Health Will Improve.

The health of hundreds of people
will very materially improve after
March 10, which is the date fixed for
the amended qusrt-a-month law to
take effect. Heretofore the judge of
probate had no right to question the
oaths of persons applying for liquor
permits but under the amended law he
can tell an applicant thathe is "tellin'
one of them things" and refuse his
request. After March 10 sick persons
will have to call on the druggists for
medicine, as the Judge of probate will
go mighty slow issuing liquor per-
Inits.

Farmer Having His Day.

There was a time, and not many
years ago either, when, figuratively
speaking, farmers had to go about with
hats in hand begging for his rights.
The tables have turned and everybody
now bows deferentially to Mr., Farmer.
He is the greatest man in the country
to-day. No other individual or set of
individuals receive so much considera-
tion at the hands of the government.
More money..is being expended, in one
way or another, for the benefit of the
agricultural class than any other pro-
fession or interests. The government

harvest and is then aiding in market.

citation. The date for the meeting

There was opposition to any effort to secure change in the state law which would make it possible for the state banks of Colorado to join the system. A member from Colorado said that if the door was opened so that the state banks of Colorado could join the sys tenn if they wished 10, pressure would be brought to bear on them and would be impossible for them long to withstand it.
 A variation of this situation in Arkansas caused discussion The state banks of Arkansas are required to carry larger reserve than is req ir- ed by the federal reserve law. By joining the reserve system an Arkan- sas state bank would probably have its reserve reduced and. in addition to the other advantages which attach to membership in the reserve system fl would have the advantage over the other state banks. 1t was urged that if Arkansas state banks were to join lthe system, they should still be amenable to the law of the state as to reserve requirements. The majority disagreed with this opinion.
 Lurldng behind the arguments was a singular mixture of friendn ness and hostility to the reserve SIS tenn. The friendliness was pronounce ed al all times and, as one banker said ir bespoke a sincere devotion to the reserve system and a firm behet in its efficiency. The hostility. felt rather than expressed showed a dis taste for the regulatory measures of the Federal Reserve Board and the disposition of that body to impose upon the banks rules and restrictions which are often irkSome and always

There are upwards ot 2u,- 900 state chartered institutions m the country and there was an expression of disappointment when il was re- ported that only All are members JT the reserve system. Great efforts have been made to induce these banks to join The reserve law has been changed and amended so that tea- lures especially objected to have been corrected. Appeals have been made by the reserve board. Last fall Pres ident Wilson issued a formal request
 that the state banks come in and add their resources to those of the banks already members to the end that the strength of the reserve sys-

 banks are in the system. It was re- garded as much more gratifying that the resources of the 444 banks were over five billion dollars This was taken to indicate that the larger stare banks have joined the system and that the laegards are the thousands of small state banks which wish ap- parently to preserve their ndepend- ence.
