REGISTRATION IS 477 IN THIS TOWNSHIP TOTAL OF MILITARY AGE IN ORANGE COUNTY FOOTS UP TO 4722 TWENTY-ONE ALIEN ENEMIES FOUND, ONLY ONE BEING IN ANAHEIM When the figures turned in by the thirteen registrars in Anaheim township were footed up in County Clerk Williams' office last Wednesday there were 477 men of military age in the township. An even 400 of these were in the eleven city precincts, 44 in East Anaheim, and 33 in West Anaheim. In the city 312 were native whites, 5 colored, 82 aliens and one alien enemy. In East Anaheim there were 36 natives and eight aliens, in West Anaheim 33 natives and 3 aliens. Of the 312 natives in the city, 184 registered a claim to exemption on various grounds, most of them being married or having dependents, while 128 recorded no exemption. In West Anaheim only 11 had reason to claim exemption, and 22 declared themselves eligible. It was fifty-fifty in East Anaheim, 18 being registered in each column. There are therefore 168 young men in the township who see no reason why they should not be subject to the selective conscription. As Anaheim's quota will probably not be over 20 men there appears to be ample material here from which to draw without resorting to the mar. SUPERVISORS ORDER YORBA BRIDGE BUILT H. Clay Kellogg Given an Extension Of Time on Canyon Road Purchasing Agent Perry and County Surveyor McBride were directed by the supervisors at the last meeting to proceed forthwith to purchase lumber, steel and hardware for use in construction of a 440 foot bridge across the Santa Ana river at Yorba. The county auditor was directed to cancel duplicate assessment of Louis Mendelson, No. 12365. The application of John T. Carpenter Water company to lay 10 inch cement pipe line across Alameda St. El Modena was granted. The application of E. W. Squires to lay 3-4 inch pipe line under Santiago Blvd., near Olive, was granted subject to approval of maintenance engineer. The hearing of the petition of Rosa Yorba Locke, et al, to vacate road in Yorba Road district, was continued to June 19, 1917, at 10 a.m. The board appointed Charles E. Teach and J. R. Parkers members of the county board of educatlaon for the term of two years each. The warrant of James T. Handley for $144.76 was withheld on notice of claim. The report of the Engineer on road improvement district No. 2 was ordered filed, and resolution of intention ordered prepared by the district attorney. The clerk was directed to advertise for bids for sale of rock crusher located at corner of Fruit and Logan streets, Santa Ana, bids to be opened June 19, at 11 a.m. H. Clay Kellogg, contractor on Santa Ana canyon road, was given until August 1st, to complete his contract. A motion was made by Supervisor Finley that in the future no demands he passed to the Auditor for payment works. During two months Martin was acting p company, during which were more than doubled.

In West Anaheim only 11 had reason to claim exemption, and 22 declared themselves eligible. It was fifty-fifty in East Anaheim, 18 being registered in each column. There are therefore 168 young men in the township who see no reason why they should not be subject to the selective conscription. As Anaheim's quota will probably not be over 20 men there appears to be ample material here from which to draw without resorting to the married roll. The total registration in the county was 4722. Of this number 3620 are native born, 2185 claiming exemption while 143 do not. There are 31 colored men, 13 of them wanting to be exempt against 18 who do not. The aliens in the county number 1050, and there are 21 alien enemies. Fullerton's total is 394, 296 of them being native whites, 6 colored, 86 aliens and 6 alien enemies. 171 natives declare exemptions, 125 do not. Placentia broke even in the exemption clause, 63 having reasons for not going and 63 being untrammeled. The total registration in that town was 169, 43 of them being aliens. The banner precinct in the county is Orange-thorpe. Out of 32 natives only four claimed to be exempt. There must be a large number of young bachelors in Orangethorpe. On the other hand in Santa Ana precinct No. 20, out of 50 within the age, 46 were either married or were suffering from disabilities. In Magnolia the young men must nearly all be married, as out of a total of 15 only two are eligible. COMPLETE FIRE BREAK FIFTY-ONE MILES LONG Protection Work Accomplished by Forester Stephenson Forest Ranger Burt Stephenson of El Toro has completed an active winter's work on fire breaks and fire trails in the Santa Ana mountains with a fund that was raised by contributions from the county, the El Modena and Villa Park water companies and the forest service. Stephenson has returned from Escondido, where he filed his report with Forest Supervisor Sloane, head of the Cleveland National Forest, and made plans for the summer's fire protection work. A crew of men under Stephenson extended the fire trail on top of the ridge southward to join on a fire trail ordered prepared by the district attorney. The clerk was directed to advertise for bids for sale of rock crusher located at corner of Fruit and Logan streets, Santa Ana, bids to be opened June 19, at 11 a.m. H. Clay Kellogg, contractor on Santa Ana canyon road, was given until August 1st, to complete his contract. A motion was made by Supervisor Finley that in the future no demands be passed to the Auditor for payment until said demands have been personally inspected by each member present at the meeting. The motion was lost for want of a second. RECORD FRUIT CROP IN STATE Reports received by State Commissioner Geo. H. Hecke from the horticultural commissioners of the 45 fruit producing counties of California, showing fruit conditions on June first, promise the largest crop setting on the trees in years. A shortage is noted in some localities in a few varieties, while other sections show above the average, and the new acreage coming into bearing should offset the losses. The weather for the month of May, while cooler than usual has benefited the grain crop, and has not proved injurious to the fruit crop, except in one county—some sections of Sonoma county suffered a slight loss from a freak frost visitation, and yet this county as well as nearly all others of California show a more optimistic outlook than a month ago. For example, by way of comparison with the May reports: Almonds made a gain of one point during the month, moving from 50% to 59%. Apples lose one, from 93 in May to 92 in June. Apricots show a handsome increase moving from a 57 per cent crop on May 1st to 65 per cent June 1st. Other fruits as follows: May 1 June 1 Cherries .....68% 67% Figs .....94 95 Lemons .....91 91 Olives .....96 96 Oranges .....94 100 Peaches .....83 86 Pears .....99 89 Plums .....60 61 Prunes .....91 77 Walnuts .....94 99 Because of the important bearing order prepared by the district attorney.

