cult court, has asked Governor Edwin
p. Morrow to offer $500 reward each
for the capture OF Robert and Charles
Ballard. sons OF Jen Ballard. a large
landowner OF the Slate Greek section
OF Menifee county.
Members OF the posse returned TO
Lexington Sunday night following the
killing OF young Treadway, because II
was considered suicidal to stay in the
region with darkness coming on and
the members OF the gang securely hid
den on the mountain tops.

GRAND Jury FAILS TO
INDICT m SLkYIMG
Mason County Grand Jury After In
vestigating Boiler Staying Fails to
Return Indictment.

Following the Coroner's inquest into
the death Of John Boiler, the witnesses
were called before the Mason county
grand jury Monday afternoon for a
more thorough investigation. Most Of
Monday afternoon was spent in this
investigation.
The grand jury reported late Mon
day butthey failed to return an
indictment and this is taken by the
public as a vindication of Leonard
Faul and orville Owens.
The grand jury did, however, return
two other indictments. One was
against Ed Taylor charging him with
carnally knowing n female over 16
years OF age, and the other was against
Taylor Sweet charging him with ma.
liciously cutting and wounding an
other with intent TO kill.

GOVERNMENT Wins
and LOSES CASES
ON PROHIBITION
Supreme Court Holds That Defendant
May Be Tried In Both the State and
the Federal Court for the Same
Violation of Dry Laws.

Washington, Dec. IL. - Two cases
considered by the government of
major Importance in the enforcement
of national prohibition were decided
by the supreme court Monday. In one
of them, coming from the state of
Washington, the government scored a
sweeping victory; the supreme court
holding that both the federal and a
state government can prosecute and
punish the same unlawful act in the
manufacture, possession, transporta-
tion or sale of intoxicating liquors.
In the other case, coming from Cali
fornia, the government lost in its con-
tention that in the enforcement of
national prohibition an executive Off
Ger can impose and collect as taxes
the assessments and penalties imposed
by those sections of the revised stat
utes which remain unrepealed by the
Volstcad act, and which became law

ing $3,305,000,000" This he attrib-

An analysis OF this "loss in depos-

the period specified by the critic the
loans OF the national banks were re-
duced S809,000,000. 1t is well known
that deposits are built up through
credit transactions-that is by loans.
When loans are paid, the process IS
reversed and deposits decline.
But, taking the shrinkage as it
stands, there is another side to the
picture. The deposits of national
banks increased during the period
which | am reviewing-that is, from
1914 to 1921, from $S,563 zoo, 900 to

in any three decades prior to that
time. and there has been greater sta
biIity in the conduct of the banking

banking power has developed almost
as much within this brief period as it
had during the entire period of bank
ing up to that time. The banks of

State banks, up to 1913, from the be-

The Federal Reserve System

There is no exact or close parallel IN
the banking system of any country to
the Federal Reserve System. we al,
perhaps, hear more of the BANK Oh
England and its operations than OIL
any other central bank, although the
Bank of France is in many respects
the greatest of all central banks. IN
France there are only a few JOINT
stock banks.
In the United Kingdom, there were
only SO banks up to recent date, ouI
these banks had established 9,462
branches, or one branch to. about every
5000 population. In the nelgnoorihig
Dominion of Canada, where before the
organization of Federal Reserve
Banks, they had banking system SUI
perior to ours. in some respects, par
ticularly as to the currency, there are
only 10 banks, MT these banks have
I3515 branches. These conditions are
recited for the purpose OF bringing
them in contrast with the more than
200 independent banking instltu-
i tions of all classes in this country, ~

There are some who allege that the
policies which they ascribe to those
charged with the administration OF
the system, were the direct cause OF
deflation in prices" and destruction
of the purchasing power of a large
portion of the nation" by reason Of the
losses inflicted upon those affected by
decline in the prices of that which
they produced or held. Even if this
were admitted, during the operation
of the system there has been, neverthe-
less, an unparalleled advance in the

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DEAD

WHAT HAPPENED TO The DEAD
The first people must have been
careless of what they did with the
bodies of comrades who died, They
doubtless threw them into the rivers
and lakes, or else tossed them INTO
the bushes. The idea was 10 get rld
OF those who could no longer walk OF
talk.
Then people became more thought
ful of dead persons. Affection found
its way into the breasts Of savage men,
and they became sorry when friend
or relative died They buried the
corpses instead of tossing them to
one side.
1t was widely believed that the dead
persons would wake up at a later
time. In order to prepare Tor this
awakening, Stone Age people began
to bury things with dead persons.
These things were tools, weapons, or
namentS, sometimes even food. The
idea was to provide for the needs OF
the person when he woke.
Let Us take a few examples OF such
burialS.
IN q cave near MOntterrand,
France, was found the skeleton OF a
man who lived in the middle portion
OF the Stone Age. This man was
only feet inches tall. The persons
who buried him stretched out his
limbs SO that he lay at full length.
They placed around his neck circlet
Of pretty shells, and by his side they
laid q large number of fine flint tools
and weapons.

proportions. After the shrinkage. to
