The unity and solidarity so we'll achieved by the Allied nations have been ac- complished by the virtue of individ- ual initiative on the part of the peo- pie. The urgent. need for us is the admirable qualities inherent to oul national character be fully developed through the awakening of each in dividual, thus will the noblest traits of our national life be perfectly req lized.

 50 far as the army is concerned" General Wood continued, "the nation has been dry. We could not have ac- complished thirty percent of the work we did if it had not been. our men in : the camps always were fit anu ready for work, due solely to the fact that the camps were dry.''

RESERVE BANKS
 AID FINANCIAL
 RECONSTRUCTION
Reserve System in Position to h. fluence Distribution of Banking Credit on Economical Basis.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-A new era in American finance "replete with new and momentous problems demanding no less serious consideration than those of war; is predicted in the De- cember bulletin of the federal reserve board.
 RatiOning of the financial resources of the country during the transition period, note widely differing from that required when the nation was at War; ald to foreign governments through the medium of the banks, ill addition to that which may be required from the American government; preven- tion of imitation, limitation of indus try to those lines which may proper ly be called essential and methods for absorption of war loans, were some of the suggestions made for se- curing sound economic basis for the future
 With the termination of the war, the United States is common with the rest of the world, is confronted WILn problems and needs growing out of reconstruction, but in the opinion of the board definite limits must be set to the requirements of public financ ing.
 The liquid capital of the country" the bulletin continues. may for long time to come be inadequate to meet the demands of the world, and some process of husbanding or ra- tioning it must therefore be applied during reconstruction, just as has been the case during the period of the war. The methods will not be the same but will be closely analogous to those pursued during the war"
 Attention is called to the fact that the federal reserve system is now in an exceptional position to influence the distribution and use of banking credit upon an economic basis"

 NOT GIVE COMFORTS

SOLDIER FARMERS CLEAN UP S|O,OUO
Salvage Units of Camp Grant DemOn-
 strate That There is Money in
 Farming When Properly Directed.

Camp Grant, H., Dec. 19.--Soldier- farmers of the salvage and reclama- tion units of Camp Grant, who caus- ed widespread comment by operat- ing farm of 900 acres and showing s net profit of $10,000 at the end of the year, may continue the work on a still broader scale next year.
 While other troops are being mus tered out of service here, there has been no mention of discharging the salvage division, and already plans are being made for tract next year. Eight hundred acres of this has been ploWed.
 The $10000 profit remained after deductions had been made for mach inery depreciation and wages of $2 a day for each soldier working
 Nearby farmers had the crops in the field when Camp Grant men be- gan to sharpen blows. The soldier farmers were in the field May "A. Twelve days after machinery had been purchased 275 acres of corn, $50 acres of hay, 40 acres of sweet corn and 35 acres of potatoes were in the ground.
 Hay was harvested at $32 per ton, $17,5O0 worth being turned over to the camp remount station; 4,785 bushels of corn brought $6,0O0, and potatoes at 90 cents a bushel brought $1,S00. The unusual low prives of g cents was made on sweet corn as all of it went to camp mess tables. 1t Brought $3S5.
 Until the report of late fall crops was made, government reports showed that cantonments all over the coun- try were harvesting total of 2,30O acres, a little less than half of which was credited to the Illinois camp. To cover this enormous tract only 30 men were used on the average, some of them working on night shift in busy season. A total of $6,OOG was spent for machinery, tractors and seed. The pay to end in the six months amounted to $10,S00
 Sweet corn was marketed with the camp mess supply detachment field corn was marketed in Chicago, po- tatoes were fed in camp, and oats and wheat were marketed here. Next year, 400 of the proposed 1,5OO acres may be shifted from truck to forage on account of labor
 Most of the soldiers picked, all of whom were picked from limited service units, were farmers, but there were some men wholly inexperienced While nearby farmers worked IS hours day, Grant farmers labored but hours 'The work under these conditions was unusually fast.
 Hugh Findley, a Columbia Uniyer- slty professor, came to Grant as government inspector in September and praised highly the work of Cap- tain Beall and Lieut.. H. C. Geses- vbracht. An effort is being made to bring Lieut.. K. E Franklin, now at Camp Funston reclamation camp, back to Camp Grant, as he was re- sponsible for the early work here. Lieut.. Tillman is at present aiding Capt. Beall.
