred the earth; he may have fed the
raven that did not come back and
the dove that did. We can't say as
to that. But tradition about Ararat
to this day aff1rms that Noah not only
knew Haig, but that the old navigator
was still living when Haig led his
numerous progeny back from the
land of Babylon, whose climate did
not agree with him, and settled near
the base of the mountain on which
the Ark rested.
And from that day to this, proyid-
ed the Turks have not killed them all,
the Armenian race has dwelt distinct
there around Ararat's base.
Only they do not call themselves
Armenians. This tribe, descended
straight from the Ark, with unbroken
lineage for 1000 or 5000 years, calls
itself Haigs. Armenians call one an
other Haigs-Ha-eeLgg they pro-
nounce it-and refer with pride to
their distinguished ancestry.
Ere this race vanish from the face
of the earth in the fearful slaughter,
than which there mas been none more
dreadful in all the ages the Haigs
have lived and in all the wars and
prosecutions through which they have
passed, glance backward at It's rec
ord.
Early COnquerors of Asia Minor.
The name Armenian" they get
from Aram, who was sixth in the
descent from Haig, but Haigs is the
name they ordinarily use; Abram is
too modern. They had a principally
in the days when the world was
young, stretching wide from Ararat's
base. All the stored region which al
ways has been the fighting ground for
the half savage tribes of the east once
belonged to the Haigs. All Persia,
Mesopotamia, Syria, Cappadocia fell
beneath their sway. Their kings wan

Byron styled a Waterloo of an al
phabet." Modern in its plan it reads
from left to right and is the only an
cient Language Of the east to be so
written. Haigs preserved the learn
ing Of the east for centuries In the
monasteries in the Ararat region
manuscripts of priceless value have
been cherished for centuries. Many
parchments of the Bible reposed
there, guarded by monks for centu-
ries. The writings of Eusebius were
found there and to this day there
are storehouses of ancient literature
in the mountains of Persia that have
hardly been unsealed.
But this is getting ahead OF the
story.
The First Christian Nation.
The sons of Haig, the Armenians,
were the first to accept Christianity
as a nation. 1t came about in this
wise:
When Abgar, King of the Haigs,
once had occasion to send word to
the Roman general, Marius, over in
Syria, he dispatched a deputation to
carry the message. Returning from
their mission the deputies told him
of a wonderful new teacher OF new
and strange religion over in Syria, a
teacher who had gathered a dozen
fishermen about him and was going
up and down Palestine healing the
sick and performing all sorts of mir
acles. This, said the deputies Of
Abgar, gave credence to the claim
that the new teacher was the son Of
God.
Abgar was sick None of his ne
cromances or alchemists could cure
him, and so we find this powerful
King with a sway from the Caspian
to the Mediterranean, sending a sec
on deputation into Syria, this time
to invite the humble carpenters son
to visit the king and cure him.
This deputation, says tradition,
was received with satisfaction by the
Savior, who dictated to Thomas this
reply: when | shall rise in my glo-
ry | will send you one of my disci-
pies, who shall remove your pains,
and give life to you and to those
around you"
And so after the ascension lie sent
Thaddeus, one of the early band of
70 preachers, to Odessa, then capital
of Armenia. Thaddeus, having in
structed the king in the new faith,
baptized him and the citizens Of the
metropolis.
1t was a couple of hundred years,
however, before Sahag, the first arch
bishop of Armenia, completed the
spread of the new religion among the
Haigs, and before Gregory the Hum
inator, had come to Sesarea ana with
his exposition of the new faith gath
cred followers called GregOrians.
And the Armenian church, similar
in vestment and rite to the Greek
church, is doubtless the nearest exist
ing likeness to any church of the
third century of any now extant-
that is, if there be single Armenian
