NOW IS THE TIME TO PLANT YOUR GARDENS ANAHEIM BOARD OF TRADE WILL ASSIST IN PROMOTING NEW IDEA EVERY ACRE AND ALL VACANT LOTS TO BE PUT UNDER CULTIVATION What the board of trade lacked in attendance Monday night was made up with enthusiasm relative to the planting of vegetables and to thus relieve the threatening shortage of foodstuffs that now is engaging the attention of the nation. Plant something, is the slogan. Make two blades grow where only one grew before. The boy scouts have enlisted their services and the young men are to be heartily congratulated. They can accomplish much and should be given every inducement by the citizens of this city and vicinity. There is nothing more unbeatable in the hands of the printer. Secretary Whitaker reported that the invitation of this city extended to the Seventh Day Adventists to hold their camp meeting here, had been accepted. The meeting will convene on August 16th next and will continue for one week. It is estimated that 2000 people will be in attendance. The meeting will be held on the high school grounds, and the city will furnish free light and water. Chairman Eygabroad of the river protection committee reported that maps of the Anaheim district had been prepared and that the petition to the supervisors had been signed up and presented to that body. The petition will be heard on May 2, and in all probability the protection district will be ordered formed. Rights of way for the new channel have been secured and everything is in readiness to go ahead with the reclamation work. The Yorba people are also making progress with their district, and the two sections will no doubt form one district embracing all lands from the Olive to the Yorba bridges and extending west to a point near the Garden Grove road. The speeding of autos came in for severe censure, and it was suggested that every citizen cooperate with the city marshal and his deputies and report all speed maniacs who break the city marshal says he is with enthusiasm relative to the planting of vegetables and to thus relieve the threatening shortage of foodstuffs that now is engaging the attention of the nation. Plant something, is the slogan. Make two blades grow where only one grew before. The boy scouts have enlisted their services and the young men are to be heartily congratulated. They can accomplish much and should be given every inducement by the citizens of this city and vicinity. There is nothing more unsightly than a vacant lot covered with weeds, and now is a good time to get rid of them. Let the young men get a neckhold on all these places and let the good work proceed. The main topic discussed at the board of trade meeting Monday evening was the raising of foodstuffs. A communication had been received from the secretary of the department of agriculture at Washington, asking that a united effort upon the part of the people be made to bring every acre of available land under cultivation. The planting season is at hand, and if all would give a few hours attention every day to raising vegetables, much would be accomplished to relieve the stringent food situation. The merchants' association at a recent meeting have created a fund of $50, the same to be used to be offered as prizes to boys who would produce the best gardens. All back yards could be used for vegetable raising, and in fact any lot where water is available could be put to good use. A committee consisting of Messrs. Krause, Bayliss and Whitaker were appointed to wait upon the board of trustees and endeavor to have city water turned on to lots wherever that would be practical. The boy scouts to the number of sixty or more stand ready to put all vacant lots under cultivation. The boys are energetic and will give a good account of themselves in helping to keep down the high cost of living. The city trustees will be asked to give the boy scouts a half rate for water to be used on all available vacant lots. This would be a commendable act. It was suggested that a good plan would be to secure a tract of land; say ten or fifteen acres, and put the same under cultivation. Water for that purpose may be secured from the Anaheim Union Water company, and it is proposed to put a large force of boy scouts to work upon the land. A fine garden could thus be established and by a more concentrated action it is believed the venture could be brought The speeding of autos came in for severe censure, and it was suggested that every citizen cooperate with the city marshal and his deputies and report all speed maniacs who break the laws. The city marshal says he is handicapped in apprehending speeders, because when he and his men are in sight, there are no infractions of the law. The marshal recited one case where an auto driver burnt up about twenty yards of pavement, in order to stop his car, when he saw the marshal come into view. Plain clothes cops could do better work in catching these speeders. The practice of running machines at high speed is extremely dangerous and many times pedestrians have had to jump to save their lives while crossing the down town streets. One gentleman said he saw a motorcyclist going out West Center street the otehr day at a rate he estimated to be 120 miles an hour. The speeder should have been arrested and detained. The county motor cops may be induced to operate in this vicinity and the local officers will do all in their power to check this reckless driving. F. A. Backs received a communication from a couple of Los Angeles promoters who said they had a proposition (the nature of which however, they would not divulge) that would employ from 1500 to 2000 people and having a payroll running into the thousands per month. They desired a twenty-acre tract of land for the "factory" and a bonus of $75,000—or more. The proposition had too much blue sky in it to suit the members and the communication was consigned to the waste basket. OLD VETERANS VISIT ANAHEIM COMRADE Mr. and Mrs. C. S.

