CATHOLICS ARE ALWAYS LOYAL TO FLAG
SPEAKER AT THURSDAY LUNCH-EON TELLS HOW IT HAS STOOD BEHIND GOVERNMENT
WEEKLY MEETINGS POSTPONED UNTIL THE SUMMER VACATIONS ARE ENDED
By a unanimous vote the business men of Anaheim who have been assembling at the Thursday lunchcones decided to postpone further meetings until the first Thursday in September. This action was taken because of the summer weather now prevailing, and because, also, that many of the men who attend regularly will be absent on vacations.
The speaker Thursday was a priest of the Catholic church, Rev. J. W. Printon of Fresno. His subject was "Patriotism," and the object of the address was to show that the members of the Catholic church, although a large percentage of them are foreign born, have been loyal to the government always, and have fought for the Star Spangled Banner whenever it was threatened: He said:
To be part of a gathering such as we have here today is an inspiring thing to each of us. To have the honor and dignity of addressing such a gathering is an inspiring thing to me, for the responsibility of giving expression to our sentiments in these tremendous times, is a grave and great one.
Pacific, the Cross of Christ in one hand and the banner of civilization in the other. With Verendye it first scales the Rocky Mountains, with Menedez it founds St. Augustine, and with Onate starts old Santa Fe upon its way. It draws the first map of the great lakes and writes the first description of Niagara Falls. With Father Mare it finds our mines of turquoise, and with Father Hennipin locates our miens of coal; with a Franciscan it finds the salt springs of Onondaga, and with the Jesuits discovers the oil wells of Lake Erie, the copper of Lake Superior, the lead of Illinois and with Junipero Serra the luscious fruits and golden harvests of our own dear California.
"God and Country" was the pillar of cloud by day, the pillar of fire by night of the early Catholics of this country; and "God and Country, Faith and Flag" is the precept and the law of the Catholics of today.
And to this heritage of patriotism we Catholics are true.
We believe that we can live for no better purpose, we can die for no better purpose "than the ashes of our fathers and the altars of our God." We believe that this country has been a haven of liberty, a bulwark of protection, a treasury of opportunity to our fathers and and to us, and believing that such it will continue to be to our children and children's children, we repeat as religiously as we repeat our prayers the patriotic sentiment of these poetic lines:
"Great God, we thank Thee for this home,
This beautiful birthland of the free Where strangers from afar may come And breathe the air of liberty.
"Long may her flowers untrampled spring,
Her harvests wave, her cities rise,
And yet till time shall fold her wing,
Remain earth's loveliest paradise."
And from these sentiments and these tenents we assert that we believe that the Declaration of Independence is the greatest political exposition of a freedman's rights ever penned by the hand of man, that the Constitution of these United States is the most luminous chart by which a nation ever steered a ship of state, that the Star Spangled Banner, with all that it embodies and all that it sobolic officer said:

To be part of a gathering such as we have here today is an inspiring thing to each of us. To have the honor and dignity of addressing such a gathering is an inspiring thing to me, for the responsibility of giving expression to our sentiments in these tremendous times, is a grave and great one.
The subject I have chosen is one that needs little commendation to enable it to set astir every fibre of our American hearts. Today we are asked to pour out the blood of our youth, to render up with two-handed generosity the blessings of peace, to part with hard-won savings, to retrench honest luxuries, to face frugal living or even the pinch of want. And the complete and final motive for which we are asked to sacrifice, to suffer and even to die is loyalty to our government. This unstinted loyalty must be the badge of every citizen of our fair land, regardless of blood or creed. Sinister remarks have been cast abroad by ungenerous individuals to the effect that a Catholic was supposed to be the servile son of a religious despot. But the larger issues of today must distract such narrow prejudice, and it will take a war to weld a better and bigger Americanism and to create true American brotherhood. Men will meet each other as citizens and not as religionists, and it will not be questioned at what altar a man prays. It will only matter does he love and serve his country.
Those who differ from us in religious persuasion no longer in the light of fairness question the Catholic's patriotism. They know that pens held in Catholic hands signed the Declaration of Independence, sailed the ships of war and built the Ship of State. They supported this government in peace and defended it in war; that they went in full regiments as Americans to drive back Catholic Mexicans, their fellow religionists; that they marched from North and South to fight for their American principles, and had with them their priests, not to accept their commands and dictations, but to accept their blessings and their absolutions while their Catholic-American heart's blood fertilized the fields of the Rebellion. And more, they know that men who acknowledge the spiritual supremacy of the Bishop of Rome sank into the seas and fell on Cuban and Philippine battlefields to avenge their country's honor, though they knew that their bullets sped death into the breasts of Catholic Spaniards.
