He: You don't really mean TO sit there and say
you don't know what the Federal Reserve Board is,
do you, hon2 I'd hate to hear you admit it in COM
pany.
She: DO you know what 1t is7
He: Certainly. ! supposed everybody knew.
She: Well, what is it?
He Cuncomfortably): Wei, it's er, it's a board
ahen-its a group Of men who. er. who. well, it's q
kind OF round table OF big men who have charge Of
the federal reserve.
She: What's the federal reserve?
He: It's a reserve controlled by the federal gov
eminent. You know what a reserve Is.
She: It's a place where deer are kept.
He: Something like that. except that in this case
it is a place where money is kept. When the banks
want money they so to the reserve for it. It's very
simple.
she: But what's the Federal Reserve Board got
to do with the stock market?
He: The board fixes the discount rate.
She: What's the matter with the discount rate?
He: Nothing.
She: Then why does 1t need fixing?
He desperately: 1t fixes the rate in the sense or
setting a rate. The whole question Of credit is wound
around the discount rate.
She: How?
He: Well. it's all mixed up somehow with the
question Of brokers' loans. Now when .
She: What are brokers loan?
He: You see, when / buy a stock on margin my
broker has to pay for it outright and to do this he
has to borrow the money and pay interest. The in
terest he has to pay depends on the rediscount rate
added to the gold reserves and divided by the un-
filled tonnage or something. Now the rediscount rate
is all up to the Federal Reserve Board plus the ques-
ton whether Secretary Mellon will resign.
She: But who are the members Of the Federal Re-
serve Board?
He: Gen. Dawes. Dwight Morrow, Flagpole Kelly,

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives
Advertise Valley Citrus

The virtues and goodness Of sunkist citrus fruits
oranges. grapefruit and l~emons-will be extolled to the
public during the coming year to the time Of $780,
900. according to an announcement Of the California
Citrus Fruit Growers Exchange.
About n per cent Of this huge fund vii be spent in
newspapers and magazines which reach the general
public. More than ls per cent will be used in pub
locations which reach the jobbers and wholesalers, and
the remainder will be spent in placing the advertis-
ing.
OF the total 81, I. 600 will be spent on the orange
crop. $4,000 on the lemon crop and $4,000 on grape
fruit.
OF course, the infant citrus industry Of the Valley
cannot conduct so extensive q campaign as this. But
Valley citrus should be advertised. Its superior quality
alone can not be expected to create markets for the
rapidly increasing production.
And this is an especially timely season to make a
start. Valley orchards should yield in the neighbor-
hood Of 100000 boxes Of fruit during the coming
season. Florida will be unable to play her usual I'M
portant dole in the citrus market because OF the
Mediterranean fruit fly infestation.
Valley production is largely grapefruit. and con-
seuuently the major portion Of any advertising fund
should be devoted to the sale Of grapefruit. It VIII
be noted that the California exchange contenplates
expenditure OF only $4,000 10 aoVertse grapefruit
The Valley could. by spending only slightly more than
This sum. dominate the market.
The California fund is raised by an advertising as
sessment on every box Of fruit handled by the ex-
change. This assessment is 5 cents on each box OF
oranges or grapefruit and 10 cents on each box OF
lemons.
The Texas Citrus Fruit Growers Exchange assesses
an advertising charge on every box Of fruit handled
by that organization. but this is not enough. An
advertising campaign should be paid for by every
grower in the Valley. for every man who has a box Of
fruit TO sell would profit.
If the Valley produces 100000 to 100000 boxes Of
fruit this year an assessment of 10 cents per box
would raise a fund Of $4,000 to 100000. With this
sum or money a sizeahle campaign could be conducted;
a campaign which would be sure to attract the at
tention Of the American public and it would be double
effective at this time.
There would be difficulty in securing an agreement
from even a majority OF the growers In this section
and this would make the cost Of administration rather
high, but the results would be worth the cost.
II such q fund is raised IL should be spent through
q trained advertising agency to produce the best re-
suits.

Texas is the largest producer of sulphur Of any
American state. Sulphur plants and deposits are To-
Gated in Wharton county. Assessment Of the Texas
Gulf Sulphur company IS slightly below S3,O0o.OO0
Taxpayers Of Wharton county insist that the sulphur
company should pay on assessments in tbs same radio

Asst. Atty. Gen. Paul d. Page has been assigned

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT C. PLUMsIER

WASHINGTON. May 29.-Alexandre Dumas famed
three musketeers could never boast Of the strength and
power that can three members OF the lower house OF
congress.
For the Athcs. Prothos and Aramis on capitol hill
are all powerful. BY virtue Of their ability to lead,
along with the powerful positions they hold. the three
are invincible.
It is largely because Of them that the present house
Of representatives enjoys the reputation of being the
most efficient organization In the history Of the ma
.tional legislature.
The triumvirate is composed Of:
Nicholas Longworth, speaker.
John Cuillin Tilson. republican floor leader.
Bertrand II. Smell. chairman OF the rules com
mittee.
Upon the shoulders OF these men rests the respon-
sibility OF seeing that nothing but good administra-
ton policy is followed in the house. This is quite 8
task. when 1t Is considered that they have 432 indie
minds to deal with.
But they have been highly successful Evidence
of this is seen in the quick manner the house passed
the farm relief measure. The bill was introduced. con-
sidered in detail and passed in record time. The SEN
ate debated and wrangied for days.
