The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter ORGANIZING THE NATION "Conscription" is an unpleasant word. So is "draft." Even the phrase "selective conscription," has failed to take the edge off the popular prejudice against the system favored by the president, the army and navy authorities and most of the men in positions of public responsibility throughout the country. Perhaps we need a new phrase, Certainly the thing itself is not so objective as the critics represent it. No such "draft" is proposed as the only one of which our nation has had experience—the civil war draft. That was a system of partial and vicious application, which permitted the rich or well-to-do citizen to buy immunity from military service and sent the poor man to the front. It was not "universal service," and it was not democratic. Present plans have little in common with that system. They propose a democratic standard of service admitting of no evasions among the eligible, and yet making all proper exceptions for physical incapacity, support of dependents, etc. And there is another vitally important distinction. The Civil war draft took men only for the army. No service was considered but military service. Today, in accordance with the vastly different variation of food and to the elimination of waste. "The city householder, however, is recommended to consider the meat problem as well as vegetables. When a business man goes to lunch he may order a meat course at fifty cents, a baked potato for ten cents, and expects bread and butter thrown in. Complete the menu any way he pleases, that fifty cents item stares him in the face. "This means chickens and possibly Belgian hares in the back yard, and the raising of something to feed them, in addition to the table waste. Do not over do it. Six hens to the family will generally be all that is desirable; in some cases three would be better. Potatoes may be cheap next winter, but poultry and eggs will not be." HIGH SCHOOL NOTES A box social was held Wednesday evening, April 25, for the purpose of raising money for the Student Body. About thirty boxes were sold, nearly every one bringing a dollar. A pleasing contest was held in which Rudolph Jacobson took first prize, a blue and gold pennant. Although not so very many were present, all that were enjoyed a good time. Besides proving a jolly entertainment it was a financial success also. The boxes were beautifully decorated, the colors being either red, white and blue or blue and gold. Those who were not there missed a good time. In Assembly Monday several musical numbers were given by members of the Santa Ana Junior College. The Santa Ana Junior College is to present a pagan called "The Princess," soon, and several of their musicians came over to show us what good music we might expect at the pagan. Following the musical program a military training camp has completed arrangements headquarters to take care of 20 years and 9 months all qualified men of California to grasp this opposing this training for Reserve Corps.

OIL FIELD The outlook for the oil business in the fie county has taken on a land it is a settled fact materials can be secured of the wells a tremendous new work will be undertaken present time no devil has been shut down or drilling wells standing want of drilling pipe carry on the work. A representative of o eat oil supply hous stated that while they was not what you could any means, yet pipe was the Eastern mills and immediate needs of the ing supplied. The supply he admitted, but careful use of the supplies w operators over until tion would assume no again. The shortage of gas oil is so pronounced a for petroleum products the price is conducive of a large amount of gardless of the fact th Present plans have little in common with that system. They propose a democratic standard of service admitting of no evasions among the eligible, and yet making all proper exceptions for physical incapacity, support of dependents, etc. And there is another vitally important distinction. The Civil war draft took men only for the army. No service was considered but military service. Today, in accordance with the vastly different conditions of modern warfare, the eligible citizen is to be enlisted for national service, which is something incomparably bigger and broader. European experience has shown that it now requires five men behind the lines for every soldier at the front. That is to say, only one man out of six is used for actual fighting. But instead of confining compulsory service to that sixth man who wears a uniform, we are to apply it to the whole six. Under a universal service law, the entire able bodied and able minded manhood of the country would be enlisted, and then every man would be assigned to the work for which he was most fitted. There are four great classes of soldiers in this war of nations. There are the fighting men, the transportation men, the factory workers and the agricultural workers. The last three classes are every bit as important as the first. Their ranks must be filled. A proper proportion must be maintained among the four classes. It can only be done by thorough organization of the nation's male citizenship. The 'no called "conscription" plan would simply register every man, and then tell him to do what he can do best. If he's potentially a good fighter, very well—he'll be a soldier. There are millions of Americans who would like to be soldiers. But the chances are at least five to one that he'll be kept in civilian life, with credentials to show that he's not "slacker." And he'll be working under intelligent federal direction, knowing that all the work of his hand and brain will count toward the great national purpose of winning the war. Why should anybody object to that? POTATOES OR POULTRY What relation to the present crisis is ab teopluparhSHRDLU CMFWY P has the popular outcry for city gardening?

