A Cumberland VnItey
Fine Drive

a short time ago, was over good roads, crossing
the Susquehanna.
It was not only most enjoyable to SEQ, but
all quite a confirmation of the reputation OF
Pennsylvania for splendid big farms, comfort
giving homes, all of which betokened the
continuing prosperity of the Keystone State.
But the most delightful thing to notice was
the improvements in the towns and villages and
the spacious and well-kept stores in every town.
We are not wholesalers and trying to win
favor to sell goods to them, but on the contrary,
many of our best customers live in every town
in the State: and this is to commend To them their
own good stores, TO whom they should always
give the preference in supplying their wants.
They can help TO make their stores better
by faithfully supporting them. We have
increasingly large business and IT must get
larger as the Store grows in attractions. We
invite our out-of-town friends to come and see
the fashions and only buy of lis what they caJ,not
get at their own stores.

No man can arise in his seat on the floor of the Senate and say that that amend ment to the federal reserve board act was not the legislation that the execu- tive branch of the government thought necessary and wise at the time to take care of the situation. It was passed as the President wanted it: it was passed under his urgent request. It is known: the banking interests of America know what it is; the borrowing interests of America know what it is It is fixed it is known. Business men can move along, knowing what conditions they have to face from the governmental side and knowing the men with whom they have to deal.

 Why should we not adopt the pending amendmeat2 The pending amendment merely proposes to exempt from the terms of this general reorganization bill the federal reserve board, board but recently created by the Congress of the United States and but recently approved by the chief executive of the land. More than that, the ink is hardly dry on the signature of the President to a bill ap- proved on April 5, 1918, creating a war finance corporation, which is an amend ment to the federal reserve board act changing and increasing the powers of that board, a bill recommended by the Secretary of the Treasury, in order that he might carry out the war purposes of the government on the financial side. The very purpose of the legislation creat- ing the war finance corpora ton was to reorganize the federal reserve board. so that is could cooperate in every way with the war necessities of the govern ment. That legislation has been approved by the President of the United States: indeed, it met with his approval before 1t was passed.
