BREAD WEIGHTS ARE FIXED BY ORDINANCE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ADOPT COUNTY SEALER GEORGE McPHEE'S SUGGESTIONS APPOINTMENT OF OFFICIALS FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION UNDER CONSIDERATION Acting in accordance with the recommendation of George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures, the board of supervisors at the last meeting adopted an ordinance fixing the weight of loaves of bread. The new ordinance prevents bakers or others dealing in bread from selling any but loaves weighing 12 ounces or multiples of 12. The ordinance does not apply to crackers, pretzels, biscuits, buns, rolls or loaves of fancy bread, weighing less than one fourth of a pound avoirdupois, or what is commonly known as stale bread. The ordinance also requires the dealer, whenever requested by a buyer, to weigh the bread. All inspections of the weight of bread shall be made on the premises of the maker or manufacturer and all weight of bread shall be determined by taking an average weight of not less than twenty loaves. The penalty provided for violation of the ordinance is a fine not less than $10 or imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed 100 days. The ordinance was passed by an unanimous vote of the A case recently given prominence in the news of the day illustrates the need of this. In the news story all Californians read that a concern engaged in the business of preparing California vegetables for the market had been prohibited from shipping its products to other states by the federal authorities because the condition under which they were prepared did not meet with the requirements as to the cleanliness the Federal public health service demanded. In this particular case it seems that the California manufacture could make and handle goods and sell them to Californians which a due regard to the health of the consumer caused the national government to stop at the state line. This indicates a lack of either legal regulation of Californian's food handling or a lack of propepr execution of the health laws of the state. Surely what is detrimental or endangers the health of people of other states should not be fed to Californians. California consumers are entitled to the best that can be produced, but they are double entitled to have only such foodstuffs sold to them as may be safely eaten. The fruit and vegetables produced in California are surpassed in quality by none in the world. The market for them, in fresh and preserved state, is world wide, and the importance of the great industry which has been built up in growing and preserving those fruits and vegetables calls for protection against any possibility of injury by careless handling, especially when it is of such a nature that it brings down the condemnation of the chief of the Health Department of the United States. The legislature would promptly and gladly provide such regulations as may be lacking if the manufacturers of foodstuffs called it to their attention and assisted in framing the statute so as to make it effective.

The ordinance was passed by an unanimous vote of the members of the board present. Demands on the county of Orange were allowed as read. The bonds for the improvement of the Santa Ana canyon road furnished by H. Clay Kellogg, were approved. The clerk was directed to notify persons on the approved list that their names were being considered for appointment as election officers for the general election, Nov. 7, 1916. G. W. Clement, farmer at the county farm, was granted a vacation of two weeks. The application of A. S. Bradford, trustee, for a franchise for laying water mains through the town of Placentia, was set for Nov. 8, 1916, at 11 a.m. Said franchise is to be sold at that time. The bid of the Southern California Edison company for furnishing light for Garden Grove lighting district at $1.25 per lamp per month, was accepted. Fumigating licenses were ordered issued to S. W. Miller and Emil Dumke and a spraying license was ordered issued to Edwin O. Haueter and Walter R. Ward, on recommdation of the horticultural commissioner. The application of the Pacific Tel. & Tel. company to make excavation in the county highway at a point on Newport road and Walnut Way, was granted. The application of D. A.

The District Attorney was given a leave of absence from the state for 60 days from Oct. 5, 1916. Ordinance No. 140 requiring vendors of ice and other commodities to have scales tested by the county sealer of weights and measures and fixing a penalty for violation thereof, was passed and adopted. Bids were received for improvement The legislature would promptly and gladly provide such regulations as may be lacking if the manufacturers of foodstuffs called it to their attention and assisted in framing the statute so as to make it effective. Such action of the manufacturers in going promptly to the legislature will remove the evil effects of the condemnation of one manufacturer's methods which has gone out to the world. The demand for proper laws and the insistence upon their enforcement will be accepted by the users of California foodstuffs abroad and at home as ample evidence that it is not the rule to disregard approved health regulations among California manufacturers. If the manufacturers themselves make the demand it will more firmly establish in them among their customers than if they wait for the demand to come from other sources. In such a move the California manufacturers will have the support of all classes of people at home, and they will give their efforts to secure a still larger use of California made goods, by residents of California, an impetus the justness of their cause and the excellence of their products amply entitle them to receive. STOP IN TRANSIT A NEW PRIVILEGE Railroads Adopt Plan That Will be Beneficial to California Shippers The "stop in transit" privilege has been adopted by the transcontinental lines, according to an announcement by C. E. Virden, general manager of the California Fruit Distributors, the general marketing agency for the California deciduous fruits, but the date on which it will go into effect has not yet been fixed. This makes no difference, however, as the innovation would be of no use until the next fruit season opens. The importance of the "stop in transit" privilege rests in the widening of the markets for California fruits. Under the new agreement, California shippers can stop a car of fruit those fruits and vegetables calls for protection against any possibility of injury by careless handling, especially when it is of such a nature that it brings down the condemnation of the chief of the Health Department of the United States.

