XMAS SALES OF U.S. SECURITIES WILL BE HEAVY Government Asks Everyone to Give War Savings Stamps as Gifts Sales of War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates to the banks of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, in anticipation of a heavy holiday demand of these securities for Christmas presents, are greater than for any period during 1919, according to reports of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank. As early as November 20 the bank reported shipment on that date of $60,200 worth of Treasury Savings Certificates, to eighteen banks of the district. This was the largest amount of these securities shipped on any one day up to that date since the close of the war. Conservative estimates predict that the demands of banks throughout the district will reach the quarter of a million dollar mark for the holiday trade in War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates. This is not taking into consideration tremendous demands looked for from the post-offices. The Government is making an intensive appeal to the people of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District to give War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates for Christmas presents, not only because America needs every cent she can get to finance her war debt of twenty-six billions of dollars, but also to stabilize prices as much as possible by cutting down the demand for luxuries. Most Christmas presents fall under the head of luxuries. MYSTERIOUS DISSAPPEARANCE FROM COUNTY HOSPITAL Man Suddenly Evaporates from Locked and Bolted Room. Called to the county hospital by one of the most startling mysteries reported from there in the history of the institution, Under Sheriff Jack Iman investigated the circumstances surrounding the escape, from a securely locked and bolted room in the psychopathic ward, of a man describing himself as Fred Lamb, of Long Beach, who was arrested by City Marshal Ed French of Huntington Beach, following complaints that Lamb was mysteriously wandering about the country west of Wintersburg. Under Sheriff Iman and Constable Jesse Elliott went to Huntington Beach late Wednesday afternoon and brought Lamb to the county hospital. The man gave his address to the officers, and said he had been hunting places where he might be able to trap skunks. Iman and Elliott lodged Lamb in the psychopathic ward for safekeeping, as his case would have to be disposed of in Los Angeles county. After Lamb was locked up, Iman telephoned to Lamb's relatives at Long Beach. At aboct 11:30 o'clock a brother of the man arrived at the county hospital and asked Miss Hazel Swall, a nurse, to release Lamb. Miss Swall communicated with Iman, and was told to turn over Lamb to the brother. Miss Swall went to the room in which Lamb had been confined, and was startled to find that the room was empty. No trace of Lamb could WHO IS RESPORED MISUNDER Stephan Lauza Paris Matin, referent of the Senate to Paris just as it can says: "When in President comes proposal the Freeman thank you, our efforts sufficient for us."

The proceeding were taken in full American situation. The Government is making an intensive appeal to the people of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District to give War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates for Christmas presents, not only because America needs every cent she can get to finance her war debt of twenty-six billions of dollars, but also to stabilize prices as much as possible by cutting down the demand for luxuries. Most Christmas presents fall under the head of luxuries. In a letter to the banks of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District on the subject, Governor John U. Calkins of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank said: "The Christmas holidays are almost upon us. Everything points to a tremendous outlay of money in the purchase of holiday gifts, the greater portion of which I think I am safe in saying will be luxuries. The present situation demands not that more money be spent in the purchase of luxuries, but that we curtail as much as possible, with the consequent beneficial contraction of credit." Therefore, I appeal to you as a fellow banker to do everything within your power to stimulate the purchase and giving of War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates as Christmas presents in place of the usual needless end expensive gifts. It seems to me that the responsibility of leading men's minds along the ways of thrift and simple living rests to a great extent upon the bankers of the country and in asking you to push the sales of Treasury securities during the Christmas holidays, I am asking you only to take advantage of an opportunity to meet this responsibility." In addition, Christmas posters carrying an appeal to give War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates for Christmas presents will be distributed throughout the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, and all banks have been asked to include a similar appeal in their advertising.

Long Beach. At about 11:30 o'clock a brother of the man arrived at the county hospital and asked Miss Hazel Swall, a nurse, to release Lamb. Miss Swall communicated with Iman, and was told to turn over Lamb to the brother. Miss Swall went to the room in which Lamb had been confined, and was startled to find that the room was empty. No trace of Lamb could be found. The bars of the windows were all in place and the door was securely locked. The only possible outlet through which Lamb could have effected his escape was through an opening to a ventilator. Miss Syall told Iman, though the bars covering the opening were too close together to allow the passage of a man's body. The bars had not been disturbed. FOX ANNOYED BY TOO MANY WOMEN Gay Lothario Object of Numerous Affections. George A. Fox, the "love artist" sentenced to San Quentin for the embezzlement from Mrs. Anna G. Walters of $5106.25 by honeysuckle terms and other wiles of a lover, was met in San Francisco by his wife and two other women, unacquainted with her, when he reached San Francisco in custody of Deputy Sheriffs Joe Nolan and H. Dennison. After being allowed a short visit with them he was taken to the State penitentiary to serve his term. Fox was visiting a woman of mystery in the county jail a few minutes before he got orders to leave Tuesday. She had come out here from Pennsylvania to furnish him $100,000; if necessary, to appeal his case to the United States Supreme Court. Just after she left the jail they gave him rush orders to pack up and leave on the owl train. His wife followed him on the Lark at 8 p.m., and when she reached the station found two other women waiting for him. One of the other women told Mrs. FoFx her name was Fox, too.

