Entered at lh e postoffice in Decatur, THE NEW BANKING BILL The administration banking bill fairly meets the fundamental conditions of sound bank reform. It concentrates bank reserves and makes such reserves legally available in a pinch—as they should be. It makes commercial paper a strictly liquid asset by authorizing tile Federal reserve institutions to rediscount it at all times and to draw u|>on the credit of the government if necesary for that purpose. This feature does away with tile present dependence of city banks upon stock-exchange loans for secondary reserve, and will tend to make money cheaper for legitimate business , purposes; also, it insures against any | such collapses of credit as occurred in 1893 and 1907. The bill recognizes the indutiable fact that pajier arising out of legitimate commercial transactions is the soundest basis for credit currency. It knits tlie banks, more closely together and put the treasury into a rational relationship with them. | The chief difference between this bill and tlie Aldrich plan is, not tiiat the bill confers broader functions upon the district or regional reserve institutions but that it places control over' the banking system in a different quarter. Broadly speaking, the new, machinery the Aldrich plan proposed j fcr the purpose of knitting tlie banks I together and to the government would be largely controlled by the bank's themselves, while the new machinery this bill proposes for the same purjose will be controlled almost wholly by the government. Under the Aldrich plan the banks themselves might injuriously inflate or contract credit. Under the administration plan a board, seven of whose nine members are appointed by the president. might do the same thing. There is tiie chief difference. We have no doubt that the administration bill, if substantially enacted into law, will effect a very beneficial banking reform —Saturday Evening Post.

’' prevent it still no one wanted to see 11 -a tangle that meants years of war- I fare, loss of life and the expenditure I ol millions of dollars—and then alone ’ comes the president with the recoin- : mendatlon that we simply cut off the : supply of arms from the United States, and to notify them that both I factions are to lay down arms until a ) new government is put on foot s through the medium of a popular elec-! I. tion. Men of authority believe it will! 1 i solve the problem and the people be-: , i iieve it because the president is right on about every proposition he works . , outMonroe street has been paved to the city limits and those who have inspected it say it is the best street in i the city.

PICTURE snows Are Attended by One-Sixth of the Population of the United States. TEST IN CLEVELAND This is for Week Days While the Sunday Record is Over One-third. In the August American Magazine. i| in the department called "The Inter- i preter's House, 1 ' appears an interesting account of a thorough Investigation of the moving-picture business recently made in Cleveland. Ohio. Tlie tollowing extract presents some im portant facts showing the general trend of the business: “There are in Cleveland, vine hunderd and thirty-one movies, with a seating capacity of 62,142. The statistics of attendance are interesting. I During the one-round tour of the inves-1 tigation 8.245 children were counted, and over half of them, or 4,290. were ; unaccompanied. About 115,000 people —men. women and children —daily attend the motion pictures,—one-sixth ot the imputation of Cleveland. This is for week days, and counts all performances. afternoon and evening. There is no way of estimating the ’repeaters.’ On Sundays and holidays I about 200,000, or one-third the total population, attend. A Jpsidence canvass of ten families in fifteen different neighborhoods showed that on tn average over half of all the families visited picture shows more than once a week And when you think that Cleveland figures are probably pretty representative for the whole United States, is gives you an idea, of the immense patronage of these places and the immense influence and opportunity they have." o CONTROLLING PLANT LICE. Plant lice are now becoming common on many garden and ornamental plants, as well as on some trees. They may usually be found on the under sides of the leaves, or on the tender stems, and attention is often first called to their presence by the finding of numbers of ants running on the plants On account of its feeding habits, only contact poisons may be used for the control of this |<est Then- are two of those that are quite successful 1 he more convenient and the easier one to use is a tobacco spray, of which there are several commercial brands on the market, or if it is desired, a solution can be made up by steeping tobacco stems and other cigar factory refuse in water at the rate of one pound of the stems to from one to two gallons of water. This should la- sprayed onto the plants without diluting, *but ail of tin- commercial tobacco sprays should be diluted according to the directions given on the container. The other standard insecticle lor plant Hee is kerosene emulsion This it made by dissolving half a pound cf hard soap in a. gallon of boiling water, and adding this soapsuds to two gallons of kerosene or coal oil

The agitation « may best be accomplished by forcing i? the liquid through the spray and back I ■ into the container. This emulsion I should be diluted at the rate of one 1 gallon of emulsion to from 10 to 15 I gallons of water, depending on tin- ! hardiness of the plant. <1 Care should always be taken to cot- £ er all of the plant with the spray, as 1 it can be effective only when it hits j the insect. Where city water pres- i sure is available, a strong stream I i turned on the plant will often knock ! most of the little bugs off onto the ■ ground and by repeating this frequent-: J ly they can be almost completely con- • troth d.

Tlie saloon must go. Indiana must be free from the reign of rum. | lhe Anti-Saloon League is the most I feared and hated by the liquor interests of any and all movements which they have ever encountered. The reason for this is, the league has fed- I erated the great masses of the reli- . I gious and moral forces of the state in-; tc one harmonious. well-organized I thoroughly disciplined,'fighting army,; determined to destroy the saloon. "The League's representatives are; today going over the state, rallying the temperance hosts everywhere, and are scouring the unification of the righteous, forces of the entire com-: monwealth, under the anti-saloon ban-; ner, to re-enact county option in 1915 and to place Prohibition in the new j constitution of the state.” A NEW DOGMA. That Os Assumption Os Virgin M.-.ry May Be Declared. Rome, July- 24 From high Vatican sources it was today learned that Popo Plus is taking active steps for tli • ( j ioclamation in the very near future, as part of the fundamental dogma of . J the Catholic church, the do trine of I ( the assumption of the Virgin Mary. . It would be the first proclamation of . this kind marie since that whir h estab- < liehod the infalihility of th- pontiff-, i in 1879. Barring this tatter exception. , it would also be the first dogma pro- a claimed since, as has been stated, in • 1854, when Pope Pins XI, just begin- | ning his pontificate, proclaimed the dogma of the immaculate conception ' ot the Virgin. This also was im- ’ mediately affirmed by the entire Cath- , olic world. The feast of the assumption of the Virgin Mary is now set down in the Catholic calendar of established feast days for Aug. 15. It is on this (lay. it is now believed that Pope Pius will make his )>ror tarnation. Aside from the appropriateness of the occasion. ‘he pontiff himself is declared to have ad mltted recently that, he fears his own life may not continue much longer ami he desires to t arry out In person this contemplated act of bls pohtlflelite before it Is too late. —Fort j Wayne News.