Do I in this thought sound narrow? Do I, because their beliefs are mine, seem to show greater veneration than I show their Protestant compatriots? Do not misunderstand me. I honor them only in that they did their duty as Americans. It was their country,
Her harvests wave, her cities rise, And yet till time shall fold her wing, Remain earth's loveliest paradise."
And from these sentiments and these tenents we assert that we believe that the Declaration of Independence is the greatest political exposition of a freedman's rights ever penned by the hand of man, that the Constitution of these United States is the most luminous chart by which a nation ever steered a ship of state, that the Star Spangled Banner, with all that it symbolizes and all that it actualizes, is the most glorious flag in the history of mankind.
And, gentlemen, our patriotism is no mere lip service. It is practical as well as ideal, industrial as well as militaristic, physical as well as vocal. It calls upon man, woman and child alike. It finds illustration in a boy digging potatoes in a New england garden in Civil War times. When asked by a stranger what his family was doing for the country's cause the boy replied, "Well, father is fighting and I am digging and mother is praying."
"Fighting, digging and praying" that is the stuff real patriotism is made of.
Four hundred and twenty five years ago Christopher Columbus, with a mantle of Catholicity on his shoulders and the Cross of Catholicity in his hands, fell on his knees and chanted a Te Deum for the discovery of this land.
That Te Deum of Christopher Columbus inaugurated a new chapter in the annals of mankind and foretold a form of government where the voice of the people is the voice of God. That Te Deum heralded a land where kings would pass a way and manhood wear the crown; a land where the oppressed of the world would find peace and prosperity under the flag of opportunity and hope. That Te Deum foretold a land where the ballot is mightier than the bullet, where lips and hands are unfettered, where brains are the master of destiny, where labor wears a royal coat of arms, where men reap what they sow, where the weak find protection and the strong bow to a rule of law. That Te Deum gave an impetus to human liberty, religious freedom and individual rights whichrewrote the law books of the world,hurled autocracy in the abyss of decay and placed justice on the throne once occupied by kingly whims.
The discovery of America, gentlemen, was the most momentous contribution to the cause of democracy since the advent of Christ. Christ preached the message of democracy on the Mount, and to it America gave political application. And for the discovery of this new world, where democracy could grow and spread around the globe, a Catholic Monk gave his eloquence, a Catholic king gave his treasure, a Catholic queen gave her jewels, and a Catholic navigator gave himself, his energy and his brains.

Do I in this thought sound narrow? Do I, because their beliefs are mine, seem to show greater veneration than I show their Protestant compatriots? Do not misunderstand me. I honor them only in that they did their duty as Americans. It was their country, not their church, that at these times needed and got their services, but in honesty I am proud to say that they gave their strength and their lives the more willingly because their mother church taught and teaches them that, in giving their best to their country, they are giving to their God. Men are realizing more and more daily that a man's religion is a spiritual thing that should rightly animate love and charity toward all men, that both the man who kneels in the confessional and the man who sings in the prayer-meeting on Sunday will be honest on Monday if they knelt or sang in sincerity.
Gentlemen, as a Catholic missionary who is treading the well worn paths of the saintly old Padres, I believe I will be allowed to recount briefly the patriotic achievements of Catholics, an evidence written on every page of this country's history, and no man's hand can take it out. A demonstration not of necessity, but of emphaesis, of recollection and of prophesy.
Catholic patriotism ploughs the Atlantic with Columbus and with Balboa, it looks upon the Pacific from the peak of Darlen. With Leaf Ericson it scirts the shores of Vineland and with Sebastian Cabot sees the snows of Labrador. With DeSoto and Marquette it discovers the Mississippi; with Champlain it finds the lake that bears his name; with Cartier it sails the picturesque St. Lawrence; and with Ponce de Leon it seeks the fountain of everlasting youth. With its early missionaries it blazes the trails of our primeval forests, throws the first path across our torrid deserts, and opens to the world the grand harbors of the
The discovery of America, gentlemen, was the most momentous contribution to the cause of democracy since the advent of Christ. Christ preached the message of democracy on the Mount, and to it America gave political application. And for the discovery of this new world, where democracy could grow and spread around the globe, a Catholic Monk gave his eloquence, a Catholic king gave his treasure, a Catholic queen gave her jewels, and a Catholic navigator gave himself, his energy and his brains.
