Additional children are being

branch banking. Perhaps branches of the
big banks can be maintained in many OF
the towns now without banks. Senator
Glass believes that will strengthen the
banking system and afford banking facili-
ties for many communities in need Of bank
ING accommodations. Senator Long charges
that the plan is proposed for the purpose
Of PLAYING into the hands of the bankers IN
the great cities of the country, the ooys
who already have strangle-hold on the
finances of the United States.
The average man can read Glass argu-
ments and read Huey Longs arguments
and the comment of the press and not be
any wiser than he was before reading and
not be more ready and willing to trust the
control of all the money in the country III
the hands of men in New York, Chicago
and few other money centerS. The aver
age man in the country or in the small
towns likes to know that the bank where
he does his business is owned and operated
by his neighbors and acquaintance and
believes he will get fairer treatment and
greater accommodations from such a bank
than could be obtained from bank owned
in and operated from great city. That IS
one phase of the opposition to branch
banking.
On the other hand, local ownership and
operation of banks has been one of the dill
ficulties in the way of their success IN the
smaller places and it has been clearly DEM
onstrated that these institutions do not
have sufficient strength to stand up under
unusually adverse conditions and pressure.
This fact has started movement for
changes in the banking system which is
represented by the efforts of Senator Glass
and others to improve and strengthen it. 1t
is pointed out that half dozen large
banks do all the banking business in Can
ada, that the banks in the smaller places
are branches of the big banks, and that
there have been very few bank failures ii
Canada in hundred years.
The people of the United States want a
sound banking system. They want strong
and reliable banks; but they do not want
a banking system that will dominate and
Cypress the business men of the country.
If a safe banking system can be devised,
and at the same time, control of the money
of the country and its business can be kept
out of the hands of few big and unscrup-
ulouS money kings, the recovery of the
United States from the depression will be
fastened and the probability of future de-
pressions lessened.

Dycing Kangaroo

Kangaroo leather may be dyed
any color, and does not differ in
this respect from other feathers.
The reason feathers in general, and
particularly kangaroo leather, are
dyed usually brown or black is that
these colors enable the blenIishes
on the side to be more easily con-
cealed. Kangaroo leather makes a
very fine boot leather.

In the Farm Home
Il Just Came Home With a
New Fighting Spirit

Our fight must clrry US further
than just to better conditions, but
we must fight against war.
Where is there a wife, mother,
daughter, or sweetheart whose
heart does not miss a beat at the
thought of another war. Let no
womanI close her eyes and ears to
the fact that all the imperialist
nations are preparing at great
speed for another war to slaughter
our boys.
Dear women, / am writing these
words from the very heart of a
mother, for l too have boys. We,
the women toilers must teach our
boys, that if they are to fight and
die, then let them fight and die
like heroes for the class that they
were born to, the workers and
farmers, and not for the capital
lists and their profits. We must
teach and win our children to be
our friends and helpers in all our
struggles, as without them we are
lost, for the future belongs to
them. Start now teaching your
children what class they belong ia
and do not let the capitalists use
them against us.
Hope to see some Of you women
readers as we'll as writer's of the
Producers News in Chicago.

MOST DEATHS IN
CHILDBIRTH ARE
AVOIDABLE

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. IA.
"A report issued recently by the
Children's Bureau of the federal
government admits TINT 80 percent
of the deaths among working
class mothers in childbirth are
due largely to controllable d.
seases."
About 5000 cases have been
studied by the Children's Bureau.
Of these, almost 1000 had no
medical care whatever, except
when they were already dying.
Proper medical care at the right
time could easily have saved the
lives of these women.
The death rate for childbirth In
the Unitde States is the highest
of any civilized country in the
world.
The last session of Congress re-
duced or abolished whatever ma
