IN MEMORIAM.
dt hath pleased the Lord of life and
death to call from our midst into
eternity the talented and honored
and treasured ember of our organ-
ization, Mr. James Stanton, of Boyn-
ton. The vacancy eccasioned ‘vy his
demise will ever remind us of our
irreparable loss.
To the bereaved wife and children
we convey, individually and collect
ively, our humble and impotent,
though sincere message of coundo-
lence.
Mellow, dulcet, vibrant, clear,
Captivating and persuasive
Music sweet to every ear
Did thy lips evoke at. all times,
Master cornetist!
But thy clarion notes no longer
Make the air resound,
For through death, who proved the
stronger ° or a
Rest thou now hath found.
Requiescat: rest ih peace!
All thy.cares and wees now cease,
Slumber sweetly ; but.arise again
~ When at last through every land
Shall again resound the trumpets
Of the angel band.

SUMMARY OF THE NEW NOTICE TO SUNDAY
BANKING LAW.
After discussing seme of the effects
of the mew banking law with R. H.
Philson, cashier of the Citizens Nat-
ional Bank, at our request he agreed
to summarize the law for the geaders
of The Commercial, which we Delieve
will be helpful to many and for which
we acknowledge our appreeiation.
The new Banking Law as we inter-
pret it will affect the banking institu-
tions of Somerset county, to a very
small degree—as will be the case in
all similar communities where the
banks are so thickly located and their
strength so evident.
The law is a preventation measure,
by this is meant that just as our gov=-
ernment prevents war by being pre-
pared for it with ships and men should
it arise, so under government super-
vision there has been provided the
means to cope with the abnormal
demands of the legitimate business of
any locality—any portion or for that
matter the whole country—and it is
so called one of 1907 could not occur
under the system devised and now
about to be put in practice.
Business depressions. of a lesser
nature arising from natural causes as
drought, etc., cannot be avoided by
law, but a means is at hand whereby
the crops of the middle west, cotton:
in the south and cattle in the south-
west for example that required more
money for short periods than the local
banks of their respective communi:
ties can provide, w representing
actual commercial transactions can
be secured from the Federal Reserve
Bank of their district, and so the sys-
tem prowe of great immediate benefit
to such soctions of our country and
indirectly to all of it by providing for
recognized demands of such localities
at the source before they Widen and
affect the ndtion at large. °
Space will net permit going~into
the matterin detail but in brief the
law provides for the division of the
United States into not less than 8 or
more than 12 districts -on the basis of
commercial ‘or agricultural activity.
One Federal Reserve Bank iin each
district.
These banks to ‘be maeged by the
government and to deal with the peo-
local banks. All national banks are
required to take stock .im the Federal
Reserve banks ‘on the 'bosis of six
percent -of their present capital and
surplus, and keep a. percentage of
their deposits with the Federal intl!
serve bank.
State . banks and Trust i!
are permitted to enter into the same
priveleges by submitting to regular
examinations under the supervision
of the treasury department. . The
final Supervision and managing head
of the 8:12 Reserve banks is vesteu iu
a board appointed first in the following |
manner five med dppointed rom five |
different districts of the United States,
one for 2, one for 4, 6, 8 and 10 years,
respectively and as their terms ex- |
pere their successors for 10 years
thereafter, thus removing the man-
agement from political dictation and |
the five aeting with the secretaries
of the treasury and agriculture con-
stitubir a supreme authority over
the whole system.
Now for its operation—Besides the
capital furnished and d€posits re:
quired of the present national banks
the government will take a portion of
its five hundred million stored away
in the treasury at Washington, say
oné hundred to one hundred and fifty
million and likewise deposit ten to
fifteen million in each of the eight
Reserve banks thus as we stated in
the beginning be able to assist the
respective localities when they need
help, aid the local banks in those par-
ticular sections to help haryest the
grain, get the cqtton picked and
baled and assist in getting both to
their respective markets by discount-
ing a minor portion of the banks
commercial loans of this nature, on
the bank’s endorsement. These loans
are designed for emergencies have a
90 day limit and the provisions are so
drawn that only conditions of such a
nature will be helped.
Furnishing the capital for a eoal
mine, real estate transaction, ete.,
will not be tolerated but only notes
representing commodities of the ac-
tual trade needs of the farmer or
commerce will be considered and ac-
cepted—notes of a nature that in
short periods will be paid by the pro-
duct they represent and the trans-
action closed.
In the past, in times of real stress
and strain the government, no mat-
| ter how willing: was unable to assist
with any portion of the enormous
means at its disposal—the general ac-
ceptance and hearty approval of the
system as finally passed and the
ability of the government now to act
and help through its own agencies
those certain areas of our nation that
do need helps, is, it seems, certain to
give a greater confidence to all
worthy business enterprises and es-
tablish a degree of confidence and
commercial security throughout the
whole nation through the feeling of
preparedness and the satisfying
knowledge that as a worthy need
arises helps is at hand and available
for those particular localities named
