Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. CALIFORNIA'S ENVIABLE POSITION Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Oceanica, all the continents of the world, now are involved in the great war. Austria's opening shot against Servia brought all Europe into the struggle. Oceanica next took a hand when a detachment of British colonial troops from New Zeland captured German Ramao. Japan's ultimatum to Germany spread the struggle to Asia. The raising of an army in Canada to help the Allies placed the continent of America in the conflict. An uprising of Boers in South Africa grew in the Dark Continent, and now there is an extension of Asiatic and African influence caused by the actions of Turkey in attacking Russia on the Black Sea and England in Egypt. Perhaps we shall yet see the great battle at "a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon." It is not at all surprising that students of the Book of Revelations should claim that the words of John to the boven churches in Asia, written more than 1900 years ago, are now being fulfilled. These students have been sure all along that Turkey would take a hand and that words, spoken so long ago by "the great voice as of a trumpet," are now about to become effective. They are convinced that "the time is at hand." Whether this proves so or not the booming of guns at all points of the summer, hundreds of high school boys have been demonstrating their ability to grow crops on California soil. In many cases they have not only out distanced the yields of neighboring farmers, but have been able to demonstrate by their accurate balance sheets that careful culture pays big profits. For many years the college of agriculture of the University of California has conducted farm operations of interest to men, but it has remained for the last year to develop its work with boys along practical lines on their own farms. The students in the College of Agriculture have an agricultural club of their own. They felt that there were boys in the state who were too young to go to college, or who had missed the opportunity, but who would like to take part in growing contests with crops or animals and so demonstrate their spirit and ability for outdoor things. To this end the students in the college of agriculture started the formation of Boys' Agricultural Clubs in high schools, which have had a most tremendous growth in this first year. The boys are working on a real business basis, and the prize in every case goes, not to the one who makes the most gross yield, but to him who finishes with the biggest profit after cost of all operations has been paid. Every boy in each club is growing the same crop, but different clubs must grow different crops because of the highly divergent character of California agriculture and because of the enormous strength of territory which the state represents. Boys are growing beans, cantaloupes, corn, onions, peas; raising pigs; peanuts, potatoes, tomatoes, mixed vegetables, and almost every other variety of farm crop which can be grown in one year. In order to make the work a commercial proposition, each boy must have at least a quarter of an acre of any crop in which he is a contestant.

Whether this proves so or not the booming of guns at all points of the compass is a sound of dread portent for the entire world. Those guns are heard or the Pacific as well as on the Atlantic. Warships of the hostile nations have steamed not far of the coast of California in search of one another. Merchant vessels coming across from the Orient and Australia to the ports of California have to keep as keen a lookout for the cruisers of an enemy as do steamers on the Atlantic which fly the flags of one or other of the warring nations. Canada's warlike activities also bring the conflict very close to the United States. Her great Pacific fortress at Esquimalt is just across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Port Angeles in the state of Washington. Volunteers and militiamen of the Dominion patrol the frontier in some parts because they say they fear descents from some of those who sympathize with countries with which the mother country is at war. Another thing which brings the war directly home to the United States is the searching of our ships by the belligerent nations and the detention of some of them. Already some very difficult questions have arisen which have called for the nicest diplomacy to secure peaceful settlement. For the State Department at Washington this is a time of ternal vigilance. But while this country is called upon to be unceasingly watchful, it certainly has great cause for thankfulness that we are isolated by 3000 miles of water from the scene of the main conflict and that we are now rapidly coming into a position to be able to take advantage to the full of the demand for our products which is coming from the belligerents. Proud indeed may we be that we have emerged so well from the financial cataclysm which afflicted the world when the war broke out. The United States has readjusted itself to the changed conditions in a marvelously short time. California stands out particularly well. It is not much more to this point than the conhighly divergent character of California agriculture and because of the enormous strength of territory which the state represents. Boys are growing beans, cantaloupes, corn, onions, peas; raising pigs, peanuts, potatoes, tomatoes, mixed vegetables, and almost every other variety of farm crop which can be grown in one year. In order to make work a commercial proposition, each boy must have at least a quarter of an acre of any crop in which he is a contestant. Many of the boys, anxious to prove that they were on a job of as much importance as their fathers, have branched out and had one, two, five, or even ten acres. This has indeed been a large task for one boy to keep free from weeds, irrigated, and harvested during the summer. But as the contests end it is seen that the boys have not only succeeded in growing these crops successfully, even to the satisfaction of the doubting people in the neighborhood, but also to their own satisfaction, because they are finishing with a substantial profit to their credit. If any one doubts that California agriculture is a pay proposition he need only to consult these young farmers who, on their own land and by their own work, have in a single season made more money than they ever had before in their lives. Not to be outdone in sustaining this movement, the various chambers of commerce, boards of trade, farmers' organizations, and others, have combined in the different towns where there are agricultural clubs to send their prize winning boy on a trip across the continent, which would give him an opportunity to see agriculture in all parts of America. The boys left in a special car on October 15th for a 8000 mile trip which will take them through 24 states. They will make stops at 19 large cities and will be shown farms and ranches of almost every prominent type in America. They are to be received in Washington by the President and the Secretary of Agriculture, and are to be entertained in every city by prominent organizations. The university is sending a member of its agricultural faculty, Prof. B. H. Crocheron, to take charge of the boys and explain to them the agriculture of the continent.

