SUGAR FACTORY REBATE CLAIM REJECTED SUPERVISORS REFUSE TO CANCEL ASSESSMENT FOR ANAHEIM-FULLERTON ROAD NEW PETITION FILED FOR FORMATION OF GARDEN GROVE STORM WATER DISTRICT The demand of the Anaheim Sugar company for a rebate of $6,410.42 in taxes was rejected by the board of supervisors. This was the sum assessed against the sugar company for paving the Anaheim-Fullerton boulevard. The company paid it under protest. Domains on the county of Orange and on the hospital fund were allowed as read. Spraying license was ordered issued to D. W. Husband on recommendation of the horticultural commissioner. The application of David Hewes Realty company to lay a pipe line across Esplanade avenue, was granted. The application of L. E. Parker to lay an iron pipe line across 17th street was granted. The application of Eva Weisser to lay a tile pipe line across the road running south from Garden Grove, was granted. The clerk was directed to advertise for bids for printing the delinquent tax list, bids to be opened May 26, at 10 a.m. The petition of Wm. Gillette, et al., to create Spadre Road was granted. ance was a signal for confusion in the ranks of the patrol and the observers saw several of the men making for a high wire fence a little distance from them. An instant later sounds of deep bellowings drifted across to the hill and an instant later observers made out a bull of heroic proportions, in mad pursuit of the fleeing soldiers. The fluttering of the signal flags in the hands of one of the harassed soldiers, spelling out the word "enemy" gave them an added inkling of what was taking place. The retreat, although rapid, was accomplished in masterly fashion, according to H. H. Coyle who was a member of Lieut. Brown's patrol. After the retreating forces had been reorganized, the patrol on the opposite hill sent this message, "Did your brave soldiers dispose of the enemy," and the answer was flashed back, "No, they all died of fright." A flag with crimson markings is used in the signalling and this is probably what changed the resentment of the bull at invasion of his domain into rapid action.

MASONS GET $20,000 By the will of B. F. Townsend, filed for probate $20,000 is left to the Masonic lodge of Santa Ana, to be put at interest until it becomes $60,000, at which time it shall be used to establish a home for indigent Masons. There is $1000 left to the Santa Ana Eastern Star. The remainder of the estate valued at $100,000, is distributed by the will among relatives. The largest portion will go to Mrs. Mabel T. Lowell, daughter of the deceased, named in the will as executrix. B. F. Townsend was a pioneer rancher of Santa Ana. Without aid of attorneys, he wrote his will, and had it witnessed by E. B. Sprague and F. W. Mansur. To aid men and women to answer this question, the University of California will conduct a special five week term from May 21 to June 23, immediately before the regular summer session, which runs from June 25 to August 4. Every course will help equip people to serve the nation well in its war time emergency. One may get training as a military aviator or as an expert civilian relief or other social work, or learn how to make hospital garments and surgical dressings, or study first aid and home care of the sick, food conservation for the household and the community. Men and women wishing to enroll for this special session should write at once to the Dean of the summer session, 209 California Hall, Berkeley. Those who wish preliminary training as military aviators will spend three weeks in intensive military work together with physical education and training in telegraphy and four weeks in technical instruction. Those who want to help in the difficult problems of war relief work can receive training from Dean Lucy W. Stebbins in community methods for maintaining the standards of life and safeguarding the social welfare of women and children. Nineteen specialists in home economics will share in teaching how to make hospital garments, or "comfort bags" for soldiers, or surgical dressings, or relief supplies of clothing for adults, children, and babies. Professor Mary F. Patterson, head of the department of home economics will train social workers and mature women who have had business or practical experience in the problems of organizing substation for war relief work and housekeepers institutes, and of enlisting the personal responsibility of the women of California for the conservation of materials, the prevention of waste, and the development of economical buying. Besides a Red Cross course in home dietetics, there will be field cookery courses, dealing with the possibilities of the army ration, company cooking, and the field kitchen, and an emergency normal course, conducted by Prof. Agnes F. Morgan, in which women will be trained to teach others the buying, preservation and conservation of food, methods of conducting cooperative canning and food preserving clubs, and relief projects concerned with the food problem.

