Although the four minute speaking campaign is to be carried out here under the auspices of the state council of defense, it will in nowise be a local proposition, as similar campaigns are to be conducted in every state in the Union under the auspices of the national council of defense. In the campaign to be conducted in California, county organizations of speakers will be formed and they will formulate speaking programs which will cover every theatre, school house and other public meeting place in every village and city in each county. The county organizations will cooperate with the state council of defense and will be under the direction of William V. Cowan, secretary of the state defense body, who has been delegated by the national council of defense to act as chairman of the California four minute men. Among the subjects to be discussed in the state wide speaking campaign will be the pressing need of food conservation, the elimination of surplus delivery service in mercantile establishments, the utilization of every available bit of "man power" in the country, and similar topics.

STATE FARM LABOR AGENT To help the farmers of California to meet their labor problems, the Committee of Resources and Food Supply of the State Council of Defense has arranged with the University of California to have Professor R. L. Adams serve as State Farm Labor Agent in California. He will represent the state council of defense, the University and also the United States Department of Agriculture. Announcement of how the farmer or the farm laborer may have aid in farm labor matters is made in a bulletin on "The Farm Labor Situation in California," written by Prof. Adams, and just issued by the university. The farm labor shortage in California just at present, reports Professor Adams, is especially of milkers, teamsters, riders and others needed for handling and working stock. The number is limited, also, of laborers for hand work on cotton, sugar beets, and similar crops requiring a hard.

The salary of the Garage man, purchasing agent, and superintendent of maintenance, was increased $10 per month. FOUR MINUTE MEN In an effort to arouse Californians from their general condition of apathy regarding the war and for the purpose of bringing home clearly to them the seriousness of the situation and the need for concerted action, there is being organized under the direction of the state council of defense a corps of what will be known as "California's Four Minute Men." Instead of shouldering a musket as did their namesakes of Revolutionary days, California's four minute men will fire verbal broadsides. Every motion picture theatre in the state is to be pressed into service as a part of the program being mapped out for the four minute speakers, and every farm laborer may have aid in farm labor matters is made in a bulletin on "The Farm Labor Situation in California," written by Prof. Adams, and just issued by the university. The farm labor shortage in California just at present, reports Professor Adams, is especially of milkers, teamsters, riders and others needed for handling and working stock. The number is limited, also, of laborers for hand work on cotton, sugar beets, and similar crops requiring a hard, back breaking kind of work. Among the reasons for farm labor scarcity are the departure of foreigners for military service, tong warfare, which keeps many Chinese in hiding, the fact that many Hindoos are going into farming for themselves as companies, instead of as employees; highway construction, which is taking men from farm work and the absorption of farm labor by other industries. As regards new sources of farm labor, the most available, says this report, are patriotically inclined city dwellers or high school boys. Such labor it says cannot do much more than pick up prunes or walnuts, hoe weeds, handle a shovel or pitchfork, or pick berries. While such labor is only a drop in the bucket, all of it that can be used will at least partially release capable men for other lines of farm work. The state farm labor agent says that any farmer in need of help should first exhaust the resources of the employment agencies, the state public employment bureaus, and the United States Employment Service. If his needs cannot be supplied by them, he should apply to the county council of defense of his own county. If the county council of defense finds it impossible to supply the need, then have been unable to Sanchez since then. In the hope that will bring forth a covenant about 150 pounds of medium bulldoors and dark brown exteriors a noticeable scar accrued.

