BEDFORD'S WORK
 IN CONSERVING OIL
By HOLLANDN

New York, September ll.-tSpecial,)-No man who is now serving the government in important capacity is working harder. devoting more time and thought and sub jecting himself to greater mental and physical strain than is X. c. Bedford, who, although chairman of the board of the Standard Oil company of New Jer- sel, nevertheless comple;ely subordinates this important responsibility to the work which he is now doing for the govern- ment.
 MT. Bedford was appointed chairman of the national petroleum service commit- tee, and~since that appointment he has been endeavoring in every way possible not only to conserve the oil supply of the United States as war measure, but also so far as possible to increase the produce tion of oil.
 In his office at 26 Broadway. widely known as the headquarters of the Stand- ard Oil companies, Mir Bedford has held meetings with oil producers in which he has empha sized the necessity of so act ing as to eliminate competition between the various oil producers so that there may be protection for the smaller pro- ducers and in the place of competition there may be coordination and cooper ation which will take in the entire oil pro- ouchg business of the United States.
 II traditions are accurate there was a tune when in this very room measures were under consideration whereby sue cessful competition could be maintained and perhaps the smaller industries be brought completely under the control of the great corporations. All that is ended Now, the very thing which several years ago the government denounced as a vio- latlon of the statutes is advocated and practiced by the oil producers of the united States under the leadership of MT Redfnrd

CONVERT LIBERTY BONDS

Holders of 4 per cent bonds of the
first Liberty Loan, converted, and of
the second Liberty Loan should prompt
ly avail themselves of the privilege Of
converting them into Al per cent bonds.
To date only about one sixth of the 4
per cent bonds distributed in this dis
trict have been presented for CONVEX
sion.
These bonds are not convertible after
November 8, even if subsequent series
of bonds should be offered at higher
rate. Therefore, the conversion privi-
lege must be exercised, if at all, on or
before that date, and failure to convert
the per cent bonds described above
will result in a loss to the bond holders
of interest at one quarter of 1 per cent
per annum for the entire unexpired
term of the bond.
