ENDORSED BY PEERLESS MOTOR COMPANY—because their technical department was "able to secure uniformly better results with Standard Oil Company's Zerolene motor lubricant than with any other." That's because Zerolene is correctly refined from asphalt-base crude by methods especially developed by the Standard Oil Company. Less wear and more power because Zerolene keeps its lubricating body at cylinder heat. Less carbon because it burns clean and goes out on exhaust. Zerolene is the oil for your car.

Bible examination papers is completed and on another score the county association stands first in Southern California. With 177 boys and young men taking the examinations the Long Beach record of 166 was exceeded while the Pasadena Y. M. C. A. stands third with a record of 90. The grading of the paper showed the Orange county boys generally well informed on the Bible study questions and 101 received a grade over 70 per cent, so that their papers were sent to New York for the final grading, after which certificates will be sent to those passing. This is the first time that any county Y. M. C. A. of the state has attempted these examinations and the members of the county committee are proud that the boys were able to exceed in efficiency as well as numbers the various city Y. M. C. A.

The next meeting will be at the call of he chairman. Caught the Grandaddy:— To Fred Mallett, once noted as a semi-pro pitcher in Southern California and now prominent Westminster farmer, belongs the credit of catching what is conceded to be the largest trout ever pulled out of an Orange county stream. Fishing on the Trabuco creek, about a half mile above the school house, Mallett Tuesday pulled out of the waters a trout weighing six and a half pounds and measuring twenty-eight inches from tip to tip. Mallett used salmon egg bait and a hook so delicate that had he attempted to lift with it a weight equal to that of the fish the leader would have broken, according to the view of those who viewed the lucky angler's equipment and catch at Victor Walker’s sporting goods store. The trout put up a game battle and it required all of Mallett’s skill to The following have praisers: F. P. Walk drew Worthy of W B. McCoy of West Blaylock, alternate. H. O.

Stephens as the nucleus of a county council of defense in each county. Others were added at the meeting. Good Money in Sight: Santa Ana men who organized the Old Red Mining company about two months ago stand to make a good "killing" in the opinion of Sam Sunduck, who has just returned from the company's mine in Plumas county, about 11 miles south of Quincy. He is very enthusiastic over the prospect. In panning one pan of ore while there, Sunduck got $7 in gold. Al Slaback, one of the organizers of the company, is now at Marysville, where he is having constructed a gold washer and one of Col. W. F. Heathman's concentrators. About 30 Santa Anans are interested in the mining venture. Loan Association Changes Name: The National Farm Loan Association which was organized at Wintersburg Jan. 31, under the name of Wintersburg National Farm Loan association has changed its name to La Bolsa National Farm Loan association. This organization includes Huntington Beach, Talbert, Bolsa, Wintersburg, Westminster, Stanton and vicinities. The directors for this organization are Earl Farrar, president; W. T.

