CHICKEN THIEVES GET PENITENTIARY SENTENCE Orangethorpe Raiders Draw From One To Fifteen Years in San Quentin Since the arrest of Perfecto Trujillo and Jose de Leon of Los Angeles some months ago, the wholesale chicken thievery on Orangethorpe avenue ceased. They were arrested by officers at Artesia with several dozen chickens in their possession. At their trial Saturday before Judge West the Mexicans claimed that they found the chickens by the side of the road tied up in six sacks. Some of the heads were missing but they accounted for this by declaring that they flopped out of the wagon and the wheels of the wagon ran over their necks. After hearing their story Judge West gave each one an indeterminate sentence of from one to fifteen years in San Quentin. On hearing the sentence Mrs. Trijillo fainted, while Mrs. De Leon shook her fist at the court. BIG ACREAGE TO BE DRAINED FOR BEETS Growers Want Great District in the Downey Tract A plan to drain a tract of 50,000 acres lying between Downey and the Pacific ocean, and converting it into a beet field, was outlined at a meeting of the beet growers held at the Women's Club House, Hynes, a few days ago. The plan is to organize a drainage district for this tract, which lies east of San Gabriel and west of Los Angeles River. The expenses will be met by the assessment plan. The details of getting out a petition were placed in the hands of Oswald Wilson and he started the work TROUBLE STILL EXISTS IN SUGAR CIRCLES Federal Government May Settle Differences Between Factory and Grower That the federal intervention will occur if the relations between some of the sugar factories and the growers become more strained than they are at present, is the opinion of people who are watching the fight now being waged between the association and the companies. "With sugar as scarce as it is today, and with France and England practically destitute of this product, this is no time for petty squabbles," said one man last week. "I believe the end of the next month will see federal authority telling the beet growers what to plant and explaining to the sugar factories how much they shall pay, and how they shall pay it. This condition is too serious to be handled in any way that might jeopardize American interests. The quarrel between the growers and the factories is something that comes up every so many years. Southern Michigan introduced it back in 1895 and it has since found its way out through Colorado and Utah to this country. There has always been friction between grower and refiner." Others are expressing the opinion that the government will call a hearing, at which the interests involved will be invited to be present, either voluntarily or through subpoena, and at that time the question of proper compensation shall be established. The idea of federal commandeering of the fields and factories is also spoken of.

The plan is to organize a drainage district for this tract, which lies east of San Gabriel and west of Los Angeles River. The expenses will be met by the assessment plan. The details of getting out a petition were placed in the hands of Oswald Wilson, and he started the work which promises to have far reaching results for Los Angeles county. While there are five large sugar beet factories in Orange county, there are none in Los Angeles county, and if the drainage district is inaugurated it is expected that three large factories will be built in that county. The output of the Orange county factories is approximately 500,000 tons a year. The proposed output will amount to 750,000 tons annually. A large quantity of sugar will have to be shipped abroad, especially to France. It is stated that the output of sugar from this state must be increased. It is proposed to do it by this drainage district, a portion of which is water logged. Charles E. Haas was appointed attorney for the district. Sugar men already have contracted next year's beets at $7 a ton. The price last year was $4.50 a ton. The increased price means that the beet industry will have a tremendous impetus and that after the war there probably will be a few beet millionaires. Mr. Wilson conferred with Engineer Regan of the flood control department with the view of having a map of the district prepared. The Alamitos sugar factory may be enlarged to meet the new field which will be opened up. DEAD LION AN AID TO PURSE John Opid, who conducts the Opid resort, on the west fork of the San Gabriel, north of Mt. Wilson, appeared a few days ago in Los Angeles at the office of Supervisor Charlton with the largest mountain lion captured there, measuring six feet and eleven inches from tip to tip. The killing of the bast was a good thing financially for Mr. Opid. He was paid $20 by the state for the scalp of the animal, received $16 for displaying the carcass in the window of a sporting goods store and later on sold it to that government will call a hearing, at which the interests involved will be invited to be present, either voluntarily or through subpoena, and at that time the question of proper compensation shall be established. The idea of federal commandeering of the fields and factories is also spoken of. GUARDING POTASH PLANT The war time shortage of potash that has resulted because Germany has heretofore been the principal source of supply for that product has given a great stimulus on the Pacific coast to the production of potash from kelp, which is to be found in vast beds in the ocean. On the water front of San Diego is an extensive potash plant which is only two years old and is engaged in turning out large quantities of several different products. The uninterrupted operation of the works is of such vital importance at this time that an armed guard, equipped with machine guns and powerful searchlights, is on duty day and night, while patrol boats ply the water front. The employees are subjected to the most rigid examination before entering upon their tasks. THE MISUSED "U" Why do some modern architects assume that U is V and carve in stone that palpable and bold absurdity?