Again the day is coming when we will gather "the ashes of our honored dead into the urn of immortality and write their names on the nation's roll of honor."
For the sake of inspiration then, we like to remember how the Magna Charta, the foundation stone of the Constitution of the United States, was wrested from old King John by Cardinal Langton and the Catholic barons of England.
We like to remember how Antoine Cadillac founded Detroit and visualized the inter-lake canals.
We like to remember how years and years before the Colonies began to fight for it in 1776, Lord Baltimore had written into the charter of Catholic Maryland the inspirational principle of "no taxation without representation."
We like to remember how George Calvert of Maryland and Governor Dongan of New York gave this country its first example of freedom in religious worship.
We like to remember how Charles Carroll once said: "If there was a single Catholic traitor to the cause of the American Colonies in the revolutionary war, the world never heard of him.
We like to remember that while Benedict Arnold was accepting traitorious gold from England's king and giving as one of the excuses for being a traitor his objection to associating with so many Catholics in the American army—there was a Catholic officer in the American Recolutionary navy who refused a bribe of a hundred thousand dollars from Lord Howe to surrender the good ship Effingham. And as he refused the bribe this Cath-

olic officer said: "Go tell Old King George he has not enough gold in all his realm to buy a single hair on the head of Saucy Jack Barry." It was this Fighting Jack Barry, the father of the American navy whose sailors on the sea brought $3,000,000 home to make this country free, and one hour after his ship was burned on the Delaware he converted his sailors into soldiers and marched away to join Washington at Trenton. Of him the poet wrote:
"There are gallant hearts whose glory Columbia loves to name, Whose deeds shall live in glory And everlasting fame; But no man ever braver Our Starry Banner bore Than Saucy Old Jack Barry, The Irish Commodore."
We like to remember how Catholic France loaned us sixty-six million francs to win the Revolutionary war; how the Catholic soldiers and sailors under Lafayette, Rochambeau and De Grasse comprised fifty per cent and more of the American forces under Washington that smashed Cornwallis at Yorktown and forever banished foreign domination from this land.
We like to remember how Father Gibault helped give the Great North-west to these United States—how he handed over every dollar he had in the world to aid Clark in that historic expedition and from this government never received one cent in return; how he won old Vincennes over to our cause without firing a gun.
We like to remember how the only Catholic Priest who ever held a seat in Congress was the pioneer of this country's good roads movement from which we enjoy untold blessings today. His name was Father Richards, Gabriel Richards. He was a congressman from Michigan, the companion of Louis Cass and the friend of Henry Clay. He dared to cross the Detroit river into Canada and was taken prisoner until the treaty of Ghent was signed.
And there was Charles Carroll, who signed the Declaration of Independence though a king's hangman threatened him with his rope; and John Hughes, Archbishop of New York, who crossed the seas and kept France from trying to wreck the Union and Rishon Dominic of Pittsburg numbers than any other domestic animal.
As a consumer of byproducts the hog has no rival. No other animal equals the lard hog in its fat storing tendency.
The most satisfactory meat for shipping long distances on train, boat or wagon and for long storage after reaching its destination is mess pork.
There is no animal which produces more meat and meat products than the hog.
Pork finds ready sale because packers have discovered many ways of placing pork on the market in attractive and highly palatable form.
There is no other meat from which so many products are manufactured. Very near 50 per cent of the total value, in dollars and cents, of the meat and meat products slaughtered in the packing houses of the United States is derived from the hog.
Our country leads, by far, all countries in the production as well as in the consumption of meat and meat products.
Three fourths of the world's international trade in pork and pork products originates in the United States in normal times, and the war greatly has increased this proportion.
According to the estimates there was an increase of 9,580,000 hogs between 1910, the census year, and 1916, inclusive. The increase at the end of 1915 was 3,148,000 over the preceding year, while it is estimated that there was a decrease at the end of 1916 of 313,000 hogs, compared with 1915.
