Phones Home 1751 Pacific 217 UNCLE SAMUEL'S BULLSEYE HITTERS American Gunners Abroad Our Battleships Know How to Shoot Uncle Sammy is playing foxy. At least it's that way when it comes to letting the world know just how good his bright young men are on their navy target practices. And there's a reason. It used to be the custom of the United States navy to parade its target records. Then, when the aforesaid Uncle Sammy had done with his advertising, the other nations stepped proudly forth and let the United States know where they, too, stood on hits and misses. But the war changed a lot of things—and among others, the matter of advertising just how fast and how far and how well American gunners can shoot. Hence, today's records of the past and present, and comparison with other nations, is withheld for the most part. Hence, when a few weeks since, gentle reader, you read that William Ruf, gun pointer on board the Texas, had smashed a world's record to smithers by making eight hits with a 14-cent, as in the battle of Santiago, the navy felt well content. The hitting in that battle, however, was chiefly with small guns at a range less than 2 miles. But, in these days of Big Berthas and the like, shooting and hitting in the U.S. navy is far higher than it used to be. Now two shots a minute from the big turret guns and about eight from the smaller guns is considered a fair record. The hits, however, run higher. The big 14-inch guns which can create a lot of wreckage up to 14 miles, score about 25 per cent on hits—at least that was the record when last figures were made public in 1911 in connection with firing at the old San Marcos target in Cheapeake bay. Incidentally, Secretary of the Navy Daniels had this to say on the general subject of target practice, a few days since: "Some people complain that our navy hasn't had enough target practice recently; but I want to say that the practice we had in going to Vera Cruz was more valuable than the target training could be. We picked up and got down there in double-quick time—and everything ran like clock-time." "We usually sell we think we can do killing, but it has a portion of the enough before we ing on so that we can scale has since had surprised to find the al quantity of youth that is in fine condition have therefore decided parts of our orchid dition exists imminent that by so doing clean up our grow not need fumigation years; whereas if we certainly will again next summer also have dirty tr will probably have present conditions; chard most of them to fumigate each year." "In brief, we have times becomes new climate, and this to an interior cli twice within a year the scale into a reing and to prevent distributed through." "Possibly it might the attention of our condition because we surprised to find the scribed existed in" WOULD PLANT STATE State Forester strongly recommend planting along the out state, except The tree is a grower, and is very ornamental to commercial value of posts and fuel.

Hence, today's records of the past and present, and comparison with other nations, is withheld for the most part. Hence, when a few weeks since, gentle reader, you read that William Ruf, gun pointer on board the Texas, had amassed a world's record to smithereens by making eight hits with a 14-inch gun, firing at a moving target 12 miles away, you didn't have the exact facts. Neither did you have exact information when you saw in the movies another young man on board the Georgia portrayed as Uncle Sammy's "champeen." Ruf did break into the limelight; but his marks—whatever they may be—were made with a small gun. And, when the crew of the San Diego made 100 per cent of hits on a range near the Coronado islands, with an 8-inch gun, firing at the rate of three and a half shots a minute, that was not all, either. On the other hand, the real dyed-in-the-wool gunners for the past year, when it comes to hitting the bullseye, with a 14-inch cannon, is L. V. Lindsey of the Texas, an ordinary seaman. Manipulating one of these 14-inch pets and ringing the bell frequently is a real feat; so Lindsey gets special recognition for his work. The leading 12-inch gunners are W. F. Meyers, seaman on the Arkansas, and E. L. Talley, coxswain of the Georgia. Back in the days when Uncle Sammy used to do a bit of advertising about his gunners' ability—say around 1896—a shot every three minutes from the turret guns—11., 12., and 14-inch—was considered satisfactory, while one a minute from a 6-inch was also looked upon as a paper figure. And, if the hits averaged 3 1/2 per Marcos target in Cheesapeake bay. Incidentally, Secretary of the Navy Daniels had this to say on the general subject of target practice, a few days since: "Some people complain that our navy hasn't had enough target practice recently; but I want to say that the practice we had in going to Vera Cruz was more valuable than the target training could be. We picked up and got down there in double-quick time—and everything ran like clockwork. That training was invaluable." ELITE CLUB ENTERTAINED Mrs. Amy Wisser entertained the Elite Club at the home of her sister, Mrs. J. W. Brunworth, on E. Center street. The house was decorated in green, in honor of St. Patrick. Each member was presented with a green carnation. Five Hundred was a feature of the afternoon. Prizes were awarded as follows: Mrs. Wm. Lake, first; Mrs. Henry Kroeger of Fullerton, second; Mrs. H.

