TWO BENEFITS OF THE NEW BANKING SYSTEM Governor Hamlin of the Fed eral Reserve Board Tells the American Bankers Associa tion Today of Its Immense Advantages. Richmond, V«.—Charles 8. Hamlin, governor of the Federal Reserve Board, told the American Ranker* Association, In convention, here today, that the new hanking system which he hoped soon would he In full opera tion. would prove of Immense advan tage to the country. Oov. Hamlin complimented the hankers on the spirit they have shown In the disturbed financial conditions resulting from the war. but he gave warning that the problema which have arisen should not he so attacked that "the remedies proposed are worse than the disease." Opening Tims Near. He said In part: "The federal reserve banks are quickly the time of open ing and openmen. As soon as cer tain necessary preliminaries have been accomplished, their doors will open for business There Is to he a conference In Washington on Oct 20, st which committees representing the directors of the various reserve banks hanks will he present and It Is hoped that then an authoritative statement may bo made of an early date when the hanks will open. "Many Important questions are now pending before the reserve board. Among these are clearances of checks nnd the definition of eligible commer cial paper. We want light thrown upon them and any suggestions ema nating from your body will he con aclentlously considered. In Foreign Countries. "I want to emphasize the necessity of establishing branches of our na tional banks In foreign countries. Wo have already approved aplicattona for two branches In South America and one on the Ithsmus of lbtnama. Along these lines our financial energies should operate to the great benefit of agriculture, commerce nnd the manu facturing Industries of our country. “Our pTesent difficulties do not ap pear to arise from the scarcity of act ual monoy or hank notes. There seems to bo an ample supply in the United (Rates and much more can lie Issued. For example (he total of Aldrieh-Vree land notes throughout the United State# evalilahle for Issue amounts to over a billion, two hundred million dol lars. While there have actually been shipped to hanks only a little over .140 millions; In the southern elHtes alone there are available about 106.000,(100, while there have been shipped only be tween 50 and #0 millions One Of Credit. "The real difficulty would seem to be one of credit. Mutual trust and Sbnfldence have been disturbed. Ah to certain great crops, the demand has temporarily greatly decreased In con sequence of the war, and value has left lta moorings—the cost of produc tion. Ordinarily such a condition would quickly adjust Itself, We should see to It that the remedies proposed are not worse than the disease Itself. “The United States. treasury Is In sound financial condition. It possess es ample funds of gold and ample pow er \fl Increase the gold reeerve, should It aver be necessary. Not for 3 Yea re. "It ahould tie reSnemhered that the reserves to be paid Into federal reserve hanks will not reach tlielr maximum until after the expiration of three years. At the opening, however, the reserve hanks will begin operations with a paid In capital of about 16 mil lions of dollars end reserve deposits of about $150.000,060 It has been as serted that the assets of these banks when they begin operations will give only a limited iendlng power. It should not be forgotten, however, that this lending power may he greatly In creased by the deposits of public money which the secretary of the treasury Is authorised to place with the reserve hanks. Practically all of the government revenue* could he de • posited and the government debts paid by checks Against such deposits. With Confidsnc*. On* can state with confidence that the federal reserve syetem at the out set will Increase the landing power of the national ami federal reserve hunks by some hundreds of millions of dol lars. “An amendment le now pending In congress under which member hanks may keep all their reserves In the fed eral reserve hank* This will greatly Increase the lending power of the fed eral reserve hanks, thus Increasing their power to cope with thepreeent abnormal conditions."

Annette Kellerman at the Grand Annette KELLERMAN, "the perfect woman," was seen In he wonderful photo spectacle, "Neptune’s Daugh ter," at the Grand yesterday afternoon and last night, and the spectators were universal in their praise of this remarkable picture. Miss Kellerman Is seen In, all her grace and beauty and she Is beyond a doubt a "daughter of the ecu" There 1* probably no other woman who equals her art of swim ming nnd diving. In one scene she 1s seen swimming with both hands and feet bound; In another she subdues a man In a fight for life many fathoms under the sea, where fishes of all description* are seen darting to and fro. The picture was made In the Ber and the reefs of coral are most bonu muda Islands, where the sea, the shore tis ill. as seen In this great production. Mias Ki Herman s acting, In which she displays her skill as a diver, a swimmer, a dancer and a swordswo tnan, Is woven In with a fairy tale which deals with two kings, one of the mortal world and one of the Immortal world. In the oplrdon of the writer, the water feats performed by Miss Kcllerova.il™ espedally her diving were the most wonderful scenes of the play. The picture. In four acts. Is being exhibited by Manager Taut at the Grand for three days ending tomorrow night, and the regular "'Acme” prices prevail, with seats reserved at night. Coming Acm* Plays.

THE WAYS OF THRIFT (Copyrighted, 1914, American Society for Thrift.) STORAGE FOR CITY DWELLERS# The poMlbilittiefl for city people, those living in flats and «partitionts, to adopt Hie old-fashioned plan of storing in the autumn a supply of fruits and vege tables for the winter's us© has had an Interesting test. The test showed that It !h profitable and feasible. In Philadelphia the Real Estate Board notified the American Society for Thrift that it would actively co-operate in encouraging tenants to adopt the sub stitute for the thrifty home cellar. The Real Lstate "Ihnrd of New York also considered the proposal favorably es a means for the landlords to help their tenants. The test of the make-shift for the home cellar was made by the editor of a New York Produce Journal according to James 11. Collins in an interesting article in jt)i« Country Gentleman, "The Thrift Home Cedar," August 22, reprint copies which will be suppUed free by the American Society for Thrift through the courtesy of the Curtis Publishing Company. Mr. Collins related the fol lowing. "Last fall the editor of a New York produce journal made a private investi gation of the cost of living. lie want ed to find out who was responsible for the great differnece between the prices paid growers tor produce and those charged city Consumers.

