With half the world crying for food, there can be no such thing as overproduction, yet farmers in the San Joaquin valley cannot market their crop of onions, held at almost prohibitive prices only a few weeks ago in the markets of the country. We get this information via the Santa Cruz News: "The onion growers of the San Joaquin valley have reported to Governor Stephens their inability to market their onions except at a loss. They say they are being offered 50 and 60 cents per sack of 100 pounds by the middlemen, yet local grocers say that the wholesale price of onions to them is five cents a pound. That is to say, the jobber who is today offering the producers 50 cents to 60 cents per 100 pounds is selling them to the grocers at $5 or $6 per 100 pounds. The grocer must add at least a cent a pound to make a profit, so the consumer is paying at the rate of $6 or $7 per 100 pounds for onions which the jobber is buying from the farmer for 50 cents or 60 cents per 100 pounds." We are not advised as to all the provisions of the food control law now being debated in the senate at Washington, but no power given to the pres- mona will work early and late during the coming season. The apricot and peach crop in that district will be heavy, and it is thought fruit will run to large sizes. At Banning and Beaumont a big pack is expected, as crops in that section are heavy. It looks as though crops are not going a begging for buyers this fall. OLD VETS PREPARE FOR ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT Will Tent on Camp Ground at Huntington Beach August 7 to 17 With Camp Frank Hobart, the thirtieth annual encampment of the Southern California Veteran association, scheduled to open August 7 and continue to August 17, veterans from all over the Southland and including many from Orange county, are beginning to lay their plans so as to attend the annual outing. Last year 220 tents were occupied by the veterans and their relatives, and it is estimated that this year the camp will be fully as large. Already reservations are pouring in, and fully fifty tents have been reserved for this year's camp. The program, just issued, sets Tuesday, August 14, as the Great Bean Day, when hundreds of empty "stummicks" will be filled. It is announced the camp will be under petticoat government on that day, with "Pay Night" in the evening. In relation to the camp, the following general orders *No. 2 has been issued by Commander D. W. Hasson of Buena Park. The council of administration has located the thirtieth annual encampment at Huntington Beach, commencing Tuesday, August 7, and ending August 17, 1917. All honorably discharged soldiers, sailors and marines of the war of neries, the result of a run of sardines, accounts from the off-fish and game committee with a pack of 30,000 tuna industry took to Southland but this year been entirely eclipse sardine. The fish and game clares that this is a time for a run of sardines food question a big country and adds that sardine is a cheaper article of food an French or Norwegian A LESSON FRO "Business in Canada They recovered from feeling two and a half There is work for wages. There is more population than ever spent freely." This encouraging tensions in Canada is to change. It merely says that while war is ceaseless been so from the beckoning da. Now after nearly years of war the condition changed. American business this statement a pr American business, went will, of course, be soon They are now being expeditiously, perhaps almost unconsciously fabric of business is remain so. With the allied natu our products and pro policy of the govern means of doing so. 100 pounds is selling them to the grocers at $5 or $6 per 100 pounds. The grocer must add at least a cent a pound to make a profit, so the consumer is paying at the rate of $6 or $7 per 100 pounds for onions which the jobber is buying from the farmer for 50 cents or 60 cents per 100 pounds." We are not advised as to all the provisions of the food control law now being debated in the senate at Washington, but no power given to the president will give us pause, if it can be used to prevent such situations as that described by the Santa Cruz paper. The government at Washington has urged that every idle acre be made productive and inferentially promised that if the land does produce, the farmer will be paid a fair price for his product, and at the same time that the consumer will be protected against extortion. The time has come when the middle man, who is responsible for the enormous difference between the price paid the producer and that asked of the consumer must be taken by the scruff of the neck and the slack of the trousers and slammed through the back door into the scrap heap. Bring along the food control law, and while we have great respect for the erudite sehator from Massachusetts, Henry Cabot Lodge, there may be worse things than too much power in the hands of the president. Also, we do not lose sight of the fact that the same congress