S. F. EXPOSITION BEAUTIFUL, SAYS VISITOR GROWS ENTHUSIASTIC OVER THE MAGNIFICENT BUILDINGS AND SPLENDID EXHIBITS THE STATE BUILDING COVERS FIVE ACRES AND IS A JOY TO ALL CALIFORNIANS San Francisco, May, 29. Special Correspondence Anaheim Gazette. Editor Gazette:—I came up with the Southern California delegation of Women's Clubs, leaving Los Angeles on Saturday, May 16th at 8 P. M. and arrived here at noon, Sunday. The first five days I attended the convention of the Federated Womens' clubs, held at the new civic auditorium (the fine building which San Francisco got out of the five million dollar exposition appropriation from the state.) Saturday of that week the club delegates were guests of the womens' board here, at the exposition ground, and an elegant luncheon at the Inside Inn. We have been met everywhere, with real San Francisco hospitality. Sunday I was one of a private party conducted by one of the attendants at the palace of fine arts on a tour of the grounds to study the statuary, mural paintings and decorations of the palaces and courts. The other five days of this week I have spent at the exposition doing the ten palaces, the machinery, covering 9 acres, showing the latest in modern machinery, mines and metallurgy, var- of dirt which has been formed. This is done by men on their knees, using long handled prong hoes. This loosening close to the trees is followed by monthly cultivation with a gooseneck, sixteen foot cultivator with wooden wheel buffers at the ends to ward it off from the trees without injuring them. He irrigates not closer than 30 inches from the trees, using five or six furrows per row and a head of 34 to 40 inches of water. Flood irrigation on that deep loamy soil, according to Mr. Wilkinson, would bake it and undo his spring hoeing. The orchard would have to stand about a week until the dirt would crack before he could get teams onto it to cultivate. This would waste water and likely gum the trees. By the furrow irrigation, he can harrow after two days and save much moisture. He has 5,000 inch hours of irrigation water which costs $150 a year, furnishing 200 inch hours or 100,000 gallons per acre, which he thinks is plenty, though he would use more if he had it—Pacific Rural Press LAND DEVELOPMENT IN OLIVE REGION 410 Acres to be Planted in Lemons, Oranges and Walnuts One of the largest developments enterprises ever undertaken in this section is in progress about a mile north of Olive, where Willard Smith, H. T. Thompson and the Bixby Ranch Company are preparing a tract of 410 acres for planting to Valencia oranges, lemons and walnuts. The land lies in two pieces. Forty acres are on the north side of the river and on this tract a well will be put down. Water will be pumped under the river to the tract on the south side. The 370 acres on the south side of the river lie south of the Santa Ana at the inside inn. We have been met everywhere, with real San Francisco hospitality. Sunday I was one of a private party conducted by one of the attendants at the palace of fine arts on a tour of the grounds to study the statuary, mural paintings and decorations of the palaces and courts. The other five days of this week I have spent at the exposition doing the ten palaces, the machinery, covering 9 acres, showing the latest in modern machinery, mines and metallurgy, varied industries, transportation, manufacturers, liberal arts, agriculture, education, food products and horticulture. If one could grasp, even a fraction of the educational value of the contents of these buildings, it would mean a liberal education, in fact the whole exposition is educational. I have gone hastily through some of the foreign buildings. Italy is rich in art, paintings and statuary. Turkey has magnificent rugs, some valued at $5000. There are 36 states having state buildings, most of them with hand-some furnishings. The exhibits in the Canadian building surpass any of our states. This afternoon I spent on the zone, a wonderful creation, fine, unique and ornate buildings and spectacular decorations. Many of the concessions are educational, as the Panama canal Creation, Grand Canyon, battle of Gettysburg, etc. At the remote end of the zone the Union Pacific has the Yellowstone Park well pictured in a small theatre where, by panorama and movies the park is featured; farther up, on a hill top is a reproduction of Old Faithful Inn, where one may have a first class meal, provided the price can be afforded. (I had a Sunday evening dinner and have been economizing ever since.) The palace of fine arts is, to my mind, the most beautiful of all the buildings. The art exhibit surpasses all expectations. The California building is a joy to all Californians. It is massive, covering 5 acres, mission in architecture and coloring, and given a location where all its beauty is seen to advantage. The walls of the beautiful reception room are graced by magnificent tapestries loaned by Mrs. Hearst. The courtesies extended to visitors from Orange county, by Mr. McDannald and Mrs. Harry Tubbs are appreciated. Surely, the two California expositions should be seen by every resident GIRL, 13, EARNS $105 ON EIGHTH OF ACRE CHICAGO, May 31.—On an eighth of an acre of ground Mamie Campenel, thirteen years old, raised $123 worth of tomatoes. Her expenses were $16.90 and profit $105.10. On the same acreage George H. Grosse, fifteen years old, raised 88½ bushels of onion sets for which he received $92.95. His expenses were $24.90 and profit $64.20. Two hundred and nine pupils of Cook county's public schools listened to the above stories of achievement in garden work as told by the most successful of their number in Fullerton hall, art institution, today. The pupils were awarded achievement buttons for their success. During the past year Mead has been chairman Rivers and Water Co., Australia.