The Seniors had the affirmative and were represented by Dorothy Hunt and Dorothy Garrison, while the Sophomores argued on the negative, ably upheld by Robert Peltzer and Kenneth Wallace. In winning the debate the Sophomores became the champions of the school for this year. Tuesday Anaheim lost the second league baseball game to Santa Ana by a 3 to 1 score. This was a hard fought battle with most of the damage done in the first inning when Santa Ana scored two runs and in the same inning we scored our only run.

Being an enthusiastic backyard gardner himself, Dean Thomas F. Hunt of the University of California, college of agriculture has been moved to reply as follows: "City lot gardening helps in a minor way, and is to be encouraged so long as it does not prevent seeing the larger problem and taking measures to solve it. This is a real danger. The responsibility for winning this war must not be placed upon women and children. "Even though the cost of water may be more than the value of the crops raised, city gardening will add to the total food supply. In the present crisis it is not cheap food but abundance of food that is needed. Even though the city man's food cost him twice as much through his backyard as when it comes from the farm, he is making a real contribution to the food supply of his country. It simply results in spending less of his income for something else. "If city men could be transferred to the country, their labor would be more effective. Unless the Allies win this war for us, many men now in the cities must be transferred to the country. Nevertheless, there will be men, women and children who must remain in the city, and who can raise food. There is also good mental discipline in raising vegetables by the sweat of one's brow. It induces to the conser- Throop Camp is planned as a supplementary camp to the Officers' Training Camp at the Presidio, which will be established under the War Department's authority upon the campus of the Throop College of Technology. The camp will provide for a three month's course of instruction to fit men for the Officers' Reserve Corps and for active service in the commissioned ranks of the new army. Upon completion of the three months' course each applicant will be given a certificate of his military efficiency and also the recommendation of the camp commander which will be credited according to his record and advancement in the camp. Capt. Louis R. Ball, U. S. A., (retired) has been designated to command at the camp and in addition to teh officials of Throop college, will be given a competent corps of military men to give instruction in infantry and cavalry organization and tactic, aviation, engineering and camp sanitation. The government is providing all arms, equipment, instruction and material for carrying on the work of the camp. It is believed each applicant will be required to furnish his uniform, transportation to the camp and his board expenses, which will be at a very low rate. The uniforms will be of the regular army type and the cost of each complete is estimated at about $10. I. G. Pattinson of Pasadena has been appointed quartermaster of the camp and has already started arrangements for the immediate erection of the tents and mess equipment for 1500 men. Orders have been issued by the War Department to have everything in readiness by 10 o'clock of the morning of May 10. Chairman John S. Cravens of the military training camps association has completed arrangements at the headquarters to take care of all applicants, especially those over the age of 20 years and 9 months, and urges all qualified men of Southern California to grasp this opportunity of securing this training for the Officers' Reserve Corps. Blanks and information sheets are now at hand at 749 South Spring St., Los Angeles and applicants should make application before May 8 to insure acceptance. OIL FIELD NOTES The outlook for the future of the oil business in the fields of Orange county has taken on a brighter hue, and it is a settled fact that if the materials can be secured for the drilling of the wells a tremendous amount of new work will be undertaken. At the present time no development work has been shut down or are there any drilling wells standing idle for the want of drilling pipe or casing to carry on the work. A representative of one of the largest oil supply houses on the coast stated that while the pipe situation was not what you could call ideal by any means, yet pipe was moving from the Eastern mills and that all the immediate needs of the trade were being supplied. The supply was limited, he admitted, but careful and judicious use of the supplies would tide the operators over until the transportation would assume normal conditions again. The shortage of gasoline and fuel oil is so pronounced and the demand for petroleum products is so good and the price is conducive to the starting of a large amount of new work. Regardless of the fact that it costs 100 week. No. 10 is drilling at close to 3000. No. 11 is 2700, and the 10-inch has been landed an dthe 8½ is going in. No. 12 is pumping, and is still making 33% oil. It is expected that this well will make a big improvement before long and come in a big producer. The Fullerton Great West company have succeeded in getting their wells straightened out and in pretty fair shape. The company now have three wells producing a very nice production. While the oil is a little heavy and contains some water, yet the revenue will accrue rapidly with the good price of oil at the present time. The General Petroleum company whose well on the water front field on the Carson, tract was shut down temporarily has been started up again and is being carried forward with the standard tools. Some difficulty was met with in cementing the well but was overcome and the drilling of the well should continue until finished without any further