Hundred* of benks over the Elev-
enth Federal .District have already
invested in the new $1,000 Registered
Treasury Savings Certificates and
more Orders for them are being re-
ceived every day by the Federal Re-
serve Bank at Dallas. Bankers are
practically unanimous in declaring
these new $100 and $1,000 Registered
Treasury Savings Certificates the
best securities the Government has
ever offered.
Individuals, corporations, cities,
counties and school districts are also
buying these Registered Certificates
in large numbers. The State of Texas
was one of the first purchasers, State
Treasurer John W. Baker getting $600
worth for each of two State funds.
The law does not permit more than
$1,000 (worth, maturity value), to be
held in any one name, but each mem-
ber of a family or firm, each director
in a bank or corporation may hold
that amount.*
The $100 Certificates may be pur-
chased at all first and second class
postoffices and from all banks and
trust companies, while the $1,000
Certificates are obtainable from banks
and trust companies only. Each Cer-^,
tificate is registered in the buyer’s
name when issued and the buyer’s
name is also inscribed on the face of
the Certificate.
>3earing interest at 4 per cent,-com-
pound every 90 days, and maturing
January 1, 1924, these Registered
Treasury Savings Certificates form an
ideal investment. They are exempt
from taxation, insured by the Gov-
Residence loti in the Carter. Patterson and '
Millikan Heights additions. ,
Vary cheap and on long time.

Austin, Texas, Sept. 1.—Aggressive
enforcement of the new weights and
measures law, passed by the regular
session of the thirty-sixth legislature,
began today under supervision of the
newly created Bureau of Weights and
Measures. Appropriations for this
bureau J|pcame available today.
Eight inspectors have been selected
by F. C. Weinert, commissioner of
weights and measures, and they have
just completed-a four day school of
instrtglion, in which F. Reichmann,
former supervisor of the weights and i
measures for New York, instruced
them.
Mr. Reichmann told of the various
ways in which unscrupulous dealers
tamper with Beales and measures and
gave detailed instructions on the de-
tection of these frauds. Representa-
tives of various scale and measure
manufacturing concerns were also
here and demonstrated their appara-
tus before the inspectors.
In connection with the inspection
campaign, the bureau is launching an
educational campaign. In line with
this a bulletin containing a copy of
the new law and suggestions as to
how housekeepers may co-operate
with the bureau in eliminating the
frauds has been compiled by Miss
Willie B. Dyer, and the bureau is
distributing it over Texas. The bul-
letin goes into details of the rights
of the customer under the new law,
and the commissioner says that its
enforcement depends largely upon the
co-operation of the house-wife.
In announcing this campaign, Mr.
Weinert said that it has been found
that a large per centage of the weigh-
ing and measuring devices of Texas
are inaccurate, and that people of the
state lose millions of dollars annual-
ly through short weights and meas-
ures. A letter recently received by
the bureau says that 90 per cent of
the scales in one Texas city are in-
correct.
The new law places city weight
and measure inspectors under the ju-
risdiction of the state bureau, and

NEW FISCAL YEAR TODAY.
By Aaaoclateq °reaa.
Austin, Texas, Sept. 1.—The new
Texas fiscal year begins today, and
1.919-20 is its official designation.
With the beginning of the new year
appropriations made by the last legis-
lature became available, and new
equipment and buildings,' etc* provid-
ed for in tfte appropriation bills for
various departments and institutions
will begin to be installed.
New balances for various funds also
will be made in the treasury depart-
ment, and new activities provided for
jjuring the year will be launched.
Provisions for an extension of the
work of the health department have
been made. The bureau of weights
and measures goes into operation.
While on the other hand, the office
force of the Industrial Accident board
is considerably reduced, because their
appropriation was cut down.
A new clerk is added here, an in-
spector, secretary or stenographer
there, and the gear of the state ma-
chinery is tightened to carry the in-
creased load that comes with growth
of the state. Pet plans of depart-
ment heads, which have been held
in abeyance by dwindling postage or
other expense funds, are being re-
vived, and the spirit of the new year,
financially speaking, is noticeable in
the capitol.

Take Active Part In Fight
Against High Living Cost.
Fight the high cost of living by
avoiding waste, buying carefully, sav-
ing what you can and investing this
saving in Registered Treasury Sav-
ngs Certificates or War Savings
Stamps. Work and save! This is
doubly wise at this time as not only
is the money being saved and put to
work making interest, but dollars
with low purchasing power now are
being invested with a certainty that
they will buy more later on.
The dollar today will buy less in
groceries, clothing and other necessi-
ties thar at any time since the Civil
War. There is every indication, how-
ever, that prices will be more normal
in a few years. The dollars invested
in these new Registered Treasury
Savings Certificates which have just
been issued by the U. S. Government,
or War Savings Stamps will not only
buy more five years from now, but
will bring the interest earned with
them when returned to their owners.
Save all yon can and put the dollars
you save to work for you. You will
find yon are making good progress
this way in giving old “H. C. L.” his
death blow.

several inspectors from
cities were here to listen to lectures
by Dr. Reichmann. Mr. Weinert says
that he expects local men to give a
new impetus to their work under the
new act, and he is optimistic concern-
ing the results.
Mr. Weinert points to the opera-
tion- of the pure food and drug com-
mission as an example of what he
hopes to accomplish. At its inception
this commission was forced to ex-
tensive educational work, and convic-
tions upon testimony of its inspectors
were hard to obtain. But results of
the work gradually became more ap-
parent, and now the supervision of
the commission is a very considerable
factor to be considered by a dishon-
est dealer who is adulterating foods
