CLERK MERRITT'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT COLLECTIONS AND EXPENDITURES IN CITY FROM MAY 1, 1915 TO APRIL 1, 1916 SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN LICENSE AND ELECTRIC SER VICE—GOOD BALANCE IN TREASURY At the meeting of the city trustees on Thursday evening, City Clerk E. B. Merritt submitted his annual financial statement to that body. The report which was accepted, is as follows: May 1, Balance on hand ... $18,945.08 Collected by:— Marshal for License ... 14,028.25 Rate Collector for Water... 16,187.60 Same, Light and Power ... 25,185.60 Same, Supplies ... 185.20 Same, Penalties ... 169.60 Tax Collector, City Taxes ... 32,395.60 Same, Operative Taxes ... 456.37 Assessor, Personal Prop. ... 1,127.36 Supt. of Streets, St. work ... 892.00 Clerk, for Sundries ... 1,153.18 Electrician, Permits, Insp. ... 169.95 Plumbing Insp., Sewer Con. ... 132.00 Clerk, Building Permits ... 129.30 Recorder, Fines Collected ... 557.00 Clerk, Sewer Account ... 688.93 $112,403.02 Expenditures Waterworks ... $17,598.72 Electric Light ... 17,341.88 City Teams ... 4,808.44 Health and if some little thing goes wrong about which he knows nothing and which may not effect the actual performance of the battery immediately, he is made aware of this fact when he takes his battery in inspection. In this way he is relieved of heavy repairs which might have been accumulating for some time, but which—due to the delicate construction of the storage battery—came all at once and involved considerable expense.

FEDERAL PARTICIPATION IN GOOD ROAD BUILDING Highway to Extend into or Through All States in the Union Secretary of War Baker, the "baby" member of the Wilson cabinet, has set forth some interesting views upon the subject of federal participation in the building of good roads in a letter recently written to Senator Geo. E. Chamberlain, of Oregon, a copy of which has been made public by the National Highways Association. The letter is in response to a request from Senator Chamberlain for the war department's views upon the Shields-Small bill providing for a preliminary investigation and report on a system of national highways. The report provided for in the bill is really a survey to be prepared according to recognized principles of engineering and to describe highways to extend into or through all the states of the United States. Such highways are to be main or trunk line highways connecting principal centers of population, or places suited to become focal points of communication, to be built and maintained by the federal government.

Such highways are to be main or trunk line highways connecting principal centers of population, or places suited to become focal points of communication, to be built and maintained by the federal government. Commenting upon this legislation, Secretary Baker supports both the safe and wise business principle of preliminary examination and report and the sound principles of central control. His letter to Senator Chamberlain reads as follows: "War Department. Washington, March 13, 1916. 'Hon. George E. Chamberlain, 'Chairman, Committee on Military Affairs, 'Washington, D.C.' 'My Dear Senator: "I have the honor to present the following reply to your request of the 16th ultimo. "If congress desires to enter upon the construction of a system of national highways, the general features of the plan presented in the bill are, in my judgment, admirably adapted to produce the facts necessary for such a consideration. It proceeds upon the safe and wise business principles of preliminary examination and report, thus giving congress full information collected by trained men and the data so collected forms a definite and essential basis on which to found conclusions as to what extent, if any, and under what conditions the Federal government shall embark upon such a project." "It includes also the sound principles of central control, thus insuring standard and uniform results for all sections of the country, and of committing expenditures to officers directly accountable to the federal government, and alive to the fact that the largest possible outcome for the money placed in their hands is expected of them. In addition to the advantages of the intelligent way of going at the matter, and of the uniform and economical results to be expected from the method in which appropriations are to be applied, the plan makes possible a special military advantage in time of war through the fact that officers of the corps of engineer, on whom, in war time, the work of mapping out the theater of operations and constructing roads therein depend." FREE INSPECTION TO INSURE BETTER BATTERY SERVICE It is a well known fact among motor car owners that periodic inspection of their cars prevents, in many instances, large repair bills. For this reason many motor car manufacturers have adopted free inspection as a part of their service. Working along this same principle, the Willard Storage Battery company, of Cleveland, have originated a form of free inspection which applies to all of their 550 service stations. By calling at any Willard Service Station a motor car owner may obtain a card which entitles him to free inspection of his battery at any time during one year from the date of the card's issue. This service is extended to all car owners regardless of the make of battery in their car. The benefit to the car owner of having his battery inspected at regular intervals is obvious. He is constantly informed of the state of the battery's In addition to the advantages of the intelligent way of going at the matter, and of the uniform and economical results to be expected from the method in which appropriations are to be applied, the plan makes possible a special military advantage in time of war through the fact that officers of the corps of engineer, on whom, in war time, the work of mapping out the theater of operations and constructing roads therein, depend, would have a wide knowledge of our national communications, and a valuable practical experience in road construction. While all the officers of the corps receive thorough theoretical instruction in the road making art, opportunities are now lacking for giving emergencies which would arise at them the practical experience essential to a quick and ready grasp of the outbreak of hostilities. "For these reasons, if Congress decides to embark upon a project of this character there will be many advantages in conducting the work under the engineering corps of the United States army. With reference to the sum proposed for defraying expenses the information available in the department is insufficient to permit a positive expression of views as to whether $250,000 will suffice to prepare a complete preliminary plan for the whole United States or not. The recent highway work for various states has provided a considerable mileage which will be available for connection between principal centers. It has been computed however that the total length of roads in the United States is something over 2,000,000 miles, and considering the wide extent of the national domain, and the fact that in so many instances alternative routes between centers are available, it will be seen that the plan involves the consideration of ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, MAY 18 Cook in a cool Kitchen All the heat is concentrated where it is needed—keeps you cool and makes for better cooking NEW PERFECTION OIL COOK-STOVE Why not cook with a modern oil stove this summer and be comfortable?

