REJECT PETITION FOR A COUNTY CHARTER TAXPAYERS' LEAGUE TURNED DOWN BY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WEDNESDAY ASKED FOR A SPECIAL ELECTION OF FREEHOLDERS TO FRAME THE CHARTER That the Taxpayers' league as a body does not represent sufficient of the population of the county to warrant the supervisors expending several thousand dollars for a special election at its request, is the conclusion drawn from the action of the county body at Wednesday's meeting. A petition signed by Jackman and Mills, president and secretary respectively of the league, requested the supervisors to hold a special election to determine whether or not Orange county should have a charter for county government. The action of the league was taken at its last regular meeting in Santa Ana. At the meeting, several of the members proposed that a petition be passed through the county and 15 per cent of the voters be asked to sign it, but Mr. Jackman said it would be as well to ask the board to pass the resolution calling the election at the request of league. There were 22 members present at the meeting. Mills brought the petition before the board Wednesday morning and after some consideration by the members, the following resolution was active value of the pelts.

CAN SHORTAGE The larger canneries have arranged for their supply of cans for the coming season; the smaller ones, who have not been aware of the tin can situation, may be unable to secure sufficient for this season's pack. The federal government is taking a strong hand in the matter of the use of tin and requests that all products which can be dried or dehydrated shall be treated in that way, and only the more perishables tinned. Where this request has been ignored a flat order has been given to stop canning such products as beans. Home canners may be embarrassed and compelled to pay higher prices, and glass will doubtless be used to a larger extent. Here again is opportunity for foresight and early purchasing. Presumably prices for glass are more reasonable now than they will be in the midst of the canning season. While the canning is going on, let us dry things. Many of us doubtless recall the dried corn of olden times and the pumpkin which was thoroughly cooked and dried on platters. There are today better methods of drying these products, even string beans, turnips and other vegetables are dried. Of course in California many of these methods may be useless because of our perpetual harvest season. THE KID TO THE COLORS The Kid has gone to the Colors And we don't know what to say; The Kid we have loved and cuddled Stepped out for the Flag today. We thought him a child, a baby, With never a care at all. At the meeting, several of the members proposed that a petition be passed through the county and 15 per cent of the voters be asked to sign it, but Mr. Jackman said it would be as well to ask the board to pass the resolution calling the election at the request of league. There were 22 members present at the meeting. Mills brought the petition before the board Wednesday morning and after some consideration by the members, the following resolution was adopted, denying the petition. In re petition asking the board of supervisors to call an election for the purpose of electing a board of fifteen freeholders to frame a charter for the county government of Orange county. A petition, dated April 14, 1917, signed by Messrs. S. J. Jackman, president and A. A. Mills, secretary of the Taxpayers' League of Orange county, having been filed with the board of supervisors May 2, 1917, stating that on even date of said petition the Taxpayers' League of Orange county by unanimous vote decided to favor a charter for county government purposes and asking that this board call an election for the purpose of electing freeholders to frame a charter as provided by the authority vested in said board under the provisions of section 7½ of article 11 of the Constitution of the State of California, and said board having considered said petition and, due to the large expense that would be incurred, by reason of calling a special election for such purposes, as provided by the constitution, and the results as observed in other counties, wherein charters have been adopted or attempted to be adopted, the board of supervisors is now of the opinion that the said board should not pass any ordinances in pursuance of the provisions, aforesaid, for the purpose of calling a special election for the purpose of electing freeholders to frame such charter, and it is now ordered that this board do, and it does hereby decline to call such special election. Said resolution, offered and its adoption moved by Supervisor Schumacher and seconded by Supervisor Leck and upon roll call, same was adopted by the following vote: Yes—Supervisors Leck, Schumacher, Struck, Kinley and Talbert; No—supervisors, none.

POSSIBILITIES OF FOX FARMING The Kid has gone to the Colors And we don't know what to say; The Kid we have loved and cuddled Stepped out for the Flag today. We thought him a child, a baby, With never a care at all, But his country called him man-size And the Kid has heard the call. He paused to watch the recruiting, Where, fired by the fire and drum, He bowed his head to Old Glory And thought it whispered: "Come!" The Kid, not being a slacker, Stood forth with patriot-joy To add his name to the roster— And God, we're proud of the boy! The Kid has gone to the Colors; It seems but a little while Since he drilled a schoolboy army In a truly martial style. But now he's a man, a soldier, And we lend him listening ear, For his heart is a heart all loyal, Unscourged by the curse of fear. His dad, when he told him, shuddered, His mother—God bless her!—cried; Yet, blest with a mother-nature, She wept with a mother-pride. But he whose shoulders straightened Was Granddad—for memory ran To years when he, too, a youngster, Was changed by the Flag to a man! COOPERATING WITH UNCLE SAM Dr. L. O. Howard, the distinguished entomologist at the head of the bureau of entomology of the United States department of agriculture, has written Commissioner Hecke asking for hearty cooperation between the state and nation. "It is unnecessary to call attention to the important work which the entomologists of the country can do in the present crisis," says Dr. Howard in this communication, "in the way of increasing crop production by the control of injurious insects." Commissioner Hecke has replied proffering every possible assistance and element of cooperation. Obviously it will require a campaign of persistent publicity at this time to forewarn the people so that they may take preventive action.

