the Conqueror, as standard bearer to
Viscompte de Pulsedon, a noble Nor
man, and that the name is derived
from the ONCE of standard bearer,
and was anciently written De La
Standard.
The ancestor Of this family in
America was John Stodder, who first
appears on the records In 1888. Some
Of his descendants spell the name
Stoddert, others Stoddard. He was
made freeman in the Massachusetts
Colony in 1642, was an officer in the
Colonial militia and a man of con-
siderable wealth in his community.
Samuel, the son of John, was like
wise ready to serve his country, and
family history relates that as soon as
he was old enough to shoulder a gun
he assisted in the defense of his town.
In his later life this early training
fitted him to serve in many Colonial
combats with the Indians.
The Revolutionary soldier OF the
family was Isaiah Stodder, great
grandson of Samuel. Following the
example of all his family, he was an
ardent Whig.

The Old Gardener Says:

Some vegetables, like peas,
spinach. onions, parsnips, beets
and carrots, can be planted Just
as soon as the ground can be
worked. The simplest way TO
test the soil is to take a handful
and squeeze 1t rather hard. If
it makes a solid mass, showing
the prints of the fingers. it is too
wet to be cultivated. If. however,
it crumbles in the hand. 1t is
ready for planting. Many gardens
have been ruined by being plowed
and spaded while they were too
wet. Nothing is gained by plant
ing seeds in cold, soggy soil.

We start with the Govern
ment's credit. 1t borroWs from

spends for relief" for stimula-
ton schemes, for bank stocks, and
for buying gold" This spend
ing builds up Government and
other deposits in the member
banks. These result in "excess
reserve" deposits with the Federal
Reserve Banks. These excess re-
serves are then used to finance
the Government for more spend
ing.
Two related facts are ~ the
accumulation Of funds in New
York and ~ abnOrmally low
money rates.
The demank deposits of the
New York banks increased last
week, largely on account Of the
balances of outside banks held
here. The "due to banks" item
in the New York bank statement
is IA billion dollars, against only
$500, 1000, 900 last year. And the
gold imports also cause funds to
pile up here.
Money Rates Fall
OF course, money rates fall,
and the rate on bankers accept
ances has been reduced to " of
l per cent (90-day asked rate).
These conditions are not "nat-
ural." They are the result Of an
excessive resort to the capital
market by the Government, which
is virtually monopolizing that
market for it's short-term borrow
ing.
The Government is the big bor-
rover and Spender. It is also
the big banker, and is artificially
making low money rates by a
new sort Of "open market op-
Grafton" centering on those gold
certificates.
Business is expanding. Let us
hope that this may not prove to
be entirely due to Government
debt, so that expansion may not
be checked by credit stringency
if, as and when Government
spending ends.
