Banks in Federal Reserve
Are Reducing Borrowings
and Marketing of Agri-
cultural Products Has Sta
biliZed Conditions

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29-Mem-
Der banks reduced their borrowings
from the Federal Reserve Bank at an
accelerated pace during the month
ending December IA, John Perrin, San
Francisco federal agent, declared in
his monthly report made public here.
"In that period the decline amount
ed 20 $24,OOO,OOO, or PIP per cent,
leaving the total Of such borrowings
on that date $64 100000, the smallest
reported at any time during the last
two years." Mr.. Perrin SAID.
Banks in the larger cities Of the
district continued to reduce their bor-
rowings at approximately the same
rate which has prevailed since Sep
tember last, and liquidation of their
borrowings by banks in the country
districts became substantial during
November for the first time this year.
In the reports of the Ga principal re-
porting member banks there is appar-
ent a tendency toward increase in de-
posits accompanied by slight in
|crease az per cent during the month
ending December Z in loans not Sc
'cured by United States government
obligations. These reporting member
banks during the same period cut
their borrowings from the Federal Re-
serve Bank in half. In the acceptance
market more bills are originating in
this district and are now being Of
fered in the open discount market.
Demand for bills was gradually
broadening during November, but has
diminished during the first two weeks
of December, tendency reported to
be due to conservation of cash by
banks for the year-end settlements.
During November, the month be-
tween early fall buying and holiday
purchases, it is customary for retail
and wholesale sales generally to show
seasOna declines. In the wholesale
trade, however, it is significant to
note that sales of automobile tires,
dry goods and furniture, during No
lvember exceeded in dollar value the
sales in those lines during Novem-
ber, 1920. Excepting agricultural
implements, the decline in the other
seven reporting lines, when compared
with the declines in selling prices of
their products during the year, indi-
Gates that the physical volume of mer-
chandise now moving at wholesale is
as large or larger than it was last
year at this time. A similar situa-
ton obtains in the retail trade where
sales of the "a reporting department
stores were only 7.9 per cent less
than in November, 100, with price de-
clines for the same period reported
to be from Is to 25 per cent.
The last of the 1921 agricultural
products of this district are now COM
ing to market. The California rice
crop has been harvested under excep'
tionally favorable climatic conditions
and the quality is reported good. A
Favorable factor in its market pros
pect is the appreciable rice shortage
reported in Japan, where the embargo
against rice imports has been lifted
and where prices are reported to b'
rising. Latest estimates of the appl
crop of the district place it at $45,
900 900 bushels, approximately 80 pc
cent in excess of last years shor

HIGH WATER IS
COMING EARLY

With snow followed by rains in the
Little Colorado rivershed, with the
Gila river running bank high at Gila
Bend and with the Lower Colorado
river carrying 1900 second feet of
water from rains in the Delta section,
Imperial Irrigation District is con-
fronted this year with high water in
the river some weeks earlier than ever
before.
Reports received from Porter j.
Preston, manager of the United
States reformation service at Yuma,
prophesied the arrival at Hanlon
heading of the Gila and Little Colo
RADIO freshets at the same time. The
Laguna dam yesterday was already
up a foot, the river was rising at
Blythe, and freshets were filling the
upper river east of the Grand Can
yon. At Gila Bend the Gila was flow
ing two feet over the top of the DAM
the estimate being $4,000 second feet
Chief Engineer Carberry, Director
Breedlove and Business Manage,
Piatt, of the district, were at Pesca-
dero cut yesterday. They found that
one dredge was removing earth from
the upper end of the cut, with two
days' work before the channel can be
turned. Two dredges are farther
down, deepening the cut, and th'
fourth dredge is at the dam, driving
piles and placing the bents removed
by high water Monday.

