A friend has gone to her Maker
A flower with its petals full blown,
So rude1y tossed by the tempest
Is lodged in Gods beautiful home.
Her life was fair, but so fragile,
So tender with sister and brother.
Gave to home it's delicate perfume
In the sacred name of Mother.
She loved the beautiful flowers,
Their beauty and sweetness rare
Spoke of peace and pardon and breath
Awaiting her over there.
She heard the Angels calling
And the Masters voice said Come;
And SO she left her loved ones
And the Angels took her home.
We lay her to rest meath snowdrifts
OF flowers pure and white.
We scatter our tears and our roses,
Our Father knows what is right.
A Friend.

OHIO TEACHER REFUTES
 CONAN DOYLE'S THEORY

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 16,-"If a spirit cannot communicate with us, we have no basis on which to req son." declared Prof. H. E. Burtt, de- partment of psychology, Ohio State University
 Prof. Burtt's assertion has refer ence to the visit to this country of Sir A. Conan Doyle, noted English writed, whose arrival here was marked by his expression of belief in spir- itualism.
 About the existence of a spirit world and what happens there we have no existing source of information , continued Prof, Burtt. "Telepathy cannot stand the tests of laboratory experiments. Until we can prove mental telepathy we cannot talk about spiritualism."

SHORT SKIRTS TABOO
 IN NORMAL INSTITUTE

NEW ORLEANS, La, June 16. - Skirts worn above the knee are banned by the student body of the Normal School here, it was announced recent ly.
 The announcement was made be- cause of criticism of attire worn by the girls on a recent trip abroad on excursion steamer.
 Critics said the girls wore 'em above the bend.
 In their announcement the student body terms the accusation an insult.
 Normal school girls know better than to wear skirts above the knees,' ' says the announcement. "They have never appeared like that in public. Never will they. While we want none of our girls to feel as if they must not wear skirts above the. knees we do not believe we should regulate the length of dresses, for some girls are taller than others"

HARDING WILL VIEW
 SARCOPHAGUS MODEL

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Presidant Harding and Secretary of War Weeks soon will receive for their inspection sculptor's model of a sarcopEagus to be placed over the grave of the un known soldier at the Arlington Memo rial Amphitheater.
 The model already has been given favorable consideration by officials of the Quartermaster Corps, and it is ex pected the contract will be awarded immediately after the President and Secretary Weeks complete their in spection.
 The design calls for square, white marble shaft, thirty-two feet in height and approximately five feet in diame ter. Suitable emblems of the mili tary and naval services will be placed near the top on each side, while the lower sides of the shaft will bear ap. propriate inscriptions. The phrase "Dulce ct decoru1n est pro patria mori' will adorn one side and on the other sides will be ex tracts from President Hardings ad dress made last Armistice Day at Ar lington when the unknown soldier was buried
 One quotation will be: "The name of him whose body lies before us took flight with his imperishable soul. We know not whence he came, but only that his death marks him the ever lasting glory of an American dying for his country" The other quotation is: "We do not know the eminence of his birth, but we do know The glory of his death. He died for ais coun. try, and greater devotion hath no man than this. He died unqueotion' ing, uncomplaining, with faith in his heart and hope on his lips that his country should triumph and it's civ ilization survive"

SENATE BILL WOULD ADMIT
 SMALL BANKS RESERVE SYSTEM

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Eight of eleven governors of the Federal Re- serve banks who conferred here re- gently and a majority of the Federal Reserve Board have expressed their approval of the bill sponsored by Sen ator Harris ,(D), of Georgia, which would permit State banks to enter the Federal Reserve system with a small CT capital than the amount now pre- scribed.
 Senator Harris proposed the meas ure with a view of admitting small State banks to the system with a capi- tai as small as $15,000 AS member of the Agricultural Bloc," he is of the opinion that small State banks come in direct contact with the farmers and that through them the greatest good can be accomplished in extending agri- cultural credits.
 The Harris bill would also remove the restrictions which bar from the system small banks which possess a smaller capital than the minimum amount prescribed for a national bank in their community, or because of population limitation which pre-. vents them from assuming the status of a national bank
 It would also allow a small bank to enter the system If 1t possesses a paid-up, unimpaired capital Of at least 60 per cent of the amount sufficient to entitle it to become a national bank under the National Bank act, and Il under such rules, and regulations as the Federal Reserve Board may pre- scribe it sets aside annually in a fund an amount of not less than 20 per cent of it's net income for the preceding year and it increases its capital from such fund from time tc time rStil it possesses a paid-up and unimpaired capital sufficient to give
The Cordova daily times., 1922-06-16

