Calkins of the Federal Reserve bank of San Francisco announced the receipt of a telegram from the secretary of the treasury offering approximately a $100,000,000 issue of Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness, carrying five and one-half per cent interest and running for six months between the dates of May 17 and November 15. This is the highest interest yield yet offered on Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness. The last issue acrreid an interest rate of five and one-quarter per cent. The quota of the twelfth federal reserve district, Governor Calkins said, is $7,060,000. The amount of certificates offered will be approximately $100,000,000. Subscriptions will be closed without notice. Denominations of the certificates will range from $500 to $100,000. Letters to county treasures throughout the Twelfth federal reserve district, setting forth the admantages presented by the certificates for short term investment of county funds, have been sent out by the Federal Reserve bank. for circulation: The eagle ($10), half eagle ($5), quarter eagle ($2.50), the dollar, the "disme" (old spelling for dime), half disme, (5 cents), the cent, and the half cent. Double eagles came into being in 1849, the year of the gold rush to California. In 1851, a new coin, the 3-cent piece, three-quarter silver and one-quarter copper, was introduced, and two years later the $3 gold piece came into being. In 1857, they dropped the ½-cent, but minted a new piece, a 2-cent coin, in 1864. In 1865, the old 3-cent piece was dropped, a new 3-cent piece, without any silver in it, was coined. It was made of copper and nickel. In the same year the old familiar motto, "In God We Trust," was ordered by congress to be placed on certain coins of the realm. It is still there. The nickel of today came into being in 1866. In 1876 congress overhauled the entire coinage system, and decided upon the following coins: All the gold coins as they now stand; silver coins, the dollar, half-dollar; quarter and dime; minor coins, the 5, 3 and 1-cent pieces. The 5 and 3-cent coins were made of copper and nickel, and the cent was of the humbler composition of copper, tin and zinc. Since that time the 3-cent piece has fallen by the wayside.

Up to this year th CORSET USEFUL AS WELL AS ORNAMENTAL Ways of the metropolitan bootleger may be devious but the border booze-runner excels him. Everything from a hot water bottle to an attractive woman and a corset is used by him who would evade Uncle Sam's watchful guards on the line between the United States and Mexico. Automobiles with auxiliary tanks and similar devices are used now and then, customs inspectors find, but the booze runner who has the glory and good name of his profession at heart prefers a more artistic plan. Recently at Nogales a sale of hot water bottles was held by the government to dispose of the stock accumulated. The hot water bottle as a medium for liquor smuggling, usually tries to cross the line concealed beneath a woman's skirt. Often it serves as a bit of padding to alter the lines and curves of the figure. Sixty quarts of liquor were recently removed from a compartment ingeniously built beneath the running board of an automobile. But the prize-winning device since prohibition became effective was the overly corseted woman. A discerning inspector became interested when the woman of stunning figure displayed a surprising stiffness and lack of grace when she seated herself on a bench. An inspectress was summoned and told to make a hasty investigation to determine the cause of the woman's lack of elasticity. Ten minutes later the inspectress produced the cause—a steel corset, cast to sylish lines. It was an inch thick, and hollow, and had a spigot attached. Between its walls was carried a little over a gallon of whiskey. "We catch these persons largely through hunches," an inspector said. "They generally betray themselves. They are too nervous or not nervous enough, or are in too big a hurry or there is something unusual about them." "Yes, this is one job where it is necessary to notice closely how a lady carries herself and to determine whether her dress molds over her own curves or those of a water bottle or something."

