The motorist who puts off buying Goodyear
Tires, or who consents to being supplied with some.
thing else, is suffering a needless burden of expense.
For Goodyear Tires do give better service than
ordinary tires-and are proving it on the roads of
America every day.
The country over they are delivering greater
mileage, more comfort and larger freedom from
trouble than common tires.
That they last longer, that they stand up better
under punishment, that they yield better results
with less attention than other tires-is the common
experience of all Goodyear users.
The conclusive evidence of every statement
that we make here is available in your own neigh
borhOod.
There are Goodyear users all about you-the
ratio throughout the nation is one Goodyear user to
every five motorists.
Ask one Of these Goodyear users whom you
~know-acrosst the road, perhaps, or over the hill
what he thinks of his tires.

Federal Reserve BOARD
Will Ask Congress TO
Amend Statutes
LEGISLATION AIMS
TO ASSURE FUTURE
Proposed Amendments
Promise Increased Con-
troll of Loan Extensions

Washington. Jan. 13.--Amendmehts
70 the Federal Reserve act designed
N Mace the United States on tnot-
oughly sound basis Of financial pre-
naredness for whatever the future may
bring during the continuance OF the
war and after It's termination have
been nut into a definite form by the
Federal Reserve Board and soon VIII
be introduced in Congress.
The chief unforeseen financial prob
lens which the country has faced since
the war started have resulted, board
officials believe. from the huge gold
innovations, which have tended to up
set former economic and financial con
ditions. and the recommendation for
new legislation are aimed principally
at controlling loan extensions based
on these gold accretions.
Control of Panics
The amendments proposed are de-
signed to provide means for control
LING an over-extension of loans based
on new accretions TO our gold stock
and to provide for the mobilization
and concentration of the gold hold
ings Of the United States so that the
flow Of gold back into Europe or South
America or to the Orient may be ar
ranged without forcing any violent
contraction of loans or causing undue
disturbance to legitimate business.
"The Federal Reserve Board has pro-
posed that Congress increase the re-
ouired reserves to be maintained by
member banks with the Federal Re
serve banks" says statement by the
board. "On November II. 1916, the
cash holdings of all member banks
were about SSl5.O0O,0O0. Under the
proposed amendment S25O,OOO,OOO OF
This amount would be transferred TO
the Federal Reserve banks. Hence the
board believes that ultimately the law
should require of member banks no
more than that they should maintain

ouirement as TO the amount of cur
rency that a member bank should carry

Currency Reserves Lowered
"This is a matter of business judg-
ment that might we'll be left to the dis
erection of each member bank. 1t was
thought, however, that if this principle
were carried into full effect at this
time the step might be considered too
extreme, particularly under present
conditions, and nothing should be done
that might tend to further release Of
reserve money. A minimum amount Of
currency that the member banks should
be required to keep in their vaults is

Washington. Jan. 13.-Disoussion OF
the Presidents railroad programme
with regard to strike preventon-in the
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee
to-day developed that there is at least
a danger II may never get any further
than a committee pigeonhole. This
does not mean that no railroad legisla-
ton will be reported. for some sort Of
legislation, particularly that relating to
the increasing OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission, will slmost certain
ly come out of committee and may even
be enacted. But il vote had been
taken in the committee to-day the com
pulsory investigation feature and that
giving the President the power to take
over and operate the railroads in the
event of a strike would certainly have
been voted down.
Action Expected Tuesday
Following to-day's meeting Chairman
Newlands sent out a special notice to
all members Of the committee TO be
present at a meeting on Tuesday, at
which final action is expected on the
railroad legislation. II is possible that
with all the Democratic members pres
ent favorable report on al the legls-
lation desired by the President may be
obtained. though this is not regarded
as probable.
If reported. however, the legislation
relating 20 compulsory investigation
will be interned on the Senate calen-
dar until March 4. The Senate's pro-
CIamme is so jammed with work that It
~-''1 ho on easv matter for the oppo-

from being taken up, for with only
seven weeks remaining of the present
session the Senate is now in the throes
OF p ilibuster on the water power bill,
while not single appropriation meas
ure has been considered.
If the Administration will consent TO
q careful extraction OF the teeth from
the Canadian investigation plan It is
probable that the opposition will per-
nit the passage of an innocuous sub
sttute.
May Adopt ''Toothless" Plan
The "toothless" plan which may be
adopted, and which would not be
strongly opposed, provides for an en-

OF the best plants for seed selection.
These should, be selected during the
growing season, care being taken to
mark good typical plants that pro-
duce abundant crops of round uni
form fruits. The seed should not be
selected from large individual fruits
here and there throughout the patch,
but from plants producing the largest
number OF fruits of the type desired
The seed can be obtained by cutting
the fruits and washing out the seeds
to separate them from the pulp.
1t is very easy matter to save
seeds of the different classes of gar
den beans. AS with tomatoes, a part
of the patch should be preserved for
seed purposes. If seed is not collect
ed until the latter part of the season,
1t is apt to be late and of inferior
quality The seed should be thorough
ly dried and stored in tight containers
to protect from weevils.
Seed may readily be saved from
cabbage; collard; rape; mustard; tur-
nips and beets; lettuce; endive and
spinach. Turnips and beets can be
carried over winter and planted out
in spring. The seed should be collect
ed by beating it out over canvas or
thrashing with fail.
In the South, where melons; canta-
loupes; squash; cucumbers and pump
kins grow to perfection, the condi-
tons should be ideal for producing
seeds of these different crops. The
plants of this family readily inter
pollinate. Care must be taken so
that each type is grown sufficiently
far from the ather so there will be
no mixing of seed.-Prof. w. n. HUT.

SAVE THE GARDEN SEED.

Vegetable seed will be high in price
and of inferior quality next year. 1t
is good preparedness to save them
now from the home gardens for meet
ing this emergency, says Prof. w. n.
HUT, in the Progressive Farmer.
Good tomato seeds can be saved i.
any garden. 1t is not wise to leave
seed selection to the surplus fruits
left over at the end of the season.
Tic best method is to set apart few