He was paid $20 by the state for the scalp of the animal, received $16 for displaying the carcass in the window of a sporting goods store, and later on sold it to a man in Pasadena for $100, who expects to have it mounted. Opid says he had noted the tracks of the lion for a long time in the vicinity of his mountain ranch, but never saw it until Friday morning. With a 30-30 bullet he struck it in the back, killing it instantly. SOME BEET GROWERS DECLINE TO SIGN That members of the Associated Beet Growers of Southern California have decided to stand out against signing the new contract offered by the Southern California sugar factories a week ago has been announced by Attorney Clyde Bishop and Field Manager W. E. Webster for the growers. They say that practically none of the owners and lessees of the 65,000 acres belonging to the association will sign the contracts, which propose $7 a ton for 15 per cent beets if sugar sells for 7 cents. The association is holding out on two points. It wants a minimum price of $7.50 for sugar beets and wants a chemist and tare man named by the association, placed in each factory. W. N. Draper, manager of the Southern California Sugar company, said that his factory has no fight with the growers and that the new contract is being signed by many of them. An exchange says one of the reasons that farmers continually oppose bond issues for road building is that the bonds are made to apply to main roads leading from city or town to town, while the farmers live on the township roads which they use more than the county roads. Until road expenditures are evenly distributed over township and county roads this condition seems bound to continue, as the farmer feels that he is being called upon to pay his share of the county roads for the general public, which he has to improve or keep up his township roads at local expense. It will take more than argument to rectify this condition. ASSESSMENT WORK SUSPENDED Advice has just been received by the state mineralogist, to the effect that upon October 5, 1917, a federal law known as public resolution No. 12, took effect, suspending the requirements of annual assessment work on all unpatented mining claims during the years 1917 and 1918, provided that every claimant of any such mining claim, in order to obtain the benefit of the resolution, shall file, or cause to be filed, in the office where the location notice or certificate is recorded, on or before Dec. 31 of each of the years 1917 and 1918, a notice of his desire to hold said mining claim under this resolution provided further that this resolution shall not apply to oil placer locations or claims. Anaheim Gazette WATER COMPANY MAY PUT DOWN NEW WELL Member Fined for Taking Out Gate After Finishing Irrigating The pumping plant committee and the superintendent of the Anaheim Union Water company were instructed to investigate the cost of a new well at pumping plant No. 3 at the meeting of the directors Saturday, and were also instructed to get an estimate for the repairs necessary to put the pit in shape. L. W. Wright, representing D. L. Wright was found guilty of breaking the rules of the company, by taking out the gate after he had finished irrigation. On motion duly seconded Mr. Wright was fined $10.00, same to be remitted during good behavior. Director Sherwood reported that at the meeting of the Tri-Counties Foreststation committee, which would be held in Riverside on Nov. 16, the question of river protection on the Santa Ana river would be discussed. On motion duly seconded the following transfers of stock were granted: 2 from Jos. Raezlet to C. L. Dean, 11 from H. Schindler to A. F. Withee, 3 from D. E. Polly to A. H. Maas and 8 from J. Brunworth to Ben Dauser. On motion duly seconded the secretary and superintendent were instructed to write the Pacific Electric Co., in regard to the work near O. A. Stovall's property and the president and secretary were instructed to O. K. the map when corrected to show the exact location of the small line. Report of the Amalgamated Co., and the St. Helens Petroleum company for the month of September were received and filed. On motion duly seconded the superintendent was instructed to have the castor bean trees east of the Yorba reservoir, on the old Anaheim ditch, every day cannot be questioned. Local committeemen who have talked with Federal reserve representatives find that he has sources of information concerning a man's investments that are not available for the use of the committee. The Federal authorities propose to ask the question, "Why?" It is declared that failure on the part of men of wealth to subscribe to Liberty Loan bonds in proportion to their wealth is going to mean a conscription through the Federal Reserve Banks. INCREASED CROP OF SPUDS The government forecast of the first war crop of potatoes is 452,000,000 bushels, an increase of 100,000 bushels over last year, according to an announcement by L. B. Sweet, head of the potato division of the U. S. food administration board. "We are now facing the problem of utilizing this 100,000,000 excess to the greatest advantage of the farmers who have grown them and the public which will use them" said Mr. Sweet. "Everybody can do something to bring this about. Hotels and restaurants are in a favorable position to help now that meatless and wheatless days are at hand, by shoving potatoes prominently to the front. IS IOWA WET OR DRY, That magnificent old Hawkeye state presents the most amazing contemptions that ever came to notice. We have heard of individuals who were shaky on the wet and dry question, and have even known of folks that were suspected of trying to be both, but that the commonwealth yclept Iowa should ever have done anything so contradictory we would not have organization was effected. He pointed out the many advantages to be gained by a farm bureau and the services that a farm adviser can be to the bureaus throughout the county and to the individual farmer as well. "The adviser may not know everything," Prof. Valle said, "but his technical knowledge in conjunction with his practical experience will enable him to readily ascertain any information desired. Just as it is with the doctor or the lawyer They can not off hand answer every question put to them, but they know how to get the desired information, and the farm adviser holds the same relation to the farmer in the latter's labors as the family doctor does to his health or the lawyer in his legal matters." S. W. McCulloch, who acted as chairman of the meetings was made president of the organization and Charles S. Knowlton secretary. The membership committee is composed of S. S. Twombly, A. D. Stewart, L. E. Hampton and W. F. Coulter. SIMPLIFYING THE DRAFT Provost Marshal General Crowder has solved the problem of getting registered men without cause for exemption first into the army, and calling last those with dependents or industrial need for them at home. All men in the second draft will be divided into five classes. Those in the first class will be without dependents or industrial demand for them at home. Those in the fifth class will be cripples and others who could not serve under any circumstances. In the second, third and fourth classes will be those who are needed at home or in the trenches in varying degrees. The second class will not be called regard to the work near O. A.

