MORE THAN BILLION
HAS BEEN PUT INTO
SAVINGS SECURITIES
REDEMPTIoN8 ARE GROWING
SMALLER As WISE INVESTORS
REoEivk iNTEREsT ON
THEIR MONEY

More than one thousand million
dollars have been invested In Thrift
and War Savinss Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates BY wise and
thrifty persons In this country, &C.
oording to an ofioial report recently
compiled. OF this amount, over $3.50,
100000 u now outstanding, and in.
vsstments are steadily increasing. The
banner year. OF course. was 1918, whom
there was strong patriotic appeal.
Total sales for 1918 were $971,913,.
900. During 1919. whsn the sales cam.
1aisa was based CT national thrift
rsther than patriotism. $1S5.306, 900
was brought into the Treasury, and in
1870 tho total was $43,Ss2,0o0. Re.
demptons to date include $378,26l, 900
OF the 1918 series, $33,441, 900 OF the
1919 series, $8.0s0,00 of the 1920 is.
sues and about $135,O00 Of the 1921
series.
Omcials Of the savings division
point out that by far the greater pro.
portion OF the redemptions are Of the
1913 series, which indicates that the
more recent issues are being Dur.
chased by individuals who plan to hold
them to maturity.
The certificates pay per cent. in.
terest compounded quarterly, which IL
equivalent to approximately AZ Per
cent. II held for the full nve years
Those who present the certificates for
redemption prior to the maturity date
receive about 8 per cent. interest.

STOCKS AND BONDS
ARE NOW USED FOR
WRAPPING BUNDLES

Destitute peasants at Aitau, Lativia,
are carrying home food wrapped In
thousand -rouble securities. but they
are not bit slsted over the fact.
When An American Red Cross unit
reached Mitau recently and opened up
headquarters in vacant bank build.
ing. bales Of formerly valuable securi.
ties were found heaped in q corner.
They were beautifully engraved on
fine bond paper, but their value wa
absolutely nothing. As paper was
scarce. the crisp bonds and stocks were
utilized as wrapping paper by the REQ
Cross workers.
II the safe deposit boxes and bureau
drawers and trunk trays Of Americs
were empded, thousands OF bales OF
securities equally valueless would be
uncovered. Millions have been in.
vested by Americans within the last
year in stocks which are worth nc
moro than the securities of the de
funct government Of Imperial Russia
Some investors are continuing to buy
beautifully engraved certificates good

price of profitable Investments.

been issued against fake stock sales

WASHINGTON, Sept, 16,-The people
want the high cost of living reduced and
business revived with a bang, according
to the message Republican leaders are
getting today from COngressmen return
ing to Washington from sojourns at
home.
Congress Is held strictly accountable
for present conditions by many consti-
tuencies and complaints that Congress
has not enacted a tariff bill nor revised
taxes could not be suenced, Congressman
declared.
Ths peoples legislative program, ac-
cording to the consensus Of opinion
among returning Congressman is as fol-
lows:
Prompt revision of taxes.
Tariff protection from cheap Ger
man products.
Reductions of freight rates.
Sound business men realize that Amer
lea is suffering from war reaction, said
Representative Bland, Indiana, "but it is
hard to tell that to farmers, who are sell
ing calf skins for a. cents and paying
$40 for shoes"
Congressman from the Middle West
declare farmers in their districts are the
hardest hit by present conditions and
are the loudest in their complaints.
They admit the farmers told them to go
back to Washington and get busy with
taxes, tariff and freight rates.