it the status of national bank in it's community.
 PROVISIONS OF MEASURE
 Senator Harris said that his bill would allow State banks With a capi- tai of $15,000, if situated in a conlmun- ity of 5000 or less, to come into the Federal Reserve system, as it would those with a capital of. $30,000, if sit uated in a city of 5000 or less; $60000, if situated in a community of 50,oo0 or less, or $12O,OOO if situated in a community with a population exceed ing 5O,0O0."
 Governor Harding, of the Feueral Reserve Board, informed the Senate Banking and Currency Committee re- gently that the Board felt that the en- actment of the Harris bill would be a distinct step toward remedying the defect caused by 35 or 40 per cent of the banking resources of the country not being in the Federal Reserve sys- tenn"
 "The great majority of banks with a capital of less than $25,OOO are ln the agricultural sections,' Senatfr Harris explained, "and a greater pro portion of their loans represent ad vanoes made to farmers than is the case with the larger financial instltu tions. The passage of my bill would place the benefits of the Federal Re serve system, more easily within the reach of the agricultural interests" But two members of the Federal Reserve Board are understood to be opposed to the Harris bill, because they believe it "discriminates against national banks"
 Senator Harris expects, however the Agricultural Bloc" to endorse the measure and to thus pave the way for it's enactment before the end of the present session.

MOTOR CARS HAVE GREATLY
 LEssENED DEMAND FOR OATS

Chicago, Dec. 27.-American farmers are losing approximately s30.0o0.000 q year on their oats crop. and probably a like amount on their hay crops, through the use Of automobiles, motor trucks and tractors, which have largely supplanted the use of horses in the cities, according to Robert McDeugal, president Of the Chi eago Board of Trade, in snaiyzing the effect of motorized hauling on the horse and grain market. Mir. McDougal be- lieves, however. the pendulum Is swing ing the other way, pointing out that the prices on good dPaft horses are adyanc- Ing.
 "In 1910 there were 3,56e.000 horses in the cities" said MT. McDougal, while in 1920 there was trifle more than half that number. Most city horses are fed upon oats and hay. Oats prices recently averaged 65 cents below wheat prices whereas before we began using gasoline they averaged 62 cents below wheat This Is a joss of three cents per bushei which based upon an average crop of one billion bushels nets the farmer a tidy loss.
 There is no doubt the big power trac' tor has reached the saturation point. IT many farming sections high-poweret tractors were bought by small size farm erS, It was a disastrous venture fo.

The diamond has always been re- garded as possessing one quality which placed 1t beyond rivalry, namely, that of hardness.

THE NAvAL AGREEaEENr.

Just how 1t can be otherwise than g surprise to those who have long waved the aag of the yellow peril. when Ja- pan comes forth with the idea Of a three-power naval pact iR ease France and Italy failed to Fatify the Wash lngteA agreement, is difieuit to under stand. Japan has been held up as one ee the countries to be most dreaded and yet Japan has recognized the folly of engaging further in the extFayagant and wasteful policy of warship con- petition. Not only asd it participate E reaching the agreement. but it ratified the dve-power pact, eagerly looks for- ward to such action by the two ceun- tries that have thus far failed to do so, and is now inclined to retain the benefits of it by an understanding be- tween the three leading nations, if by any chance France and Italy iAaist on staying outside. In other words it does not look faVeFabiy upon the possibility of having the recognized advantage of the naval restriction plan thrown over board by France and Italy when it Is possible for the three leaders te stand together regarding 1t. Japan thus ap- peaFv to firmly committed to peace and not the eager seaFcher for trouble that 1t has been pictured.
 This plan coming from Japan Is ol course worth considering if 1t becomes necessary. And yet 1t cannot be be. iieVed that France will not do what its premier has urged should be carried out as soon as possible, and with France among the signers strong res. son for Italy doing likewise will be furnished.
 The three leading powers might go it alone ln view of the nnaheial condition of the other two countries but the pur pose is one that sheuld be approved bS all, and when such & step has beer taken theFe is good reason why attea ton should be directed to having a-si.n liar agreement apply to vessels undel l0,o0o tons.
 Following the wasAinstea eoafeTene, 1t is gratifying to note the eHthpsiasss that Is being manifested by Japan. T Is an attitude that assures better reia donships.
