CONSERVE FOOD AND VICTORY IS OURS WOMEN OF CALIFORNIA PLEDGING THEMSELVES TO ASSIST DEFENSE COUNCIL CIRCULAR TELLS HOW SMALL SACRIFICES WILL BRING LARGE RESULTS In response to Gov. Stephens proclamation announcing to the women of California that the time had arrived for the mobilization of voluntary forces for food conservation the woman's committee of the Councils of National and State Defense, has issued the following letter: "Since food will decide the war, each American woman can do a real, national service by protecting the food supply of the nation. "Ninety per cent of American food consumption passes through the hands of women. In no other field do small things multiplied by our 100,000,000 people count for so much. "A single pound of flour saved weekly by each person will increase our export surplus wheat to 100,000,000 bushels, and an average saving of two cents on each meal every day for each person will save the nation $2,000,000,000 per annum. "The proper assurance of food to our allies will not only encourage them it will maintain them in war. "Without abundant food supply, only MAKE HOME CANNING A SIMPLE PROCESS New Bulletin Just Issued by the Department of Agriculture Gives Valuable Directions for Conserving Fruits Canning fruits and vegetables in the home by the one-period cold pack method is a relatively simple process and can be done with ordinary kitchen equipment and with comparatively little labor. Much of the surplus of the home garden can be saved for winter use. By this canning method, which is fully described by a special bulletin just issued by the United States department of agriculture, farmers' bulletin No. 839, "Home Canning by the One-Period Cold-pack Method." This bulletin is of special interest and value to all housewives, canning clubs, societies or persons interested in conserving the food supply of the nation. It may be had on application to the United States department of agriculture. The bulletin contains very explicit directions for canning practically all of the common garden vegetables, including tomatoes, peppers, sweep peppers, pumpkin, squash, sweet corn, filed corn, beans, peas and root vegetables, also various combinations of vegetables. It also includes canning directions for soft fruits and berries, hard fruits like apples, pears and quinces. Directions for the canning of camp rations, meats and soups, are given in detail. Each step in the canning process by the one-period cold pack method is carefully outlined from the preparation of the equipment and the raw materials to the storing of the canned products. A special time table showing how long fruits, vegetables, soups and meats should be scalded or sterilized is of particular value to the park will be open Tuesday, Thursday nights, and until six nights, without space. OPPOSES TAX LABEL In view of the risk which some schoolsDUCT against the Tax Payers' formia has issued indicating that this law for the protection that has been passed in the past ten years follows: The purpose of 1013 is to place a gance in county effectively does by of taxes that canto an amount tha more than 5 per led the year preciity is shown to authorization—he tax limit law. The great beauty the fact that no n it is arbitrary, ri On the contrary, designed to meet and requirements to needs for more A single pound of flour saved weekly by each person will increase our export surplus wheat to 100,000,000 bushels, and an average saving of two cents on each meal every day for each person will save the nation $2,000,000,000 per annum. "The proper assurance of food to our allies will not only encourage them it will maintain them in war." "Without abundant food supply, only to be secured by individual effort and volunteer sacrifice, the war will be prolonged and thousands of lives, not only of men, but also of women and children will be needlessly lost. Furthermore, this is not alone a war question. The high prices which are bearing so hard upon the poor and the more moderate wage earners in this country, are partially due to the shortage of supplies in the world's markets, and the possible saving in consumption and waste, will lessen the prices to those of our own people who must be our first care. In all the arrangements which we plan to make during the forthcoming year for our allies, we shall first plan that our own people have plenty, provided that they eat wisely and without waste. The groundwork of direction must be national in character, calculated not