WILL WANT TO KNOW WHY A representative of the Federal Reserve Bank, located in San Francisco, is in the county and will interview a number of people of wealth whose subscriptions to the liberty Loan have not been nearly what they ought to be. This representative will want to know why a $50 bond was taken when the bond should have been $5000 or $10- IS IOWA WET OR DRY, That magnificent old Hawkeye state presents the most amazing contemptions that ever came to notice. We have heard of individuals who were shaky on the wet and dry question, and have even known of folks that were suspected of trying to be both, but that the commonwealth yclept Iowa should ever have done anything so contradictory we would not have guessed. Truth is that Iowa is both wet and dry and nobody knows which. It has statutory prohibition, and yet the voters by a narrow squeak last week refused to approve a prohibition amendment to the constitution. How one legislature, that of 1914, would adopt statutory prohibition by an overwhelming vote; another legislature, that of 1916, give it tacit approval by letting it alone, and yet the people of that state by a majority of 887 in over 428,000 votes cast should turn thumbs down for prohibition, passeth understanding. At the presidential election in 1916 Iowa cast 515,506 votes. In the late dry amendment election, only 428,544 expressed their view as to state policy, a shortage of 87,000 votes. Of course that is no explanation. It is a fair rule to go by to figure that the people who did not vote would vote about the same way and in the same proportion as those who were at the ballot box. But the fact is patent that almost 90,000 voters didn't care. Perhaps they felt that statutory prohibition is good enough, but the result is to persuade observers in other states that it is about a fifty-fifty situation in Iowa. FAVOR FARM ADVISER Fullerton farmers have demonstrated their preference for a farm adviser in Orange county by organizing a farm bureau. Temporary officers have been elected and a committee on membership appointed. Prof. R. S. Vaile of the experimental station at Riverside was present at the meeting at which temporary or... All men in the second draft will be divided into five classes. Those in the first class will be without dependents or industrial demand for them at home. Those in the fifth class will be cripples and others who could not serve under any circumstances. In the second, third and fourth classes will be those who are needed at home or in the trenches in varying degrees. The second class will not be called until the first class is exhausted; the third class will not be called until the second is exhausted, etc. This not only will simplify the draft machinery, but meet the objections of farmers and munitions makers. General Crowder announced that with the completion of the draft of the first army of 687,000 men, a new system will be installed for the creation of succeeding armies, which will greatly lessen the labors of the local and district boards. So far has this been accomplished, that it is believed that under the new system, 80 per cent of the work will be eliminated, while the forms to be used will not exceed 20 in number as compared with approximately 182 forms which the present system requires. DID THEY STEAL THE BEANS? Sheriff Jackson is looking for someone who knows beans. He has a sack of beans at his office that have raised a question. J. O. Arkley of Garden Grove hired some Mexican to pick up lima beans left by the harvesters. He was to pay the Mexicans ten cents a pound for all beans they brought in. They brought in a neat full sack. Arkley concluded that the beans were threshed beans. He said they did not have the wrinkled side that distinguishes the bean that has been out in the weather. The Mexicans stoutly maintained that they picked the beans up on Arkley's land. The sheriff wants someone to look at those beans and tell him whether or not those beans are picked up beans or threshed beans.

