MILLIONS OF MEN ENROLLED FOR WAR GIANT LOTTERY ENDED AND MACHINERY IN MOTION FOR DRAFTING FIRST ARMY EXEMPTION BOARDS GETTING READY TO PASS UPON THOSE SUMMONED All the men in the United States between the ages of 21 and 31 were drawn in the conscription for the war which began at Washington at 9:45 o'clock Friday and ended Saturday. There are 9,500,000 of them, including native born, foreign born, citizens, and aliens, and from this list will be selected the vast army that is to carry the flag into Europe and help discipline the Kaiser. The first army to be organized from this list will consist of 687,000 men, and the fact that the government estimates that this number can be secured from the first 1,374,000 men drawn indicates that numerous claims for exemption will be rejected. It was at first understood that all married men would be exempt but this has been modified. The mere fact that a man possesses a wife will not be sufficient excuse for dropping him from the roll. If he has no dependent children and his wife has sufficient resources aside from his labor to maintain her the husband is not exempt. There will be as little delay as possible in organizing the army. The ing the agricultural course, and will return north about the 18th of next month to resume his studies. Nine men in Placentia had their numbers drawn after him. Present indications are that none of the board will be able to do any real, official acts until late this week or the first of next week. The actual work of determining those who are to be exempted from selection cannot commence, at least not officially, until the lists of the serial numbers drawn out of the big glass bowl in Washington last Friday have been received from the office of the provost marshal general at Washington. As soon as the official lists are completed the governors will be furnished with two copies for each local board in their states. They will be asked to mail each copy separately to local officials so as to insure delivery. Immediately on receipt of their lists, each local board will cancel the numbers higher than the top red ink number in its district, and then from the remaining numbers enough men to make up double the district's quota will be notified to appear for physical examination. Provost Marshal General Crowder has ruled that posting at the board headquarters of the list of men ordered to appear constitutes legal notification. It therefore is incumbent upon all registered men to learn their red ink numbers at once and to see that the board headquarters is watched when the list is posted. Those ordered up also will be notified by mail, but the period allowed for appearance will count from the posting of the list. The boards will have just three days in which to examine the men whose names are called in the first draft. As fast as the men are accepted or exempted, their names will be posted at the office of each board elevators without the day of operation within which constitute a sepa.

If he has no dependent children and his wife has sufficient resources aside from his labor to maintain her the husband is not exempt. There will be as little delay as possible in organizing the army. The men will appear before the examining surgeon who will certify to their physical fitness. If they pass they will then report to the exemption board. This body will determine whether or not they are eliminated by the law. The examining physician for this district is Dr. A. K. Jones of Los Angeles, and the exemption board is composed of C. C. Chapman, Richard Melrose and Dr. George C. Clark. The board will hold sessions at the office of City Attorney Marks of Fullerton. The first army will be taken from the first men drawn, and unless the war lasts longer than is now anticipated those on the latter end of the roll stand a poor chance of accompanying the boys on their march to Berlin. There were 10,500 capsules in the jar, each bearing a number which drew a man in every one of the 4967 districts into which the country was divided, provided the figure was not greater than the number registered in some of the districts. There was, of course, much disparity in the size of the districts, the smallest being in Wyoming where only 187 men registered and the largest being in the city of Detroit, the highest man being numbered 10,500. Much interest was taken in the bulletin boards as the numbers were telegraphed throughout the country as fast as they were drawn. The first capsule taken from the jar bore the number 258. In this district this was the number of the roll of Markeeks Vaiza of West Anaheim. The second number missed Anaheim, but took A. E. Rhome of Brea. Fifth on the list was 83 which called C. C. Matthews to the colors. Then followed among the Anaheimers, A. B. Rangel, Ed Schneider, Roy Charleston, H. G. Mayer, M. A. Garton, P. Gaxiola, Chillie Fisher, Howard Krause, Joe Collings, William Vetter and a number of others who were crowding the top of the list. There was considerable excitement AUTO CLUB GOING AFTER MOTOR THIEVES What is considered one of the greatest coalitions ever formed to protect motorists from the depredations of motor car thieves is that just completed between the Auto Club of Southern California and approximately 100 of the leading automobile manufacturers of the United States. According to an announcement made by Auto club officials, all of the large American factories are now cooperating with the Southern California organization in an attempt to stop automobile stealing and to run to earth the many gangs of thieves which are infesting this part of the country. Following an official request through the mails from the Club's theft bureau the manufacturers have placed on file at club headquarters all valuable information in regard to the exact location of motor numbers, and the numbers of all individual parts of every car. That this means of identification is the leading factor in recovering stolen machines and that a widespread ignorance as to their location exists is the statement made by the officials. Much confusion arises when large manufacturing concerns change the location of the numbers or when a new car is put on the market. Files with all information supplied by the manufacturers have been established and will be available for use by the authorities cooperating with the Auto club in its drive upon motor car thieves, not only in Southern California, but in all parts of the United They are building for their cars, except type of construction indicating grade cross line.