Surely, the two California expositions should be seen by every resident of the state, man, woman, and child. It is an opportunity of a life time. In summing up my impressions of the exposition will say—It is gigantic in structure, wonderful in architecture, artistic in decorations and as a whole, a masterful tribute to mans' genius and 'power. The Tower of Jewels, alone, is worthy the adoration of any city. I am going to spend tomorrow in the palace of fine arts, for I doubt if I will ever again have an opportunity of seeing so much that is worth while in art. I expect to leave for home Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. E. A. L. FLOODING FAVORS LEMON GUMMING "When I came to this place, 75 to 100 Eureka lemon trees were said to be gummy on the 25 acres. Now there are not over five and I believe they have been cured by proper irrigation and cultivation," says H. E. Wilkinson of San Fernando valley. All that has been necessary to get rid of the gum disease was to keep the land well loosened next to the trees. This year he has the biggest crop ever. Every spring after the rains are over he hooks out the dirt from a foot radius of the tree to break up the cement-hard collar WATER SUPPLY OF THE YUKON-TANANA REGION, ALASKA The utilization of the water supply in the important mining districts of the Yukon-Tanana region is one of the important elements in reducing the cost of mining. The water supply is not only utilized directly in placer mining but it is also of importance to the lode mining industry in furnishing a source of power. During the period from 1907 to 1912 the engineers of the geological survey were engaged in measuring the streams of this district, notably in the Fairbanks district. The results of these measurements have been published annually and are now summarized and discussed in a volume recently issued entitled Surface Water Supply of the Yukon-Tanana Region, Alaska, from 1907 to 1912. While the records of run-off are not complete enough to make possible a definite statement of the water available in each of the many streams of this vast region, yet they indicate in a general way the relation of run-off to the drainage basin. These results will therefore be of great value to engineers and operators who are planning the installation of mining plans. Good hand picked lima bean seed at six cents. H. H. Gardner Co.

One is a professorship of Rural Institutions. To this has been called Dr. Elwood Mead, one of the most distinguished irrigation engineers and agricultural statesmen in America. The other is a new professorship of agricultural engineering. To this has been called Professor Jay Brownlee Davidson of Iowa Agricultural college, a specialist in the testing of agricultural machinery as to its efficiency. Dr. Elwood Mead is one of America's most distinguished citizens. For many years, both in governmental and other positions, he was closely identified with the settlement of the Western third of the United States. During that time, people generally learned to respect his judgment and to believe in the correctness of his views with respect to the development of the natural resources of the country. During the past seven years, Dr. Mead has been chairman of the State Rivers and Water Commission of Victoria, Australia. He introduced the used, though they will not do nearly as good work. Some farmers have gotten good results by using the disk, but with this tool there is great danger of splitting the crowns of the plants. Mr. Wing also advocates top dressing the alfalfa with a suitable fertilizer. If this is applied before harrowing, the fertilizer will be well mixed all through the soil. Mr. Wing further says: "On Woodland farm we own a wide and large fertilizer distributor. This machine sows a strip 8 feet wide and the box holds 100 pounds. It simply sows the stuff broadcast on the surface. With these large, wide sowing machines a man can rapidly get over the field. No one should hesitate to buy the fertilizer, since a dollar so invested will usually return three or four in the crop of hay." Local Notes J. S. Ward has arrived from San Francisco and taken a position at the sanitarium as pharmacist. Mrs. G. H. Goodale is again at home after spending several days at the San Francisco exposition. Jacob Stern of the Stern Realty company is getting the first subdivision of his new Lefflingwell Heights tract of 264 acres in the La Habra citrus belt ready for the market. Contracts will be let immediately for the building of streets. A system of steel pipes for the delivery of irrigating and domestic water will be installed. Charles J. Claussen, who has been connected with the Redlands and Yucalpa Land company during the past five years in the sale of the Yucalpa Valley apple lands, is the sales manager of this tract. Buena Park people took a vote on $400,000,000 U.S. INCREASE IN FOOD EXPORT $657,146,290 is Record for Ten Months Exclusively of Factory Articles And Materials American foodstuffs exports amounted to almost four hundred million dollars more during the ten months ending with April of this year than during that period in the previous fiscal year. An analysis of that class of exports shows their value to have been $657,146,290. The huge increase has been due chiefly to the European war. The figures do not include statistics of manufacturers