KEEP UP STANDARD OF CALIFORNIA MANUFACTURES The efforts of the manufacturers and producers of California through their representative organizations, to bring about a larger use by Californians of the goods produced and manufactured in this state, is a commendable one. It is founded on correct economic principles and will be of benefit to all classes of business men and workers in the state. But there are some things to be attended to by the manufacturers beyond the lines of pointing out that it is proper to use California made goods. They have a duty to themselves and the state at large to perform which calls for an insurance that Californians shall be given as high class of goods as outsiders are furnished with. Reductions in transcontinental freight rates by the Southern Pacific, the Santa Fe and the Western Pacific railways, announced Wednesday, to become effective November 24, will, it is declared, result advantageously to California growers and shippers. The changes, it was explained, were the result of a periodic traffic adjustment. The rate on oleo oil and oleo stearines in packages, minimum shipment 36,000 pounds, from California terminals and intermediate points to all eastern territory, will be reduced to $1.25 per 100 pounds. Under the new rates mixed car loads of shellled and unshelled nuts and kernels may be shipped at carload rates, applicable to each and to all eastern territory.

Hickerson gave a reading, the subject being "Christ in the Andes." The story was beautifully told and showed what an influence for peace this statue had between the Chillians and Argentines. The story continuing, says: In the high Andes lying between the countries of Chille and Argentine, South America, is a beautiful statue of Christ. It stand erect, at a height of about 15,000 feet above sea level. At its base is carved in enduring granite, this inscription: "Sooner shall these mountains crumble into dust, than Chileans and Argentines shall break the peace, which, at the feet of Christ the Redeemer, they have sworn to maintain." This wonderful monument to international peace was fixed on the boundary line of the two countries at a time when war was imminent. It is a matter of congratulation among women that this happy termination of hostilities, or threatened hostilities, between the two countries should have been brought about by the efforts of a woman, Senora de Costa, president of the Christian association of Buenos Ayres. With a seal worthy of the noble cause in which she labored, she raised funds, and the monument was set up with impressive ceremonies, March 15, 1904. Instead of war between the two countries over a strip of mountain land on their boundary, both agreed to an international tribunal. Reason and justice triumphed and neither blood nor tears were shed. The money that would have been spent in fruitless destruction of life and property was voted to build a great system of highways.

In the Baltimore platform, on which Wilson was elected president is the following plank: "The high cost of living is a serious problem in every American home. The republican party, in its platform, attempts to escape from responsibility for present conditions by denying that they are due to a protective tariff. We take issue with them on this subject, and charge that excessive prices result in a large measure from the high tariff laws enacted and maintained by the republican party and from such trusts and commercial conspiracies fostered and encouraged by such laws, and we assert that no substantial relief can be secured for the people without import duties on the necessaries of life are materially reduced and these criminal conspiracies are broken up." A 14 per cent increase in the cost of the principal food stuffs is the way the democrats and the Wilson administration have kept this pledge to the people: Increases in the cost of the principal articles of food could not have been affected by the European war prior to June 1914, and as food products im- "Made In California" We as individuals, whenever possible should encourage excellence in our community by giving preference to "Made in California" products.

Heitzhusen INCREASED COST OF LIVING Under the Wilson administration and the democratic tariff law the cost to the people of the United States, for 15 articles of food alone has increased in the last four years approximately one-seventh. An American family, under the Taft administration, that spent $300 per year for these foods, is now paying for the same articles, under the Wilson administration, $342 annually. Figuring five persons to a family this is an increase of $8.40 for every man, woman and child in the United States, or the stupendous total of more than $800,000,000. Under the Underwood tariff law and the Wilson administration the high cost of living has increased by leaps and bounds. Since June, 1912, up to June, 1916, according to the latest available government statistics there has been an increase of 14 per cent in most of the staple foods. The democrats have not kept their promise, made in the Baltimore platform, to reduce the high cost of living. On the contrary every family in the United States is paying higher prices for the principal articles of food, 14 per cent higher than it cost we ought to quit," they present the tariff question in its proper phase, and republicans will be glad to discuss it from that viewpoint. "On even terms." That is exactly the basis of the democratic free trade policy. Republicans are fundamentally opposed to placing the American producer on even terms with the producers of Europe and Asia. We believe in higher standards of living and also in the higher wage scales which are essential thereto. We protest against placing the American workman on a level with the laborer in China and Japan. We cannot consent to place him on even terms with the laborer in any free trade country in Europe. Experience has demonstrated that when American industries are compelled to compete on even terms with those of other countries, the American industries must quit, for the American workman will not and should not accept the foreign standard. We quit after the enactment of the democratic tariff law of 1893 and we were quitting again in 1914, until the war broke out and furnished us an artificial protection at the same time that it gave us an abnormal market. The American workman can compete on even terms as to wages and standards of living with the workmen of other countries, but they won't and the voters of this country, at the election in November, will not ask them to. CALIFORNIA BANKS ARE LENDING MORE MONEY Although the actual cash on hand, gold and silver bullion, in the 570 banks and branches of California during the past sixty days has fallen off $1,128,976, the total resources and liabilities of the banks have increased $17,972,053, according to the report of State Bank Commissioner W. E. Williams. The decrease in available cash is held to indicate that money throughout the state is easy and banks are lending for development.

The same spirit seems to prevail in Pasadena, Long Beach, Pomona and other outside cities threatened with being swallowed up with greater Los Angeles. Recently citizens of Orange county prepared a banquet and invited representative citizens from Whittier to a meeting at Brea. At that time a cordial invitation was extended to the Whittler district to join with the Orange boosters in their ballwick. The matter was given close attention and filed away for future reference. Pomona has also been approached by the Orange county people, and, like Whittier, is considering the invitation. Pomona has always had aspirations to become a county seat and is now working on a scheme to that end. San Bernardino county is also flirting with Pomonans and wants to add to its already vast acres. Long Beach would not be averse to taking Pomona and Whittier in a new county to be called Long Beach county, with the capital close to the beach.