difficulty. The New Era Oil company, whose wild cat well at Placentia has attracted considerable attention are temporarily delayed until some special tools can be made for the continuation of the work. The method used is a combination of the standard and hydraulic methods and the adoption of the idea to the drilling of an oil well has called for a number of special tools. The Olinda Land company is making remarkable progress on the two wells drilling on the eastern frontier of the Brea Fullerton field. They now have No. 17 down 3100 feet and the indications are strong for a good well. No. 18 is going nicely at 2552. This company has a large acreage and the getting of a good well will encourage further work. A special production will be presented Sunday matinee and night, "The Downfall of a Mayor," featuring ex-Mayor Sebastain, in person, of Los Angeles. This especially fine production is now on its second big week at Clunes' Auditorium, Los Angeles and will continue showing at that theatre for several more weeks to come, but owing to the fact that the Auditorium is closed on Sundays, the manager of the New Grand succeeded in making arrangements for the entire production for the one day only. Those who wish to see it will have to reserve their seats early as capacity business is expected at both matinee and night. Mr. Sebastian will appear in person at both shows and address the audience with a few interesting remarks pertaining to the details of the picture. All the Los Angeles papers are unanimous in their praise of "Invisible Government, or the Downfall of a Mayor." The picture is remarkably interesting. It is one of the most intelligently constructed and photographed pictures of its kind that has yet been present mediate needs of the trade were being supplied. The supply was limited, he admitted, but careful and judicious use of the supplies would tide the operators over until the transportation would assume normal conditions again. The shortage of gasoline and fuel oil is so pronounced and the demand for petroleum products is so good and the price is conducive to the starting of a large amount of new work. Regardless of the fact that it costs 100 per cent more today to drill an oil well than it did a year ago every oil company in the local field is going right ahead with its development work. This field has maintained the same number of wells drilling as it had a year ago, and has added since the opening of the year 36 new producing wells to the oil resources of the field. The Amalgamated Oil company has outlined a development program that calls for a large amount of development work, and have already gotten a considerable portion of it under way. The rig for Hualde No. 2 has been completed and the Head Drilling company commence this week drilling the well. At Hualde No. 9 progress is being delayed temporarily on account of a fishing job. No. 26 is drilling at 3650 in the oil sand, it is looking very good and will doubtless be a big well. On the Anaheim Union Water company's property they have the material on the ground for the building of a derrick for No. 56. The Brea Canyon Oil company are going right ahead with the work of swedging out the casing on their No. 28, and present indications are hopeful for the successful joining together of the casing and the recovery of the well. This well was put out of commission a couple of weeks ago on account of the shifting of the formation and the consequent breaking of the casing. This company are drilling at No. 29 and are down 2150. At No. 5 the work of redrilling is well underway and new hole will be in order in a few days. A report to the effect that the Copa De Ora Oil company operating in Chino canyon had secured a well caused considerable excitement in the field early in the week. The well is nearing the point where something good is expected and the report carried a great deal of weight to people idea to the drilling of an oil well has called for a number of special tools. The Olinda Land company is making remarkable progress on the two wells drilling on the eastern frontier of the Brea Fullerton field. They now have No. 17 down 3100 feet and the indications are strong for a good well. No. 18 is going nicely at 2552. This company has a large acreage and the getting of a good well will encourage further work. The Standard Oil company is setting a killing pace for development work on the new Montebello oil field and is showing us where rapid progress can be made in development work. They have Baldwin No. 2 down 1260 feet in a very hard formation. No. 3, started drilling the latter part of last week, and is now down 1000 feet, a very good ercord indeed. No. 4 is rigging up and will be spudded in before the end of the week. On the Temple property the Standard has No. 1 down 1550. On the Dominguez the Standard is making good progress on the second attempt to get a well. Three hundred feet was made with the rotary last week and at this rate the well will be completed in record time, compared with other operators who are endeavoring to get a well down along the ocean front. The Western Development company is making good progress drilling their initial well in the Montebello field, having gotten their well down to 1700 feet. The chances of this company getting a good well are very good as the field looks promising now. The Standard company announces this week its intention to abandon the Lemke well in the Brea field. The well was drilled three years ago to a depth of 3600 feet and when brought in never made better than 60 bbls. of oil at the most. The production gradually fell off to a few bbls. of oil that was heavy and difficult to handle. The sands seem to be exhausted. The materials saved from the abandonment are worth more for the carrying on of new work. The Standard is keeping up with the development work on the Emery lease with four wells