A fine garden could thus be established and by a more concentrated action it is believed the venture could be brought down to a business proposition of some magnitude. It would give the boys valuable lessons in agriculture which would be of inestimable value to them. The Ebell Society has also taken an interest in the food raising project and members will do all within their power to promote the planting of gardens. The Chautauqua committee reported fine progress in arranging plans for the coming Chautauqua meeting which will be held on West Center street, near Clementine street, on May 9-15. The meeting is attracting wide attention and many thousand people will be in attendance. Programs of unusual interest will be rendered, "Pinafore" being one of the main features. Speakers of national reputation will be present during the meeting and a rare treat is in store for all who attend. The ticket committee is now engaged selling tickets for the meeting and they report a general demand for them.. A committee of twenty men will be put in the field for that purpose and it is the intention to have everyone in this section if possible, in attendance during the week's session. Mr. Bayliss suggested that more traffic guides be placed at busy street intersections and that matter will be taken up with the city trustees.

Keller and S. W. Wallis of Long Beach last week. Both of these gentlemen are veterans of the civil war, and of course Comrade Troutman gave them a hearty welcome. During the war Comrade Keller served in the 142d Pennsylvania volunteers, while Comrade Wallis belonged to the 153d Illinois regiment. Messrs. Troutman and Keller were associate school boys back in Pennsylvania, but until they chanced to meet at Huntington Park a year ago, they had not seen each other for 59 years. They separated during their youthful days, Mr. Troutman going to Illinois, but when the civil war broke out both were found in the ranks fighting for their country. All three of these veterans have smelled powder and dodged bullets on various occasions, having served through the entire war, and all want to enlist in defense of Old Glory, but are prevented by a hard-hearted government which fixes the age limit so low that they find it impossible to convince a recruiting officer they are eligible. However restrictions do not prevent them joining the home guards, and if the occasion should arise they would no doubt give a good account of themselves. Mr. Troutman always keeps a high powered rifle and forty rounds of ammunition in his house, and is ready for any emergency if his country needs him. The case of Matsunaga vs. Wood, in which $10,000 damages is asked, due to alleged careless driving when the defendant ran over a Japanese child in this city, has been set for trial on June 21. Mr. Martin lauded first because of serve peace, and he is making such great fight since waking upon us. Let us sponsibility with er ways. If we are go into the ranks er ways.

MALCOLM C. MARTIN AT THE BUSINESS MEN'S LUNCH Patriotism, and the duty of American citizens in the present national crisis, was the theme of an address delivered by Rev. Malcolm C. Martin at the business men's luncheon Thursday. Mr. Martin is particularly fitted to talk interestingly on this subject, as he is not a native of the United States, having been born in Canada. He became a citizen, however, at the earliest moment the law would permit, and judging from his remarks Thursday there can be no question as to his loyalty to the Stars and Stripes. GEORGE HANNA HAGAR NOT A SLACKER Young Lieutenant Marries Berkeley Belle, but is Ready for War George Hanna Hagar, son of Mrs. Julia H. Hagar, was married at All Souls Chapel, Berkeley, last Monday, his bride being Miss Dorothea Mess of that city. After the ceremony the bride and groom left on a wedding trip and will return to establish their home in Berkeley, their plans depending upon national developments as Mr. Hagar holds the rank of lieutenant in the coast artillery reserve corps. Mr. Hagar is a graduate of the University of California with the class of 1913, winning his lieutenancy in his college career. He is an electrical engineer at present associated with a big San Francisco corporation. Miss Mess is a member of a pioneer family of Livermore and is talented as an artist, having studied sculpturing for some time at the San Francisco Art School. The young people will make their home with Mrs. Julia Hagar, who is a daughter of the late John Hanna of Miraflores, until the close of the