TO BEAUTIFY SITE ON CENTER AND CLAUDINA STS. Continued from Page 1 of the general fund for that purpose. Mayor Schneider looked with disfavor upon the action of one member trying to defeat the wishes of four and believed the work should proceed. At the next meeting the resolution calling for bids will be accepted, but thirty days thereafter must elapse, according to law, before any other preliminaries may be preceded with. It is the intention of the trustees to have the hall built as soon as possible. Trustees Brunworth of the finance committee reported auditing demands against the city in the amount of $7254.40 for which warrants were ordered drawn. The following officers' reports were received and ordered filed: By City Marshal, collected for license, $1135.50. By rate collector: For light ... $2399.50 For water ... $1429.95 Total ... $3829.45 Delinquents collected: Light ... 144.15 Water ... 134.80 Penalties ... 15.65 Total ... $294.60 Delinquents reported: For light ... $120.40 For water ... $126.05 Total ... $246.45 ing it pronounce it better than any other. Orange and lemon trees are greatly benefitted by its use. Many others want the water, but the supply is limited. The trustees have been informed time and again by the state board of health that the Anaheim sewer farm is not by any means a nuisance, and further that the plant is far and away ahead of many others in the state. The trustees are not to pay any heed to threatened interference, and will fight injunction proceedings, should they be filed. The matter of opening up Cypress street between Palm and Citron, was deferred until the next meeting. Unless the property owners, through which the new street will traverse, place a reasonable figure upon the stripts to be taken, the council will form a district and assess benefits and damages. H. G. Ames heartily thanked the board for holding their meeting on Wednesday evening (a day previous to the regular meeting night), which was done at the request of Mr. Ames at an earlier session because Mr. Ames (who is city attorney) would be compelled to attend the Elks' patriotic demonstration on Flag Day (of which order he is Exalted Ruler) which occurred upon the same day as the time of the trustee's meeting. Mr. Ames asked this favor as he could not very well be in two places at one and the same time. The following communication was received from W. D. Hamman of Los Angeles, auditor and public accountant. The same was read and ordered filed: Los Angeles, Cal., May 27, '17 Mr. Edward B. Merritt, City Clerk, Anaheim, California, Dear Mr. Merritt:— I am in receipt of yours of 26 with copy of Gazette containing your annual report, for fiscal year ending May 1. This is certainly a most commendable excluding bonds, augment these revenues thereto revenues of cities; you defeat the laws and convey a waiver to your citizens and tae Now Mr. Merritt, I hope to find fault, but rather structive in my criticism out what is wrong and necessary to remedy your object is to be helpful will receive my criticis I would suggest that this communication to Trustees and that your investigate and advise Trustees whether the letter to are not contrary to the letter of the state. If a change in your desired I shall be glad. Yours truly, W. S. Mayor Schneider no Merritt to produce his and read the minutes of March 15th last, we opened to furnish the several bid had been due consideration Byron-Jackson Underwere accepted. The Byron for a pump, with a motor, costing $3485 The Kimball bid, withers motor, was $3381 In amounts was $104 livery was an import bidding. The former would be delivered with latter bidder's time under these conditions cided to accept the Byron besides their motor be while the other, the tain, did not meet with al. Later it had been Dwyer that some "rich dug up with that deal that the bid accepted w $104 higher than the company, but in view the former motor is re where as being of a and from the further f The city recorder reported 17 cases in court during the month and fines collected amounting to $137.50. The reports of the city electrician, gas and plumbing inspector and the street superintendent were each in turn received and accepted. The treasurer reported a balance of $25,656.61 in the general fund on June 12th. Ordinance No. 316, granting the Salt Lake railway a 50 year franchise to operate its lines through this city was given second reading and adopted. The same will be found printed on another page of this issue. A contract was signed by the city to furnish Floyd B. Kealher with electric energy for pumping purposes. A renewal of insurance for $1500 on barns was accepted, and the policy ordered filed. A building permit was granted H. E. W. Barnes for a $3000 residence in the Zeyn tract, and also one to Mrs. Resh to construct a corrugated garage, costing $75. Upon recommendation of Engineer Adams it was ordered that two additional switchboards be purchased for the power plant. These additions are found necessary owing to the increased demand for lighting and power service. The fire alarm siren is to be removed to the city hall premises from its present location at the power plant. The change is to be made at slight cost, and it will be more convenient, as the same may be operated by the motor truck driver when alarms are sent in to him. Compressed air is to be furnished to sound the siren. Heretofore when alarms are given the driver transmitted the call to the engineer at the power house and he in turn gave the signal. Under the new idea the operation of the siren will be in the hands of the engine man. Engineer Steward was instructed to prepare new water maps of the