The Fullerton district of individual citrus ownership in Californias is the Bay consisting of 27000 Coyote Hills Approximately $25 in the development area and already acres are in a h number of the roll of Markeeks Vaiza of West Anaheim. The second number missed Anaheim, but took A. E. Rhome of Brea. Fifth on the list was 83 which called C. C. Matthews to the colors. Then followed among the Anaheimers, A. B. Rangel, Ed Schneider, Roy Charleston, H. G. Mayer, M. A. Garton, P. Gaxiola, Chillie Fisher, Howard Krause, Joe Collings, William Vetter and a number of others who were crowding the top of the list. There was considerable excitement around the boards, but the boys who saw their names were game, each declaring his willingness to go. The total number registered in this district was 2466, and the quota to be taken is 168. The Southern district of Orange county had a registration of 2270 and will furnish 155 meh. According to the registration California must furnish 34,846 men, but it has already furnished 11,000 by enlistment consequently the number to be drawn is 23,864. Orange county's full quota is 553, but more than two hundred have volunteered, which leaves the number to be supplied at about 320. The capsule containing No.1 was taken out of the far in the middle of the drawing. In this district it was held by George Huntington of this city, but it is so far down the list that Stump thinks his chances of going to France are slight. One of the first men drawn was Joe Collings, Wells-Fargo agent and one of the managers of the Mason theatre. Joe has no marital ties to bind him and thinks he is physically fit, consequently is setting his house in order and expects to go. Ray Hale, son of H. H. Hale of Placentia, whose number was 841, was the 8800 man drawn. Only 18000 numbers were drawn after him. Ray is a junior at the University of California, tak- NEW LAW FOR ELEVATOR INSPECTION The bill which passed the ast legislature, providing for inspection of elevators, will become effective July 27, 1917. It is known as chapter 74, Laws of 1917, and stipulates that no power elevator or hand power elevator shall be operated unless a permit to operate shall have been issued by the Industrial Accident commission of the state of California, following an inspection either by a state inspector or an inspector holding a certificate of competency from the commission. It is made a misdemeanor to operate Anaheim Gazette elevators without the permit, and each day of operation without such permit will constitute a separate offense. The Industrial Accident commission has sent out return post cards to all owners or operators of elevators, asking that request be made on the post cards for an inspection of the elevator or elevators concerned. Provision is made in the law that no penalty shall be attached where an elevator is operating without a permit if application for an inspection shall have been made, but remains unacted upon. This means has been adopted by the commission in order that owners of elevators will not be liable pending the required inspection. TWO NEW RAILROADS IN FULLERTON DISTRICT Better Transportation Facilities, Development of Great Citrus Ranch And Other Advantages Stimulate Growth of Town Before the end of next month the cars of the Pacific Electric railroad will be running into Fullerton. Some time within the coming year the trains of the Salt Lake company will also be operating through the growing orange belt. These railroad companies are taping the Fullerton district without the encouragement of a bonus on the part of the town's people. They are building a superb road bed for their cars, excelling the ordinary type of construction. They are eliminating grade crossings all along the line. In place of these at every county crossroad there will be an over head viaduct to carry the trains high above the automobile. The route of the Pacific Electric into Fullerton is virtually a southerly extension of the La Habra line. Branching from the main Yorba Linda $1,000,000 annually for both incoming and outgoing shipments when the orchards come into bearing. Until that time large quantities of other product will be raised between the tree rows. This year the company rented large areas between tree rows for planting to cabbage, beans and other crops and in most cases the individuals who did the renting profited well on the harvest due to the high prices they received in the market and the abundance of the crop they raised. PLENTY OF TIME TO FUMIGATE ORCHARDS Elwood Paddock of Orange Advises Growers to Wait Until Sept. A warning against fumigating too early for scale is sounded to citrus orchard owners by Elwood M. Paddock of Orange, horticultural inspector for that district. In an interview Mr. Paddock advised growers to avoid haste in the matter. "Weather conditions have caused the scale to come slowly this year," said Mr. Paddock. "While the heat did not kill any great per cent of it; the scale just about to hatch was retarded to such an extent that there will be a very even hatch of all the scale. It would be advisable to wait with the fumigating and get it all at once. It