"and it is to impress the canyons belong owners of automobiles to them to keep signs which are to eat tables and also be constant reminders yons are not places." It grows like asparagus, the new plants forming from the original roots. The bamboo sprout shoots up at the incredible rate of a foot a day, and when mature has a stem 4 inches in diameter and 50 feet high. It requires no cultivation. The grown timber has an infinite number of industrial uses owing to the light composition of the wood and its long, tough fibers. It can be used for barrel hoops, ladders, trellises, etc. It is a valuable crop. In 1902 the leading Japanese growers estimated an annual profit of $50 an acre from the sale of the edible sprouts and grown timber. Present conditions would warrant a much larger profit. An acre of bamboo will produce about 1,000 edible shoots each spring and will continue the production for 40 or 50 years without being renewed. More general introduction is urged for the South Atlantic, Gulf and Southern Pacific states where conditions for bamboo culture are favorable. NEW COIN PROPOSED Seven and eight-cent pieces are proposed as a method of helping the over-worked nickel and its poor relation, the penny, in these days when so many things that used to cost a nickel have jumped two or three cents in price. Senator Frelinghuysen who sponsored the bill in the congress, thinks the new coins would do away with much making of change. It has been so long since Americans have known anything but the nickel and the penny, in the smallest change line, that it might be hard to get used to the new coins, should they be adopted. In fact the United States has as few coins now as at the beginning of its existence. In 1792 congress authorized the following coins: They generally betray themselves. They are too nervous or not nervous enough, or are in too big a hurry or there is something unusual about them. "Yes, this is one job where it is necessary to notice closely how a lady carries herself and to determine whether her dress molds over her own curves or those of a water bottle or something." Pupils of Miss West's room at the Central grammar school enjoyed a picnic in the Olive hills yesterday afternoon. More than thirty children made the trip in automobiles and other means of conveyances. They report a very pleasant outing. YOUR LIBERTY BOND The United States government borrowed from you to finance the war. You hold the government's promise to pay you back. This promise is called a Liberty bond or Victory note. On this bond is stated the conditions under which the government borrowed the money from you. For instance: If you hold a bond of the Third Liberty loan, it states that on April 15 and October 15 of each year until maturity, you will receive interest on the amount you paid for the bond. Other issues bear other rates of interest and other maturity dates, all of which are clearly stated on the bond. Now, if you keep your bond until the date when the government pays you in full for it, you do not need to worry if, in the meantime the price is low one day or high the next. You and Uncle Sam are living up to your agreement with other, and neither will lose by it. On the other hand, if you sell your Liberty bond now, you will find that the man you sell it to will not give NEW GRAND TUES. and WED.

A drastic campaign of wide-spread influence will be launched next week by state and club officials in the first concerted effort to make the canyons of Southern California look less like refuse "dumps" and more like pleasure grounds. Up to this year there has been very you a dollar for every dollar you paid for it. The price has been brought down because so many people are offering to sell their bonds. If the market is flooded with tomatoes, you can buy them cheap, but if every one is clamoring for tomatoes and there are few to be had, the price goes up. The same is true of Liberty bonds Short-sighted people are dumping them on the market, and wise ones are buying them. The best advice that can be given to the owner of a Liberty bond is this: Hold the bond you bought during the war; it is as safe and sound as the United states government itself. Buy as many more at the present low rates as you can afford. If you hold them to maturity, you are bound to make the difference between what they sell at now and their face value. You will also receive good interest on your investment. Fold on to your Liberty bond and buy more. ed by the bureau of sanitation representing the board of health, and the seriousness of it is drinking from the mountain streams which can easily be made dangerous by the throwing of waste matter in them. "Help keep the mountains clean," is the slogan adopted for the summer. Mrs. B. H.

Its territory is now divided between five school districts—Centralia, Loara, Magnolia, Savanna and Alamitos. If the mond attorneys reject the Alamitos bonds such a district will be formed and it is estimated the assessed valuation of the new district will be around $600,000. A delegation of Stanton citizens, headed by J. W. Cole, ex-school trustee of the Savanna district, and F. C. Beecher, city clerk of Stanton met with Mitchell and District Attorney West to go over the situation but no decision was reached, it being finally decided to await the decision of the "Pruning Trees."

