TO TEACH THRIFT IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS EDUCATORS IN CONFERENCE DECIDE TO INSTRUCT PUPILS IN ECONOMICAL LIVING Extravagance in Dress to be Checked, Wearing Silks and Other Costly Ralment Discouraged.—Parents Asked to Assist. Soft, silky lingerie, silk stockings, shirt waists and other luxurious wearing apparel must go; for thrift is going to be taught in every public school of the West, superintendents of public instruction of the States of Washington, Idaho, Utah, California and Nevada decided at a meeting called by the Federal Government. The educators will at once establish in every public school throughout the Twelfth Federal Reserve District a standardized, permanent course in thrift graded like any of the three R's and taught upon a plane with them. As a laboratory of thrift there will be organized in every schoolroom in every elementary and high school, savings societies and the superintendents of instruction have memorialized the Federal Government at Washington not only to continue the Thrift and War Savings Campaign nation will suffer. At such a time as this it is alarming," the educators declare, "that people of small means should make extravagant, unnecessary purchases and even anticipate their income by making such purchases on time. Children growing up under such conditions are certain to develop false ideals and form extravagant habits. We, therefore, feel that a concerted effort should be made to check extravagance and promote thrift as a life habit." The superintendents of public instruction of Oregon and Arizona, the other two states in the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, telegraphed that they were unable to attend the conference. Full reports of the action of the conference, however, were mailed to them and the organization of the work in the schools throughout the various states was begun at once by the educators from San Francisco before they left for their homes. While there, they took occasion also to resolve "That teachers in elementary and high schools having equal training and equal experience shall receive equal salaries." This action was brought about through a shortage of elementary teachers, due to the attraction of higher salaries paid in high schools. Another resolution, favored "A larger unit of local school administration, based upon natural social and economic grouping." The "Declaration of Principles" and the resolutions in full follow: "We are living in a period of exceptional extravagance and high prices. Never in the history of the nation has there been such a waste of time, labor, money and energy." based upon natural nomic grouping.

As a laboratory of thrift there will be organized in every schoolroom in every elementary and high school, savings societies and the superintendents of instruction have memorialized the Federal Government at Washington not only to continue the Thrift and War Savings Campaign as a permanent policy, but to elaborate it by the introduction of penny, nickle and dime thrift stamps. In a "Declaration of Principles" containing suggestion of a practical plan of procedure upon which the thrift course in its initial steps will be predicated, the Western educators, one of whom was Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, President of the National Education Association and State Superintendent of Schools in Washington, had this to say: "Extravagance in dress must be checked among the school boys and girls, manifested in many ways, but especially in the purchase of silk hosiery, silk shirts, neckties and expensive footwear. To this end we recommend that school principals and teachers insist upon reasonable economy and modesty in dress and with appeal to parents and pupils to co-operate in an effort to check such extravagance." The conference of Western School Superintendents was called by Governor John U. Calkins of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank, who is also Chairman of the War Loan Organization for the Twelfth Federal Reserve District. The first sessions were held in the Senate Chambers at Sacramento and in the offices of Will C. Wood, Superintendent of Public Instruction for California. The closing session was held in the Federal Reserve Bank. All of the sessions were attended by Robert E. Smith, Director of the War Loan Organization for the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, and C. A. Farnsworth, Associate Director. The government officials went before the educators frankly admitting that they had no program and that they wanted the superintendents of instruction to work out the problem of training not only the children, but the adults of the West away from extravagance. "We are living in a period of exceptional extravagance and high prices. Never in the history of the nation has there been such a waste of time, labor, money and materials. During the war, the people of America were told that thrift would win the war, that we should save food, clothing and money. It needs no argument to show that these things are essential in the life of the nation. The world will not be safe and stable until there is greater conservation of these things. Our nation is facing a winter of unpreparedness. Unless the prices of shoes, hats, milk, butter, eggs, potatoes, flour, fuel and other necessaries are reduced the children of the nation will suffer. At such a time it is alarming that people of small means should make extravagant and unnecessary purchases, and even anticipate their income by making such purchases on time. Children growing up under such conditions are certain to develop false ideals and form extravagant habits. "In the interest of the future citizenry of America, we, the state superintendents of public instruction in the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, appeal to our people to do everything in their power to discourage and check extravagance, and by precept and example to aid the schools in the teaching of thrift. We urge upon school officials and teachers the necessity for the teaching of thrift, as a patriotic duty and as a means of meeting this great social and economic crisis. "As a practical plan of procedure, we advocate the following steps: "First, the teaching of the principles of thrift as a regular part of the school program. "Second, the setting up of suitable administrative school machinery to enable and encourage children to invest in thrift and war savings stamps. "Third, the checking of extravagance in dress among school boys and girls manifested in many ways, but especially in the purchase of silk hosiery." The "Declaration of Principles" and the resolutions in full follow: "We are living in a period of exceptional extravagance and high prices.

