HOW TO ANSWER REGISTRATION QUESTIONS WAR DEPARTMENT GIVES DETAILS OF WHAT IS REQUIRED OF THOSE REGISTERING READ CAREFULLY AND HAVE YOUR ANSWERS READY BEFORE GOING TO TABLE County Clerk W. B. Williams has forwarded us the following from the war department, giving detailed instructions as to what will be required of you on registration day, June 5th. All persons subject to the call are requested to carefully read this so they will have their answers ready when they go before the registrar. All answers will be written on the registration card in ink by the registrar, who will be careful to spell all names correctly and write legibly: 1 Name in full. Age in years— This means all your names spelled out in full. State your age today in years only. Disregard additional months or days. Be prepared to say "19," or "25," not "19 years, 2 months" or the like. 2 Home Address. This means the place where you have your permanent home, not the place where you work. Be prepared to give the address in this way: "232 Main Street, Chicago, Cook county, Illinois;" that is, give number and name of street first, then town, then county and state. 3 Date of Birth. Write your birthday (month, day and year) on a piece of paper before give the town, county, and state where you work. 9 Have you a father, mother, wife, child under 12, or a sister or brother under 12 solely dependent upon you for support (specify which)? Consider your answer thoughtfully. If it is true that there is another mouth than your own which you alone have a duty to feed, do not let your military ardor interfere with the wish of the Nation to reduce war's misery to a minimum. On the other hand, unless the person you have in mind is solely dependent on you, do not hide behind petticoats or children. 10 Married or single (which? Race (specify which)?) This does not ask whether you were once married, but whether you are married now. In answer to the question as to your race state briefly whether "Caucasian" "Mongolian," "Negro," "Malayan," or "Indian." 11 What military service have you had? Rank? Branch? Years? Nation or State? No matter what country you served, you must give complete information. In answering these questions, first name your rank, using one of the following words: "Commissioned officer" "Non-commissioned officer," "Private". Next, state branch in which you served in one of the following words: "Infantry," "Cavalry," "Artillery," "Medical," "Signal," "Aviation," "Supply," "Marine," "Navy." Next, state the number of years' service, not counting time spent in the Reserve. Finally, name the nation or state you served. If you served under the United States or one of the states of the United States, name your service in one of the following terms: "National Guard," (of such and such a state)" "Militia" (of such and such a state)" "Volunteers of the United States," or "Regular Army (Navy) of United States." 12 Do you claim exemption from draft? Specify grounds. Because you claim exemption from draft, it by no means follows that you are exempt. For the information of the War Department you should make a claim now if you intend to prosecute it. Some persons will be exempted on account of their occupations or offices, some on account of the fact that they have relatives dependent upon them for support. Your answer touching these things will be important in supporting the claim you now intend to kind of nourish them, and can, in specialists of the partment of agriculture more extensively as are commonly used where they are extreally unknead and northwest, while more expensive, be in large quantities. There are many peas, of which the eye sorts are considerable for the taste, digestibility, and they compare favored beans, while their ing flavor lead man equal, if not superior. Cowpeas are used three forms—in sheet and shelled dry, spectively to strip green beans, and dressing for much the preparation for the cowpeas are by far like dry navy or lily may be boiled with or baked and serve meat or other food. Boiled and mashed the beans form a ferrous dishes. They with milk and butter potatoes; formed with bread crumbs; made into a crumbs, minced veal seasonings, or made A delicious comed "Hopping John" as follows: Boll and a scant pint and mix together w should be seasoned. Bacon or beef the cowpeas adds to the dish. To cook cowpeas large, white, dry This means the place where you have your permanent home, not the place where you work. Be prepared to give the address in this way: "232 Main Street, Chicago, Cook county, Illinois;" that is, give number and name of street first, then town, then county and state. 