BRAKES DEMANDED FOR FED.
ERAL RESERVE PLAN

Charging that Congress had sur
rendered to the Federal Reserve
banks the power to initiate and de-
fate currency and that that power
was not being used in the best in
terests of the people but to enrich
the big bankers, President Mansfield
of the Oregon Farm Bureau offered
the following resolution to the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation con-
venti0n at Atlanta and it was adopt
ed. The resolution:
ave ask the appointment of COM
mittee to carefully prepare and pre-
sent to Congress as the views of our
membership a bill which will so
amend existing laws as to secure to
every American citizen an adequate
and proper system of financing which
shall be truly national in it's charac-
ter, safe, sound and administered
under the direction of an independ-
ent and representative Board of Di-
rectors representing every phase of
our national life, so that Congress
shall not only coin money and regu-
late the value thereof but will carry
out the true spirit of the Constitu-
tion in regulating the expansion and
reduction of credit, not with view
of private gain, but in such a way as
to protect the interests of all our
citizens and secure and promote the
public welfare"

His voice, deep and vibrant, had

He had said she was pretty. He

sweet. He begged her to tell her name.
But Martha had held him back at

What wonderful night It had

The sunshine next afternoon was

weather to keep her home.

FARMERS WEEK AT M. A. C..
- Ian. 30 TO FEB. 3.

Centering around the general
theme of Agricultural Finance
Farmers Week at the Michigan Agri-
cultural College, from Jan. 80 until
Feb. 8 this year, will strike a decid-
edly practical note. Thousands of
Michigan farmers attend this great
conference each winter, and plans to
entertain a record crowd are going
forward at the college.
Speakers for the general programs
of the week will include many ma
tionally known leaders in agricultur-
al and governmental field. President
NJ. l.. Burton of the University of
Michigan; President-elect David Fri
day of M. A. c.; Ex-Governor Chas.
Goodrich Of Indiana; Governor Groes-
beck of Michigan; Congressman John
G. Ketcham and Patrick Kelly of
Michigan; and DR.. Caroline Hedger
of Chicago will be among the head
liners. The heads of all leading state
agricultural organizations and insti-
tutions will also be heard. These will
include H. H. Halliday, State De-
partment of Agriculture; L. w. Wat
kins, State Board of Agriculture
A. B. Cook, State Grange; Grant
Slocum, Cleaner Organization; AL
fred Allen, Michigan Farmers Club
Association; James Nicol, Farm
Bureau; and r. S. Shaw, Michigan
Agricultural College.
Nearly dozen special agricultural
organizations will hold their annual
meetings at East Lansing during
Farmers Week. The State Farm
Bureau, the Michigan Crop Improve
ment Association, the State Horticul-
tural Society, and others will be num-
bered among those which will bring
in the largest attendance.
Exhibits are being planned along
new lines and will be both instruc-
tive and interesting. The M. A. C.
exhibit at the recent International,
both farm crops and livestock, will be
one of the features of the Farmers
Week displays. A big horticultural
show, planned and arranged by stu
dents of the college, will be another
special exhibit, although all depart
ments of the college agricultural di-
vision are to be represented in some
of the displays.
Special programs for the women,
who will make their headquarters at
the college Woman's Building, are
being planned. They will have their
own speakers, exhibits, and confer
ences, and will match entertainment
with the men all during the week.
A big parade, in which all the NOV
ing equipment of the college agricul-
tural division will take part, is but
one of the many entertainment feat
ures planned.
Last winters attendance at the an
nual gathering was estimated at more
than 5000. College authorities ex-
pect to entertain an even larger
crowd if weather conditions are fav-
orable this year.

No. VIII
LOOKING FORWARD

Mankind, after passing through the
stone age, the bronze age and the
varying phases of civilization now
faces the dawn Of new era. Thomas
Edison, in a recent interview, declared
that we have entered into the Age of
Chemistry and the remarkable achieve
ments Of laboratory workers serve to
substantiate this statement.
1t is difficult to prophesy how great
will be the contribution Of chemists
to our present civilization, but so
much has been accomplished and so
great is the expectancy that it is evil
dent why thoughtful men are insist
ing that the public should be awak-
ened to full knowledge of the signi6-
canoe of the science of its national life.
The synthetic chemist has been able
20 produce practically all necessary
war materials and thousands of arti-
cles invaluable in peace times, mostly
from coal tar, but it has only touched
the fringe of its ultimate development.
Synthetic foods and substances so
deadly as to make war impossible may
be expected from the researchers.
Edwin T. Slosson, in his splendid
book, Creative Chemistry" quotes
one of the greatest French chemists,
Berthelot, as follows:
"The problem OF food is a chemical
problem. The day will come when
each person will carry for his nour-
ishment his little nitrogenous, his pat
