HOOVER SPEAKS ON THRIFT
 AND AMERICAN WONEN''

There is a parallel between our present economic condition and that which followed the Civil War: the same conditions of extravaganza and big prices which resulted in a great panic and years of hard times," says Herbert Hoover in an article of help ful hints, Thrift and American Wo- men,, in the Ladies' Home Journal.
 MT. Hoover explains that we may hope to avoid financial disaster which followed the Civil War because we believe our economic position much stronger than it was in those early days:" But he warns that we are confronted "with world conditions of upset" which were unknown half a century ago and he comments:
 "This is not just something for statesmen and professors to worry over but it reaches into the American home and effects every family and every individual"
 Suggesting a remedy for the pre- sent tendency towards extravaganza, MT. Hoover says:
 "It is as imperative today as it was during the war, even more so, that we should practice thrift in all it's forms.
 Every one of us should cut out ex- travagance and waste; We should save every possible five cent piece though it were worth no more than postage stamp; we should put our say ings into banks or into government ol other securities or into homes or farms.
 Money that is wasted is destroy ed, as if cast into fire, and the evil results are not confined to the indiv- idual's waste and his or her family, but are in fact spread throughout society. This is the crime and dam age done by waste"
 MT Hoover admits that it is diff cult and Sometimes almost impossi- ble" to define waste. "Much has been said" writes MT Hoover, land written about silk shirts and silk

LOSS TO BOND HO[D-
 FRS IF DON'T CONVERT
 THEIR LIBERTY BONDS

San Francisco, Calf. - Liberty Bond investors of the Twelfth Fed eral Reserve District holding approx imately $67,OOO,OOO worth of 4It Temporary Bonds are suffering an approximate loss of $167,00 because they have not presented their Fem porary Bonds for conversion into Az % Permanent Bonds, Governor John U. Calkins, of the Federal Re- serve Bank of San Francisco, estimat- ed today. Every effort, Governor Calkins pointed out has been made to inform investors of their interest in the matter.
 Local banks throughout the Twelfth Federal Reserve District who handle the exchange operations for individual investors free of charge have spent thousands of dollars in ad- vertising to spur their clients to eX- change their Temporary Bonds for the Permanent Bonds carrying a higher rate of interest. Despite their eff forts and the fact that the Sect of the Treasury reserves the right to terminate the privilege of converting the 486 Bonds on six months public notice, $67,00O,000 worth of securities remain uneXchanged in this District.
 Although the conversion privilege, has not been withdrawn by the Secrc tary of the Treasurer as yet, and six months public notice of such with drawal will be given before the privi- lege is terminated, to secure the ben eft of 412% from November 15, 1920, holders of 4T6 Second Loan Bonds must present them to any bank for conversion in order that the bank in turn may forward the bonds to reach the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco on or before November IA, 1920. Four per cent Second Loan Bonds received by the Federal Re serve Bank of SanFrancisco Novem- Der 15, 1920. or on or before May IA, 1921 will be converted but the in creased interest rate of one-quarter of one per cent will not become effec- tive until May 15, 1921.
 To secure the benefit of AZ e from December 15, 1920, holders of 4% First Loan Bonds must present them to bank for conversion in order that the bank may forward them to reach the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco on or before December IA, 1920. Four per cent First Loan Bonds received by the Federal Re- serve Bank of San Francisco Decem- Der 15, 1920, or on or before June IA, 1921, will be converted, but the in creased interest rate of one-quarter of one per cent will not become eff fective until June 15, 1921.
 For Temporary 49o bonds present. ed, Permanent 41s96 bonds will be delivered.

stockings. 1 will not condemn the use silk stockings could see the millions of people in Europe who have no stockings at all and indeed no shoes, they would take less satisfaction in the sheen and pattern of their hose" " The article directed attention to in- escapable individual responsibility and sets forth that thrift is first a matter of principle and secondly that there is no chance of our individual effort in the right direction being nullified by the action of others, and adds:
 About one third of our people are responsible for most of the extrava- gance and waste in this country. It is heavy responsibility that they bear. If we could convert this one third to simple living, the problem would be solved.
 "1t is the one third who are guilty of eXtravagant eating and drinking in public places. They spend $2OO,- 900 every night in New York City alone on restaurants suppers. The na- tion spends at least million dollars day or $365, 100000 year in sup erfluous eating at hotels and restau- rants.
 Again it is the one third who are mostly responsible for the waste in volved in the use of jewelry on which so many millions are being spent. Fleet of "A gal 2
 We are now obtaining great many diamonds, other precious stones and articles of ornament from Europe. America sends to. Europe shiploads of useful commodities food-stuffs, machinery, cotton. She gets back wheelbarrow load of diamonds and jewelry.
 People think that diamonds are q good investment at a time when Lib erty Bonds and other securities and money itself are depreciating in value but this is a childish fallacy. If per sisted in, a lot of people will find themselves owning a handful of pre- cious stones as worthless as are the titles of many former monarchs of Europe"
 Further, Illustrating his point, Mr. Hoover cites the sale of perfume at $65 bottle and deplores the wide spread purchase of furs. He says:
 "The installment system of credit for clothes and furniture is direct cause of a great deal of eXtravagance for it lures it's victims with the idea of small occasional payments of which the total is almost never comprehend ed. It is somewhat as if you had a small cut in your pocket-book and through it the lesser coins were con- stantly dropping out"
 To make direct appeal to Amer ican women is characterized by MT. Hoover as high compliment to them, indicating that they are very largely the guardians of the American pock- et-book.
 "If the women of America see their opportunity and their duty and act upon them, civilization will be thler debtor" concludes MT. Hoover

 reductions from preliminary estimates
 of beans, grain sorghums, and other
 non-irigated crops, due to the drought.

Based on conditions September 25, the forecast is for a crop of 115,O00 bales so per cent of which will be of the Pima variety of American Egytian. Last years production totaled 60,00O bales, of which two-thiIds was of the American Egyptian variety.

For the United States the | crop is forecast at 415 millions bush els, which exceeds last years crop by 57 million bushels.
 Beans-In the dry-land areas, the lateness of the summer rains caused a heavy reduction in this crop.

JEAN ELIOT'S LETTER

C.. whose death just about tive years
ago, at time when all unsupported
the great war was drawing TO a close,
was one OF the poignant tragedies Of
the time.
He, more than any other man, had
trained the Marines. into the wonder
full nghting Organization that brought
glory TO themselves and their country,
He commanded the frst contingent
that went over. and stayed with them
until late In the summer Of 1919
when they sent him home to re-
cuperate from the results OF over
work. His friends say that II broke
his heart. Anyhow. he was stationed
at Quantico, - recuperatin9, - wheh
the influenza made It's frst herce
descent upon this cOuntry.-and he
was one OF the earliest victims, dy-
ing while his friend and chief, Major
General George Barnett was on the
way over on an inspection tour. The
funeral was from the commandants
house at the Marine Barracks. about
the same time that the commandant
was landing In France, himself III
with influenza, and being hustled at
once to a hospital. So while Fay
was not old enough to come out. and
never really figure to any extent In
Washington society, she and her
mother have hosts OF friends here.
who are all wishing her every pos
sible happiness.
