Paris, Sept. 26.-(Special Cable to
The Bee.)-Americans are manifest
ing considerable interest in French
shoes. The short vamp, rather
fancy footwear which the chic Par
isienne has effected for several sea-
sons found scant favor among the
Americans until this season. Many
such shoes are now being imported
with the result that French women
are beginning to wear long vamps.
Owing to the enormous demand
for French shoes from the South
American countries, Paris always
centrives to have shoes that are
the opposite in cut to those worn
in America. This is because South
America always follows the French
lead and it would not be CONNER
cially wise not to change when
America, much nearer market can
supply the same style. Vamp
lengths influence skirt lengths, and
long vamp is the forerunner of a
longer skirt for Paris, while the
short vamp now introduced in
America argues for a shorter skirt.

The Mill and Elevator Association, in charge of the leagues wheat marketing and distribution system, has been inspect ing mills and elevators with a view to purchasing two or three to start the experiment. The state is not ex- pected to start an expensive building program for several months.
 Those directing the work express confidence that every phase of the program will meet with success, des- pite strong opposition which they say is being offered by league opponents.

 COMMUNISM IN N0RTHDAKOTA

FARGO, N. D., Aug. (Corres- pondence of Associated Press) The industrial program of the National Non-partisan League, which was en- dOrsed by the voters of North Da- kota at special referendum election on June 26, is being put into opera tion.
 The Bank of North Dakota, in which all state, county and municipal funds are to be deposited under the new laws, is in operation, but is not yet ready to make loans and handle deposits on big scale.
 The bank now employs twenty per sons, with an annual payroll of $50,- 900. The banks resources will be more than $31,0O0,OO0. Public funds totalling $21,0O0,0OO have been re- ported, and there are state bonds of $10,000,000. Only about $100,OO0 worth of bank bonds have been sold in the state, but bank officials ex- plain this by saying investors held off pending the outcome of the refer endum. The bank had planned to sell $500,000 worth of bonds.
 When the institution is in full oper ation a statement similar to those from the Federal Reserve banks will be issued monthly, outlining condi- tions over the state. J. R. Waters, formerly state bank examiner, is head of the bank, and F. w. Cathro, for thirty years a North Dakota banker, is director general.
 The bank will provide funds for carrying out the industrial program,

GOVERNORS
ASKED TO
Aid U. S.
State Executives To Make
Christmas Gift Savings
Appeal.

Governors Of all the states In the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District
have been asked by the Federal
Government to appeal TO the citizens
of their respective states to give
United States securities. such as War
Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings
Certificates as Christmas presents this
year. Governor John u. Calkins OF
the San Francisco Federal Reserve
Bank has also asked the mayors OF
the larger cities Of the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve District to issue similar
proclanations.
In its War Savings Christmas cam
paign the Government hopes to kill
three birds with one stone:
First: To start the habit of saw
ing among as many individuals as
possible,
Second: BY cutting down the de-
mand for Injuries. under which
Christmas presents may be classed as
a rule. to reduce prices. and,
Third: To raise the Twelfth Dis
trict's War Savings quota for 1919,
subscriptions to which are far behind
the figure set last January.
Not only has the Government ap
pealed to governors and mayors, but
similar appeals have gone to al
banks In the district and to clergy
men of all denominations. Owing t.
the general unrest, of which the Gov
eminent feels high prices is one OF thu
causes. the appeal is being made on thu
thesis that thrift il q mark of sount

TYPICAL OF GOLDEN WEST
Little Montana Town Of Willow Creek
Has Something Of Which East
Cannot Boast.

Willow Creek is the ordinary name
OF an ordinary small town in Montana.
Bear Creek. Roundup and Sioux Pass
have more of the Western flavor, but
Willow Creek is typical little West
ern town in spite of its name. 1t Is
so In the midst of vast tract of clean
prairie land that 1t cannot be measured
by the yard-wide rule Of cities. In
the distance towering mountains keep
paternal watch over 1t.
Even when the early morning rists
hide the mountains and prairies, VIII
low Creek stands out spunkily-a def
mite spot on the landscape. The sta
ton near the railroad tracks is very
small, quite square and very red. Lux.
uriant groves Of trees fill the spaces
between the pretty little white, frame
houses. A road that looks clean
swept shows to all corners straight
and narrow way ranchward. Several
large willows dip their fingers in the
current Of the little creek that runs
behind the white houses.
As the train from the west stops {
few minutes at Willow Greek, in tn,
early dawn, a middle-aged man swings
OF and starts down the road at goot
pace. One would know him anywher,
for mining man.
The metropolitan doing the transcon
tinental trip may smile at little Willow

SoVSAhSi Sohh C' SoihAho Va ehS
Federal Reserve Bank. which Is the
financial agent Of the United States
Government In the Twelfth Federal
Reserve District, has written letter
to every bank and trust company in
the district calling upon them to use
every means within their power to
induce the people to buy War Savings
Stamps and Treasury Savings Certif-
Gates for Christmas presents this year.
1t Is the hope of the Governor that
the people of the Twelfth District, in
stead of spending their money for lux
uries to be used as Christmas presents,
will help the Government finance its
war debt of twenty-six billions Of dol
lars by sending War Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates as
gifts to their friends and loved ones.
Demand for War Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates, the
latter in denominations Of 800 and
$1,000, set in last month. The Federal
Reserve Bank shipped $4,000 worth
of Treasury Savings Certificates to
eighteen banks on November 20, this
being the largest days shipment since
the close of the war. The Government
anticipates In the light of the demand
of these eighteen banks for these Sc
curities to meet the holiday trade, that
the seventeen hundred banks in the
district will purchase more than a
quarter of million dollars worth OF
the Governments paper. Increased
call for War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates. and
even Thrift Stamps has come In from
all postoffices in the west In order
that postmasters may have on HAND
sufficient supplies to meet the public
| demand.
The Governments holiday slogan
"Give War Savings Stamp or {
Treasury Savings Certificate for Christ
mas" IL elaborated in Governor Calk
ms letter. which follows:
1.-THE Christmas holidays are almos
upon US. Everything points to
tremendous outlay Of money In tn
purchase Of holiday gifts. the create
portion Of which think am safe II
saying will be luxuries. The presen
situation demands not that NOR
money be spent in the purchase of lux
uries, but that we curtail as much a
possible, with the consequent beneficial
contraction of credit.
Therefore, appeal to you AZ fe
low banker to do everything With
your power to stimulate the purchas
and giving of War Savings Stamps an
Treasury Savings Certificates as Chris
] mas presents in place of the usus
needless and expensive gifts. 1t seem