which gives the power can withdraw it, if occasion offers. ELIMINATE THE SPECULATOR Farmers throughout California are being urged by the state council of defense to adopt the same policy toward food speculators that has been taken by the Bowman Center Farm Bureau, composed of Placer county farmers. In addition to launching a move for the elimination of speculators and excess middlemen in the handling of their crops between the time they leave the farmer and are bought by the consumer, the Placer county farmers adopted a resolution which in part is as follows: "Whereas farmers are being forced to pay exhorbitant prices for seed, in some cases from 100% to 1000% in advance of former costs, and "Whereas the necessities of living government on that day, with Pay Night" in the evening. In relation to the camp, the following general orders *No. 2 has been issued by Commander D. W. Hasson of Buena Park. The council of administration has located the thirtieth annual encampment at Huntington Beach, commencing Tuesday, August 7, and ending August 17, 1917. All honorably discharged soldiers, sailors and marines of the war of the Rebellion, Spanish war, Mexican war, or of the regular army, their sons and grandsons, are eligible to membership, and are invited to enroll their names on our camp registers. Members of the Woman's Relief Corps, Ladies of the G. A. R., wives of veterans and Sons of Veterans, also Daughters of Veterans, and all affiliated orders are invited to become members of our woman's auxiliary organization. While the veterans and their families are to have an outing of ten days on the beach at Camp Frank Hobart, friends of the veterans and their families are cordially invited to join us, and with us enjoy the pleasures of outdoor life and the delightful entertainments each evening in the large auditorium free to all. The Tent City accommodations are fine; tents are floored and well furnished; electric lights and best of water. The sanitary conditions are perfect. Come with us, the sea breeze and the recreation of camp life will do you good. Would suggest you bring a pair of blankets. The officers of the association at present are: Commander—Dr. D. W. Hasson, Buena Park. Senior vice commander—Tom Hull, Los Angeles. Junior vice commander—G. W. Burlingame, Pasadena. Quartermaster—A. B. Paul, Santa Ana. Adjutant—A. B. Markle, Anaheim. Chaplain—Rev.

Since September 31stident has by executive drawn 937,337 acres lands in the states of tana, Utah and Colorado drawings are in addition reds of thousands of withdrawn in California and with few exceptions and kept from development. There are two new serves established by one of 45,440 acres one of 86,584 in Utah 709,855 acres of these in Montana, the bay Wyoming. The Monies apparently cover most where prospecting has for the past two years. The withdrawal from oil shale lands of Co came soon after an act that a co-organized by capital development. The shale oil is expected purpose, but it is rare to product than oil f only in a time of high ticable to develop this. During the same period withdrawals cover, sued five restoration throwing open to end of which 4695 acres and the balance in Wyoming. All this restored examined by the Unlogical survey and de perts to be of no va In addition to launching a move for the elimination of speculators and excess middlemen in the handling of their crops between the time they leave the farmer and are bought by the consumer, the Placer county farmers adopted a resolution which in part is as follows: "Whereas farmers are being forced to pay exhorbitant prices for seed, in some cases from 100% to 1000% in advance of former costs, and "Whereas the necessities of living are raising beyond the reach of people of ordinary means: "We do earnestly urge that the government of the United States take immediate steps to exterminate the vicious and parasitic speculator and gambler in food stuffs." The state council of defense has already called upon the state marketing commission to utilize all machinery at its command for bringing purchasers and consumers into closer touch, for the purpose of reducing prices. CANNERIES TO RUN FULL BLAST Every cannery in Southern California will be operated this season. Cannery men are still contracting fruit and vegetables wherever they can be had. Some canneries that have not been opened for several years will be operated this season. The big cannery at Colton that has heretofore been idle, owned by Arthur Gregory of Redlands, will resume. It has contracted for all the peaches and apricots it can get in the upper end of the San Bernardino valley. It will also can tomatoes. J. C. Kubias, who owns a big olive factory at Redlands will can tomatoes this season. He has given farmers nearly 1,000,000 tomato plants to insure his supply. The Yuccalpa cannery will double its capacity. The big canneries at Ontario and Po- Adjutant—A. B. Markle, Anazheim. Chaplain—Rev. C. R. Norton, Glendale. Surgeon—Dr. D. W. Hasson, Buena Park.