Proud indeed may we be that we have emerged so well from the financial cataclysm which afflicted the world when the war broke out. The United States has readjusted itself to the changed conditions in a marvelously short time. California stands out particularly well. It is not too much to say that this part of the North American continent felt less than any other the dislocation of business and, as Stoddard Jess, of the Los Angeles First National Bank, said, this state is in an extremely sound financial condition and may look forward to a great expansion in all industrial lines. GOVERNMENT MAKES REPORT ON CALIFORNIA CROPS The crop reporting board of the United States department of Agriculture has just completed its estimate of the acre yield of the principal farm crops of California for this year. The estimates are based on crop conditions during the early part of October. The final figures will be given out within a short time, but it is reported that they will not differ to any great extent with the preliminary estimates. According to the figures of the yield per acre of the principal crops of this state in 1914 will be as follows: Corn 41 bushels; Irish potatoes, 150 bushels; Sweet potatoes, 190 bushels; and Rice, 54 bushels. AN EXHIBIT OF CALIFORNIA BOYS Realizing that the country boys of today will be the farmers of tomorrow, there has been started throughout the state a series of boys' agricultural clubs in high schools from Eureka to San Diego. All during the long hot They are to be received in Washington by the President and the Secretary of Agriculture, and are to be entertained in every city by prominent organizations. The university is sending a member of its agricultural faculty, Prof. B. H. Crocheron, to take charge of the boys and explain to them the agriculture of the continent. The transcontinental tour of the prize winning boys is the first of its kind to be undertaken. Various states have sent a single boy across the continent to Washington, but no state has ever before undertaken to have a carload of boys from every club tour the whole continent with the distinct idea of studying its agricultural conditions. Incidentally, the boys will be a glowing advertisement to California, since each is to wear a badge showing the amount of money he made, the crop that he raised, the amount of land under cultivation, and the name of his home town. Meanwhile, the boys who have lost out as prize winners, but who have successfully completed their summer's work, are not to be outdone by the winners, for they are planning a little trip of their own to the University Farm School at Davis, where they will hold a convention for two days, and leave for Berkeley in time to see the prize winners start on their transcontinental tour. It is estimated that at least 500 boys will convene at Davis and that special trains will run from both ends of the state. The new Boys' Agricultural clubs hold so much of promise for California that it is expected that perhaps 50,000 boys will eventually be enrolled in the clubs from the elementary schools, high schools, and those who have already left school. The Southern states alone now have 300,000 boys who produce more corn a year than does all of Egypt. It is said that the boys' pig clubs in Oregon grow enough pigs to keep the Portland stockyards ANAHEIM GAZETTE ORANGE COUNTY SOIL PRODUCTION 557 Bushels of Corn and Potatoes to The Acre is the Yield Hanslar Larter, residing three miles north of Huntington Beach, has been in the habit of taking large yields of corn, potatoes and other crops from the rich soil of his farm. Strangers to whom he has recounted the yield secured have looked askance sometimes because of the claims made by Mr. Larter. This year Mr. Larter decided to have official records of the yields made and called upon a committee of prominent business men to oversee the harvesting of the crops. Members of the committee who signed the report are C. E. Lavering, W. J. Williams and J. J. Conrad of Huntington Beach; James N. Anibas, J. F. McConnell, William Butler and J. W. Miller of Long Beach; R. E. Larter of Winterburg. The crops consisting of corn and potatoes planted in alternate rows were planted in four tracts, the total area of the field being fourteen acres, as verified by measurements taken by the committee. The potatoes were planted the last week in March and the corn was planted the last week in April. The potatoes were harvested some time since but the harvesting of the corn has just been completed. The first tract yielded at the rate of 334 bushels of potatoes and 133 bushels of corn to the acre, or a total combined crop of 467 bushels to the acre. Honor Extended to Anaheim Pioneers Continued from page 1 to know, that is the pronunciation of the name of Henri Slenkowitz, the famous author of "Quo Vadis. When he lived in Anaheim the boys used to compromise on St. Cabbage when referring to him." Nobody suspected that he had it in his system, but when A. B. McCord responded to the toast of the achievements of the