3 Date of Birth. Write your birthday (month, day and year) on a piece of paper before going to the Registrar, and give the paper to him the first thing. Example, "August 5, 1894." If you do not remember the year, start to answer as you would if someone asked you your birthday, as "August 5th." Then say "on my birthday this year I will be (or was) years old." The Registrar will then fill in the year of birth. Many people do not carry in mind the year they were born. This may be obtained by the Registrar by subtracting the age in years on this year's birthday from 1917. 4 Are you (1) a natural born citizen; (2) a naturalized citizen; (3) an alien; (4) or have you declared your intention to become a citizen (specify which)? (1) If you were born in the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, you are a natural born citizen, no matter what may have been the citizenship or nationality of your parents. If you were born in Porto Rico, you are a citizen of the United States, unless you were born of alien parentage. If you were born abroad, you are still a citizen of the United States if your father was a citizen of the United States at the time you were born, unless you have expatriated yourself. (2) You are a naturalized citizen if you have completed your naturalization; that is, if you have "taken final papers." But you are not a citizen if you have only declared your intention to become a citizen (that is, if you have only "taken out first papers"); in the latter case you are only a "declarant." You are also a naturalized citizen if, although foreign born, your father or surviving parent become fully naturalized while you were under 21 years of age, and if you came to the United States under 21. (3) You are a declarant if, although a citizen or subject of some foreign country, you have declared on oath before a naturalization court your intention to become a citizen of the United States. Receipt from the clerk of the court of the certified copy of such declaration is often called "taking out first papers." You are not a declarant if your first paper was taken out after September 26, 1906, and is more than 7 years old. (4) You are an alien if you do not fall within one of the three classes above mentioned. 5 Where were you born? First name the town, then the state, then the country, as "Columbus, Ohio" "Vienna, Austria;" "Paris, France;" "Regular Army (Navy) of United States." 12 Do you claim exemption from draft? Specify grounds. Because you claim exemption from draft, it by no means follows that you are exempt. For the information of the War Department you should make a claim now if you intend to prosecute it. Some persons will be exempted on account of their occupations or offices, some on account of the fact that they have relatives dependent upon them for support. Your answer touching these things will be important in supporting the claim you now intend to make in your answer to the present questions. Be sure, therefore, that the grounds you now state are in conformity with your answers to questions 7 and 8. In stating grounds you claim as exempting you, use one of the following terms: If you claim to be an executive, legislative, or judicial officer of the state or nation, name your office and say whether it is an office of the state or nation. If you claim to be a member of a religious sect whose creed forbids its members to participate in war in any form, simply name the sect. If you are employed in the transmission of the United States mails or as an artificer or workman in an armory, arsenal, or navy yard of the United States, or if you are a mariner employed in the sea service of any citizen or merchant within the United States, so state. If you are a felon or otherwise morally deficient and desire to claim exemption on that ground, state your ground briefly. If you claim physical disability, state that briefly. If you claim exemption on any other ground, state your ground briefly. PUBLIC BUSINESS IN BRIEF As between 1911 and 1916 the receipts of the state increased 111.9 per cent and its payments 99.9 per cent. Counties, exclusive of San Francisco, increased 81.6 per cent as to receipts and 105.8 per cent as to payments. Cities, including San Francisco, increased 46 per cent as to receipts and 48.7 per cent as to payments. In 1916, on the average, of every dollar disbursed by California cities, 23.32 cents went to pay interest and sinking fund costs on outstanding bond issues. Out of a total disbursement of $149,119.20 last year, the state government disbursed 22.54 per cent, the counties 43.98 per cent and the cities 33.47 per cent. Education is the largest item in state and county expense, amounting to 30.67 per cent of total disbursements by the state, and 44.02 per cent in the case of counties. In cities, 9.61 per cent of disbursements went for education last year. A delicious com­ ided "Hopping John" as follows: Boll I and a scant plint and mix together wi­ should be seasoned ed.