city, showing all pipes and gates, etc. Total: $3829.45 Delinquents collected: Light: 144.15 Water: 134.80 Penalties: 15.65 Total: $294.60 Delinquents reported: For light: $120.40 For water: 126.05 Total: $246.45 I am in receipt of yours of 26 with copy of Gazette containing your annual report, for fiscal year ending May 1. This is certainly a most commendable statement as to your cash receipts and disbursements with substantial increases in your revenues and find balances over prior statement. Too many California cities through extravagance and guess work as to estimated revenues and expenses, come out at the end of the year with little or no unexpended balances. In making a cursory analysis of your statement, I note that your increase in revenues and fund balance, is not the result of excess of regular municipal revenues nor from savings in expenses of regular departments and city activities, but rather the result of the excess of your revenues from water, light, etc., over maintenance, operation and overhead charges for those municipal projects. In other words you collected about $12,000 more in revenues than your expenditures for power and light activities. While this shows a prosperous condition in a sense of those plants, it would indicate that consumers should have a reduction in rates. I note from an article in the Gazette that it is proposed to use this surplus in your general fund for the erection of a city hall. You surely need a new city hall, but the question I would raise is that it is hardly equitable nor in harmony with sound economic municipal policy to use revenues from rate payers of power and light to pay for public buildings, as by so doing you are shielding the property such as vacant lots which contribute nothing usually to revenues for power and light, and throwing the burden upon the rate user. This is a point that has been condemned by writers who favor municipal ownership and gives rise to much opposition to city owned enterprises that a different policy would avert. The placing of your power and light revenues in a general fund is not in harmony with modern municipal accounting which requires the revenues and expenses for such municipal enterprises should be kept separate and distinct from normal city business in order that a true comparison may be made of your city's efficiency with others in the same class. You know perhaps that the state controller compiles statistics of receipts and expenses of municipal industries. In the last annual report for the year ending June 30 1916 I note a very creditable detailed statement as to the operation of your plants while your statement as published not classified or grounded Los Angeles, Cal., May 27, '17 Mr. Edward B. Merritt, City Clerk, Anaheim, California, Dear Mr. Merritt: Later it had been Dwyer that some "rich" dug up with that deal that the bid accepted $104 higher than the company, but in view of the former motor is re-where as being of a land from the further far pany stipulated they will motor within 90 days accepted as being ther board classes the other inferior, besides its time was indefinite. All board, including Dwyer or of accepting the Byrne The purpose of reread was to bring out these Trustee Dwyer nowism was shown, but bers view the transfer open and square and terests of the city. At this point Trustee ed up his notes and other things would be would leave it to them. Trustee Cook focus Trustee Dwyer, said "Don't you insinuate ed, or that I ever from anyone while a board; don't you do A decided calm peril chamber, Mayor for the bills and the FULLERTON SLACE Several Reasons for But They Don't With Fa A rather unusual "slacker" one Earl Lerton, was taken to by Sheriffs Ryan and man gives several diffran explanation for this lister. He told his register in Anaheim, blanks were gone, that it would be fixe another time he told years of age, but he 29, when questioned by while his marriage present age as 26. Engineer Steward was instructed to prepare new water maps of the city, showing all pipes and gates, etc. There are old maps in existence, but they are of an antedated period, and consequently incomplete. Engineer Steward was also empowered to install another Imhoff tank at the sewer farm to supply the increased demand of the farm. The board at this time discussed the probable serving of an injunction to prevent further improvements at the sewerage farm, the proceedings it is said being instigated by a number of West Anaheim residents. These people claim the farm is a nuisance, and even had the district attorney over one day recently to investigate the situation. It is reported that the county official after exercising his sense of smell close to the weir came away convinced that a unison existed. However, according to Engineer Steward and others, within two or three feet of the weir the place is odorless. Should the sewer farm be condemned on this score, every sewerage farm in the state could be classed likewise. After the sewerage enters the septic tanks the sludge enters into a stage of disintegration—where putrefaction is promoted. After the fluid passes to the succeeding tanks it emerges, it is said by experts, to be 95 per cent pure. This water is used for irrigation. People who are us- You know perhaps that the state controller compiles statistics of receipts and expenses of municipal industries. In the last annual report for the year ending June 30 1916 I note a very creditable detailed statement as to the operation of your plants while your statment as published is not so classified or grouped by standard functions, hence your people can not get as much out of the published