SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES HOUSE DREAM GHOSTS Receptacles Crammed With Fake Securities Representing Wasted Millions. Washington—If the safety deposit boxes of the United States could give up their dead stores of fake securities, enough wanted money would be disclosed to stagger the imagination. If a man expects his financial barrel to fill up, he has got to stop up the leaks in it. This is the keynote of a message sent by William Mather Lewis, director of the savings division of the Treasury Department, to the Twelfth District savings directors urging them to impress the wisdom of holding government securities. "Thousands of people in the United States are losing their hard-earned savings every day because they lack knowledge of financial dealing," continued Mr. Lewis. Untold numbers of fake scheme promoters and regiments of investment sharks, because of this popular ignorance, are pointing out short roads to big fortunes to those whose Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps they hope to secure in exchange for beautifully embossed but absolutely worthless stock certificates. These fakers know the value of government securities. They are anxious to get them, for they figure that they will soon be selling at par and above. They know that following the Civil War the war issues of government securities soon were above par, and that there is no well-informed person today who does not believe that the Liberty Bonds will sell well above par, long before their maturity. But their victims do not know these facts, and so they trade the best securities in the world for some wild-cat that promises a high rate of interest. Richard Siprelle, 11 years old, who is a student in the College School in San Francisco, won national attention recently King Albert of Belgium a 25 cent Thrift Stamp. The King himself in his automobile after an official reception in San Bernardino, the Lion-Hearted,” braving the United States Secretariat aboard the King’s machine and thrust Thrift Stamp Albert’s hands. “Thank you,” said the King, and then the King’s car lurched the kid behind. in securities.

"But their victims do not know these facts, and so they trade the best securities in the world for some wild-cat that promises a high rate of interest. What their chances are of getting stung is illustrated by the fact that in Georgia out of 300 applications from a certain type of company to sell stock in that state, only two have been able to meet the requirements under the blue-sky law and were given permits. "The other 298 are probably operating somewhere where the going is better. If the American people would give to the matter of spending and investment money 10 per cent of the thought they devote to making it, the high cost of living would be greatly decreased. Reckless spending and foolish investment are elements in the present situation which can only be remedied by the rank and file of our people. "As long as easy money is in evidence, the profiteer and the shark will prosper." BUY W. S. R. "DON'T BE A GOOF" A Chicago doctor, on his way to visit a patient the other day, was splashed with mud by a passing truck. He wiped the mire away with his handkerchief, which was thus removed from active service, and entered a furnishings store to buy a new one. He had plenty of handsome and serviceable handkerchiefs at home. What he wanted was a clean handkerchief for immediate use at a cost of not more than 50 cents. "I want a clean handkerchief," he said to the clerk. "Here are some very nice handkerchiefs of a good quality," said the clerk, opening a box. "Better give me a half dozen," decided the doctor, not asking the price. The handkerchiefs were wrapped up and then he asked: "How much?" "Eighteen dollars," said the clerk. "I was game," said the doctor, telling of the experience afterward. "I paid it." He was not game. He was a goof. He did not have the nerve to make that clerk unwrap the handkerchiefs and give him one for 50 cents, which was what he really wanted. He was afraid the clerk would think him cheap. Richard Siprelle, 11 years old, who is a student in the Citation School in San Francisco, won national attention recently. King Albert of Belgium a 25 cent Thrift Stamp. The King himself in his automobile after an official reception in San Bernardino, the Lion-Hearted," braving the United States Secretariat aboard the King's machine and thrust Thrift Stamp Albert's hands. "Thank you," said the King, and then the King's car lurched into the kid behind. "I didn't want the two-bits," said Richard. "I wanted the Thrift Stamp is." Better give me a half dozen, decided the doctor, not asking the price. The handkerchiefs were wrapped up and then he asked: "How much?" "Eighteen dollars," said the clerk. "I was game," said the doctor, telling of the experience afterward. "I paid it." He was not game. He was a goof. He did not have the nerve to make that clerk unwrap the handkerchiefs and give him one for 50 cents, which was what he really wanted. He was afraid the clerk would think him cheap. When you let someone tell you what you shall buy and how much you shall pay for it you are giving the strongest kind of aid to the profiteers. So long as people buy regardless of price and regardless of actual needs the profiteers will prosper. The wise man will now put every cent he can spare in War Savings Stamps and every dollar he can spare in Treasury Savings Certificates. When they mature in 1924 he will find that not only has his money earned 4.27 per cent, but his dollar has increased in value—possibly as much as 100 per cent. BUY W. S. S. Tips on How to Cut H. C.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE ING A THRIFT STAMP were on the way over four months, and more than 60 days of that time was actually sailing time. Admiral Rodman's fleet, actual sailing time, passed from the same Atlantic port to California waters in a little over 20 days—less than one-third of the time required for the former fleet and it marks the difference in the degree of protection now afforded both coasts. Atlantic as well as the Pacific, for the entire fleet could be assembled on either side in less than three weeks. The development is observed even in faraway New York, and the World observes. "One of the most effective arguments in support of an Isthmian canal when the project was under discussion was that it would double the strength of the United States navy. The race of the battleship Oregon in 1898 from the Pacific coast to join Sampson's fleet served to illustrate how much time could be saved in emergency in transferring warships from one ocean to the other by way of a waterway across Panama or Nicaragua. Recently for the first time a great fleet of battle ships under Admiral Rodman has tested the locks of the canal and been lifted high above sea level in making the passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific. There was little doubt about the outcome, but the fact that the feat has been accomplished with celerity carries its own lesson." INSECT POWDERS ADULTERATED Recent investigations by the United States Department of Agriculture show that insect powders are often adulterated with powdered daisy flowers products, two subjects never covered specifically by any preceding census act. The inquiries to be made relating to population, manufactures, mines, quarries, and agriculture were also extended in their scope by Congress, the keenest interest over the forthcoming census having been shown by the members of the census committees of both the House and Senate while the law was under consideration. The statistics gathered on mining NOTICE OF ABANDONMENT OF HIGHWAY Notice is hereby given to all freeholders in the Third Road District that the hearing of the petition of Annie M.

