BANKERS WITH IDLE CASH NOW SEEK BORROWERS FOR LARGE RESERVES THEY ARE STEAD ILY ACCUMULATING
SPECULATION HAS CEASED
Farmers and Business Men of Coun. try Feel Wholesome Effects of Drop in Money Rate and Further Cuts Will Aid Agriculture and Other Vital Industries of Nation

WASHINGTON. Dec 27.-Bankers with lot of idle cash are hunting borrowers.
 The fact is the money chests of the banks are swollen with large re- serves steadily accommodating, and growing bigger each week. Business and industry are getting their fig urativc necks above water, and out of the muddy cross-currcnts of credit dangers that loomed several months ago.
 The Federal Reserve Boards ap- provaI of further cuts in the rc-dis- count rates in eight of the twelve reserve banks will bring still lower commercial rates at banks. Money conditions are easier now than at any time in several years. especially when war imitation sent rates soar ing in mad wave of speculation and money juggling for profit returns on big scale.
 The farmers and small business men all over the United States are experiencing some of the wholesome benefits from the rate drops just ef- fectod. Still other rate cuts in other reserve banks. and further drops in the bank districts wherein cuts have just been announced will serve to make even lighter the credit burdens horne by the agricultural and other vital industries.
 The governments fiscal experts figure the country is rapidly getting back to normal financially though it has far to go perhaps in some lines before stabilization in prices is reached. It is evident that credit shrinkagc of several billions of dol lars in the last year has done much to bring money rates down
 All reports now reaching the Fed cral Reserve Board and other gov crnment agencies reflect easier money conditions in all parts of the country The fact stands out that in- dustry and business arc finding easier methods of meeting their oblirations Restored confidence over tho busi- ness future in putting more speed in industry and loosrniug sow" of tb" credit held ho'' during the e""lleG periods of industrial uncertainty

. liable spirit which enabled the
settlement at jamestown to sur
, vive the privations and difficult
! ties that encompassed 1t during
those first years. There in 1907

! pieces jamestown and the later
!, Virginia settlements were found
|. ed, designated that this colony
|, should extend 200 miles north
, and 200 miles south of Old
, Point Comfort and stretch west
. ward to the sea. Under the reign
! of Charles II 1t was considered
, such an important colony that 1t
was called the fourth dominion
of his empire, that Is, England,
I Scotland, Ireland and Virginia.
: From this Virginia was often
! called the Old Dominion. The
|, name Virginia itself means the
|, virgin land and was so called
! after Queen Elizabeth, the "Vir-
gin Queen" The early govern
, ment of Virginia is of great in
terest. At first communism was
|, tried, under which system the
|. land and all property was owned
|, in common and all profits were
, divided equally. This proved Il
, disastrous failure. In 1919 the
, first real representative govern
, ment in the colonies was estab-
! lished, called the house of bur-
gesSes, which continued in force
|, under varying fortunes until Vir-
|. ginia joined the Union and be-
, came the tenth state in 17SS.
: Much might be written of the
, character of the early Virginian
. settlers and their great influence
on American life. From Virginia
/, has sprung two other states,
I Kentucky and West Virginia.

, is 1887 square miles. Politi-

, entitled to twelve presidential
electors. This is about the aver
