Mr. Robinson opened the door there
was no one to be seen. Next he threw
his voice on the other side Of the car
ooh! Dave! Oh! Dave. So the pro-
prietor opened the window and shout
ed, "Who. are you and what do you

the window. Then the ventriloquist
threw his voice outside the car and
directly under the wagon under Mr.

Robinson was greatly excited and left
the wagon to locate the voice, and

rency." In this respect it failed for
the simple reason that there are too
many fixed currency elements in our
system and elasticity begins too high
up in the scale.
As a result of the war in Europe
there has been an influx of gold into
this country of approximately $780,
| 100000, Gold is not only the best
money; 1t Is the only money. II the
currenc yscheme of the federal re-
serve act wore scientifically adjusted,
such an influx of gold as has occur
red in the last eighteen months would
be met by correspondent decrease
in other kinds of currency. The de-
crease, however. has been negligible.
/ Reserve Unsatisfactory.
I The reserve requirements of the
/ federal reserve act has been general

| Gently passed an amendment which
will permit member banks, at the
end OF the transition period, to carry
all their reserves in the federal
reserve banks If they so wish, and
they are also to be permitted to
count. as part OF their required re-
serve, federal reserve notes. Whether
this is an improvement or not IS
open to question.
A more serious objection to the re-.
serve provision Of the federal reserve
act is that it follows the national
bank in permitting silver, United
States notes. and treasury notes to
be counted as reserve. These forms
OF currency have only the intrinsic
1 value of the bullion in the silver and
gold reserve back OF tho greenbacks
plus the ability Of the government to
redee mthem in gold. They are mere
promises to pay and are not money.
II all required reserves were in gold
1t might be that smaller amount
than is now required would make the
situation safer.
The controller of the currency,
counting reserves in tho old and OBJ
solete manner, has shown in several
recent statements that the banks OF
the country have an excess reserve
which would permit n credit expen-
sion Of $4,000, 900, 900 or $4,000
100000. In an address at the con-
vention Of the New York State Bank
ers' Association at Atlantic City last
June Paul NJ. Warburg OF the federal
reserve board, lmperso1<,ly and po-
litely challenged this statement:
In the final analysis" said Mr..
Warburg, if we consider the system
as a unit there is not an excessive
reserve of $1,000, 900, 900, but only
about 150,000,000 in cash. The
balance is invested today in the float,
represented by uneollected items in
transit, in commercial paper, in stock
exchange loans, and securities. The
excess Of our metallic reserVo-plus
tho free gold Of the fsdoFNi reserve
banks-constitutes tire basis Of our
reserve lending power"

PREPARE. SOIL FOR LEGUMES
Trouble Experienced In Getting Stand
of Alfalfa, Glover, Peas, Etc.,
on New Land.

Legume crops (clover, alfalfa, peas.
etc. are among the most valuable OF
farm crops. Trouble is experienced
at times, however, in growing them in
new agricultural districts or regions
where legumes have not been grown
before. This difficulty ofttimes Is due
to the absence of the necessary tu-
bercle bacteria from the soil in ques-
tiOn. The practice should be followed.
therefore, of inOculating the soil or
seed when any Of these crops are
grown upon ground which has never
grown the crop before.
This inOculatiOn may be made by
the use of soil from field in which
the legume has grown. This soil
should be obtained from the old le-
gume field and distributed over the
field to be sOwn in legumes at the
rate of approximately 800 pounds per
acre, and at once narrowed or disked
in. This operation should take place
during the morning or evening, or upon
cloudy day.

MOST PROFITABLE FARM JOB
Many Farmers Cultivate Alfalfa
After Every Cutting-Profit Re-
turned In Following Crops.

One of the most profitable jobs on
the farm is cultivating the alfalfa
fields. A good many farmers cultivate
after every cutting, and find that 1t
pays big dividends in the following
crops. Cultivation roots out the weeds
and grass. loosens up the ground. and
the alfalfa responds by making an in
creased growth.
The best implement for cultivating
alfalfa is the spring-tOoth harrow. 1t
tears out the weeds and lOOsens the
soil without injuring the alfalfa
crowns. The disk harrow Is fairly
good tool for alfalfa cultivation, but
there will be more or less injury to
the crowns when using 1t.
Whatever tool you use, cultivate the
alfalfa. 1t is crop that will pay
literally for all the labor spent upon 1t.