The government officials went before the educators frankly admitting that they had no program and that they wanted the superintendents of instruction to work out the problem of training not only the children, but the adults of the West away from extravagance and into habits of thrift. To this end the courses and laboratories in thrift will be established under the direction in each state of the superintendent of public instruction, who, as a government official, will bear the title of State Educational Director of Thrift. In the opinion of the various educators attending the conference, the meeting was an historical one and was considered such a success that a permanent organization of Western States School Superintendents will be formed. For this purpose Mrs. Preston was named temporary chairman. It is planned to have the new organization, when it is formed, meet at least once a year. The "Declaration of Principles" drawn up and signed by the following instruction superintendents: Miss Ethel E. Redfield, Idaho; G. N. Child, Utah; W. E. Hunting, Nevada; Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, Washington; and Will C. Wood, California, attacks the present high price situation as a "danger point" in American social and economic development and declares: "Our nation is facing a winter of unpreparedness. Unless the price of shoes, hats, milk, butter, eggs, potatoes flour, fuel, and other necessities are reduced the children of the "First, the teaching of the principles of thrift as a regular part of the school program.

To this end we recommend that school boards and teachers insist upon reasonable economy and modesty in dress and we appeal to parents and pupils to co-operate in the effort to check such extravagance. "Fourth, that thrift education be regarded as a continuous process involving habit formation that must be directed and controlled outside of school as well as during school attendance. "WHEREAS, the savings of children are made in pennies, nickles and dimes, rather than in coins of larger denominations, "RESOLVED, that we recommend to the Federal authorities, the issuance and sale of thrift stamps of smaller denominations. "RESOLVED, further, that we heartily endorse the thrift and war savings stamps movement inaugurated by the Federal government, and urge the Congress of the United States to continue and extend the present plan by passing appropriate legislation. "RESOLVED, that teachers in elementary and high schools, having equal training and equal experience, shall receive equal salaries. RESOLVED, that we favor a larger unit of local school administration." ANAHEIM GAZETTE EMPLOY SERVICE MEN IN TAKING CENSUS Discharged Soldiers will be Given Preference on the Job. Honorably discharged soldiers, sailors or marines will be employed as far as possible by the Government in taking the 1920 census. The United States Civil Service Commission has issued the following call to the War Department: Nearly ninety thousand persons will be engaged in the work of collecting the facts and figures about Uncle Sam's gigantic family after January 2, 1920, as that is the date set for beginning the enumeration of the population of the United States. In this project nearly eighty thousand workers will be engaged in field work, while the balance will comprise the Washington office force, where the tabulation, classification and statistical work will be done from the information secured from representatives of the Census Bureau in the field. In this, as in every other Government activity, soldiers, sailors and marines will be given preference in appointments. This is accomplished by giving all service men preference on the eligible list of the Civil Service register. The majority of the appointments of the Census Bureau are governed by the Civil Service rules and regulations and the Civil Service Commissioner announces an examination for Census Bureau Clerks on Oct. 1 teaspoon salt. These muffins should cook slowly in a moderate oven for 30 minutes. All soy-bean breads brown more quickly than other hot breads. GRIDDLE CAKES 1 cup soy-bean flour. 1 cup white flour. 2½ to 3 cups liquid. 4 teaspoons baking powder. 1 teaspoon salt. 2 eggs. STEAMED SOY-BEAN BROWN BREAD 2 cups corn meal. 2 cups soy-bean meal. 2 cups graham flour. 3 teaspoons salt. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 2 teaspoons soda. 1 cup molasses. 4 cups sour milk. Sift together the meals, flour, salt, baking powder, and soda. Combine mozzarella and sour milk and add to dry ingredients. Stir to make a thick batter. Put into greased molds. Cover and place in fireless cooker vessel with a little water in the vessel and place over a flame. Steam for one-half hour. Then place in fireless cooker with hot soapstone for three hours. This will make two loaves in pound coffee cans. PLANTING TROUT IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Many Young Fry Turned Loose in Ventura and Santa Barbara. Quite the best lot of fish that ever was planted in Ventura and Santa Barbara streams is being released on WAR OFFICE STOPS BOMB DISTRIBUTION Treasury Department’s Plan to Award Hand Grenades Blocked The War Department has cancelled its contract to supply the Treasury Department with 15,000,000 hand grenades which were to be converted into savings banks to stimulate the sales of War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates, according to a telegram received by C. A. Farnsworth, associate director of the War Loan Organization in the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, from Washington. Banks and Trust Companies of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District had ordered nearly 100,000 grenades before news of the