RIFLES IN AUGUST Home guard companies need not expect to get any government arms until about the middle of August, Adjutant General J. J. Borree announces in reply to inquiries from county defense councils relative to arming home guard companies. "Members of home guard companies are becoming discouraged because they are compelled to drill without rifles, although Congress recently passed a bill authorizing the arming of home guard companies," said General Borree. Borree explains there has been a tremendous demand on the ordinance of the regular army and national guard. He says the arsenals are working under a terrible pressure trying to supply the demand, and adds that 2,000 members of the national guard are drilling without arms and equipment. THE SARDINE CROP Up to June 15th 60,000,000 pounds of California sardines had been packed by the Southern California can- Anaheim Gazette neries, the result of an unprecedented run of sardines, according to announcements from the offices of the state fish and game commission. Last year with a pack of 30,000,000 pounds the tuna industry took the lead in the Southland but this year the tuna has been entirely eclipsed by the lowly sardine. The fish and game commission declares that this is a most opportune time for a run of sardines, with the food question a big one all over the country and adds that the California sardine is a cheaper and just as tasty an article of food as his aristocratic French or Norwegian brother. A LESSON FROM CANADA "Business in Canada is flourishing. They recovered from that panicky feeling two and a half years ago. There is work for every one at high wages. There is more money in circulation than ever, and it is being spent freely." This encouraging report of conditions in Canada is taken from an exchange. It merely shows once more that while war is certainly bad, business may be extremely good. It has been so from the beginning in Canada. Now after nearly three whole years of war the condition remains unchanged. American business men may see in this statement a prophecy of what American business, with wise management, will be during the war. There will, of course, be some readjustments. They are now being made, silently, expeditiously, perhaps in some cases almost unconsciously. But the great fabric of business is sound and will remain so. With the allied nations eager to buy our products and provided by the wise policy of the government with the means of doing so, with a market quantity 404,009 tons, valued at $3,158.603, consisted of road oils and fluxing material, and 284,325 tons, valued at $3,020,248 consisted of solid or semi-solid products utilized for paving. California led all other states in the production of manufactured asphalt its output from sixteen refineries in 1916 amounting to 257,946 short tons, valued at $1,958,946, and consisting of 108,228 tons of road oils and fluxes, valued at $633,579 and 149,702 tons of paving residuals, valuedaat$1,325.367. The total sales in 1916 of manufactured asphalt derived from Mexican petroleum amounted to 572,387 short tons, valued at $6,018,851. Of the quantity sold, 259,682 tons, valued at $2,486,938, consisted of road oils and fluxes, and 276,705 tons, valued at $3,531,913, consisted of residuals utilized for paving. HOW VIOLA DANA WON FAME AS A STAR Careful Study Triumphed for the Original "Poor Little Rich Girl" FUN AT SEAL BEACH The grand finale of Liberty Week celebration at Seal Beach will come Sunday, July 8, marking the most successful period enjoyed by this popular resort. There were more people, more automobiles and the most successful program to feature the week. The engagement of Kolb and Dill was a unique feature of the Fourth of July program. Next Sunday there will be band concerts, fireworks, balloon ascension and parachute drop, evening bathing under the rays of the giant scintillators, dancing and other features. The close of the public schools has caused an exodus to Seal Beach, and the best play experienced with the Edison company preceded the signing of Miss Anaheim Gazette. GREAT ACTIVITY IN OIL DEVELOPMENT Government Withdrawals Will Probably be Worked Since September 30, 1916, the president has by executive order withdrawn 937,337 acres of prospective oil lands in the states of Wyoming, Montana, Utah and Colorado. These withdrawals are in addition to the hundreds of thousands of acres previously withdrawn in California and Wyoming, and with few exceptions still tied up and kept from development. There are two naval shale oil reserves established by these orders, one of 45,440 acres in Colorado, and one of 86,584 in Utah. There are 709,855 acres of the withdrawn land in Montana, the balance being in Wyoming. The Montana withdrawals apparently cover most of the territory where prospecting has been going on for the past two years. The withdrawal from entry of the oil shale lands of Colorado and Utah came soon after an announcement in the press that a company had been organized by capitalists for their development. The shale oil is excellent for every purpose, but it is rather more costly to product than oil from wells, hence only in a time of high prices is it practicable to develop the fields. During the same period that these withdrawals cover, the president issued five restoration orders, again throwing open to entry 67,345 