DAY TO REGISTER IS TUESDAY, JUNE 5 ALL MALE RESIDENTS BETWEEN AGES OF 21 AND 31 MUST BE LISTED ORANGE COUNTY WILL HAVE OVER 200 IN FIRST ARMY OF 500,000 Tuesday, June 5, is the date fixed by the president for registration of 11,000,000 men between the ages of 21 and 31, from which body will be selected the first army of 500,000 men to war against the Kaiser. All men who have reached 21, by that date, and not yet passed their 31st birthday are compelled to register whether they are American citizens or not, whether they are white, black or Mongolian. Men unable to register in person because of sickness must apply to the county clerk for instructions how they can register through an agent. Men who are absent can register by mail, but their registration cards must reach the proper place on or before the 5th of June. They are commanded to apply to the county clerk of the county in which they happen to be for instructions how to proceed. The expectation is that Orange county will register about 5500 men. The figure for Orange county is based on the war department's estimate that males of any given age—21 for instance—constitute 1 per cent of the entire population. As the draft calls though there are exceptions to this rule. Approximately 60 per cent of all applicants are rejected by the army as being physically unfit. In the first draft, it is believed, men with dependents will be exempt. Farmers, railroad men, police and those whose present employment is essential to carry out the government's war program will be exempt, Washington advises say. After the men have registered they will be given physical examination. No individual notices will be given the men between the ages affected—they will be expected to appear at the registration places and those failing to do so will be subject to fine, imprisonment, or both fine and imprisonment. The following list of questions will be presented to each man: Name in full. Home address. Date of birth. Are you (1) a natural born citizen, (2) a naturalized citizen, (3) an alien, (4) or have you declared your intention? Specify which. Where were you born? If not a citizen of what country are you a citizen or subject? What is your present trade, occupation or office? By whom employed? Where employed? Have you a father, mother, wife, child under 12, or a sister or brother under 12, solely dependent on you for support? Specify which. Married or single, which? Race, which? What military service have you had? Rank, branch, years; nation or state. Do you claim exemption from draft (specify grounds)? After the affiant has signed this the register makes out a report containing the following matter: Is the person tall, medium or short? Slender, medium or stout? Color of eyes; color of hair. curately accounted for take no account of fields but not sold. The report of the reau shows: Fresno county—Acid oil, 14,048,105 barrels bic feet; 944 wells. Kern county—56,112 barrels oil; 12,272 gas; 4,264 wells. Los Angeles County—3,749 barrels oil; 3,228 gas; 458 wells. Ventura County—1013 barrels oil; 332 barrels oil; 4,361 barrels oil; gas; 394 wells. San Luis Obispo Co. 5,670 barrels oil; 2 water; Santa Clara County 368 barrels oil; 11 water; Totals—Acres, 86,877,063,196; cubic feet; 580; number of wells. FARM TRANSACTION California took an tractor world wide when the C. L. Best of San Leandro awaits for the construction worth of Best tracklines to an eastern concern given the Davis Sewan pany, of Dayton, Ohio make deliveries easy. This is unquestionable tractor contract even allows the aggressive entire United States pany. Preparations of tracklayers way at the Dayton chinery to be employ manufacture has just come their registration cards must reach the proper place on or before the 5th of June. They are commanded to apply to the county clerk of the county in which they happen to be for instructions how to proceed. The expectation is that Orange county will register about 5500 men. The figure for Orange county is based on the war department's estimate that males of any given age—21 for instance—constitute 1 per cent of the entire population. As the draft calls for examination the ten ages from 21 to 30, the list of available would be 10 per cent of the population. The population of Orange county is conservatively estimated to be 55,000 and 10 per cent of this is 5500. Upon the completion of the registration the war department will determine what the quota of each city and other subdivision is. The population of the United States is placed roughly at 100,000,000. To raise an army of 500,000, one person of every 200 will be conscripted, meaning one person of every twenty registered. Every man within the age limit, citizen or alien must go to the polls on the day set. If 5500 register in Orange county the war department will order the selection of about 208. There are nineteen chances to one that each eligible will not be drafted. Sheriff C. E. Jackson, County Clerk W. B. Williams and County Physician A. H. Domann will supervise the registration in this county. Sheriff Jackson already has received conscription registration blanks from the government. These are being kept locked in their pouches until further orders, as per instructions from Washington. The assumption is that as regards exemptions the rules governing in the regular army will apply. Among the principal features of the regular army exemptions are these: A man who has served a sentence upon conviction is exempted. A man having dependents is exempted, possible dependents including father, mother, wife, child under 12, or sister or brother under 12. Generally no man is accepted who is under 5 feet 4 inches, or who weighs less than 122 pounds. A man having flat feet is not accepted in the army, OIL AND GAS OUTPUT OF ORANGE COUNTY Stands Second in Production of Gas And Third in Oil Orange county in 1916 was the third county in California in the production of oil, and second county in the sale of natural gas. The State Mining Bureau, incident to its work of supervising drilling operations so as to protect the fields from damage by water, has just completed the enumeration of the amount of oil produced during 1916. The figures are based on sworn statements from all producers and show a total of 87,063,195 barrels, which is not greatly different from the amount produced during 1915, notwithstanding the fact that drilling activity increased the number of producing wells by 464, and added 6317 acres to the area of proved oil land. The total figures furnished by the private concerns exceeded the official figures, but include fuel burned in the field and make no allowance for water and other impurities in the oil when first produced and guaged. The addition to the proved oil land area was principally in Santa Barbara county in the vicinity of Casmalia and at the Bell ranch, near Santa Maria. There was a substantial increase in Orange county in the amount of natural gas which was marketed and ac- KANSAS ANNAL The Kansas Association fornia, assisted by the Kansas societie ifornia. Hon. U.

