FARM ADVISORY LOOKED UPON WITH FAVOR MASS MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT, OCT. 30, AT FREMONT, TO ADVOCATE ITS CREATION PROF. R. S. VAILE OF RIVERSIDE ADDRESSED BOARD OF TRADE ON SUBJECT Prof. R. S. Vaile, of the citrus experiment station at Riverside, addressed the meeting of the board of trade Monday evening in reference to giving as much publicity as possible to the creation of the office of farm adviser. The board of trade will take the initiative in calling a mass meeting of farmers and horticulturists, and it was decided to hold a meeting at Fremont school next Tuesday evening, October 30 to discuss the proposition. Prof. Vaile said it was the purpose of the agricultural experiment station to have a county farm adviser in every county in the country if possible. chambers of commerce, and funds are needed for that purpose. Anaheim's quota is $50, but as yet the sum has not been secured. The secretary has sent notices to various local corporations asking for aid, but donations are slow coming in. The sum is small, but it is the intention to have those mostly interested help fight the merger as announced. Another communication was received from the war department relative to raising funds to create wholesome amusements for soldiers at the front. It was advocated that since the war Y. M. C. A. has already taken charge of this matter in a thoroughly efficient way there is no need for further expenditures of money along these lines, and the board of trade decided that they would not enlist in this new drive for funds. More time was granted the committee to prepare the roster of the Liberty Soldiers. It is proposed to secure the names of everyone who has joined the colors and have them arranged in a panel which will be placed in the post office lobby. WHY SHOULD THE FARMER BUY LIBERTY BONDS If all the other classes in the United States should lie down and refuse to buy, the farmers should rally to the Monday evening in reference to giving as much publicity as possible to the creation of the office of farm adviser. The board of trade will take the initiative in calling a mass meeting of farmers and horticulturists, and it was decided to hold a meeting at Fremont school next Tuesday evening, October 30 to discuss the proposition. Prof. Vaile said it was the purpose of the agricultural experiment station to have a county farm adviser in every county in the country if possible. That organization has a fund of $78,000 to be devoted for that purpose in this state. If the farmers want such a station it is up to them so to do. Each county may have one adviser, and assistants are also appointed as needed. The farmers are called upon to furnish funds for office expenses together with such incidentals as are necessary, totalling something like $2000 per year. Prof. Vaile gave a learned discourse upon the subject which was interesting and instructive. The object of the adviser is not one of control, but of counsel and advice. He is to tell the farmers what is best for them to do in tilling the soil, and what crops are best suited to the various soils. While the adviser is supposed to be a practical man, still if he finds subjects that are difficult to solve he has the power to secure professional men from the universities to impart the information desired. The farm adviser really comes under the head of national defense because the farmers through his advice will be put in such shape to get out of the soil all that is possible from a productive view point. Roy K. Bishop, horticultural commissioner, also addressed the meeting. His purpose was to get the farmers interested in the project. He has been devoting the best part of his life to horticultural pursuits but says he has just commenced. There is something beneficial to learn every day, and he would be pleased to see the farmers take up the proposition in earnest and prepare themselves thoroughly along scientific lines in that all branches of the industry may be carried along on lines best suited to all. Already 150 farmers in the county have signed up for the farm bureau, but the purpose is to enlist farmers all over the county in creating the office. Many subjects of vast importance are continually coming up for solution, and by unified action much good can be accomplished through thiserty Soldiers. It is proposed to secure the names of everyone who has joined the colors and have them arranged in a pannel which will be placed inhte post office lobby. WHY SHOULD THE FARMER BUY LIBERTY BONDS If all the other classes in the United States should lie down and refuse to buy, the farmers should rally to the flag and buy, buy, buy, Liberty Bonds as long as they had a cent to invest. I do not wish to appeal to farmers to buy bonds because they are good investments, writes Herbert Quick. They are good investments as any good business man can see. They are safety itself. Nothing can ever throw doubt on them as investments. Many farmers are holding lands which do not pay them more than two to three percent after the rents are collected, the repairs kept up, insurance paid, taxes settled. If all the actual and retired farmers in the United States would put in Liberty bonds the money they could get for lands which pay less than the Liberty bonds will pay, they alone could buy all the bonds to be issued. Liberty bonds, pay four per cent. They are the best security for loans at the banks when the owner wants a loan. They are cheaper to carry than the land. A man may buy Liberty bonds and forget about them except to collect the interest every six months. But that is not the main reason why we should buy, and buy, and keep on buying as long as any are offered. The farmer should buy Liberty bonds because the value of his farm, the chance to make a peaceful American living, the very right to an independent life is staked on this war. The German empire threatens the world. It seeks to take from us the very thing that makes our farms valuable. What is the value of a farm anyhow, except the privilege of living a free American life on a particular piece of land. Take that away, and your farm becomes a thing which is worthless. Germany is out to conquer the world. Germany still has the chance to crush Russia, France, Italy, and Great Britain. If she crushes them, she crushes us; for we are in the war until the finish. If Germany wins our lands will at once be mortgaged for all the terrible struggles which will then be upon us. The "Anaheim Elk" is staged by the local purpose of raising fund. There will be tertainment in Anaheim Tuesday, Oct. 30, at night on Saturday by Foley & Burk's car been engaged as th but there will be vented and manip themselves.