acres, of which 4695 acres are in California, and the balance in Wyoming and Montana. All this restored land has been examined by the United States geological survey and declared by its experts to be of no value for the pro- HOW TO INCREASE OIL PRODUCTION Tieing up the richest oil fields in California and other western states in federal litigation is proving a national menace. Consumption of crude oil is now estimated at 60,000 barrels a day above production, the Southern Pacific company alone using 45,000 barrels a day. This is from 9000 to 12,000 barrels a day more than it is able to buy or produce and it has the money to get oil with. The problem before the nation is not how to save oil for future generations but to get enough to carry the country over the war. With less than a year’s supply of crude oil in sight, we are rapidly nearing the time when merchant and naval vessels cannot get any oil. Abundance of capital and private enterprises are waiting to develop the oil fields that are held up from being opened to produce oil. Politicians and faddists are restricting oil production for a navy that is to be built by 1921 to 1923. Injustice at the hands of the department of justice is what oil land locators and operators are getting in the west. No war measure could be more effective than opening all of oil land readily available for a drill prospect and let the supplies flow. Railroads, manufacturers and power companies are paying millions for high-priced restricted oil products they need badly, while auto owners have been for more than a year feeling the effects of the high cost of gasoline, which follows the price of oil. ASPHALT INDUSTRY PROSPEROUS Statistics just completed indicate she has had a different sort of character, and her ability grows with the delineation of each, since this little star has built her success on increasingly good work. Among her Metro productions already seen are “The Mortal Sin,” “Threads of Fate,” “The Light of Happiness,” “The Gates of Eden” and “The Flower of No Man’s Land.” A long experience with the Edison company preceded the signing of Miss Dana’s contract with Metro. Her first picture was called “Molly, the Drummer Boy,” and she became an instantaneous success in the screen world. Among her best known earlier pictures were “The Innocence of Ruth,” “Gladiola,” “The Slavey Student” and “The Stoning.” It was in the title role of “The Poor Little Rich Girl” that Miss Dana made her greatest success on the speaking stage. And it was the author of this play, Miss Eleanor Gates, who gave the star her stage name. Formerly she had been called by her family name of Flugrath. Miss Dana played the “Poor Little Rich Girl” for three years on Broadway. Before that she was with Dustin Farnum in “The Littlest Rebel,” with Thomas Jefferson in a revival of his father’s great success “Rip Van Winkle,” in Isben’s “When We Dead Awake,” and other productions. County exemption boards met Tuesday and elected officers as follows: No. 1: Chairman, G. W. Minter; clerk, S. W. Nau; physician, D. F. Royer. No. 2: Chairman, C. C. Chapman; clerk, Richard Melrose; physician, George Clark. Board No. 1 will meet in the court house, and No. 2 will meet in the office of Attorney Marx at Fullerton. The boards have no definite instructions, but will prepare cards for the work which is to follow. Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Keen, recently sent to the county hospital because seriously ill from the use of cococaine and morphine, were released on their honor. They have promised to leave the drugs alone. Keen is to appear in court on July 6 when his case will be further disposed of. He was arrested about two weeks ago for disturbance of the peace in a rooming house at Santa Ana when under the influence of the drug. Mrs. Keen may be sent to her former home in England, if her health will permit. Dr. Doman of the county hospital reports that During the same period that these withdrawals cover, the president issued five restoration orders, again throwing open to entry 67,345 acres, of which 4695 acres are in California, and the balance in Wyoming and Montana. All this restored land has been examined by the United States geological survey and declared by its experts to be of no value for the production of oil. Notwithstanding the handicap placed upon the work of development by the course of the government and the further handicap imposed by inability to get supplies promptly and at a reasonable cost, the production of the Wyoming-Montana region is expected to be doubled during 1917, as compared with 1916. The development is being pushed on patented lands, those of individuals and the school lands of the state. Such is the demand for the oil that a number of big competitive buyers have entered the field, including the Standard of Indiana, the Continental Oil company of Colorado and the Imperial Oil company of Canada, all former subsidiaries of the Standard of New Jersey. The Imperial is the last of these to enter the field and its operations have attracted widespread attention. The oil is exported in tank cars to Canada through the customs district of Dakota and it goes to the company's refineries at Regina and Vancouver. At the latter plant it is used in conjunction with the company's own production of light oil from Peru, the supply of which is