and manufacturing materials exports which also have vastly increased. Some idea of the demands upon the United States for foodstuffs is shown in the following valuations of the articles exported during the ten months. Forty million bushels of corn valued at $31,000,000, an increase of almost $26,000,000, almost $44,000,000 worth of oats, wheat valued at $296,981,000; flour, $77,869,916; canned beef, $9,473,376; fresh beef, $12,862,000; pickled beef, $2,309,000; also oil, $7,744,000; cottonseed oil, $17,541,000 and bacon $36,714,000. THE USE OF SMALL WATER SUPPLIES Throughout the Sierra foothills there are numerous springs which may be made to yield a large revenue if the flow from them is stored in small reservoirs. The majority of springs may be too small to use the flow continuously, but when it is allowed to accumulate for a few days or a week in a reservoir it is capable of irrigating a considerable area. It might be considered a waste of time and water to supply a flow of one miner's inch directly to the soil, yet such a flow years, both in governmental and other positions, he was closely identified with the settlement of the Western third of the United States. During that time, people generally learned to respect his judgment and to believe in the correctness of his views with respect to the development of the natural resources of the country. During the past seven years, Dr. Mead has been chairman of the State Rivers and Water Commission of Victoria, Australia. He introduced the so-called closer settlement plan, which has done much to develop that State. Of the 119,000 acres acquired by Victoria for closer settlement in the irrigated areas, 100,000 are now subdivided and 74,000 are settled. Secretary Lane has appointed Dr. Mead chairman of a central board of review of the committees on revision of reclamation project costs. The several committee are directed by the Secretary of the Interior to revise the estimated cost of each reclamation project upon which construction charges heretofore announced were based. The reports of the committees are to be referred to Dr. Elwood Mead, Gen. W. L. Marshall and Mr. I. D. O'Donnell for review and report to the Secretary. Dr. Mead's election as professor of rural institutions in the university is to correlate the necessary scientific work of the college and experiment station with the human and public aspects of the problem. His work is to include features of rural life outside of farming which are of great importance but which have thus far been neglected. Professor Davidson, now elected professor of agricultural engineering will be stationed at the university farm at Davis. It is proposed to build up there a testing plant for agricultural machinery. Here investigations as to the fundamental reasons for efficiency in farm machines will be made. Agricultural colleges have not heretofore seriously studied this subject. It is believed that the university farm, with its land on which it is possible to use machinery practically throughout the year, offers opportunities not possessed by other agricultural colleges. Professor Davidson graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1904. There he was later instructor in farm mechanics. He was employed in the experimental department of Deere and company and afterwards by the International Harvester company. tracts will be let immediately for the building of streets. A system of steel pipes for the delivery of irrigating and domestic water will be installed. Charles J. Claussen, who has been connected with the Redlands and Yucalpa Land company during the past five years in the sale of the Yucalpa Valley apple lands, is the sales manager of this tract. Buena Park people took a vote on the lighting proposition recently and carried it by a slight margin of four. The contest was a spirited one, every available voter being hustled to the polls to cast his ballot. Mrs. Edna Jaynes, E. E. Thurman and Henry Misenheimer were the judges, and when the vote was counted it was discovered that 47 Parkites were in favor of establishing a lighting district and 43 opposed it. Then the proposition was carried before the board of supervisors by opponents of the system and that body decided the election was illegal inasmuch as the petition calling an election lacked four votes of the requisite number. Anaheim won the annual high school tennis tournament, in Santa Ana Saturday, participated in by the high schools of Huntington Beach, Fullerton, Orange, Anaheim and Santa Ana Boys' and girls' singles and doubles were played, those being followed by the mixed doubles. Santa Ana won the girls' singles and the girls' doubles. Anaheim won the boys' singles and the boys doubles, also the mixed doubles. The high school faculty tennis meet of Orange county will be held Saturday, June 5, in connection with the picnic and reunion of county instructors, in Anaheim. Tennis games will be played by lady and gentlemen teachers of the various schools, all to begiven an opportunity to take part. The Central Lemon Growers' association house at Villa Park is picking and packing choice lemons at the rate of fully a car a day. About 70 cars have been shipped east this season. This organization handles the fruit of 703 acres lying immediately in the district adjacent to the fine, large packing house, while young