POLITICS seen
IN RATE WAR

With a political storm gathering
over action OF the Federal Reserve
Board in forcing q az per cent re.
discount rate on the Chicago bank,
officials here today anticipated q
showdown which will determine
whether Americas financial and
banking policies are to be shaped
exclusively in Washington and New
York.
Secretary Mellon, chairman and
ex-officio member Of the Federal Re.
serve Board. and other Treasury of.
ficials are said to regard the situa.
ton with some apprehension from
the political standpoint, especially
In view of the approaching cam.
paign.
Reduction of the Chicago rate
over protest of its directorate, was
made in the absence Of Secretary
Mellon and over the protest of Vice
Gov. Edmund Platt and, it was said,
one other member Of the Federal
board.
When the new 81 per cent rate
went into effect in the San Fran.
cisco district today. all Federal Re.
serve banks were on a uniform ba sis
with the exception of Minneapolis,
which still has a per cent rate.
Kansas City was the first bank
to cut, having acted at the request
Of the reserve board. Rate cutting,
az q rule. Is started by the powerful
New York bank.
The lower rates were interpreted
az an effort to give the farmers
cheaper money as well as to stimu.
lat the use by member banks Of
greater Federal Reserve credit. Ap.

What The Parents Should
Know.

It is very hard to know that so few pa.
rents are interested to know how their
children are getting along in the school,
and if they are Interested at all, they pay
little attention to it. Their business, or
the daily routine of their domestic duties,
may keep them from thinking about this
important factor in the life of the child,
that contributes greatly to the happiness
of the home. They may see their daugh-
ter Mary or their son Joe coming home at
fur o'clock, with a heap of books and
place them on some table on which they
take a rest during the night until Mary
and Joe are ready to go to school the fol-
lowing morning. / should say the eye Of
of the parents is quite satisfied to see this
amount of books brought home by their
children and through this they may be
sure that they are doing wonders. | must
say they are mistaken. What Mary and
Joe are doing is just wasting their pre-
cious time miseTably in the school; they
are just wearing dresses and shoes, and
far from the idea of replacing this waste
by n%Ourishing their brains Intellectually,
contributing in this manner to the hap
piness of the home as | have said before,
and in the meantime, paving their way to
their future life.
| think, and l am sure. l am not wrong
in my thinking, that there should be a
good understanding between the parents
and the teacher. To accomplish this,
that is one of the most important points;
the parents must perform the following
duties:
/ To encourage the child to be ODE
dent as sometimes they are very stub
born. Disobedience i%nclines them to be
rude to their own parents, to the teacher.
and to other people as well. 1t makes
them also TO lose The interest TO study the
school books trcm which they have to
prepare their lessons and be ready to re-
cite. To-Day the majority Of children pay
attention rather to a magazine, a novel
or any other foolish book. than to their
own school books. Many times they
bring these tooush books to the class

children to study and prepare their lea

3. To encourage them to be pune
to the rules of attendance, that is:
(a) They must not be late or abse

(b) To succeed in this, the pare
must see that the children have thA

The section of this town known as
Water Gut" is again gradually resum-
ing the appearance of former years when
the ralnfull is alleged to have been more
regular. Recent dOWnpours which have
continued more or less steadily in the
past months have opened up the Springs
around the big cutters and what have been
dry ravines for years are now flowing.
On inquiry as to why there have Keen
no band concerts on the wharf the last
few weeks, it is advised that on account
of illness in the neighbOrhoOd the band
has not been practising. However, it is
expected to make a public appearance at
an early date.
For the past few days the barometer
showed tendency of going down until
about l.30 p. no. yesterday it read 29.73.
This indicates a weather disturbance
somewhere around with no immediate
danger to US, as the barometer is now ris
ing again. 1t read at 7.30 this morning
20. 78. The end of the hurricane season is
near and we hope that our share at this
time will be the welcome rain which we
have been getting for the past weeks.
The work of installing additional lights
on the wharf is now started. The men
from the Electric Power Plant are busy
erecting posts tor the wires. We hope
soon to see the new lights.
Since the recent rain the grass on the
wharf needs some attention. The De-
partment in charge of public parks is
sure to have this matter looked after
soon.

Grange a Big Factor

The Grange played conspicuous
part in the recent Congressional
hearings at Washington on the sub
ject of Farm Relief, and made the
force of that organization strongly
felt in clear-cut fashion in the midst
of the conflicting proposals advocat-
ed from many different sources, to
aid the farmer in the present de-
pressed condition. Grange back
ing was put solidly behind the eX-
port debenture plan, which the or
SANITATION at it's national meeting in
Portland, Maine, strongly endorsed,
! and the Grange viewpoint was pre-
sented by it's executive head, Worthy
! Master Louis J. Taber, former d1-
rector of agriculture of the state of
I Ohio.
Mr.. Taber made very clear to the
/ Congressional committee the atti-
tude of the Grange in demanding
! that the farmers get some benefit
out of a protective tariff, which re-
suits in such unlimited favors to
many lines of industry, and pointed
out that the export debenture plan
which the Grange is sponsoring is in
no sense a government subsidy to the
farmer, nor class legislation in the
slightest degree; but is simply an
equalization of tariff benefits by re-
lieving the farmer of the inevitable
loss sustained on his surplus pro-
duets unless, by some such method
as the debenture, they can be export
ed at living price.
The Congressional committee sub
mitted the Grange plan to the clos
est scrutiny and the National Master
was supported in his presentation
by the legislative office of grange
in washington and by all members
of the executive committee of the
organization This is the most i'm
portant legislative matter which the
Grange has entered into in years
and it's support is thoroughly appre-
ciated by the stricken farmers OF
the great Central West.