DESTROY SCALE BEFORE IT CAN HATCH, ADVICE Fumigate Orchards Twice, if Necessary, Urges C. C. Teague, Santa Paula Expert G. Harold Powell, general manager of the California Fruit Growers' Association, has distributed generally in Southern California copies of a letter received from C. C. Teague of Santa Paula. Mr. Teague is one of the largest citrus growers in California, and it is declared that in his experience in handling 1000 acres of oranges and lemons he speaks with a knowledge gained from close study of conditions and methods of betterment. The letter is as follows: "I have noticed that our field department has called attention to the undesirability of washing navel oranges whenever it can be avoided. I understand that the reason navel oranges are being so generally washed this year is on account of the unusual amount of black scale prevalent all through the orange growing district this last year. "The object of this communication is to call your attention to a condition which we find exists here in regard to black scale, and which is quite unusual. We found last fall, during the fumigating campaign, that the scale was all mixed up in its hatching period and did not hatch over a short enough period to enable us to do a first class job of fumigation. "We usually select the time when we think we can do the most effective killing, but it has since developed that a portion of the scale was large enough before we could begin fumigating on so that we could not kill it. This scale has since hatched, and we are surprised to find that we have a liberal quantity of young scale on our trees that is in fine condition to kill. We MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION ENJOYS BANQUET Propriety of Having Salaried Secretary Discussed, Meet Again This Evening The Anaheim merchants Association held an interesting meeting on Thursday evening; and after enjoying a banquet prepared at a local cafe, a resolution was presented, as follows: We, your committee, beg to report and recommend the adoption of the following resolution. Whereas: We, the Merchants of Anaheim, California, realize that this is an opportunity time to join with the Board of Trade in securing additional members to more effectively boost this community; And whereas, we believe that these objects can best be secured by the employment of an efficient, capable secretary who shall devote his entire time to the office and work in advancing the welfare of Anaheim and vicinity; Therefore be it resolved; That the Merchants' association dispense with all office expenses and reduce the dues from $1.00 per month to $1.00 per annum, and that each and all of the merchants be urged to poin and take an active part in the Board of Trade. Further: That we urge the Board of Trade to employ a competent secretary who shall devote his entire time to the office and we pledge ourselves to contribute our reasonable proportion of the expense. Respectfully submitted, FRANK N. GIBBS, O. H. RENNER, stances mixed with wheat, might provide people with healthful food quite as nutritious as the pure wheat flour and at the same time cheaper. Austrian bakers are now compelled by law to use at least 30 per cent potato meal in making their bread. The bureau of chemistry's potato meal bread has been baked with from 25 to 50 per cent potato meal and the remaining percentage wheat. The most satisfactory loaves in combining economy and appearance were those made with the minimum percentage allowed in Austria or less. The loaves made with more than 30 per cent potato meal were not so satisfactory as they were heavier and less attractive in form. The bread has a rather coarse texture and dark appearance, but possesses a distinctive and agreeable flavor. It also retains moisture for a much longer period than ordinary wheat bread. The bureau of chemistry used the imported potato flake in some of its experiments and in others, meal made by slicing, milling and drying potatoes on a small scale in its laboratories. It should be added that such ordinary potato flour as is on our American markets is not the same as the German potato flake or Walz-mehl, which has given such satisfactory results in the experiments. The question has been raised as to whether the ordinary cooked potato might not be satisfactorily substituted for the prepared potato meal. The experimenter believe that it might serve the same purpose if used in just the right proportion, but this would be difficult for the average housewife to determine as there is great danger of using too much and producing a very soggy loaf. However, the custom of adding a very little potato is already used by many housekeepers to keep their bread moist and this practice can very well be recommended for more general use. We usually select the time when we think we can do the most effective killing, but it has since developed that a portion of the scale was large enough before we could begin fumigating on so that we could not kill it. This scale has since hatched, and we are surprised to find that we