Advertising Cities

If the retailers of smaller towns and cities were as progres- slve as the retailers of the larger cities. the former would under
 stand why the public is drawn to the latter to do it's trading Ky
 erywhere cities of from 25.OOO population up are raising funds of many thousands of dollars with which to advertise them
 selves in papers, magazines and trade publications. The business men of the smaller communities could just as protitably put On an advertising campaign through their local papers. Thirteen well written page ads, exploiting the advantages of a town will work wonders for business men-ap d when one considers the small cost of thirteen page ads in a To. cal paper, 1t is not easily under
 stood why the business men of the smaller towns don t use them.

Notable progress has been made in bringing about the com mercial utilization or soy bean seed for the manufacture of oil. meal and various more or less complex products, according to the annual report ot the chief Cf the bureau of plant industry The sOy-bean, the report states. is we'll adapted to the whole cot. ton belt, and indeed to the whole corn region. In the cotton belt l. promises to be an important element wherever the acreage of of cotton has heen reduced. The in mature bean seeds make a very delicious vegetable and are canned with ease. Inasmuch as soy beans can be more cheaply produced than any other bean  seed, it is believed that there is large field for the canning of green soy beans Efforts are now made to induce canning factor ies to put the product on the market. In the growing Of the soy bean and in misunderstanding products therefrom the United States can successfully compete with the Orient. In com bination with rice the soy bean forms a most nutritious and satisfactory article of food. beaumont En. terprise.

A Poor Front

Monday this office received a copy ot the University Weekly, a publication issued by the stud. ents of the State University. It is printed on yellow poster paper and came rolled up ike a pencil, instead of being neatly folded and wrapped. very poor front and making anything but a ia yorable impression. The pubh- cation has eleven editors, three business managers, fourteen re- porters, one regular contributor and ten other writers who are credited with this mum Der of the paper. But it seems the force lacked mailing clerk. The most prominent advertisement in the seven column four-page paper is for Turkish brand of cigar cite.
 This sounds bit critical, and it is so intended. but now for the subject matter of the publication. This number is an agricultural edition, devoted to the subjects having to do with farm life, and it is excellent. The topics are ably handled-livestock, fruit, home economics, entomology, veterinary science, bacteriology. plant pathology. agricu ltural chemistry, and kindred subjects. The publication is a good one, we'll edited, well made up and well printed. It should put up a better front. -Batesville Record

WHAT BANKS THINK OF
FEDERAL RESERVE ACT

The Guaranty Trust company, of
New York, issued for publication re-
Gently a collection of reports from
5,344 banks of the United States ON
their attitude toward the present
federal reserve system which went
into effect November 16, 1914. OF
these, 1911 would give no opinion
and of the remainder about half were
national banks and half were state
banks and trust companies. These
are called member and nOn-member
banks. 20 per cent of the favorable
replies were from member banks and
81 per cent of the unfavorable re-
plies were from member banks.
In total. 1,760 were generally favor
able to the law and 1,773 were UNI
favorable.
From these figures it would ap-
pear that sentiment is about equally
divided among the banks of the
country who would take interest
enough to discuss the question of
this federal reserve act. Politics
may play some share and there are
1.-THE 1871 snOn-cOmmittal.
III Z Law
The new banking and currency law
known as the federal sci act,
passed congress December %, 1918,
after a long discussion and the con
sideration of many bills of similar
intent. The object always in view
in national banking systems is to
nationalize and unity the currency,
and the system replaced by the fed
eral reserve act of 1913 was inaug-
urated at the end of the civil war.
The national banknote currency was
based, under that system, upon gov
eminent bonds deposited in the treas
ury. This system served its purpose
well and it's chief function was to
create a market for government
bonds. But after SO years of ex-
pansion and commercial development
it had been outgrown. The new re-
serve act sought to substitute for it
la more elastic system which should
prevent panics and bank failures, and
provide easy transmittal of immense
sums from n center to another.
Those who have supported this meas
ure point with pride to the way it
has worked out and to the fact that
since it's adoption we have nationally
%weathered every financial storm and
the threats came darkly enough dur
ing the first months of the European
war.
How it Worked
Under this act the continental
United States was divided into IL
districts, each containing n federal
reserve city, in which was a federal
reserve bank acting as a center.
Every national bank is required to
become a stakeholder in the Federal
Reserve bank of its district. Others
may become member banks at will.
Each member bank is required to
subscribe to the stock of the Federal
Reserve bank of it's district in the