trees now coming on will swell the average to 100 acres. The David Hewes association, a private concern, is packing about three cars of lemons a week. there are numerous springs which may be made to yield a large revenue if the flow from them is stored in small reservoirs. The majority of springs may be too small to use the flow continuously, but when it is allowed to accumulate for a few days or a week in a reservoir it is capable of irrigating a considerable area. It might be considered a waste of time and water to supply a flow of one miner's inch directly to the soil, yet such a flow with proper storage might serve several acres of highly valuable land. One irrigator in Eldorado county irrigated successfully 2 acres from a small spring having a flow of only about 1 inch. The discharge of the spring was stored in an earthen reservoir 100 feet long, 60 feet wide, and 3½ feet deep, holding about 1-2 acre foot of water. This small flow produced in one season fruits and vegetables having a value of $400. This illustrates how a small spring may be utilized to good advantage. Usually all of the work connected with the building of such a reservoir can be done by the farmer and the only outlay is for material which is small. Small reservoirs may likewise be used to good advantage in storing the storm waters of small creeks or terrestrial streams which flow during the winter months and have dry beds during the summer. There are numerous small reservoir sites throughout the Sierra foothill belt that can be made to serve hundreds of acres if development is undertaken. California is far behind some of the other western states in building storage works for impounding irrigation waters. Colorado has added thousands of dollars to its wealth through the co-operation of farmers in constructing small reservoirs. Opportunities for such development are equally favorable in many parts of the Sierra foothills. The use of small reservoirs in connection with pumping plants is recommended, particularly in portions of the Tulare-Fresno citrus belt, where water is lifted about 150 feet and where the stream produced is too small for an economical irrigating head. During rainy months in the winter enough water goes to waste in the Santa Ana river to irrigate many hundreds of acres. Some scheme to impound these flood waters would be a grand undertaking for Orange county. WILL TRY JUICE It is believed that the university farm, with its land on which it is possible to use machinery practically throughout the year, offers opportunities not possessed by other agricultural colleges. Professor Davidson graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1904. There he was later instructor in farm mechanics. He was employed in the experimental department of Deere and company and afterwards by the International Harvester company. For the past ten years he has been in charge of Agricultural Engineering in Iowa State college. Professor Davidson is the joint author with Professor L. L. Chase of Farm Machinery, a text used generally throughout the United States, and he is the author of a text book for secondary schools entitled Agricultural Engineering. He is also the author of several bulletins, including Modern Silo Construction, Creamery Organization and Construction and The Relative Value of Alcohol and Gasoline for Fuel and Light. Professor Davidson has designed several pieces of agricultural engineering apparatus, including the Iowa Integrating Traction Dynamometer. ALFALFA EXPERT SPEAKS "The Middle West farmer should harrow his alfalfa field," says Joe Wing, America's great alfalfa enthusiast and authority. For immediate results this had best be done at once, after the first and second cuttings are removed. The safest and best all-around tool to use is the special alfalfa spring tooth harrow. The teeth on this harrow are narrow and will tear out weeds, but will slip around and over the strong alfalfa roots without injuring them. The ordinary spring tooth or spike tooth harrows may be stationed house at Villa Park is picking and packing choice lemons at the rate of fully a car a day. About 70 cars have been shipped east this season. This organization handles the fruit of 703 acres lying immediately in the district adjacent to the fine, large packing house, while young trees now coming on will swell the average to 100 acres. The David Hewes association, a private concern, is packing about three cars of lemons a week. Packers in this establishment will probably commence handling Valenclas about July 1, or as soon as the lemons are well out of the way. On the Hewes ranch are 500 acres of lemons and 200 acres of oranges, some of this acreage being covered with trees still too young to bear. SEAL BEACH Seal Beach, the New Venice, is to have a season of amusement and activity such as it has never known in its history. The Seal Beach Amusement company has just been organized with C. W. Keeran and O. W. Martin as the principal owners. They will take over the dance pavilion and all the concessions at Seal Beach, with the exception of the bath house and bowling alleys, which are now in competent hands, and which will be operated in a way to serve the public best and will be open practically continuously from now on. A number of the concessions from Venice, Ocean Park and Santa Monica are now in conference