disagreeable days within our recol-

lower toward night and the bitter
blast fairly CONCEALED the marrow IN
ones bones. And it was noticeable
that there was mighty few persons ou'
of doors exposing their morrow.

Freshie.SeniOr Game.
The Freshies and Seniors crossed
swords in basket ball last Wednesday.
The Freshmen went in with teetl

Seniors went in for all there was in

made on long distance and hard shots
It that. The Seniors came back strong
d tae second half and almost swamp
ID the Freshies; but when the whistle
blew for time, the Freshmen had more
than held their own. The final score
being II to IA in the Freshmen's favor.
This was not a shock to the Seniors
alone, but to the whole high school. as
they were sure the Seniors would win

out-classed. The lineup was:

The Sophmores and Juniors locked
horns in one Of the most exciting
sames of the tournament. 1t was an
other surprise of the season. but 1t
seems that this seasons tournament
games are all surprises. The Sophs
beat the Freshies, something that they
have seldom done before. Then, WON
ders upon wonders, the Freshies beat
the Seniors. William Naggy, VINO
played center, turned out to be the
real player. He watched his man SO
close that his opponent was unable 70
make many baskets, although ne Is
one of the High schools best players.
The whole Soph., team were on their
toes. and the Juniors. who are sup-
posed to be "all stars" had to defend
their title for all they were worth
When the first half was up the score
was II to 10 in favor Of the Juniors.
The Juniors were expecting as well

besides these accidents there ore conditions Incl.

These facts In general are known to everyone

The decent citzenry Of Chicago should relieve
itself of the ignominy and danger Of situation

the ruin of the community.
AS matters stand, the authorities at Chicago are

TRAILING WAR PROFTTEERs

The house appropriations committee has re.
ported favorably bill providing $500 900 to the
department Of justice for the prosecution of con-
Germs and individuals charged with taking unlawful
profits from the government during the participa-
ton OF the United States in the world war
Attorney General Daugherty says the depart.
ment has evidence indicating that about 275 cases
Of fraud may be established by the government
Involving upwards of $500 900 ,000 and he is ready
TO proceed with prosecutions Of all cases where set.
Elements are not voluntary.
There has been a great deal OF talk regarding
alleged frauds perpetrated against the government
during the war and it is due to every honest con-
Germ and individual who had war contracts that
suspicion be removed from them by bringing the
offenders into the light Of publicity.
Attorney General Daugherty appears to be con.
WINGED that the government has good cases against
many concerns and individuals, and he should have
whatever additional money is necessary to bring
these into court IL necessary to get justice

known TO the public. but there should also be pub

business demands, and never too
much. This is what economists
call an elastic currency, and the
United States now has the most
elastic currency in the world.
There are 10 federal reserve banks
and about $4,000 local banks.
These so-called member banks all
have the right to borrow notes and
put them into circulation.
Another form of paper currency
In the United States is the national
bank note. II is not elastic. A ma
tional bank takes an amount OF
government bonds which 1t owns
to the treasury at Washington and
deposits them there. Then it may
take in exchange for them circu-
lating money, notes which are
called national bank notes. These
are printed at the bureau of print
ing and engraving for the national
banks and shipped to them. They
then issue them over their coun-
ters in the course of the days bus
mess.
Different Kinds of Bills.
Also there are between three
and four hundred million dollars
in greenbacks outstanding. These
have no actual security behind
them excepting the promise of the
United States to redeem them on
demand. But this promise Is con-
sidered so good that a greenback
dollar Ia considered to have just as
much value as any other kind.
These are printed at Washington
also. but only enough to renew old,
worn out or mutilated fiotes. No
new sreenbacks, that Is no addi-
tional amounts, have been issued
since the civil war.
Gold certificates and silver GER
tificates are issued by the
treasury through the government
payrolls, at the paying tellers' win
dows at the treasury, and In pay
ments of interest on the public
debt. These are a convenience
form of currency. For every ono
in circulation there Is either a sill
yer dollar or gold dollar at
the treasury ready for the holder
of the note whenever he demands
1t.
AS the use Of che federal reserve
note increases the national bank
| notes will go out Of use. Also the
treasury notes and the gold and sill
yer certificates will likely cease to
| be used.
This smooth working system Of
getting paper money into circula-
ton and keeping 1t up to par is
confined now to the United States.
| Other countries all over the world
have deprecated currency. They
| have issued so many notes with so
small a quantity Of gold or goods
behind them that Their people
have lost confidence in the value
Of the bits OF paper. Therefore a
conference of banks Of issue, that
is central banks like the federal
reserve banks. which have the
power Of issuing paper money, is
necessary. This conference will
try to get the whole world back to
a plan as good as the American
MAN.

VERSE OF TODAY
THE BEECH.

/ know high green meadow, where the sun
Lives all the day among the long, plumed grass
There little winds abide, to leap and run,
And clouds would nger and oath to pass
There summer lends her oveest radiance long;
Wild peoples blow and back-eyed Susans nod
The lark shakes out her shining scarf Of song,
Broidered with all the beauties of the sod.
And drenched in stars. and dew. and still. sweet
light,
One great beech tree stands, glorious in its might
All round the skys rim misted hltops RISE
And silvered cedars climb, and fragrant pine
Cupped in lovely bowl the meadow lies,
Filled to the brim with air like perfumed wine
And here doth nature dwell. and reign supreme.
Filling the earth and sowing various seed
And for her watch-tower, cloud kissed and serene
The beech on every leaf writes her kind creed.
And gathering all the winged things to It's breast
The great beech shelters them and gives them rest

selves. 1t finds itself out OF money.
Therefore, the bank gathers UP all
these notes. which run from thirty
to ninety days. and takes them to
the federal reserve bank. The fed
eral reserve bank lends to the local
bank and gives it money in the
form of its own federal reserve
notes. A stock of these notes al
ways is kept on hand. fresh from
the bureau of engraving and print
ing at Washington which manu-
features paper money just as wall
paper or sand paper are manufac-
tured.
The local bank now has these
federal reserve notes and they are
paid out over its counters in the
routine of the days business. Thus
they get into public circulation.
AS John sells his shoes he cur
tails-makes payments on his nota
at his local bank. The same is be-
ing done by the other dealers. AS
the local bank collects from its
borrowers. 1t pays back its loan
to the Federal Reserve bank. All
the time these federal reserve notes
have been outstanding the actual
security for them has been Johns
stock of shoes and the other goods
of the other dealers. In addition
the Federal Reserve bank has kept
in reserve against all the notes out
standing an amount of actual gold
equal to 40 per cent of their value.
The process Is going on con-
stantly all over the United States,
the loans being made and repaid
over and over again. When bust
ness is brisk more money is bor-
rowed. and when dull less money.
These notes are issued only when
the briskness of business creates
demand, and they are paid back
when things get dull. Thus there
is always enough currency to meet

out legal action.
Men and women who risked their lives In the
military service, well as the many millions who
gave OF time and money to help win the war; have
a right to know who made use OF great national
emergency to get money from the government by
padded contracts or in some other dishonest way.
