CARLOAD PURE BRED HOGS
FOR 6OYS' PIG CLUB

Hugo, Okla, Feb. 2O.-A car Of pure
bred hogs were rc-shipped from this
city last evening to Idabel, car con
tanned seventy-dye head, siXty-one
sows and fourteen boars. County de
monstrator r. c. Blocker met them at
this point, and on arrival at Idabel he
will distribute them among the boys
of pig clubs. The bankers of McCur-
tain County, eight in number, were in
duced to make the purchase of the
hogs for the boys through the earnest
efforts of demonstrator Blocker.
The boys receiving the sows will
sign a note for thirty dollars on twelve
months time, ten per cent interest,
to be paid by the increase of the sows,
as all are bred The lot of siXty-one
sows were purchased at a cost of thir-
ty dollars each. The boars were put
in for free distribution in the several
neighborhoods in the county, and are
to remain the property of the boys
pig club, but are to be used by the
communities in a general way in or
der to produce a better breed of hogs
the county over This move for Nc
Curtain county will be watched very
closely by the active factors in the
move. Mr. Blocker stated that every
effort will be put forth in the interest
Of the boys, making this move a com
mercial factor in their county as well
rs a progressive move.

THE CORNERSTONE OF
PROSPERITY

Advocates of military 'prepared.
ness are pointing to the federal re-
serve banking system Of the success
of preparedness as applied to business
and finance. II is contended that the
present prosperity Of the United
States dates from the mobilization of
the nations credit and banking power
by the installation of the new banking
system. It went into effect soon after
the war in Europe began and, ac-
cording to general belief. enabled the
United States to meet the business
crisis caused by the war
Under this new system, your saw
fellow and of all other American citi-
2ens are united and put to the uses
of all of us IN common for financial
defense" William p. Malburn, first
assistant secretary of the treasury.
describes the personal service rem
dered by the reserve system thus:
your bank need never close its
doors while 1t has its portfolio filled
with good loans. because of insuftic-
lent money in the vaults to pay de-
positors who are demanding their
money. If solvent merchant or
manufacturer, YOU will not be obliged
to close your place Of business and
perhaps be stamped as a bankrupt
because. your bank for some peculiar
and temporary reason lacks the cash
to give you loan on your good assets.
If you have a job in a factory, you
are no longer exposed to the danger
of loss of employment by the closing
of that factory, if it is in solvent con-
dition. because your employers bank
is unable to provide cash for the
payrolls
"In all these situations and a null
titude of others now, the member
banks of the federal reserve system,
when money is needed take the good
notes of farmers, merchants and man
ufacturers to the federal reserve bank
and convert them into federal re-
serve notes which are obligations
of the United States government.
"These notes are probably safer
than any paper money ever devised.
When the reserve banks issue these

notes they are required TO hold in
their vaults gold to an amount equal
to 40 per cent of the face Of the note
so that they may be able 10 redeem
them if tsey are presented for pay
ment. The notes have the govern
ment and 40 per cent gold behind
them. National bank notes, which
have never fallen below par in the
fifty years of their existence, have
only five per cent in gold or lawful
money behind them.
"This means an end Of panics,
With member banks of the federal
reserve system able to pay out over
their counters these federal reserve
notes in practically limitiess volume,

PREVENTING WAR" AT HOME


As the European war continues and
more and more thousands of lives and
more and more millions of money are
sacrificed, you hear more and more OF
this idea:
If there were a superior tribunal
agency or authority, recognized as su'
perior by all nations, which could
speak through the noise of the shell
fire and say coolly, "You all agree this
is supreme folly, so why not sit down
quietly together and settle it." the war
might be stopped and other wars pre-
vented.
A strike means a little war. All the
passion entering into war enters into
strikes The difference is that the gov
ernment now supplies between groups
of citizens The superior agency lack
ing between nations.
Since March 4, 1913, when the de-
partment of labor was created, so la
Dor disputes involving actual or threat
ened strikes have been amicably ad-
justod by the departments division of
mediation and conciliatiOn. In 10 in
stances the governments efforts have
failed Twenty-seyen cases are pend
ing. In the so cases, more than 150,-
600 workmen were directly affected
and more than 100000 indirectly af-
fected. The work is purely industrial;
questions affecting railway operation
are specifically excepted from the jur-
isdiction of the department of labor
and placed under the U. S. board of
and cancellation.
The departments mediation and con-
work is rapidly increasing.
Thus in the entire fiscal year ended
June 80, last, there were 26 amicable
adjustments, 10 cases in which the
efforts failed and A
cases pending, a total of 40 cases han
died. In the five months from July /,
1915. to December l, 1915, there were
rs amicable adjustments, four fail
ures, and p cases pending, a total of
80 cases handled.
