HELP ON FARMS IS SERIOUSLY NEEDED STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE ISSUES A PLEA TO PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND CITY MEN MUST VOLUNTEER TO *HELP RAISE A CROP* California's farmers must have help—man power help—if they are to plant and harvest crops which will help to win the war with Germany. 20,000 men to work as farm hands are needed immediately; 20,000 will be required when harvesting time comes. There is a serious shortage of horses and mules. Gasoline tractors are needed to take the place of draught animals. The most urgent need, however is men—men who will help to plant, cultivate and harvest crops. The farmers are doing their share. It is up to the cities—to the "city man", to do his bit by helping the farmer. Two hundred thousand city men are needed to help plant and harvest California's forthcoming crops, and by so doing, to help win the war with Germany. Fully 20,000 of them are needed right now. The others will be needed in the United States decided today to raise more horses, there would not be another single horse in this country tomorrow. What is the answer? Substitution of gasoline power for mule power on California farms. What is needed a corporation with a capital of $5,000,000 to build and man farm tractors and then rent the man and the tractor to the man on the land. The capital and the men must come from the cities. Every dollar and every man in the open country is now employed. I am putting it up to the people to furnish the money and to furnish the men, if not by a group of financiers, then by popular subscription. The only sacrifice may be a possible loss of a few dollars. If the enterprise is well managed it may even pay dividends. But I am not putting this up to you on that basis, nor deciding the best method of doing it. If you desire to win this war here is your opportunity. This is the real need. Will you meet it? Loaning three billion dollars to our allies can not help them greatly unless somebody has something to exchange for the money. If we do not have it, who will? PLACENTIA HOME GUARD BUILDING AEROPLANE Neighboring Town Preparing Craft to Fight Zeppelins A movement to establish an aeroplane squadron to work in conjunction with the Placentia Home Guards, resulted Thursday night in the beginning of construction of an aeroplane. The plane which will have a spread of wings of 36 feet, will be modeled after the United States army tractor. Oak and ash to be used in the construction of the frame, are on the plant, cultivate and harvest crops. The farmers are doing their share. It is up to the cities—to the "city man", to do his bit by helping the farmer. Two hundred thousand city men are needed to help plant and harvest California's forthcoming crops, and by so doing, to help win the war with Germany. Fully 20,000 of them are needed right now. The others will be needed when harvesting time comes. It is up to the cities to supply the farm labor which is so badly needed. The farmers are doing their share. But if they do not have help from the cities, in the shape of "man power" their efforts to help solve the food problems, will be practically wasted energy. The foregoing, in text, is the declaration of Dr. Thomas F. Hunt, dean of the college of agriculture of the University of California and acting chairman of the committee on food supply and resources of the state council of defense, who through the university farm bureau is directing California farmers in increased crop production. Telling of the need of farmers for more farm laborers, Dean Hunt says: Every farmer in California is working at top speed. He is using every dollar of capital and every ounce of muscle that he possesses. The farmers are anxious and willing to help, but without the aid of the cities he is powerless to do more. Assuming that the present war will last three years, one quarter of a million men now in the cities of California will be needed to win victory for the United States by enabling this state to do her share. Fifty thousand will be needed for ship building. The other 200,000 will be required on the farms. Not less than 20,000 are badly needed at this moment in the open country. Most people think that the raising of a surplus of food products is a rural problem. It is not—it is an urban problem. The facts are that if anything more is to be done than is now being done, the people of the cities must help, particularly those in the large cities. It is the time the American people began to deal in realities. It is all very well to talk about what women and children can do—and the more they do the better—but the need in this great emergency is strong, able-bodied men between the ages of 19 A movement to establish an aeroplane squadron to work in conjunction with the Placentia Home Guards, resulted Thursday night in the beginning of construction of an aeroplane. The plane which will have a spread of wings of 36 feet, will be modeled after the United States army tractor. Oak and ash to be used in the construction of the frame, are on the ground and under the supervision of G. M. Gordon, an oil man living at Placentia. Members of the guards began the first steps in the construction last week. The cost of the machine is to be borne by the Placentia home guard. Completed it will stand them nearly $200. A couple of weeks ago Gordon brought up the subject of building an aeroplane before the guards. The plan met with instantaneous approval and twenty-five members of the organization agreed to back it. The labor will all be performed by the members. When the machine is completed it will be equipped with an automobile engine of sufficient power to propel the aeroplane and barely lift it from the earth. Later, after members of the guard who will form the aero detail, have mastered the rudiments of flying, a bigger engine, with enough power to propel it in flight, may be installed. Gordon is an experienced airman. He was for a time an army instructor and later made a number of flights on the Pacific coast, having attempted unsuccessfully, a number of times, to fly from Portland, Ore., to Calgary, Can. Gordon worked side by side in an aeroplane factory at Hammersport, N.Y., with Lincoln Beachey, ill-fated flyer who fell to his death several years ago on the Pacific coast, and says ex-President Roosevelt made his first flight in an aeroplane with him.

