the ability of cold water to thaw frozen ground, and to thaw effectuaIly on bedrock. Otherwise stated, they demonstrate the efficiency of a heat unit which is near the freezing point and available by natural processes The moderate efficiency of hot water and boiler steam and the high eff. ciency of superheated steam are equally shown. Any preference for thawing by cold water rather than by superheated steam must, of course, rest on the ground of economy.
 Success with Cold Water
 During the season of 1918 the cold water method just outlined was used with some important notifications and under different conditions in several operations.
 Pierce and Johnson, in the Candle district, drilled six-inch hole in A feet of muck (no graveD, and intro duced water by a 3A A-inch pipe under a head of 15 feet G pounds pressure). The water entered the ground at 42 degrees Fah., and left at 32 to 34 degrees Fah The time of thaw was seven days, and the diameter of the thawed area eight feet. Steam had been tried under the conditions pre- vailing here and was not satisfactory. Water did the work well.
 The same company used cold water in thawing creek gravels preparatory to dredging. The ground thawed was 12 or 13 feet deep and consisted of four to five feet of clay and muck, four to five feet of gravel and three

IS j. s. APPEAL
Governor Calkins Urges Gov
ernment Securities for Pres
ents Instead of Luxuries

Governor John U. Calkins OF the
San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank
has written a letter to all banks ana
trust companies In the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve District urging them to
promote, wherever possible, the sale
Of War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates for Christmas
presents this year.
The increased demand for these
Government securities, the Treasury
Savings Certificates being similar to
War Savings Stamps in denominations
Of $500 and $1,000, is apparent from
the fact that the Federal Reserve
Bank supplied 360,200 worth OF
Treasury Savings Certificates to eigh-
teen banks In the district on Novem-
Der 20, which is the largest amount
sold in one day since the close OF tie
war. On tho face OF the demand OF
these eighteen banks and the in
creased call for the securities from
all postoffices throughout the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District, 1t would
seem that the Governments holiday
slogan. Give q War Savings Stamp
or a Treasury Savings Certificate for
Christmas" is being followed out,
and the Government is hoping that by
giving War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates for
Christmas gifts the district will close
~ approximate its War Savings quota
for the year.
A portion of Governor Calkins' let
ter follows:
THE Christmas holidays are al
most upon US. Everything points to
a tremendous outlay of money in the
purchase Of holiday gifts, the greater
portion Of which 1 think l am safe in
saying will be luxuries. The present
situation demands not that more
money be spent in the purchase OF
luxuries, but that We curtail as much
as possible, with the consequent bene-
fetal contraction of credit.
Therefore, appeal to you as
fellow banker to do everything within
your power to stimulate the purchase
and giving of War Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates as
Christmas presents in place of the US
ual needless and expensive gifts. 1t
seems to me that the responsibility of
leading mems minds along the ways
OF thrift and simple living rests to a
great extent upon the bankers OF the
country and in asking you to push
the sales Of Treasury securities during
the Christmas holidays, l am asking
you only to take advantage of an op-
! portunity to meet this responsibility" ="
In addition, Christmas posters car
rying an appeal to give War Savings
| Stamps and Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates fer Christnas presents will be
distributed throughout the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District. and all
banks have been asked to include a
similar appeal in their advertising.

Colonel John p Irish, of Oakland,
came to the defense of the Japs at
the meeting of the fruit growers. He
protested against the charges. cast
upon the Japs as to their lmmorality
and dishonesty and argued that IN
stead of vilifying the Jap who works
more attention should be paid to the
white people who will not work or
let other people work. Among other
things he said he was not afraid OF
the Japs, that he was a Caucasian
and an American and believed in the
American spirit That we had a short
age of farm labor extending all over