pioneers he made one of the most eloquent little addresses ever heard in Anaheim. In part he said: "Three score years ago the pioneer settlers of Anaheim were not surrounded by the conveniences we have today. At that time the coyote howled on the praries, the cattle roamed unchecked through town and country, the bandit and the red man flourished in our midst, and the cactus and sage brush nodded in the Santa Ana wind. Today these things are only a memory, with the exception of the Santa Ana wind. It is still with us. John Smith, Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett and Brigham Young did nothing greater than these old pioneers of Anaheim. He has accomplished much who causes two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before. These pioneers developed the resources of the land and handed down to us a heritage better than they found it. God bless the old pioneers." Mrs. C. E. Chamberlain, president of the Ebell society, spoke on "The Women Then and Now." Mrs. Chamberlain said she was somewhat frightened at the prospect of talking before an audience until she discovered that her husband had a speech in his pocket that she could use. In those pioneer days, she said, the women believed in the doctrine of keeping one can claim some credit in their achievement. We can point to the paved streets, the paved road, the ornamental lamp posts, the river protection and justly claim some credit for their accomplishment." At the close of Mr. Krause's speech the chair asked Mrs. Dyer and Mr. Dickel to lead in singing "America," and the banqueters all arose and joined in with a will. The banquet was prepared by the ladies of the Eastern Star. Following is the menu: Grape Fruit Oyster cocktail Pioneer Fruit Salad Roast Turkey with Pioneer Dressing Jelly Peas Celery Brown Bread Rolls Ice Cream Cake Coffee A MEXICAN DISPUTE Portifico Bielma has a bullet hole from the corner of his mouth through his cheek to a point near his ear, all because he thought 4 o'clock in the morning was late enough to hold a dance, especially as he was part of the orchestra. If Porfiro had been swinging around the room with a sonorita on his arm, he might have looked at the subject from a different point of view. Bielma recently returned from San Quentin, where he served eighteen for cutting up Bernarulius Randlegos. Saturday night Francisco Ramirez gave a dance, and Bielma was engaged to furnish the music. Along about 5 o'clock Sunday morning Bielma wanted to quit, and he asked for his pay. According to Bielma, Francisco became angered and shot him in the face. Under sheriff Law, city marshal Jernigan of Santa Ana and constable Heard went to the place and arrested CALIFORNIA SECOND IN HAY California farmers produced 5,242,000 tons of tame or cultivated hay during 1914, according to the preliminary estimates made by the United States Department of Agriculture. The yield last year was 3,600,000 tons. California ranks second with other states in the production of tame hay. The product is selling for an average of $7.20 per ton, compared with $13.30 per ton in 1913. The yield per acre this season is 1.95 tons and the quality is not as good as that of the average crop of the past ten years. TIMBER CRUISED ON CALIFORNIA FORESTS The U.S. Forest Service reports that the work of cruising and mapping the national forests in California has just closed for the season. During the summer three parties of from five to eight men each covered 178,706 acres and made a careful appraisal of timber amounting to a little over two and one-half billion feet. The first tract yielded at the rate of 334 bushels of potatoes and 133 bushels of corn to the acre, or a total combined crop of 467 bushels to the acre. The second tract yielded at the rate of 401 bushels of potatoes and 121 bushels of corn to the acre, making a total of 522 bushels to the acre. Tract number three yielded at the rate of 429 bushels of potatoes and 128 bushels of corn or a total of 557 bushels to the acre, and tract number four yielded 325 bushels of potatoes and 141 bushels of corn, making a total of 466 bushels per acre. The average of the entire fourteen acres was 133 bushels of corn and 372 bushels of potatoes, or a combination average of 505 bushels to the acre/Many of the cornstalks were nearly seventeen feet tall, one being found in which the first ear was nine feet and one inch from the ground. One ear of corn was found weighing 26 1-2 ounces. It is ten and a half inches long and it would require but 42 such ears to make a bushel. CALIFORNIA SECOND IN HAY Mrs. C. E. Chamberlain, president of the Ebell society, spoke on "The Women Then and Now." Mrs. Chamberlain said she was somewhat frightened at the prospect of talking before an audience until she discovered that her husband had a speech in his pocket that she could use. In those pioneer days, she said, the women believed in the doctrine of keeping one husband as long as they both lived. There were no affinities. These women were not afraid of hardships, and they thought