AN INTERNATIONAL BANK.

becomes more appealing as this same cti
problems are connected with it. The pub
lie is rapidly learning that its problems
come home TO every community and every
family in America in some form or other.
Accordingly there is increasing talk on all
sides about trade balances, foreign
exchange. and the need of stabilzng
foreign currency. Americans are coming
not only to take personal interest in
them but to feel sense Of responsibility
for them
Two big proposals are in line with this
new trend of thought. One is the plan
e Frank A. NamdcrIiT for Federal
! Reserve System for the United States Of
| Europe. an international organization
modelled after our own banking system,
/ financed privy ely with capitalization of
! 81 coo 0O0.OGh mostly from American
| sources. The other is the plan of Senator
Hitchcock for Bank of Nations" with
the governments themselves as stockhol-
der, and the United States government
putting up half Of the 50, 100, 900, 900 CAPT
tai
Either Of these undertakings would in
volve obvious risk to the investors and
would face problems of great intricacy
1t may be that the American public is not
quite ready to support either. 1t may be
; though, that simply letting things drift
means a greater risk, while there can b.
no doubt that this country would prof
immensely from any scheme that organ

THE EQUAL RIGHTS" BILL

The final draft of the equal rights"
amendment to the federal constitution
sponsored by the National Women's Party
has been made public It will soon be
presented to congress and then the fight
will be on.
The amendment is supposed to cover
only political. civic and legal discrimna
tions without touching upon industry and
the professions, bnt for all that it is the
subject of attack by the National Won
ems Trade Union League and the Con-
sumers' League. on the ground that it
will interfere with protective legislation
now existent in some states. Its sponsors
deny that it will do this. The amendment
reads:
no political, civil or legal disabilities
or Inequalities ON account of sex or ON ac-
count of marriage. unless applying alike
to both sexes. shall exist within the Uni
ted states OF any place subject to their
jurisdiction"
Just how this measure would interfere
with physical and pccuniary protection
for men and women in industry and the
professions is not patent on its surface
and apparently it does provide remedy
for many injuSticcs now existing. How
ever the discussions cngcndercd when
the amendment comes up for congress
sional consideration should clarity these
matters. The women of the milton should
follow the amendment carefully from now
on to its final fate

REV. MIR. HARRISON TO LEAVE.
Former West BrattlcborO Baptist Min
lister Accepts Call to Brooklyn - Ends
Passionate i'm Orange Mass


Rev. Il. Stacy Harrison, for the past
three and a half years pastor of the First
Baptist church in Orange, Mass, con-
cluded his pastorate Wednesday, having
accepted call to Grace Baptist church
at Sixth avenue and Fifty-Third street
Brooklyn. Rev. Mr.. Harrison formerly
was pastor of the West Brattleboro Bap-
fist church. The call from the Brooklyn
church, which was unanimous, came to
him unexpectedly.
This is comparatively new church
and has 600 members. Rev. Mr.. Harri-
son will be its second pastor. The parish
toner's of the Orange Church were sur
prised to lfarn of Rev. M. fGgisons dc
cision, bu5.appreciate thepe&celf@nt oppof-
tunity which is presented him for in
creased service as we'll as a substantial
increase in salary.
Both Rev. and Mrs. Harrison have
made many friends in Orange Rev Mr.
Harrison went there from Broolline,
Mass, where he was associated with Rev
DIR. o. p. Clifford. formerly one of the
best-known Baptist preachers in Massa-
chusetts, but now retired and living in
California. He was practically in charge
of the BroOkline church during his period
there, as DR. Clifford was in i'll health and
could give little attention to either preach
ing or pastoral work This gave Rev
Mr.. Harrison n fine opportunity to be
come accustomed to the duties required of
Il city church. Rev. Mr.. Harrisons first
passionate was at West Brattleboro. From
there he went to Avon, and later to
BroOkline. Rev. Mr. Harrison's wife and
four children plan to remain in Orange
until spring before going to Brooklyn.

Reports indicate that the gambling
game at the White River Junction House
was plcaSantcr to sit in than to read about
in the local newspaper after the recent
raid by the authorities there, some of the
participants claiming that the publicity
was an outrage and an injustice. As
the Rutland Herald says: "Such things
are public proceedings and the public is
entitled to know about them authcntically.
People accused of crimes and offenscs are
usually very much annoyed when hailed
into court and are inclined to blame the
newspaper AS matter of fact they are
themselves to blame if guilty. The news
paper merely records and publishes the
facts as ii gets them or as they are devel-
opcd in court"

INSPECTOR URGES SPRAYING
To PREVENT APPLE SC,b

c. O. Weiss, district horticultural
inspector, today issued the following
bulletin Of information on the apple
scab, for Lynden farmers:
Apple scab infections start from
spores discharged from the old leaves
on the ground. These spores begin
their work just as soon as the green
parts emerge from the buds. Turn
ing the old leaves under before the
winter buds come open will help to
reduce the infection from this source
but will not eliminate it entirely.
Young leaves and small blossom buds
must be coated with the spray just as
soon as possible to prevent the early
infectio from getting a start. The
first spray the delayed dormant is put
on best, Just as soon as the tiny
buds separate enough to enable the
sprayer to cover the upper leaf sur
faces as well as the under and to hit
err buds in the centre. Earlier than
this protection is imperfect. But if
there is much delay after this stage
considerable infection may have
started already.
The object is to cover every sus-
ceptible part with lime sulfur so that
the terminating spores alighting on
the leaves, buds or fruit will be killed
and thus fail to produce infection.
Any part not covered with the spray
is open to infection. This is why
thoroughness is the essential thing
in spraying success and it explains
why renewed applications have to be
put on as the leaves grow and the
fruit surface enlarges thus exposing
new area to infection. The second
scab spray comes when the blossom
buds show pink just as they start to
open. Use lime sulfur 1 to 80 and
when the petals fail or the calyX
spray. One thing should be empha-
sized and that is. that the omission
of any one of the regular spray appli-
cations is at the owners risk, for one
cannot tell when the weather period
particularly favorable to the spread
of scab may come. The best way to
economic is to go thru with the
fight and keep the trees free from
scab. The worst way is to try to
save spray. The very worst way is
to spray the fruit and miss the foil
tage. This never works.

Resident Will Interest Our Readers
Our neighboring town, Anacortes,

its most respected residents
c. C. Keesling, boat builder, 504
5th ST., Anacortes, Wash, says:
Heavy lifting is what weakened my
kidneys and caused lame back year
ago. When l tried to lift anything
sharp pain struck me in the small
of my back and nearly doubled me
up. The kidney secretions passed
too often and were scanty and unnat-
ural. My kidneys seemed weak. |
saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised so
bought box and began using them.
They helped me right away and two
boxes knocked the pain out of my
back and put my kidneys in healthy
condition, thanks to Doan's Kidney
