WEST SAVED $100,000,000 IN WAR STAMPS People of Pacific Slope Have Loaned Government Huge Sum Since 1918 San Francisco—Nearly $100,000,000 worth of War Savings and Thrift Stamps have been sold by the government in the Twelfth Federal Reserve District since Uncle Sam opened his thrift campaign in 1918 to help finance the war. "In other words," said Robert E. Smith, director of the War Loan Organization in the Twelfth District, "the people of California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and part of Arizona have added that much to the working capital of the nation and the West out of their savings, not to mention the tremendous sum they have saved by purchasing Liberty Bonds." Of course many persons who bought Thrift and War Savings Stamps have cashed in their securities with amazing shortsightedness, but the wiser purchasers are holding their stamps until they maintain their full maturity value. "Those persons who have cashed in their War Stamps or their Liberty Bonds and have spent the money have lost twice the amount they saved because, no matter what they bought, they paid nearly twice as much for it as they would have paid less than five years from now," said Smith. "Prices have risen more than 100 per cent since 1914. They will drop at least 50 per cent in the next few years and will eventually get back to the 1914 level. Now is the time to save." Smith, who is a successful financier, said: "We have high prices because of the expansion of credit and consequent inflation. We won't have low prices until the people contract the RUBBER SUBSTITUTE FOUND IN UNITED STATES Scientists Discover Plants that Will Yield Big Supply. The discovery of an emergency supply of 300,000,000 pounds of rubber in plants grown in Western North America was one of the undisclosed features of the work of the committee on scientific research of the state university's department of botany, that became known here recently. This immense natural rubber supply that the United States might have had to fall back on during the war if the German submarine campaign had been entirely successful in isolating allied countries, comes from plants which grow in soil adaptable to no other plants whatsoever. The announcement was made by Dr. John Campbell Merriam, professor of paleontology and historical geology in the University of California and chairman of the National Research council. The nature of the plants and the exact locality to which they are indigenous was not given out. "However," said Professor Merriam in his statement, "the university investigators succeeded in establishing the existence of a rubber supply at a time when the German submarine peril was at its height and when it was not impossible that the United States would be without rubber altogether unless a native supply could be found. "The question at that time was not how much it would cost to procure native rubber, but whether this country had within itself any adequate saved because, no matter what they bought, they paid nearly twice as much for it as they would have paid less than five years from now," said Smith. "Prices have risen more than 100 per cent since 1914. They will drop at least 50 per cent in the next few years and will eventually get back to the 1914 level. Now is the time to save." Smith, who is a successful financier, said: "We have high prices because of the expansion of credit and consequent inflation. We won't have low prices until the people contract the currency by saving." Save by investing in government securities. EAGLES FIGHT H. C. L. WITH $5,000,000 W. S. S. Fraternal Order Buys War Stamps to Check Waste and High Prices Washington—The Fraternal Order of Fagles, in convention at New Haven, Conn., has pledged itself to the purchase of $5,000,000 in War Savings Stamps. This action was taken as a means for the checking of national waste and extravagance and for the reduction of the high cost of living. News of the steps taken by the order was received today by William Mathei Lewis, Director of the Savings Division of the Treasury Department. After adopting resolutions endorsing the government thrift campaign as a movement for developing a national habit of saving and approving consistent investment in government savings securities, the Grand Merle subscribed for $2,500,600 in War Savings Stamps for distribution among members of the order. Assurances were received from subordinate Aeries that they would subscribe for an equal amount for the same purpose. Mr. Lewis immediately transmitted a message to the officers of the order expressing the tremendous appreciation of the Savings Division of their action in promoting the thrift movement. IN OUR OWN HANDS Solution of the financial crisis super-induced by the unjust cost of living is largely in the hands of the American people themselves, according to the United States Federal Reserve Board. In his letter to the Senate Committee on Banking and Finance, W. P. G. investigators succeeded in establishing the existence of a rubber supply at a time when the German submarine peril was at its height and when it was not impossible that the United States would be without rubber altogether unless a native supply could be found. "The question at that time was not how much it would cost to procure native rubber, but whether this country had within itself any adequate supply. Research of the University of California established the fact that such a supply did exist." Investigations now in progress are expected further to develop the results obtained already in the search for rubber-bearing plants in the United States. Professor Merriam declared. JAPS DERIDE OUR EFFORTS AT EXCLUSION Nipponese Paper Says they will Make Clean Sweep of all Our Laws. The following editorial from the "New World," a Japanese newspaper published in San Francisco, speaks for itself: "Our Japan must adopt a policy of wide-reaching and aggressive overseas emigration for the reason that vast numbers of European emigrants are about to pour forth and occupy the most desirable lands." Capt. H. E. Sayers of Pasadena, senior Secretary of the Russian Railway Corps, just returned from Siberia, is authority for the following statement: "It is said that the Japanese government will give bonuses to their colonists who raise big families in other countries and that a fund is being raised to purchase lands and business enterprises in the Americas and Russia." An editorial in a recent issue of the "Japanese-American," commenting upon the agitation to prevent their development on the Pacific Coast, says, among other things: "If any anxiety for the future is felt and it is desired to take precautions for perfect security, such persons ought to buy land at the present time.

