PLEA FOR UNIFORMITY
IN STATE BANK LAWS
Request Also Made for Legislation
to Encourage State Institutions
to Join Federal System.

A concerted movement by state
banking interests to obtain uniform
ity of state bank laws and federal leg
isiation TO encourage state institu-
tions to join the federal reserve sys-
tenn has been undertaken through the
United States Council Of State Banking
Associations.
From newly established headquar-
ters Of the council here, a statement
issued today explained that 'it is
hoped by close cooperation with the
Federal Reserve Board legislation will
be secured which will permit all state
banks the character Of whose bust
ness makes them eligible to become
members Of the federal reserve sys-
tenn"
The statement says further that "in
establishing an office in Washington
the council did not have in view the
creation of an agency to advocate leg
isiation designed merely to give one
class of banks, or banks in one To-
cality, an advantage over others. but
rather to assist as far as possible in
the constructive development of our
banking laws, to the end that our
banking resources may continue to
meet the abnormal demands made
upon them"

Every least sentence you say.

What is The Boy Saying? Saying right now,
Is Uncle Ike's misery better?
Is the rubber plant dead? Do the Browns keep cow
Which word did you kiss in your letter?
Is Cousin Mark making his annual boast
OF his expectations father?
Was your dinner last Sunday steak a roast?
And the mayonnase? Was it bother?
How is the market for Federal Dyes?

And the wig like a lobster salad?

Do you visit that place where stood the shore?
Does the moon look the same in the water?
Has Baabaa forgotten her 'two-times-is-four?"
And that naughty French song that taught her?
I'm keen for it all-every moment you live,
Every thought, every breath, every habit
Is the chafngdish working? Nm! what would give
For one midnight coffee and rabbit
And speaking Of such, I'd give all the sour wine
They make on this side of the
For little sip from that sweetheart of mine
Whose lips make me drunk with emotion
So write to me- dearest, write to me-
Tattlings and tid-bits and tatters
Nothing is trfng trte to me,
Every least little thing matters
Everything Of you is shareable
But silence and that is unbearable. -