The managers p features and spea ante that there wi ing every minute fr night from Oct. 30 Already 150 farmers in the county have signed up for the farm bureau, but the purpose is to enlist farmers all over the county in creating the office. Many subjects of vast importance are continually coming up for solution, and by unified action much good can be accomplished through this organization. Meetings could be held regularly and all matters of interest could be discussed in that the greatest good should come to the greatest number. Prof. Valle will be in attendance at the meeting next Tuesday evening and every one interested should be present. Prof. Valle is thoroughly practical and it is within the range of possibility that his services may be secured by the county should the people decide to creat the office of farm adviser. Men who know how to advise are those whom the people are looking for, and were the right man secured he would at once become a valued asset to the various horticultural interests of the county. It is desired that a rousing meeting of farmers be held upon the date mentioned. Active committees have the matter in hand and all our wide awake citizens are ready to help bring about a satisfactory solution of the subject, which means much to the entire countryside. It is the purpose to unify the farmers along practical lines. Secretary Whitaker reported having interviewed residents of Los Alamitos in reference to the telephone merger, and was informed that they would prefer to remain in the Long Beach district rather than be annexed to this county. The matter of protesting against the tolls as planned is being vigorously handled by the associated Germany is out to conquer the world. Germany still has the chance to crush Russia, France, Italy, and Great Britain. If she crushes them, she crushes us; for we are in the war until the finish. If Germany wins our lands will at once be mortgaged for all the terrible struggle which will then be upon us to save ourselves from invasion. She will demand of us that we pay her indemnities running into the tens and perhaps hundreds of billions of dollars. All these indemnities, if Germany could defeat us, and the fight against them in case we alone are able to defeat her, will be a mortgage on every acre of farm land in the United States. Buy bonds, farmers, and help make the world safe for our wind of life—the life of democracy. Let us strike for freedom as did the farmers of New England at Lexington and Concord and the farmers of the south at King's Mountain. Let it never be said that the farmers of the United States refused their money while our young men are giving their lives for the holiest cause ever fought for. Let us strike for our altars and our fires—and for the farms we love. All these are at stake in this the greatest of all wars. Don't let your dollars be slackers. William Belding, who owns a grove at the corner of Seventeenth and Prospect avenue, Santa Ana, known locally as the Seeger place, says he has this season harvested 345 pounds of walnuts from one tree and sold them at 18½ cents per pound, or a total of $63.82.

It is also near enough for the Elks to begin preparations for their annual holiday distribution, not only of toys and confections that delight the childish heart, but of the more substantial things needed by indigent parents who are unable to provide comforts for their families. tertained and amused, and incidentally help a worthy cause. The municipal Christmas tree which proved such an attraction to the children big and little on two former occasions, will again be erected this time by the Elks. As these people make a success of every thing they undertake it is safe to predict that the tree and the entertainment will be worth seeing. In addition to its charitable feature the Elks lodge is patriotic. At the meeting last Wednesday evening every Elk who had not previously invested, purchased a Liberty Bond. We are not informed as to the total amount subscribed, but it was a considerable sum, and will assist Anaheim in making up its allotment. NOTED LECTURER TALKS AT THURSDAY LUNCHEON Dr. Frederick Monson Speaks on Conditions in Mexico Those who braved the Santa Ana zephyr Thursday and attended the business men's luncheon, were repaid by hearing an interesting address on Mexico, delivered by Dr. Frederick Monson, who is lecturing throughout Southern California, and has spoken several times at the Fremont school auditorium.

DON'T BE A SLACKER—BE A PATRIOT Extraordinary efforts are being made this week by the committee in charge of the Liberty Loan campaign to secure the amount of subscription allotted to this city. Anaheim, as well as the balance of Orange county, fell woefully short of the allotment in the first drive, the county falling to come up to expectations by $700,000, while Anaheim subscribed only $45,000, less than one third the amount assigned to her.