PLAN TO HELP ACCUSED Guilty Will Have Chance to Invest Money Instead of Paying Fines Superior Court and Police Judges of San Francisco have adopted the United States Government Thrift and War Savings Stamps as an aid in promoting a better citizenship among those persons coming before them daily accused of misdemeanor, transgressions of the law. "Upon the thesis that a thrifty man is better citizen and that many of our economicills and much of our present day social unrest are due directly to thriftlessness," Judge T. I. Fitzpatrick, presiding judge of the Police Court, wrote, "I shall be glad to assist in a movement in this direction, keeping in mind, however, at all times, the provisions of the charter of the city and county." Instead of fining persons guilty of minor infractions of the law and where a judge has it in his discretion to fine or free the defendant, the jurists propose to give the accused a chance to help himself and his government and cultivate the habit of saving by purchasing the War Savings Stamps. In cases of marital infidelity, too, where it is now the practice to fine or lecture the persons before the court, the defendants will be given an alternative of investment in Government securities. One condition will always be attached—that the defendant keep the securities until maturity. In this way the San Francisco bench hopes to lead the thriftless into the ways of thrift and sound living with the resultant—better Americanism and better citizenship. BUY W. S. B.

LOSE DAMAGE SUIT The City of Fullerton will not have to dig down in the municipal sock and produce $100,300 to pay damages in suits brought by R. B. Connor and wife, Elizabeth Connor, for alleged damages sustained by the latter some time last spring as the result of an excavation on West Amerige, where a tree had been removed. Connor brought suit for $50,000 and his wife for a total of $50,300. The suits were filed in Riverside county. City Attorney E. J. Marks filed a demurrer to the suits and arguments on the demurrer were to have been heard on Monday, but Attorney Marks was notified by telephone that D. R. Chaplin, of Riverside, attorney for the plaintiff, had made a motion that the demurrer be sustained on the grounds that there was no cause for action and the case was dismissed. By moving to dismiss the case attorney for plaintiffs can file new suits if he desires, whereas had the demurrer been sustained by the court he would have had to take an appeal should he wish to continue the fight for damages. ANAHEIM GAZETTE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MISUNDERSTANDING. Stephan Lauzanne, writing in the Paris Matin, referring to the failure of the Senate to accept the treaty of Paris just as it came from its makers, says: "When in 1922 a Republican President comes forth with a treaty proposal the French will say: 'No, thank you, our experience in 1919 is sufficient for us.' What sort of a treaty proposal does Mr. Lauzanne think a Republican President will wish to offer France in 1922? What sort of a treaty between the United States and France is conceivable whereby this country gives more than it gets? That being the case, what country will be the loser if a Republican President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, offers a treaty to France and France refuses? It is no fault of the American people or the American Senate that the treaty makers at Paris, both foreign and domestic, chose to proceed either in ignorance or defiance of the American Constitution, which gives to the representatives of the people in the Senate a hand in treaty making. On March 4th, 1919, the world was formally notified by a document to which the signatures of 39 senators were attached, that it was the desire of the American people that the treaty and covenant should be separated, and that without changes the program agreed on at Paris would not be accepted by the Senate. The proceedings thereafter at Paris were taken in full knowledge of the American situation; evidently with to some isolated garage and there the "dirty work" is done. The club's theft bureau is particularly anxious at this time to hear of all private garages which are rented to strangers, and owners are requested to call up a club branch office or the headquarters and make such a report so that stolen cars may be traced in this way during the winter. In the summer time, the stripping work is carried on upon isolated roads, but winter weather usually forbids the practice. JAPANESE FORAGE INTRODUCED Kudzu, a native forage crop of Japan, has been successfully introduced into the United States, and according to specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, it is a forage which merits extensive use on the heavy clay hillsides and otherwise neglected land of the Southern states. Kudzu prospers in the eastern part of the United States, particularly southward, attaining luxurious growth where the summers are warm and moist. It is largely used for ornamental purposes in most of the southern states, the decorative vines often climbing to a height of 60 feet or more. The Japanese utilize kudzu on rough, rocky hillsides which are too steep to be cultivated, the fiber of the stems being used to make "grass cloth," an article of commerce, while portmanteaus are also manufactured from this fiber. The kudzu roots are rich in starch, which is used extensively in making