report as they should otherwise. My idea of an annual report for publication would be to classify and arrange revenues and expenditures to conform with the report you make the controller, except to run parallel columns showing previous year's figures with present, and increase or decrease. I would recommend a change in your accounting to place your electric and water revenues and expenses in separate fund accounts, and not mix governmental functions with those that are non-governmental in their nature, so that you can formulate a scientific budget each year, and measure results at the close of the year with the estimate, by so doing you will be in line with the best modern practice and make your municipal business conform more closely to well managed private business. I would call your attention to the "One Twelfth Law" being Act 2348, Section 102 Municipal Corporations of California a law which is little known and scarcely ever observed by municipalities. This law by implication at least prohibits mixing of municipal utility revenues with those of purely governmental use. The prohibition extends to the monthly expenditure of more than one twelfth of the "funds set apart for the maintenance of the municipal government." You also know, I assume, that a limitation of cities is imposed $1.00 for taxation for purely municipal pur- by Sheriffs Ryan and man gives several different explanation for this register. He told his register in Anaheim, blanks were gone, said that it would be fixed another time he told years of age, but he 29, when questioned by while his marriage present age as 26. He he was sent out on the Strain Packing he works for, and was back before the poll. The officers lodged as he has not yet signed register, they are unable to do with his case. A just received from the registration by Couliams, in regard to renton blanks, the clean enough to accommodate late.

Now Mr. Merritt, I have not sought to find fault, but rather to be constructive in my criticism, in pointing out what is wrong and the changes necessary to remedy the evils. My object is to be helpful and I trust you will receive my criticism in that light. I would suggest that you present this communication to your Board of Trustees and that your City Attorney investigate and advise your Board of Trustees whether the methods alluded to are not contrary to the spirit if not the letter of the state law. If a change in your accounting is desired I shall be glad to assist you. Yours truly, W. S. HAMMAN Mayor Schneider now asked Clerk Merritt to produce his minute book and read the minutes of the meeting of March 15th last, when bids were opened to furnish the city a fire pump. Several bid had been received and after due consideration the bid of the Byron-Jackson Underwriters company was accepted. The Byron-Jackson bid for a pump, with a Fairbanks-Morse motor, costing $3485 was accepted. The Kimball bid, with an Allis-Chalmers motor, was $3381. The difference in amounts was $104. The time of delivery was an important item of the bidding. The former, it was said, would be delivered within 90 days, the latter bidder's time was indefinite. Under these conditions the board decided to accept the Byron-Jackson bid, besides their motor being a standard, while the other, the trustees maintain, did not meet with their approval. Later it had been intimated by Dwyer that some "rich stuff" could be dug up with that deal. It was found that the bid accepted was really about $104 higher than the Allis-Chalmers company, but in view of the fact that the former motor is recognized everywhere as being of a standard make, and from the further fact that the com- STATES' PRODUCTION OF STAPLES IN 1916 DEVELOPMENT BOARD GIVES STATISTICS ON VARIOUS CROPS OF CALIFORNIA LARGE INCREASE OVER OUTPUT OF PREVIOUS YEARS IS SHOWN Olive culture is one of the oldest fruit industries of California. The first grove was planted in San Diego in 1769, and that county still is a large producer of olives and olive oil. Each year shows increased plantings, there now being thirty-eight counties ranging from San Diego in the south to Shasta in the north in which there are more than 100 trees. The number of trees in the spring of 1916, as reported by the state board of equalization were 8324,939 bearing and 515,221 non-bearing. Statistics are difficult to obtain but this industry is becoming more attractive and remunerative, and the removal of competition with adulterated oil by the pure food regulations has given an impetus to planting new trees. It is estimated that the annual production of olive oil amounts to 1,000,000 gallons and 300,000 cases of packed olives of six gallons to the case. For 1915-16, the figures given by the California Fruit News show an importation of 7,224,431 gallons of oil and 5,938,446 gallons of olives. Among the largest olive groves reported in the state is that of Sylmar (near Los Angeles) with 1,200 acres per cent, which insures its keeping indefinitely. There are now growing in Coachella valley about 40,000 imported palms and nearly one million seedlings. About 100,000 pedigree date seeds are being planted this season. Imperial valley is second in importance in this industry. According to B. Suryieh, of the Imperial Valley Investigation station, climatic conditions of Imperial Valley permit of the perfect ripening of the palms of first class packing dates which are shipped to discriminating markets and have commanded such unqualified approval that it has been impossible to fill last season's orders. There are now growing in Imperial valley 1,000 imported palms; and, according to F. W. Walte, horticultural commissioner