nothing of bad roads or long distances. The women of today are enjoying better conditions than the pioneer women, but we are still looking forward. We are looking forward to the further upbuilding of society, and we are looking forward to the convenient food tablet which will lessen our labor. We have one advantage over the men—we are not warped by party prejudice. But the women of today will never forget the lesson taught by the sturdy pioneer mothers. City Attorney H. G. Ames was next called upon by the chair to deliver an address on "Our City Government." Mr. Ames said he did not want his speech preserved in the archives as his subject was too prosaic and did not permit him to soar into eloquent language. "There is romance connected with the name of Anaheim," he said. "its history is interesting. The city itself is a pioneer. City government is our oldest known government. Egypt, the Roman Empire and Greece have histories coincident with their cities." He gave a brief sketch of the establishment of a city government. The first election was held in 1870 when Mr. Stroble was elected mayor. He also spoke of the improvements contemplated by the present city government. An original poem, dedicated to "The Pioneers," was then read by Anaheim's noted poeteas, Mrs. Harry Dyer. It was so well received that she was enclosed and recited another one. Postmaster J. Frederick Ahlborn was next called upon by the chair to talk on the subject of "Winning an Empire." Mr. Ahlborn is always eloquent and on this occasion he sustained his reputation. "The winning of this empire," he said, "took place 57 years ago, and it was accomplished without bloodshed. It is customary to leave unrecorded the deeds of ploys here on served eighteen for cutting up Bernardus Randlegos. Saturday night Francisco Ramirez gave a dance, and Bielma was engaged to furnish the music. Along about 5 o'clock Sunday morning Bielma wanted to quit, and he asked for his pay. According to Bielma, Francisco became angered and shot him in the face. Under sherriff Law, city marshal Jernigan of Santa Ana and constable Heard went to the place and arrested Bielma, Romirez, Juan Ramirez, A. Jiminez and Leandro Camacho. HALLOWE'EN PARTY Hallowe'en furnished the idea in decoration and amusements for the jolly party which Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schneider gave Sunday evening at their home. The house which was decorated with cats, witches, pumpkins, and goblins presented a fascinating, if spooky, appearance. Prizes were won by Mrs. F. G. Maner and Mr. C. H. Fisher. After the Hallowe'en games a delicious menu was served. Those enjoying the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Pendleton, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.Lake, Mr. and Mrs. Vie La Mont, Mr. and Mrs. W.E.Duckworth, Mr. and Mrs. Ed.Schneider and Mr. and Mrs.Frank Mauer. U.S.NAVY NEEDS THOUSANDS OF MEN How 18,000 additional men would be needed by the American navy to man all its ships for war was explained in a statement issued by Acting Secretary Roosevelt, supplementing Secretary Daniel's recent reply to preparedness. "At the present time three second-line battleships, two armored cruisers, four first-class cruisers, one second-class cruiser, twenty-one destroyers, three monitors, five submarines, one gunboat, 3 fuel ships, and two vessels of special type are in commission; reserve; that is to say, they have on board only 25 to 50 per cent of the crews necessary to man them in case of war." There are also six second-line battleships, one armored cruiser, one cruiser, second class, and fourteen torpedo boats which are in the condition technically called 'in ordinary.' These vessels are manned by from 10 TIMBER CRUISED ON CALIFORNIA FORESTS The U. S. Forest Service reports that the work of cruising and mapping the national forests in California has just closed for the season. During the summer three parties of from five to eight men each covered 178,706 acres and made a careful appraisal of timber amounting to a little over two and one-half billion feet. Work was concentrated upon bodies of timber for which applications to purchase are expected by the Forest Service in the near future. The appraisal of the Last Chance watershed on the Plumas National Forest was completed; in the Sierra River an area of 41,590 acres on Patterson mountain was mapped; and on the California National Forest two bodies of timber, one on Grindstone Creek and the other east of Hull mountain, were covered. In addition to these, a party of two men made a reconnaissance examination of the Lower Kalamath country on the Klamath National Forest, which extends from Hayyp Camp down the river to the west boundary of the forest below Orleans. This area includes 501,018 acres with a stand of merchantable timber estimated at 3,900,000,000 feet. Special interest has attached to this timber in connection with a proposition to run a railroad down the Klamath river to the coast which has been under discussion. Dr. Wm. T. Reid DENTIST 106 E.