cancellation was received. The telegram to Farnsworth read: "As the War Department has determined that the distribution of hand grenades as souvenirs should be discontinued, and has canceled its arrangement for supplying grenades to the Treasury Department to be manufactured into grenade savings banks, the Treasury is unable to continue the distribution of the banks. "In order, however, to recognize the efforts of children in working and saving during the vacation time, each one who would be entitled to a bank will receive a certificate of achievement from the Treasury in appreciation of his industry in saving and buying government securities." The hand grenades were known as Mills bombs No. 11 and were ready for shipment to American forces in France when the armistice was signed. "I am deeply disappointed as I know the people who looked forward to receiving one of these war souvenirs will be," In this, as in every other Government activity, soldiers, sailors and marines will be given preference in appointments. This is accomplished by giving all service men preference on the eligible list of the Civil Service register. The majority of the appointments of the Census Bureau are governed by the Civil Service rules and regulations and the Civil Service Commissioner announces an examination for Census Bureau Clerks on Oct. 18 and November 15. This is made possible as a result of the Veteran Preference Bill recently passed by Congress, which give precedence in original appointment in clerical and other positions in the Executive branch of the Government in the District of Columbia and elsewhere to honorably discharged service men, or their widows, and to the wives of injured soldiers, sailors or marines who themselves are not qualified, but whose wives are. The office of the Assistant to the Secretary of War has issued this bulletin: "Ex-service men who desire such appointments should make inquiry at the local Board of Examiners of the Civil Service in their city, where full information will be obtained. There are 3000 of these boards, one in nearly every city of the United States. Men living in communities where there are no boards should write the nearest one or to the United States Civil Service Commission, Washington, D.C. These boards have a complete list of all Civil Service positions and are posted up to date on all changes." SOY BEAN FLOUR The soy bean, long and favorably known in the Orient, is now becoming a common foodstuff in the United States. This bean, unlike ordinary beans, contains much oil and no starch. To make the flour, the oil is pressed out of the beans and the resulting pressed cake can then be readily ground into meal. This meal or flour possesses a higher nutritive value than does wheat flour and more fat—in fact, so much fat that no extra shortening is needed when it is used. The following recipes for use of this will make two loaves in pound coffee cans. PLANTING TROUT IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Many Young Fry Turned Loose in Ventura and Santa Barbara. Quite the best lot of fish that ever was planted in Ventura and Santa Barbara streams is being released on the second trip of the Fish and Game Commission's trout-cars over the route of the so-called "Up-Coast Distribution." One carload from Mount Shasta hatchery was planted early in the summer in the Ventura and Santa Ynez systems. The present load is from the new Mount Whitney hatchery in the Owens valley, and a combination of several conditions has made a lusty, lively lot, despite the succession of delays which have forced holding them in the rearing troughs longer than intended. In a way this loss has been the gain of the up-coast streams, as the longer time in the phenomenal water from Oak Creek, and the scientific feeding method have resulted in larger fish than usual. Those who have advocated "fingerling plantings" for once will have a fair demonstration of their pet theory this season. Approximately 50,000 of these fish are going into Santa Paula Creek, an equal allotment into the Ventura and Sespe headwaters, and the remainder into the Santa Ynez. With exception of the Santa Paula distribution which will be handled by the local sportsmen, Deputies John J. Barnett and Henry J. Abels of the Fish and Game Commission will be in charge of the plantings. Webb Wilcox is packing his allotment for up to where they will do the most good, and this is the endeavor of the State authorities in view of the general low water conditions and the lateness of the season. This second carload will be followed as soon as the car and cans can return to be filled, by another, which will be distributed mostly in Ventura county streams, following the announced policy of the Fish and Game Commission to do all that necessary. AMERICA'S MILLIONAIRES By the income tax returns for 1917 it is shown that there were in the United States 3302 incomes between $100,000 and $150,000 each. If the average was $125,000, the total incomes in that class were $402,750,000. There were 2347 incomes between $150,000 and $300,000 each. If the average was $200,000 the total incomes in that class were $469,400,000. There were 559 incomes between $300,000 and $500,000 each. If the average was $400,000 the total incomes in that class were $223,600,000. There were 315 incomes between $500,000 and $1,000,000 each. If the average was $750,000 the total incomes in that class were $336,250,000. At the top of the heap were 141 incomes of $1,000,000 or more. If the average was $1,500,000 the total incomes in that class were $211,500,000. The grand total for all classes given would be $1,643,500,000 income among 6684 individuals. What is your income? You haven't any? Neither did those