OTTAWA, Ont, Sept, 81. - Canadi-
an chartered banks have subscribed
$50, 100000 to the domestic war issue
of 100000, goo. This subscription will
be assumed by banks III proportion to
their paid-up capital.
The banks will only receive of the
war loan what is not desired by the
general public and it is believed that
all the issue win be taken by the pub
lie. SO far it is known that over $780,
100000 has been subscribed by the
public and subscription sheets will re
main open until Saturday night.
All Canadian war expenditure and
the financing of British war purchases

required to be placed in the United

WORLDS CHAMPION
DAIRY COW ENTERED
Sophie 10th, Valued at $4,000, to Be
One of 1900 Animals at Ma
tional Dairy Show.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 81. -
Entries for the national dairy show
closed last night. Approximately 1900
head of cattle will be exhibited, ac-
eording to the estimates formed by
the officials. Owing to the immense
amount of detail information connected
with each entry blank, it will probably
be another day before the exact num-
Der can be learned. All records, how
ever, will be broken as the largest mum
Der of dairy cows ever placed on exhi-
bition at any show in the past was I'M
der 500. In addition. the exhibits will
be of greater value than at any time in
the past. For the first time in six years
G. l. Hood of Lowell will exhibit So
lphie 10Th of Hood farm, champion
dairy cow of the world, valued at oven
$4,000.
Sophie is a Jersey, a granddaugh-
| ter of Tormentor, said to be the most
/ famous bull ever raised. From a long
| line of blue ribbon winners Sophie has
attained the highest marks ever set bA
any COW of any breed. Her register OF
merit test for one year is l. ,557 pounds
II ounces Of milk, the equivalent Of
! 1.175 pounds and 7 ounces of butter
For five years her record is Gf,00,
pounds and / ounces of milk, the equiv
alent of ALL pounds and IA ounce
of butter. Her owner refused an offe
of $4,000 for her about year agt
and it is said he would not conside
an offer of twice that amount
For six years Mr.. Hood has stead
fastly refused to allow Sophie to b.
exhibited for fear that harm Nigh
come to her at the exhibitions. due t
chance for possible injury going t
and from the shows, and from lack o
care at the exposition. This yeal
however, he has agreed to place her q
exhibition on account of the manne
in which the cattle building was cor
structed and because of his loyalt
to New England. On account of hi
action many breeders have been i,
fnenced not only ito attend the fai
but to enter high grade stock Til

Opposition among some OF the small
country banks to the par collection sys-

Reserve Board has rcce' ved another slap
through n ruling of the board that checks
drawn upon member banks. with the
clause payable In exchange at current
rates stamped upon them are not valid

the board says that a check must call for
the payment OF a definite sum Of money,
which must he stated upon its face. and
that under no condition can that sun he

Copper Market Factors.

Interests Identified with the copper
trade assert that the metal for delivery
before the end OF the first half Of 1917
almost has reached the vanishing point.
Sales OF copper for the first six months
OF next year have been made at the best
prices reported since 1873. when the
metal was quoted at IS cents the pound.
The record price 10 far made for next
year at - cents for large amounts COM
pares with about IS cents for the
first half of this year and a little more
than ~ cents In the same time last year.
Never In the history OF the copper trade
OF modern years has there been so long
n period OF consistent strength In price.
as In 1916 and In 1915. the only COMPARE
son being with civil war days, when the
quotation advanced from - cents in 1860
10 IS cents In 1864. the highest ever re-
