Better prices | Gradual but steady improvement has been noted in the last week in busi- ness conditions in this territory. Holiday trade promises to be excel- lent, according to retall dealers. Real lestate activity is increasing and the growth of mortgage loams. has been healthy. Federal reserve bank fig- ures note a decided improvement in the transactions over those of a week ago, although the volume of credits is still well below that of last year. The attitude of the general public as to business conditions Is indicated ¢ the action of Merced county in voting $12,000,000 in bonds, for a county-wide_irrigation system. Mer- ced county is in the early sweet po- tato and tomato section and the pro- | posed system of irrigation will put about 180,000 acres under cultivation. Real estate prices in_this city are holding firm and in the downtown ! section they- are advancing. Prices for country property are well below |the high levels of a year ago, al- | though they are still higher than the general average for the last five vears. The lower level of prices for farm products has diminished the zeal of city dwellers to get back to the land. A flood of money still continues to pour in for investment in high-grade investment securities, both bonds and stocks. Many Added to Pay Rolls; Texas Jobbers Are Active | BY JAMES R.

This is usually the first stage of Pyorrhea —an insidious disease of the gums'that destroys the teeth and undermines bodily health. Gradually the gums become spongy. They inflame, then- shrink, thus exposing the unenameled tooth-base to the rav- ages of decay. Tiny openings in the gums form gateways for disease germs to enter the system.

It is gold, and will remain gold as long as the United States is on a zold basis. 1f now, the gold is. u think is per- vice is the basis enables us to tes You might a This gold which y forming no us of our currenc; have the soundest curremcy in the world. But as it is cum- bersome to carry arsund and it may be made the basis of 21; times in federal reserve notes or thr times its nominal amount in deposits, necessity has caused this gold dur- ing the last few years to gravitate to and remain in the federal reserve banks. By concentrating our great gold store in the federal reserve banks we are in position to expand our cur- rency to meet the demands of trade This would not be the case if the yellow metal passed from hand to hand. Concentrating gold in a cen- tral bank has the same effectiveness as the mobilization of an army under one leadership. Federal reserve notes are redeem- able in gold. If you have a $20 fed- eral reserv note you can present it at a federal resérve bank and get gold for it. But there is no reason why you should demand gold. Paper money has the same purchasing pow- er as gold has in this country. In Germany, Russia, Poland and Austria, for instance, paper has no stable value because they have no adequate gold reserve. —_— WATCH SHIPS FOR LIQUOR Prohibition Officers to Act as “Re- ception Committee.” NEW YORK, November 28.—Every vessel entering New York harbor from foreign ports will be met hereafter by a “reception committee,” detailed from the customs headquarters, which will make a thorough search for con- traband liquor before the passengers are permitted to land. This line of action has been decided up by government officials as a result of the recent uncovering of an alleged Whisky ring, in which employes of steamships _and passengers, working “With bootleggers on land, were smuggling large quantities of liquor into - the country. Their activities were made possible, it is said, by the lapse of time of one to two days be- tween the vessels' arrival and the search by customs officials. Yesterday, the gangplank of the steamer Lapland of the Red Star line was barely down before a “hootch squad” was on board the vessel and {at work searching the ship from the {captain’s cabin to the smallest com- partment. No contraband liquor was found. —— INJURED BY ORDER. Bumanians Lose Fortunes as Banks Refuse to Cash Foreign Checks. Special Cable to The Star and the Chicago Dsily News. Copyright, 1921. VIENNA, Austria, November 26.— The order issued by the Rumanian government to the banks to cease foreign payments has caused much hardship to Rumanian business men who have made contracts and are unable to mect the payments becausr of the refusal of the banks to cash checks from other countries. Some of the merchants and others have Jost fortunes. The leu (monentary unit normally worth 19.3 cents) is no longer quoted on the exchanges and is threatened with further depreci- ation. z One additional cause of the mon- etary panic was the confusion of the Banca Natiunel, which failed, with the nationgl bank of Ru.?lh. which s perfectly -flmfl. - e