Men wishing work on farms should file applications with the local county farm labor agent of the county council of defense. If he cannot place such applicants, he will report the names of such men to the state farm labor agent. The state farm labor agent points out that the employer who expects to employ high school boys or city dwellers must recognize that they are accustomed to a decent standard of living, and must expect to give them proper housing, including a due degree of privacy, a good bed, facilities for keeping clean, and proper sanitary accommodations. It is advised that wages be quoted at so-much per day, with deduction at a definite rate for room and board. It is believed that a relatively high rate for board and room, justified by providing full value, will result in better relation to employees than uncomfortable surroundings at a low charge. CANADA TO MEXICO HIGHWAY IS PLANNED U. S. War Department Approval to be Asked of Route Crossing Four States and Foothills of Rockies The United States war department will be asked for early approval of a military highway project wherein Canada may be linked with Mexico by means of a north and south route, crossing four states and traversing the foothills region of the Rockies. Montana, Idaho, Colorado and New Mexico assembled representatives at Denver recently to discuss plans to complete such a highway, its inception being regarded as a military ne- Massachusetts colony for some time. In 1775 the Pine Tree Flag was decided on for our vessels. The Southern States, or then colonies, from 1776 to 1777, used the Snake Flag. The first striped flag was raised at Washington's headquarters, Cambridge, Mass., January 2nd, 1776. It was called the Cambridge Flag, known in England as The Rebellious Stripes. Lieut. John Paul Jones hoisted this flag on his vessel, the Alfred, and said, "The flag of America floats for the first time over an American man-of-war." June 14th, 1777, Betsy Ross made the first flag of thirteen stars and thirteen stripes. Vermont was added to the Union in 1791 and Kentucky in 1792. In consequence two additional stars and stripes were added to the flag making a flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes. This was the flag of the War of 1812, and known as the Star Spangled Banner. April 4th, 1818, a bill was passed by congress, reducing the number of stripes to thirteen, and increasing the number of stars to one for each state. SHIPPING ACTIVITIES AT GARDEN GROVE Town Becoming Noted for Chillis and Pickles Two carloads of plums and peaches were shipped from Garden Grove last week to the eastern markets. Ten tons of cucumbers are being shipped from that point to Los Angeles daily. The Rosenmayer Hirch Pickle Co., is pickling from 20 to 25 barrels of dill pickles daily, and are salting three tons of cucumbers each day. Shipping of green chill's will commence this week two car loads of this product being shipped from the Grove every day during the shipping season to the California Packers Association, upon us by the unforseen chance of war undertaken for a far different purpose. Consequently, if Japan, intends to set up the doctrine that any attempt on the part of the United States or of any European nation to establish itself in sovereignty upon the soil of China will be looked upon by the Japanese as an unfriendly act, the United States would be the first to assent in such a declaration. But if Japanese touchiness regarding the note which Mr. Lansing dispatched to Peking is to be interpreted as meaning that she does not recognize our right to trade freely in China, to invest capital there in safety, and to exercise such supervision of our trade and investments as is warranted by ordinary prudence, then the United States will have to dissent. The superb success of John Hay in setting ajar the "open door" in the East was most largely due to the full recognition that we are not looking for territory or for aggressive colonial conquest So. long as Root and Knox were carrying on the sequence of that doctrine in the Far East, there was neither friction nor resentment anywhere. It was only when Bryan signaled his advent to the state department by repudiating American obligations in the so-called "Six Power loan" and when Secretary Lansing by his unfortunately worded notes has caused our motives to be called in question that we find ourselves embarrassed. John Hay and Elihu Root and Philander Knox seem to have set a high standard by the work of their trained diplomatic minds and under their direction of our foreign relations we had no misunderstandings of this sort and few of any kind. Then every chancellerie in the world knew that Uncle Sam said what he meant and meant what he said, and while that may have been "shirt sleeve diplomacy" it has The United States war department will be asked for early approval of a military highway project wherein Canada may be linked with Mexico by means of a north and south route, crossing four states and traversing the foothills region of the Rockies. Montana, Idaho, Colorado and New Mexico assembled representatives at Denver recently to discuss plans to complete such a highway, its inception being regarded as a military necessity. The supplanting of railway trains in many instances by the army motor trucks, it is reasoned, means greatly extended use of the highway, not only at the battle front, but in mobilization duties and in recruiting of men and supplies. An executive committee, appointed by the convention which met in Denver, accordingly will lay before the war department officials the request that army engineers be assigned at once to make an inspection of a proposed hard surfaced roadway, extending from Ft. Assiniboine in Montana to Ft. Bliss in Texas—a distance of more than 1600 miles. Attention will be called to the fact that portions of this highway already are constructed, there being many sections of grave land cement surfaced road in each of the states affected. Data to be submitted at Washington will set forth