war, as the young man will go into active service with his company. MANYAREJOINING HOME GUARD COMPANY FORTY-SEVEN NAMES WERE ON THE LIST FOR MEMBERSHIP THURSDAY EVENING ENTERTAINMENT FOR BENEFIT OF RED CROSS TO BE GIVEN MONDAY NIGHT Preliminary steps toward the formation of a home for the preservation of peace in this locality and the defense of our homes was taken at a mass meeting held at the board of trade rooms Thursday evening. City Marshal Kellenberger, who was formerly first lieutenant in Company E, and is familiar with army tactics, is chairman of the association which was formed a couple of weeks ago, presided, and J. H. Whitaker acted as secretary. Mr. Whitaker already had a list of 47 boys who had declared their intention of joining the company. Following are the names: SUNDAY Howard At St. Sunday morn and Miss marriage, ing the c the parti is a sister city, but Fullerton to the L the schoo Alberta s classmate them. The g promising lea assistant b until rece time ago will assu Both he cle of w will extre wishes. RECEPTION Mrs. B. Being a minister of the gospel Mr. Martin stated that his mission on earth was to advocate peace, but he believed there were times when it was necessary for people to fight against an aggressive enemy for the preservation of peace, for the integrity of the nation, for the protection of their homes and for their personal liberty. He paid a high tribute to President Wilson, who did his utmost to keep this nation out of the war, but since it has been thrust upon us is bending every energy at his command toward a successful prosecution of it. Mr. Martin was not afraid to call a spade by its proper name. He declared there were only two classes of citizens in the United States now—the patriot who is ready to stand with the government and make sacrifices in defense of the nation, and the traitor. There can be no middle class, no neutrals now. The man who is not heart and soul with the government is against it. There is plenty of room in other countries for the man who is not in sympathy with the United States and its institutions. The way is open for him to get out, and if he hasn't the money to pay railroad fare the walking is good at this season of the year. Every man and every woman should respond to the nation's call and do his or her best in this national crisis. If men are too old for military duty they can assist in other ways, and should submit to extraordinary taxation if necessary to finance the war. In times past, because we are a peace-loving people, we have lost sight of our duty as citizens, and have become biased in our pursuit of the great American dollar. But in these stirring times patriotism will assert itself. We must either offer ourselves to the nation and go to war, or we must cheerfully submit to be taxed for its maintenance. I believe in peace, but have no sympathy for those who talk peace when the nation is threatened and the lives and liberty of our people menaced. Peace AUXILIARY POLICE FOR LOCAL DUTY Organization Perfected by City Marshal for Emergency Conditions That May Arise An auxiliary police force will be organized in this city which will be under the supervision of the police committee of the board of trustees, and especially under the direction of the city marshal. On Saturday evening Marshal Kellenberger had fourteen men signed up, and up to the present writing the required number of 25 have been nearly completed. It is expected that in the next few days the full complement of men will be secured. Besides their names and addresses the men have given a list of their equipment relating to arms and ammunition. This organization will be independent of the Home Guards, although members of the police auxiliary may join that body. When the twenty-five enrollments have been secured, Marshal Kellenberger will call the men together and decide upon a series of signals, which will be sounded, for assembling the deputies, in case local conditions justified such procedure. Upon assembly the marshal has the power to at once deputize the men, and assign them for whatever duty he may deem best for the preservation of the peace. The appointment of the auxiliary police is a precautionary measure, and the new deputies will only be called in extreme cases, should such emergency arise, which at present seems remote. The police force as at present organized is fully equipped to properly police the city, and so far there has been no untoward act perpetrated by anyone, on account of the war crisis now confronting the nation.