should be possible a little later to get practically a hone hundred per cent result." "For black scale it would not be well to fumigate before August 1, as the very earliest date, and possibly not until the 15th or September 1. If fumigating as early as August 1 the orchard should first be given a careful inspection. Sometimes it is all right to fumigate as early as July 20th, but not this year." Another reason against early fumigating," continued Mr. Paddock, "is year's crop may be done efficiently, and the highest returns realized on the fruit which is shipped. It is in times like these that organization counts. Costs must be minimized. There must be cooperation to eliminate duplicate effort and waste motion. Intelligent distribution and complete market information are necessary to obtain the full value of the remaining crop. Operating costs of the Exchange will be reduced to the minimum consistent with the efficient handling of the lighter crop and the protection of the future interests of the industry.—The Sunkist Courier. UNCLE SAM'S MENU High priced cafes have nothing on the meals served by Uncle Sam, at least on the Fourth of July, according to a letter received by Mr. and Mrs. E. I. Fuller, of Fullerton, from their son, Tod Fuller who enlisted in, the yeoman branch of the navy. He is stationed at San Francisco. This is the menu the government provided on the Fourth: Radishes, sweet pickles, green onions, iceed cantaloupes, cream of tomato soup, croutons, fricandau of veal, garden peas, baker spiced ham roast chicken, oyster dressing, giblet gravy, mashed potatoes, asparagus on buttered toast, lettuce hearts salad, French dressing, Neapolitan ice cream, pumpkin and apple pie, full cream cheese, toasted crackers, marble cake, oranges, bananas, mixed nuts and raisins, cigars, coffee. The Fourth of July and Christmas are the two holidays especially observed by the navy. GOING TO WASTE The sea coast of California swarms with good food that is going to waste because people have not learned to use it. Even sharks are edible, and are considered delicious by some forage men wh They are building a super road bed for their cars, excelling the ordinary type of construction. They are eliminating grade crossings all along the line. In place of these at every county crossroad there will be an over head viaduct to carry the trains high above the automobile. The route of the Pacific Electric in to Fullerton is virtually a southerly extension of the La Habra line. Branching from the main Yorba Linda La Habra line at the town of La Habra the new right of way turns over the Coyote Hills of the famous Bastanchury rancho to Fullerton. This part of the route passes directly through a portion of the Fullerton oil fields as well as through a country commanding a wide range of scenic beauty by reason of its elevation above the surrounding valleys. The Pacific Electric has agreed with the city officials of Fullerton to furnish a schedule of at least eight passenger trains a day from Los Angeles, and to erect a substantial and suitable station building in the town. An ornamental concrete viaduct is to be built over Spadra road, where the new line enters Fullerton on its private right of way. The work on this has already been started. The grade cutting through the Coyote Hills has been completed and tracks and overhead wiring have already been laid to the residential district of Fullerton. The complete right of way of the Salt Lake company has not been purchased and the exact route it will follow is not determined. The company, however, has an agreement standing with the city of Fullerton to have its trains running into the town within 18 months. It is expected that the road will be completed long before the expiration of this time limit. Aside from adding conveniences to the present living facilities and contributing to the general welfare of the existing industries, the new roads will open areas of lands heretofore not available for intensified farming. The Fullerton district will soon have the distinction of having the largest, individual citrus orchard, under one ownership in California. This is the Bastanchury Rancho, consisting of 2700 acres and lying in the Coyote Hills north of Fullerton. Approximately $250,000 is being spent in the development of this extensive area and already many hundreds of acres are in a high state of cultivation. Doctor Harvey W. Wiley, former chief of the bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture says: "Eat oranges; eat them in summer; eat them in winter; eat as many as you later to get practically a whole harvest per cent result." "For black scale it would not be well to fumigate before August 1, as the very earliest date, and possibly not until the 15th or September 1. If fumigating as early as August 1 the orchard should first be given a careful inspection. Sometimes it is all right to fumigate as early as July 20th, but not this year. Another reason against early fumigating," continued Mr. Paddock, "is the late development of fruit. The fruit at this stage might be burned by fumigation. My advice is by all means go slow." ARE ORANGES