regarding the removal to Seal Beach for the summer season. They maintain, and rightly, that the opening of the Orange county boulevard from Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim, Fullerton, etc. into Los Angeles through Seal Beach will bring to that resort a very large business. WILL TRY JUICE A force of seven men of the Southern California Edison company is busily engaged in putting in poles, a transformer and all of the other equipment made necessary by the radical change being made by the Olive Milling company in setting aside steam and water power for juice, the modern brand of energy. Installation of the new method of driving the machinery of the big mill is accompanied by considerable other improvement work, and when all is completed a vastly different phase will be placed upon the mechanical portion of the concern. The test of the deep well recently finished by the milling company, for supplying the reservoir north of the mill—this to take care of the new tract laid out into building lots—has been held up because of the electrical people, since the test will be made more efficiently after the new power is connected. United States patent number 619, 972 has just been issued to a man who has invented a camera sufficiently small to be swallowed. The camera furnishes its own light and takes pictures of the interior of the stomach so that a specialist may better diagnose stomach alliments. Between the X ray, electric lights and new fashions there is little left to conceal either inside or out.

SMALL WATER MILLIES Sierra foothills springs which may be large revenue if is stored in small majority of springs to use the flow conit is allowed to flow days or a week capable of irrigatarea. It might be of time and water one miner's inch yet such a flow OUR NATIONAL WEALTH If $2000 were placed on every mile of the distance from here to the sun it would just represent the wealth of the United States. That is easier to understand than One Hundred and Eighty-seven Billions with Seven Hundred and Thirty-Nine Millions thrown in for good measure. This makes an average of nearly $2000 for every man, woman and child in the country, although only about $35 of that is in cash. The rest consists of the accumulations of past years and almost all of it in the memory of living men. It reads like a fairy story. Even Aladin's lamp never accomplished anything so marvelous. Sixty-five years ago the national wealth was only $7,000,000,000, or about one twenty-sixth part of what it is now. Only a little more than 15 per cent of our present wealth is given as real estate, the rest is what our people have made out of good old mother earth. What astonishes us most is that Illinois is placed a little ahead of Pennsylvania in the matter of wealth. It is true that the difference is only a paltry $26,000,000, which, we presume any patriotic Pennsylvanian would gladly give that state to put it in first place. If Illinois is really richer than Pennsylvania we should like to know on what basis the computation is made. It is evident that natural resources are not highly capitalized, otherwise Pennsylvania would lead its Sucker sister. Chicago must have been making an awful lot of money lately, and, of course it must be admitted that Pennsylvania has lost some billions of late through the policies of the Democratic party. The amazing thing is that the whole of the British Empire is valued at only $108,000,000,000 of which only $73,000,000,000 belongs to the United Kingdom, which is a little less than the sum assigned to Germany. RAILWAY COLLISION WRECKS BUILDING Packing House Collapses and Man Crushed to Death Beneath It A curious accident wrecked the orange packing house of the J. McInnes Company Friday night in Orange. The building is flat on the ground, and its contents, worth several thousand dollars practically destroyed. One life was crushed out when the building fell, and another person was so badly injured that he had to be sent to the county hospital. The accident was an odd one. A car of oranges had been loaded to capacity, and run out on the switch in readiness to be coupled to the freight train, when the latter made up, but as it turned out the car of oranges was not in the clear, and when the switching train sent a heavy car, loaded with cement across the tracks, the cement car struck the orange car squarely in the middle, sending it toppling to its fall. In its descent the car struck the packing house, and simply shoved it from its foundation posts. The whole building, 80 feet long, collapsed at once, and it is now a mass of ruins. In some places the roof has sagged so much that it would not allow of a person walking through the house. A scream of agony as the building went over warned those who were near that a man had been crushed in the collapse of the building. Willing hands soon got to work and in a few minutes it was discovered where the imprisoned man lay. He was under a huge beam, and it required nearly half an hour's chopping to get the man free, only to find that life had been extinct for some few minutes before the rescuers had gotten the body free. The dead man proved to be a Mexican Pedro Flores. He and a companion had come to Orange to look for work. Pedro had gone to sleep FULLER'S EARTH PRODUCED IN 1914 The fuller's earth industry showed considerable progress