BACKS INSECT POWDERS ADULTRATED Recent investigations by the United States Department of Agriculture show that insect powders are often adulterated with powdered daisy flowers. However, the adulteration can ordinarily be determined definitely by microscopic examination. The presence of daisy flowers is indicated by fragments of the fruit tissues. Ordinarily the "ox-eye daisy," "field daisy," "white weed" or "marguerite," as it is often called, is used as an adulterant. Mountaineers in some States gather and dry these weeds and deliver them to country storekeepers in exchange for merchandise. In turn, the storekeeper passes on the daisy flowers to drug dealers, who use the material in insect powders in order to cheapen them. This form of adulteration is carried on to a marked extent at present, it is stated.

Many startling developments in this important branch of the nation's resources are looked for by census officials. The figures gathered in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas will no doubt prove to be those most eagerly sought for, as shown by inquiries already received by the Census Bureau. The compilation and gathering of forestry and forest products statistics will be in charge of a special force of experts. The accurate and comprehensive figures gathered concerning this vital natural resource will be much in demand, and the comparisons made with conditions existing before the war will be of great interest. Agricultural statistics will likewise be the subject of special effort on the part of the Census Bureau as the importance of farming is being realized by the average citizen far more than ever before. LOCAL FOREST DISTRICT LEADS IN RECEIPTS For the first time in years the California district, including California and a small part of Western Nevada, leads all Forest Service Districts in the amount of its receipts, $147,995 having been collected for the quarter ending September 30. District 6, embracing Oregon, Washington and Alaska, was California's nearest competitor with $115,134 to its credit for the same period. Receipts for the whole Forest Service for the quarter totaled $511,466.19, an increase of better than $76,000 over the same period last year; and this increase was due almost entirely to the large volume of business done in California. Twenty-five per cent of the California district's receipts—approximately $37,000—will be returned to the State for division among the counties in which the National Forests are located. An additional 10% is made available to the Forest Service (supplemented by other funds) for the construction of roads and trails within the State. Anaheim Gazette per year, $1.50, payable in advance.
