ATTACK RESERVE SYSTEM

Opposition to the federal reserve
banking system may find it's express
sion in congress this winter. There
is already talk of legislation which
the federal reserve officials say would
cripple the system, namely, an act
to relieve the national bankers from
their liability under the federal re-
serve law requirement to deposit re-
serves in the federal reserve banks
rather than in certain other banks
which enjoyed them previous to the
passage of the federal reserve act.
1t is not generally xnown that the
reserve law is not yet fully operative.
A provision in the act deferred the
transfer of reserves for three years.
This long period was urged in order
that no shock might be felt by the
business world on account of the
withdrawal of large sums from out
side banks to federal reserve banks.
The law requires that these deposits
be made in four installments cover
ing the three-year period. Two of
these installments will have been
completed Nov. 16. Now it is sug-
gested that congress will be asked
to relieve the banks from making
the other two deposits.

REPUBLICANS OF THE
STATE IN HARMONY

All vestiges of doubt as to the
unanmity with which Iowa will line
up in support of Cummins for presi-
dent are removed by the announce
ment of the list of speakers who will
participate in the farewell rally to
be held at the auditorium at Des
Moines Friday night to give the Iowa
senator a rousing sendoff on the eve
of his departure Saturday for Wash
ington. The list includes the most in
fiuential standpatters in the state,
speakers from all parts of Iowa, and
men who have heretofore been I'M
alterably opposed to Senator Cum
minis.
Senator William S. Kenyon of Fort
Dodge will be the first speaker of
the evening. He was expected.
John j. Adams of Dubuque, ma
tional committeeman and the power
of politics in his section of the state,
a out-and-out, died-in-the-wool stand
patter will speak for Cummins. He
is regarded as a conquest by the
Cummins forces, and his announce
ment, published this week that he
would support Cummins, came as a
great pleasure to headquarters.
James Devett of Oskaloosa is an
other standpatter of long standing
who has signified his acceptance of
the invitation to address the rally,
and Bernard Murphy, editor of the
Vinton Eagle, who has never before
supported Cummins or his politics
will speak for him as the favorite
son candidate for president.

GOT HIGHEST PRICES
AT OMAHA MARKET

o. G. Ruffcorn of Harlan, Iowa,
took a car of cattle to South Omaha
market last week and among the lot
were eleven head of calves Just IL
months old which weighed an aver
age of 500 pounds. They were of the
Shorthorn breed. Ruffcorn has four
teen high grade Shorthorn cows from
which he had fourteen calves in Nov
ember 1914. He turned two calves
in with till June and the other seven
calves each of z cows and allowed
them to run with them until June,
and the other seven cows he MIXED,
SKINNED the milk with separator and
made butter for the market which
netted from $500 to $500 per
week, besides leaving the skinned
milk for the hogs. In the winter he
gave to the calves oats and shelled
corn. In spring they ran on fifteen
acres of blue grass and the ration of
shelled corn kept up, until October
first new corn, and husk corn and
grain were sliced and fed to them in
dry lot without other feed. He re-
ceived $40 per cwt. for them, the
highest price but one for twelve
months.

BUoKING THE BOOZE BARoNs

Georgia stands among the leaders
of the States which are effectively
solving the liquor problem of the
nation. By means of recent legisla-
ton she is getting close to the core
of the great problem. And If this
legislation is properly enforced, with
favoritism to none, the liquor prob
lem will soon pass into the limbo Of
oblivion in Georgia and will have
Joined that great army of things
which are no more.
In the first place, Georgia laws pro-
hibit the manufacture and the sale
within the state of any drinkable
liquor which contains more than one
half of one percent of alcohol. In
the second place they have law pro-
viding that any person living within
that state may receive not more than
two quarts of liquor, one gallon of
wine and forty-eight pints of beer
within any one calendar month from
any point without the state; an
amount liberal enough for any man
who is an ardent advocate of Per
sonal Liberty"
And now an important third law
has passed the Senate, and probably
by this time has been signed by the
Governor, for it is understood to
have his hearty approval. The law
provides that such liquors shall not
be advertised within the entire state
of Georgia by any means whatsoever;
either by printed advertisements in
periodicals, newspapers, or billboards
or by any other method.
Thus Georgia is attempting to pre-
vent the sale and use of liquor, not
only by prohibiting its manufacture
and it's purchase, but also by prevent
ing the creation of a demand for it.