It is all very well to talk about what women and children can do—and the more they do the better—but the need in this great emergency is strong, able-bodied men between the ages of 19 and 35. Unless we intend to depend upon the allies to win this war for us, one man out of every four now employed in the cities must change his occupation. There are many activities in the cities which are highly desirable in times of peace, which must be curtailed during this crisis. If the people of the cities do not solve this problem the German government will solve it for them. During the past few weeks we have conducted an agricultural inquiry in 37 counties of the state. Everywhere it is a question of power, more man power, more horse power, more mule power, more gasoline power. It has come a refrain: "Power, power, power, give us more power. Much transient labor has gone east to the munition factories. Even the horses and mules have faded away. Everybody knows where they have gone. As soon as enlisting begins in earnest the situation will rapidly become worse. Every army division of 22,000 men requires 7500 horses and mules. For every three men that enlist in the army, one horse or mule will be required to make them effective. Notwithstanding the fact that the motor truck saved Verdun, immediately behind the army of one million men there were 300,000 horses and mules. The number of horses can not be multiplied during the period of a three year's war. If every farm- At the food survey meeting at the office of the Orange County Fruit Exchange at Orange it was suggested that 1000 acres more than usual could be and would be planted this year to inter crops. It was estimated that in August and September when the citrus associations handling Valencias and lemons will have the greatest use for labor there will be a shortage of 1500 men in Orange county. At that time there will be a call for men in the sugar beet fields as well as in the citrus districts. The meeting was called at the request of the California Fruit Exchange, which is conducting a food survey at the request of the state council of defense. It was arranged by L. D. Palmer, manager of the Orange County Fruit Exchange, and was attended by thirty-five men from all over the county. The reports indicated that crops in Orange county are normal or better, excepting grain and hay, which are less than normal. It was estimated that ordinarily this year about 2500 acres of young citrus orchards would have crops planted between the rows. Under the circumstances as they exist today, the men present thought that many ranchers should inter crop where perhaps ordinarily they would not. It was thought that possibly 1000 acres could thus be secured for beans or some other food crop. There is no prospect that the county from within will be able to supply the shortage of 1500 men that it was estimated will exist in August and HEAR WM. J.

FOREST SERVICE TO INCREASE RANGE In cooperation with the food supply committee of the state council of defense, the U. S. forest service is making plans to stock to their very fullest capacity the national forest range. If the stock can be secured and money raised for necessary trails and water developments, an increase in the number on the ranges equivalent to 80,000 head of cattle might be made. District Forester DuBois and Assistant Forester Rachford left for the Sierra ranges last week. Their goal is to increase the number of stock on the forests by 80,000 head. This will involve joint use of some ranges by several owners, building of stock trails, division fences and water troughs. It may mean government riders in some cases to help out the small owner who cannot afford to keep a puncher with his few head. It may mean the diversion of some funds the forest service had planned to spend for the benefit of the recreation seeker and it will certainly mean the utilization by meat animals of some ranges hitherto reserved for the saddle and pack horses of campers and recreationists. The forest service is working right squarely with the council of defense and expects to enlist the hearty support of stockmen and recreation organizations throughout the state. Six Months for Begging: Thomas J. Troy, an able bodied man was given a sentence of six months in jail by Judge Cox because he begged for money. “There is no reason why an able bodied man cannot get a job now.” are hunting everywhere for men to help them in their beet fields. I'll just give you six months in jail." "Can't you suspend the sentence so that I can move on?" asked Weary Troy. "Nothing doing. You go to jail," responded the judge. FOOD SUBSTITUTES How may expensive foods be replaced with less expensive materials, and yet a family be as nourishingly fed as before? This question is answered in a series of suggestion which the committee on resources and food supply of the state council of defense has asked a committee of experts on nutrition, mostly from the college of agriculture of the University of California, to prepare. These suggestions have been sent by the university to every teacher of domestic science in the state, they will be taught in special courses in the summer session at Berkeley and the aid of the State Federation of Women's clubs enlisted in bringing this information to the widest possible use among