RICE IN ORA before a naturalization court your intention to become a citizen of the United States. Receipt from the clerk of the court of the certified copy of such declaration is often called "taking out first papers." You are not a declarant if your first paper was taken out after September 26, 1906, and is more than 7 years old. (4) You are an alien if you do not fall within one of the three classes above mentioned. 5 Where were you born? First name the town, then the state, then the country, as "Columbus, Ohio;" "Vienna, Austria;" "Paris, France;" "Sofia, Bulgaria." 6 If not a citizen, of what country are you a citizen or subject? This need be answered only by aliens and declarants. Remember that a "declarant" is not yet a citizen of the United States. If an alien or declarant, state the name of your country, as "France," Japan," China," etc. 7 What is your present trade, occupation, or office? This does not ask what you once did, nor what you have done most of the time, nor what you are best fitted to do. It asks what your job is right now. State briefly, as "farmer," "miner," "student," "laborer" (on a farm, in rolling mill, in automobile wagon, or other factory)" "Machinist in automobile factory," etc. If you hold an office under the state or federal government, name the office you hold. If you are in one of the following offices or employments, use one of the names hereafter mentioned: "Customhouse clerk," "employed in the transmission of the mails" or "employed in an armory, arsenal, or navy yard," "mariner, actually employed in the sea service of citizen or merchant within the United States." 8 By whom employed? Where employed? If you are working for an individual, firm, corporation, or association, state its name. If in business, trade, profession, or employment for yourself, so state. If you are an officer of the state or federal government, say whether your office is under the United States, the state, the county, or a municipality. In answer to the question as to where you are employed, Out of a total disbursement of $149,119.20 last year, the state government disbursed 22.54 per cent, the counties 43.98 per cent and the cities 33.47 per cent. Education is the largest item in state and county expense, amounting to 30.67 per cent of total disbursements by the state, and 44.02 per cent in the case of counties. In cities, 9.61 per cent of disbursements went for education last year. Construction of roads, harbors and like works called for 28.90 per cent of the state's disbursements last year. For the same purposes the counties disbursed 24.55 per cent of their total and the cities 19.07 per cent. Protection to person and property is the heaviest item of municipal expense in California. California cities spend 39 times more than the state government for recreational activities and nearly 16 times more than the counties. Charities and corrections is the third item in importance in the state's disbursements, the fourth in those of counties and the ninth in those of cities. The state, counties and cities spent $19,284,707.74 last year for interest and sinking funds on bonds. Of this amount the state spent $3,099,935, the counties $4,552,732.87 and the cities $11,643,139.87. COWPEAS RECOMMENDED AS FOOD PRODUCT Government Says They Compare in Nutritive Value With Meat Cowpeas, or southern field peas, which despite their name, are really a kind of bean, are, like other dry beans, comparable with meat in the Anaheim Gazette kind of nourishment contained in them, and can, in the opinion of the specialists of the United States department of agriculture, well be used more extensively as human food. They are commonly used in the south, where they are extensively grown, but are practically unknown in the north and northwest, where other, often more expensive, beans are consumed in large quantities. There are many varieties of cowpeas, of which the white and black eye sorts are considered particularly desirable for the table. In palatability, digestibility, and nutritive value they compare favorably with other beans, while their delicate and pleasing flavor lead many to consider them equal, if not superior, to the latter. Cowpeas are used on the table in three forms—in the pod, shelled green and shelled dry, corresponding, respectively to string beans, shelled green beans, and dried beans, and calling for much the same methods of preparation for the table. The dry cowpeas are by far the most common. Like dry navy or lima beans, cowpeas may be boiled with a bit of fat meat or baked and served in place of lean meat or other food rich in nitrogen. Boiled and mashed through a colander the beans form a foundation for numerous dishes. They may be creamed with milk and butter, liked mashed potatoes; formed into crouquettes with bread crumbs and fried or baked; made into a loaf with bread crumbs, minced vegetables, milk and seasonings, or made into soup. A delicious combination dish, called "Hopping John," may be made as follows: Boil 1 quart of cowpeas and a scant pint of rice separately and mix together when done. The rice should be seasoned after it is cooked. Bacon or beef bone boiled with the cowpeas adds a desirable flavor to the dish. To cook cowpeas. Cook 1 quart of large, white, dry cowpeas slowly in fresh, clean and preferably infertile. After treatment they should be stored in a cool room or cellar. One gallon of sodium silicate is sufficient to preserve sixty dozen eggs by the wet method; a cost for material of 1¼ cents per dozen. One gallon of the silicate is sufficient to treat about 200 dozen by the dipping method, or three-eighths of a cent per dozen, to which must be added the cost of bran or sawdust, of which is required about one-half pound per dozen eggs. Many other methods have been used for preserving eggs. Some of these methods are unreliable, some injure the flavor of the eggs, and none appear to be equal to the methods with sodium silicate. BLACK WALNUT CAUSES HAY FEVER The