paid by I. j. Conrad. of Melbourne, for
Show Lady, a fine SOW. Several OF the
Ellts were under a year old, and they
sold for almost as much money per
head as the sows. and in a few in
stances moro.
Mr.. Floto has bought the Lester
Walter farm of eighty acres six miles
south Of State Center which he will
occupy March 1, making Of the place a
typical hog farm. The farm already is
well improved for the hog industry.
In his publicity for the sale Mr.. Floto
used the Times Republican extensive
~. and the success Of his initial sale is
source OF much satisfaction to the
advertising department of the newspa-
per. as well as to Mr.. Eloto himself.

the sale. believes thac Mr.. Fiotc is
coming man in the Poland China bust
ness in Marshall county.

County Must Vote Tax.
A state law provides Tor the erea-
ton OF memorials to soldiers, either
buildings or monuments, thru county
taxation, to be authorized by a ma
jority OF the voters in special election
submitted by the county board OF sup
ervisors.
The proposal TO erect memorial
building has come to "A vote once In
this county and failed, largely because
Of the failure to make a vigorous cam
paisn. Many counties Of the state have
voted the tax and have erected hand
some memorials,
A meeting of delegates from the var

the memorial and the, proposition to he

Building or Monument?
1t was the first thought OF those 70.
thering the movement to have the me-
mortal take the form Of a community
building to be used for housing patri-
otic societies and the trophies and
relics of the American wars. This
plan has generally met with the ap-
prevail of the members of the three SOL
der organizations, altho there have
been some who favored the erection of
monument to bear names of Mar
shall county men who were in the SER
vice in 1S6l-65. 1898 or 19l7-1S. The
building plan seemed to the majority
to be the most practical and tablets
within the edifice would perpetuate the
names of the war heroes.
While many Iowa counties have vot-
ed memorials Marshall county voters
have once rejected the plan. There
was a sentiment at that time. attic not
loudly expressed. that memorial
building was Of benefit to a few, to be
paid for by all. This is said not to be

Bankers Approve
Plan to Promote
Foreign Commerce
Legislation to Extend Activ-
tiles of National Banks
Will Help Davison's Pro-
gramme

Legislation permitting national banks
to become stockholders in corporations
designed to promote foreign trade, pro-
posed by the Federal Rtserve Board.
received the unqulifed approval Of
bankers in the financial district yes
terday. The suggested change in the
law would allow national banks until
January l, 1921, to invest up to 5 per
cent OF their capital and surplus in one
or more corporations engaged in for
elgn financial operations
Executive officials of New York ma
tlonal banks expressed the opinion that
the Federal Reserve Boards plan. if
enacted into the necessary legislation,
would be an important factor in the
projected financing arrangements for
financing Europe's postwar buying in
the United States. They believed that
1t would work in with the scheme sug-
gested by Henry P. Dawson, which is
now receiving the attention of the
hnanclal community. Mr.. Dawson has
suggested the formation of a nation
wide investment trust, whose securities
Wou!d be sold to American investors in
lieu of the offering of foreign seucuri-
ties here direct.
The proposal of the Federal Reserve
Board regarding the activities of mt
tlonal banks in the general scheme for
financing Europe's needs" said E. v. R.
Thayer, president of the Chase Ma
tlonal Bank, "is one that will boutless
meet with the approval of every ma
tional bank in the country. 1t is a
plan that should have their coopera-
ton, as this is the time for every one
to get together and help those who
have suffered most from the war to get
back to a normal basis"
John r. ROvenSkv vico.rroc;dop% of
the National Bank of Commerce, said
that the proposed amendment to the
Federal Reserve act would doubtless
work in with Mr.. Davison's plan. He
said that the national banks would
favor the suggested legislation because
1T would not tie up any great percent
age of their funds in unliquid assets.
1t is believed that the proposed
amendment to tht Reserve act would
release approximately S10O000,0O0 of
funds for financing foreign purchases.
At present national banks are limited
by law in their ownership of stock of
other enterprises.

606,0C0 last week, according to yester-
days statement, the total at the close
of business amounting to SA,929 ,913 900.
The falling off in the loan total was
attributed to the liquidation OF loans
arranged temporarily by individuals
and corporations to meet the second
instrument of Federal taxes due on
Monday, and to the forced liquidation
OF stock market accounts.
The lSrge shrinEage in the loan &C

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Heavy exports Of gold furnished the
principal development Of Importance
in the international exchange market
last week. Approximately $20,00O,00O
OF the metal went out from the United
States during this period, most Of it to
South America. About S2,500,000 was
shipped to Japan. Further large ship
mcnts are expected to South America
and Japan to settle balances.
Exchange rates moved against the
principal European centres during the
week with sterling selling down to
S4.6l. French exchange was fairly
steady. There was further pressure
against the Scandinavian exchange.
The exchange market, like all the
other international markets. is wait

pleasing surprise. Last weeks deficit

brought about by the great reduction
Of $205. 100000 in loans. That reduc-
ton, in turn. was probably the result
OF the maturity of tax and bond cer-

revealed decline in rediscounts "se-