CAMP GROUNDS IN THE EAST

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3O.-(Spe-
ciaD-A two-weeks tineean tour of
the benighted east, over the Lincoln
Highway between Gettysburg and
New York. covering numerous side
trips including n along the Atlantic
shore as far south as Barnegat light,

the Importance Of attracting auto

New York particularly It is difficult
to find a place to camp-"No Tres

Inquiries addressed to traffic COPS in
cities like Lancaster, Harrisburg and
York bring the Information that
some tourists had been granted per-
mission to camp overnight in the
public, parks, but this required offi-
cial written orders from the mayor
or chief Of police.
AS a result of some missionary
work done by the writer, several
eastern cities have now taken up the
matter of locating a public camping
ground for tourists, and conditions
are likely to improve as merchants
realize the Importance OF attracting

LIVED YEARS ON
BREAD and MILK
For More Than Decade Malady Of
Alabama Woman Was Contin-
ually Sapping Her Strength

Mrs. H. P. Barrett, of Republic,
suburb of Birmingham, Ala, gives
the facts of her remarkable expert
ence with Tanlac as follows:
During the past fourteen years
have spent more than one thousand
dollars trying to get rid of a COM
plant that was gradually sapping
my strength, but until / got hold OF
Tanlac nothing helped me. For the
past four years 1 have lived almost
entirely on milk and bread, and fin
ally even that went against me.
Before 1 had finished the first
bottle of Tanlac 1 got so I could eat
anything, and l certainly vless the
day l first got this medicine, for
believe it has added years to my life.
The people in my neighborhood were
so surprised at the change in me that
fourteen of them by actual count are
now taking Tanlac."
Tanlac is sold in Paris by the PeO-
anythin, and l certainly bless the
pies Pharmacy, and by all leading
drug stores everywhere.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

The people of Kansas City have
shown what an outraged public SEN
timent can do when genuinely
aroused, in spite of the negligence OF
public officials
During the early part of 1920,
criminals of every sort overran the
city, causing a veritable reign OF
terror. Finally the leading citizens
organizations decided that the only
way to get relief was to take things
into their own hands.
A law enforcement association was
formed, it's motto being, "Clean UI
Kansas City"
There has been stedy improve
| ment in the situation ever since
During the first five months of 1926
| there were 10 murders and 1,l8s
| burglaries During the same period
| in 1921 there were but nine muir
ders and 695 burglaries, about 55(
per cent cut in these two classes Of
crime. Highway robberies and auto
| thefts showed a like decrease.
The moral of all this is just this
There is no reason why the PEG
pie of any other town cannot d.
what the people of Kansas City hav
done If they will act with the sam
energy and intelligence.

MARINE CORPS REPRESENTA-.
TIVE AT AMERICANS
FUNERAL

Gunnery Sergeant Ernest A. jan
son has been selected to represent
the men of the Marine Corps at the
burial of the unknown American
hero in the Arlington National Gem
etery, Armistice Day, Nov. II. jan
son, together with several non
commissioned officers of the army,
all of whom have overseas records,
will act as pall-bearer.
Janson's record was divulged re-
Gently at the Marine Corps re-
cruiting Office, Indianapolis, Indiana,
where it was said that he received
the Congressional Medal Of Honor,
bravery. He also holds the Navy
tary Medal and Croix de Guerre
and the Montenegro silver medal
for bravery.
The citation for which Janson
| received his American decorations
follows:
For conspicuous gallantry and
intrepidity above and beyond the
call of duty in action with the en-
envy near Chateau Thierry, France,
June 6, 1918. Immediately after
the company to which he belonged
had reached it's objective on Hill
142 several hostile counter attacks
were launched against the line be-
fore the new position had been con-
solidated. Sergeant Janson was at
tempting to organize position on
the north slope of the hill when he
saw twelve of the enemy, armed
| with five light machine guns,
crawling toward the group. Giving
the alarm he rushed the hostile de-
tachment, bayoneted the two lead
ers and forced the others to fee,
abandoning their guns. His quick
action, initiative and courage drove
| the enemy from position from
which they could have swept the
hillside with machine gun fire and
forced the withdrawal of our
troops"
