pAR0DlES ALWAYS IN ORDER
Omar Khayyam and the Ever-Deight-

hausted the List.

Does your memory go back to the
time when everyone was writing par
odies of the Rubaiyat Of Omar khay-
yam? When it was considered very
literary to know all about Omar, and
when all the writer's, both would-be
and professional, were reducing the
hypnotic Quatrains to modern terms?
The newspapers were full of "Omars
Up-to-date," and quite a lot of them
got into the magazines before the craze
died down.
After that par0dists sought other
inspiration, but found no material that
suited them quite so well, until few
years ago, one Of them Glanced on the
Diary of Samuel Pepys. What rich
vein. The parodists went mad over
it, and have been digging there ever
since. Almost anybody can fiji up
column with chronicles in the Pepys
style, while the clever writer, by this
means, can make himself entertaining.

HOLD STORMY SESSION
TeXarkana Aldermen Wage Hot Fight
 On Proposed Water Ordinance.

TeXafkana, Dec. 13--An ordinance adopted by the Texas side City Coun- Gil more than month ago and which. 1t was hoped, would settle the long standing water controversy if adopted by the Arkansas side City Council, was rejected by the Arkansas aldermen by a vote of five to three last night. The meeting was stormy and at times the red hot debate between members of the opposing factions almost reached the riot stage. It is probable that there will be further efforts soon to settle the trouble.
 The defeated ordinance provides an increase in rates of about 25 per cent for domestic purposes and 33 1-3 per cent for industrial purposes. There was no objection to this raise, but there was a protest against the failure of the proposed ordinance to provio1 guarantees for the protection of the city's interests. The water corpora ton merely promised that if the in- crease in rates were granted it would try to get an increase in water SUD- ply | is said the water corporation proposes to sink wells at point two miles west of the city for an additiona / water supp'y which would require a large sum.
 Mayor McLain, Alderman Dreyer and City Attorney Cook led the fight a. gainst the ordinance, while the other side was led by Alderman John N. Cook and G. P. Winham. The latter explained that they simply wanted to defer action until further proposals may be had from the water corpora tion's head offices in Philadelphia. Eff forts of the Chamber of Commerce to secure favorable action on the propos- ed ordinance were vigorously denounc ed by the mayor and some of the mem bers of the council.

SAPIRO BEFORE SOLONS
Urges Extension of Maximum Maturity
 of Agricultural Paper.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Extension of paper which can be rediscounted by federal reserve banks from six to nine months was urged before the Senate Committee on Banking and Currency today by Aaron Sapiro, attorney for cooperative marketing associations, which will hold a national conference in Washington this week MT. Sapiro also proposed that the federal reserve act be amended to provide specifically that Federal Reserve banks shall con sider as agricultural paper the notes of cooperative organizations. Two of the Federal Reserve banks have re- fused to construe the present law in this manner.
 The proposal to extend the maximum maturity of agricultural paper, as pro- vided in several of the bills pending before the committee, drew comments from several members of the commit tee which indicated doubt in thelr minds as to the desirability of such a move Senator Glass, Democrat, Vir- ginia, who was chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Currency at the time of the framing of the fed eral reserve act, and who later serveo as secretary of the treasury, seemed especially doubtful of the wisdom O.. any action which might interfere with the liquidity of the paper held by Fed eral Reserve banks.
 'The federal reserve system is es- sentially a reserve system as distin- guished from primary banking sys tem," said Senator Glass "The func- tion of the Federal Reserve banks is not to discount paper but to redis- count. Unless the reserve banks are in position to meet all emergencies the purpose is destroyed. If you evel undertake to make of +he federal re- serve banking system a primary sys- tenn you may wreck the whole system.
 "The Dallas Federal Reserve bank came near being wrecked a few years ago even under present limitations. If the other Federal Reserve banks had not come to it's aid, it would have been wrecked"
 Commenting on the Dallas system, MT. SapirO said that Speculators who held cotton bought at high prices were responsible and that the cooperative are producers and are seeking only to promote orderly marketing and look ed at things from a different viewpoint than the speculators. He declared that maturities of agricultural paper ought more nearly to approximate the period of turnover
