MISCELLANEOUS

Twenty new national banks were
chartered by the comptroller of cur
rency during the month of July and
increase in capital stock was granted
to fifty-four national banks.
On July 81, 1919, there were 1899
national banks in operation with ap-
plications for 224 new charters await
ing the comptroller's approval, with
a proposed capital of $15,207 900.
Since January 1, 1919, there have
been only two small national bank
failures in the entire United States.
This record for immunity from failure
has not been equaled since 1870.
The United States owns one-seventh
of the cattle in the world, one-tenth
of the sheep and one-third of the
swine. In cattle India stands first,
the U. S. second, and Russia, Brazil
and Argentina in order. In sheep
Australia is first, the U. S. second,
then come Argentina, Russia and
New Zealand. When it comes to
swine we are not only first but own

more hogs than our ten nearest COM
petitors combined.
A new "a cylinder liberty motor has
lust been tested by the war depart
ment. It's normal horse power is 673
as compared with 400 for the IL CYL
inder, and it's weight per horse power
is slightly less than the IL cylinder.
An engine of this type run at normal
speed would enable the use of a COM
paratively large slow speed propeller
without gear reduction, thus increas-
ing propeller efficiency.
A radical change in live stock re-
ports will soon be inaugurated by the
department of agriculture. Instead
of an annual report showing totals
by States of the cattle, swine, sheep,
etc, in this country, the report will be
made monthly and the totals will be
by counties, there being over 5000
agricultural counties. In addition
| stocks will be divided into throrobred,
grade and scrubs; also breeders, dairy
and feeders. Stocks of feed including
ensilage, etc, will be shown.

Secretary of Labor William B. Will

most of whom were railroad men, to

the desired results and that it is SAT-
est and wisest for all concerned for

but the atmosphere is clearing.
Suspension of all strikes thruout
the United States and the declaration
of a labor truce on the basis of the

LANSING THE WALL FLOWER

AS an evidence of the extent to
which the president ignored his fell
low members of the peace commits
sion, Secretary Lansing testifies that
Mr.. Wilson never discussed Article 10
of the covenant with him. Yet that is
the provision that the president and
the other covenanters have declared
forms the very cornerstone of the
league. Without it the league would
lose the very essence of it's force, they
say. But not enough Importance was
attached to the secretary's views in
the matter even to mention it to him.

This was the first personal confer