If we expect to continue to provide meat to foreign peoples as well as our own people, every farmer must put forth the best effort to produce more hogs. Hogs can be kept profitably upon many farms where they are not found today. Farmers who already raise hogs can produce many more, for there is not much chance of producing meat this year in excess of re-

HARVESTING BEETS
The work of harvesting Orange county's $3,000,000 sugar beet crop has commenced. The early beets are on their way to the factories. The plant of the Holly Sugar corporation at Huntington Beach started slicing July 23, and the Santa Ana Sugar company and the Southern California Sugar company plants at Santa Ana will commence in about two weeks. The Anaheimcompany and the Los Alamitos companies are counting on busy seasons. The local plant is now receiving beets, and is about ready to start. It is probable that the total acreage of beets to be harvested for the five factories in this county is 50,000. Reports from the fields indicate everywhere a good yield.
AEROPLANE COMPANY
CLOSES A LEASE
Will Build its Aviation Field on the Union Tract
The aviation field of the Anaheim Aeroplane company is to be located on the Union Oil company tract in the southern part of Brea. This fact was decided when Secretary Kinsler of the Brea Chamber of Commerce succeeded in getting an assurance from the land department of the Union company that the desired site could be secured.
The aeroplane company had intended to locate on the Graham Loftus lease and had even spent considerable money in preparing the grounds there for occupancy but on a trip through the ground by representatives of the company the Brea strip attracted their attention and admiration as an ideal location in every respect and nego-
This is the time of the season when the gardener is likely to allow the weeds to get a start in the garden. Right now the plants need every drop of water and weeds should not be allowed to rob them. Weeds grow much faster than cultivated crops, and if not destroyed will rob the plants of the moisture they need for forming fruit. Those fortunate enough to possess a private warterworks, or who have city water should make use of the hose to supply the crops in the home garden with needed water. The watering should be done in the evening and by the time the sun rises the next morning the water will have year, while it is estimated that there was a decrease at the end of 1916 of 313,000 hogs, compared with 1915.
If we expect to continue to provide meat to foreign peoples as well as our own people, every farmer must put forth the best effort to produce more hogs. Hogs can be kept profitably upon many farms where they are not found today. Farmers who already raise hogs can produce many more, for there is not much chance of producing meat this year in excess of requirements.
More dairy farmers should raise hogs, for they fit in especially well upon dairy farms where skim milk, buttermilk or whey is fed upon the farm. A man who has skim milk is in a better position to raise pigs than a man who has none.
BIGGEST MELON CROP IN HISTORY
In Spite of Valley Shortage Shipments From Rich Valley Evceed Those Of Any Other Year
During the cantaloupe shipping season just closing in the Imperial valley, more of the melons were shipped than during any other season, the quality was better than ever before, and the price per crate was higher than in previous years, according to a report by the United States Bureau of Markets, just issued.
Up to July 20, 4945 cars of cantaloupes were shipped from the valley. During the 1916 season, 4675 cars were shipped. This number was, until this year, a record for melon shipments from any locality in the United States. Had it not been for a shortage of cars during one week this season, the output would probably have been nearly 7000 cars. It is expected that the total 1917 output will be 5500 cars.
On one day in June, 253 cars of cantaloupes moved out of the valley. Three days afterward, when more than 200 cars per day were moving, came the announcement of the car shortage and the shipments were cut to 160 cars per day, one car being allotted for every eighty acres. Tons of the ripened fruit were fed to hogs, and yet the high price being received for the fruit netted the growers and distributors a good profit.
Last Tuesday the United States office of markets branch at Brawley was closed and bulletins on the cantaloupe market conditions were ceased. On
The aeroplane company had intended to locate on the Graham Loftus lease and had even spent considerable money in preparing the grounds there for occupancy but on a trip through the ground by representatives of the company the Brea strip attracted their attention and admiration as an ideal location in every respect and negotiations looking to the change to this place was at once opened.
Work will commence at once on the grounds and within a short time the place will be ready for opening the school of instruction for flyers. The company has already enrolled a number of pupils who are awaiting the announcement that everything is in readiness for starting the school. The government will turn over a number of recruits to the instructors here who will properly fit them for service in Uncle Sam's corps.
The machines that will be used on the Brea field will be manufactured in this city, and three of them are now receiving the finishing touches and will be ready for service in a few days.