Clay Kellogg, contractor on Santa Ana canyon road, was given until August 1st, to complete his contract.

An appeal public to exercise it than ever before national defense has jointly by Benjamin the state council of trict Forester Dulce been written to chambers of communications, and newspapers the need of fire prepping out that a man carelessly cast as left burning may field fire destroying els of grain badly tary allies or those range upon which pend for feed. Farmers are adment useful for fills, tractors, we should at all time stant use. A fu with a fund that was raised by contributions from the county, the El Modena and Villa Park water companies and the forest service. Stephenson has returned from Escondido, where he filed his report with Forest Supervisor Sloane, head of the Cleveland National Forest, and made plans for the summer's fire protection work. A crew of men under Stephenson extended the fire trail on top of the ridge southward to join on a fire trail built by rangers to the south. This gives a continuous fire guard and trail from Sierra Peak, near Alta Vista, to Wildomar, a distance of fifty one miles. On this main ridge trail, Stephenson cut four miles of trail this winter and grubbed out five miles in addition to the four newly cut. A fire trail was opened from the other was cut in the Harding canyon to the top of the main divide. Another was cut, the Harding canyon fire trail, from the Burson ranch in Williams canyon to the foot of Modjeska Peak, sometimes called North Peak. Both of these join the main divide trail, and are of importance particularly to protect a portion of the range often threatened by fire. The San Juan Hot Springs trail was grubbed out and repaired. The Santiago Peak trail from Joplin's to the top of the peak has been brushed out and repaired. A trail from the Shrewsbury ranch in Silverado has been opened, and may be used by those who want to climb Santiago Peak from that direction. This trail starts just below the Shrewsbury house and takes up the side canyon. This trail is not as good as the one that starts at the Joplin ranch, and persons planning a trip to the top of the peak will find the Joplin trail preferable, so far as easy traveling is concerned. MARTIN BUILDS AIRSHIPS FOR UNITED STATES Former Santa Ana Boy is Extremely Busy Man Bringing the word that her son, Glenn L. Martin, the aircraft manufacturer, is head over heels in business having to do with meeting government orders for aircraft supplies, Mrs. C. Y. Martin returned recently from a seven-months' visit with her son in New York. The former Santa Anan is one of the big guns of the aeroplane makers whose work, now that the United States is at war, is of tremendous importance. He is vice president and head of the aeroplane department of the Wright-Martin Aircraft Corporation, organized nearly a year ago in the merger of the Wright and Martin factories and the Simplex automobile May 1 June 1 Cherries .....68% 67% Figs .....94 95 Lemons .....91 91 Olives .....96 96 Oranges .....94 100 Peaches .....83 86 Pears .....99 89 Plums .....60 61 Prunes .....91 77 Walnuts .....94 99 Because of the important bearing of the fruit crop, California's chief food industry, has on the unusual world wide conditions, more or less anxiety has been manifested, and Mr. Hecke has shared in this, but having passed the most critical period, he now feels that with the usual care and continued favorable conditions, a record crop of fruits may be prophesied for 1917.

