Compkrnller-Two Othex Meas
ures- In Response to Deflation
Kicks, Federal Reserre Act Un.
der Fire.
Washington, June SIN efforts
to find q. remedy for present condi-
tions in'the agricultural belts of the
country, and possibly to impress
their constituencies with an idea of
their constant vigilance, numerous
members Of congress are preparing
to amend and thus make perfect the
act which created the federal re-
serve system: 49,.
Representative McFadden Of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the bank
ing and4currency committee of the
house has q bill under the provisions
of which the Office Of comptroller Of
the currency would be abolished,
and that Of under.secretary Of the
treasury created-5he under-secre-
tary to receive salary of $4,000;
discharge the duties now discharged
by the comptroller Of the currency
and be q member of the federal re-
serve board.
Senator Capper Of Kansas has a
bill under the provision of which the
secretary of commerce and the sec.
,retary Of agriculture would be made
members Of the federal reserve
board. -- . - .-..
Representatives Steagall Of Ala
bama has bill which would deny
the right Of the federal reserve
board to enforce it's regulations re-
garding the par clearance Of checks
on the part of state or non-member
banks. .. ~. 3"
Practically. every member Of con-
gress has bills limiting the rate Of
interest legally demanded by banks
of the reserve system, lin,iaing re-
discount rates and extending ?. the
time of credit. -. ~
:. During the entire administration
Of Woodrow Wilson, the people Of
the country as a rule, regarded the
reserve system as the protection Of
wage earners and producer against
the millionaire gamblers of Wall
street. Practically the sole bitter
opponents Of the system were the
bankers of Wall street; and the state
banks, which, by the par clearance
rules, were forced to suffer a loss
throughout the union Of approx
mately $4,000, 900 per annum.
But since the beginning Of the de-
preston following rapidly on the
heels of the armistice, and the period
of reconstruction, up to the present
time, those with opinion adverse to
the reserve system have been legion.
Kicks from everywhere have Jared
Washington. In response to such
kicks various members of congress,
as indicated above, have sought to
amend the act which created the
system.
It is the concensus of opinion that
the great bulk Of bills aimed at the
system will die aIborning. It is the
idea of the conservative element of
congress that the federal reserve
board should be permitted to regu-
late its interest rates, discount rates
and length Of credit by prevailing
conditions-that the policy should
be elastic, in other words, and not
unvariable i'm the face Of changing
season and changing conditions. The
par clearance struggle will be fought
out in the courts of Georgia and in
the supreme court. Pending the con-
clusfon of the fight, the SteagaN bill
will probably remain in the hands of
the banking and. currency commit
tee. -: ~ -, -, a..

tributes a gem to the press. Recent
" he was provoked by reading a
statement that theoretical cook who
makes a living by writing rather than

for 4 new kind of cornbread which in
cluded three-fourths of cup Of sugar.
Colonel Watterson at once wrote the
Courier-Journal this solemn warming
~Cornbread with sugar in It IS an

TO MELON GROWERS

Up to this time the season has been
so dry that very little authracnose II
any has been found in our section.
But now that so much rain has set in
it is likely to develop. 1t may be re-
called by some that last year some OF
the fields were attacked at about
spring time and half the crops was
lost. Where it is possible thorough
spraying should be given If time
can be picked when il is likely that
the spray will dry before being wash
ed off.
The stems should by all means be
properly painted in cars with the
limestone paste, inasmuch as last
year there were great many melons
only partially treated and they went
to the market in bad condition.

oLD-TIME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEA!

Get q small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take q
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through q
sieve and drink teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break
q cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking
up a cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

Then you see daddy's farm is not
quite all cleared yet and he has an
SO-acre farm. That means there is
lots of rocks and underbruSh to be re-
moved before the ground is ready for
the pillow. And as our income is very
limited, it becomes very necessary for
daddy to work away from home dur
ing the day, leaving him only few
hours during the evening to work on
the farm. Therefore we help him all
we can to do the clearing.
We also have a few pigs which need
feeding three times each day, and to
be sure they need fresh water too.
You see, we have a nice spring but it
