Plans for creating a revolving

ed ito congress, if such a fund is
deemed necessary, for it will require
legislation to ser up such a fund
and build the machinery for ad-

fund is bound to meet strenuous
opposition i'm congress. In fact,
Senator Carter Glass, former secre-
tary of the treasury and now rank

ing and currency committee voic-
ed his disapproval Immediately he
heard Of the plan.
To Mr.. Glass, the federal reserve
system is sacred, and the laying
on of republican hands to reshape
it is sacreligious. 1t is his child,

publican administration from cloth

permitted to pick out the cloth, cut
it and shape it. He will be the
watchdog, too, when 1t comes to
liberalizing federal reserve credit
regulations He told the President
as much at Tuesday nights confer

the rediscount base may permit

eligibility clause.
The President will strike strong
opposition, too, If he proposes an
extension of the war and inter-

talk and writings of those CORE

from several who had been invited
to the conference and who assumed
that that was its purpose.
The. President did discuss the
moratorium Tuesday night, but he
made no specified demand for sup
port in extending it and asked no
commitment of the men present.

Choosing Friends

Those .horrid Smith children
were throwing sand at the windows
again, yelling for Junior to come
out and play. Junior was rather
sulkily laying by himself in a cor
ner, to all appearances totally obi
vious to anything save the toy
engine he was tinkering with.
That nice little Jones boy mother
had in to play with Junior was
pretending not to notice this elab-
crate ignoring.
Mother was sorry that Junior
did not like little Percy Jones who
had such nice manners; but most
likely 1t was just Juniors stubbor-
ness that was making him treat
Percy like that. He wasn't angry
with Percy, but with her, because
she would not let him play out
doors. But what could she do?
Obviously she couldn't have him
with those "awfiil'' Smith children
who used swear words and played
rough" she and Junior had had
that out many times. The Smith
children, however wouldn't let
Junior alone; the moment he show
ed himself, there they were.
This Is common situation. Both
mother and children unnecessarily
agitating themselves over some
thing that is only part of every
ones experience.
Mother cannot protect Junior
from all the people he win meet;
but she can give. him a basis for
judging people; she can welcome
/ his friends to the house and by
gentle, indirect methods help him
to see them as they really are.
Above all, she can avoid saying,
thou shalt. not" play with the
Smiths, and SO make playing with
THE Smiths the most alluring thing
fin Juniors life. Junior can't UNI
Ederstand why he is not allowed
Ito play with the Smiths but he
|can understand certain. things that
another might have taught him
about good sportsmanship and
bbeying laws, and viewed through
this understanding, the friendship
with the. Smiths would probably
not last long, u -
On the other. hand, If mother
took thes trouble to : get well, ae-
!quainted with the, Smith children.
she might find in them qualities
that outweighed their annoying
|. Mothers often ask us II we do
not advise choosing children's
playmates< very cafefu1ly Much
has been written, both pro and
con, on the advisability Of "hand-
picking" children's friends, and
on the whole there seems to be
many more reasons why a child
should choose his own friends.
The parents cannat continue
choosing their child's friends all
through life or even during child
hood, and the child himself should
learn to make wise choices. Par.
ents can give the child 4 basis for
judging people by arranging fol-
him to come in contact with many
different types of personalities. :
OF course there is middle
ground between Manipulating" the
child's friends and turning him
loose to learn. bad habits from
strange children. But it is always
possible for mother, even In 9
largo city to know something
about her child's playmates. She
may call on her neighbors and in.
vite the children over for a simple
morning party now and then.

sands Of people all over the United
States was handed down by the
Minnesota Supreme Court last Fri
day when the judgment in the case
of Alfred Barsness VS. 3. T. Teigen
and other directors of the Farmers
State Bank Of Brandon was re-
yersed.
Alfred Barsness won a verdict in
the district court of Douglas coun-
ty last year in a suit against the
directors of the Farmers State
Bank, of Brandon, to recover the
amount of q certificate of deposit
in that bank which his father, Al
bert Barsness, had received on
June 25, 1925, and which had been
renewed to the son in the form of
certificates of deposit for $500,
$500 and $1,000, totaling SIS. 500.
The original certificate of deposit
was issued when the. bank was sol
vent, but the various renewals were
made at a time when the bank was
insolvent and the directors knew
or had good reason to know It to
be so. The decision of the district
court was to the effect that by so
renewing the certificate of deposit
the directors violated the law which
makes it an offense for, officers or
directors to receive bank deposit
knowing or having good reason to
know that it is unsafe or insolvent.
The Minnesota Supreme Court
reversed this decision on the
ground that renewing certificate
of deposit does not give the bank
any new money, while the statue
was intended to prevent a bank
when insolvent from receiving new
money from a depositor and to
protect the depositor from that
loss.
The syllabus of the decision is:
"a certificate of deposit in bank
is in legal effect promisory
note. It's renewal extends the time
of payment. It is not under usual
payment by the
bank and the making of a new de-
post. The surrender of a certifi-
cate and taking a renewal certifi-
cate in place of it do, not consti-
tute deposit within G.. s. 1928 q
Mason, 1920 10407, which makes it
an offense for officers and directors
of a bank to receive deposits know
ing or having good reason to know
that the bank is unsafe or insol-
vent. Judgment reversed"
Judge Dipell, in giving the opin-
ion of the court, said that the Wis
consin case where the renewal OF a
certificate of deposit was held to
be a deposit within similar sta
tute, differed from this case in that
the certificate holder added $50 in
cash when the certificate was re-
newed. He put new money into the
bank. In the Barsness case he did
not. Whether the renewal of a GER
tifcate is to be held as a continu-
ance of the old cers:scate or as evil
dence Of a fresh deposit depends
upon the particular facts of the
case and the particular statue con-
strued.
Leonard Erikson was the attorney
for Barsness and Constant Larson
Of Alexandria, and Frankberg.
Berghius and Frankberg, of Fergus
Falls, were the attorneys for the
bank directors. Constant Larson
made the plea to the supreme court
which resulted in the reversal OF
the judgments-Park Region Echo.