DICKEL The revenue producing ability of the Underwood law for March was miserable indeed, only $21,000,000 being realized on the vast amount of imports, or an average rate of duty on all goods imported during the month of 9.8 per cent. The record for the nine months ended with March is equally bad in respect to revenues. We imported during that period $1,505,000,000 worth of goods. This is $103,000,000 more than was imported for the nine months ended March, 1913, under the republican law, but the revenue collected up to and including March, 1915 was $97,500,000 less than for the period ended March, 1913. For the nine months just past customs duties amounted to $153,000,000 or an average rate of duty for the period of 10 per cent. During the nine months ended March 1913, under republican law, on $1,402,000,000 of imports we collected $250,345,000 of customs revenue, or an average rate of duty of 18 per cent. Nine months of the current fiscal year show a net inward gold movement of $279,315,302. This is money coming from Europe to be used toward liquidating our trade balances against the belligerents. The record for the period just previous to the outbreak of the European war tells quite another story. The Underwood tariff law had been in effect ten months before the war started. Our favorable trade balance began to decrease with startling rapidity immediately after the passage of that law. By April it was against us. In other words we were buying more than we were selling. The balance continued against us each month, rising to $19,400,000 in August. The effect of war orders had not yet become manifested. During the eight months ended August 1914, our gold exports totaled nearly $100,000,000. Not only did the republican tariff law protect American industry and American workingmen, but it kept the United States treasury in good shape. When Woodrow Wilson stepped into office the ougoing republican administration was able to hand over to him a handsome surplus to set up housekeeping for Uncle Sam. On March 31, 1913, there was a total balance in the general fund of $148,500,000. Eighty millions of that was set aside as a working balance. The insect owes its name to its resemblance to a long, narrow oyster shell. The adult female scales are dark brown in color and about one-eighth of an inch in length. The eggs are concealed beneath them. In the warmer climates there are two broods each year, but in the extreme northern part of the country and in Canada there is only one. The time of the hatching of these broods varies greatly, but it usually occurs through the months of April, May and June. The scurfy scale is especially common on apple, pear, cherry and peach trees. It does not attack as wide a variety of plants as the oyster shell scale, and this fact, coupled with its being less widely distributed than the latter, makes it less harmful of the two. The scurfy scale, like the oyster shell, winters in the egg condition under the scales. The scale of the female is dirty gray in color and of an irregular pear shape. Where orchards are pruned and sprayed regularly for the San Jose scale during the dormant period, this will usually be sufficient to hold both the oyster shell scale and the scurfy scale in check. Where this is not done and the scales prove troublesome, specific treatment is necessary. The spraying is usually done in the same manner as for the San Jose scale, using the lime sulphur mixture industry—there are now more olive trees in California still to young to bear than bearing trees—that the University of California has enrolled 692 students in its free correspondence course on the olive, and 224 have finished the course. That California has practically a monopoly of the market for ripe olives is pointed out by Prof. F. T. Bioletti in this correspondence course. In Southern Europe ripe olives are produced, but only for local consumption. One of the great contributions of the university to the agricultural prosperity of California was the discovery by the experiment station of successful methods of canning and bottling ripe olives, and the result has been to win for this state an industry in which Europe has not been able to compete. In the university's correspondence course on the olive it is pointed out that clip the tips from the olive pits before planting will save practically a year in the growth of seedlings. This free correspondence course gives instruction in the preparing of the seedbed, the planting of the seeds, the care of the seedlings, the preparation of the orchard, the setting out of the trees, cultivation, green-manuring with cover crops, irrigation, pruning, the top working of old trees so that unprofitable varieties may be worked over into profitable strains, the making of olive oil and ripe olives, pickling olives and on the much needed matter of standardization of the sizes for olives for market. California olive orchards promise an immensely long life of usefulness, according to the university, for in Europe olive trees hundreds of years old are still producing profitable crops. THE KING AUTO Artemas Ward, Jr., President of the King Motor Car Company Not only did the republican tariff law protect American industry and American workingmen, but it kept the United States treasury in good shape. When Woodrow Wilson stepped into office the ooing republican administration