Seems Queer.

"Seek. and We she'll find'' is a great
truth (says the Philosopher of Folly
but it can be overdone. For instance
the man who is always hunting for
job is the man who never seems to
find one.

Banking Conditions.

farmers Of the country lead me 20 re-
peat the advice then given.
Banking Conditions.
Considering the unusual conditions
which. have prevailed in the country
since the United States entered the
war and which have to very great
extent affected conditions in this state
the banks of Vermont have performed
their functions in an excellent manner
and have met the strain of war condi-
tons, the demands Of the govern
ment and of the people in remarkably
effective manner.
/ have repeatedly urged the banks
during the past year to organize in
such a way as to meet the needs of the
government and OF. the citizens of the
state in the most effective manner. and
if any CRITICISMS could be made of the
banks it would be of their lack of ap-
probation of the necessity for organized
effort.
With the Arrangements which has
been made with the federal reserve
bank of this district and with the
treasury department and the federal
reserve board in Washington, the OPP
portunity which the war finance cor
poration offers to banks in need of
temporary assistance and the very ex-
cellent condition of the banks of this
state, there should be no difficulty i'm
financing the proper needs of the people
of Vermont during the coming months.
National Banks.

hn liuOraa1 from !,
national banks either in their manage
ment or the location of their banking
| rooms and | recommend that the law
be changed to accomplish that result
| think it would be much better for
| the interests of the state if such a
separation was required, and that
such state banks would be better able
| to serve the interests of the people Of
the state than some of them are.
Federal Reserve Law.
Since the beginning of the European
war the federal reserve system has
! fully justified the claims of its friends
in financing the business of the people
of this country and preventing panics
| and serious financial disasters and has
been bulwark of strength in the finan-
cial world
An effort has been made by some
| people interested to bring all state
banking institutions into the federal
reserve system, but many people who
have had a good opportunity to know
of the services that the state banks
in every state are performing for The
people of those states, who could not
he served as well by the national
banks. believe that no federal law
should be enacted compelling state
banking institutions to join the federal
reserve system, and they believe that
without such n law the state banks
have done and ARC doing more to as
sist the government in financing the
war than they could do under such f;
law as is proposed by some of thos,
interested in bringing all the banks o.

Headquarters of the Director for Flor
ida National War Savings Commit
tee, 206 Federal Building, Jackson
vile, Florida, July %, 1918.
Florida has sold and pledged Al
per cent of its quota of War Savings
Stamps up to July the 18th, according
to revised statement just issued
from the State Directors Office. AS an
Indication that the actual pledging
has not been as widespread as 1t was
hoped to make 1t is the comparative
figures of the amount of stamps al
ready sold and the amount pledged
for purchase during the remainder Of
the year. The amount already owned
being considerably over half of the
amount pledged to purchase during
the remainder of the year.
There was a perceptible increase In
cash sales during the first half Of
July, but It will be necessary to main,
tain this ratio II the State is to sell
its full quota. Several counties have
as yet failed to send in their reports
of pledges, It is estimated they will
at least have pledged $4,000.

Arrives at day when he seems to
have no wits,
His fountain of rhyme will not
gush;;
The usual trick on that sort Of occa-
sion
Is ever so hackneyed and trite,
You jot down some verse of the light,
est persuasion
| And write-that you've nothing to
write.
l doubt if there ever was any gay
rhymster
Who, when he was stuck for a
theme,
And somehow or other could not make
| chimes stir,
But called on that handy old
scheme
And straightway proceeded with more
or less JUNCTION
To sing his deplorable plight,
Admit that his brain was refusing to
function
And write, 81 have nothing to
write!"
In the days of the past, I admit 1t.
I've sometimes
Been guilty Of such a stunt;
II blush to confess that ever re-

To playing that trick with my pen
Ii blush even more that 1t must be re-
ported
I've Just done that same thing
again!

THE BIBLE DRAFT LAW
(St. Petersburg Times.)

(St. Petersburg Times,)
We've been looking for it and now
we've found Il Justification of the
draft law is discovered in the Bible
The DeFuniak Springs Breeze cites
the facts in quoting Governor Pickett
Of North Carolina. The North Caro-
lima governor says the first selective
draft law was given by God himself
N Moses in the wilderness Of Sinai on
the first day OF the second month OF
the second year after the Israelites
left the land of Egypt Quoting Gov
ernor Pickett, the Breeze gives PROOF
of the "Bible draft" as follows:
"Under this law, Moses was directed
n register for military service every
male person in Israel 20 years old
and upwards who was physically fit
to 20 to war. Numbers 1:1-3.
"The heads Of the eleven tribes were
designated to assist Moses, the COM
mander-in-chief Of this selective draft
law Numbers 1:4-1s. This is identi-
cal with the plan Of the present law
which requires the governors OF tne
several States to assist the President
"The Levites ministers Of the Cos
nell were excepted from the opera
tion of the law, and no one from the
tribe of Levi was called. Numbers