Frederick Ahlborn was next called upon by the chair to talk on the subject of "Winning an Empire." Mr. Ahlborn is always eloquent and on this occasion he sustained his reputation. "The winning of this empire," he said, "took place 67 years ago, and it was accomplished without bloodshed. It is customary to leave unrecorded the deeds of pilers. Poets have sung of war but they leave unsung the accomplishments of pilers. The founding of the Mother Colony marked an epoch in California. The founding of Anaheim placed the keystone in the construction of the great southwest. It was left to the pilers of Anaheim to develop the water system of the Southland." Mr. Ahlborn suggested as a fitting monument to the memory of the pilers that four gates be erected at the four principal entrances to the city and that the names of the original colonists be engraved on their stone posts. This idea met with the hearty approval of the chair. "The Board of Trade and Its Mission," was the subject assigned to J. W. Duckworth, but he was not present. The chair announced that all his household effects had been stolen a night or two previously by burglar and he was now staying at home nights determined to prevent them carrying off the house. F. C. Krause was called upon to answer in his stead, and did so in one of his characteristic little speeches. "President Duckworth," he said, "told me to say that the Board of Trade is endeavoring to maintain the spirit of the pilers. This city can be compared to a watch that is forever keeping up with the time, and the Board of Trade is its mainspring. Many things have been achieved in the recent past and we tors, five submarines, one gunboat, 3 fuel ships, and two vessels of special type are in commission in reserve; that is to say, they have on board only 25 to 50 per cent of their crews necessary to man them in case of war. "There are also six second-line battleships, one armored cruiser, one cruiser, second class, and fourteen torpedo boats which are in the condition technically called 'in ordinary.' These vessels are manned by from 10 to 20 per cent of their regular complements, just enough to prevent them from rusting to pieces. "To provide a proper complement for all vessels of the navy which could still be made useful for war purposes would require an addition to the limit allowed by Congress, we have only sufficient men to man, in an adequate manner, a portion of the vessels alerady built. While admitting that twelve of the thirty-three battleships cannot be put in service on account of the shortage of men, Mr. Roosevelt declared that in regard to ships and equipment the navy is in excellent shape. Like Secretary Daniels, the acting secretary maintained that battleships are still the paramount factors "in any war in which the belligerants are separated by great distances of water." The value of submarines in their present state of development for coast defense purposes and for offense attacks within short radius was conceded. "In regard to the numbers of the officers and men of the navy," Mr. Roosevelt said, "there has never been an attempt to hide the fact that although the numbers are recruiting up to the present force allowed by Congress of about 18,000 men."

The marquls said that because of the fact that the harvesting season of the beet crops in the nations mentioned is just about due to begin, the causation of the labor forces (now at the front engaged in military operations) and the devastation of the prowocering lands in many districts by invading cavalry or the movement of troops, European beet sugar production will be reduced to at least a third of the normal output, and all the nations through government representatives are making strenuous efforts to secure adequate supplies from Cuban producers. The fact is well known that Germany produces about 2,500,000 or 8,000,000 tons of beets per annum, from which is supplied the large home needs of the German people and approximately one-half of the total then exported to England, which is ordinarily dependent on Germany for a great portion of her sugar consumption. The war, of course, the marquls explained, has cut this business off, so that not only is Germany confronted with the prospects of a shortage in sugar supplies because of the inevitable neglect of the harvesting operations which attend the current months of the year, but England herself, having only recently given indications of her pressing need of additional sugar supplies by making extensive purchases in the United States is deprived of her chief source of importation. worm anemia," says the Journal of the American Medical Association. A peculiarity of this disease is its gradual, insidious onset. It may take months before symptoms became pronounced; but, given time enough, the victims all succumb—become pale, puny, shiftless, and languid, unable to exert themselves, and robbed of their mental alertness as well as their vitality. The disease is caused by little worms about one-third of an inch long which infest the intestine, where the females deposit from 1200 to 1500 eggs daily. These eggs are expelled unhatched from the intestinal tract. But when they come in contact with warm, moist soil, they hatch into larvae of microscopic size which cling to blades of grass, leaves, or any convenient object. When these larvae find their way into the alimentary canal, they develop into full-fledged hookworms, set up business for themselves, and begin producing their daily quota of eggs and taking their toll of nourishment from their victims. It is this sapping of the victim's vitality that produces the symptoms. ABOUT THE LAST OF THEM Announcement was made the other day from Bakersfield of the approaching breaking up of the vast holdings of the Kern County Land company around Bakersfield. The item related that the company had one offer for the whole of its vast holdings, and that this was now under consideration. This, with the old Miller & Lux ranch, lay along the Kern River from the Slerras to the sinks of the old Tulare lake.