A DAY OF PRAYER President Wilson by proclamation has declared Sunday, October 28, as a day of prayer for the success of the American arms, in accordance with the recent resolution of Congress. The president's proclamation follows: Whereas, the congress of the United States, by a concurrent resolution adopted on the fourth day of the present month of October, in view of the entrance of our nation into the vast and awful war which now afflicts the greater part of the world, has requested me to set apart by official proclamation a day upon which our people should be called upon to offer concerted prayer to Almighty God for His divine aid in the success of our arms: And, whereas, it behooves a great free people, nurtured as we have been in the eternal principles of justice and of right, a nation which has sought from the earliest days of its existence to be obedient to the divine teachings which have inspired it in the exercise of its liberties, to turn always to the Supreme Master and cast themselves in faith at His feet, praying for His aid and succor in every hour of trial, to the end that the great aims to which our fathers dedicated our power as a people may not perish among men, but be always asserted and defended with fresh ardor and devoution, and, through the divine blessings, set at last upon enduring foundations for the benefit of all the free peoples of the earth; Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, gladly responding to the wish expressed by Congress, do appoint October 28th, being the last Sunday of the present month, as a day of supplication and prayer for all the people of the nation, earnestly exhorting all my countrymen to observe the appointed day, according to their several faiths, in solemn prayer, that God's blessings may rest upon the high task which is the price at which one American chose to sell his career, his reputation and his prospects. Many a newspaper man will be sorry for Jimmy, not that he was caught, not that he is suffering the odium he deserves, that a young fellow so companionable and so bright should have turned a traitor to his country. Having so turned, let him take his medicine. Archibald had been in many wars as a correspondent. Never brilliant, he was fearless and enterprising, and deemed reliable. At peaceful intervals he lectured in this country with success. His last lecture tour was as representative of German propaganda. He appeared in Los Angeles, the hired agent of Prussiaism, his unclean gains already in his pockets. His old friends even then could not believe that he had been corrupted, and thought him merely weak in judgment. When von Papen was sent home Archibald for the first time showed openly that he was a creature of Germany. From that instant he was a "dead one." And there are others destined to join him. Unless formally adopted by Germany he must remain a man without a country. COME ACROSS OR THE GERMANS WILL If the Liberty loan is not fully subscribed, the failure will have as bad an effect in the world war as a great military defeat. If the American people do not respond to this call for funds, to the extent of largely oversubscribing this 3 billion dollar issue, it will be necessary to tax-the people more heavily than is now proposed. If we do not do our part by over-subscribing these Liberty loans, our boys at the front cannot do their part in defeating Germany, and if Germany is a victor in this war, we know that the money which we held back from the Liberty loan will be taken from us by force and with interest. We shall pay the interest instead of receiving Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, gladly responding to the wish expressed by Congress, do appoint October 28th, being the last Sunday of the present month, as a day of supplication and prayer for all the people of the nation, earnestly exhorting all my countrymen to observe the appointed day, according to their several faiths, in solemn prayer, that God's blessings may rest upon the high task which is laid upon us, to the end that the cause for which we give our lives and treasure may triumph and our efforts be blessed with high achievement. STRENGTH OF THE NATIONS At least 38,000,000 men are bearing arms in the war—27,500,000 for the Allies and 10,600,000 for the Central Powers, according to latest War Department compilations from published reports in various countries. These figures do not include naval personnel strength, which would raise the total several millions. Against Germany's 7,000,000, Austria's 3,000,000, Turkey's 300,000 and Bulgaria's 300,000, are arrayed the following armed forces: Russia, 9,000,000; France, 6,000,000; Great Britain, 5,000,000; Italy, 3,000,000; Japan, 1,400,000; United States more than 1,000,000; China, 541,000; Rumania, 320,000; Serbia, 300,000; Belgium, 300,000; Greece, 300,000; Portugal, 200,000; Montenegro, 40,000; Siam, 36,000; Cuba, 11,000; and Liberia, 400. San Marina and Panama also have samll forces under arms. ONE RUINED LIFE In recent exposures of Prussian poisoning, there is mention of a $5,000 item paid to J. F. J. Archibald. This tenant of largely oversubscribing this 3 billion dollar issue, it will be necessary to tax the people more heavily than is now proposed. If we do not do our part by over-subscribing these Liberty loans, our boys at the front cannot do their part in defeating Germany, and if Germany is a victor in this war, we know that the money which we held back from the Liberty loan will be taken from us by force and with interest. We shall pay the interest instead of receiving it. It is a well established fact that Germany intends if she wins the war to exact an indemnity from the United States many times the amount of our Liberty loans to repay her for the cost of the war. These are the distasteful alternatives of not answering our country's call for funds. A great oversubscription of the 2nd Liberty loan means as much as a great military victory. It will help shorten the war. It will save the lives of our own boys at the front.