But in these stirring times patriotism will assert itself. We must either offer ourselves to the nation and go to war, or we must cheerfully submit to be taxed for its maintenance. I believe in peace, but have no sympathy for those who talk peace when the nation is threatened and the lives and liberty of our people menaced. Peace can only come when we have eliminated by force the adverse conditions that confront us. Mr. Martin lauded President Wilson, first, because of his efforts to preserve peace, and secondly because he is making such gigantic preparations to fight since war has been thrust upon us. Let us take some of the responsibility with the president, he ways. If we are of proper age and are go into the ranks we can assist in other ways. If we are proper age and are fit physically, let us be found at a recruiting office. Mr. Martin has a brother who is an officer in the Canadian army, and also has three nephews fighting somewhere in France. His speech was a patriotic and fervent plea to the men and women of Anaheim to do their bit and assist in putting a speedy end to the enemy now threatening us. CONCERT TO BE GIVEN The Anaheim Orchestra will give their first concert at the Anaheim high school on Friday evening, April 27, under the auspices of the Anaheim lodge No. 105, K. of P. Prof. Chas. Nitschke who is the director of the orchestra has selected an excellent program of high class and popular music and will play some of his best and masterful violin solos. The police force as at present organized is fully equipped to properly police the city, and so far there has been no untoward act perpetrated by anyone, on account of the war crisis now confronting the nation. LUMBERMAN'S PICNIC, MAY 12 The lumbermen of Southern California and families have designated Orange county park as the meeting place this year and preparations are being made by the Orange county dealers to receive a large crowd from all over the Southland, from Santa Barbara to National City, and to make this the greatest annual meeting so far experienced. All of the local yards will close at 5:30, Friday, May 11th and remain closed all day Saturday, May 12th, to permit the managers and their helpers to do the entertaining in a real Orange county wholesome manner, from daybreak until dark. ANAHEIM ORCHESTRA The music loving public of Anaheim will be greatly surprised by the advancement our city has made in the musical line since Prof. Nitschke became a resident. The orchestra which he has organized consists of the best talent of the city and for the first concert he has selected an excellent program of high class and popular music. A good orchestra ought to be supported by the citizens in general and Prof. Nitschke encouraged for his work. The first concert will take place on Friday evening, April 27, at the Anaheim high school. Second installment of county taxes becomes delinquent on Monday, April 30. W. S. Bernard took advantage of the opportunity to boost the Yeoman ball to be given on Monday night, April 30, at Odd Fellows hall. Some people, he said, did not care to dance, and others loved to listen to music, consequently both classes would be provided for. The third floor will be given up to the young folks who want to dance and on the second floor a splendid musical entertainment will be in progress. Both floors, he declared, should be crowded, as the receipts will be devoted to a good and patriotic cause. The boys who are giving the entertainment compose the drill squad of the Yeoman lodge, and are putting in nights now drilling under a competent officer and fitting themselves for military duty. Pungle up whether you attend the entertainment or not. The receipts will be used in a good cause. Many men are not able to fight, but every person can carry a patriotic pocketbook, so pungle up and help the boys. SUNDAY MORNING WEDDING AT ST. MICHAEL'S CHURCH Howard Krause and Miss Lila Foss United in Holy Bonds At St. Michael's Episcopal church Sunday morning, Howard A. Krause and Miss Lila Foss were united in marriage, Rev. G. R. Messias performing the ceremony. Only relatives of the parties were present. The bride is a sister of Mrs. Harry Sears of this city, but has been a student at the Fullerton Junior college. According to the Pleiades her defection from the school room to the cottage on East Alberta street is much deplored by her classmates, as she was popular among them. The groom is one of Anaheim's promising young business men. Since leaving Pomona college he has been assistant cashier of the Anaheim National bank, of which his father was, until recently chief owner, but a short time ago he was elected cashier, and will assume that position next week. Both he and his bride have a wide circle of warm friends in this region who will extend congratulations and good wishes. RECEPTION IN HONOR OF VISITING LADY Mrs. B. V.

Individual nosegays of for-get-nots and Cecil Bruner roses marked the places of the sixteen ladies who sat at the table to enjoy the delicious luncheon served by the hostess. During the afternoon "500" was played at which the first prize, a bottle of perfume, was won by Miss Winifred Melrose, and the second, a dainty box of talcum, by Mrs. Peter Weisel, to Mrs. Mullinix, who drew an especially marked tally card, was awarded a basket of potatoes, each carefully wrapped in fine paper. MANY MEXICANS ARE QUITTING THEIR JOBS Much Unrest Reported Among Them In the Southland That Mexicans are quitting their jobs in droves and flocks and fliting elsewhere is an undeniable fact. There is a decided unrest among them, and while dissatisfaction with their wages is given as the reason in many instances, there appears to be some influence not apparent on the surface at work among them. Reports from various sections of the Southland indicate that thousands have quit work without giving