grain handling firms and milling interests of Mime
apolis handle their financing very largely in the open
market or in the East. Very little of this paper reach
ed the Federal Reserve Bank during 1920. The live
stock and packing interests of the district handle their
financing through Chicago and the East. These con
stitute the big business interests of this district. If
they have no occasion to call upon the Federal Reserve
bank of Minneapolis where is there any other big
business for it to finance? Ninety per cent of the
thousand banks which are members of the Federah
Reserve Bank of Minneapolis are controlled by farm
er stockholders and farmer boards of directors. They
are located in purely agricultural sections and their
business is almost wholly with farmers and producers
of live stock. The nature of their business controls
the kind of paper which they offer for discount at the
Federal Reserve Bank. For this reason the credit ex-
tended by the Federal Reserve Bank is almost wholly
direct or indirect credit to agriculture, and even the
borrowings of the larger city banks flow out immedi-
ately into the country to meet the demands of the
country banks and bankers. For many months the
rediscounts with the Federal Reserve Bank by the
comparatively few city member banks which are in a
position to finance big business if they desire, have
been uniformly and substantially less than their ag-
gregate loans to the country banks in agricultural and
live stock territory. Since the beginning of the crop
their loans to the grain trade have been light and the
grain and milling firms have been requested to handle
their business in the open market, in order to permit
the city banks to meet the unusually heavy calls from
their country bank correspondents.

ms published by The FIRST NATIONAL BANK

18th article of a series of financial questions D,
Will the Federal Reserve Board Prohibit Nom Mem
bers Banks from Receiving Help from the Federal
Reserve Banks?
upon this question. 1t is a fair presumption that
at some future time it may debar eligible non
member banks from b%enefiting indirectly in credit ex-
tensions maze by the Federal Reserve Banks upon the
properly founded argument that such eligible non
member banks have the right, if they desire, to obtain
directly the advantages which they are now obtaining
in a roundabout manner.
Why Does the Federal Reserve Bank Finance Big
Business and Refuse to Help the Farmers?
The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis does
very little financing for big business and has never re-
fused to help the farmers to the full extent of its au-
thority under the law. The Ninth Federal Reserve
District embraces northern Michigan, the northwes-
tern third of Wisconsin. and the state of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, and Montana. This is chief
ly agricultural and live stock territory. Copper and
iron production of northern Michigan is financed in
the East. It's paper rarely reaches the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Minneapolis. The iron mining and
steel trust operations in northern Minnesota are not
financed in this district, and the Reserve Bank does
not handle this paper. The great mining and copper
interests in Montana do their financing in the open
market or with eastern banks. This paper never
reaches the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis
The mining operations of the Black Hills are similar
" financed The Federal Reserve Bank discounts no
naper for the great Northwestern railroad lines which
do not handle their financing in the West. The large

Consider Union Depot for WoIsey

Pierre, June 16.-The state railway
commission will hold a hearing at
Mitchell on June 81 on the petition
of the u. c. II. and others in the state
asking for an order for the erection
of a union station at Wolsey for both
the Northwestern and Milwaukee rail-
ways.
With the present lack of hotel ac-
'comodations at Wolsey, and the trav-
cling public closed out of any place
to wait for trains other than the little
stations which are maintained at that
place, there is a lot of complaint,
which would be ended with IN ade-
quate union station at the junction of
these two roads.

OF ORDINARY COLDS
Doctor Maxwell Expresses Opinion
Trouble Is Due to Development
of Bacterial Growths.

/ have believed for some years that
common colds are due primarily to
the development Of bacterial growths
in the accessory nasal sinuses and that
this development is caused by the OBJ
struction of the drainage of these
sinuses by the swelling of the nasal
mucosa, writes DR.. G. M. Maxwell of
Roanoke, Va. Swelling Of the mucosa
is due in turn to irritation from some
foreign substance, such as dust, bac-
terra and pollen. The bacteria are
those ordinarily found in the nasal
cavity and cause trouble only when
the free access of air into the field is
prevented by the swollen mucosa. This
opinion has been strengthened by the
aact that continuous treatment or
spraying with a mild nonirritant as
tringent will in the majority of cases
arrest an acute cold. When a cold
holds on for as much as a week l have
nearly always found cloudiness in one
or more of the sinuses, and get imme-
date relief by washing out these 81
muses. with a mild alkaline solution.

there has been ~recahulated the aver
age temperature Of the southern
Hemisphere as compared with the
northern, and the results differ, in
some respects, from those heretofore
accepted. 1t is found hat the mean
temperature south Of the equator, for
the entire year, is about two and
t~hree-quarter degrees lower than
north Of the equator. But the an
nual variation of temperature in the
northern hemisphere is twice as