In his letter to the Senate Committee on Banking and Finance, W. P. G. Harding, governor of the Federal Reserve Board, said: "Whether viewed from an economic or financial standpoint the remedy for the present situation is the same, namely to work and to save; work regularly and efficiently, in order to produce and distribute the largest possible volume of commodities, and to exercise economies in order that money, goods and services may be devoted primarily to the liquidation of debt and to the satisfaction of the demand for necessities, rather than to the indulgence in extravagance or the gratification of a desire for luxuries." America must both work and save. There are many ways to work but only one way to save. That is to save first and spend afterwards, to put aside the first dollar that comes in, not the last dollar that goes out. It was to make possible the saving of even the smallest sums and their safe investment that government Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates were offered to the American people. Students of economics declare that this country is on a magnificent prosperity debauch. Dealers in jewelry, expensive apparel and food delicacies throughout the country say the demand for their wares is unprecedented and that buyers do not care what they pay for them. Stop living up to your wages or salary. Save regularly and invest in War Savings Stamps. An editorial in a recent issue of the "Japanese-American," commenting upon the agitation to prevent their development on the Pacific Coast, says among other things: "If any anxiety for the future is felt and it is desired to take precautions for perfect security, such persons ought to buy land at the present time. Everyone knows that farming cannot be carried on without land. To go about from place to place working other people's lands under lease never can be permanently possible. And it will never enable us to lay foundations for permanent development. Therefore we must in some way immediately buy land and establish foundations which will not be shaken by poverty. And especially if we fear the outcome of the present anti-Japanese movement, the necessity of buying land is all the greater." We should abide undisturbed and work diligently at our callings. Even if the anti-Japanese schemes should be to some extent realized, we should make it our aim, without the least bit of agitation, to concentrate our efforts upon the single purpose of constructing foundations which cannot be shaken." The editor of the "New World" points with derision at the efforts of the California legislature to stay the land-grabbing of his race. The editorial is entitled "Japanese Should Cooperate and Advance," with a subcaption, "If We Hesitate the Bigots Will take Advantage." The editorial says, in part: "Even if photograph marriages should be prohibited we cannot be stopped from leaving our descendants on this American conti- DON'T BE LIKE ME Even if not a single Japanese woman comes it is impossible to prevent the seed of our great Yamato race from being sown on the American continent by marriages with Americans, with French, with Indians and with negroes; especially since there are already a hundred thousand Japanese here and five thousand children are born annually.

"Such a movement is deserving of the highest commendation. His Holiness therefore wishes it every success and gladly bestows the Apostolic blessing on all those who further the Catholic extension of the scout movement under the auspices of the ecclesiastical authorities." More than 500 inquiries as to organizing Boy Scout units, from Catholic parishes in every section of this country, have already been received by Mr. Slattery, who believes that, in solving the problem of his organization for taking care of young boys and providing for them wholesome and profitable diversion, the Boy Scouts meet the requirements better than any other organization that could be devised. Upon the initiative and under the auspices of the National Catholic War Council, nation-wide efforts are now being made to stimulate the enrollment of Catholic boys, under the Scouts' banner. NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the High School Board of Fullerton Union High School District has filed petitions with and addressed to the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange, State of California, accompanied by the sworn statement of the High School Principal of said High School District. Even if not a single Japanese woman comes it is impossible to prevent the seed of our great Yamato race from being sown on the American continent by marriages with Americans, with French, with Indians and with negroes; especially since there are already a hundred thousand Japanese here and five thousand children are born annually. Phelan and Inman cannot stop this great force. What stupidity! What ignorance of a mighty force! Again let us consider the land law. Supposing that the ideas of Phelan and Inman were carried out, and we Japanese were prohibited from owning or cultivating land. We would find some way to continue farming and making a good living as producers. If we cannot conveniently do so in California we shall go to other States and devise some plan. Even the laws of California are not forever unchangeable. The day will come when the real strength of the Japanese will make a clean-sweep of all such laws."

DIISQUALIFICATION REMOVED England's house of commons has adopted an amendment to the pending bill for the removal of sex disqualifications, permitting women to sit and vote in the House of Lords. The amendment was adopted by a vote of 171 to 84. CATHOLIC BOY SCOUTS Commending the new movement to extend Boy Scout units throughout all the Catholic parishes in the United States, a message from Pope Benedict was received at the headquarters of the National Catholic War Council in New York. Addressed to Michael J. Slattery, executive secretary and chairman of the Committee on Men's Activities of this organization, this communication from the Vatican reads as follows: "The Holy Father has learned with much interest and pleasure that steps NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the High School Board of Fullerton Union High School District has filed petitions with and addressed to the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange, State of California, accompanied by the sworn statement of the High School Principal of said High School District, concerning the attendance and residence of pupils attending said High School District, and which petitions are verified by the County Superintendent of Schools, said petitions being relative to the attendance of pupils from the following elementary school district, to-wit: Centralia Elementary School District, and the objects and purposes of which petitions being annexed to the said High School District the following elementary school district lying wholly within said County of Orange and contiguous to said High School District, to-wit: Centralia Elementary School District.

INCREASE IN PAYERS OF RENT REMARKABLE Senator Calder Points Out the Rapid Rise in Percentage of Non-Home Owners. Women of the country will be interested in a statement made recently by one of the Republican United States Senators from New York, Senator William Calder, concerning the home. "It has been pointed out that the United States has been at war on an average of once in twenty years since the constitution was adopted," said Senator Calder, "and that the object of each of these wars has been, in the last analysis, to preserve the home. Yet we find that to the majority of people in this country 'home' means little more than a dwelling for which they are paying rent." "This situation is bad enough, but what is worse is that the percentage of these rent payers is growing with each enumeration. In 1890 52 per cent of the people in America lived under the rental system; in 1910 the percentage had increased to 55, and probably the census of 1920 will show fully 60 per cent of the people will be classed as tenants. If it is the case today that but 40 people in every 100 live in their own homes and that the increase, small as it is, will continue, it is fair to conclude that in 25 years hence less than one-third of the population of the United States will be outside the tenant class."