It is also near enough for the Elks to begin preparations for their annual holiday distribution, not only of toys and confections that delight the childish heart, but of the more substantial things needed by indigent parents who are unable to provide comforts for their families. Charity is one of the chief tenets of the Elks and each Christmas time they procure a list of all persons who are in need and of all children who are not likely to be made happy by a visit at their homes by Santa Claus. Each lodge spends hundreds of dollars at every holiday season for food, fuel, clothing, toys and confectionery, these articles being distributed either on Christmas eve or Christmas day. The "Anaheim Elks Charity Jubilee" is staged by the long-horned herd for the purpose of raising this Christmas fund. There will be five days of entertainment in Anaheim, beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 30, and ending at midnight on Saturday of the same week. Foley & Burk's carnival company has been engaged as the main attraction, but there will be outside stunts invented and manipulated by the Elks themselves. There are twenty-two concessions with the carnival company, and aside from a small percentage of the receipts paid to the managers every nickel taken in goes into the charity fund. Every Elk gives his services without pay, consequently the expense account to be deducted from the receipts is insignificant. Several hundred dollars will be turned into the fund through this jubilee, and it will be expended where it will do the most good. The Foley & Burk company is one of the most popular amusement aggregations on the Pacific coast. It is getting more popular each year, because it is adding constantly new stunts to its concessions, and has weeded out all objectionable features. The shows will be worth the price of admission, and the money you pay them will be used in an excellent cause. The managers promise many new features and special events, and guarantee that there will be something doing every minute from noon until midnight from Oct. 30 to Nov. 3rd—five Dr. Frederick Monson Speaks on Conditions in Mexico Those who braved the Santa Ana zephyr Thursday and attended the business men's luncheon, were repaid by hearing an interesting address on Mexico, delivered by Dr. Frederick Monson, who is lecturing throughout Southern California, and has spoken several times at the Fremont school auditorium. The doctor was introduced by Prof. J. L. Van der Veer, principal of the Anaheim schools, who acted as toastmaster. Dr. Monson has traveled extensively and accumulated much material for his lectures, which are educational, as they tell of conditions existing in little known countries. His talk on Mexico is an exceedingly interesting one, as much has transpired in that bandit-ridden land during the past few years that has not been given to the public. There is one class there, he said, working to keep the peons in slavery, and another class that honestly striving to better conditions there. He paid his respects to the leaders of the various revolutionary forces that have been drenched Mexican soil with blood since the overthrow of Diaz. One of the chief points in his lecture was the exposition of the German intrigues by which the Kaiser's government sought to bring about a declaration of war against the United States in order to keep us occupied at home so we would be unable to resent the outrages perpetrated upon our people on the ocean. On the island of St. Thomas, which the United States recently purchased in order to establish a naval station for the protection of the Panama canal, the speaker said he was informed by German officers that the time would come when Germany would need that harbor, and they would simply come and take possession of it, the Americans being unable to prevent it. T. D. Sexton, Orange county manager of the Liberty Loan drive, talked a few moments at the close of Dr. Monson's address, and besought the people to subscribe liberally and raise the amount required of this city. C. S. TROUTMAN AND PARTY RETURN FROM IOWA Gathered Several Recruits and Brought Them Here to Spend the Winter charge of the Liberty Loan campaign to secure the amount of subscription allotted to this city. Anaheim, as well as the balance of Orange county, fell woefully short of the allotment in the first drive, the county failing to come up to expectations by $700,000, while Anaheim subscribed only $45,000, less than one third the amount assigned to her. Orange county's defection was a source of wonder to the officials in charge of the work in this Federal Reserve district, as it was expected, because of our wealth and extraordinary prosperity, the allotment would be heavily over-subscribed. In this second campaign to raise three billion dollars for the prosecution of the war for democracy, Anaheim is expected to purchase bonds to the amount of $204,000, and Orange county's total is fixed at $1,452,000. These figures represent only 12 percent of the bank deposits. The big drive for the sale of Liberty bonds started in Anaheim Monday morning by the Liberty Loan committee. This committee is composed of thirty-two of the leading business men of the city, with A. B. McCord chairman, J. H. Whitaker secretary, and J. F. Ahlborn chairman of the publicity committee. All but ten of these committeeemen started out Monday morning, each accompanied by a companion of his own choosing outside the committee, and each pair have a designated territory assigned to them. They will make a house to house campaign, and it is hoped, for the credit of this, the most prosperous little city in the prosperous Southland, that when Saturday night comes Anaheim's $204,000 will have been subscribed, and the word "slacker" cannot be plastered on the fair name of this city. The members of the committee who are now busy soliciting are F. A. Backs, Jr., C.F.

