|C0LD EXPORTS
MAY FOLLOW END
EUROPEAN WAR
Paul Warburg of Federal
Reserve Board, Addresses
Nations Bankers.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 29.-Heavy
exports of gold from this country to
Europe may follow the close of the
European war. This declaration was
made here today by Paul M. War
burg, vice president of the federal re-
serve board in his address before the
American Bankers association.
"Foreign loans in the old and the
new world may attract our capital at
interest rates far in excess Of our
own," he said, discussing the coming
of peace. "Our exports will have to
meet the keen competition of other
nations, while the purchasing power of
many a nation will be found material
ly reduced, even though in the be-
ginning probably there will be strong
demand for certain of our raw ma
terials.
"These conditions which, in the long
run, may be the cause OF heavy gold
exports from the United States and
which, if we remain unprepared, may
prove a serious check. If, on the other
hand, we forearm, we will be given
the opportunity Of taking our place as
the strongest of the worlds bankers
and furnish the basis of solid ex
pansion of our business.
Mr.. Warburg appealed to the bank
ers to forearm" by increasing their
balances with the federal reserve
banks and by letting go some of the
gold in their vaults.
"Keep all the gold in your vaults
where it is useless for yourselves and
deprived of the additional force that
it may gain in the hands Of the fed
eral reserve banks; keep every cash
till in hotels, railroad stations, dry
good stores and what-not filled with
gold certificates and you will rob the
country of it's legitimate opportuni-
ties of growth, of helping the world"
He cited figures to show that the ex-
cess lending power Of the federal re-
serve banks is $206, 101 900 if loans
are taken in "lawful'' money and $501,-
525 $50 if the loans are taken in fed
eral reserve notes. He advocated
speedy retirement Of national bank
notes in favor of reserve notes in
order to obtain a currency that is
elastic" The federal reserve act should
be perfected, he said, in various de-
tails, although he is profoundly con-
vinced that the federal reserve act
will prove one of the most construc-
tive contributions ever made by con-
gress and the further the system de-
velops, the more apparent will this
become"
Mr.. Warburg's address went into de-
tail in discussion of the technical side
Of banking, taking up an advocacy of
the following:
That all reserve funds should be
kept on deposit with the reserve
banks.
The concentration of all gold in the
federal reserve banks.
The issue Of federal reserve notes
against 100 per cent reserve of gold.
The repeal of laws fixing maxi
mum rates and the enactment Of laws
Furnishing extortion.
The placing of control over bank ex-
aminations and the gathering Of sta
tistics with the federal reserve board,
instead of the comptroller of cur
rency.

TO HAVE SUCCESS WITH PEAS
Some Things About Their Planting
and Care That the Amateur Gar
dener Must Remember.

Peas naturally require cool weather
and are likely to do badly If planted
after weather gets hot. They are
about the first seeds to go into the
ground.
One popularity of peas is that they
require to be planted quite deep to do
best. How far apart to run the rows
depends on the kind of peas being
grown. II the low growing varieties
are to be grown they may be planted
in rows not more than fifteen inches
apart. The taller varieties may need
to be planted thirty inches apart The
low-growing varieties have never given
the writer satisfaction and he will
grow them no more. The medium
sized vines will produce more peas
and continue to produce longer. but
they have to be brushed" that is
sustained with brush.
In buying peas to grow for the use
of the family do not select small ones
like the Alaska. This variety Is a
great one for the canneries, for they
cater to the hotel and restaurant
trade, which demand small peas, as
they make better show.

NEW TEMPERANCE GOSPEL.

Temperance work today Is very
practical as compared with the senti-
mental exhortations of yesterday"
pertinently remarks an exchange. in
these days. when efficiency is SO gen.
eral watchword in the world OF bust
ness and labor. we are finding not so
directly that a man is a knave who
drinks to excess, or even as all, as that
he is fool. A runner who ties a
weight about his leg is no greater
Ounce than the workingman or the
merchant who puts dram of liquor
into his digestion or his brain. II Is
capable of proof by figures and dia-
grams that the drinker of even an
occasional glass of wine or beer or
whisky Injuries the work of both his
hands and his mind, while the habit
ual drinksr sews up his mental and
manual machinery permanently. This
is the gospel of the new temperance
movement"