More than tions have been Anaheim Gazette works. During two months this spring Martin was acting president of the company, during which time his duties were more than doubled. The company is busy with its government work. Just before the United States was drawn into the war, the corporation accepted a contract for supplying 650 Simplex Hispano-Sulza motors to the French government. When the United States became involved, the corporation made an arrangement whereby the order was reduced to 400, so that the works of the company could be turned upon the making of aero motors for the United States. The former Martin factory in Los Angeles is a part of the corporation's property. Glenn Martin will come to the coast about July 1 for a brief business trip, after which he will return immediately to New York. THE APRICOT CROP With unprecedented crops and prices and with factories and canneries nearing opening dates, this immediate vicinity is within three or four weeks of a long period of employment for every man, and woman and boy and girl who can render any kind of service, when money in "carload lots" will roll into the city for circulation in business channels, says the Register. The producer and the laborer alike will roll in wealth, figuratively speaking. Between July 1 and August 15, about $22,500 "pin money" will be distributed among women and girls as a result of the apricot crop. Thousands of dollars will go to men and boys for picking up the little gold nuggets from under the trees and passing them on to the pitting camps to keep busy the thousands of fingers of the women and girls who will slice them and service this summer to keep the number of fires less than last year—a season of great hazard, although only 1,387 fires in the national forest in California were reported, which was less than the average for previous years. EDISON SETS FINE EXAMPLE Invited by the president to come to Washington to meet the members of the Franco-British mission, Thomas Edison replied taht he was too busy. Urged again by the statement that the delegates were very anxious to meet him, Edison retorted that he was too busy. The secretary of war wired Edison asking him to come as a personal favor. The inventor replied that he was too busy. This is refreshing. At least one man knows enough to stick to the job in hand and forego pleasantries. And an additional significance is given the refusal of Edison to leave his work even for a day by the statement that the inventor has finally got his hands on a solution of the undersea boat menace. If this should prove to be true, the civilized world will hall the famous Americans the inventive genius of the century. This incident has a moral side, too. Anything worth while is accomplished only by sticking to it. And Edison has taught the country a lesson in another way. He has shown it that this is the time for work by those in position to do something to help the nation and its allies. Talk is perhaps important by those whose business it is to exhort and point the way but the worker who knows what is required of him has no excuse for lingering to listen to the exchange of either amenities or congratulations. LET WOMEN HELP IN WAR How can every home making woman until sugar is at a reasonable price, and then made into jelly. Fruits for drying should be thoroughly ripe. Prunes should be dipped in a boiling solution of four ounces of lime to a gallon of water for a few seconds, or until the skin checks, and should be turned over while drying. Apricots and peaches should be cut in pieces and the pits removed, and exposed to sulphur fumes in a closed box for two hours. Pears should be sliced in two and sulphured for three hours. Apples should be pared, sliced and sulphured for half an hour. Dipping and sulphuring will hasten the drying of ripe grapes. Most fruit requires turning at least once on the trays while drying, and should not be dried too much. For putting down, eggs should be perfectly clean, preferably not more than two days old, and preferable infertile. They should not be washed. Water glass, which can be bought at any drug store, should be mixed one part to nine parts of boiled water, and the eggs stored in this solution in a large can, crock or other container. Any housewife can obtain valuable publications on drying, salting and canning fruits and vegetables and preserving eggs by writing to the college of agriculture at Berkeley or to the secretary of agriculture at Washington, D.C. Eighty-five women and men recently attended a demonstration of such methods at the University of California Farm at Davis. It is planned to give such demonstrations in other parts of the state.

HELD TO ANSWER Rufus Acosta, charged with the murder of Antonio Villa Gomez on May The producer and the laborer alike will roll in wealth, figuratively speaking. Between July 1 and August 15, about $22,500 "pin money" will be distributed among women and girls as a result of the apricot crop. Thousands of dollars will go to men and boys for picking up the little gold nuggets from under the trees and passing them on to the pitting camps to keep busy the thousands of fingers of the women and girls who will slice them and place them on traps for drying. The producers will receive for this crop in the neighborhood of $270,000, if they receive 15 cents a dried pound, and more if the selling price is higher. It is estimated that the apricot crop will be about 900 dried tons. This means about 4500 tons of green fruit that will have to be handled. The trees this year are loaded as they have never been loaded before. That the total tonnage is no greater than in more recent years is accounted for by the fact that hundreds of acres of apricot trees have been grubbed up in the past three or four years. Apricot acreage in many sections has been cut in half, oranges and lemons supplanting the cots. PREVENT FIRES The forest service and the food supply committee of the state council of defense have commenced an intensive educational campaign for the prevention of forest fires, according to a statement given out by the forest service. An appeal calling upon the public to exercise more care with fire than ever before as a measure of national defense has been drawn up jointly by Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the state council of