only to effect national economy, but also to serve the war interests of the country as a whole. After legislation is completed and the food administration is erected, we propose to cooperate with the state governments by centralizing administration as far as possible in their fields through various food committees." These are Mr. Hoover's first directions: First, to save the Wheat—One wheatless meal a day, using cornbread or other cereal, to release the wheat for our allies who do not know how to use corn products. Second, to save the Meat—To buy less and serve in smaller portions. One meatless day a week. Third, to save the Fats—To use no butter in cooking. We consume three times the fats necessary in cooking. Fourth, to save Transportation—by eating home products and so release the freight cars. Fifth, to preach the Gospel of the Clean Plate—to buy less foodstuffs; to skimp the garbage can. DID NOT TAKE THE HOUSE There are enterprisnig burglars in Los Angeles. E. S. Patterson built a nice eight room house at 3529 West Tenth street. He furnished it and advertised it for sale. Two men with an automobile answered the advertisement while his agent was absent. They were rather acquisitive by nature. In fact, the men overlooked nothing that would move. They took furniture, carpets, everything that they could load onto their outo. Included in their loot were two bath tubs, two wash bowls, four sinks, eleven door knobs, four door locks and a door plate. Detectives are at work on the case. Mr. Patterson, according to the police, is desirous of selling the house before some one steals it, too. NON-COMS ARE NAMED BY FULLERTON HOME GUARDS Appointments of non-commissioned officers were made at the last meeting of the Fullerton Home Guards. The men were picked from those who have been attending the non-commissioned officers' school at the high school every Saturday night. The appointments follow: First sergeant, Walter Skillman; quartermaster sergeant, W. J. Renshaw; line sergeants, A. H. Sitton, E. J. Marks, A. S. Redfern, A. E. Stuelke; corporals, H. C. Sampson, Clyde Crandall, Walter McMullen, William Benchley, L. O. Culp, Roy Campbell, F. I. Reese, and H. H. Tracy. MINE WORKERS' STRIKE STOPS BASEBALL CLUBS Billy Porter, formerly with the Fullerton baseball club is back from Preservation to an amount than more than 5 per cent is shown to authorization—the tax limit law. The great beauty the fact that no money is arbitrary, rife On the contrary, designed to meet and requirements to needs for more money as they say statement is made of facts. What is?

The facts that needed, that one proved, and that and unchangeable amount of money may in every if the amount need bitrary standard misdirected cause careful peeider all phases problem before the slightest attempt the state tax course and the go put some degree matter of public. HEAD OF FOR IN Second, to save the Meat—To buy less and serve in smaller portions. One meatless day a week. Third, to save the Fats—To use no butter in cooking. We consume three times the fats necessary in cooking. Fourth, to save Transportation—by eating home products and so release the freight cars. Fifth, to preach the Gospel of the Clean Plate—to buy less foodstuffs; to skimp the garbage can. Sixth, to increase the uses of corn, buckwheat, rice, rye and all vegetables—aside from eating an increased proportion of these commodities in order to save on the staples, it is extremely important that any surplus shall be preserved or well stored for winter use. As the pledges are received at headquarters they will be forwarded to Mr. Hoover. "On receipt of the pledge," says Mr. Hoover, "we will send out preliminary instructions and a household tag to be hung in the window. The insignia of the food administration will consist of the national shield, surrounded by heads of wheat, and we hope to have the shield displayed in every home in the United States." Every effort will be made to extend knowledge in gardening, domestic economy, conservation and utilization of food. As rapidly as plans are formulated, women will be informed how they can best serve national interests in food conservation. The pledge which will be presented to the women of California reads: "I am glad to join in the exercise of food conservation for our nation, and I hereby accept membership in the United States Food Administration, pledging myself to carry out the directions and advice of the Food Administration in the direction of my household."

