A fixed determination to have currency legislation passed at this session of congress was accepted by the members of the house and senate as President Wilson's text of the currency message, which he personally presented today in congress assembled in join session in the house chambers. The Democrats and Republicans saw- in the carefully worded appeal of the president an earnest conviction that the money situation must be dealt with before congress adjourns.

Preparations were made to begin committee work on the administration bill, which will soon be introduced in the house by Representative Carter Glass and in the senate by Senator Owens. From the rostrum of the house chamber the president in carefully mod ulated tones that carried his words to every corner of the chamber read the brief message he had prepared. Crowded galleries, cabinet officials, senators and representatives, Democrats and Republicans, sat in a tense silence as the president, with forceful earnestness, told them his views. Boiled down the president's currency message follows: Twelve federal reserve districts and a central bank for each. The number will be increased when necessary.

Banks of each district will hold stock in the reserve of that district. National banks will be compelled to be members. Optional to state banks and trust companies. Capital of each federal reserve bank to be 20 per cent of the capital of the stockholding banks. One-half to be paid in; one-half to be subject to call National banks to be allowed to continue their note issues as at pres ent.

Each federal reserve bank to issue reserve notes not to exceed they to be liens on the assets; they not to be counted as bank reserves; they not to be used for "inflation;" they not to be legal tender, but receiv able by the government or by every bank in the system, at par without exchange. The federal reserve banks to be in control of a board of seven members, the secretary of the treasury, the sec retary of agriculture and the comp troller of currency to be ex-officio members. The president will appoint four "members, their terms to be six years each after the first board and their salaries to be $10,000 each. The comptroller of currency will receive an increase of $5,000 in salary. This board will absolutely control the currency system of the nation.

Rules are set out for it to dominate the money market of the United States and thus prevent panics. The Leans Put to Sleep.

one of the best known men of Macon, died thi3 morning shortly after 7 o'clock at his home, 604 First street. His death re sulted from cancer of the throat. His wife and immediate family were at his bedside when he breathed his last. The news of his death came as a great shock to his hundreds of friends throughout the city. So vigorous in mind and bodys was Mr.

Weichsel baum up until recentlVi that the an nouncement of his death could hardly be believed. Besides his widow, he is survived by one sen, Theodore Weichselbaum. a father, brother and sister of Kansas, and another sister, Mrs. J. J.

Waxel 1 aum, of Macon. Mr. Weichselbaum came to Macon from Kansas in 1S7S. He attended the public schools here, and later entered with uncle, Sam Weich selbaum. Through his strict honesty and persevering methods, he made a rapid rise among the business men of the city.

During the later years, he has been in the real estate business for himself, and was one of the larg- psr. owners of Macon at tne tim of his death. Nine years ago he married Miss Pearl Wachtel, daughter of Mr. Dave Wachtel. As he owned a considerable amount of property in the neighborhood of Fifth Mid Cherry streets, 3nd was deeply interested in the matter of lo cating the new depot, it is a singular coincidence that Mr.

Weichselbaum'e death should occur on the very day that it was announced that this site will probably be selected. The foregoing is taken from the Macon, Daily News of June 11 Edwin Weichselbaum is a son of Theo dore Weichselbaum, the pioneer store keeper at Ogden, in this county. Thomas Mays, near May Day, in Ri ley county, mysteriously disappeared a few days ago. His motorcycle was found under a bridge near water 8 or 10 feet deep, and at first it was be lieved he had been drowned, but the creek was thoroughly dragged. The motorcycle was damaged and it is be lieved by some that Mays was injured and wandered away, while others believe Mays is the fellow who stole a $290 motorcycle of Carl Bergstrom Sunday night.

It is also measured by the feeling of pride and satisfaction you re ceive from its ownership. In a cheap car the weakness generally shows itself when you are many miles from home unprepared and helpless. In the White built-in strength and endurance prove their experience in thousands and thousands of miles of travel without extra care or- repair.

You surely do not want a car of half way goodness, and if you buy a poor or ordinary car, you can expect only poor or ordinary services in return. An automobile is the poorest thing in the world to save money on, You must pay the right prices for real quaility to be sure of service and satisfaction. The White Car is not the cheapest carf but it certanily is the cheapest car to own. The Wite Car is a guarranteed car one that must make good.
