THE BEE: OMAHA', THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30,' 1920. Reserve Board Unable to Give v Farmers Credit Finances for Agricultural Dis tricts Must Come From Small Banks, Officials ay Clubs Asked Move- A concerted movement by com- mrcial clubs throughout Nebraska and South Dakota to obtain credit extension for farmers through the Federal Reserve board will meet with little success in the opinion of L. H. Earhart, manager of the Federal Re tien'e branch here.' i "The Federal Reserve system can not deal directly with the jhiblic, but can only rediscount for banks which are members of the system," Man ager Karhart explained. "The mat ter i up to the small banks en tirely." .. V. P. G. Harding, governor of the Federal Reserve board, supports Manager Earhart's opinion in a let ter to the Farmers and Business Men's league of Geddes, S. D., ac cording to dispatches from there. His letter, in part, is as follows: v "For the past week a number ot letters and telegrams have been coming to the board from individuals .....I . I- 1 1' f . 1 . . mi4 irauc douics , 01 norineasiern Nebraska. In manvof thtfm the k ; . ,1 ( . J . t . I . . wu is uikcu w ucciare mat an emergency now exists' and 'to ar range for credit extension to farm ers.' Such a declaration by the board would, in its opinion, be liable to cause a real emergency and would accentuate the distress instead of re lieving it. ' "Neither the board nor the Federal Reserve banks undertake to direct the credit policies of the member banks; this rests with the directors of each institution, and, qt course, the Federal Reserve system has no control whatever over the credits of ron-member banks. t . " "The Federal Reserve board has . not insisted that farmers sacrifice their products or that they adept any particular policy. , The . board regrets the temporary embarrass- ments confronting the agricultural interests of the country but does not believe that these conditions have , been brought about by any acts or 'policies of the board or of the sys tem. On the other hand the (board does believe that, but for precaution ary feasures taken several months ago, conditions would have been far worse today than they are and, the prospects for stabilization and re covery more remote." ' -., 250 Youths Initiated In Omaha Chapter of "Order of De Molay Omaha Chapter of the Order of De Molay initiated 250 youths at the Scottish Rite 'cathedral Tuesday. This brings the total membership of the chapter up to 500.

The membership is confined to youths irom 16 to 20 and is strict ' ly a fraternity, but Master Masons nav attend the meetings. Master Counsellor George C. Par dee, 18, and his staff of 20 officers, exemplified Tuesday the work, which began at 8 in the morning and con tinued to 10:30 at night. Five hun dred visi'ing Master Masons were impressed with the work. A ban quet and luncheon was served by the .Scottish Rite Women's1 club. Court Gives Divorced Man Right to See Daughters In April, 1901. Mallory Morgan placed a want ad in Omaha papers ' expressing a desire to meet a "lady matrimonially inclined." He mar ried one of the women who answered this ad, but in 1909 she obtained a divorce. Two years later she mar ried Ros Reigel, a Benson grocer. . On Christmas day Mr. Morgan called at his former wife's new home to see his two daughters. He said he was refused admittance. District court gave Mr. Morgan yesterday the privilege of seeing his daughters once a month. Mayor Refuses Positively To Stand for Re-Election . Mayor Ed.

MABEL f- Dog Hill Paragrafs 'By George Bingham Clab Hancock, who has been try ing to get hisname in print for the past several weeks, has presented the editor of the Tidings with a bushel of turnips. 4 Sile Kildew, who joined the church at the protracted meeting last summer, stopped in at a dance on Musket Ridge Saturday night and lost control of bqth feet. Cricket Hicks was aiming to go sometwhere last Sunday but during the week he got busy and forgot all about taking his collar to the laun dry. ' WHY- Does "A-l" Mean "First-Class?" Unlike many, slang terms, coined from mispronunciation or bornN in the attempt to be terse and rapid in one's speech, "A-l" has an ancestry which is distinguished indeed, being nothing less than the scale of rating used by Lloyd's Register' of Shin- ping. Here, the higher classes of ves sels are marked "A" and the figure I -tollowing the . class letter shows that the equipment is 'complete and efficient. "A-l", therefore, is a logical and descriptive synonym for first class" or "excellent" Its use was naturally confined at first to sailors, but that it crept, into the colloquial language of the masses a number of years ago, is apparent Irom the fact thatShirlcy Brooks, m "The Guar dian Knot," has one of his charac ters say: "She is A-l in fact, the aye wunnest girl I ever saw." 1 It is interesting toj note that the French have., a similar expression, "C'est un homme marque a rA" "He is a man marked with an A." This is not derived from the same sourse as the 'English stang phrase, but from the fact that money coined in Paris was formerly stamped with an "A.". Copyright. 1920, Wheeler Syndicate. Inc. Boy Sells His New Sled To Help Starving Tots Gail Irvine, small son of William Irvine, 5108 Marcy street, read how Hans Anderson, poorhouse inmate, gave $5 to the European relief fund. He then decided to sell his shiny new sled and give the proceeds to the same fund. At Seventeenth . and Farnam streets he found a purchaser in Miss Mabel Grete of the "Honey Girl" show at the Brandcis. Miss Grete not only give Gail $5 for the sled but permitted him to "keep it for her." ' Treat 200 Patients More than 200 women have been treated in the city hospital for women during the year.

Advertisement .ommon Sense By J. J. MUNDY. j Working Hard in a Circle? It is not how hard you work, but what yu accomplish which interests the manager. Ambition alone will never make you invaluable to your firm. Your thought and your work must be reliable and dependable. Plunging ahead may do more dam age than service, and no business house wants thoughtless, clumsy bungling, even though speedy. , A slow, dependable, well-balanced man is worth far more than the fast worker who makes constant and costly mistakes. Think faster than you work, look and think ahead planning system atically and logically your moves in the right order. If you are erratic and another man must be paid to superintend or su pervise what you do you are not worth more than the commonest kind of help. , . Be able, to do your work so well that you can take the place of two interior men you can do it if necessary, but in any case prepare to be the high-priced man yourself. Employers are looking for men of good, reliable character in their work men of thought and judgment enough to start things slowly and then speed up gradually and unerr ingly, v v" Copyright,. 1920, - International Feature I .

Jewel, Flower, Color Symbols for Today Today's talismanic gem is the emerald, which, on this date is said to have the power of bringing youth ful ambition and reawakened love to those beyond middle age. The topaz is today's natal srone, and was believed by the ancients to have the power of driving away evil spirits, also of liberating its wearer from the effects of useless fears. - t Green is today's color, and there is a legend which tells us that one who wears green today will experi ence an unexpected and 'pleasant meeting with a friend. Today's flower is the mignonette, which brings to its wearer peace end happiness. Where It Started File-Cutting Machinery Though the operation of making teeth on a file with a chisel would seem to be especially adapted for machinery, it took years of experi ment and careful work before a practical machine was made. Duve ger, in 1699, made the first file-cutting machine; but the hand-made file continued to be better till 1865, when W. T. Nicholson, of Provi dence, R. I., made a practical and successful machine. . ( Copyright, 1920, By The Wheeler Syndi cate, inc. for INFANTS & UIVAUDS ASK FOR llorlick's The Original Atom!