ORANGE PRICES The following were the highest prices obtained in New York on Thursday for Valencia oranges: Old Mission $4.95 Anaheim Supreme $4.55 Glendora Heights $4.50 These brands lead the world in orange prices at every sale. The Anaheim Supreme brand is packed by the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association, located on the Southern Pacific tracks in this city. OPPOSES TAX LAW REFERENDUM In view of the referendum campaign which some school officials are conducting against the new tax limit law, the Tax Payers' association of California has issued a statement declaring that this law is the best measure for the protection of the taxpayers that has been passed by the legislature in the past ten years. The statement follows: The purpose of assembly bill No. 1013 is to place a check upon extravagance in county affairs, which it effectively does by limiting the amount of taxes that can be levied in any year to an amount that will not exceed by more than 5 per cent the amount levied the year previous, unless necessity is shown to the state board of authorization—hence the name, the tax limit law. The great beauty of the law lies in the fact that no new limit imposed by it is arbitrary, rigid or unchangeable. On the contrary, the law is expressly designed to meet changing conditions and requirements which may give rise to needs for more tax revenues. Signed when it is landed in France. While organized on military lines, the work of the regiment will be industrial, not combatant. It will opera'e in the woods behind the armies, getting out timbers, ties and lumber required for military purposes. STATE HORTICULTURAL COMMISSIONER'S LAW The act relating to the state commissioner of horticulture provides for a commissioner to be appointed by the governor, and defines his duties which are, in brief, to promote and protect the plant industry of the state. He is charged with the enforcement of the horticultural statutes which are enacted for the purpose of preventing the introduction and spread of injurious insect or animal pests, plant diseases and noxious weeds, and with the introduction and distribution of such parasitic and predacious insects as are useful in reducing the cost of crop production. He must require reports from the county horticultural commissioners and must distribute to them and to such other persons as he may deem proper, such printed information as he considers adapted to the advancement of the horticultural industry of California. He is authorized to establish quarantines, with the approval of the governor, at or within the boundaries of the state for the protection of the horticultural industry against the introduction of pests. He is given exclusive authority to establish horticultural quarantines within the boundaries of the state, this provision abolishes the old system of quarantine by county ordinances. In case of the discovery of any infectious plant diseases, insect, animal or weed pest within the state dangerous to the horticultural industry, or upon information that there is a probability of the introduction of such, he calendar years show an astonishing increase in our exports to the four approaches to Germany since the war began, rising from $163,000,000 in value in 1913 to $348,000,000 in 1915, and receding to $285,000,000 last year, a total all too great now that we have joined in the war against the nations which apparently are benefiting largely thereby. Raw cotton and foodstuffs take front rank in the list of articles bought from us, the former beng indispensable in the manufacture of explosives. Of course acting as middlemen for the sale of American goods to Germany is a thrifty proceeding, and one which was highly admired by our cotton growers so long as we were neutral, but the time has come to lend a hand to England to enforce the blockade of the Huns, and the bill before Congress is a step in that direction. There is beauty, convenience and economy in an Eclipse Cabinet Gas range. New line of stoves at the Gas Office. Some sportsmen are blaming the fish and game commission for the dererring of quail shooting until November 15 and protracting the season into the usually rainy month of January. The state board, however, recommended that no change be made in the quail laws, particularly in the South. Very drastic bills to protect quail with a ten birds per week limit, considered an utterly unenforceable measure, were offered, and probably the deferring of the season came the way most laws are gotten—by compromise. Few persons realize that the fish and game commission has to ask what it wishes and take what is given, just like those it represents. Therefore game laws do not always come out just as desired. to an amount that will not exceed by more than 5 per cent the amount levied the year previous, unless necessity is shown to the state board of authorization—hence the name, the tax limit law. The great beauty of the law lies in the fact that no new limit imposed by it is arbitrary, rigid or unchangeable. On the contrary, the law is expressly designed to meet changing conditions and requirements which may give rise to needs for more tax revenues. The school officials of Los Angeles county object to the law on the ground that it may not give them as much money as they say they need. This statement is made without the citation of facts. What are the facts? In the year 1916-17 all school levies in Los Angeles county produced, within the meaning of the new law, $7,843,172.90. After making allowance for all county purposes as distinguished from school purposes, computation shows that for the year 1917-18 (without exceeding the 5% limit) there may be levied for schools a total of $8,214,328, or $371,155 more than all school levies for last year. If the school officials need more than this, what possible objection can they have in showing the necessity to the board of authorization? The new law places no limit upon the amount in excess of the 5% limit that may be produced by tax levies when a necessity can be shown. There is nothing in the law which will prevent the schools of Los Angeles county or any county, from obtaining all the money they really need. The facts that a proper limit law is needed, that one was passed and approved, and that it contains no rigid and unchangeable limits but that the amount of money to be raised under it may in every instance depend upon the amount needed, and