amount equal to 6 per centum of
it's paid-up capital stock and surplus.
The Federal Reserve bank does not
do regular banking business, but it
may be made a depositary of its
member banks, and of government
funds; it may also purchase CONNER
cial paper and foreign exchange. The
chief function of the Federal Reserve
bank is, perhaps, that of issuing and
redeeming currency. 1t acts as a
sort of clearing house for the banks
of it's district and in general as a
bank for banks. 1t has nine direc-
tors who appoint the necessary Off
GERS of the bank.
The whole system Is under the
supervision of a., central board in
Washington, known as the Federal
Reserve board, consisting of the Sec
rotary of the treasury and the comp
troller of the currency, acting ex-
officio, and five members named by
the president with the approval of
the senate.
New Development
Last week the federal reserve
banks in%augurated a. countrywide
system of collecting checks for the
purpose of facilitating the transfer
of money from one part of the
country to another. Hitherto these
collections have been handled by ar
fragments between the individual
banks and necessarily time was lost
thru lack of general method in routes
used and in verifying credit. The
new system will keep less money tied
up in the mails by making the trans
fers more quickly. This reform is
considered of only second Importance
to the initial opening of the II re-
serve banks.

WaterTnelOns

Watermelons can be grown quite
successfully in the Snake river val
ley If the summer is warm and long.
1t is, however, rather difficult to
raise them unless one has plenty of
time to bestow on their culture.
They should never be put in the
ground later than May lot is a
waste of time, for not enough melons
will mature to pay for the labor of
caring for them.
The SOIL should be damp and fine
when planting. Never plant more
than one and one-half inches deep.
Without manure, we'll mixed with the
soil, melons will not grow to any size
too early on the vines and instead
of three large, firm, well-appearing
melons there will likely be six or
seven small ones of a sickly green
color.
"Cole's EARLY" is the very best
kind of melon for this climate. Plant
ed as early as possible, it is sure to
mature if it is we'll watered, manur-
ed and has a fairly good season. They
seldom grow more than a foot long.
We have. raised melons 80 inches
however.
A light soil is better for melons.
They do not do we'll in clay soil.
Melons are a delicious fruit and
even a few are worth working for.
They are interesting in their growth,
and if one likes agriculture he is
likely to forget the work necessary
to produce them.

STATE AND COUNTY. POLITICS
Editors Reminder of Some Forgotten Lore
Kettenbach, Borah, Steunenberg

or the child laboring in the factories
or the garrets. He analyses nothing
till he knows it in detail, mis-states
nothing of the conditions, and his
word stands against a multitude. If
the political wolves in Boise could
have crushed him by invoking the
power of the courts and a corrupt
press in the famous timber Eases a
few years ago, the name of Borah
would have been but a memory now,
and Idaho as we'll as the nation
would have been an infinite loser. as
it already is loser by the untimely
death of Frank Steunenberg at the
hand of an assassin who Is no worse
than the character assassin but there
is a way to punish the former.
When O. v. Allen and his deputy,
Fred Coleman, were shown to be
guilty two years ago, a great cry
was made to "clean out the state
house." 1t was assumed that be-
cause the treasury was in the hands
of men who were gambling and spec
ulating, that necessarily all the
neighbors were corrupt. If the read
er will take such a principle home
and apply it to his own affairs and
his own neighbors and business as
sociates he will see the danger of
condemning people wholesale or by
blocks and squads. 1t was even said
that because O.. v. Allen had loaned
money to his brother at Twin Falls
that the brother was guilty of en-
bezzling state moneys: II that prin-
ciple is carried to its logical conclu-
sion, any man who borrows money OF
la bank that eventually fails, is guilty
of a crime.
In this campaign the people OF
Idaho should exercise a liberal
amount of good horse sense. When
somebody raises the cry f wolf
and does not furnish the proof of the
wrong, a demand should be made for
the proof or for retraction of the
charge. And any honest person will
comply with the demand and do it
cheerfully. In this campaign, peo-
pie should remember that corrupt
men may try to obtain positions of
trust and power, and for the purpose
of using such power for their own
profit or to embarrass others Or to
enrich themselves at the expense of
other men who are in trouble by be-
ing made the victims of foul plots.
Ii politics has become corrupt, it is
because corrupt means have been
employed by corrupt men, and peo-
pie have jumped at conclusions and
carried out the will of the tricksters
before Investigating or doing suffi-
cient solid thinking to arrive at sane
conclusions. If the voters are to act
intelligently at the polls they must
find out all they a about who and
what they r voting on. The only
opportunity they have of really gov
erning is in the selection of officials
and in getting them to carry out the
wishes of their representatives right
along while they are in power. The
men who have been in power and
merely carried out their wi sweet
will regardless of right and justice
are not the ones to be given power
again. Those who have been faithful
in the midst of corrupt work by
others are the more to be respected.
The voter who wants to be fair and
just will learn what he a of men
and their records before the voting.