SOLDIERS ROUTED IN FIRST ENGAGEMENT Angry Bull Objects to Signal Flag and Chases Them out of His Baillwick Prospective officers who are training for commissions in the army got their first taste of real warfare a couple of weeks ago in the hills north of Los Angeles. Fortunately there were no casualties. In one detachment was E. J. Marks of Fullerton, and he suffered a laceration on one hand caused in his haste to scale a high wire fence. Divided into two patrols, one of them under the command of Lieut. Brown and the other under command of Capt. Kinney, the men were being instructed in signaling messages by means of two flags. Capt. Kinney's patrol sent a message to the patrol on the other hill and on concluding asked that it be repeated. While Brown's signalers were in the midst of repeating the message they noticed that the other patrol was paying no attention to them. Then they observed two figures detach themselves from the patrol, drop out of sight for a moment and then reappear subbenly. Their reappear- Besides a Red Cross course in need dietetics, there will be field cookery courses, dealing with the possibilities of the army ration, company cooking, and the field kitchen, and an emergency normal course, conducted by Prof. Agnes F. Morgan, in which women will be trained to teach others the buying, preservation and conservation of food, methods of conducting cooperative canning and food preserving clubs, and relief projects concerned with the food problem. Public health courses will be given by a group of experts headed by Prof. John N. Force. Miss Ethel Sherman, for many years superintendent of the students' infirmary, where an average of 150 students are cared for every day throughout the university year, will give a practical course in the home care of the sick. There will be first aid courses, leading to the Red Cross certificate, and Prof. Force will lecture on child hygiene and general health administration and conduct laboratory training for those who want to quality as laboratory technicians—an equivalent to the courses offered to graduate nurses in training schools. Besides the aviation instruction, there will be a course by Prof. F. E. Penot in telegraphy, telephony, and wireless telegraphy, with practice in the adjustment of apparatus and drill in the use of two transmission codes, and a course in automobile construction in which Prof. Benedict F. Raber will so acquaint the student with the details of the construction of automobiles, tractors, aeroplanes and motorboats as to facilitate the development of safe driving and successful maintenance, adjustment and repair. A number of courses of a similar type are to be emphasized, also in the regular summer session, from June 26 to August 4.

Scoffield and W. F. Thompson of the commercial fisheries department of the fish and game commission were in San Diego and Orange counties last week investigating kelp conditions preparatory to reporting to a meeting of the state board in Los Angeles when the regulation of the new industry will be determined. Under the new law enacted by the last legislature, the supervision of kelp cutting is added to the duties of the fish and game commission with a privilege tax of 1½ cents per wet ton to defray the costs of collecting the necessary scientific data upon which its regulation must rest, and to pay for the necessary patrol work involved. With war putting enormous premiums upon potash for explosives as well as fertilizer, the proper regulation of kelp cutting has assumed national importance, several months ago Mr. Thompson was called from his successful British Columbia work for the Canadian government to take up kelp and commercial fisheries research in Southern California. He will pay special attention to the tuna situation also, this work being financed by a tonnage tax upon various species of fish canned in this state, also provided for by the last legislature. For the last six years, Mr. Thompson was employed by the British Columbia department of fisheries in making surveys of the commercially-important species of clam and abalone, and in studying the halibut and herring fisheries, his reports therein ranking among the memorable and noteworthy contributions to scientific and economic fisheries work. The kelp tonnage tax is divided far been sold, and that the members were in no hurry to get rid of the rest. New directors were named at the meeting to take the place of two who resigned. W. H. Butcher of Santa Paula will succeed Director Fleet. It is thought that Roger Edwards of Satacoy will succeed H. C. Sharp. ENDORSE IMPORTATION OF FILIPINO LABOR Agricultural and Allied Interests Looking for Help to Little Brown Brother Importation of natives of the Philippines was suggested as one of the best solutions to the labor problem at a meeting of the agricultural and allied interest of the state held Wednesday in Los Angeles at the office of the California Fruit Growers' Association. Practically every great agricultural and horticultural interest in the state had representatives at the meeting. D. Eyman Huff, of the Hewes Realty company, El Modena; A. E. Bennett, of Tustin, member of the Board of the California Fruit Growers association; Willard Smith of Villa Park, representing the Orange County Fruit Exchange, and L. D. Palmer, manager of the Orange County Fruit Exchange, were among those in attendance from Orange county. A resolution was passed urging the immediate importation of Filipinos. In the discussion it developed that many citrus growers have had Filipino help and have found the natives of the Philippines reliable and good workers. In view of the present stringent immigration laws, the islanders offer the only available help unless the bars are let down temporarily to the Chinese, Japanese and Mexicans. It was the consensus of opinion of the 150 delegates present that the labor situation is so serious as to call Lumber Need Time WE CAN AND WILL LET YOU DOWN EASY ON A BILL OF LUMBER FOR THOSE ODD AND REPAIR JOBS OR FOR NEW WORK.

