Do you realize the summer is nearly over, that school will open in two weeks, that it's time to begin tothink about the full and winter plans? It's been a delightful summer and indications are for a real autumn and an old fashioned winter. Govern yourselves iccorilingly. Airiglit, another week, let's go. We heard one of the mangaers of u local manufactory make the statement the other evening that Decatur is twentyfive per cent belter than any other town he knows of and thirty-five per cent better than the average town of city for prosperous conditions. The reason is that wc have been putting more snap into things. And it pays. The National Republican Constructive League lias been organized. The promoter is Mr Lockwood of Muncle and Washington. ' They did the job at the. Columbia club at Indianapolis with James K. Watson as the headline speaker. After Carefully considering things from the New Bevur-idgo-Goodrlge-Watson-Jackson angles, we have come to the conclusion that tills is a smooth piece of political strategy for Mr. Watson. We. believe lliere will be a number of new homes erected here the next year. For a long time wc have been behind in that part of the program but now every house is filled and wc must have more homes i fwo are to continue to grow. With arrangements being made so you cun finance your building of improvement there is no reason why you should delay. Help make this a better city and one sure way to do it is aid in the building program The Elkhart County Fair this year ! promises to excel last year's effort by a good, wide margin, which will be going some. No fair thus far held in Ibis section of the state has come even close to providing the entertainment and educational features that , are in store for those who attend the big agraiculturul and industrial show Secretary Williamson and his corps of assistants are preparing to stage ( next month. It will be a gala time i for those present, an event that no interested person can afford to miss. 1 •Goshen News-Times The Elkhart i i'i uuder the same management as the Northern Indium fair to be bebj , here beginning September 15th and 3 practically the same displays will be found at each place.

■ rEDERALRESERVE HELPSjARMERS How Its Aid to England's Return to a Gold Standard Benefits American Agriculture. • By M. A. TRAYLOR Second Vice Preaident American Bankers AMOclation. There has been no more important event for the Americas farmer and •lock man since the Anni»tice than the recent return of t Great Britain to at gold standard. It creme a tong dlstauce from the Montana farm to tho gold vaults of tho Bank of England, but the price tho farmer gets for his wheat and cattle doM. A. Traylor P« B ds not a little that gold. The farmer sells his wheat to the elevator man and yet the real buyer, in many cases, is an Englishman, a Frenchman, a German, or an Italian. Abont one-third of the wheat crop Is usually sold abroad and this part Is a large factor In fixing the price of the entire crop. Between the farmer and the foreign hnycr there are many steps. In recent years the most important ?tep has been that at whieb the foreign buyer has to pay the American exporter, for the international mechanism of payment has been badly out of order because Europe was off the gold standard. It was Just as though an English buyer drove up to yonr farm house, bargained for your wheat and drew up tbe contract. But, when you discussed payment, he said: Tm sorry T haven’t any good United States money to pay you with: I'll have to pay you In my English paper money, which isn't worth Us face value in gold. I don’t know what it may he worth next week, but that Is your risk.” A Deadly Foe of Trade How many would be willing to sign contracts on this basis? Yet that is the way most of the world's trade has had to be carried on sines the Armistice. In practically all countries ex rept the United States the currencies hare had no fixed value in gold, but have changed in value from day to day. Whenever one country sold anything to another country, somebody had to taka the risk of loss because i the value of the money might change before payment was made, fiueh tin I certainty of payment Is a deadly foe of trade, and people were afraid to do any larger inteniational business than they had to. Kiports of food stuffs from the United States fell from two and a half billion dollars in 1919 to eight hundred millions in 1953, and the difficulties of European buyers in making satisfactory payment for American farm prodnets was one of the large factors in the drop in the prices of farm products. But now the recent action of Great Britain in declaring 'that it will again redeem Its paper money in gold means that British buyers of American products can pay for them with money which is accepted tbp world over at its fare value in gold. With tbe return of Great Britain to the gold standard, a majority of the countries of Europe have paper currencies equal to gold. How Reserve Banks Helped

American bankers have assisted in the British return to the gold standard bv giving » jinn non, opo credit ic tha British government. But more important than this was the action of the Federal Reserve Banks in granting the Bank of England material eo-opera-tion. They placed 1200,000,fiOfi gold at. the disposal of the Bank of England for two years, to be used by it, if nee essary, in maintaining the gold standard. The readiness of the Reserve Banks thus to co-operate was an important influence in the willingness of the British to take this all Important atep. This action of the Reserve Banks was a most constructive step in aid of American farmers and producer* who will benedlt greatly by the removal of this element of uncertainty from their export transactions. If allthe sins of omission and commission charged agalntu the Federal Reserve System by banker, business man, live stock man 6f political blatherskite in the list Uve year* were true, and practically none 'of them are, the service rendered commerce and industry 1 by the System in connection with the restOngUOn of the gold standard in so large a part of the *orld would, far outweigh any mistakes that those in charge of the System may have made. No banker, business man or farmer should permit any self serving declaf* ation by favor-seeking demagogue to swerve him from a determination to see that the System is maintained for the future welfare of the country. Fundamentally conditions are very sound and we are doing a wery large volume of business, no little part of which is due to the equalizing and stabilizing effect exercised by the Fed eral Reserve System on the credits of the country. Throughout all the stress of the last five years there have been no times of either stringency or plethora of bank credit Rates hate run along on a rather level keel and in my Judgment h#ve had much to do with the stable volume of business which we have enjoyed, and which ia quite contrary to the old experience of the aftermath of panics. With a credit structure such as only the Federal fteserri System can gotfantee, I fee! we need havt so apprehension but es the contrary sound optimism far tha future. ,