A drastic campaign of wide-spread influence will be launched next week by state and club officials in the first concerted effort to make the canyons of Southern California look less like refuse "dumps" and more like pleasure grounds. Up to this year there has been very little attention paid to the sanitation of the canyon streams along the roads in the vacation areas, it is pointed out by the auto club. The number of people affected, however, is becoming so great that it has been thought necessary by the state board of health to start a systematic and extensive campaign looking toward the cleaning up of these places. Some of the canyons later in the summer resemble outfall sewers more than picnic places, say the authorities, and it is because motorists persist in throwing empty tin cans, bottle, and papers anywhere and everywhere, apparently with the idea that they are never coming back to the same place anyway, so why worry. Resorts in the vicinity of San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, San Diego and San Luis Obispo have been asked by state officials to cooperate in the campaign, and at the present time an official scout car is touring the highways of the mountains throughout the southern part of the state inspecting present conditions. Thousands of signs will be placed along the roads warning motorists that polluted water is as dangerous as a plague, and asking them not to throw refuse in the streams. "Motorists are often more thoughtless than criminal in their vacation periods," points out auto club officials, "and it is to impress upon them that the canyons belong particularly to the owners of automobiles so that it is up to them to keep them clean. The signs which are to be placed at the eating tables and along the roads will be constant reminders that the canyons are not places to dump rubbish." The campaign will be largely direct- "Help keep the mountains clean," is the slogan adopted for the summer. Mrs. B. H.

A MATTER OF ARITHMETIC County School Superintendent Mitchell says that when 1 and 30 are added correctly the result is 31, but he is beginning to wonder if this applies to the calendar. This doubt has been brought up in Mitchells mind because of the delay in an opinion as to the legality of the recently voted issue of $24,000 worth of Alamitos school bonds. The question is one involving a simple matter of addition, but the law firm of O'Melveny, Milikin and Tuller, bond experts of Los Angeles, does not want to decide it without considerable study. The question goes back to May 1, 1911, when the legislature passed a law under which all territory within an incorporated city must be in one school district. The law became effective in thirty days, or, as Mitchell believes, on May 31. May 31 is the subject which is delaying the opinion on the Alamitos bonds, for it was on that date the city of Stanton filed its articles of incorporation with the secretary of state. About one half of the Alamitos school district extends into the city of Stanton, and if the bond experts finally hold that the law regarding school districts was effective on May 31, the bonds will be rejected. Rejection of these bonds, however, is not expected to cause great disappointment at Alamitos.

These good old United States are not going to "pot," in the opinion of the men of big industrial life. This is what Metzger brings home from the foreign trade convention which he attended. The tenor of the speeches of the big men was that the United States is just starting upon an expansion of foreign trading that will tend to keep this nation in the front ranks and the factories of the country busy, the workmen with full dinner pails and the hum of business activity and success singing their sweet tunes ever and anon." BIG BUSINESS MEN SEE BRIGHT FUTURE J. C. Metzger is home from San Francisco, where he has been hobnobbing for several days with men representative of big business throughout the United States, whose optimism as to the future of the United States he has abosrbed in a wonderful degree and this, added to that which he had before he departed for the northern metropolis, makes him the big building the main framework of the tree pinched back. If done at this time all the strength of the plant will go toward a heavy vigorous growth in the remaining branches, which are to be permanent. Quite often, by the suppression of shoots undesirably placed, by merely pinching off the tips, growth can be induced where wanted. It is a good plan to go over the orchard about a month or six weeks after the first thinning in order to see that no new vigorous, undesirable shoots have arisen. In the suppression of the undesirably placed growths, two or three leaves should be left next to the trunk in order to shade it and thus prevent sunburn. Evaporation from the surface of these leaves cools the adjacent parts, thus opposing scald and drying out." The tenor of the speeches of the big men was that the United States is just starting upon an expansion of foreign trading that will tend to keep this nation in the front ranks and the factories of the country busy, the workmen with full dinner pails and the hum of business activity and success singing their sweet tunes ever and anon. The future for the Pacific coast, in the opinion of the giants of the industrial world, is bright, and was painted in vivid colors by many of the speakers. The foreign trade situation for this coast is developing and the trade with foreign countries and the Pacific coast is now but in its infancy. The importance of harbors to any community and to the growth of the foreign business of the Pacific coast in the future were pronounced features of some of the addresses of the group of optimists assembled at the convention and harbor facilities for handling the trade that is to be developed was particularly emphasized. This impressed Metzger because of the possibilities of securing one of the best and most complete landlocked harbors of the Pacific right here in Santa Ana's backyard—so to speak—Newport harbor.