Also much misconception exists concerning the possibilities in fox ranching. Ned Dearborn, of the biological survey, has studied intimately the silver fox industry both in Canada and the United and in a new bulletin issued by the department of agriculture, correct some common erroneous impressions. "When rightly undertaken, and with due consideration to climate, surroundings, and breeding stock," concludes the author, "fox farming, and especially the breeding of silver foxes, frequently has proved profitable. In general a long, cold season and at least a moderate rainfall are important for the production of the best furs, and the fitness of a region for fox farming can be judged from the quality of fur produced by native wild foxes. The lessening number of these animals in the wild state, together with the increasing demand for their furs, sounds a warning that if the demand is to continue to be met it must be through domestication." Care of the animals, expense of the business, its profits, and how and where fox farming may be undertaken with the promise of any degree of success is discussed. The distinction between red, cross, silver, and black foxes is explained, as well as the reli- A WORD WITH WOMEN Valuable Advice for Anaheim Readers Many a woman endures with noble patience the daily misery of backache, pains about the hips, blue, nervous spells, dizziness and bladder disorders, hopeless of relief because she doesn't know what is the matter. It is not true that every pain in the back or hips is trouble "peculiar to the sex." Often when the kidneys get congested and inflamed, such aches and pains follow. You can tell it is kidney trouble if the kidneys are irregularly, if bladder troubles are present and in other ways. This fact was once leading Chicago but further cited that materially lessened contact as they showed of the leading majors of the land available plot of land into a garden spot when in the same per urges that birds might destroy time for every part he is to do in sofar as possible his mite.

PROTECTION OF BIRDS A FARM ASSET If one tenth of all the agricultural products raised annually in the United States were scattered over different sections of the country where most needed, would it help fight the high cost of living? Statistics show that annually there is a loss of between $800,000,000 and $900,000,000 in the agricultural products of the United States, all due to the ravages of insects, writes C. C. Clute in Our Dumb Animals. This fact was cited recently by a leading Chicago paper, and it was further cited that the loss might be materially lessened were birds protected as they should be. When one of the leading metropolitan newspapers of the land advocates that every available plot of ground be turned into a garden spot and cultivated, and when in the same issue that same paper urges that birds be protected that they might destroy insects, it is sure nest near a dwelling. The robin appreciates forked sticks placed in trees for him, and the wren, bluebird, and purple martin enjoy the companionship of man as soon as they learn that he is their friend. The best way to get on amicable terms with birds is to build and put up bird houses and see that such are not destroyed by boys or preyed upon by cats. Put up a single bird house this summer if you are a skeptic and watch the wren, or blue bird or purple martin, as it feeds its young, taking note of the kind of feed it uses and the number of trips made per hour. Keep a record of this for a few hours, estimate the good done in a day, in a week, in a month, and in a nesting season, and you will be wiser the following year. I know one farmer in particular who lost, during one summer, three rows of corn forty rods long. The corn grew next to a fence row heavily sodded with blue grass; which produced swarms of grasshoppers. For the sake of experiment alone, this farmer last spring put up 21 birds houses placed two rods apart on the fence along the 40 rods. The houses were some that he and the boys had made during the winter. Thirteen of the 21 houses were inhabited during the following summer, six by wrens, four by bluebirds, and three by colonies of purple martins. The grasshoppers that summer made a rich living for the birds, and when the fall came, that farmer had the satisfaction of gathering 23 bushels of corn from the three rows that grew next to the fence, right where there was no corn at all the year before. Damages for Injured Hand: For the partial disability of her left hand as the outcome of injuries received when it was caught in a mangle, the state industrial accident commission has awarded Miss Emma Mandotte judgment against V. A. Canfield. This fact was cited recently by a leading Chicago paper, and it was further cited that the loss might be materially lessened were birds protected by they should be. When one of the leading metropolitan newspapers of the land advocates that every available plot of ground be turned into a garden spot and cultivated, and when in the same issue that same paper urges that birds be protected that they might destroy insects, it is surely time for every one to consider what part he is to do in the work, and, sofar as possible lend a hand in doing his mite. One insect destroyed in the spring means the destruction of hundreds and in some cases thousands, ere the summer is over. Government statistics and personal observation show over and over again that the birds are the farmers' best friends, which, in return for their services, ask only protection that they may bring forth more enemies of insects. Just how is this protection to be given? Happily the time has passed, or nearly so, when the farmers think that the birds must be destroyed because of the fruit they eat. In comparison with the amount of good they do, the amount of fruit eaten by birds during the summer is an infinitesimal matter, a mighty good form of insurance for the farmer. But there is another way in which the birds require protection, and that is protection during their nesting season. Not only should prowling cats be restrained and egg collectors either be made to see the folly of their heartless whims or else be summoned before the law, but provision should be made for the nests. Birds like company. Even the bluejay, usually termed a rascal but at heart a boon companion of the farmer, likes to have his damage for injured hand: For the partial disability of her left hand as the outcome of injuries received when it was caught in a mangle, the state industrial accident commission has awarded Miss Emma Mandotte judgment against V. A. Canfield. The judgment directs Canfield to pay the doctor and hospital bills incurred by Miss Mandotte while she was undergoing treatment, and $4.17 weekly for an indeterminate period. The minimum amount Miss Mandotte can receive is $333.33. The accident which nearly cost the hand of Miss Mandotte, then an employee of the Fullerton Laundry, happened one day when she placed her hand against a mangle to test its warmth. The mangle, which was in motion, drew her hand into the machinery and for a time it was despaired of saving the hand. At the time the accident happened IN THE SUPERIOR COURT Of the County of Orange State of California In the Matter of the Estate of Frank Rilcoute' Deceased) Notice for Publication of Time of Proving Will Eicc.