Sloane, E COUNTY COUNCIL ADVISED AS TO DUTIES STATE ASSOCIATION GIVES AN OUTLINE OF WHAT THEY ARE EXPECTED TO DO TEACH THE PEOPLE ECONOMY, RETRENCHMENT AND CONSERVATION OF RESOURCES The following letter has been sent to all county councils of defense from the headquarters at Sacramento: To all County Councils of Defense: The war with Germany will cause many burdens to come to the people of our country, and the duties of the county councils of defense should consist not alone of preparations for war and defense but also of preparing the people for those sacrifices by anticipating and nullifying the effect as much as possible. This can be done by teaching the people of your district the strictest economy in every way and especially in the conservation of food stuffs; the stopping of all waste and curtailment of the use of meats and fats. Every man, woman and child will feel the effects of war in one way or another, and the best way to meet this burden will be to begin the retrenchment now, not after the resources and opportunities are gone. Seven billion dollars will be raised for war purposes by the government, and other millions for the use of the property. We would suggest especial and discretion in giving publicity to any matters pertaining to public property and safety but these matters would naturally suggest themselves to the sheriff, who is a member of your council. There is no occasion for excitement and undue nervous tension at this time and the spirit of patience and good will should prevail. The county council of defense is the organization which will be looked to for the initiative in all these things and the activity in each county will depend largely upon the enthusiasm, patriotism and encouragement shown by it. Each county council will find ways of its own to create and carry forward the good work probably by the appointment of the following committees: Resources and food supplies—For economy, home planting and persons to lecture when available. Public defense and security—Including home guard training. Public health and sanitation—Encouragement of Red Cross work, etc. Relief—To families and dependents of soldiers. The council may be able to encourage the local banks to assist whenever possible and practicable by helping the farmers to secure additional seed, water for irrigation or fertilizer, and strengthen credits to theees, purposes to the limit of safety at this time. If any home guards be organized they should be recruited under Chapter 159 of the laws of 1911 so that these bodies of men will be uniform in character and available for consolidation with other units in the state for use by the governor in case of emergency. These home guards should be made up of men over thirty years of age so as not to interfere with the reservation of younger men for federal The following have been appointed appraisers: F. P. Walker of Talbert, Andrew Worthy of Wintersburg and W. B. McCoy of Westminster; W. W. Blaylock, alternate. H. O. Gardner of Torrance has been elected secretary treasurer of the association. He comes to the association very highly recommended and having engaged in the banking business for a number of years, is fully capable of handling the business of the association. He has already organized fifteen associations in Los Angeles county adn five in Orange county, all of which have elected him secretary-treasurer. SOUTHERN CALIF. AUTOISTS BUILD OUTING CABINS Government Gives Permission for Erection of Housese in National Parks The Automobile club of Southern California is recommending to the motorists of this section that they provide for themselves homes in the hills—places where they may go for an outing of a day or for a week-end rest after a tiresome week—where the cares of the office may be forgotten and where the physical man may be refreshed. Upwards of two thousand motorists of this section have provided for themselves mountain homes. They have taken advantage of the offer made by the U. S. government in the form of cabin sites. Sections of these sites are located in many of our canyons; some close in, others farther out, the idea being to meet the likes and wishes of campers with regard to Every man, woman and child will feel the effects of war in one way or another, and the best way to meet this burden will be to begin the re-trenchment now, not after the resources and opportunities are gone. Seven billion dollars will be raised for war purposes by the government, and other millions for the use of the states in addition to the one billion dollars necessary for the yearly governmental budget. All these funds will be raised this year, and the people of California and of the United States will be called upon to furnish the funds. It is difficult to imagine our country at war, especially in California, where all is still peaceful and unchanged, but the sacrifices will come and should be met with the proper kind of preparation. This economical policy can be made effective and the extra war expense to many individuals offset by the additional production of many crops over that of previous years, for the crop outlook all over the world is not good for this year, and there will be great demand for everything that can be produced. Those products of the soil which are not perishable, such as cereals, beans, peas and the crops that can be carried through the winter, like potatoes, onions and apples, should be planted and cared for whenever possible, and no fruit which can be dried permitted to waste. After that the garden for home consumption. Every home garden made this year in ground not formerly used for this purpose will help to pay additional tax burdens. Everyone should work evertime at something and the least one could do would be to spend an hour each day tending the home garden. In food conservation, the committee on food supplies is working through the agricultural college of the university of California. Other committees of the state council of defense are looking after the various departments and we hope that the different organizations everywhere will cooperate and work in harmony with these committees. In this state there should be the greatest good will among the people regarding the use of water for irrigation and all those who have any that can be spared should furnish it to poses to the limit of safety at this time. If any home guards be organized they should be recruited under Chapter 159 of the laws of 1911 so that these bodies of men will be uniform in character and available