the productivity of the region to be traversed by this military trail, and the extensive use to which the highway undoubtedly will be put. REWARD FOR SANCHEZ One hundred and fifty dollars reward for the arrest and conviction of Jose Sanchez. This is the offer made by the board of supervisors at the request of Sheriff Jackson. Sanchez is the Mexican who on July 21 shot and killed Loran E. Eckles at a dance hall at El Toro. The officers have been unable to secure any trace of Sanchez since the date of the shooting. In the hope that such an offer will bring forth a clew which will aid them in locating the man, the sheriff has deemed it wise to secure an offer of a heavy reward for his arrest and conviction. Sanchez has been described as being between the ages of 20 and 25, about 5 feet 6 inches in height, weighing about 150 pounds. He is said to be of medium build, with black hair were shipped from Garden Grove last week to the eastern markets. Ten tons of cucumbers are being shipped from that point to Los Angeles daily. The Rosenmayer Hirch Pickle Co., is pickling from 20 to 25 barrels of dill pickles daily, and are salting three tons of cucumbers each day. Shipping of green chili's will commence this week two car loads of this product being shipped from the Grove every day during the shipping season to the California Packers Association, Santa Ana and the Royal Packing company, Los Angeles. It is a recognized fact that the Garden Grove district produces more chili peppers than any other section in the United States, and this year's crop promises to be a banner one. CALIFORNIA LAND SHOW Orange county will contribute to the success of the big California Land Show to be held in San Francisco in October by utilizing six hundred square feet of space for her exhibit. The reservation was made last week and a complete record smashing exhibit is promised. Alligator pears for which this county now leads the world, producing a quality of fruit superior to any imported, oranges, which are held as greatly superior in the eastern markets, potatoes, all kinds of fruits and a comprehensive lesson in what concerted effort can do in making a county's products known will all be given liberal space for demonstration. MAKE ME A BOY AGAIN Backward, turn backward, O Time, in thy flight, Make me a boy again, So I can fight. Make me a boy again, So I can run, So I can shoulder A knapsack and gun. Give me the muscles I had years ago. Give me the step that's Not wobbly and slow. Give me the strength that I may play my part. All that I have now for War is the heart. Give me the vim and The vigor of youth, I'll fight till doomsday, and That is the truth. Turn back the decades and have been unable to secure any trace of Sanchez since the date of the shooting. In the hope that such an offer will bring forth a clew which will aid them in locating the man, the sheriff has deemed it wise to secure an offer of a heavy reward for his arrest and conviction. Sanchez has been described as being between the ages of 20 and 25, about 5 feet 6 inches in height, weighing about 150 pounds. He is said to be of medium build, with black hair and dark brown eyes. He also has a noticeable scar across his throat. HISTORY OF THE FLAG Here is a list of the flags that have stood for authority on American soil since the discovery. Sebastian Cabot landed at Labrador 1497 and planted on North American soil the Red Cross flag of England, the ensign of King Henry the Seventh. The Flag of England, our mother country, was our flag from the landing of the Mayflower, 1620, until June 14, 1777. In 1606 Scotland was added to England, and the white cross of St. Andrew was placed upon the national flag, changing the field from white to blue, by order of King James First, and was called Union or King's colors. It was used in Massachusetts colony in 1634. 1707 the color of the flag was changed from blue to crimson, and the two crosses on a blue field were placed in the upper corner. This flag was called the Cromwell flag. The Colonies used the King's colors, and when the Cromwell flag was adopted (1707), used it with modifications, as placing a pine tree on a white field, in lieu of the crosses, this, and The plain white flag with a pine tree, were regarded as the flags of If the Japanese government is meditating no more than a Monroe Doctrine for the Far East and if that doctrine is to be expressed in the terms of our own, there is probably no special cause for complaint on our part. The Monroe Doctrine does not undertake to limit the legitimate trade advance of any European nation which desires to set up commercial relations with any American state. It seeks solely to prevent the seizure of American territory and the establishment here of foreign suzerainty at the expense of any of the American republics. To such a doctrine the United States has always been ready to subscribe, no matter where it may be applied, for we have never coveted another's lands and such colonial territory as we now have was thrust OFFICE PHONES HOME 753-1 SUNSET 341-J.

There were many conflicting statements between the two sides, and much spiritied discussion took place. Col. Weinstock advised that the growers and factories jointly provide for an immediate and thorough survey of the beet growing districts of Southern California, so that the actual cost of production per acre may be deflintely ascertained, and that this be used as a basis upon which the controversy may be settled. The matter is of serious moment, as without the growing of beets, the sugar factories will have to close down, while the growers declare there is no advantage in going ahead with this class of crops unless they receive more profit than sugar beets. The home guards are falling away in attendance at the weekly drills, and unless more interest is taken in the organization it is believed that disbandment will ensue. A number of members have of late been endeavoring to enthuse new life into the guards, but the apathetic spirit is hard to overcome.