have a liberal quantity of young scale on our trees that is in fine condition to kill. We have therefore decided to fumigate all parts of our orchards where this condition exists immediately, believing that by so doing we can effectively clean up our groves so that we will not need fumigation for at least two years; whereas if we do not fumigate we certainly will have to fumigate again next summer and fall, and will also have dirty trees and fruit, and will probably have a repetition of the present conditions; namely, a dirty orchard most of the time and having to fumigate each year. In brief, we have found that it some times becomes necessary in a coast climate, and this may possibly apply to an interior climate, to fumigate twice within a year in order to get the scale into a regular habit of hatching and to prevent the hatch being distributed throughout the year. Possibly it might be wise to call the attention of our growers to this condition because we were very much surprised to find that the condition described existed in our groves." WOULD PLANT LOCUSTS ALONG STATE ROADS State Forester G. M. Homans strongly recommends yellow locust for planting along the stater oads throughout the state, except at high altitudes. The tree is a comparatively rapid grower, and is valuable as a shade and ornamental tree aside from the commercial value of its wood for fence posts and fuel. The wood is exceedingly durable in contact with the ground. In many sections of the state an evergreen tree is not most suitable for highway planting. The locust sheds its leaves in winter, and this permits the sun to dry the roads after rains. In the summer the foliage affords abundant shade. Bulletin No. 4 "Street and Highway Planting" issued by the state forester, is available for free distribution and will be of great interest to note that the co-operative distilleries, in which it is interesting to note that they perimenters believe that it might serve the same purpose if used in just the right proportion, but this would be difficult for the average housewife to determine as there is great danger of using too much and producing a very soggy loaf. However, the custom of adding a very little potato is already used by many housekeepers to keep their bread moist and this practice can very well be recommended for more general use. MANUFACTURING ALCOHOL FOR TECHNICAL PURPOSES Varied Uses to Which Tubers May Be Put for Profitable Industry What ever may happen to alcohols as a beverage through the prohibition movement, the United States department of agriculture announces it is convinced that "licker" is bound to assume high importance in scientific agriculture. The results of study in Germany indicate that a manufacture of alcohol for technical purposes—not for human consumption—is not regarded in itself as a profitable business, but as a necessary factor in general farming, says the department. The distilleries provide a market for Germany's enormous potato crop, which in turn has made possible the profitable cultivation of large tracts of light sandy soil in the east. The spent mash again is returned to the farmers from the distilleries and used as feed for cattle which furnish manure for the enrichment of the soil. On account of the pressure of the population and the desire to cultivate as large an acreage as possible, German farmers have been raising as much live stock as would be good agricultural practice, it is stated, and any thing that tends to situate them in this direction is regarded as most desirable. Approximately 6,000 agricultural potato distilleries are now in operation in the German empire. Many of these are co-operative distilleries, in which it is interesting to note that they perimenters believe that it might serve the same purpose if used in just the right proportion, but this would be difficult for the average housewife to determine as there is great danger of using too much and producing a very soggy loaf. However, the custom of adding a very little potato is already used by many housekeepers to keep their bread moist and this practice can very well be recommended for more general use. UNCONSTITUTIONAL The migratory bird game law was declared unconstitutional by Judge C. Rollock, in the United States District Court. Judge Rollock held congress had no jurisdiction over game in any of the states and that separate states only have the right to enact laws for regulation of protection of game. Fred Robinson, United States District Attorney, announced the case will be appealed to the United States Supreme Court. In his decision Judge Rollock said in part: "The act challenged is believed to be the single instance in the entire legislative or judicial history of this nation or the composing States in which a contrary view has been expressed. Unless a departure as radical in theory as it is important in its effects is to be made from fundamental principles long established by our laws, the act in question must be held incapable of support by any provision of the organic law of the