EL PASO, Texas, Jan. 8.—Coopera
tion among the Chinese restaurant
owners in the food conservation cam
paign has been one of the surprises
of the Hoover campaign. A large
number of restaurants here are own
ed and operated exclusively by Chin
ese. They met and pledged their sup
ort of the food conservation program
as outlined by the Hoover commis
sion.
These restaurant owners have com
plied to the letter with every request
from the national food commission.
They rigidly observe the meatless and
wheatless days, refusing to serve even
pastry containing flour on wheatless
days nor hash on meatless days.
In answer to requests for these pro
hibited articles, when the campaign
first started, the Chinese informed
their customers they could eat else
where if they did not care to obey the
rule and they insist they are doing
their part to win the war for the al
Jies. * if)IP
SPOKANE, Jan. 8.—Loans made by
the Spokane land bank to date total
about $5,500,000. Loans were not made
during the first two or three months of
the bank’s existence, as the time was
devoted to organization work. It is
expected that loans made during De
cember will total $2,000,000. The bank
has been organized for eight months.
Salaries and other expenses of the
bank for the first year of its existence
will he about $129,000, according to
estimates of officials, who figure that i
the earnings in that time will not be'
more than $15,000. Daniel G. O’Shea J
president of the bank, says however, ^
that the institution eventually will be'
self sustaining, although not for a long
| time.
