RESERVE
BANKING SYSTEM IS
SEVERELY TESTED

NEW YORK. Nov. ll.-All other con-
Sidcrations and Developments of trem-
u!ous week in the stock market were
rendered insignificant by the foreign sit
uation. The further TeutonIc invasion
OF Italy and the overthrow of the Rus
sian provisional government provoked
the most drastic liquidation Of the year.
and in some respects weakened the list
TO the Greatc1t extent since the inauEu.
ration Of the war.
Rates on Petrograd and Rome broke
precipitatcly. Russian government bonds
deprecated TO levels that excited con-
Germ regarding forthcoming interest pay
ments. and the man yforcIEn war bonds
which form 4 considerable part of the
daily dealings on the local exchange
were at new discounts OF ; TO per
cert.
Ranking support offered at opportune
moments checked the decline. but tho
shriukaEe OF quoted values was almost
beyond computation. Only at rare inter-
walls. however. did the recession assume
aay OF the alarming aspects that accom-
panied the falling markets Of the past
i've or ten years.
Leading financial interests are unant-
nous in affirming that basic conditions
rest on the most solid foundaton Of any
time in almost three years. General
tribute is paid to the Federal Reserve
system and the clasticit yof its opera
ti"nS. which is believed to have mininl-
lied many threatened dangers.
Regarding the immediate future. Wall
street is hopeful of several things Fore

Foremost among these Is the carly an

WHEN TAXPAYERS FOOT BILL
Lead Pencils Are Not Treasured BY
School Boys Now as They Were
in Days Gone BY.

"Helloi" said l. whats that?' Ana
I stopped to pick it up.

pened to be passing through the school

lead pencil"
"But it is a whole one" said l, "and

that you have seen this here before?"
Eyes, everybodys seen It,
"All the children in your school have

not one boy has picked 1t upY'
"Of course. What should we pick 1t
up for? There's plenty in the school

/ had been given a text for long
meditation. Not pick up whole new

When 1 was boy we priced even
slate pencils. A boy who hooked any
body's slate pencil was baited until he
gave it up; but a lead pencil-we
fought for lead pencils as the Greeks
and Trojans fought for Helen. We
secured the countryside for old horse
shoes to sell to the blacksmith for
money enough to buy lead pencil;
and, having it, we cut our private mark
on it, guarded it, kept it as our last re-
source in trade. Many a time precious
two-inch lead pencil has turned an i'm
portant jackknife trade one way or
the other. i never had but one lead
pencil at a time, and often hardly that,
until l was fifteen years old; and these
ten-year-olds scorn to pick up whole

Here's to Laughter.

Here's to laughter, the sunshine Of
the soul, the happiness of the heart,
the leaves of youth, the privilege Of
purity, the echo of innocence, the
treasure of the humble, the wealth OF
the poor, the head of the cup of pleas
ure, exclaims a writer in the New
York Herald. 1t dispels detection,
banishes blues and mangles melan-
choly, for it's the foe of woe, the de-
stroyer of depression, the enemy OF
grief; it is what makes kings envy
peasants, plutocrats envy the poor, the
guilty envy the innocent; it's the
sheen on the silver of smiles, the rip
pie on the waters delight, the CLINT
Of the gold of gladness; without it
humor would be dumb, wit would
wither, dimples would disappear and
smiles would shrivel, for it's glow Of
a clean conscience, the voice Of pure
soul. the birth cry of mirth, the swan
song of sadness.

Spelling A STORY'S EFFECT
Better-to-Do Relatives Have Disccn-
certing Way Of Rushing One
to the Point.

When you are telling something,
don't you hate for the listener to urge
you to come to the point at once2
Especially is this true in q case where
you have managed something very
skillfully, and wish, In telling about
1t, to give credit where credit is due.
AS q rule, better-to-do relatives are
impatient, and don't seem to care to
hear your whole story, writes Claude
Callan in the Fort Worth Star-Tele-
gram.
Years ago a better-to-do sent us to
a neighbours house to borrow buck
saw. We were proud to do this for
him, and when we returned we left
the saw in the yard, stepped into the
house and said to Better: "Well,
when l got over there l found that he
wasn't at home. His wife wouldn't
let the saw go, so l went down to the
river where he was fishing. He said
he didn't think that it was at home.
He thought he had lent 1t to his broth
err, and So"
"Oh, blank it." said Better, "dld you
get the saw"

Making Play OF Work

Making play OF work is often good,

Thus, when seeking the aid of

can get such magnet for ten cents.

Millions for Farm Demonstration

The power of Germany is due to the farm demon
