THE NEW CONFERENCE BILL

The Ladies Review: Some of our
members are yet unfamiliar with the
December, 1917, requirements of the
New York Conference Bill for all
fraternal societies. For their infor-
nation, simple statement of facts
is here given. The Mobile Bill re-
CURED a 5 per cent improvement in
valuation every three years, which
might have been rather a severe eff
fort for societies adjusting their
rates to adequacy. The New York
Conference Bill is later modified or
revised form of the Mobile Bill, re-
curing only that fraternal society
shall maintain itself in as good con-
dition in the future as its valuation
shows it December 81, 1917. Every
society should certainly do this, in
justice to its members.
The New York Conference Bill will
help societies which have been on
cheap rates to get on a permanent
basis before it is too late. 1t will
also improve conditions for the fra
ternal system as a whole, in that
eventually the agitation from the re-
adjustment will be over as a result
of its operation. This is the first
year when the New York Conference
Bill goes into effect. Our members
are therefore urged to fix these facts
in their minds so that when ap-
preached for information, they will
be in position to give it.
The Mobile Bill and later its
amended form, the New York Con-
ference Bill, were adopted by unani-
nous action of the National Frater-
nal Congress after grave considera-
ton and after viewing the matter
from every standpoint, but now that
the provisions are about to go into
effect, reaction has set in among
certain of the cheap rate societies.
They apparently have not the cour-
age to go through the unpopular pro-
cess of readjustment and wish to
repeal the very laws which would
help them to get on a safe basis.

Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel

Ouch ? This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled wit hcorns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few
drops of drug called freezone when
applied to tender, aching corn or
hardened callus stops soreness at once,
and soon the corn or callus dries up
and lifts right off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never infames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle
of freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American WON.

If your druggist doesn't have freezone

VOLUNTEERS. WILL
SELL THE SECOND
j. 5. LIBERTY LOAN

Washington, Sept. In building
armies Uncle Sam has rejected the
volunteer system. However, when
it comes to selling bonds, to feed and
equip the armies, he is still strong
for it. The second and all subse-
quent Liberty Loans are likely to be
handled by bankers and bond dealers
who volunteer.
The first Liberty Loan was ham
died by the treasury department, act
ing through the twelve federal re-
serve district banks and an army
of bankers and bond dealers and pa
triotic citizens. 1t was an impro-
vised organization. It's skeleton in
each federal reserve district will be
retained for the coming campaign.
The only difference is the committees
will be smaller and plans will be
changed in conformity with the ex-
perience in the first campaign.
For instance, in the Philadelphia
district the territory will be so subdi
vided that every resident will be ap-
preached. In New York, on the
other hand, a greater effort than be-
fore will be made to reach great
groups of men through their lodges
and labor unions and at their places
of employment. In the Cleveland
district, even more than last time,
Cleveland, Pittsburg, and Cincinnati
will be pitted against each other in
great race for patriotic supremacy.
Treasury officials are swamped
with letters from bankers, bond

Prizes Be GIVEN
BOYS AND G|RLs|N
PLEAS|NG CONTEST

Contests for the Boys Corn and
Pig Clubs and the Girls Canning
Clubs will be held on Friday, No
vember 16, according to announce
ment made yesterday by C. A. Full
ford, county farm demonstration
agent. Mr.. Fulford stated that the
place for holding the exhibits has not
yet been decided upon, but will be
announced later, as will be the prize
lists.
When announcement was made
that the board of directors of the
fair association had decided not to
hold fair this year, the Corn, Pig
and Canning clubs in the county i'm
mediately began preparations to hold
exhibits, which will probably be
placed at Moline or Gonzalez.
Valuable prizes are offered each
year by Pensacola merchants to the
winners in the clubs, and keen in
terest is taken in the contests. Elk
cellent exhibits have been displayed
in the past, and it is stated that the
display this year far surpass those
which have gone before.
The grand prize in all the contests
is a scholarship to the short course
held at the two state colleges.
AS the cost for sending one of the
club members to these courses is only
about thirty dollars, citizens have
frequently given a scholarship as
prize. Mr.. Fulford has not yet
started active work on the prize list
for the boys clubs, though Miss
Landrum, home demonstration agent,
has progressed well in arranging the
girls list.

from patriotic motives. there are
sound business reasons. Bond deal

with the government in bond selling.
and so might as we'll turn in and

sound securities, just as the French
peasants have for years bought Eng

AMERICA SYSTEM OF FINANCE IS NOW

Banks of Country Are Defi- nitely Established Upon New Reserve Basis, the
 Board Reports

Washington, September 2.-The coun- try's financial system, the federal re serve board announced today. is stronger than it has ever been before.
 Adjustments necessitated by reserve transfers from members banks to fed eral reserve banks, with the consequent shifting of funds, have been completed says the boards statement. The banks of the country are now, therefore, defi- nitely upon the new reserve basis es- tablished by the act of June 21.
 RESOURCES LIQUID
 Act of June 21: Federal reserve banks have continued the policy of maintain ing their resources in as strong and liquid condition as possible, showing on August 24 a percentage of reserves against deposits of S0.6 per cent and against notes of S6.5 per cent.
 There has been continuance Of the movement of state banks into the fed- eral reserve system while by opening clearing accounts with the federal re- serve banks and sending in gold and gold certificates nonmember banks in various parts of the country have been cooperating actively with federal re- serve banks in consolidating the gold re- sources of the country.
 But to these and other contributing factors the federal reserve system finds itself at the opening of autumn in an unprecedentedly strong position, its total holdings of cash on August 24 being sl- 424 769, ,000.''
