IMAGINE a world without the printed word,
every field of human endeavor handicapped!
Printing in this state, is both great industry
and fine art. California printing companies
frequently receive orders from many other states,
and even from foreign countries.
More than $4,000 Californians are employed in
printing and allied industries Yearly expenditures for
wages and materials exceed IS million doii1s
Successful plant operation requires sound of
commercial credit well dependable banking service
And Bank of America takes pride in the fact that
more than $50 printing and publishing companies are
depositors in this Bank.
Most of these concerns pay employees by check
avoiding the risk of handling cash. and reducing nsur-
costs.
In depostng these checks various Bank of America
branches, hundreds of printing craftsmen make regular
additions to their Understanding savings accounts.
Steady financial progress is the happy result,
To business concerns this community, TO ndi-
vidual depostors Bank of America offers the same

 New York. Sept 3--(UP)-Yes- terday's sharp decline in the stock market was extended one to i've points to-day on continued liquida- ton.
 Selling was heavy in the first two hours, forcing most of the rails and many of the ifidustriais into further low ground for the bear market. Activity was nearly triple recent levels, sales to 1880 along approximating 1.400.0Q0 shares.
 Trading quieted down somewhat in the, early afternoon. however, coincident with drying up of urg- ent selling pressure. Leaders were unable to recover more than a fraction of their early declines and the list held close to the lows dur ing the fourth hour of trading.
 Weakness, continued to crop out in individual shares, however, and this selling kept speculative senti- ment in an unsett>ed state. Selling of an important nature made its appearance in General Motors and it's largest stockhoider, Du Por,t. based on possibilities of an early downward revision of the current SS annual General Motors dividend. Similar fears were responsible for weakness in Columbian Carbon, westing house Electric. Information al telephone and most of the rails.
 J. l. Case. was the focal point of the selling, the stock breaking more than ten points as bears hammered the stock to new low following omission of the SC an- nual dividend and reports the com pany's main plant at Racine. Wis, was virtually shut down. Omission of the extra dlvendend by McKees- port resulted in a 3-poiht drop in that stock. O contrast to the gen. eraily lower trend was the gold stocks, all of which advanced mo- derately.
 Pool operations usually appear in these stocks whenever the main body of stocks is reactionary, based on the increased purchasing power of the gold companies' output.
 Railroad shares made only small recoveries from their early lows despite reports that the interstate commerce commission was rushing hearings on the proposed railroad freight rate increase. "A decision was expected before the end of the wear.

PRESIDENT CLOSES
CAMP AT RAP|DAN
Cold Prevents Further Use of
Summer Retreat Until
Spring.

With the approach of Winter near at
hand and the atmosphere of his tshlng
camp on the Rapidan River in Virginia
considerably colder than in Washing
ton, President Hoover has ordered that
retreat closed until next Spring.
Official announcement to this effect
was made at the White House today.
1t was said in the Presidents behalt
that he derived much enjoyment from
his week end visits to the mountain
camp and that he would look forward
with pleasure to the re-openlng OF tne
camp with the return of milder weather.
AS evidence of the Presidents fond
ness for this retreat as an Ideal place
for rest and seclusion, it was recalled
today that from the middle of last April
until the first week in September, ne
visited the camp each week end with
the exception of only four.
On those weekly visits the PRESIDENT
and Mrs. Hoover always had NUMBER
of guests and. although no accurate &C
count of the number has been Kept, II
is safe to estimate that on an average
of eight guests were at the camp each
week end. Sometimes the number ran
as high as Is or 16. 1t was at this
camp that the President held his i'm
portant series of conferences with de-
partmental heads for the. purposes OF
mapping out a governmental economy
program for next year.
During the Summer the work OF I'M
proving and further identification OF the
Presidents retreat was continued. The
Marine guard of ITS men and 8 officers,
which has been on duty at the camp
since early last April. has been ordered
reduced to a corporaPS guard. I
