Like the garments, these were classed to go back to the fighting troops, or to the stevedores, or 10 the German prisoners.
 It was the same with the infinite variety of army equipment going through the salvage process, rubber boots and arctics, shelter tents, har- ness for artillerey, saddles, brides, stirrups. All of it as on a prodigious scale, 50,000 garments day; l,0OO pairs of rubber boots day at the army price of $2.65 pair. The sav- wage of all kinds of rubber articles as 99 per cent, or almost complete saving of everything received.
 More than a million dollars worth of clothing was saved last month, anc the magnitude of the work as a whole can be judged from these figures o1 the output; Shoes S325, ,120; clothing $1,307,026; harness and leather S57,- 900; rubber $90,000; canvas and web -bing 35,000.

NOTIFY BANKS OF
 BOND CONVERSION

November g is the last date on which the holders of the second issue of Liberty bonds may convert them to the A per cent. bonds and local banks have issued an appeal to their patrons to notify them of their inten- ton to make the conversion before October 1. It may be very difficult to obtain the bonds desired after that date, and those who wish to make the change should notify their banks as soon as possible.
 Final payment on the second issue will be made October 15, just in time to start payment on the fourth loan, which is soon to be projected.