Thursday night, Nov. 1, will be Santa Ana night, with more music and parades, and Friday will be childrens' night, when a big doll baby parade will take place at 7 p.m., for all little girls under 11 years. It will be necessary to have a doll buggy, with doll therein, all to be dressed as prettily as possible. Three prizes will be awarded and every little girl taking part will also receive free admission to the Dog and Pony circus. At the Jubilee grounds Foley & Burk will have a host of wonderful things to show, from a merry-go-round, to ride in a Ferris wheel to carry you away through space to a submarine to take you down under the sea.

C. S. TROUTMAN AND PARTY RETURN FROM IOWA Gathered Several Recruits and Brought Them Here to Spend the Winter C. S. Troutman, Mrs. Troutman, and John Wenger, who left here in an automobile on July 25 for a visit to their old home in Iowa, have returned bringing a number of recruits with them. The party on its return consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Troutman, Mrs. W. R. Troutman, their daughter-in-law and her little son, Mr. and Mrs. John Wenger, and Mr. and Mrs. Logan Stull. Mr. Troutman, Mr. Wenger and Mr. Stull came through in an auto, arriving here Saturday night, the balance of the party coming on the train, reaching here Monday evening. The visitors will spend the winter here, returning to Iowa in the spring, and Mr. Troutman expects to convince them before the date of their departure arrives, that this is a mighty good place for a permanent stay. Mrs. Stull is a daughter of Mrs. George A. Mills, Mr. and Mrs. Troutman had a most enjoyable visit with their old friends in the Hawkeye state. Drs. Johnston, Clark & Wickett have leased the Iowa house, opposite the sanitarium on South Claudina street, and are moving their offices into it. They recently purchased the Kistler residence with the expectation of erecting on the ground a two-story office building, but have postponed their building plans, since their services may be needed in the war.

The ten men on the committee who do not take the field are the chairman and secretary, who are busy with office work, some who are doing double duty this week in order to release a member of the firm, or those who are working outside. There are no slackers on the committee. They are neglecting their private affairs and giving their services for nothing. Few people in Anaheim are refusing to subscribe, although many can afford but a small amount. Nearly everybody is willing to make sacrifices in order to swell the fund. Capitalists, business men, laborers and women are all lining up, and even the high school boys, fired with a spirit of patriotism, are purchasing bonds. All the banks in the city are devoting much time to the work. C.E.Holcomb of the First National and American Savings, A.B.McCord of the German-American, W.A.Dolan of the Anaheim National, and C.A.Boege of the Southern County, are all neglecting their own business, in order to assist the cause, and the banks by their liberality are making it easy for people to buy bonds who could not otherwise do it without their assistance. Many people have a wrong idea of Liberty Bonds. They think they must have the full amount in cash and after purchasing the bond the money is tied up until the bond becomes due. This is all wrong. A bond can be purchased on credit, and any person with an income can easily pay for one. Besides they are collateral for a loan, and are negotiable, readily selling at any time. It is the opinion of financiers that they will be selling at a premium at the close of the war, and it LOAN ISS ON WEEK CAMPAIGN BECOMMITTEEALE OF SUBSCRIBE $204, A SLACKER TRIOT Ports are being the committee in Loan campaign of subscription Anahiem, as well range county, fell allotment in the falling to come $700,000, while only $45,000, less count assigned to defection was a the officials in this Federal Re- is predicted they will even reach $1.20 on the dollar. Liberty bonds are mortgages upon the United States, they are in the form of engraved certificates bearing the guarantee of the government and people of the United States to repay in gold the full amount loaned, with 4 per cent interest every year. Liberty Bonds are as safe as the United States. They are better than gold. You should buy them because we are at war. Because we must have dollars as well as men in the fight for freedom. Because every bond you buy helps to win the war. Because they are the safest investment in the world today. You can buy them for cash or on credit. Many banks advance as much as 75 per cent of par value on the bonds. Some use the following plan: For each $50 subscribed pay $1 down, $9 on Nov. 15, 1917, $20 on Dec. 15, 1917, $20 on January 15, 1918. Others on terms of $1 down and $1 a week for each $50 bond. You can also buy a $50 bond by paying $5 down, $5 per month for eight months a. ' $5.75 on the tenth month. You can purchase your bond through any bank or department store. Every dollar you pay goes to the government. No commissions are charged to you or anyone. Don't be a slacker. The entire population of the United States is enlisted in this war, and each individual can do his bit in some department..