NECESSARY? To say that oranges constitute an essential part of diet would be absurd. Nations lived for centuries without oranges and there are yet individuals who eat them only rarely. Experts have long proclaimed the fact that the planning of a healthful diet involves other considerations than that of fuel units and that fresh fruits play an important part in preserving health and increasing the tissue-building properties of more concentrated foods, such as meats and grains. The organic salts and acids contained in oranges are known to be particularly valuable in promoting digestion and proper assimilation of nourishment. Whether oranges are a necessity, a semi luxury or a luxury has always been an interesting question and when the government began its campaign to conserve food resources and put efficiency into the American kitchen, a questionnaire on the importance of oranges was addressed to dieticians, domestic science teachers, physicians, and magazine editors of national reputation. Page upon page of replies from food experts, doctors and health authorities indicate the great importance attached to the orange as an aid to health. It is often the public who decides whether an article is a necessity or a luxury and domestic science teachers and editors, who are in a position to know the attitude of the public on such questions, are unanimous in declaring that the orange has won such an important place on the American bill of fare that it can be safely classed as a necessity.

Work on the plan of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo for life and indemnity insurance to the soldiers and sailors of the United States is progressing. The advisory committee of 10 prominent insurance men and other committees and the secretary are working out the details and a bill will ultimately be drafted and presented to congress for action. The report of the various committees and the secretary's action furnish a tangible working basis for the legislation. The insuring of our soldiers and sailors will only be a new application of a well known principle. Employees' insurance, especially for those enraged in hazardous employment, has The Fullerton district will soon have the distinction of having the largest, individual citrus orchard, under one ownership in California. This is the Bastanchury Rancho, consisting of 2700 acres and lying in the Coyote Hills north of Fullerton. Approximately $250,000 is being spent in the development of this extensive area and already many hundreds of acres are in a high state of cultivation. By the coming fall the owners expect to have planted over 1500 acres in citrus fruits. The big ranch is particularly favored as a site for citrus culture because it is so highly elevated and the stock growing on its hillsides is protected from damaging frosts." The great problem in the development has been that of supplying the water. Due to the rolling and hilly nature of the tract it has been impracticable to attempt to do much leveling. The water has to be conducted to the highest elevations and conducted through cement irrigating pipes over the orchards. The development of the water on the ranch itself and the distribution of it is an unusual engineering feat. Some difficulties have been encountered in this work which have been overcome by original and unique ideas. These are already installed, and proving up to the expectations of the designers. In one location between two chains of hills an artificial dam has been thrown up, creating a 10-acre lake for water storage. This has a capacity exceeding 50,000,000 gallons. From it water is gravitated to points on the ranch nearly two miles distant. It is estimated by the administration department of the rancho that the company's freight bills with the railroad company will amount to nearly an article is a necessity or a luxury and domestic science teachers and editors, who are in a position to know the attitude of the public on such questions, are unanimous in declaring that the orange has won such an important place on the American bill of fare that it can be safely classed as a necessity. Doctor Harvey W. Wiley, former chief of the bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture says: "Eat oranges; eat them in summer; eat them in winter; eat as many as you can afford to buy; they are better for you than physic. Note that I do not say 'eat an orange for breakfast,' but 'eat oranges.' I don't think anything I have ever said in praise of a fruit diet is too strong to say about oranges." Perhaps the most authoritative answer to the question, "Are oranges necessary," comes from Herbert C. Hoover, food director, who when referring to the suffering occasioned in Belgium by nutritional diseases is quoted as saying that "fruits are absolutely essential as a war diet." The word "necessary" in the strict sense of the term, can probably not be applied to oranges, for people can live without them. A careful weighing of the evidence, however, points unmistakably to the conclusion that oranges play too important a role in preserving the health of the nation to be classed as luxuries, even in an emergency. And this holds true whether scientists, the government or the public sit as jury.