"This editor conducted an experi ment. Half a dozen families were se lected among his acquaintances living In New York, Brooklyn and a large suburban town, all apartment dwellers who bought provisions in small quanti ties. "Country people, who live in real houses, with plenty of room in cellar, attic and barns, do not always realize how restricted is space in a city apart ment. Each room is figured at a rent of ton dollars and upward a month, folding furniture is necessary so that living room by day may be turned into sleeping room at night. The kitchen is laid out as snugly as a cabin on ship board, with no room to stow anything outside of the ice box or small cup boards.

GA. BANKERS PARTICIPATE IN POOL Atlanta.—Georgia bankers at a meeting held here today decided to participate in the $150,000,000 cotton pool suggested by Festus J. Wade, at a recent meeting of bankers and busi ness men In Bt. Louis, by which It Is planned to retire five million balas from the market.

The money will be lent to growers upon their cotton bb se curity valued at six cents per pound for one year at seven per cent. FAIL TO CRUSH LEFT OF ALLIES London, 4:18 A. M.—ln a despatch dated Monday the Daily Mail's cor respondent in northern Prance Bays: "The great German plan to hold the Department of Pas de Calais and deliver a crushing blow to the allies left wing has failed this far. Tester day our armies drove the enemy still farther back. "The German army which extended from Turcolng to Armentleres and was forced from its position last Tues day has again met with heavy defeat and been beaten back northward. "The battle which has been raging at Intervals near Arars blazed out again yesterday and once more we forced the Germans back to the east and north. The German losses are said to be heavy. What Would You Do? There are many times when one man questions another's actions and motive# Men act differently under different clreumstances. The question is. what would you do right now if you had a severe cold? Could you do better than to take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy? It is highly recom mended by people who have used it for years and know its value. Mrs. O. R Sargent, Peru, Ind., says. “Cham berlain’s Cough Remedy is worth its weight in gold and I take pleasure in recommending it.” For sale by all dealers. TIM’S BY RIGHT OF DISCOVERY. There are times when differences in ranks do not count, and an Irish soldier who was In one of our wars chanced upon one of them. It was a time when Tim should have been In active service that he was discovered by his sergeant in a hole, well out of the way of even a stray bullet. “Get out of that hole!" commanded the sergeant sternly, "Get out of it immediately!" The usually good-natured Irish face looked up at him with stubborn resistance written on every feature. “You may be me superior officer." he answered boldly, "but all the same, Ol’m the one that found this hole first.’—National Monthly. THE WHITE FOLKS CANDIDATE. An old darkey wa* standing on th# street corner of an Arkansas town talking politics during th* presiden tial campaign of I*l2.

THEATRICAf Notes ot Interest |j j Annette Kellermann in ‘‘Neptune's Daughter.” Annette Keilerrnann In "Neptune's Daughter,” one of the most successful picture plays ever presented In Au gusta, will be seen at the Grand again today and tomorrow. This remark able photo-play with its scenes afloat and ashore gives Miss Kellermann un limited scope to display her unques tioned ability as a swimmer and diver, and has attracted large audiences wherever risplayed. The scene showing Miss Kellermann hurled from a 65 foot cliff into the water, bound hand and foot, is one of the many stirring scenes with which this photo-play abounds. Bermuda wifn its sunshine and its flowers affords a splendid scenic environment to this Interesting novelty. Besides the evening performances, matinees are given daily. “Mutt and Jeff.” With a sensational melo-dramatic story under the title of "Mutt and Jeff In Mexico,” Gus Hill's perennial success of that name, re-appears "spick and span,” everything new but the buttons, to clean up the coin again as it has done for the past two years. The irrepressible “Gus” has evidently kept “tabs” on every line, thrill, laugh, song and situation during his entire “nearly a century” of theatrical ex perience. It seems that this season's "Mutt and Jeff in Mexico” contains nothing but the real essence of true amusement without a hitch or a line that does not go over in great shape. There's catchy, whistleble music, a laugh to evetjj- breath, a song hit or an entrancing dance number, whenever your sides begin to ache from exces sive laughter and a bunch of exceed ingly pretty girls to give the whole thing zest. There you have "In Mexi co.” To say It is a hit, is putting it altogether too mildly. It’s a riot! "Mutt and Jeff comes to the Grand Friday, matinee and evening. Special prices to both performances. “Peg O’ My Heart.” “Peg O’ My Heart,” one of the best stage stories Oliver Morosco has sent this way, is again to be with us for two days, next Monday and Tuesday, at the Grand, with special Tuesday matinee, and so well was the play re ceived here’ that no doubt many wjll enjoy It for the second time. J. Hart ley Manners, the author, had a hard time to convince producing managers that he had a good play In “Peg," and It was left to Oliver Morosco to prove that he had the courage of his convic tions, that a play can be free from moral lessons and discussions of either capital and labor, or sex questions, and still be a good play, and he proved his opinion correct. “Peg O’ My Heart” has all the elements of a popular suc cess, sentiment, • drama and fun and plenty of the latter. It Is substantial In fibre, consistent In story, strong in interest, fresh and natural no less in the drawing of its characters than in the flow of the dialogue. It came to us last season with a great recommen dation. I’s merits were recognized and indorsed by the most biased critics and playgoers wherever it was presented. This is the one comedy offering that can boast of an uninterrupted run of 604 consecutive performances on the “Gay White Way," and is now in ita sixth month In Chicago, which is the guarantee of Its entertaining qualities. Miss Blanche Hall will again be seen here In the title role with a capable cast. Seats on sale Friday.
