Speaking Of the Ford peace party, Jane

Mr.. Ford knows the value Of publicity.

President H. H. Pope, of the Texas Far
mers' Union, has outlined plan to con-
gressmen from the cotton states, for ship
ments Of cotton to Germany, by way of
Sweden. He states that beginning Febru-

for cotton seized. Both Great Britain and
Germany have placed cotton on the con-
traband list, and it will be interesting to

MOTOR COMPANY COMING TO

1t is now officially announced, through
the Motor Age, an automobile magazine
Of Chicago, that the Ogren Motor Works,
Inc, intends to erect a factory in Wau-

The building will cost $150,0O0, and will
measure 15Ox900 feet; as soon as ready for
occupancy, the company will move from
Chicago, it's present location
The plan has been held up for some
time, owing to misunderstanding rela-

John Morrow, Mr.. Morrow is quoted as
saying that the title to the land has not
vet passed, but that the company has
agreed to pay him the same price that was

have never been paralleled in the financial
history of any country" says John Skel-
ton Williams, comptroller Of the currency,
in his annual report to congress, covering
the period from October, 1914, to Novem-
Der, 1915-the first year under the federal
reserve system.
"The reserve, held by the national
banks, November 10, 1885," says the re-
port, exceeded by $587, 100000 the greatest
reserve ever held at any time prior to the
passage Of the federal reserve act. Mr..
Williams states, furthermore, that the
banking power Of the United States,
amounted, in June Of the past year, to
$25 100000; an increase in a year of
about s., 100000.
The comptroller points out that banks
are not broken by bank robbers, or the
failure of customers to deposit money, but
by unwise speculation, or embezzlement by
trusted officers. He says that if these evils
are remedied- they can be remedied
by certain simple and much needed amend
ments to the national bank act-failures
among national banks can be reduced to
a negligible quantity.
Mr. Williams exposes banks in certain
sections of the country, charging usurious
interest rates, and states that it is time
for all the banks Of the country to realize
that the federal reserve act was framed
not only to benefit the banks, but the Gus
toners Of the banks, as well.

INITIATIVE STEPS TAKEN TOWARD
CHICAGO SUBWAY

Chicago's first board Of subway engin-
GERS was tentatively created, on January
10, by the special subway commission of
the city council No attempt was made
to 90 into the details of building a subway
the meeting being confined to an effort on
the part Of the aldermen, to obtain some
idea Of the preliminary cost Of the report
that is to be prepared by the engineers
William Barclay Parsons, chief engin-
eer of the marlborough Rapid Transit
Company, of New York, and builder of
the London and New York subways, in
the course Of the meeting said that Chicago
was confronted with the greatest Of all
transportation problems. Those of Lon
don and New York had been solved.
"Chicago," said he, els the largest city
in the country where traction problems
have not been settled, and great response
bility rests on this committee"
Mayor Thompson says, that in planning
a subway, the designers will have to take
into consideration the enormous growth Of
the city, as Chicago, in 35 years, will have
population of 100000 people. "Our
greatest trouble, he declared, ''is that
the city grows too rapidly. Many of the
public works that have been planned in
the past-the post office, for instance
have been outgrown before they have been
finished. This must not happen in the
case of the Chicago subway"
He declared that this is the most i'm
portant work ever undertaken, and for
this reason the foremost experts should be
employed. no matter how expensive it
would be to hire them.