of Imperial county, there are 26,550 seedlings of which 1,000 are in bearing. Food chemists and medical experts agree that each acre of dates will feed more people than any other known crop, and in view of the fact that there are so few parts of the world where this crop is successfully grown there seems to be no doubt but that the demand will always far exceed the supply. California is the most important factor in viticulture in the United States. It has over 90,000,000 vines, more than all the rest of the states in the Union. It represents an investment of $150,000,000, which returns an annual income to the grower of over $20,000,000. Over 100,000 people are dependent upon California's viticultural industry. This includes 15,000 heads of families that own vineyards; 700 wine makers; and the laborers who do the picking and hauling, besides those employed in the wineries and those engaged in cultivating and handling our raisin and table grapes. According to the 1916 report of the state board of equalization 356,009 acres were devoted to grape growing besides their motor being a standard, while the other, the trustees maintain, did not meet with their approval. Later it had been intimated by Dwyer that some "rich stuff" could be dug up with that deal. It was found that the bid accepted was really about $104 higher than the Allis-Chalmers company, but in view of the fact that the former motor is recognized everywhere as being of a standard make, and from the further fact that the company stipulated they would furnish the motor within 90 days their bid was accepted as being the best. The board classes the other motor as being inferior, besides its time of delivery was indefinite. All members of the board, including Dwyer, voted in favor of accepting the Byron-Jackson bid. The purpose of rereading the minutes was to bring out these facts. Trustee Dwyer now avers favoritism was shown, but the other members view the transaction as being open and square and for the best interests of the city. At this point Trustee Dwyer gathered up his notes and intimated that other things would be aired up. He would leave it to the people. Trustee Cook focusing his eyes upon Trustee Dwyer, said determinedly, "Don't you insinuate that I am crooked, or that I ever accepted favors from anyone while a member of this board; don't you do it." A decided calm pervaded the council chamber, Mayor Schneider called for the bills and the board adjourned. FULLERTON SLACKER LANDS IN JAIL Several Reasons for not Registering But They Don't Correspond With Facts A rather unusual and interesting "slacker" one Earl Armstrong of Fullerton, was taken to jail Friday night by Sheriffs Ryan and Fowler. The man gives several different reasons as an explanation for his neglect to register. He told his wife he went to register in Anaheim, but that all the blanks were gone, and he was told that it would be fixed up for him. At another time he told her he was 32 years of age, but he modified this to 29, when questioned by the authorities while his marriage license gives his present age as 26. He also told Ryan by the pure food regulations has given an impetus to planting new trees. It is estimated that the annual production of olive oil amounts to 1,000,000 gallons and 300,000 cases of packed olives of six gallons to the case. For 1915-16, the figures given by the California Fruit News show an importation of 7,224,431 gallons of oil and 5,938,446 gallons of olives. Among the largest olive groves reported in the state is that of Sylmar (near Los Angeles) with 1,200 acres under one management, and a 2,000-acre tract near Porterville. The California ripe olive has rapidly come into favor. During the year 1914-15 it appeared on the market in a form known as dehydrated olive, which has become very popular. In 1916 still another form appeared under the name of the Greek Olive, which is a ripe olive cured by a salt process similar to that used in Greece. Owing to the fact that the importation of this article is entirely cut off on account of the European war, the California product finds a ready market among the Greek and Turkish residents of the United States, by whom it is largely consumed. It is interesting to note that the three largest ripe olive packing plants in the world are located in Butte county. A process which enables ripe pickled olives to be shipped without liquid of any kind, thus saving the freight charges and making them easier to handle has been contributed by the University of California. While the raising of avocados is still in its infancy, it promises to become a popular industry in the state. According to the report of the California Avocado association there are approximately 25,000 budded trees in the state planted in orchard form. Of this number probably 15,000 are of what would be considered first class marketable varieties. The better known trees in the vicinity of Los Angeles bear from 400 to as high as 2,000 fruits each, which, when sold at the current prices of 50c to $1.00 each, give a handsome income. Such returns must, however, be considered as exceptional and of little interest to the prospective planter. It should be stated, however, that at the present prices for fruit, an income of $200 per tree would be considered ordinary. There are approximately 35,600 trees in nursery stock of which 20,000 will be planted this year. Under present conditions large plantings of nursery by the pure food regulations has given an impetus to planting new trees. It is estimated that the annual production of olive oil amounts to 1,000,000 gallons and 300,000 cases of packled olives of six gallons to the case.

