FARMERETTES RALLIED
TO COUNTRY'S AID.
Colonial Newspaper Story Of
1776 Reads Like Present
Day Item.

They had farmerettes during the
Revolution. Nothing new under the
sun, it seems. Here is a paragraph
which appeared in the New England
Chronicle September 5, 1776:
Philadelphia Since the departure
of the able-bodied men from the forts
OF the Brandywine in Chester County,
in the service of their country, the
patriotic young women, to prevent the
evil that would follow the neglect of
putting in the fall crop in season, have
Joined the plows and are preparing the
fallows for the seed: and should their
fathers, brothers and lovers be defeat
ed abroad in defense of the liberties of
these States, they are determined to
put in the crop themselves very
laudable example and highly worthy
of imitation
There is such a familiar ring to
that paragraph that it is difficult to
believe that it does not bear cur
rent date.

set aside June 81 for the vote or agree
to consider it continuously from that
date until final disposition. Brief de-

When an effort few weeks ago to

NATIONAL BANKS STRONGER AND SAFER
ASU.S. BECOMES WORLDS MONEY POWER
Resources Greatest in History Nation Notwithstanding Shock
\ War and Immense Loans Other Countries Banking
Power of United States Seven Times Greater Than
in 16eo Says Financial Expert

In his report to Congress on the
operations of the banking system for
the twelve months ending October 81,
1917, the comptroller of the currency
says, in part:
The national banks of the United
States are stronger, safer and more
closely observant of the laws and more
efficiently managed than ever before.
This encouraging fact is especially i'm
pressive and important now while the
life of the nation and the great alli-
ance of which we are a part depend
so largely upon our ability to furnish
the enormous financial resources in
dispensible for victory.
Resources Greatest on Record.
Their resources - SIS, $50, ,197 900
exceed by S2,OO9, ,698 900 the greatest
resources ever before reported, and are
50, ,527 SIS 900 greater than the COM
bined resources of all the state banks
doing a commercial business) and of
all reporting private banks and trust
companies as Of June 20, 1917, the lat
est date as of which state bank re-
turns have been compiled.
The latest statement of condition
prior to the Inauguration of the fed
eral reserve system was that of Oc-
tober 81, 1914, when the resources
of the national banks were Sll 1872
100000 After three years operation
under the federal reserve act, the re-
sources on November 20, 1917, are
reported to Je SIS .553 900, 900, an in
crease of 81 900 600, or per cent.
The report just prior to the inaugu-
ration of the federal reserve system
Of all state banking institutions was
for June 80, 1914, when the resources
Of all reporting state banks and trust
companies amounted TO Sl5,5S9 ,OO0,-
600. The date Of the last compilation
0f state banking statistics was June
20, 1917, when their resources were
$50 .S3s ,O000 600, an increase Of 81 per
cent While the average increase in
resources OF all banks. both state and
national. was 80 per cent. the national
banks increased 81 per cent and the
state banks and trust companies only
80 per cent in the three-year period
referred TO.

LACK OF PATRONAGE" Is RE-
PORTED BY BOWERY MISSION.
Creators Of Wealth Faring Best in n
Social Order That Has Upset All
Previous World Standards.

It is a strange confirmation Of the
upside -dowuueSs of our present social
order that at time when the great
est known destruction of wealth is in
progress the creators Of wealth should
fare best. Yet this appears to be the
inference to draw from the widely
heralded statement that the bread line
Of the Bowery mission has been sus-
pended for lack of patronage"
This country has seen phenomenal
periods of prosperity, as the world
measures prosperity, yet it could not
get thru a winter without the dole
of bread to those out of work and
unable to buy. But at time when
the world is called upon to make
supreme sacrifice, n time when con-
Sumers of luNurieS, and even dispen-
sable comforts, are called upon to
limit their individual consumption in
order that there may be the more for
war, it is Cleefully announced by the
press that the bread line has been dis
continued.
Charity still finds it necessary to
care for the sick and MANNED, but
there is no call to aid workers because
they lack Jobs. The fact should cause
statesmen to reflect. Ii is their duty
as public leaders to discover and apply
the means that will prevent the ap-
pearance of the bread line with the re
turn of peace. They must do this or
make way for those who will; for the
world will no longer tolerate condi-
tions in which the creators of wealth
suffer from want.-The Public.

having increased by l4,34S 900 900
since the commencement Of the present
administration.
The banking power of the world in
1890 was estimated by Mulhall at
S15, 5,55S 600 900 The banking power of
this country is nov two and a half
(2l2) times as great as the banking
power of the whole world, according
to Mulhall, as late as 1890 The bank
ing power of the United States now is
more than seven times as great as in
1890.
Continuing, the comptroller gives
warning that with the immense deveI-
opment of our financial resources our
duties and responsibilities have grown
proportionately Upon Us now de-
wolves the task of supplying not only
our own vital needs, but Of keeping
ourselves strong and ready TO meet
the demands which are being and will
continue TO be made upon US by our
allies in the world struggle. 1t is,
he points out, of supreme Importance
that allurements of profit from COM
merce or industry in this country or
in neutral countries, for purposes not
I .
should not induce US To direct or dis
sipate the capital or financial re-
sources of our people.
Withstanding Shocks of War.
The comptroller, reviewing briefly
the financial and business conditions
during the year, the imitation in COM
modify prices, and the depression in
securities, declares that the enactment
Of emergency laws, errrusting the
President with powers uueEampled in
this country to fix prices for food
fuel, etc, has averted Ca.aulties which
no financial system, however strong
or powerful. could hav prevented or
overcome.
The comptroller show that in the
past three calendar years the aggre-
gate balance Of trade Ir our favor has
exceeded $1,000. 100000 We have I'M
ported about a billion dollars of gold;
have practically paid OK the S5,0O0,-
100000 which we owas at the out
break Of the war in the shape Of Amer
lean securities held abroad: and have
loaned over S2,OO0,OO0ug0 in various
foreign countries exclusive Of the large