insufficient for the needs and moreover can be brought to Vancouver only with difficulty at present, because the company's ships have been requisitioned for European war service. Railroads, manufacturers and power companies are paying millions for high-priced restricted oil products they need badly, while auto owners have been for more than a year feeling the effects of the high cost of gasoline, which follows the price of oil. ASPHALT INDUSTRY PROSPEROUS Statistics just completed indicate that the year 1916 was one of prosperity for the asphalt industry in the United States. The quantity of natural asphalt, including bituminous rock, grahamite, gilsonite, purtzillite, and the natural paraffin, ozokerite, produced and sold at the mines and quarries in the United States in 1916 was 98,477 short tons, valued at $938,281, a gain of 22,726 tons, or 30 per cent, in quantity, and of $396,791, or 75 per cent, in market value, compared with 1915. All branches of the industry shared in the general prosperity, and the gains in output included, except for grahamite; each of the principal varieties of natural asphaltic material produced in the country. Ozokerite from domestic sources reappeared in the statistics of production for the first time since 1907. The quantity of manufactured asphalt produced in 1916 from crude petroleum of domestic origin increased only 3½ per cent as compared with that produced in 1915, and the quantity of similar material manufactured in this country from Mexican petroleum increased 47 per cent, as a consequence of which the net gain over production in 1915 was nearly 20 per cent. The total sales in 1916 of manufactured asphalt derived from domestic petroleum amounted to 688,334 short tons, valued at $6,178,851. Of this An English inventor has patented a process for so treating the edges of paper money that when placed in a phonograph of his invention, they produce words attesting to their genuineness. Experiments have been successfully made on a small scale in Scotland, with electrical overhead discharges as affecting the growth of crops. What is said to be the largest private telephone exchange in the world, equal to the requirements of a progressive city of 20,000 population, will be installed in a new hotel in New York City. The Finch drug store at Fullerton was entered Sunday night by some dope flend and the whole stock of morphine, opium, cocaine and codeine with some hypo syringes and needles cleaned up. The total loss will exceed $75. No money was touched but the thief left a very good clew on which officers are working. MINISTER RETIRES The resignation of Rev.

Kogler is the oldest Lutheran minister on the Pacific Coast and one of the oldest in the entire Lutheran ministry. He was ordained in 1874 and came to the Orange pastorate in 1881. Under his guidance the church has been built up from a houseless flock of small proportions to one of the most flourishing congregations in California. When Rev. Kogler first came there was no church building. The congregation consisting of thirteen voting members, five of whom now remain, and of about 75 people. He was installed as pastor, the ceremonies being held in the old Presbyterian church. Services then were held in private homes. The congregation now consists of 178 voting members and 885 complete membership. It boasts of a $40,000 church edifice. SANTA ANA'S MARKET A report from City Market Manager Balderson at the Tuesday night council meeting resulted in a discussion concerning the advisability of continuing the market, for the proceeds so far have been only $37.50, and, according to Councilman McPhee, it is not fair to aske Balderson to devote his time to this work when the returns are so small and when so few are benefitted. There have only been seven to sixteen vendors each time. One vendor was present, however, and testified that he had been greatly benefitted by the market, had sold out everything each time, and felt sure that as soon as the truck gardens recovered from the last hot spell the venders would come back again. Mr. Balderson advised that the market be kept open only on Saturday for a time, asserted he was very interested in the work, and felt sure of its ultimate success. It was decided to continue the market, and the council gave Balderson power to keep it open as many days a week as he saw fit. Portifirio Linnott, born at San Gabriel Mission, thirty years ago next October, was arrested as a slacker by Deputy Sheriff Cravath and was required to register. Portifirio came to Olive to work on the Bixby ranch a few days before June 5, and the fact that he was not registered was reported a day or two ago. The authorities were instructed by the Los Angeles federal authorities to release him after registering him. V. W. LaMont, wife and son are at home again after an automobile trip of three months' duration which took them as far east as New York City. Mrs. LaMont and Victor, junior, deserted the old man at Los Vegas owing to the desert heat and bad roads, and finished the trip by rail, arriving here Monday evening. Vic stuck to the car and reached Anaheim yesterday. In the long trip they were delayed occasionally by weather and struck some muddy roads, but experienced no mishaps of consequence. Miss Hannah Horwitz was visiting with friends at Bay Island the latter part of the week.