defense and District Forester DuBois. Letters have been written to schools, churches, chambers of commerce, civic organizations, and newspapers, emphasizing the need of fire prevention and pointing out that a match or a cigar stub carelessly cast aside or a camp fire left burning may result in a grain field destroying thousands of bushels of grain badly needed by our military allies or thousands of acres of range upon which the stockmen depend for feed. Farmers are advised that all equipment useful for fire fighting, such as plows, tractors, water wagons, etc., should at all times be ready for instant use. A fully equipped water in position to do something to help the nation and its allies. Talk is perhaps important by those whose business it is to exhort and point the way but the worker who knows what is required of him has no excuse for lingering to listen to the exchange of either amenities or congratulations. LET WOMEN HELP IN WAR How can every home making woman help win the war by aiding toward conserving the world's supply of food and preventing waste? Here are some suggestions made by the dietetics experts of the University of California to the committee on resources and food supply of the state council of defense. All surplus food should be canned, dried or preserved. Cans are scarce, and other methods of preserving should be used whenever practicable. The less watery vegetables, such as peas, string beans and corn are most appropriate for canning. The simplest method is to can vegetables in a weak brine, containing a quarter to a half a pint of lemon juice or a half a pint to a pint of vinegar to the gallon. Tomatoes need no acid. Never should vegetables be canned simply by putting them hot into cans or jars and sealing them, nor even by heating once, as is done with fruits. The acid method should be used and vegetables heated in sealed cans for an hour, three times, on successive days, to prevent danger of ptomaine poisoning due to the growth of botulinus bacteria. It is safest to cook canned vegetables again before putting them on the table. By drying, vegetables lose 75 to 95 per cent of their weight, but lose not a particle of their food value. Vegetables can be dried by exposing them to the sun on wooden trays, paper, or cloth. Beets and corn should be cooked before drying, and potatoes, turnips and carrots sulphured. Dried vegetables should be kept in closed boxes or sacks and soaked in water until plump before cooking. Salting is a good way to preserve string beans, turnips, carrots, spinach, parsnips or artichokes, but not peas. After cleaning, slicing and removing useless parts, a pound of dry salt should be used for three pounds of prepared vegetables. They should be placed in a crock or barrel and weights put on to bring out the juices. Salt- ing out that a match or a cigar stub carelessly cast aside or a camp fire left burning may result in a grain field fire destroying thousands of bushels of grain badly needed by our military allies or thousands of acres of range upon which the stockmen depend for feed. Farmers are advised that all equipment useful for fire fighting, such as plows, tractors, water wagons, etc., should at all times be ready for instant use. A fully equipped water wagon following a harvester, especially where tractors are used, is recommended. Old sacks should be saved, as wet sacks are very useful in putting out grain fires. Cutting a strip of grain of from 35 to 40 feet in width for hay and then plowing the strip is very effective both in safeguarding against as well as preventing the spread of fire. Large areas of grain should be similarly safe guarded so that at least every 200 acres will have this protection. Those living or traveling within the national forests or in other brush and timber regions are cautioned never to leave their camp fires even for a short time without extinguishing them. Other precautions against fire in the woods are the stamping out of glowing matches or burning tobacco and the refraining from building camp fires or bonfires against logs or trees, in needles or leaves, or the building of large fires in windy weather. In addition to the loss of timber and stock food destroyed by fire this season, there will be serious loss in labor employed in fighting fires. A good sized fire might take 1200 man-days to control just at the time when this labor is most needed in the harvest fields. More than the ordinary preparations have been taken by the Forest Dried vegetables should be kept in closed boxes or sacks and soaked in water until plump before cooking. Salting is a good way to preserve string beans, turnips, carrots, spinach, parsnips or artichokes, but not peas. After cleaning, slicing and removing useless parts, a pound of dry salt should be used for three pounds of prepared vegetables. They should be placed in a crock or barrel and weights put on to bring out the juices. Salted vegetables should be soaked in water 24 hours before using to remove the salt. String beans and various vegetables, as well as cabbage, may be made into a "sauer kraut." Because of this year's shortage of jars and cans, it is best to cook the fruit before it is placed in cans or jars, as this cooks the fruits down before canning. All fruits should be dried which can readily be dried, to economize jars and cans. If sugar is too high in price, use very ripe fruit and can without sugar. Sugar can be added before eating if individual taste demands. Leave no empty jars or cans on your shelves—encourage your neighbors to do likewise. Fruit may be kept in Crisco or Karo cans or cans with similar tops. Fruit juices should be kept in bottles, to save jars for fruit. If bottles of fruit juice are clased with corks sterilized by boiling in water ten minutes, and the corked bottle filled to within one and a half inches of the top, then heated for 15 minutes under water of a temperature of 180 degrees F., and the corks then sealed with paraffine or wax, the juice will keep for years. Bottled fruit juices may be kept The Test of Good Gasoline High Boiling Points for power & mileage Medium Boiling Points for quick & smooth acceleration Low Boiling Points for easy starting A CONTINUOUS CHAIN OF BOILING POINTS STANDARD OIL COMPANY RED CROWN GASOLINE ICE WOOD COAL Seeds, Poultry Supplies, Stock Feed, Flour, Grain, Hay.