Two Elements That Mark the
New Fashions That Come
From Paris.
DAY OF THE TALL WOMAN
She ls No Longer Compelled to Wear
the Extremely Abbreviated Skirt
Of the Last Three Years
Evening Gowns Have
Dignity.

New York.-Any Observant person
glancing over the masses of women
gathered in the large centers would
not say that there was any lack OF
new autumn dressing. Hundreds OF
new gowns were worn, and winter hats
made their appearance in mid-Septem-
Der, but the burden Of the dressmak-
ers' plaint was that these models were,
as a rule, bought from the shops at
reasonable prices and that the expen-
sive gowns which cost them such an
amazing sum of money were neglected.
The early autumn was perplexing
in regard to fashions. No expert who
saw behind the scenes can deny 1t. If
America had not been peculiarly pros
porous, If the stock market had not
been turning men into milliOnaires
with a rapidity that took the breath
away, the situation would have been
tragic to the importers.
You see, the prices in Paris have
never reached such a height in the
history of wOmen's clothes. That's a
big statement, but on reading the

TREATMENT OF COLLAR GALL
Tannic Acid Is One of Best Remedies
Easily Applied by Rubbing
Lightly Over Collar.

Tannic acid is one of the very best
remedies for collar gals, according to
l.. S. Backus of the Missouri college of
agriculture. 1t can be secured from
any drug store and is easily applied by
rubbing lightly over the collar every
morning and evening If the horse Is
working.
Collar gals usually appear either at
tie top of the neck or at the point OF
the shoulder where an imprOperly-fit-
ted collar rubs. 1t Is important that
the collar be kept clean at all times
in order that it may be kept from cut
ting into the neck, but special care In
keeping it clean Is necessary after
these gals start. IAN ounce of pre-
vention is worth a pound Of cure"

and to be young and to look young
will be the whip over every woman

on this subject there are thousands

last three years excessively difficult

Of fashion.
Adapted Themselves to Fashion.
Short. skirts in the evening were
comfortable because dancing was the
universal recreation. but when short
skirts left the length demanded by the
fox trot and almost reached the
length demanded by the ballet, 1t was
necessary to do something strange IN
the way of a new fashion.
America produced an entire race OF
women to meet these new gowns, II
would seem, for the tall, AnglO-Saxon
type has felt like giant among LII
liputians, like a well-clothed woman
against a native Hawaiian, in the
clothes which she selected. Where all
the little women came from, gracious

selves to the consistency of planked

Languld Girl Not Popular

second empire, and also before the
French revolution under the reigns OF
Louis XIV and Louis XVI. 1t Is quite
possible that the statement can stand
without argument.
Cite Higher Cost Of Materials.
France excused herself on the plea
that material was so costly to produce
that the designers had to put out an
immense amount of capital to secure
the right fabrics to create gowns that
the Americans would buy. She in
sists that she did not make more than
her usual percentage out Of the more

If you wonder why half the matrOns
In the country are smiling as they
come out of the dressmaking places
and shops, 1t is because their day In
dress has come. We will now be state
ly in the evening.
This does not mean that one shall
instantly relax vigilance over the flesh.
Double chins, pad ut the back Of the
neck. rounded hips and thickened
diaphragm, are no more desirable now
than they were six months ago.
The doctors have made so much OF
this fight against flesh, approving OF
It in its moderate form and urging
1t upon every woman in the name OF
health. that 1t is not probable that we
shell let the figure grow old merely
because the fashions have changed.

With the exception of a few eccen-
tricities. all the evening gowns pre-
sent a stately effect and give q vivid
impression Of dignity. They hang in
straight lines down the figure, 1t is
true, and have not a regulation waist
line, but the absence Of frivOlity and
the presence of ecclesiastical needle
work, touch up each frock with
ceremonial aspect.
1nfreQuently, In the new evening
gowns. one sees way of escape from
needlewOrk for the woman who does
not wish to adopt it. Its expense is
against it. where the majority of wom-
en- are concerned. 1t is not possible
to get this kind Of needlework cheaply
done, and all manner of bullion threads
and colOred crystals have advanced in
price. The dressmakers are already
substituting cheaper trifles for these
costly ones, as in the first place, few
women will pay the original price, and
in the second place, 1t is difficult to
get the material and workmanship in
this country.
However, for the satisfaction of
those who like the conservative rather
than the new. there is the truth star
ing one pleasantly in the face that