not upon arbitrary standards, mere wilfulness or misdirected sentimentality, should cause careful people to pause and consider all phases of California's tax problem before they undo without the slightest attempt at a fair trial what the state tax commission, the legislature and the governor have done to put some degree of sanity into the matter of public expenditures. HEAD OF FOREST SERVICE NOW IN FRANCE Announcement of the arrival of protection of the horticultural industry against the introduction of pests. He is given exclusive authority to establish horticultural quarantines within the boundaries of the state, this provision abolishes the old system of quarantine by county ordinances. In case of the discovery of any infectious plant diseases, insect, animal or weed pest within the state dangerous to the horticultural industry, or upon information that there is a probability of the introduction of such, he is authorized to investigate the same and to issue such regulations as may be necessary to circumscribe, exterminate, eradicate or control the same. He must notify the quarantine guardian or horticultural commissioner in the county where such pest or disease is discovered, as to specific method of treatment in each case, and such recommendations must be made a part of the notice served by the county horticultural commissioner on the person owning or having charge of the infested or infected property. The statute requires every nurseryman, person, firm or organization who deals in nurserystock, trees, plants, shrubs or vines for planting or propagating purposes within the state to register with the commissioner and to pay a fee of one dollar for such registration for the period of one year. The state commissioner of horticulture must issue to each applicant a special license number and all shipments by such licensee shall have this number affixed to each package of nurserystock, etc. Agents or salesmen acting for a nursery organization are required to use the license number issued to the nursery or organization by which they are employed. Any nurseryman or organization outside of the state, wishing to ship nurserystock, etc., into the state, must apply to the state commissioner of horticulture for a permit, filing with his application a statement of location of his place of business and an official certificate of inspection of his premises signed by his state inspector. These permits shall have a special number which shall be placed upon each package shipped into California. No charge shall be made for these permits. The state commissioner of horticulture may refuse such permit, if in his judgment to issue same would endanger the horticultural interests of the state. Wilful refusal to comply with orders lawfully made under this act shall be deemed a misdemeanor and the quail laws, particularly in the South. Very drastic bills to protect quail with a ten birds per week limit, considered an utterly unenforceable measure, were offered, and probably the deferring of the season came the way most laws are gotten—by compromise. Few persons realize that the fish and game commission has to ask what it wishes and take what is given, just like those it represents. Therefore game laws do not always come out just as desired. The new laws contain some material improvements, and, on the whole, they represent an advance toward intelligent regulation. Sportsmen enjoy greater privileges in fishing than heretofore. The game seasons give about the same time for hunting. Shooters of California at least can rejoice that their quail was not classed as a "song bird" as in Ohio and placed under the closed season for ten years.

GIBBS LUMBER Phone Pacific 201—Home 2664. HEAD OF FOREST SERVICE NOW IN FRANCE Announcement of the arrival of Henry S. Graves, chief of the U.S. Forest Service, in Paris has led the department of agriculture to explain that Mr. Graves has gone abroad to make arrangements for the forest work which the American army engineers will undertake in France in connection with military operations of the allied forces. Because of the opportunity for service of this country in woods work incidental to the war which the request of the British government for the sending of a forest regiment was believed to present, Mr. Graves has been granted leave of absence from his position as head of the service and has received a commission as major in the Reserve Engineer Corps. He has not been assigned to any command, but is acting under instructions, it is stated, to proceed to France in order to learn on the ground in advance just what conditions will need to be met, what equipment will be called for, and how extensively the services of American lumbermen can be utilized to advantage. Meanwhile the recruiting of the regiment which has already been asked for is being pushed by the Forest Service and is said to be advancing rapidly. One of the staff officers is with Mr. Graves for the purpose of arranging for its prompt assumption of the specific duties to which it will be as- EXPORTS TO GERMAN GATEWAYS Recent ascertainment of the fact that both Denmark and Sweden discontinued publishing export statistics as soon as the war broke out casts suspicion on the claims of those governments that the huge increases of their purchases from the United States have been due to their inability to buy from Germany. Prior to our declaration of war on Germany, Secretary of Commerce Redfield was trying to convince us that our increased sales to the four German gateways were attributable to the phenomenal activities of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. Since that declaration, however, Mr. Redfield has come out in favor of a bill empowering the president to limit or prohibit the exportation of articles from the United States, a bill which has been introduced in Congress. A resolution was introduced calling on the secretary of commerce to give data as to the volume of American products passed on to the Central powers by neutral countries, but apparently no information is forthcoming from Sweden and Denmark. Our own figures for the past four RED CROWN GASOLINE Easy Starting Low boiling points do it—the first links in a continuous chain of boiling points. 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. And that's also why the gravity test for gasoline is worthless—gravity tells nothing at all about boiling points, the only real test of gasoline quality.