millionaires until they started to save and invest. Begin now and build up an income. Buy a five dollar United States War Savings Stamp. It pays 4 per cent, compounded quarterly. If you haven't got four dollars and twenty cents—that is what a five dollar stamp costs—buy a twenty-five cent Thrift Stamp. Get started. Get an income. An income from War Savings Stamps is not taxable. W.S.S. THE PITH OF IT President Wilson, in tackling the high cost of living, said: "Only by increasing production and by rigid economy and saving by the people can we hope for large decreases in the burdensome cost of living which now weigh us down." a common foodstuff in the United States. This bean, unlike ordinary beans, contains much oil and no starch. To make the flour, the oil is pressed out of the beans and the resulting pressed cake can then be readily ground into meal. This meal or flour possesses a higher nutritive value than does wheat flour and more fat—in fact, so much fat that no extra shortening is needed when it is used. The following recipes for the use of soy-bean meal have been tested by home economics workers in the United States Department of Agriculture: **BISCUITS** 1 cup soy-bean flour. 1 cup wheat flour. 4 teaspoons baking powder. ½ teaspoon salt. ½ to 2-3 cup water. Bake 15 minutes. Biscuits made with any wheat-flour substitutes are better if rolled slightly thicker than those made from all wheat flour. **MUFFINS** Very good muffins can be made by using half soy-bean flour and the rest mashed potatoes. 1 cup soy-bean flour. 1 cup white flour. 1½ to 1¼ cups liquid. 1 egg. 4 teaspoons baking powder. 1 tablespoon sugar. 1 teaspoon salt. Or— 1 cup soy-bean flour. 1 cup mashed potatoes or cooked rice. 1 cup liquid 1 egg. 4 teaspoons baking powder. 1 tablespoon sugar. Turned back to the county's personal property rebate trust fund Friday was the sum of $120,992.74, this being in excess of the amount that would have gone to the county under this year's personal property tax rate. The amount was collected under last year's rate. Last year the sum of $66,229.60 was turned back to the trust fund. Under the law the county assessor must assess personal property under the tax rate obtaining during the previous year. This is done for the reason that the assessor begins his work during March while the tax rate is not fixed until September. Of the $120,992.74 turned back Friday, $110,304.34 goes to the Standard Oil Company. Get started. Get an income. An income from War Savings Stamps is not taxable. **THE PITH OF IT** President Wilson, in tackling the high cost of living, said: "Only by increasing production and by rigid economy and saving by the people can we hope for large decreases in the burdensome cost of living which now weighs us down." Despite the fact that the Department of Justice is scurrying about investigating high prices and throwing profiters in jail, the President's cure for high prices is the only one. He has with him in his opinion the best economists in America and Europe. It is most elementary economics that as long as the public persists in its spending "jag," buying unnecessary and fastening upon industry a demand for more than industry can produce, exorbitant prices will prevail. There is only one way out. That is the President's way. The people have got to save. In order to save they must do without high priced luxuries and live simply. They must invest their savings that the means of more and greater production may be accumulated. Economists know that the Treasury Department is doing more than the Department of Justice is to bring down prices. The lowly Thrift Stamp and War Savings Stamp is the weapon. Buy them and hold them. Put them first on the family budget. They bring 4 per cent interest compounded every three months. Get the habit of buying them every pay day. They will solve your high cost of living problem. W.S.S. The price of a $5 War Savings Stamp this month is $4.21. Buy one every week. How many successful men do you know who never learned to save; how many failures who did? Buy War Savings Stamps. Ford THE UNIVERSAL CAR The Ford car can well be called the "people's car," because there are more than 3,000,000 of them in daily operation. That is about four to one of the nearest follower in the motor car industry. This would not be so if the Ford car had not for sixteen years proven its superiority in service, in durability, and in low cost for operation and maintenance; this would not be so if the Ford car was not so easy to understand, so simple in construction that anybody and every body can safely drive it.

Herron, the "Christian socialist" and excommunicated Congregational minister, wrote an eulogy of President Wilson in which the name of Mr. Wilson is frequently linked with divinity, and was thereafter appointed by President Wilson a member of his entourage at Paris, and, along with William Allen White, was appointed a delegate to the abortive conference with the bolsheviks at Prinkipo, is still hitting it up for Wilsonism and the league of nations. Yet this is what he confesses about the league of nations in his recently published book, "The Greater War": "The league of nations presented by the peace conference is a name and no more; no such thing as a league of nations exists; no such thing has been created at Paris. The most we can say is, that a doubtful league of governments has been put forth; and practically, a league of only three governments at that. As it turns out, what has been accomplished at Paris is a new Triple Alliance masquerading as a general league. And this new Triple Alliance, if a real society of nations be not soon created, will become an intolerable nuisance, a tyranny not to be borne."
