and Treasury 500, ,oO0, 900 That
May Be Transferred Soon.

Government money now on deposit in
national banks, amounting to s56,ooo,-
oeo, is soon to be transferred in part
TO federal reserve banks by direction
Of Secretary McAdoo.
The Treasury can deposit with the
federal reserve banks also s1o0,oo0,ooo
now in its vaults. However. possibly
SEQ .o0o, 900 or s25,ooe,ooo will be re-
tanned
When the plan for transfer was
broached last fall several members OF
the federal reserve board, it is under

distributed throughout the system.
The prospect now is that when the dis

will be considered.
The federal reserve banks receiving
such deposits will act as fiscal agents
for the government. Whether they must
pay the per cent now charged nation
al banks on government deposits Will

Bacon Gone To Brandon

George J. Bacon, the man who
started the campaign for clean and
good milk in st. Johnsbury through
the establishment of the Jersey milk
route of the Fairbanks farm, left
Monday for Brandon where he is to
be farm superintendent at the place
purchased for home for the feeble
minded. The state is fortunate in
securing such a well-informed man
who has shown much practical sense
and is a conscientious worker. There
are between 800 and 400 acres in
the farm he is to manage and it is
probable the state will soon have
another fine herd of dairy cattle on
this place.
