The President and Mrs. Roosevelt Will
Give Traditional State Functions at
White House This Winter.

|DHE President and Mrs. Roosevelt
will give the customary state
functions at the White House
this Winter. While there will
be no curtailment of the official
receptions and dinners. the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt stress the fact that
there will be no extravaganza in giving
the official fetes. They will be for
hospitality's sake alone and not for
mere entertainment. President and

functions are necessary and that II Is
important to meet ones friends ana
associates socially. They particularly
do not wish that the simplicity OF such
official functions be overlooked.
The President and Mrs. Roosevelt will
serve the simplest of refreshments at
the State functions this Winter, per-
haps a fruit punch with cakes. The
serving of refreshments is return to
the custom in the administration OF
President Taft, who was the last Chief
Executive to extend such hospitality.
Because of the World War, President
and Mrs Wilson were forced to abandon
the State functions and President
Harding did not renew the custom OF
serving food at these events.
While the same number of receptions
will be given at the White House this
season the company will be so invited
as to balance the number at each party,
in order that one party will be as nearly
as possible similar in number.
The usual dinner given by the men,
bers of the cabinet, in honor of the
President and First Lady. will not be
given this Winter. The President and
Mrs. Roosevelt will dine only with the
Vice President and Mrs. Garner

To City Clerk

George Burnharn, this morning.
The letter is in answer to a tele-
gram sent by Neale after Wednes-

council asking the legislator to aid
in securing federal farm loans for
the farmers of the county. Similar
kilograms were sent to Senators
johnson and McAdoo.
Burnham stated that he has re-
ceived many letters and kilograms
similar to the one despatched by
the city clerk and that he has per-
sonally called on the farm loan
commissioner on two occasions and
strongly urged him to see that the
farmers of this county are given the
relief provided for them in the re-
Gently passed farm relief act.
The letter also states that he
found the farm loan commissioner
sympathetic toward farmers here
and that an investigation would be
made to see if it were possible to
make farm loan commissioner loans
in the county and also to ascertain
whether or not the Berkeley bank
could not now make loans here.

FARMERS OF
STATE GIVEN
MANY LOANS

Applications received by the San
Francisco branch of the Regional
Agricultural Credit corporation as
of June 7, 1888, total over $14,362, :
295, according to E. w. Wilson,
manager of the corporation.
More than 2,160 applications out
of total of 5000 received by that
office have been approved amount
ing to over $7,000,000 Over $1,000
900 of this amount has been ad-
vanced to growers : and livestock
owners and the balance is being
disbursed on buget basis, as need
ed. Loans made by the Credit cor
poration cover every kind of fruit
and field crop grown in California,
as well as vegetables and livestock.
THE material strengthening of
prices to growers on many Cali
fornia crops is encouraging to
growers and will help toward re-
habilitating California agriculture, .
says Wilson. prices for dried fruits
have been strengthening material
ly. Growers are being offered pri-
ces for their dried apricots sub
stantially above last years. The
successful drive Of the California
prune industry to maintain the Cal
ifornia Prune pool keeps this i'm
portant stabilizing factor in the
prune industry. Our prune borrow
ers report considerable interest by
packers in contracting their unsold
lots. The low stocks of canned
fruits, of which there is total OF
less than one and quarter million
unsold at this time in the hands
of all Gamers, including cherries,
pears and peaches, has frightened
the canning fruit situation"
prices of beans, rice, barley
wheat and hops have all improved
Wool has nearly doubled in price
the last so days, and many other
farm products are taking strength
from the general improvement
that all business is feeling The year
1888 promises improvement to the