all the women of California, as an aid in winning the great war. The most expensive foods are the proteins, to which group meats and milk belong, yet the proteins are indispensable. But cheaper cuts of meat may be substituted, and the toughness and possible lack of flavor of the cheaper cuts may easily be overcome by proper cooking and proper seasoning. The use of home ground meats should be encouraged, as these are inexpensive, cooked quickly, with little use of fuel, toughness is overcome, and there are great possibilities in the way of toothsome preparation. There are many meat parts not commonly in great demand—such as the heart, for instance—which may tend the flavor of meat to other food and thus give bulk to meat dishes. Thus meat can be made to go as far as possible by cooking it with dumplings and stuffing, so using up bread and cracker crumbs. which otherwise might be wasted, or baking powder biscuit dough or pie crust used. Rice, macaroni, or hominy when cooked with meat will take on a meat flavor. One way to help retain the flavor of meat is to pound flour into it. The food value in one pound of lean meat (protein alone being considered) may be obtained from two and a half quarts of milk, one and a fifth pounds (uncooked) of oatmeal, six-sevenths of a pound of dried beans, five-seventh of a pound of dried peas, lentils, or chick peas, two thirds of a pound of full cream cheese, or one pound of fresh, moist cottage cheese, ten or twelve eggs, three-fifths of a pound of shelled peanuts, or a pound of shelled walnuts or almonds. The housewife ought to put down eggs in waterglass while cheap. Information as to how to do this can be obtained from any druggist. Thus in wintertime, when eggs are high in price, a family may get eggs at the minimum summer cost. It is good economy to buy skim milk instead of whole milk for cooking, as it is high in food value; sour milk should never be wasted. In making bread, corn meal or graham flour may be substituted for a part of the white flour. There are various available substitutes for butter, of which many are in the market for cooking purposes and others for table use. There are others which do not equal butter in fat but which may take the place of butter in making bread appetizing, such as peanut butter. Breakfast foods, such as steel cut oatmeal, corn meal, etc., are most economical bought in bulk, instead of in Six Months for Begging:— Thomas J.

COURT DECISION FAVORS BAR ASSOCIATION T. Alonzo Wells is not going to live off the interest from $160,000 he expected to collect from the attorneys of Orange county as a balm for alleged libel by the Bar Association in its efforts to prevent him from becoming a practicing attorney. His suit against the association was thrown out of court Wednesday by Judge Trippet of the Federal court in Los Angeles. In non-suiting Wells Judge Trippet ruled that the plaintiff's action in bringing the suit was no doubt to intimidate the Orange County Bar Association and prevent it from pushing its charges against him. Wells based his libel charges on letters sent to Justice Chipman of the Third District Court of Appeal at Sacramento and Presiding Judge Northcross of the Nevada Supreme Court by the Bar Association opposing the admission to the bar of Wells. Judge Trippet held the communications were privileged and that Wells had not shown he was a resident of Nevada, a requisite to maintain an action in the Federal court. The court said bar associations are very necessary organizations to keep undesirable people from the profession, and in some communities are very active. In deciding that Wells is a citizen of California, Judge Trippet said that the evidence showed he went to Car- son City, Nev., after he had applied on two different occasions for admission in Los Angeles; that he arrived there in July, 1915, and on the following October 4, was admitted to practice by the Supreme Court of Nevada, upon his declaration that he intended making Nevada his home. The license was issued October 8; six days later he went to Placerville, Cal., and on October 20 was admitted on motion before the Third Appellate Court in Sacramento; on November 4 he published his card in the Huntington Beach News, offering himself as an attorney. While in Nevada, Wells never had voted, paid no taxes, had not registered, and his name was in no city or telephone directory. But thirty days intervened from the issuance of his certificate to practice in Nevada, until he published his card in Huntington Beach, and the newspaper in which the card appeared announced he had just returned from a six-months' vacation. Judge Trippet said some of the charges against Wells in the communications complained of were not true, but he could find no malice in the letters, only a desire to rid the profession of a man whom the defendants thought unworthy. The Bar association of Orange county acted in good faith, in the opinion of the court. Wells had failed to show that at the time he filed the action against the defendants, September 30, 1916, he was a resident of Nevada, therefore the court had no jurisdiction. H. C. Neal, who has been engaged in the grocery business on South Los Angeles street, has moved to Los Angeles, where he has accepted a position as receiving clerk in the Postal Telegraph office.
