SALE OF THRIFT STAMPS WILL
BE CONTINUED TO AID NATION

San Francisco. Dec. 3.-Definite
announcement that the government
will continue the sale OF Thrift and
War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings certificates during 1920 was
received here today from the Treas
ury Department by c. A. Farnsworth,
associate director OF the War Loan
organization OF the Twelfth Federal
Reserve District.
II know that this will be pleasing
not only TO hundreds OF able Ameri
cans. who. recognizing the value OF
the governments thrift work, have
given their time and ability In fur
thering IT," said Farnsworth, "but II
will be equally as we'll received by
those who have taken advantage OF
the exceptional opportunity OF saving
offered by the government through
the Thrift and War Savings Stamp
and Treasury Savings Certificate. To
the educators of the west, too, who
have adopted the governments thrift
program in the schools as a valuable
factor in habit forming education, !
am sure that this guarantee OF the
permanency of the War Savings
movement will be gratifying"
In making the announcement, Will
liam Mather Lewis, director or the
Savings Division OF the Treasury De-
partment, said, "The savings move
ment is TO be continued throughout
1920. The 1920 issue OF Thrift and
War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates will be on sale
January /. Monthly sales for 1919
have been showing a steady and
wholesome increase, while the pro-
gress of the thrift movement In the
schools has been gratifying. We are
off to a flying start for 1920 which
promises to be banner year for the
savings movement"

WESTERN STATES TO
SEEK DEVELOPMENT

The Western States Reclamation
Association has been organized az O
result OF the conference held Novem'
bor 2lst and 22nd at Salt Lake City
Representatives from 3 OF the reola.
nation states were present at the
conference which was called for the
purpose of crystallIzing sentiment In
the western states In favor OF some
definite plan OF furtherlng Federal
reclamation. The Association de-
cided to request OF congress an APP
preparation OF $3.50. 100000 TO re-
plenish the reclamation fund. Pro-
vision was made for an executive
committee composed OF one member
from each state TO carry out the
recommendation OF the association.
State Engineer Percy A. cupper was
selected as executive committeeman
from oregon
The first meeting OF the executive
committee was held In Salt Lake city
following the conference. and II IL
proposed TO hold the next meeting ln
Washington, ID. c.. soon after the
convening OF congress.
II is proposed to raise the neces-
ary funds for carrying on the cam
paign by voluntary subscription. Ore
gon's allotment Is $4,000. The Inn
portanee OF this movement to Oregon
can hardly be oyerestimated, Any
substantial addition 10 the U. s.
reclamation fund will not only permit
OF additional construction work by
the Reclamation Service. but will
also greatly stimulate irrigation
under the irrigation district plan,
which is proving so successful in
Oregon. Il is believed that the move
ment will receive the support Of
every irrigation and drainage enter
prise In the State, on account Of its
far reaching effect Even though a
project may not be In a position to
directly receive federal aid, the fact
that the Reclamation Service is In
the field will make It much easier
for such projects TO secure the neces-
sary finances from private sources.
We are undoubtedly entering upon
an era of unprecedented development
along the lines of irrigation and
drainage, and by putting up a united
front will now have an opportunity
of greatly advancing the cause.
II seems that an opportunity is
now being presented whereby Oregon
may be able to secure her full share
of federal development, particularly
II the irrigation interests give whole
hearted support to the movement in
itiated by the Western States Recla-
nation Association at the Salt Lake
City conference.

The wedding of Henry Griffin, one

tion by the fellow club members OF

a coffin and unlifelike dummy placed
therein prepared for a sad farewell,

Some Questions as to Sugar.

Why permit further export of sugar
until American homes are supplied Re
fineries are not allowed to sell to re-
tailers in the United States graduated
sugar refined from Cuba raws, at more
than nine cents a pound. That figure
affords a liberal profit to the refiners
but not so great profit as can be made
by exporting; and the United States
pays out to the refiners approximate
IN one cent a pound on every pound
Of Cuban sugar refined here and ex-
ported, And why try to replace the
sugar which refiners are rushing ont OF
the country with sugar from Brazil and
elsewhere, which cannot be landed in
the United States at less than IA to Is
cents pound? Why not keep here the
sugar that is here and the further sup
plies constantly coming from Cuba in
large shiploads?
II an embargo against sugar exports
is not laid, and soon, the profteers will
accomplish their announced purpose of
more than doubling the cost of sugar
in every American home, and will do it
So eleyerIy as to avoid being jailed.
All the time refined sugar is being
rushed ont Of the country in shiploads
miollions Of pounds a week, And all
the while American housewives are de.
MED the privilege of buying what sug-
ar they need. Is it not quite time to
call a halt-a decided halt-on the ex-
porting SO disastrous to American
homes and so expensive to the United
States goyernment?--Boston Tran

A Trolleyless Town.

Toledo tried the experiment of fore
ing its street car system to fix the
amount Of fares to be paid as the PEG
pie wanted them to be and to-day is
the laughing stock Of the entire United
States In addition to this, its citi-
zens placed themselves in the ludicrous
position of doing their utmost to undo
what they had done when they pre-
pared to order the cars from the streets
because of the fare charged. Toledo
woke up to find itself without street
cars the day after this peculiar action
on the part of the voters. II was a
staggering Notwithstanding that
not even the best minds among those
who worked out this scheme to force
lower fares had dreamed Of.
But there were bright minds in the
Toledo Railways & Light company
They were astute enough to know that
the best thing to do was to take the
people at their word and before any
further action could be begun spirit the
trolley cars out of the city This they
did The cars were taken into Michi-
gan and stored on side tracks. Tole-
dos population discovered that 1t was
walk" or ''jitney," and the street car
company boldly announced that the
cars were not to be operated in Toledo
until permanent settlement had been
reached or been assured. Not even the
interurban cars were permitted to enter
the city limits, the company turning
them back when they reached the out
skirts
This is not a joke, nor bit of opera
bouffe, but a concrete example of a
yexing problem in this country. The
street car systems of Toledo and Of
other cities are hard put to it to make
ends meet. Consequently, when the
people had determined on the course
indicated, the Toledo company felt that
it might just as well take the bull by
the horns and bring to an end its GER
tain financial loss under an impossible
rate Of fare.--Ncw York Commercial.

begin at 7 o'clock Friday morning, The
strike was called by George 0. Johnson,
district president of the United Mine
Workers of America, because of allie

chief grievance of the miners was with
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company
largest producer in the state, which an
nounced recently that all men would be
taken back except those active in pro-
noting the recent strike.
Company officials stated that union
men were not refused employment be-
cause of union affiliations but because
of alleged connections with the Indus