According to word just received from the state bureau of registration by County Clerk Williams, in regard to returning registration blanks, the clerk is to keep enough to accommodate those registering late. Williams has been instructed to continue registering all late applicants, although those who have willfully neglected to do so on the date fixed are to be reported to the United States attorney or marshal. Armstrong will be kept in custody pending further investigation, concerning his character, as he seems to be a rather peculiar individual. His wife informed the officers that although he works all the time he never seems to have any money, nor does he help to maintain the household. She believes he may be a "dope fiend" as he recently went away with a newly purchased dress suit and street suit. He returned later wearing overalls and without any money, but sober. She told the officers he had been acting in a peculiar manner for some time. Reports from the Coachella Valley Date Growers' association show that the production of dates in California in 1916 was about 65,000 pounds of excellent fruit which found a ready market at the standard price of $1.00 per pound. The Deglet Noor palms often produce from 100 to 150 pounds per tree and the quality of the fruit and its sugar content surpasses the same variety grown in its original home in the oases of the Sahara. In the nine years in which this crop has been grown in the Coachella valley there has never been a crop failure, the fruit ripening to perfection and carrying a sugar content of from 54 to 70 grapes are grown in twenty-two counties of the state. The 1916 production of the leading varieties is estimated by the California Associated Raisin company as follows: Muscats, 85,000 tons; Thompson seedless, 32,000 tons; Sultanas, 8,000; all other varieties, 3,500 tons. Total, 128,500 tons. As prices are slightly higher, the gross value of the state's crop, including packing, is about $15,000,000. Fresno county is the center of the seeded raisin industry, where it originated. As compared with the 1915 vintage, the season of 1916 witnessed a revival of activity that created a hopeful spirit among the wine grape vineyardists. The great reduction of the excessive Federal tax on brandy used in the fortification of sweet wines had the effect of bringing back to California its normal standards in the matter of wine production, and consequently the consumption by the wineries of a great quantity of wine grapes at prices more remunerative than for several years. The state viticultural board estimates that the tonnage of grapes used in wine and brandy making during 1916 was 478,197 tons, and the purchase price paid to vineyardists for these grapes was $7,500,000, or an average price of $15 per ton at the vineyards. In the sweet wine districts the prevailing price was $15 per ton for wine grapes; in dry wine districts $22 to $25 per ton, and in the case of table and raisin grape culls $7.50 to $8.50 per ton. About 23,000,000 gallons of dry wine were produced in 1916. In the well-recognized dry wine districts the yield was far short of normal; but in the 25 Per Cent reduction in Back East Excursion Fares The Santa Fe will sell, for following dates, round trip tickets to— Chicago $80.00 Kansas City 67.50 being ¼ less than ordinary fares.

Call, phone or write J. H. Clabaugh, Agt. Anaheim, Cal. Pac. 217 Home 1751 sweet wine sections the manufacture of dry wine was resorted to in greater degree than ever before. It required 153,000 tons of grapes to produce 23,-000,000 gallons of dry wines. In the first internal revenue district of California, which comprises the sweet wine sections the manufacture of dry wine was resorted to in greater degree than ever before. It required 153,000 tons of grapes to produce 23,000,000 gallons of dry wines. In the first internal revenue district of California, which comprises the counties north of the Tehachapi, the production of sweet wine was 15,184,575 gallons while in the Sixth Internal revenue district, comprising the counties of Southern California, the production was 4,077,897 gallons. The total in the two collection districts of the state was 19,262,475 gallons, and in the manufacture of this amount 240,756 tons of grapes were required. Brandy production presumably for commercial purposes, and not for use in fortification amounted to 2,786,357 proof gallons in the first internal revenue district, and 241,535 proof gallons in the Sixth district, a total of 3,027,892 gallons. It required 84,100 tons of grapes to produce this amount of brandy. The champagne output was about a million bottles, but not over 50,000 gallons of grape juice were produced in California in 1916. The shipment of wine out of California by sea in bulk amounted to 1,663,666 gallons and 2,124 cases. There was a pronounced increase in the shipments of wine to the countries bordering on the Pacific. Hawaii continued to be the best over sea customer, while Japan's orders jumped from 110,317 to 315,800 gallons; China raised her import of California wine from 31,607 to 84,771 gallons. The Philippines doubled their use of California wines and South America did even better. Hong Gonk's supply increased from 3,811 gallons in 1915 to 19,772 gallons in 1916, while Australia which used only 92 gallons in 1915, ordered 3,492 last