any explanation, and have suddenly disappeared. Their places are being rapidly filled with white men, and nobody is grieving over the departure of the cholos. Two weeks ago thirty men employed in construction work by the telephone company quit without giving a valid reason. A few days ago thirty Mexicans on the Hewes ranch near has already been augmented by several names, and a large increase is expected within a few days. Permission to organize was granted in a telegram received by D. Jessurun Friday morning from J. L. Clymer of San Francisco, director of the Pacific division. A petition enclosing a check for the fee had been sent to Mr. Clymer, with thirteen signatures attached, and he immediately wired authority to proceed with the organization. Those who signed the petition were Mrs. Eva Boyd, J. J. Schneider, H. G. Ames, Herman Stern, Fred Backs, Jr., J. F. Ahlborn, J. W. Duckworth, Dr. J. Janse, David Jessurun, W. A. Dolan, C. E. Holcomb, C. R. Prince and F. C. Krause. Flitting about in the audience were a number of ladies dressed in the immaculate costume of the Red Cross nurse. They were soliciting members and when the lists were turned in to Mrs. Eva Boyd, the secretary, it was found that fifty-one persons had signed up and pledged themselves to the work. They are: Rev. and Mrs. M. C. Martin, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. McCord, Mrs. G. A. Gifford, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Wickett, Dr. and Mrs. H. A. Johnston, Miss Gladys Goble, Miss Freda Janss, Mr. and Mrs. V. D. Loly, Miss Katharine Redit, C. M. Hollingshead, Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Utter, Mrs. Elizabeth Longworth, Miss Helen Easton, Miss Sophie Rimpau, Miss Jane Easton, James Doyle, Miss Marie Hurtado, Mrs. Stanley Jure, Miss Marie Rimpau, Mrs. Herman Stern, Miss Annie Ryan, L. P. Nichols, Miss Helen Sloane, Miss Jessie Boyd, Mrs. H. G. Ames, Mr. and Mrs. A. Nagel, Mrs. Henry Oelke, Miss Maude Comstock, Mrs. Bertha Comstock, Mrs. Elizabeth Yoern, Mrs. Polly Kern and Mrs. Elizabeth Jessurun. A committee of three was appointed by Chairman Jessurun to select a list of officers, and in a remarkably short space of time the chairman reported the following: President, F. C. Krause. First Vice President, D. Jessurun. Second Vice President, Herman Stern. Third Vice President, H. G. Ames. Secretary, Mrs. Eva H. Boyd. Treasurer, A. B. McCord. The recommendation of the committee was indorsed by a unanimous vote and the slate was accepted without revision. That there is considerable red tape hedged about the Red Cross, and that at work among them. Reports from various sections of the Southland indicate that thousands have quit work without giving any explanation, and have suddenly disappeared. Their places are being rapidly filled with white men, and nobody is grieving over the departure of the cholos. Two weeks ago thirty men employed in construction work by the telephone company quit without giving a valid reason. A few days ago thirty Mexicans on the Hewes ranch near Orange laid down their implements. They returned the next day and offered their services again, but were told that their places had been filled by white men. Thirty-one members of the Anaheim sugar factory force struck the latter part of last week, their only excuse being that they did not like the boss. It is reported that many of them are crossing the border into Mexico. Whether it is fear that is moving them, or whether they have listened to whispers of great expectations nobody knows nor cares, but it is pretty evident there is a great exodus from Southern California. They are leaving us without ceremony, but few tears will be shed over their departure. The report that the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association was compelled to close down for lack of pickers was a mistake. The association has an ample force, but some of the packing houses in other sections have been hampered because the pickers quit. Samuel Kraemer, well known capitalist of Placentia, was a business visitor in town a few days ago and made a pleasant call at this office. The A. B. C. Embroidery club was entertained at the home of Mrs. L. Callahan on West Center street Thursday afternoon. First Vice President, D. Jessurun, Second Vice President, Herman Stern. Third Vice President, H. G. Ames. Secretary, Mrs. Eva H. Boyd. Treasurer, A. B. McCord. The recommendation of the committee was indorsed by a unanimous vote and the slate was accepted without revision. That there is considerable red tape hedged about the Red Cross, and that it is a strictly eleemosynary institution was indicated by the speeches of Chairman Jessurun and Alvin M. West of Los Angeles, Pacific coast organizer. Mr. Jessurun stated that while the Red Cross could receive contributions from individuals and could hold up municipalities, counties, states and the nation for necessary aid, it was a violation of rules for it to pay for services rendered. The room in which they hold meetings and in which provisions are stored must be free, the light, water and gas must be donated by the companies, and every person who does anything to assist in the work must do it for the good of the cause, without money and without price. Another point is that the society must have a permanent headquarters and no official business can be transacted outside of that building. Securing a suitable place is something of a problem. F. A. Backs thought the basement of the library could be secured, and he was appointed a committee of one to look after the matter. Prof. Prince offered the use of the high school, and his offer was accepted for the next meeting, but it is necessary to have an exclusive place where nothing can interfere or hampfer the work. Prof. Charles Nitschke's orchestra furnished inspiring music for the meet- Continued on page 3
