REQUIEM

For One Slain In Battle
Breathe, trumpets, breathe
Slow notes of saddest wailinE-
Sadly responsive peal, We muffled drums;
Comrades, with downcast eyes
And banners trailing,
Attend him home,--
The youthful warrior comes
Upon his shield.
Upon his shield returning,
Borne from the field of honor
Where he fell;
Glory and grief, together claspcd
In mourning.
His fame. his fate
With sobs exuting tell.
Wrap around his breast
The flag his breast defended
His country's flag,
In battles front unrolled:
For it he died:
On earth forever ended
His brave young life
Lives in each sacred fold.
With proud fond tears,
BY tinge of shame untainted
Bear him, and lay him
Gently in his grave:
Above the hero write.-
The young half-sainted,-
His country asked his life,
His life he gave!

used by cotton growers as means of

used by cotton growers as means of
stopping it.
Under normal conditions" says the
governor of the Dallas institution, "the
rediscounts of the member banks with
the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas run
off very rapidly in the fall, and ordinar-
lily the season has not progressed very
far before we find ourselves with STIR
plus of funds"
Even this much should be sufficient to
refute any representations that member
banks may have made to farmers con-
corning an alleged unwillingness or in
ability of the reserve bank to help the
cotton growers at the time they stand in
great need of financial aid. If, hereaf-
ter. a banker should explain" to a
farmer seeking a renewal of a cotton
loan that the extension cannot be made
because the federal reserve institution is
calling in its money" the farmer might
do worse than pull the full statement
from his pocket and read aloud this part
of it:
UNLESS we can employ these (surplus)
funds in the district we are compelled to
invest them in bankers acceptances and
other eligible paper arising from transac-
tons in other districts
In other words, the governor of the
Dallas reserve bank believes in taking
care Of the legitimate needs of farmers
near at hand, first; if there is any sur
plus of funds left when that has been
done, then it is deemed proper to meet
Requirements in other fields.
II that should not convince a banker
who was trying to put the onus upon
the reserve institution, then the farmer
might continue his reading, as follows:
1--WE are quite anxious to use these
surplus funds at home and employ them
for the betterment of affairs in this dis
trict. We are not so much concerned
about member bank paying off ma
turing farmers note" (farmer's maturing
note, OF course) ''in cash if there is SEN
sible reason why new note OF the same
farmer for a reasonable amount, secured
10y warehouse receipts or other evidences
OF title to cotton which he has produced,
may be substituted"
Doubtless this goes" for other re-
serve banks, too. If the reserve system
is to perform the maximum of service for
the farmers-and by performing the
maximum Of service for the farmers TN
der present conditions it can best serve
the country as a whole-then it should
enable them. through loans, to combat
what has long been one of the most adj
verse tendencies of the cotton-growins
industry: namely, the tendency to dunn
the entire production upon the marke
within short space of time and thu
depress the price by raising the imme
!: date supply above the effective demand
This is the kind OF service, it appears
that the Dallas reserve bank, at least
is endeavoring to perform, and there il
no reason to assume that the other re
serve banks are being conducted on /;
different policy. But it devolves upor
the farmers to see to it that their loca
banks give them the full benefit of the
system OF financing that the federal re-
serve act was designed to make available
, in actual practice. q

A MAN WHO KEPT HIS HEAD

When the unexpected news Of Presi-
dent Harding's death was flashed over
the country, the American people could
not say, 'The King is dead! Long live
the Kingw But that old epigramrnatic
form of expressing grief without sur
render might we'll represent feeling not
discreditable to anyone who would EN-
ploy it in recognizing the passing of this
admirably democratic man. The Presi-
dent is dead! Long live the qualities
that endeared him to the American peo-
ple-to political friend and foe alike.
Those qualities, primarily, were per-
ssonal, vet they could not but find ex-
preston in official affairs. Not only was
he democratic, easily approachable, pa
{ tient, tolerant and kind. More impor-
tart, under the circumstances that handi-
capped the presidency during his incumb-
encv. was his calmness, his serenity of
speech, conduct and bearing at time
when more excitable mind might
easily have given away to the frantic
alarms that have been impelling many
peoples to ill-considered acts since the
world became stricken with the fever
of discomfort, hatred, fear and uncer-
tainty from which it is yet to be cured.
Mr.. Harding steadfastly refused to be
overwhelmed by irresponsible advice.
Yet he never lost patience even with the
Hotspurs that rallied at his conservatism.
There were those, of course, who, al
though realizing the danger in hasty ac-
ton, thought that in some cases his con-
servatism was carried too far. In so far
as this criticism bears upon international
affairs, only time can tell whether it was
Just.
However, il may be said with full con-
fidence that IL the chief government Of
| ficiais of all nations had practiced Presi-
!. dent Harding's philosophy during the
/ last few years the world would not now
/ be threatened with another war. Don't
!, rock the boatw But Mr.. Harding did

To find the weight of each of two
boys, who combine to weigh 100
pounds, on a scale that registers
nothing less than 100 pounds, was
not a difficult matter. The man stood
on the scale with the boys, and found
the total weight of himself and tn"
two boys. Then he had one boy get
off. and subtracted the weight of him
self and one boy from the original
weight. Then the other boy got off.
and the man subtracted his own
weight from that of himself and the
boy. Thus. each subtraction gave him
the individual weights of the first and
second boys, respectively.