WILL IT EFFECT
AUDUBON COUNTY
Creameries of State Must Qualify
Plants Scoring 93 Points May
Use Trade Mark

The Iowa better butter commits
sion met Tuesday at the Office of the
state dairy and food commission at
Des Moines to adopt rules for the use
of the Iowa butter trademark. 1t was
determined that plants scoring SO
points may use the state stamp.
In order to score SO points, the
butter produced must contain at
least 80 per cent butterfat The
other points are to be gained on the
sanitary conditions of the plant. No
firm can use the state trademark
which has a plant scoring less than
S5 per cent on sanitary conditions,
the commission ruled.
w. B. Barney, state dairy and food
commissioner, was elected chairman
and Prof. M. Mortensen of the Iowa
State College at Ames was chosen
secretary of the commission. These
officers will at once prepare for a
supply of stencils and other supplies
which will be needed in the campaign
for better butter. The commission
expects to have the state stamp in
use before Jan. l.
The members of the commission
are: w. B. Barney, dairy and food
commissioner; w. B. Quarton, AL
coma; Charles F. Curtiss, Ames /;
Prof. M. Mortensen, Ames; r. e.
Clemens, Algona.
Following the meeting w. B. Bar
ney and Charles F. Curtiss held a
conference with DR.. ]. l. Gibson,
state veterinarian. They asked Dr.
Gibson to adopt a policy that the
state pay actual value for cattle
slaughtered if the foot and mouth
disease ever breaks out in Iowa
Other states have paid beef value
for pure bred stock which has been
killed, instead of the actual value
the officials claim.
In the first outbreak of the foot
and mouth disease in this state nc
pure bred stock took the disease;
therefore the question of the prices
to be paid was not determined a,
that time. DIR. Gibson told his Wis.
itors Tuesday that as far as he has
investigated there is no law deter.
mining what Iowa should do with
regard to pure bred stock.

WE'RE HAPPILY SURPRISED

A company of friends assembled
last Friday evening, and went to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Tunman
to spend the evening and to remind
them of their 50th wedding annivers-
airy which they passed on Tuesday OF
last week. The friends had provid-
ed themselves with a lot of good
things to eat which was served at
the proper time after an hour or
more of social conversation.
The company came to the Tunman
home unannounced, but their COM
ing was appreciated and welcomed,
nevertheless. AS a token of remem-
brance the guests gave Mr.. and Mrs.
Tunman a beautiful 1924 picture
on which were-t the dates 1865 and
1915 and under that was quotation
from the scriptures.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Krauel, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Blohm, Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Nuts
chall, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Berg, Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Fredericksen, Mrs.
Braun, Mr.. and Mrs. Aug. Burr, and
Rev. T. w. Starck. The party re-
turned to their homes at a late hour
wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Tunman many
more anniversaries.

A SERIOUS SUBJECT

Ibid you ever kiss a girl you did
not intend to marry?" was the ques-
ton put to the judge by the lawyer
for the defense in a recent breach of
promise suit.
1t settled the case. The judge de-
MED the young woman's claim for
damages.
Now it is an actual fact that very
nice girls are brought up to believe
that a kiss is the seal of true love,
and that Prince Charming will never
kiss a fair lady until he comes to the
proposal.
We contend that it is unfair for
mothers to teach girls such half
truths. Prince Charming often is
not so chivalrous, and girls should
know it.
The judges decision has aroused
considerable merriment, but it does
in fact deal with no less serious sub
ject than the double moral standard.

WILL PAY IN COPPER

Holland some months ago ordered
from the Austrian Skoda works a
number of guns the delivery of which
is shortly due. Austria has demand
ed payment, half in gold and half in
copper, and Holland has accepted
the terms, although Great Britain
allows the importation of copper in
to Holland solely on condition that
it is not re-exported."
The TELEGRAPH learns that Great
Britain consequently has determined
to stop completely the importation
of copper into Holland, but Reuters
Agency learns in London that the last
statement is incorrect.
1t may become necessary for some
of the European countries to use cop
per as medium of exchange.