cakes and noodles. They also make hay from the kudzu vine, it be winter season, for peas are a cool weather crop and will not produce good results except the roots are kept cool. It matters little how hot the air if only the soil is cool and moist and in a finely pulverized condition. Growers of fancy sweet peas trench three feet deep in their preparation of the soil. If you have never tried a bed or garden of native California wild flowers you should have one and sow the seeds at once. They are a magnificent lot, those grown from a 25 cent package of mixed seeds. The writer has grown a patch 50 feet square from an ounce of seeds and had 22 varieties in bloom. If you will do nothing more in this line than sow California poppies in a variety of colors you will still have a flower garden that will be a joy in blossom time. Other seeds to plant now are: Alyssum, calendula, candytuft, calliopsis, forget-me-not, mignonette, nemophila (baby blue eyes), popies, pansy, salpiglossis, snapdragon, stock, and a host of others. As a rule people are too timid in sowing seeds. Nearly all common annuals will endure a California winter. Roses of all garden flowers are the most popular so that everyone will doubtless plant some new ones this season, for new sorts of great merit originate each year. Now is the time to plant them, and get bare rooted plants, for these rae better than those in pots, cans, boxes, or sacks. Planted now they will fairly jump into life if the grower had properly dried them off before digging. Pansies are lots of trouble but then they are such dear little things. Like notified by a document to which the signatures of 39 senators were attached, that it was the desire of the American people that the treaty and covenant should be separated, and that without changes the program agreed on at Paris would not be accepted by the Senate. The proceedings thereafter at Paris were taken in full knowledge of the American situation; evidently with the idea that a compact disagreeable to the American people could be rammed down the throats of the citizenship of America. But Americans are freemen; they are not mere European colonials, and Americans have spoken. In any future arrangements between Europe and the United States, the advice and consent of the American people and of the American Senate must be sought. The statement that any European nation is disinclined to enter into future alliances with the United States merely amounts to a declaration that the American people are not to be asked to make further sacrifices in behalf of the rest of the world. This is not especially terrifying. The first matter to come up under this head will be the treaty under which this country is called upon to agree to come to the defense of France should Germany again attack her. The need for such an alliance is based entirely upon the heed given by the allies to President Wilson's request that the war be stopped without a military decision, leaving Germany in the possession of both the will and the means to return to the conflict. The embarassment of the European diplomats is due entirely to their inability to distinguish between the will of President Wilson and the will of the American people. For this they, and not the American people, are responsible. PRIVATE GARAGES USED BY AUTOMOBILE THIEVES Owners are Urged to be Cautious in Renting to Strangers. Motor thieves are being driven to shelter by the winter weather and are using private garages throughout Southern California in which to strip tires often pruning to a height of 6 feet or more. The Japanese utilize kudzu on rough, rocky hillsides which are too steep to be cultivated, the fiber of the stems being used to make "grass cloth," an article of commerce, while portmanteaus are also manufactured from this fiber. The kudzu roots are rich in starch, which is used extensively in making cakes and noodles. They also make hay from the kudzu vine, being a great delicacy for sick horses, as they will eat the kudzu readily when they refuse other feed. Fields in northern Florida, when well established, have yielded three cuttings of hay a season and as high as 10 tons an acre. Under favorable conditions kudzu is a profitable crop, notwithstanding the fact that its perennial nature does not permit of its being used in rotation. THIS IS THE SEASON TO PLANT FLOWERS Ornamental Gardens Should Be Rejuvenated in December. The "stern December" of other lands does not apply to California for in a normal season the rains have wakened the country into life and action and as Christmas approaches both garden and the wild hillside are bountiful clothed with floral beauty. December is the month wherein the autumn planted flowers bloom and seeds, bulbs, and plants for spring blossoms are planted, writes Ernest Braunton in the Cultivator. It is therefore a time of transformation. Just as we are with the year on the closing day—"off with the old on with the new"—so is it in gardening. As the flowers are picked or fade with age, the plants should be pulled up and burned or composted, the soil enriched and thoroughly worked over and allowed to lie in a rough state for at least a few days so that the sun and wind and air may have a chance to aerate it for soil must breathe in order to stay "live" and be purified. Beds that are not to be planted until spring may also be now prepared and allowed to lie in a rough state