GOOD RECORD
OFWESTINSALE
OF WAR STAMPS
WASHINGTON, April 8—The 12th
Federal Reserve district, embracing
the seven states and territories of the
far West, ranked second in per capita
investment in thrift and war savings
stamps and treasury savings cetifi
cates during 1919, according to a re
port of the savings division of the
treasury department. The Fourth dis
trict, with headquarters at Cleveland,
was first.
The per capita investment in the
government’s thrift securities in the
Twelfth district, made up of the states
of California, Oregon, Washington,
Utah, Idaho, Nevada and part of Ari
zona, was $1.07. The total cash in
vestment was $7,314,442. The Fourth
district, comprising Ohio, Northeast
ern Kentucky and Western Pennsyl
vania, outstripped all of the Federal
Reserve districts by 100 per cent and
more. Their per capita investment
was $2.14 and the cash total $17,
331,597.
The total sales throughout the unit
ed States were more than $134,000,000,
a tremendous peace-time contribution
io the working capital of the United
States, and without doubt the most ef
fective attack on high prices, unspec
tacular as it was. Officials of the gov
ernment savings organization are con
fident that the 1920 investment of the
public in thrift and war savings stamps
and treasury savings certificates, the
two latter carrying 4 per cent interest
compounded every three months and
maturing in five years, will exceed the
1919 sales. Hysterical conditions im
mediately following the close of the
war handicapped the thrift movement
last year.
The government savings organiza
tion for each Federal Reserve district
operates under the supervision and in
'connection with the Federal Reserve
Bank of the district. Compared with
the thrift organization during the war,
in most districts only a skeleton organ
ization remains to carry on the move
r
ment during peace. Ail government
savings organizations art working
through schools, churches, fraternal or
ganizations, women’s clubs, industrial
organizations and labor unions. Ex
pensive, flamboyant war-time drives
and the like have been discarded in
the thrift movement, and a steady, in
telligent effort substituted through the
above channels, with the help of far
visioned and patriotic newspaper edi
tors, who feel that in the wake of the
thrift movement lies great good for
America.

VIVIAN AGAIN TONIGHT
AND THE BIG CIRCUS
TOMORROW AT EMPRESS
For 'the last time tonight Vivian
Martin will be seen at the Empress
in “Unclaimed Goods,” an exciting
Western drama. “Reilly’s Wash Day,”
a real knockout of a comedy, two reels
of the fastest fun ever put on the
screen, will round out the program.
Tomorrow the big circus comes to
town—Fred Stone in “Under the Top.”
Who is Fred Stone? The famous
“india rubber man,” who can turn
himself iuside out and scratch his
right ear with his left big toe. He
created the role of the “Scarecrow” in
“The Wizard of Oz,” and in succeed
ing musical comedies, “The Red Mill,”
“the Old Town,” “Chin-Chin” and
“Jack o’ Lantern,” his remarkable im
personations gained him the title of
king of comedians. Now he has fallen
victim to the screen, and in a big cir
cus picture, “Under the Top,” he does
all of the wonderful stunts that made
him famous on the stage.
ALASKA SEALS NET
. MILLION DOLLARS
TO GOVERNMENT
Secretary of Commerce Alexander
has announced that 9,100 dressed, dyed
and machined fur seal skins from the
take of 1918 on the Pribilof islands,
Alaska, were sold at the public auction
held in the International Fur Ex
change, St. Louis, on February 2.
These skins commanded the highest
prices ever paid, one lot bringing $177
apiece. Numerous other lots sold for
over $170 each, the average being
$140.97 each, an advance of $49.63, or
about 55 per cent, over the previous
sale held last September.
More than six hundred buyers, rep
resenting ten countries, attended the
recent sale, which netted the United
States $1,096,833.23.
RUMORED RESIGNATION
OF WILLIAM C. EDES
While not publicly announced, the
rumor is current that William C.
Edes, former chairman of the Alaskan
engineering commission, who was suc
ceeded by Colonel Frederick Mears,
has resigned the position of consult
ing engineer for the commission.
M. Edes has been a victim of poor
health for some time past, and this
was the reason for his retirement as
chairman. He was retained as a mem
ber of the Alaskan engineering com
mission in the capacity of Consulting
i engineer.