black walnut is blamed for the prevalence of hay fever in the Sacramento valley by Dr. H. M. Hall, assistant professor of economic botany of the University of California, and Dr. Grant Selfridge, San Francisco physician. For four years he have been trying to trace the "sneezes" to its lair. Suspicion centered on the black walnut and recent examinations of patients have convinced them that the guilty party has been located. Keeping Up The Place THE SLACK TIMES OF RAINY DAYS AFFORD THE BEST OPPORTUNITY IN WHICH TO BEAUTIFY YOUR RANCH AN ARBOR LOCATED NEAR THE END OF THE KITCHEN WALK MAKES A DELIGHTFUL PLACE FOR THE HOUSEWIFE TO TURN TO WHEN PREPARING VEGETABLE OR FRUIT AS WELL AS AF A delicious combination dish, called "Hopping John," may be made as follows: Boil 1 quart of cowpeas and a scant plint of rice separately and mix together when done. The rice should be seasoned after it is cooked. Bacon or beef bone boiled with the cowpeas adds a desirable flavor to the dish. To cook cowpeas. Cook 1 quart of large, white, dry cowpeas slowly in water until they begin to soften. This will require five or six hours. Put them into a bean pot, add one-half pound of salt pork, and either 1 tablespoonful of molasses or a small onion cut up fine. Cover with water and bake slowly six or seven hours. It is well to have the pot covered except during the last hour. FIX DATE FOR HEARING CONTEST FOR BRACE ESTATE Left Two Wills, But Last One Was Unsigned A date is to be set by Judge West for the hearing of a petition to revoke the probate order of the will of the late Belle W. Brace, who is said to have died leaving two different wills, the contents of which were decidedly different. The Brace estate is valued at a little over $11,000. The petitioner who asks that the probate order be set aside is a cousin, Ralph H. Walling of Rochester, N. Y. At present the estate is in the hands of Theo. Winbigler, who is named administrator of the estate with will attached. The first hearing of a contest was had some months ago, when the administrator was named. The petition at hand states that the first will was made and signed on December 3, 1912, and that the last one is dated January 29, 1914. The answer of the administrator states that the last will was not signed and witnessed legally, an dhence is invalid. Mrs. Brace was killed by a fall from an automobile on the highway north of Anaheim a couple of years ago. Her husband who died a short time previous to her death, was a poultry raiser, being connected with Williams Brothers. RICE IN ORANGE COUNTY CABBAGE GROWERS ORGANIZE SOCIETY 130 Orangethorpe Ranchers Combine To Hold up Price An organization known as the Orange County Cabbage Growers' association has been effected by 130 Orangethorpe ranchers, representing 1,500 of the 1800 acres of cabbage in that vicinity. Several meetings were held at the Orangethorpe school building before the organization was perfected. The primary cause for the forming of the association was to forestall the decline in the price of cabbage, which sagged from $110 to about half that amount within two weeks. The ranchers believe they can hold the market up to $70 to $75 a ton. There is good profit at this figure, as the succulent vegetable is running all the way from six to 12 tons to the acre, with a not inconsiderable quantity at the latter figure. It looks as if the association was iron clad, with little chance for any brokers to get cabbage under the price fixed by the growers, who say they will do their own commission business. PRESERVATION OF FRESH EGGS Eggs may be spoiled by the growth of bacteria within the shell or by drying up account of evaporation through the shell. Both of these causes of spoiling may be prevented by covering the shells with a substance that will prevent the entrance of bacteria and the evaporation of water. The most convenient substance for this purpose is sodium silicate, which can be obtained from most drug stores in the form of a thick syrup for 75 cents per gallon. There are two ways of using it. One is to make a solution containing one part (by volume) of the silicate syrup and nine parts of pure boiled water. The eggs are placed in a crock, can, bucket, or small keg, and covered with solution. The other is to make a stronger solution containing one part of the silicate syrup and three parts of water. RICE IN ORANGE COUNTY An experiment in rice culture is being tried on the mesa this year on the property of the Blue Bill Gun Club, 2 miles west of Wintersburg, under the care of Herman Carter. The work is being done by E. Ray Moore, and a 2¼ acre piece of ground is now nearly ready for the seed. First the soil is plowed deep, well pulverized and leveled. The seed, 90 pounds to the acre, is sown broadcast and harrowed in. Then the whole field will be flooded for 48 hours, and drained. After the rice is up, it will be flooded again. The advice given by the agricultural department at Washington is that April is the month for rice planting. May being too late, but it was impossible for the men to get it in during April, and it may be the late planting will prove a success in that locality. On the 80-acre tract owned by the gun club is an unusually fine flowing well. It is a 12-inch well, cost $4000 and is 1200 feet deep, but the supply of water comes from a subterranean lake 500 feet below the surface. Casting about for a way to utilize this enormous output of water and also to reduce the high cost of living, by at least furnishing some extra food for ducks, if not for man, this experiment suggested itself.

Low boiling points for easy starting, medium boiling points for quick and smooth acceleration, and high boiling points for power and mileage. Red Crown is a straight-distilled gasoline. Hence there's a continuous chain of boiling points, gradually rising from low to high. Mixtures cannot have a continuous chain of boiling points. That's why mixtures cannot be as good motor fuel as pure straight-run gasoline.
