VALLEY BANK bECOMESPA
 GREAT SYSTEM

An announcement of considerable interest in the local financial field was made yesterday by the Valley bank. The institution has been admitted into full membership in the Federal Re- serve system. This is the first Arizona state bank to obtain admission to the system in the Twelfth Federal Re- serve district. Only two state banks in California are members, and less than 800 in the entire United States.
 The Federal Reserve system was authorized by congress in 1913, and commenced operations in November, 1914. By the terms of the act all na- tional banks were required to enter the system or go out. of business in one year. Until year ago, but few state banks sought admittance to the sys tenn. Last June, however a number of changes were made in the law which met most of the objections. Since that time state banks in increasing num- bers have been applying for member ship, urged largely by patriotic mo- tives. The state banks and trust com panies of the United States number about 1S,000,. and comprise approxi- mately 60 per cent of the banking strength of the country.
 The action of the Valley bank in ap- plying for membership followed closely on a special appeal to state banks made by President Wilson last October. Necessarily the forfnalities prelimin- ary to membership took up consider able time, and the final steps have just been completed.
 In entering the system, officials state, the local bank will suffer a re- duction in revenue running into sev- eral thousand dollars each year. In view of the national crisis. however, all local considerations were waived. If the financial strength of the country is to be placed solidly back of the gov- ernment, state banks must join the Federal Reserve system, which is the only agency for consolidating the gold reserve and concentrating the banking power of the country. The local bank is hoping that membership in the sys- tenn will be sought by all eligible Ari- zona state banks.
 l By joining the system, the Valley bank retains all of its charter privil- eges as granted by the state of Arizona and in addition now enjoys all of the advantages of the Federal Reserve system, on a basis of equality with the national banks of the country. Regular examinations are made under federal supervision, and frequent voluminous -eports to the federal authorities are
 called for, as we'll as the usual re- | quirements under the state law, which ! have heretofore been followed.

 EASTERN LINES

The federal court in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon refused an injunc- tion to the Arizona Eastern in it's case against Wiley E. Jones, attorney zen eral, and others, to stop action by the state in attempting to compel the railroad to comply with the law pro viding that trains should be 70 cars long. maximum, and other railroad reg ulation mentioned in the suit,
 Attorney General Jones after the courts decision wired the result to Phoenix. It means that the case at court will be resumed, The laws, made by the legislature, were upheld by the supreme court. All railroads in the state complied with these laws as soon as they became effective, except the Arizona Eastern which brought suit to test them.
 In it's most recent action it declared that now that the railroads were being operated by the government, war measures should take precedence over these laws.

ALIGN M ENT TEST

A rough and ready method of testing the alignment of the front wheels is to jack these wheels up an equal distance from the ground and spin them. While they are revolving draw a line on the center of the tires with a piece of chalk. Measure the distance from the line on one tire to the corresponding line on the other tire at the height of the hubs and both before and behind the front axle. The approved gather will work out at about three -eighths of an inch

 Save gasoline and get more power out of your car.
 Nine-tenths of your auto engine trouble is caused from carbon. We remove this carbon with pure oxy- gen. Work done while you wait, and you know just what the job will cost you.
 The mechanic who tells you this pro- cess will burn the cylinders, does so because he confuses oxygen carbon re- moving with xy-acetylene welding. They are two distinct methods. Oxy- gen and acetylene combined in a welding torch yields a heat of 360 de- grees. Oxygen alone as used in carbon removing yields no heat.

He looks fine. ] also have seen Robert
Stephenson as we were leaving the other

was i'm the trenches not far from me, and
he is here in this sector not far away.
War is some game in these days. 1t

Orrin wishes he was here with us. l know
a soldiers spirit. In all the letters get

about the French people, etc, but have

from wounds and gas but diseases also.
Of course those are few. | do not have
