' Raetamond, "Va., Oct. ' 14 Governor Charles S. Hamlin, of the Federal Re serve Board, was the principal speaker today at the convention of the Ameri can Bankers' Association. Governor Hamlin told the bankers that he hoped to see the new system in. operation In a short time and predicted that it would prove an immense advantage to the country. The European war furnished Gov ernor Hamlin with an opportunity to compliment the bankers on the spirit they have shown In helping to restore disturbed financial conditions but he gave -warning that the problems which have arisen from the war should not be attacked so that "th& xemedie proposed are worse than the disease." He said in part: "The federal reserve banks are quick-1 ly approaching the time of opening and operation'. As soon as certain necessary preliminaries have been ac complished their doors will open for business. - There is to bet a conference In Washington on October 20 at which committees representing the director of the various reserve banks will be present - and it is hoped that : then an authoritative statement may , be made of an early date when the banks will fcpen. - .-,"' .. . " "Many important questions . are now pending before the reserve board. Among these are ' clearances of checks and the definition of eligible commer cial paper. . ' "I want to emphasize the necessity of establishing- branches of our na tional banks In . foreign countries." We have already approved applications for two branches in . South America and one on the Isthmus of Panama. . "Along these lines our financial ener gies should. operate to the great benefit of agriculture,-commerce and the man ufacturing. Industries of our coun try. - . ' - i ' -' " " "Our present difficulties do not .ap pear to arise from the scarcity of ac tual money- or bank notes.; There seems to be an ample faupply in the United States and much more can be Issued. For. example, the total of the Aldrich-Vreeland notes throughout the United States available for issue amounts to over a billion two hun dred million dollars while there have actually been shipped to banks only a little over $340,000,000; in the southern states alone there are available about $109,000,000, while there have been shiv ped only between 50,000,000 and 60, 000,000, ... , , "The real difficulty would seem to be one of credit.' Mutual trust and con fidence have been - decreased. As to certain great crops, the demand has temporarily greatly decreased in con sequence of the war and value has left its moorings the cost of produc tion. Ordinarily such a condition would quickly adjust itself. We should see to it that the remedies proposed are not' worse than the disease it self. - - -' . "The United States treasury Is in sound financial condition. t It should be remembered that the reserves to be paid into xthe federal reserve banks will not- reach their maximum until after the expiration of three years. At "the opening;'-however, the reserve banks will begin operations with a paid In capital of about $1,000,000 and reserve deposits of about $250,000,000. "It has been asserted that the as sets of these banks when they be gin operations ' will give only a limited lending power. It should not be for gotten, however, that this lending pow er may be greatly increased by the de posits of public moneys which the secretary of the treasury is author ized to place with the reserve banks. Practically all of the government rev enues could, be deposited and the gov ernment debts paid by check against such deposits. ' One can state , with confidence that the federal reserve sys tem at the outset will increase the lending power of the national and fed eral reserve banks by, some hundreds of million of dollars." . son goes without saying, but the ac tivity of this aged lady to all such up lift movements is the wonder of all her associates.

In Stratford Appeals To All. -, (Special to The, Farmer.) Stratford, Oct. . 14. John C Wilcox -son, the nominee for judge of probate on . the Democratic ' ticket was born in Stratford in 1859. During his early years he attended the public 'schools of the town and after com pleting the. required course went .into the farming business" with his father, which .occupation he is engaged in at the present time. like, his father when a young-man he enrolled in the eDmocrartic party and ever since has been one Of its staunchest supporters. Mr. Wilcoxsori was for years treasurer and secretary f the Stratford fire de partment. A native' son, he is deserv edly popular with his townsmen! Without opposition, or a rival candi date, he was elected tax collector for ill! i J. c wriiOoxsoN four consecutive years. The Progres sive party of Stratford indorsed him for two elections. For several years he was a member of the school board, receiving each time 'that he appeared for the suffrages of his town people, a mOst substantial endorsement.; For the first time in his political ca reerhe was called on at the last elec tion to defend himself against a rival candidate. - Etowj-well the ' people of Stratford valued his past services is attested by the majority . of - 253 votes which he1 received over the Re.publl-f can candidate, Richard J. "Stanton, al though almost all the Republican can didates were, elected.. This surely at-N tests the efficient manner in which Mr. ileoxson hao conducted his office and proves conclusively that the people want him, respective of party affilia tions, to be Judge of probate. Iji every respect Mr. Wilcoxson measures up to, the type of man this important office should be entrusted to and he ie cer? tain, to receive the support of many in dependent electors. . . .