for consolidation with other upits in the state for use by the governor in case of emergency. These home guards should be made up of men over thirty years of age so as not to interfere with the recruiting of younger men for federal service. Now is the time for each man' and woman as well as boy and girl to do his or her duty and give what aid they can to their county and state, and it should be your problem to set them to work. We most earnestly desire to produce the greatest results possible in this state and believe the plan of organization we have inaugurated through these councils of defense should bring it about, but it can only be done by cooperation and coordination of all factions irrespective of personal gain or advantage of any kind. All thought of self and ambition, except to do the greatest good for the cause should be discouraged, and every other consideration except that of loyalty and patriotism excluded. Command of us anything in the way of help we can furnish, keep us daily advised of all matters of importance and furnish us with information weekly as to the progress made, giving facts and figures as to increased acreage and production of every kind; also let us know means you are taking to stimulate the people of your county to produce as your way may be superior to the ways of others and we can pass the knowledge along to the other counties. Time is most essential and we urge that you get your forces at work without delay and in the most vigorous manner possible for there is an immense amount of work to be done and a short time in which to do it, especially in the planting of crops. These suggestions are offered in the hope that they may help and not hinder, and we do not desire to dictate as to how the affairs of the county councils shall be conducted, believing that being on the ground you are better informed of local conditions than we are. We have just received from the Colusa council of defense copies of advice issued by that council to rest after a tiresome week—where the cares of the office may be forgotten and where the physical man may be refreshed. Upwards of two thousand motorists of this section have pro vided for themselves mountain homes. They have taken advantage of the offer made by the U. S. government in the form of cabin sites. Sections of these sites are located in many of our canyons; some close in, others farther out, the idea being to meet the likes and wishes of campers with regard to distance, altitude, etc. These sites average about a half acre in size and rent for $15 per year. The government does not stipulate the amount that shall be spent in the construction of a cabin, but it does require that some kind of a permanent abode be erected. This may be of boulders or other material found on the ground, or from lumber that is hauled in. Southern California is divided into three national forests—the Santa Barbara, national forest which takes in the mountainous sections of Santa Barbara and Ventura counties and the northern part of Los Angeles county, the Angelus national forest, which takes in the main portion of Los Angeles county, (not in Santa Barbara forest) the southern portion of San Bernardino county, and the northern part of Riverside county; and the Cleveland National Forest, which includes the portion of Riverside county not in the Angelus forest, and portions of Orange and San Diego counties. Information with regard to un-taken sites, sections that are about to be opened, leases, etc., may be secured from the supervisors of the various forests. These are as follows: Santa Barbara National Forest, J. R. Hall, Santa Barbara, Cal.; Angelus National Forest, R. P. Charlton, Los Angeles; Cleveland National Forest, S. M. Sloane, Escondido, Calif. The women's organizations might be enlisted in the educational part of this work. Nearly every village already has a woman's club for civic betterment and through them you can undoubtedly secure prompt and efficient assistance. Nearly all of the important women's organizations of the state are connected with our relief committee which is in turn fully cooperating with the Red Cross. The proper committee of the council of defense should be alert to discover any people who are sympathisers with the enemies with whom we are at war and frustrate any plot or plans for the destruction of life or a short time in which to do it, especially in the planting of crops. These suggestions are offered in the hope that they may help and not hinder, and we do not desire to dictate as to how the affairs of the county councils shall be conducted, believing that being on the ground you are better informed of local conditions than we are. We have just received from the Colusa council of defense copies of advice issued by that council to the school teachers, owners of warehouses the sheriff and deputy sheriffs of that county. These all impress us as so well stated and touching matters of such vital importance that we are giving them herewith to other counties with our strong approval, with the thought that they may in some instances at least be suggestive and useful. We are happy to be the medium through which to convey the suggestions of any council of defense, although we are almost daily giving to the press over the state the substance of the thoughts conveyed to us by the various councils. Very truly yours, State Council of Defense By A. H. NAFTZER, Vice chairman. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. Another important realty transaction in "west of the river" property occurred with the purchase of a tenacre Valencia grove belonging to J. Jenson, by Harry Gail, a recent arrival from New York. The consideration was $22,500. The ranch is located in the South Placentia district, north-west of Orange. The trees are six and eight years of age. There are no buildings.

D. Palmer, manager of the Exchange, that the Valencia crop in the south end of this county is going to be upwards of 400 carloads greater than in 1916. Mr. Palmer believes that the exchange associations, which have packing houses at Orange, Olive, Villa Park, McPherson, El Modena, Tustin, and Garden Grove, will ship a total of 1800 cars this year. Seventy or 75 per cent of the total production of Valencias south of the Santa Ana river will be shipped through the association, which are operated successfully. The Valencia crop has matured well and the general run points to an orange better than the average. P. J. Weisel & Company P. J. Weisel & Company Hudson&DodgeBros.
