BANKERS WARNED
BY RESERVE BOARD
ADVISED TO BE CAUTIOUS IN
TYING UP THEIR FUNDS FOR
FOREIGN LOANS.
Funds Which Should be Available to
American Farmers and Merchants
in Danger of Being Absorbed
for other Purposes.

Washington. American bankers
were warned by the federal reserve
board on Monday TO avoid locking up
their funds by purchasing treasury
bills of foreign governments inyoiv-
ing long term obligations
While specifically disclaiming any
intention of rejecting upon the inan-
cial stability of any nation" the board
advises all investors to proceed with
caution and formally announced TO
member banks of the federal reserve
system that with the liquid funds
which should be available to American
merchants, manufacturers and farm
ers in danger of being absorbed for
other purposes, it does not regard IL
in the interest of the country at this
time that they invest in foreign treas
ury bills of this character.
The statement is regarded In Off.
cial circles as one of the most import
ant declarations by the board since
its creation. Officials would not dis
cuss the question for publication, but
some of them informally Interpreted
the warning as the reserve board an
swer to the recent proposal of J. F.
Morgan & Co., British fiscal agents
in this country, to have American
bankers accept British treasury bills
of an indefinite total issue, secured by
gold reserves held in Ottawa. Such
loans would be for ninety days with
the privilege of renewal for five other
ninety-day periods.
H. p Dawson of the Morgan firm
was in Washington recently and con
ferred with President Wilson and
some of the members OF the reserve
board. 1t was said later that he
sought to have banks of the reserve
system authorized to buy British
treasury bills, as If they were bills
of exchange to cover commercial
transactions.

Work 1t Or Quit

The surtax on vacant lands in Al
berta and SASKATCHEWAN provinces,
Canada, is working so satisfactorily
that there is talk of adopting it iu
Manitoba. 1t has been found that
this form of taxation not only increas
esthe public revenue. but moves land
holders, absentees, and others. to do
something with their real estate 10
order to make it productive. Thus,
the landholder who, under the sys-
tenn which enabled his to draw un-
earned increment from vacant land
because of his neighbours industry
and enterprise, and to hold it for a
RISE" finds it necessary, under the
land surtax system, either to inn
prove the property himself or to sell
it to those who will improve it.

Excitement toBurn

Following is news item contributed
by one of the High School students:
Thursday evening, about 7:45 P. M,
Mr.. L. C. Walker drove up to the gar
age at Richfield for some gasoline.
While he was inside the building pump
ing, the gasoline in the car, in some
mysterious manner, ignjtsd. In the
excitement of the moment the hose
was thrown out, splashing gasoline
over the car and building. Mr.. Walker
managed to get his car away from the
building and extinguish the fire in it
before much damage was done.
Several men who were near seized
the fire hose and turned it onto the
fire which was already very near the
gasoline tank.
1t was only the efficient work of
those present that prevented disas-
trous fire.

you. We've weary grown Of skies of
blue. For then well rest from labor
hard, once more our ribs will take on
lard. Well gather at the cross-road
store, affairs of State discuss once
more While busy mother knits and
spins Wen sit and smoke and roast

prunes and beans. From memory,
summers heat we'll blot, no more the
festive fly we'll swat. For summer
worry to us brings, with bedbugs,
fleas and jacket stings, but winter
brings us calm repose and rest from
worry, work and woes. Dull care
from us will fly aloof, when raindrops
patter on the roof.

HAMPSHIRE
HOGS STAND
AT THE TOP
r. w. Houston, GOoding
Packer Tells Why Hamp-
shires Are Superior to
Other Hogs for Packing.

We are publishing below a letter
written on May 10th, 1916, by R. w.
Houston, secretary and treasurer Of
the Gem State Packing Company of
Gooding, to James E. Cloughey Of
Boise, in which the well known packer
sets forth the essential points of su-
periority of the Hampshire breed of
porkers over other varieties for the
packers use. An early recognition of
these elementary advantages by some
Of our more progressive hog raisers is
responsible, no doubt, for the growing
popularity of the Hampshires in this
section and their increasing propaga-
tion by man who were not too hide
bound to accept manifest improve
ment. Here is the letter:
1--WE have your letter inquiring our
opinion of the Hampshire hog for pack
ing purposes We consider them the
best breed of hogs for the packer. In
the first place the trade in the North
west does not want heavy lard hog.
The demand is for medium ham
and medium weight bacon, and not for
heavy dry salt meats and lard, as lard
has sold the most of the time since we
have been in the packing business at
loss.
We want in our business young hog
weighing 200 pounds or little more,
and a Hampshire hog of that weight
will dress out larger percentage of
hams and bacon, which are the high
est priced meats, than any other hog
we know of.
The hams and bacon of such Hamp-
shire hog will, if well finished, have
plenty of fat and the bacon is nicely
streaked with lean and of good weight
and even thickness all through the
piece.
We are willing at any time to pay
25 cts. more per hundred lbs for Hamp-
shire hogs, and at that. have always
found that they were cheaper, as the
difference in weight of the heads alone
will make up the difference in price,
besides gaming in quality of the hams
and bacon

Some Good Things

J. E. Vertrees is shipping three cars

braska, where they are to be used for
serum purposes. 1t may not be gilt
edged business proposition to selloff so
much breeding stock-aged hogs, mid.
dle-aged hogs, youngish hogs and little
piglets-b but it is certainly an eloquent
testimonial to the quality of the Rich
field stock to come this far for clean,
healthy stuff. The serum business de-
mands healthy stock, and there is no
section of the West where hogs have
been as free from disease as they are
right here.

of Richfield, SO cars of merchandise
and produce during October, an aver
age of almost three cars every day.
Sundays iucluded. 1t wasn't so very
long ago that three cars week, or a
month, would have been fair record.
Most of this shipment was of produce

ditions have been better than ever be-

A CHRISTMAS LETTER TO
DISCONTINUED WIVES

Mrs. Kathleen Norris, in talk
"To Disconnected Wives in the
Christmas Pictorial Review, says:
"Women are natural reformers. IN
theory Even the happiest wife, in
these days, will admit that between
the servant problem, AM. the cost OF
living, and schooling. and the occas-
ional eccentricities of the good man,
she herself has her trials. But, at
the same time, she knows exactly how
the B family, next door, and the A
age much better than they do! If she
could only advise them, she says re.
gretfully. If poor little Mrs. B would
stop picking up that baby every time
it cries, and if they would get rid of
that slatternly maid, and If, instead
of embroidering senseless clothes for
the children, that strong, kind. un-
married sister would come and lend
hand with the housework, 1t would
all be so simple and easyl And If Mrs.
A would move into a smaller house,
and stop buying expensive things lor
which she had no need. and quote her
own family and their opinions little
less, why, she and her husband would
have no cause for all these quarrels!
And so on and on.
But the truth is this. If you can't