PHONE SUNSET 337 EATING NEW POTATOES A WASTE OF FOOD State Council of Defense Gives Some Good Advice Why eat half grown new potatoes? Why not wait until they are grown? Such is the hint toward accomplishing real food economy given by the committee on resources and food supplies by the state council of defense. In explanation, the committee says: "New potatoes cost four or five times as much as the same food values in flour or sugar. In addition half grown new potatoes possess but one fourth of the food calories as sugar or flour. "Early in May consumers of new potatoes were paying 8.5 cents for one pound of this table luxury. At the same time flour cost 7.3 cents a pound and sugar 10 cents a pound. "Measured on the basis of Calories in each of the three articles of food, the consumer was paying the following prices for each 1000 calories or units of force: "Flour ...4.6 cents "Sugar ...5.5 cents "New potatoes ...26.9 cents "New potatoes are a prime luxury. Why not wait until they are grown?" The high cost of living is worrying even the hog raisers, for the high cost of barley is making the question of feed for hogs a serious one. Here is a solution offered by the committee on resources and food supplies of the council of defense. Feed dwarf milo, Egyptian and stock beets to swine. Dwarf milo or Egyptian corn is almost equal to "good old yellow corn" In the discussion it developed that many citrus growers have had Filipino help and have found the natives of the Philippines reliable and good workers. In view of the present stringent immigration laws, the islanders offer the only available help unless the bars are let down temporarily to the Chinese, Japanese and Mexicans. It was the consensus of opinion of the 150 delegates present that the labor situation is so serious as to call for extreme measures. It developed that the labor supply is below normal, railroad men reporting that where an average of 100 Mexicans were coming into this country weekly prior to the war, not more than seventy-five are arriving now. It was the opinion of some of the speakers that the shortage of Mexican laborers was due more to prosperity than to their return to Mexico. The fact that they have been paid better wages than ever before has reduced their working time, for the average Mexican will not work when he has a little money on hand. Reports showed that enormous excess areas of all staple crops had been planted this season. Following is a part of the resolution passed at the meeting: "Whereas, The Philippine Islands seem to offer the most available source of supply to fill this shortage; now, therefore, be it "Resolved, That a committee of nine, of which the chairman shall be one member, be appointed by the chair to cooperate with the state council of defense in making representation to the Federal Government of the labor needs of the state for agricultural and allied interests as indicated by representatives present at this meeting assembled, and that they be urged to take such action as is necessary to bring in from time to time a sufficient number of farm laborers from the Philippine Islands or from some other source, to meet the growing requirements of the state." KEEP THE PUMPS WORKING Owners of irrigation pumping plants throughout California are in a position to add greatly to the production of food supplies for the Allies by selling water to their neighbors at a reasonable cost during such times as their pumps are not needed for their own irrigation. This is the conclusion of the college agriculture of the University of Cali- Why not wait until they are grown?" The high cost of living is worrying even the hog raisers, for the high cost of barley is making the question of feed for hogs a serious one. Here is a solution offered by the committee on resources and food supplies of the council of defense. Feed dwarf milo, Egyptian and stock beets to swine. Dwarf milo or Egyptian corn is almost equal to "good old yellow corn" in all around feeding value. Such a crop can be raised in summer, following barley or wheat, if irrigation is possible. Excellent crops can be raised without irrigation on fall plowed land which has been left rough until spring and has then had the moisture conserved by proper harrowing or cultivated until planting time. Even in very hot, dry sections, land handled in this way will produce a good crop of milo. Feeding the mangels or stock beets to hogs along with grain will materially lessen the amount of grain required. Brood sows are carried through the winter in good shape on mangels and such forage as they can get, and bear strong litters. Mangels product a high tonnage and will grow in somewhat alkaline soils. If they are planted in such soils in the fall, they will make a crop with cultivation only, and no irrigation, provided the winter rainfall is sufficient. Four hundred thousand sacks of beans comprise the pool of the California Lima Bean Growers' association. The number was fixed Monday at a meeting of the board of directors, held at Oxnard. William Jerome, of Santa Ana, local director, was present at the meeting. He stated that only 100,000 sacks had so Owners of irrigation pumping plants throughout California are in a position to add greatly to the production of food supplies for the Allies by selling water to their neighbors at a reasonable cost during such times as their pumps are not needed for their own irrigation. This is the conclusion of the college of agriculture of the University of California, after a thorough survey of the irrigation resources of the state. Few irrigation pumping plants in California are now run continuously. A very large majority of them are not operated at night. An emergency law just passed by the legislature permits individuals to dispose of water without becoming public utilities and without incurring an obligation to continue to supply water in the future. The committee on resources and food supply of the state council of defense urges owners of land near pumping plants to make every effort to obtain water from such plants when they are not needed by their owners. Also it urges owners of such pumping plants to make the charges to their neighbors as low as possible, in order to stimulate the continuous use of pumping plants throughout the irrigation season during the war period. Fruit exports from the United States during 1915 were valued at $34,229,906. The values of the principal fruits exported were: Apples (dried, green, or ripe), $11,358,124; apricots, dried, $2,241,061; oranges, $3,851,013; prunes $3,274,197; and raisins and other dried grapes, $1,718,547.