—Sunkist Courier. MEETING THE SITUATION A portion of next year's crop has been destroyed. Every organization and every individual in the industry is called upon to put forth extraordinary effort that the marketing of next prominent insurance men and other committees and the secretary are working out the details and a bill will ultimately be drafted and presented to congress for action. The report of the various committees and the secretary's action furnish a tangible working basis for the legislation. The insuring of our soldiers and sailors will only be a new application of a well known principle. Employees' insurance, especially for those engaged in hazardous employment, has long been recognized as a just and wise and profitable policy in private business, and has been successfully operated for years. In fact through the United States employees' compensation commission civilian employees of the government are now insured against accidents occurring in the course of their employment. The wisdom and justice of a great government applying the principle to its citizens who for their country's sake engage in the extra hazardous employment of war are apparent to all. Our soldiers and sailors in defense of their country are daily hazarding their lives and safety and they certainly deserve the same protection, and their dependents deserve the same protection, that great business corporation give their employees and the United States gives certain of its employees. Secretary McAdoo before the conference of insurance men outlined his views as follows: "It seems to me that we ought not, as we send our men into this war, say to them that they must be dependent upon future legislation for the granting of compensations which have heretofore, under our policy, taken the form of pensions. Our brave men should oint be left in uncertainty or doubt as to what is going to be done for them in case of either Automobiles REPAIRED At a very reasonable cost you can have your old machine made into a new one.

DEER SEASON BEGINS FIRST OF AUGUST In Orange County, However, Sept. 1 is First Day The 1917 deer season will open in the coast counties on the first of August. Fifteen days later, hunting will be permissable in the Sierras. There have been a few changes since last year in the districting of the state. Santa Barbara and Ventura counties are now in district 3 where the season opens August 1. Mono and Inyo have been transferred to district 4, which does not open until September 1. From information furnished by Southern Pacific agents it is believed that deer are more plentiful in California than for several years. The railroad company is collecting data for the benefit of prospective hunters, and predicts a successful hunting season. The spike buck law which has now been in effect for two years has brought about more favorable breeding conditions with fewer barren does. This and better enforcement of game laws with the cooperation of sportsmen, is regarded as responsible for the increase of the antlered brethren. The Southern Pacific some time ago issued a general order to locomotive engineers to dim their rheadlights when deer got on the tracks and were in danger of being run down. In the Sierras, the deer use the railroad right of way frequently on their spring migrations back to the highlands. The locomotive crews report that the dimming rule is needed and is saving many deer. Open season for deer: Districts 1, 23, 24, 25 and 26—August 15 to October 14, inclusive. Districts 2 and 3—August 1 to September 14, inclusive. District 4—September 1 to September 30. Doves—Open seasons in all districts except district 1. September 1 to November 30, inclusive.

TO FRANCE IN THE SPRING Drafted soldiers of the United States will not go to Europe before early in the spring, and the one thing that might make it unnecessary for them to fight on foreign shores would be the end of the war before that time. Whether the embattled millions can drive the kaiser to sue for peace before the springtime is the unknown element in the problem. The plan of the chiefs of the war department and government leaders seems to be to give the men of the first draft at least six months, hard work in drill and study before they are taken to France, and for that purpose, perhaps in September, the conscripts will be assembled in great camps, largely in southern states where the regimen of camp life is less likely to be disturbed by the storms of winter. There the 687,000 men of our first great army will be hardened and seasoned for the work ahead, and the winter months will be largely or entirely passed before the big movement to Europe begins. Meantime, there will doubtless be a large part of our regular army already on the firing line, and the natio. ul guard forces are likely to go next, because they have already been in training, and with the conscripted troops, it will mean something like 1,000,000 men fighting under Old Glory, to repay our national obligation to France, and to help defeat and outlaw and exile autocracy from civilization.
