There has been no webbing in
Indiana. With keen vision Governor
Goodrich saw the march of future
events-marked with precision
the States course in the war
and piloted her activities with firm
and vigorous hand without procrasti-
nation, without wavering, but with
determined energy that Indiana should
be true to its tradition. He did not
wait for the development of war
spirit to move him. He did not wait
for public sentiment to impel execu-
tive action. He did not wait for a pop
ular demand for preparedness. Among
the first in the land, he saw the war
demands of future days and prepared
while others talked. BY an aggressive
initiative he moulded public sentiment
and led the people of Indiana into the
vanguard of effective patriotism and
practical preparedness.-Froma an address

New Wartime Currency.

Designs for the nations first wartime
currency reserve bank notes of
one dollar and two-dolar denominations
have been approved by the Secretary of the
Treasury. The new bills will make their
appearance in general circulation about
July 4.
A note Of the war period is given to the
reverse side of the two-dollar note in the
design of one of the newest battleships.
The face Of the two-dollar note bears a
portrait of Thomas Jefferson.
The face Of the one-dollar note carries
a portrait of George Washington. The re-
verse side has design OF the spread eagle
clutching in warlike attitude the Ameri-
can flag.
The bills are intended to replace silver
certificates, about $30,000000 of which
have been withdrawn from circulation in
the last two weeks, as the silver which
secured them was melted into bullion un-
der the new silver act.

"(2) The condition of nineteen Mutual
Savings Institutions as of December 81.
1917.
During the year ending February 1.
1918, the Department made 1853 regular
official examinations. for which fees
amounting to $l0,540.00 were received.
There were also six special examinations,
with fees of $280.00. In addition to the
above, also collected $S0.60 in fees for
filing Articles of Incorporation. Amend
ments to Charters. and miscellaneous re-
ceipts. making the total receipts of the
Office $l0,900.60. All fees were paid over
to the State Treasurer, as provided in the
Article. and the receipts for the same are
on file in this office.
For the same period the expenses of the
Department were $l1.533.24. as also shown
in detailed statement in this report"
The resources of the 1874 State banks and
trust companies are shown to be $685.
87l.499.62. The resources of the 10 saw
ings institutions are Sl10, ,429, ,036.36.
THE changes in business conditions dur
ing the past year, brought about by the
entry of the United States into the World
War, do not appear to have affected our
State banking institutions unfavorably, nor
retarded their growth and development.
Our State system readily met all demands
made upon it. and gave hearty cooperation
to the Federal Reserve Bank in placing the
Liberty Loan Bonds.
THE call Of the Government was met by
a patriotic response from all our institu-
tions. which did everything in their power.
both by individual effort and by liberal
subscriptions. to make the loans success.
This entailed sacrifices in many instances.
Some of our mutual savings banks
which subscribed generously to the bonds
were Obliged to sell other securities in a
depressed market in order to pay for them.
The disposal of the bonds to their custom
ers also brought about heavy Withdrawals
from past savings. which caused notable
loss in the deposit account of this class of
institutions"

standing in the Savings Institutions of
Maryland upon which no deposits have
been made or money withdrawn for a
period of twenty years prior to the first
day of September. 1917. as prescribed in

Farm Demonstration Notes.

There is plenty of evidence that the
farm demonstration work has performed a
real service in the county along several
lines both to individuals and to communi-
ties. The greatest opportunity it has had
however of proving its practical value came
in connection with the present seed corn
situation.
An investigation showed the situation
to be serious. But how serious could only
be told by an extended seed-testing cam
paign. This was begun about the middle
Of March and continued into the first week
in May.
The plan was simple. A list Of thirty
communities was made. covering practi-
cally all the county. 1t was then proposed
that If the community would furnish 10
ears Of seed corn from each Of ten farms
and half bushel Of saw dust, the County
Agent would furnish the test boxes. mus
lin, tags. etc. and put on community
and co-operated heartily in the work. Prob
ably not more than o half dozen farmers
in the county had ever tested seed corn for
termination. AS result Of the commu-
nifty tests at least rs men have tested
their own seed and will plant nothing but
100 per cent ears this spring. Scores Of
Others whose corn was found to be unfit to
plant are buying their seed from their
more fortunate neighbors Practically no
seed will be brought in from outside.
Children in many Of the schools have
been taught how to test corn. Never be-
fore has seed corn received so much care
ful attention in the county nor the value
Of dependable seed been so generally and
persistently emphasized. Such co-opera-