until needed for doubtless plant some new ones this season, for new sorts of great merit originate each year. Now is the time to plant them, and get bare rooted plants, for these rae better than those in pots, cans, boxes, or sacks. Planted now they will fairly jump into life if the grower had properly dried them off before digging. Pansies are lots of trouble but then they are such dear little things. Like babies, they repay one for all the care lavished upon them. Pansies need a rich, free soil that is as well mixed and as well pulverized as it can be made. The roots are fine as silk floss and must be kept cool and moist. Therefore a carefully placed fine mulch after planting is the proper soil finish. All hardy plants of what-soever sorts may be put out in December, and especially is this true of all plants deciduous. If you are short of garden space, take up and store clumps of caladiums, cannas, cyperus, papyrus, chrysanthemums, etc. You will not need the 'mums for some time but do not allow them to get dry. BIG ORDER FROM ALASKA Alaska has a big order for Congress to fill. Recently a bi-monthly bulletin issued by the territorial government's bureau of publicity drew up a list of things the northern territory asks Congress to do. The list follows: Restore the national forests to the public domain or, at least, allow the establishment of industry therein. The pulp industry is anxious to start, but is kept out. Open up the oil lands to exploitation and exploration. Extend the coal 'ays of the United States to Alaska. Give the territory jurisdiction over the fisheries, game and fur-bearing animals. Consolidate all government authority in one executive, thereby eliminating conflicting jurisdiction. Remove the restriction on export of birch timber from the public domain. Establish a constabulary.

Motor thieves are being driven to shelter by the winter weather and are using private garages throughout Southern California in which to strip and prepare stolen cars for market. This announcement has been made by the theft bureau of the Antimobile Club of Southern California following an investigation into the alleged mysterious and total disappearance of a number of cars reported stolen recently in the southern counties and of which no trace could apparently be obtained. Private garage owners, while not really shielding the activities of the thieving gangs are aiding them materially and unconsciously in their work by not reporting to the club's theft bureau or the police the renting of the garages to strangers for "storage" purposes, it is declared. A well dressed thief will approach the owner of an unused garage in a residential neighborhood saying that he wishes to rent the space for some repair work on his car. Then, having obtained the garage his confederates will steal a car, leave it in the garage until the affair has blown over, when it will be stripped and its parts carted away to market. Not only is this custom being carried on in the city, but it is also true in the rural districts. Cars stolen in Los Angeles and other urban centers are often driven out into the country pulled up and burned or composted, the soil enriched and thoroughly worked over and allowed to lie in a rough state for at least a few days so that the sun and wind and air may have a chance to aerate it for soil must breathe in order to stay "live" and be purified. Beds that are not to be planted until spring may also be now prepared and allowed to lie in a rough state until needed for crops. This is the time for bulb planting and bulb harvesting, for dahlias and others that have run their season's course should be taken up and stored in a dry cool place until needed. Little care need be given, yet you wish to keep them in splendid condition put the min boxes and cover with fine damp sand. The finer the sand the more slowly yill it dry out and the more it excludes the air. As the sand dries the bulbs cure slowly, reserving all their vitality. Allow them to remain in the dry sand, without disturbance, until planting season. If your storage place is dry enough, dahlia bulbs may be held over for fall planting without reduction of vitality. December is the last month in which you should plant Dutch or Holland bulbs. Later plantings seldom bring as good results. Put in anemone, cyclamen, daffodil, freesia, gladiolus (dwarf), hyacinth, ixia (Spanish), lily, Montbretia, narcissus, ranunculus, and aparaxis. If you wish good spring blooms put these bulbs in at once, in well stirred soil, and if possible put a manure mulch on top. Water through this and do not cultivate.

The Placentia-Richfield Central Oil Company is located in an oil field where the development is increasing so rapidly that a map made one month ago is obsolete, and it has become necessary to make a new one to show the many changes. The largest oil companies in this country are operating in this field on a large scale and the trained geologists in their employ are the best that money can hire, which assures the investor of the safety of this proven field. This company has holdings on the ridge between a well standing in cement on the west and one down nearly to cementing depth on the east. It also has acreage near Richfield Station, about 260 rods from one of the big gushers which has recently come in. Other wells are expected to come in soon, which will cause our stock to advance materially.