Boiling points alone reveal gasoline quality. As the U.S. Bureau of Standards states, gravity tells you nothing. No mixture, however cleverly connected and no matter what its gravity, can contain the correct, unbroken series of boiling points. Red Crown is guaranteed to be a straight-distilled refinery gasoline, the boiling point of which forms a continuous chain. Red Crown is not a mixture.

FARM TRACTORS California took a forward step in the tractor world a short time ago when the C. L. Best Gas Traction Co., of San Leandro, awarded a contract for the construction of $30,000,000 worth of Best tracklayer farm tractors to an eastern concern. The award was given the Davis Sewing Machine Company, of Dayton, Ohio, which will make deliveries early in November. This is unquestionably the largest tractor contract ever signed, and heralds the aggressive invasion of the entire United States by the Best company. Preparations for the construction of tracklayers are already under way at the Dayton plant. The machinery to be employed in their manufacture has just completed 3,000,000 curately accounted for. The figures take no account of gas used in the fields but not sold.

THE NEW GRAND FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY JULES VERNE'S 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA Most people have read Jules Verne's wonderfully fascinating story "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," which was written fifty years ago, and in these days when submarines are flitting about beneath the waves like huge fish it is particularly interesting. Motion picture men have heretofore tackled every possible stunt on the land and in the air, but the Universal company has taken another step forward and actually produced an undersea story based on Verne's spectacular novel. If you have read this story you will want to see how close to the text the daring actors have kept. If you have not read it you will want to witness some of the terrors and perils men who go down into the depths are subject to. In booking "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," Manager Mozart of the New Grand scooped a big prize for his many patrons and also for those who are not regular picture fans. "20,000 Leagues" is a production that most everyone will want to see, and a production that every child and grown up should see. It is one of the greatest film spectacles of the age. It was made at a cost of over half a million dollars, and took two years to complete. When you see this epoch making drama you will have seen the most daring, the most sensational and most revolutionary achievement in cinema history. You will see Jules Verne's "monster" that terrorized the seven seas. You will see the mighty commander Captain Nemo who followed the path of verne's 20,000 leagues on his voyages. MUST TRAIN NATION FOR WAR In his proclamation fixing June 5 as the date of registration, President Wilson said: The power against which we are arrayed has sought to impose its will upon the world by force. To this end it has increased armament until it has changed the face of war. In the sense in which we have been wont to think of armies there are no armies in this struggle. There are entire nations armed. Thus, the men who remain to till the soil and man the factories are no less a part of the army that is in France than the men beneath the battle flags. It must be so with us. It is not an army that we must shape and train for war; it is a nation. To this end our people must draw close in one compact front against a common foe. But this cannot be if each man pursues a private purpose. All must pursue one purpose. The nation needs all men; but it needs each man, not in the field that will most pleasure him, but in the endeavor that will best serve the common good. Thus though a sharpshooter pleases to operate a triphammer for the forging of great guns,and an expert machinist desires to march with the flag,the nation is being served only when the sharpshooter marches and the machinist remains at his levers. The whole nation must be a team in which each man shall play the part for which he is best fitted. To this end,Congress has provided that the nation shall be organized for war by selection and that each man shall be classified for service in the place to which it shall best serve the general good to call him. The significance of this cannot be overestimated. It is a new thing in our history and a land mark in our progress. It is a new manner of accepting and vitalizing our duty to give ourselves with thoughtful devotion to KANSAS ANNUAL PICNIC The Kansas Association of Southern California will hold its annual picnic at Eastlake Park, Saturday, June 2nd. Picnic lunch and coffee at noon followed by music and speaking. The largest crowd of Kansans ever assembled on the Pacific Coast is expected. There will be a register of each county in Kansas, so you can find people from your own county. The picnic is under the management of Dr. J. Harvey Moore of Los Angeles, president of the Kansas Association of Southern California, assisted by the officers of all the Kansas societies of Southern California. Hon. U. S. Webb of San Francisco, Attorney General of California, a former Kansan, will deliver the principal address. All Kansans and their friends are cordially invited. We wish to make this a patriotic celebration. A large number of old soldiers from the Soldiers Home are expected. Come and show your patriotism. It is astonishing how frequently the scare about the danger this country is made at a cost of over half a million dollars, and took two years to complete. When you see this epoch making drama you will have seen the most daring, the most sensational and most