How Federal Reserve Banking
System Aids the Liberty Loan
But for These Federal Banks 1t Doubtful the Two Bond
Issue Could Have Been Successfully Negotiated

NEW YORK, Oct 27.-On the grounC
floor in the southeast corner of the
Equitable building is what to the cas-
uaI observer might appear to be
small ban. Its appearance is decep-
tive, for, although the room one en-
tere from the main door in Nassau
street is not large, the space occupied
by the bank is spread out over sew
eral floors above and below the
ground 1t is the Federal Reserve
Bank for the Second District
There are eleven other such banks
in as many districts distributed
throughout the country, These twelve
banks, operating as units of the Fed
eraI Reserve system, made it possible
for the government to borrow two bill
lion dollars from its citizens in the
form of the first Liberty Loan and will
make it possible to float the second
Liberty Loan OF more than three bill
lion dollars without disastrous dis
organization of the nations financial
and business life. This is the opinion
of the experts. Benjamin Strong,
Governor of the Reserve Bank in New
Cork, was asked the other day what
would have happened to the country
OF the attempt to float the two Iiber-
ty Loans had been made without tho
machinery of the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN.
Il might as well try to say what
would happen if the sun stopped shin
ing" he said 1t is impossible to tell
what would have happened How the
two Liberty Loans could be fioated
without the Reserve Banks, do not
know l really don't see how the
loans would have been possible. OF
all the fortunate things that happened
to this country before the war, the
of the Federal Reserve
SYSTEM was certainly as important as
any
The natural question for the lay
man to ask is: Why are the Reserve
Banks so important? Mr. Strong out
lines in this interview the two main
features of the Reserve Banks func-
ton in connection with the Liberty
Loans.
We are a selling organization TO
dispose of the governments bonds

to keep the balance in the banking and
business world and prevent disturb
ance that might result from such big
transactions as the floating Of the LII

WASHINGTON, D.

first be imperative that the indus tries themselves should be con- scriptcd, since in the SccrctGry's opinion public sentiment would not tolerate the conscription of labor for private profit.

All members of the Equalization Board were present (eScept Ross) in the Ci.y Hall last night when Mayor Lomcn called the meeting to ord2r shortly after 8 D. m. MT, Segerstrom in behalf of the firm of Scgcrstrom and Hagen objected to the proposed increase of the afore- said firm s assessment from $10,500 to $13,500. After MT. SCgerStrom had explained to the Board that the firm had shipped in practically no Mayor asked MT Segcrstrom. Do you consider there is any dcprcciable difference in the value of the stock of MT. Mueller and that which is carried by the firm which you now represent?"

Which nev- erthelcss is the selling price, wheth- CT MT. Lomen said so or not. Mir. Simson asked the Board if every concern which is conducting a bus mess in the City is being taxed on the actual value of their goods. The answer sounded to tho scribe something like this. The members of the Board are not going around examining the retail price list in each individual store. Louis still protested that the assessment was too high on the valuation of the stock in the Surprise Store. The Board didn't deem it advi3cable to reconsider the $2,000 increase.
 Mir. Carleton, MT. Richard Morris and Professor Grimm representing the School Board addressed the Council and after a lengthy discus sion and explanations made pro and con.

WORK OUT PROBLEM
OF MARKETING EGGS
Plan to Avoid Conditions Which
Are Responsible for Deter
i0rati0n of Product.

(By L. E. CARD. Connecticut Expert
ment Station.)
The poultry mans problem in mar
keting eggs may be stated as how to
avoid those conditions which are re-
sponsible for the determination Of the
product during the time that must
elapse between its production and con-
sumption. The correct and careful
working out of this problem will result
in the highest cash returns for the
Eggs produced.
Some of the points to be considered
n this connection are:
1. Provide plenty Of nests and keep
them clean and dry. This is impor-
ant to prevent soiled eggs.
2. Collect eggs twice each day. In
very hot weather three times a day
Is better. During the warm weather
an egg will spoil in a short time. If
the eggs are left in the nest all day,

Jose Sanchez Swears an Oath.
Jose Sanchez made use Of the delay
at Pueblo to institute further inquiries
regarding his missing cousin, but no.
where could he find the slightest trace.
Jose swore an oath that he would learn
the truth if it required his whole life
time, and, If it should turn out that
his sainted relative had indeed met
with foul play-well! Jose told his
friends they could judge, by looking at
him, the sort of man he was. He proud
ly displayed Longorio's revolver, and
called it his Cousins little avenger. The
weapon had slain many ; it had a duty
still to perform, so he said.
Jose intended to confide his purpose
to Mrs. Austin, but when it came time
to start for Las Palmas there was a
fourth passenger in the automobile,

ture. This means n lOwergrade egg
than if they are collected often.
3. Candle all eggs and grade them
for size and color. Fresh eggs should
be candled to detect blood clots, meat
spots and checks. Careful grading Is
important If highest returns are to be
realized. A given number of eggs will
bring more in u high-class market If
separated into two lots, each uniform

all shipped as one lot Of mixed &
4. Ship often. Do not hold eggs
more than four days. In warm wealth
er it is better to ship three times u
week.
5. Egg packages should be clean,
strong, light in weight, neat in APP
pearance, easily handled, and rs low
in cost as is consistent with good
quality. They should afford an oppor-
tunity for advertising, and this feature
should be used to it's fullest capacity
by the producer.
6. Make the eggs do their W ad-

firm seeded by blowing. disking and
narrowing.
4. For best results fertilize the
crop with 200 to 600 pounds to the
acre of fertilizer carrying 1 to 2 per
cent ammonia, 8 to 10 per cent phos-
phoric acid and 1 to 3 per cent potash.
This fertilizer Is best applied by
drilling it into the seeded through the
fertilizer dropper of a grain drill. If
you do not have a drill, scatter the
fertilizer evenly over the bean ground
and work it into the soil by disking
and narrowing before the beans are
planted.
This available plantfood will in
crease bean yields and hasten the
ripening Of the crop.
In %cultivating the crop, be careful
to work the soil shallower each culti-
walton. Do not cultivate after the
beans begin to flower.
Buy healthy seed If possible. Some
growers claim that spraying bean