in 1914, with an increase in both output and value, compared with 1913. The production advanced 38,594 short tons in 1913 to 40,891 short tons in 1914, and the value from $369,750 in 1913 to $403,646 in 1914, according to the survey. Fuller's earth is found in 16 states and was produced for market in 1914 in seven Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, and Texas. South Carolina dropped out in 1914 and Texas reentered the list of producers, making the number of producing states the same in 1914 as in 1913. Fuller's earth is used in this country principally in bleaching, clarifying, or filtering fats, greases and oils, it is not now much employed for filling cloth, the use from which it obtained its name. It is also used in the manufacture of pigments for printing wall papers, for the detection of certain coloring materials in some food products, and as a substitute for talcum powder. The common practice with mineral oils is to dry the earth carefully, after which it is ground to suitable sizes and run into long cylinders, through which the crude mineral oils are allowed to percolate slowly. As a result, the oil that first comes out is perfectly water white and much thinner than that which follows. The oil is allowed to continue percolating through the earth until the color reaches a certain maximum shade. With the vegetable oils the process is radically different. The oil is heated in large tanks beyond the boiling point of water; from 5 to 10 per cent the collapse of the building. Willing hands soon got to work and in a few minutes it was discovered where the imprisoned man lay. He was under a huge beam, and it required nearly half an hour's chopping to get the man free, only to find that life had been extinct for some few minutes before the rescuers had gotten the body free. The dead man proved to be a Mexican Pedro Flores. He and a companion had come to Orange to look for work. Pedro had gone to sleep under the packing house, which, as is usual with such structures, was elevated to have the floor on a level with the loading doors of trains, and when the building went over he had been caught in the trap. His mate, Angelino Sylva, was not under the building, but at the side, and managed to escape with a few bad bruises, but he was sent to the county hospital to be taken care of. The collapsed building was a new one, this being the first fruit season in which packing had been done in it. GOETHALS VS. ARCHIBALD When war correspondent Archibald was in Los Angeles a few days ago and being interviewed at the Alexandria hotel, among other things he said, commenting on our unprpardness for war, that he didn't think we had three rounds of ammunition for our coast defenses. Governor George W. Goethals, in a speech at Baltimore on Thursday of last week on land forts said, "No fleet can enter San Francisco harbor by forcing the fortifications. I understand that there are 149 long range guns there. These guns could reduce a naval fleet before it got into striking distance. I have been out of the United States for some time and do not know exactly the number of guns in New York harbor, but the same conditions exist there as in San Francisco." And does any one believe that any nation on earth would be so stupid as to provide such guns and not have anything to shoot from them? Too foolish to talk about. It is our opinion that if an enemy should attempt to enter either New York or San Francisco harbor Uncle Sam could save up at least a half dozen rounds of ammunition, Mr. Archibald to the contrary notwithstanding. The assertion in some of the belligerent nations that the United States is where the stream will for an economith in the winter to waste in the migrate many hundage scheme to imwaters would be a nor Orange county.

On the other hand, there will be a slight increase on the new oil properties in the north part of the field. The increase in valuation in Fullerton, including new buildings and on other improvements will be about $100,000. The assertion in some of the belligerent nations that the United States is playing the part of the money changer in this war will hardly be repeated after the struggle is over. In the excitement of the war the belligerents are blinded by hatred and prejudice, and this is the only thing that can explain their overlooking the manner in which the people of this country have administered to the starving and to the wounded of Europe. Ships have been loaded with food and sent to Europe. Relief stations have been established in most of the large cities for this purpose. Money, food, medicine, clothing, and shoes have been sent to the women and children who have been made desolate by the war. The best of the medical and nursing professions of the United States are risking their lives on European battlefields. Millions of dollars are being spent by Americans to alleviate the suffering and save the lives of English, German, French, Russian, and Austrian soldiers. If this is an evidence of America's selfishness, the word has taken on a new meaning. John C. Tuffree and Samuel James Tuffree have filed a petition asking that the last will of their mother, Mrs. Carolina Pittman be admitted to probate. The petitioners are the principal legatees in the will, although R. W. Pittman, the second husband of the woman is remembered in the sum of $2000.