The entire population of the United States is enlisted in this war, and each individual can do his bit in some department.. The boys who are going into the trenches to risk their lives for our preservation expect us to protect them with our dollars, the Red Cross women are doing the work required of them, and the men who are unfit for service in the army can loan the government money with which to prosecute the war. Money is the backbone of war, and if we fail to provide it we have lost, before we get into the fight. We have entered the greatest war in the history of the world. We have joined forces with the democratic nations of Europe for the purpose of upholding our sacred rights and assisting in the overthrow of an autocracy that sought to dominate the world. Already the direct expenditure on the war by European governments is estimated at one hundred seven and one-half billion dollars. Nine million seven hundred and fifty thousand lives have been lost in the war. Twenty-three and a half million have been wounded. Twelve million men have been permanently disabled. There have been four million and a quarter prisoners taken. Six billion dollars in property has been destroyed. It is further estimated that forty million fighting men are now on the various fronts. The conflict of democracy against autocracy is a mighty one. It requires the cash and sacrifice of the people. The people will do the sacrificing, it is all for America, and for the establishment of democracy throughout the earth. Buy a bond now. Subscription closes Saturday, Oct. 27. PECK FILES BOND FOR MORE THAN TWO MILLIONS Head of Anaheim Sugar Factory Executor of Houk Estate A bond of $2,100,000, said to be the largest ever required in the probate court at Los Angeles was fixed by Judge Rives, as the amount to be furnished by A. R. Peck, president of the big companies comprising the Orange County Firemen's association, met at Masonic Temple Thursday night and enjoyed a banquet in addition to conducting a business meeting. City Attorneys, and city marshals from a number of the towns were present as well as several others interested in the matter of fire fighting. Mont Jackson of Santa Ana president of the association, was toastmaster, and after the excellent feed provided by the ladies of the Eastern Star had been disposed of he called upon F. Grant White for an address. Mr. White spoke briefly on the value of co-operation, declaring it the second best word in English language, the first being "Patriotism." Mr. White told of his disagreeable experience with the Santa Ana wind that prevailed that day, stating that it turned his car around, slammed it against the side of the house and pinned it there. Speeches were made by City Attorney Ames of this city, City Attorney Garrett of Orange, City Attorney Coyle of Fullerton, Trustee Stark, Chief Allen of Fullerton, and several others. Mr. Ames stated that in his younger days he yearned to be a fireman, and his chief ambition was to slide down the pole in the fire house. No calling, he said, involves more risk and is given less credit than that of fireman. Mr. Garrett stated that he was willing to do anything in his power to promote the spirit of cooperation among the Orange county companies. The fire department in any town, he declared was a powerful factor. He commended the men in helmets for their bravery and their effective work. Mr. Coyle said that at one time Fullerton had an ordinance providing a premium of $5 to the member of the company who reached the fire first. He came near getting the premium on two or three occasions being only second to the first man, and on one occasion he was first but got on the wrong side of the building and while he was trying to right himself received a stream of water from the hose of the man who won the money. As representative of the Anaheim board of trustees William Stark announced that the board favored cooperation and would consent to the truck being taken wherever it was needed. The small communities, he said, were equipped for fighting only small fires, and if a fire got beyond their control it was the duty of other departments to go to the rescue. PECK FILES BOND FOR MORE THAN TWO MILLIONS Head of Anaheim Sugar Factory Executor of Houk Estate A bond of $2,100,000, said to be the largest ever required in the probate court at Los Angeles was fixed by Judge Rives, as the amount to be furnished by A. R. Peck, president of the Anaheim sugar factory, second executor in the estate of the late George W. Houk, millionaire manufacture of automobile wheels, who died recently. In making his will Houk left his entire estate, valued at $1,250,000, in trust with Attorney Joseph Musgrave, who also was named as executor to serve without bonds. Another provision in the document, however, named Mr. Peck, as second executor, but the clause waiving bond did not appear in this provision. The court stated that the law would have to be observed, fixing the bond at double the amount of the estimated value of the personal property. Musgrove already has been appointed special administrator to look after the Red Mountain ranch in San Diego county, which forms a portion of the estate. The will was admitted to probate. FOOD ADMINISTRATION MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN The Women's Committee, Orange county council of defense, is making plans for canvassing the entire county for food administration members.