country." The act in question shall, on any ground or for any reason be upheld, it must surely follow the many laws of the separate states of this Union must hereafter be held to be inoperative, for there can be no divided authority of the nation and the several states over the single object matter in issue with either safety to the nation or security to the citizen." The contract for the association packing house at Olive has been let to Gus Stohlman of Olive for $6385. This figure is exclusive of the cost of the excavation for basement. The house will be 70 by 120 feet in area, with a full width basement, and will be modern in every detail. One of the features of the house will be a maple floor throughout. The basement excavation has already been completed and concrete work will be commenced this week. The house is to be done by May 1, and the machinery will be installed and ready for the Valencia crop by May 15. The house is associated with the Orange County Fruit Exchange. Fred Corona of Fullerton was found not guilty when tried by a jury in Justice Cox's court at Santa Ana Friday. He was accused of driving an automobile while intoxicated. The principal witness against him told of seeing him on the road south of Fullerton the time he went off the curve and his machine hung up on a guy wire. Other witnesses who saw him at Fullerton testified that he was not intoxicated. Mr. Corona has been a resident of Fullerton for many years and is in the painting business. He bears a good reputation among all those who know him. POTATO FLOUR IS LATEST FOR BREAD Baking experiments to test the value of making bread of potato meal mixed with wheat flour are now bing made by the United States department of agriculture's bureau of chemistry. This is to test the possibilities of the potato in the same manner as Germany and Austria are now advising their people to do. The increased cost of living throughout the world has emphasized the fact that flour made of other substances than wheat, or of these substances and fuel. The wood is exceedingly durable in contact with the ground. In many sections of the state an evergreen tree is not most suitable for highway planting. The locust sheds its leaves in winter, and this permits the sun to dry the roads after rains. In the summer the foliage affords abundant shade. Bulletin No. 4 "Street and Highway Planting" issued by the state forester, is available for free distribution and will be of great assistance to those who contemplate ornamental tree planting in California. CROP FROM 13000 ACRES WILL BE HARVESTED THIS YEAR The value of the olive industry to California will be appreciated when it is realized that in 1914 the sum of $2,750,000 was realized to olive growers. According to statistics that have been very carefully prepared, the olive production for the year 1914 is placed at 27,500 tons; the average value per ton for oil and pickling purposes is accordingly $100. The state has at the present time 11,000 acres of bearing olives and 10,000 acres of non-bearing olives. Within a comparatively short time, the bearing acreage of the state will be doubled while planting is proceeding in even a larger ratio than heretofore. It is expected that in 1915 the yield will be 30,000 tons, about 13,000 will be in bearing and more than 10,000 acres will be started. In a few years, if the present planting continues, the olive will rank among the most important of California's productions. In order to take care of the production that will soon be upon the market, a great educational campaign is being carried on. The first step in this campaign is California Ripe Olive Day which is to be celebrated on March 31st. It is to the interest of everyone in the state that they join in this campaign, as the olive industry is apparently capable of an unlimited development throughout the state. With the market that is capable of development the annual return to the state from the olive industry should be $50,000,000 or more. When moisture is scarce, don't leave your soil with even little ridges on its surface. A flat smooth dust mulch exposes much less surface to evaporation than a corrugated finish.

Painless Parker representatives were in town Monday giving demonstrations on how to pull a tooth without pain. They distributed circulars telling of amendments to the dental laws of the state that they are desirous of having passed by the present legislature. Among them are the following: Assembly Bill 190—Known as the anti-cocaine and arsenic bill. This measure makes it a misdemeanor for a dentist to use, sell, give away, or have in his possession cocaine and arsenic in any form. Punishment for first offense, fine from $50 to $400; second offense, fine from $400; third offense, both fine and imprisonment and revocation of license to practice dentistry in this state. Assembly Bill 191—Amends Section 19 by requiring a female assistant or nurse to be present when a dental operation is performed on a female. Mrs. Henry Armbrust made a business trip to Los Angeles Saturday.
