Federal Reserve Efforts.

State banks are to be shown the de-
sirability, perhaps the necessity, Of en-
tering the Federal reserve system by
a campaign now in process of accom-
plishment and which was mentioned
some time ago in this column. The
latest report Is that the education Of
State bankers Is progressing satisfac-
torily. but that additional legislation
may be necessary to add the last scin-
tilla Of evidence to the need for the
step.
Congress Is ready and willing to DO
anything that Is necessary. But 1t is
not ready, even on what some Of the
reserve board members may consider
to be a sufficient spur, to destroy some
Of the very well thought out and SUBJ
stantial principles of the original sys-
tenn. A laxity in letting down the
bars might work irreparable harm, and
the financial leaders Of the House and
Senate see this clearly. They are quite
on their mettle and will permit no
loosening Of the bonds that knitted
the original act together as one of the
most compact and thorough financial
systems ever installed in any country.
The worth Of this system has been
demonstrated during the war period

Congress to be very slow In making
revolutionary changes which may af-

the system and the member banks and

Pat Harrison, present Congressman,
wants the place on the ground that
Senator Vardaman's record was. "all

A third faction now appearing in
the political offing down there, is
boosting former Gov. Noel for the
place, and making prohibition one OF

Much will depend upon what is
done by the Senator and his prospec-
tive opponent in the lower house, dur
ing the session which is soon to con-
vene. Readers Of the doings at the
capital will likely see these two
names in print occasionally, and their
activities will likely be shaped large

The affair in Mississippi will demon
strate which candidate understood
public sentiment most accurately
and which candidate was most per-
suasive in bringing the public to his
viewpoint. Senator vardaman gives
every indication of being cocksure
that his course will meet the APPROVAL

Fourth Regiment Band
Changes Ticket Prices

The members Of the Fourth Regi-
ment band have decided after careful
consideration that it would be best to
cut the prices on the four remaining
concerts and change the location tc
the Goss Hall instead of the Methods
church.
Some people objected to the price
saying that they would like to heal
the concerts, but could not afford a
whole dollar, SO the price has been
cut in two. The aso tickets, I'd.
hitting person to four concerts
will be two dollars.

in the Methodist church was a success

Mrs. Frederick took up the causes
for the high cost of living in detail.
The decreased area OF land available
for beef production and the fact that
American farmers are turning away
from stock raising can be credited
with the increased cost of meat. With
this is to be connected the equally

doesn't know that his headstone lies

A woman has more patience than q
man. She expects to get her reward in
Heaven, but he wants his here on
earth.
You can tell a Corn Fed girl that

that won't make her anxious to take