year. Shipments by sea to New York coased in March, and as a result they fell from 6,854,035 in 1915 to 107,185 gallons last year. This, however, was more than made up by the remarkable shipments by land, which amounted to more than the combined rail shipments of 1914 and 1915. It is estimated that the exports by rail, including the wines in cases, were 24,759,613 against 11,030,771 gallons in 1915 and 12,072,881 in 1914. THE LIBERTY LOAN The loyalty and enthusiasm with which the bankers, brokers, bond houses and business men generally have undertaken the sale of the Liberty Bonds must be very gratifying to the American people. When people experienced in selling securities took up the disposition of the bonds, subscriptions for the same came in rapidly. These bonds should be widely distributed. People of moderate, even small means, should be encouraged to invest in these securities. The wider they are distributed the better it will be for the country. The success which has attended the efforts of the bankers and business men generally to market these bonds should be a lesson to the administration that when it wants something done it should go to experts, and not to theorists, to accomplish results. One reason that the bonds were not more readily subscribed in the beginning was the fact that the general public did not realize the import of the war nor the danger that threatens America. It does not yet sense the seriousness of the situation. If it were fully understood by the masses that, should the Allies be defeated, the contest would be narrowed down to America on the one side and the Central Powers and their allies on the other, our people would respond more freely to the demands of the government. Four years of pacificism by the president and four years of the teachings of Bryan and his followers have produced an effect upon the average American citizen which will take a very severe jolt to eradicate. Should some of our battleships and destroyers be sunk by the enemy, or should a German submarine slip in and shell some of our Atlantic coast cities, there would be a decided quickening of the public pulse. A rush to arms would follow. Money needed for war purposes would be forthcoming. The American people have heretofore responded to every crisis that has arisen. They will undoubtedly do so in this crisis, when the situation is fully driven home to them. Every citizen of the republic blessed with the wherewithal to do so should Shipments by sea to New York ceased in March, and as a result they fell from 6,854,035 in 1915 to 107,185 gallons last year. This, however, was more than made up by the remarkable shipments by land, which amounted to more than the combined rail shipments of 1914 and 1915. It is estimated that the exports by rail, including the wines in cases, were 24,759,613, against 11,030,771 gallons in 1915 and 12,072,281 in 1914. In 1914 considerable California wine was shipped to Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland and South Africa, but the war has temporarily closed this market. England, Scotland, Sweden and Denmark, however, have continued to import California wines and brandles. No other state in the Union and few other countries in the world offer such a variety of fresh orchard and garden products throughout the year as does California. In one or another section of the state, fresh fruits and vegetables of superior quality are to be had in every month of the twelve. The Garden Calendar, by Prof. E. J. Wickson, shows that as far north as Red Bluff, conditions admit of planting for market eight kinds of vegetables in November, five in December, ten in January, eleven in February, fourteen in March, eighteen in April, and every month has something in the list, the smallest being August with four kinds. Complete statistics are not available, there being no accurate data with regard to the amount of fresh vegetables supplied to the home markets. The shipments of fresh vegetables to Eastern markets in 1916 amounted to about 351,265 tons.

Money needed for war purposes would be forthcoming. The American people have heretofore responded to every crisis that has arisen. They will undoubtedly do so in this crisis, when the situation is fully driven home to them. Every citizen of the republic blessed with the wherewithal to do so should invest in the Liberty Bonds. War is not a pleasant pastime. It is exacting as well as pitiless. Before peace for all the nations involved in the struggle is declared we will suffer great losses in blood and treasure. We are in the fight and must meet the situation, be the consequences what they may. The supreme court has denied Josephine Des Granges the right of appeal of judgement rendered by the local court in regard to the ownership of eighty acres of valuable land in Fullerton, as she delayed too long in presenting the case. Judgment therefore goes to the defendants, John C. and Joseph P. Des Granges and Adah P. Crall. The plaintiff's attorneys were E. A. and S. C. Meserve and P. H. McPherrin. Williams and Rutan were employed by the defendants. Another ornamental street light has been badly damaged in a collision with an auto. Mrs. Burnett of Fullerton, ran into a post at the corner of Center and Lemon streets Friday night, damaging her car slightly and breaking the lights. Nobody was injured.