revolutionary achievement in cinema history. You will see Jules Verne's "monster" that terrorized the seven seas. You will see the mighty commander Captain Nemo, who followed the path of vessels 20,000 leagues on his voyage of vengeance. You will see the torpedo fired and photographed under the ocean while speeding on its deadly mission, and then see a full rigged ship blown to atoms. Through the magic window in the submarine "Nautilus" you will see the victims sinking to the silent depths. Through this window you are shown all the amazing wonders of the deep. You see the "Nautillus" in a tropical ocean dive to mysterious depths, and human beings emerge exactly as Jules Verne wrote. Hunters descend to the floor of the ocean among man-eating sharks. They require neither life lines nor air pipes to connect them with the surface. With a supply of oxygen in condensed air tanks, they visit the wonderful marine gardens and coral caverns where human feet never ventured before. Century old wrecks are found and searched for lost treasures. There is a terrifying combat fathoms deep, between Captain Nemo and a giant octopus crushing a pearl diver in its monster tentacles; positively the most thrilling spectacle ever photographed. Scenes from under the ocean, on the earth and in the sky combine to make this first and only submarine drama truly the most amazing wonder picture of all time. TWO DAMAGE SUITS As the result of the wrecking of an automobile at the P. E. crossing at Delhi on July 8, 1916, two more damage suits were brought against the Pacific Electric. In the wreck, Rev. George W. Coultas, a Methodist pastor at Whittier, was killed, and his wife and sister-in-law, Miss Carolyn A. Baker, were injured. Several months ago Mrs. Coultas brought suit for $25,375 damages for It is astonishing how frequently the scare about the danger this country is in from attack from Japan is revived and published throughout the land. When war news is not quite up to the usual standard the ghost of the Japanese story is pulled out of the closet and made use of. There appears to be no doubt but what Japan is as friendly toward the United States as any of the great powers, except Germany and its followers, and it is therefore strange that the Japanese war rumors should be given any consideration. While it is true that the Mikado's government has objected to the alien land bills considered by some of the states of the Union, including California, the procedure was no more than could have been expected and was conducted in a courteous and dignified manner. There is no foundation for believing that this country will be invaded by the Japanese, or that the coast cities will be attacked by the war fleet of that country. Advices from Bear Valley say the dam is full to the top, the lake being the highest in its history. Fishing has been good in the streams, but the fish have been small, due to the fact that the larger ones are back near the headwaters. The most accessible places are no longer producing big catches, due to the fact that they have been plied too much with salmon eggs. As the result of the wrecking of an automobile at the P.E. crossing at Delhi on July 8, 1916, two more damage suits were brought against the Pacific Electric. In the wreck, Rev. George W. Coultas, a Methodist pastor at Whittier, was killed, and his wife and sister-in-law, Miss Carolyn A. Baker, were injured. Several months ago Mrs. Coultas brought suit for $25,375 damages for the loss of her husband. Friday her attorneys, Simpson & Simpson, of Pasadena, filed two new complaints. In one Mrs. Coultas asks for judgment of $5000 for personal injuries. The complaint states that she suffered a great shock and one arm was badly bruised, and her nerves were shaken. In the other, Miss Baker asks for $5035 for injuries received by her. Shock and bruises and the partial paralysis of a limb are alleged. The trial of the action for damages for the death of Rev. Coultas has not occurred. In that case the railway alleges that the accident was due to the carelessness of Rev. Coultas. In order that all county horticultural commissioners may be fully advised as to their duties during the length of the war, State Horticultural Commissioner G. H. Hecke has called a conference of the 47 county commissioners at Modesto on June 6 and 7. While assembled in Modesto, the commissioners will listen to addresses by A. H. Naftzger, vice chairman of the state council of defense, and Prof. H. B. Crocheron of the University of California, who is the leader of the farm advisirs.

SANTA ANA'S MARKET PROVES A SUCCESS Stocks Sold Out Within a Hour and a Half After Opening With 300 people on the ground at one time and a stream of people coming and going in the early hours of the morning, Santa Ana's municipal market Saturday opened under conditions that spell success for the new enterprise. The attendance was beyond all expectations of Market Master Balderston and others interested in the promotion of the public market. Vegetables, etc., brought direct from the farm by the eight producers who lined their wagons along the curb on the Third street side of Birch Park "lasted quick". All but two were sold more stalls rented for next Tuesday, and will make every effort to have enough produce on hand to meet the demand of the purchasing public. "The rush of buyers on the opening day was far beyond my anticipation," said Balderston. "They grabbed the stuff like wildfire and many went away with market baskets filled to the brim. I will see that more stalls are taken by farmers for market days hereafter." Market days are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. County Treasurer Joplin last week sent to the state treasurer $51,391.58.