Accusation Is Made by
Examiner for Ac-

$14,66O AT ISSUE

Illegal expenditure by the Marion
County commissioners of S14,6 in
the construction Of a concrete road
and the repair of bridge is charged
in a report of A. L. Donaldson, an ex-
aminer Of the State board of ac-
counts, filed today.
1t is charged the cost Of building
the road and of repairing the bridge
was paid out Of the gravel road re-
pair fund, which cannot legally be
used for this purpose.
The road in question is the Haverstick
road about a quarter of a mile long
and the bridge which was repaired is
on this road. The paving of the road.
according to the report, cost S10,56o and
the repair OF the bridge 100.
Mr.. Donaldson stated in the report that
the road had been declared a public
utility and that Leo X. FesIer, county
auditor, had informed him he had asked
the State highway commission to build
IL and the highway commission had re-
fused He said Mr. Fesler told him that
after the commission refused to build
the road the county decided to go ahead
and build T. from the gravel road repair

The attitude Of the board Of accounts
IS set out in letter to Hence Orme, Of
the Marion County council. The letter
says;
we call your especial attention 10 the
fact that this report shows that Marion
county has been constructing roads and
bridges with funds taken from the free
gravel road repair fund
This Is a fagrant violation Of the
statutes Of Indiana and can not be ap-
proved nor tolerated by the State board

Therefore, the granting of a divorce

Gases of this sort, especially when

IDEA ON CONTACT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Presi-
dent Harding's unemployment con-
ference, scheduled to open in Wash
ington ten days hence. is going to
concern itself primarily with the task
of finding jobs for some 100000
jobless before cold weather sets in,
rather than seek to discover the
why's and wherefores Of unemploy-
ment, according to those familiar
with the conference plans.
The President and Secretary of Com
merce Herbert Hoover are completinS z
preparations for the conference after q
weeks consideration OF tho whole problem
during the vacation trip. Acceptances
from nearly all Of the thirty persons to
whom invitations were addressed have
been received.
The administration plans to have the
forthcoming conference deal entirely with
the task of bringing the 1obless IN i'm
mediate contact with the joL, leaving to
less critical time the more ambitious
undertaking OF finding a permanent cure
for unemployment.
Great car will be exercised It was said
to keep the conference harmonious and
to exclude from its program such con-
troversial subjects between capital and
labor as the open shop, wage reductions,
living costs and similar matters. In this
respect administration spokesmen en-

dustrial conference"
What the President desires the meet
ing to bring forth is a number of con-
crete measures to bring relief before

The ultimate aim Of the President and
Secretary Hoover is to evolve If possible
some remedial measures which can be
applied In the future for tbe avoidance Of
just such a condition as the country finds
Itself in today.

GEN. MENOHER,
i. S. ARMY AIR
CHIEF, RESIGNS
Follows Months of
Wrangling in Fly
ing Service.
DIFFERS WITH AID

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The dis
cord and dissension which for
months has been smoldering in the
United States army air service re-
suited today in the resignation Of
Maj. Gen. Charles T. Menoher as
chief of air service.
General Menoher has sent his res
ignation to the Secretary Of War.
1t has not been acted upon, but it is
understood it. will be accepted and
the army air service will have a new
head within the next few weeks.
Back Of General Menoher's resigna-
tion is a record of months of dissension
and discord over policies and personnel
which was featured few months ago by
General Menoher demanding that his
first assistant, Brig. Gen. William
Mitchell, the only flying general" IN the
Army, be removed. General Menoher at
that time sent a letter to Secretary Of
War Weeks demanding Mltchel's re-
movaI
The Secretary Of War mediated the
differences between the two officers and
the result was that General Menoher re-
mained chief Of air service and General
Mitchell remained as mis- first assistant.
1t was a patched up peace" however.
and subsequent events revealed that the
causes Of friction had not been removed.
Recently it had become more pronounced.
The differences between General Memo

arose through Menoher's policy of put
ting non-fying officers in high admins
tratve positions In the air service.
General Mitchell objected to this pol-
icy IS detrimental to the morale Of the
air service and insisted flying officers be
given recognition in administrative posi-
tiOns. Their differences hinged on an in
depreciation Of an article Of the national
defense act, which stipulates the numbe
Of n-hying officers In the air service.
The differences became so pronounced
that the matter was put up to the judge

divorces are not of necessity an evil, but
that when properly controlled and admin

Judge Moll called attention to the
fact that in many instances the higher
courts Of this and every other States in