drilling two of which are nearing completion. On the Murphy property they are pushing the new work along and have nine strings of tools running. A new rig marks Mr. Sebastian will appear in person at both shows and address the audience with a few interesting remarks pertaining to the details of the picture. All the Los Angeles papers are unanimous in their praise of "Invisible Government, or the Downfall of a Mayor." The picture is remarkably interesting. It is one of the most intelligently constructed and photographed pictures of its kind that has yet been presented to the public. Of course the high lights all have to do with the underworld and its people, and they set forth the various exploits that raised Mr. Sebastian from a patrolman to be chief of police and then mayor of Los Angeles. The events have been selected by a good picker and they are full of very real interest. There is a seeming verity to the various scenes that is usually lacking in underworld plays, and there is a most unusual amount of good acting in it. Mr. Sebastian does surprisingly well. He has learned his lesson well, never looks at the camera, he goes about his work like a veteran and succeeds in admirable fashion. The story is really interesting, not only for home consumption, but for general use through the country. There is a very real kick to a lot of the scenes. Mr. Sebastian's intimate knowledge of the underworld has allowed him to get in touch with many types that have been used advantageously in the picture, and a scene is generally just what it is represented to be. There is, apparently, little or no faking in the picture. A realistic opium den setting adds atmosphere to the play. It vividly portrays Graft, Women, Chinatown and the famous third degree. A real treat is promised to all who can possibly arrange to be at the New Grand Sunday. The matinee will be at 2:30 and at night promptly at 8:00. Friday and Saturday another fine Bluebird program, presenting "Little Miss Nobody," featuring Violet Mersereau. All Bluebird productions are shown at the New Grand in advance of Los Angeles. Charley Chaplin will be on the same program in one of his very best comedies, namely "The Police." Two shows will be given nightly and matinee Saturday at 2:30. dicted to come in a gusher. On A report to the effect that the Copa De Ora Oil company operating in Chino canyon had secured a well caused considerable excitement in the field early in the week. The well is nearing the point where something good is expected and the report carried a great deal of weight to people who know the oil business, on that account. The well is now better than 3100 feet deep and in a formation that has promising possibilities. The formation is a combination of coarse and fine gray sand and colorings in the baller show oil. The well will be cemented in a few days and after the cement has set an opportunity will be given for the testing of the well. The writer believes it will be necessary to go down to better than 3300 feet before an appreciable amount of oil will be secured, and that at that depth a good light oil will be brought in. The Columbia Oil Producing company will add to the production of the local field in a very substantial manner in a few days. They have No. 26 and 27 pretty well down and near the completion point. Both wells are now better than 2700 feet and the way they they are running along together both will be finished at the same time. Both wells are looking exceedingly good. No. 29 is drilling at 2100 in a very hard sand making progress slow. The Columbia is drilling one well in the Brea field, No. 7 on the Orange lease. The depth is now 1300 feet. The Fullerton Oil company have two wells drilling and have made lots of "ditch" on both during the pastually fell off to a few bbls. of oil that was heavy and difficult to handle. The sands seem to be exhausted. The materials saved from the abandonment are worth more for the carrying on of new work. The Standard is keeping up with the development work on the Emery lease with four wells drilling two of which are nearing completion. On the Murphy property they are pushing the new work along and have nine strings of tools running. A new rig marks the location for No. 36. At Whittier they have completed No. 41 at better than 300 feet and put the well on the beam. The production is expected to be small, not over 50 bbls. Six other wells are drilling on this lease. The Union Oil company continues to lead the local field for development work, and is getting one of the deep wells of the district at Bastanchury No. 5, drilling going good at close to 4000 feet. At No. 6 drilling is at 1700. On the Berkenstock property good headway is being made on No. 2 the tools now being at 2490. The Long Beach well at Bixby stands cemented at 2600. After the well is opened up and drilling resumes the results will be watched with interest.. The Union has met with no difficulties thus far and should be the one to test out the water front territory. On the Graham Loftus four wells are drilling and material is being put on the ground for a new well, No. 42. Development work is being rushed as fast as possible on the Hole lease. Six strings are operating, one well is cemented and a new rig is going up and will be ready for drilling before the end of the week. No. 18 is drilling in hard sand at 3200. This is perhaps the best located well geologically in the Fullerton field and is pre-dicted to come in a gusher. On the Myer lease near Whittier the Union is making fine progress. The well is now 2620 with the rotary making lots of hole daily. On the Naranjal property the Union is busy drilling three wells. The Naranjal property is one of the Union's most difficult leases to drill and requires careful and slow progress. The West Coast Oil company is developing their Olinda property with three strings of tools running.