was able to hand over to him a handsome surplus to set up housekeeping for Uncle Sam. On March 31, 1913, there was a total balance in the general fund of $148,500,000. Eighty millions of that was set aside as a working balance. Democratic extravagance and the failure of the Underwood law as a revenue producer gutted the treasury in short order. At the end of March, 1916, outstanding claims against the government, unavailable assets, etc., amounted to $140,433,000. McAdoo reported a balance at that time of $126,745,695, which was $13,687,000 less than these outstanding claims and unavailable assets. TWO SCALE INSECTS CAUSE GREAT DAMAGE Oyster Shell Scale and Scurfy Scale Attack Fruit and Shade Trees—Control Methods Specialists of the United States department of agriculture report that the oyster shell scale and the scurfy scale are more frequently the subject of inquiry by orchardists and others than all other species of scale insects combined, with the exception of the San Jose scale. These scales often kill individual branches and permanently stunt or, in extreme cases, kill the tree. Although the insects winter in the egg stage under the protecting scales and are, therefore, less susceptible to washes that are effective against the San Jose scale, yet such treatment in most cases will reduce their numbers to a point where little injury from them will result. Special spraying may be necessary to hold an irregular pear shape. Where orchards are pruned and sprayed regularly for the San Jose scale during the dormant period, this will usually be sufficient to hold both the oyster shell scale and the scurfy scale in check. Where this is not done and the scales prove troublesome, specific treatment is necessary. The spraying is usually done in the same manner as for the San Jose scale, using the lime sulphur mixture and applying it when the trees are dormant. If an abundance of young scales hatch in the spring notwithstanding such treatment, additional spraying is necessary. Kerosene emulsion or other contact sprays may be used to kill the insects. Only the insects hit by the spray are killed; therefore the effectiveness of this second spraying depends largely upon whether it is done at the time the scales hatch and whether the tree is thoroughly covered with a uniform coat. The young insects usually appear during the spring and sometimes in the early summer. Trees which have become infested should be carefully watched during this period to discover the insects when they hatch and to apply the spray at this time when it will do the most good. The insects are easily distinguished, are light yellow in color, and are found crawling over the trees in great numbers. Direction for the mixing of lime-sulphur spray and kerosene emulsion contained in a new Farmers' Bulletin, No. 723, "The Oyster Shell Scale and the Scurfy Scale," by A. L. Quaintance and E. R. Sasscer, containing complete data on these scales and additional methods for their control. 700 STUDY BY MAIL HOW TO GROW OLIVES So rapidly is interest growing in the olive as a great coming California in- California olive orchards promise an immensely long life of usefulness, according to the university, for in Europe olive trees hundreds of years old are still producing profitable crops. THE KING AUTO Artemas Ward, Jr., President of the King Motor Car Company has caused to be copywrited an interesting diagram that shows the even and continuous flow of power to the rear wheels of the 8-cylinder automobile in comparison to the power impulses of the four and six-cylinder motors as transmitted to the rear wheels. The idea which is quite unique has caused a big demand to be made on the King Motor Car company for one of these diagrams which are being distributed by application to the King factory at Detroit. Worked out by I. D. Rocap, technical engineer of the King company while he was lecturing on the eight cylinder King chassis at the auto shows the idea is simple and explains with a great degree of thoroughness the evenness of power of the eight-cylinder motor. The diagram, which is in the hands of Gus Stern of Fullerton, local agent for the King, shows the power impulses from the four, six and eight cylinder motors as they would register on the outside of the tire if that were practically possible to obtain such an illustration. It explains that the evenness of the power impulses of the eight cylinder motor car has no gaps to be bridged by momentum, no high and low power periods, but a swift flowing stream of energy, easy on tires, mechanism and passengers.

Would they confirm their statements after years have elapsed if their experiences did not show the remedy to be deserving of it? Statements like the following must carry conviction to the mind of every reader: Mrs. Joaheim Luneburg, 122 S. Claudlina St., Anaheim, says: "I suffered from rheumatic pains for some time. My back was weak and it seemed as if I was lame all over. On a friend's advice, I used Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Mullinix's Drug store, and they helped me from the first. Continued use left me without a sign of kidney complaint or rheumatic pains." (Statement given May 9, 1907.) On February 15, 1916, Mrs. Luneburg said: "I use Doan's Kidney Pills when I need any kidney medicine and always receive prompt relief. I gladly confirm my former endorsement."