CUBA'S INDUSTRIAL ADVANCE
Nowhere has greater solicitude been manifested for the welfare of Cuba than in the United States, and it follows, logically, that nowhere will there be felt more genuine gratification because of the increased commercial and industrial development of that island, now apparent. Recent events, while there have been internal disturbances which at one time threatened serious results, have tended to convince, not only all elements in the Cuban republic, but people of all countries, that the government of the island is firmly established and honestly administered. No further invitation than this assurance is required to bring to Cuba all the capital and all the directing force necessary for the development of its industrial resources. Those persons, in the United States and elsewhere, who have been most familiar with the natural resources of Cuba have persistently maintained that, with an opportunity to devote to industry the energies and forces so long monopolized in dealing with factional uprisings and revolutions, a measure of prosperity would speedily be attained things which b mercially United reflected.

WEEDS GROW MUCH FASTER THAN CULTIVATED Crops, and if not destroyed will rob the plants of the moisture they need for forming fruit. Those fortunate enough to possess a private warterworks, or who have city water should make use of the hose to supply the crops in the home garden with needed water. The watering should be done in the evening and by the time the sun rises the next morning the water will have soaked in. The soil should be cultivated about 24 hours after each watering in order to prevent the formation of a crust on the surface. Nothing retains soil moisture like a finely broken surface. Never allow soil in the garden to become baked as moisture is being lost.
It is an excellent plan to water eggplants, peppers, cabbage, cucumbers, melons, celery, and other crops needing highly fertilized soil, with manure water. Have a barrel covered with fly screen in which to prepare and store the manure water. Give each plant an occasional watering with this and the added growth will repay you.
"RAISE HOGS AND WALLOW IN GOLD"

Next to the raising of poultry, the quickest and surest way of augmenting the meat supply is by raising hogs, the United States Department of agriculture points out.
The hog is the most important animal to raise for meat and money. He requires less labor, less equipment, less capital, makes greater gains per 100 pounds of concentrates and reproduces himself faster and in greater

tained which would promise great things for the future. Conditions which have served to increase all commercial and industrial activity in the United States have, of course, been reflected in no small degree in Cuba. The sugar industry, for instance, has benefited greatly, and this, in turn, has encouraged the building of additional railways. Increased freight from sugar mills and plantations, and the movement of larger volumes of merchandise of all kinds, have made necessary the development of plans for additional wharf facilities and larger warehouse space. Tourist traffic also is increasing, it is reported, and large, modern hotel buildings are being planned.
Marked as is the contrast between the Cuba of today and Cuba under Spanish rule, industrially and commercially, it is no more marked than is the contrast between the people of Spanish Cuba and the people of Cuba liberated. Immediately responsive to new duties and new responsibilities, the residents of Cuba, who cherished sufficient independence of thought and action to fight against what for years seemed likely to prove overwhelmig odds, have progressed far n solving the great problems incident to a complete realization of their highest ideals. It is true, as they fully appreciate that serious problems still confront them as a nation. These problems are the greater because of the susceptibility of a large portion of the masses of that republic to influences which seek to divert them from industry to the pursuit of a modified brigandage, which, they have been promised, will insure to them a license greater than the liberty they now enjoy, together with the spoilsmen's share of the earnings of capital.

NEW FIGHT TO OUST SEAL BEACH TRUSTEE
Following the filing of a recall petition against Trustee Walter G. Pfaffenberger of Seal Beach another petition was in circulation last week with the object of recalling Trustee Harry Magle.
The two recall fights were an outgrowth of the liquor war at the beach city, which culminated some months ago in the recall of Mayor J. H. Blagge and the recent filing of a suit to oust J. P. Transue, another trustee.
The latest development of the difficulty places three out of five city trustees under fire and establishes the record of three recall fights in four months in one city. Mr. Preffenberger has issued a statement. He said:
"The recall petition is aimed at myself as a retaliatory measure for our side having filed a suit in the superior court against the illegal seating of J. P. Transue as trustee last May. Mr. Transue was seated on a decision Attorney Joseph Burke of Santa Ana, which, according to the attorney general of California had no precedent in the United States. I stand for law and order first and last, and against unregulated booze, which, of course, makes the liquor interests of Seal Beach squirm with rage. Even though I be recalled the fight will go merrily