Mr. Cozzolino, partner of W. HERE IS A PUZZLE FOR YOU TO SOLVE On the day the bakers of Los Angeles printed their announcement that after April 29 all 24 ounce loaves of bread would be priced at 15 cents, May wheat closed in Chicago at $2.54. BEER WITHOUT A KICK Speaking of White Ribbon beer, the new beverage which is bound to be popular, especially in prohibition districts, the Seattle Times gives it a boost. Mr. Cozzolino, partner of W. E. Alexander, in the Union Brewery of Anaheim, is the inventor. This institution will shortly put it on the market. The Times says: After ceaseless efforts and a nationwide search the men who had furnished the brains and the money for the great plant of the Seattle Brewing & Malting company in Georgetown, found a chemist who by the application of scientific methods is now effecting the reclamation of these properties and will give to Seattle an industry employing more men and dispensing more money than the huge brewery which distributed its product by train and steamship to the far corners of the earth. He is D. Cozzolino, a wizard of chemistry, who is perfecting a process by which the alcohol is extracted from beer without affecting its appearance, taste or aroma. It is real beer made from malt, hops and rice by methods adopted by the old brewmasters of Germany—but without the kick. The manufacture of a cereal beverage, as the new beer will be called, however, is only one product of many to be produced by the great plant. The main section of the cluster of buildings will be converted into the largest industrial distillery in the country for the manufacture of denatured alcohol, invaluable in the manufacture of artificial silk, smokeless powder, liquid soap, paint, varnish, refined oils, polish preparations and many medicinal extracts. Other products that will soon be produced in the big establishment will include Maltose syrup, yeast, malt vinegar and cattle foods. A marvelous process is the extraction of the alcohol from the beer as it is being brewed. The formula used at the Seattle industrial distillery has been approved by the government and the entire process is closely watched by internal revenue officers, who keep the tanks locked until the alcohol is denatured and no longer of any use. HERE IS A PUZZLE FOR YOU TO SOLVE On the day the bakers of Los Angeles printed their announcement that after April 29 all 24 ounce loaves of bread would be priced at 15 cents, May wheat closed in Chicago at $2.54, July wheat at $2.16 and September at $1.87 a bushel. Make due allowance for the fact that sugar, shortening, milk and wrapping paper have increased in cost as well as flour. In the light of that knowledge, contrast prices in bread in Los Angeles, and elsewhere in the United States, with prices in Great Britain, that eats bread made from American flour. On March 23 wheat was selling in England at 90 shillings a quarter, which is at the rate of $2.70 a bushel. The Society of Principal Wholesale and Retail Bakers of London accordingly advanced the price of bread. When the war broke out the quarter loaf was selling at 5½ pence, being at the rate of a little over 4 cents for our 24ounce loaf. In January, 1916, when the war had been in progress for year and a half, bread was still selling in London at a price to meet which our 24 ounce loaf would have had to sell for less than 7 cents. With wheat at $2.70 a bushel the British bakers last month advanced the price of their four-pound loaf to a level exactly equivalent to 9 cents for our 24ounce loaves. For sugar, shortening, milk and wrapping paper, English bakers are almost wholly dependent upon imported supplies. Yet consumers in America, where the wheat is grown, must pay 15 cents for the same weight of bread that is sold in London at 9 cents—and the English bakers make a profit. By the same token, potatoes are selling in London for 3 cents a pound. We who grow the wheat and make the flour are to pay nearly twice as much for bread as is paid by consumers across the seas. What's the answer?—L. A. Tribune. One of the new fangled war devices which strongly contrasts the present system of fighting with that of former days, is on exhibition in the German-American bank.

A marvelous process is the extraction of the alcohol from the beer as it is being brewed. The formula used at the Seattle industrial distillery has been approved by the government and the entire process is closely watched by internal revenue officers, who keep the tanks locked until the alcohol is denatured and no longer of any use in the manufacture of intoxicants. After the alcohol has been extracted a new cereal beverage identical in taste, color and smell with beer is at hand. Even the aroma from the steaming mash is saved, the vapor being caught in a tank, where it is condensed and returned to the beverage which does not contain a trace of alcohol or a suggestion of intoxicating properties. The perfection of the process by which the alcohol is extracted from the beer is the achievement of years of effort on the part of Cozzolino and is demonstrative of modern industrial chemistry and its possibilities. One of the new fangled war devices which strongly contrasts the present system of fighting with that of former days, is on exhibition in the German-American bank. It is a motorcycle with a side attachment for carrying a gun. The gun may be either a shotgun, a high-powered rifle or a machine gun capable of throwing a quart or two of bullets a minute. This contrivance makes soldiering easy, and even an old man or a man with corns on his feet can be an effective fighter. All that is required of him is to steer the motorcycle with one hand and manipulate the firing apparatus with the other. As the gun attachment adds another wheel there is no danger of upsetting.
