Regarding fall garden activities

the basis of the past six years, of ad*
ditional earnings that would be dis
bursed -to member banks during the
next six years under two plans intro
duced in bills before the United States
Senate.
“The Fletcher bill provides that
Federal Reserve Bonk ■earnings, after
present ^ per cent dividends to mem-
hers-and completion a 16# per cent
surp!us,^BhetiJd all bo distributed as
extra -dividends to the stockholder
banks,” the report says. “If the earn
ings of each Federal Reserve bank
were distributed among its own mem
bers there would be no extra divi
dends in the Boston, New York, Phila-
adclphia, Cleveland, Chicago and San
Francisco districts during the next
six years, hut the other six FederaK
Reserve Banks would pay annual ex-
trae the following rates: Rfbh’mohd,
6.08 per cent; Atlanta, 4.09 per cent;
SU 3.50 p£r cent; Minneapolis, ‘
cefif; Kansas City, 5.48 per
cent; Dallas, 4.83 per cent.
“If the earrings were pooled and
paid out to all members In all districts
each member would receive an aver
age annual extra dividend of .78 per
cent. Under this plan no franchise
tax as now would be paid by the Fed
eral Reserve Banks to the Federal
Government.
Another Plan Analyzed
“The Glass bill would provide that,
after present 6 per cent dividends,
one-half the remainder should be paid
to member hanks as an extra divi
dend with the residue going to sur
plus and Federal Government as fran
chise t*x. Tho average annual extras
to members would be as follows: Bos
ton District, 2.51 per cent; New York,
.48 per cent;-Philadelphia, 2.05 per
cent; jClevptand, 2.09 per cent; Rich
mond, 3.26 per cent; Atlanta, 4.67 per
cent; Chicago, 3.20 per cent; St. Louis,
2.02 per cent; Minneapolis, 4.75 per
cent; Kansas^ City, 2.74 per cent; Dal
las, 3.31 per cent; San Francisco, 1.87
per cent. |
“If these extra funds were pooled the
result would be an extra average an
nual dividend of 1.73 per cent for each
member. Under this plan the system
would still pay as now an annual fran
chise tax, amounting to $1,941,996 on
the average.”
By way of concrete Instance, the
report says, a member bank having
capital and surplus of $200,000, there
fore holding Federal Reserve Bank
stock amounting to $6,000 on which it
is recelvihg $360 under the present 6
per cent dividend arrangement, would

When the National Tuberculosis
association studied the records of
1,499 patients in' sanitoriums to
find out what caused them to con
sult a physician concerning their
symptoms, it was discovered that
about 57 per cent did not consult
a physician until at least one
month had elapsed from the time
the first symptom appeared. Again
and again physicians wfro are at-
tejnpting to educate the public in
the prevention of disease find,
themselves compelled to repeat the
warning against delay. Many con
ditions controllable if seen in their
earliest stages go on to death in
evitably if they are not taken in
time. By means of pamphlets,
posters, magazine and newspaper
articles, motion pictures, lectures,
radio announcements and every
other means of publicity known,
all the health agencies of this
country have been warning people
to obtain medical attention
promptly on the appearance of any
of the symptoms that may be sig
nificant of tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis may begin in a
wide variety of ways. Cough, ex
pectoration of sputum containing
the germs of tuberculosis, hemorr
hage from the lungs, fever, chills,
night sweats, fatigue and loss of
weight are symptoms known to
every one. By the time these
symptoms appear, however, the
small spot in the lung that is tub
erculosis may already be far ad
vanced. Tuberculosis, like many
other chronic conditions, not inf re- !
quently begins insidiously and de- j
velops gradually. When the pati
ent is questioned, it is found that
he has been feeling tired after
slight effort for some time or that
he has been having a slight cough.
There is loss of strength, Jack of
endurance, loss' of appetite, d# 5 -
dine in weight, increasing nerv- j
«isness, vague pains throughout:

cough, repeated colds and short- ;

Little Talk On Thrift
BEGINNING OF NEW HALF YEAR
PERIOD GOOD TIME FOR PER
SONAL ISTOCK-TAKING
(By S. W. Straus. President Ameri
can Society for. Thrift.) ,
We are at the end of the begin
ning of the last half of the year.
Business organizations at this time
will be checking over their records
to sec what progress, if any, they
have made during the half yearly
period just ended. It is the time
for taking stock; for looking
squarely into facts.
As individuals, we can do the
same thing. What has the half
year meant to us in accomplish
ment and personal upbuilding?
Have we done anything during the
period to improve our earning cap
acity, real or potential? Have we
saved a little out of our earnings
in the interest of fhtutfe opportun
ities or necessities? Have we re
mained steadfast to habits of sen
sible living or have we allowed our
selves to drift into habits of ex
travagance or carelessness in the
preservation of our health? In j
short, dan we write down the past |
half year in terms, of real progress
or, in all truthfulness, must we set
them down in what business calls
“red figures”?
General economic conditions, at
this time are such that it behooves
all of us to make the most of our
time and money. The situation
calls for strict attention to busi-
