Federal Reserve act "a one OF the
greatest pieces OF constructive lcsis-
lation ever given 20 the country. II
was nc surprising therefore that the
paid eXploiter Of Reserve Board
when he addressed the West virginia
State Bankers Association should
make the alle-od achievement OF ,he
Democratic party the dominant note
of his discourse. Many false claims
have been made Tor the measure. 5ut

This claim originated with Sccrc-
tary McAdoo. and refers 10 tho scri-
Gus financial crisis thai confronted

the European war. There can be no

Do You Know

That the Massachusetts Legislature
rejected the eight hour bill for women?
But that the House, according to The
Womans Journal voted to add to the
already large number of men who have a
48-hour week all laborers, workmen and
mechanics in the employ of the Com
monwealth, a county. town or city, or in
the employ of contractors or sub-con-
tractors doing public work.?
That the Mississippi Legislature re-

But that the same Legislature made

of suffrage to forme1convicts?

gest the following:

represents his wife. (The Senator's wife
and daughters are, we understand,
suffragistS.)
.. Because he believes that woman's
place is in the canneries.
3. Because he believes that politics
is unfit for women, and the Senator has
done his best to carry out this great
principle.

the reason why the jefferson County

because "he was recently instrumental

BUSINESS RECORD
 IS UNPRECEDENTED

New York, December 2s.-Duns weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Results during 1916 surpassed the most sanguine expectations evidence of the unexampled business being found in every statement that appears. It has been a period of unprecedented achievements in finance. trade and industry, with the maintenance of consumptive demands in record volume, notwithstanding the high est prices of modern times, the outstand- ing feature. The year closes, however, with rather general abatement of pur- chasing and with the question of future readjustments entering more largely into application of calculations. Yet a certain hesitancy and slowing down is natural at this season, in view of the interruption caused by inventorying and annual settle ments. and the fact that in most cases requirements were covered far ahead on the previous extensive buying movement Producers still are less concerned about securing additional contracts than in mak- ing deliveries on old orders, and the diff culties of reducing the great accumula- ton of business are intensified by the transportation breakdown, which has been aggravated by storms in some sections.

GERMANS CHARGE ENGLISH GARbLE
 AMERICAN NEWS
People Are Suspicious of Report of Comment on Peace Note in the
 United States

Berlin, December 29.-(via Sayville) "The telegraphic reports of American comment on the German answer to Pres ident Wilson's peace note reached Ser lin only by way of the English cable. and are, therefore, received in Berlin with the utmost suspicion says statement by the semi official Overseas News agency today
 "In numerous other cases the actual American utterances have proved to be almost directly contrary to the reproduce tions purposey altered by English news papers," the agency adds. This sus- picion is still further increased by the fact that the English reports repeat the traditional English insinuations against German policy. Among these, the fore most place is still held by the time-hon- ored fiction regarding German plans in the southern or other parts of the Amer ican continent, which are once more used by the English in order to call atten- tion to the Monroe doctrine.
 "As matter of fact, the German chancellor months ago in a speech made on most notable occasion in the Reich stag emphatically declared that this idle fiction belongs to the class of nonsensical methods of agitation employed by the anti-German propaganda service A dis tinguished German diplomatist when questioned about the validity of this new insinuation. simply shrugged his shoul- ders and stated that there were appar- ently in England people who never learn nor never forget anything"

ADJUSTMENTS
Jefferson-s'Birth of a Nation

''The Birth of a Nation" is still be- yond the reach of small towns due to the continued demand for the spectacle in the larger cities and it's engagement at the Jefferson theatre next week will afford residents of this section their only oppor- tunity, as MT. Griffith has stated that he will withdraw The Birth of a Nation" from the road to devote his entire atten- tion to his newest masterpiece, "Intoler- ance,' which promises to eclipse the pie turization of ''The Clansman" in popular favor. The producer remains steadfast in his declaration that "The Birth of a Ma tion" will never be shown except in first class theatres at prices prevailing for the regular touring attractions The prices for the local enga cement, however, will be considerably lower than those which prevailed last season. symphony or cehstra of 30 and a carload of electrical and stage effects are carried by the Grif- filth organization.
