FOODSTUFFS MUST BE KEPT IN SANITARY ORDER Continued from Page One board relative to offering his services in the event that the city desired plans for a new hall. Mr. Ehlers says he lived at Pasadena, but after visiting here he decided to locate in this city. It was ordered that the city hall be appropriately decorated in honor of the forthcoming Elks' Charity Jubilee. Purple and white, and the Stars and Stripes, will be used in profusion in the decoration of the municipal building. Trustees Cook and Dwyer, as committeemen, reported having interviewed property owners on the south side of Center street, between Los Angeles and Lemon, and all in the middle of the block have said they would move back as soon as possible. Communications were received from C. G. Gillispie, chief sanitary engineer of the state board of health, and Mr. Hatcher, of Los Angeles, Southern California representative of the board, relative to the sewerage farm. The city has made application to the state board of health for permission to install another Imhaff tank at the farm. The state officers recommend that this improvement be made. Last August officials of the state board of health paid a visit to the local farm and declared that no nuisance then existed. Since then many new connections have been made to the sewerage system, and as a natural consequence the present tank has been overloaded. Engineer Steward three months ago suggested to the council that a new Imhoff tank be installed at once to relieve the situation, but, those things 27.70 for each inhabitant.

The great stream of oil spouts 130 feet into the air, far above the top of the derrick. Already two of the prepared reservoirs have been filled and others are being made ready, while pumps are working feverishly to take care of the tremendous overflow and save every gallon of the precious fluid. The gusher is what is known as Standard Oil test well No. 1, which reached oil at a depth of 2000 feet several months ago. Drilling was continued in the hope and expectation of developing a gusher. The word that success had been achieved traveled far over the Southland last week and among oil men everywhere the prediction was freely made that the Montebello field will surely become one of the most important in the United States, perhaps in the whole world. Less than a year ago the first well was sunk in the Standard's Montebello territory.

Last August officials of the state board of health paid a visit to the local farm and declared that no nuisance then existed. Since then many new connections have been made to the sewerage system, and as a natural consequence the present tank has been overloaded. Engineer Steward three months ago suggested to the council that a new imhoff tank be installed at once to relieve the situation, but, those things cannot be performed in a minute. Now comes the state board of health officials recommending that the new tank be installed and in that event, with proper disposition of the waters for irrigation, the farm will be sanitary, and in no event will a nuisance exist. The report of Mr. Hilcher will be found printed in another column. There was no report from the special committee appointed to look into the proposition of building a new city hall. The board is awaiting an opinion from the city attorney regarding some points of law before taking steps to proceed with the work. At present there is a sum of money in the general fund, which would be available for that purpose, but the total is insufficient to defray the entire cost of a new hall, estimated to cost from $25,000 to $30,000. It was the intention of the board to dispose of the machinery at the power plant, which at present is unused, and which, owing to the high cost of materials, could be disposed of at from 60 to 70 per cent of its original cost. It was estimated that from $8000 to $10,000 could be derived from the sale of this obsolete machinery. To this sum was to be added a sufficient amount from the general fund after next year's taxes came in. This money would finance the new building. The question has arisen, whether funds received from that source could be used in the erection of a city hall. Since the machinery was purchased with money derived from a bond issue, it is a moot question whether moneys derived from its sale could be used for any other purpose than for which it was originally intended. The city attorney is making a further investigation of the statutes relative thereto and will submit his report at the next meeting of the council. Without this money, there would be insufficient funds with which to erect the hall. It is further stated that another question has injected itself into the proceedings, which is, whether the city can contract continued in the hope and expectation of developing a gasher. The word that success had been achieved traveled far over the Southland last week and among oil men everywhere the prediction was freely made that the Montebello field will surely become one of the most important in the United States, perhaps in the whole world. Less than a year ago the first well was sunk in the Standard's Montebello territory. Today there are a dozen producing wells and fully sixty derricks. The field lies about a mile from the town of Montebello in the hills to the north and covers many square miles of territory. Its proximity to Los Angeles and tidewater makes the proving of this field as a big producing center of the highest importance, particularly at this time when California is making every effort to increase her oil production for the demands of war times. FULLERTON COUPLE IN DIVORCE COURT Dwight Hartman Denied Interlocutory Decree From His Wife Dwight Hartman a well known resident of Fullerton has been denied his interlocutory decree of divorce from Anna Hartman, as the prosecution was unable to establish the fact that Mrs. Hartman had been extremely cruel to her husband, that she had deserted him or that she had done any of the other things alleged. The interlocutory decree granted Hartman by default a few month ago was set aside as it was found Mrs. Hartman had not appeared because of misinformation. She employed Attorney Bishop to contest the case. It was found that the extreme cruelty which Hartman testified to was the throwing of a bottle at him once and the hurling of a flask iron at him another time. "The first time she threw something at you it must have been your fault, but if she threw something the second time, it was your fault." Judge Thomas told Hartman. Mrs. Hartman denied she had ever thrown anything at her husband. "Well, she wouldn't cook anything for me," said Hartman, who is a baker. "If you should step into my home in the evening or in the morning keeping them well." It is only these mentions asks housewives calling on theme day Week, the half workers will put in makers this way: "If each of us will wheat flour less per斤 of a year we'll have bushels of wheat for." "If we will use ounce of meat fats end of the year we'll 395,000 tons for them." "If each of us will less meat a day for have saved 4,400,000 with which to keep." "If each of us will less sugar a day for not only have saved sugar for the year,uced the retail price." Then they will find the situation for each "Food falls into classes: One class energy and vigor. blood, bone and flesh worn parts of our body." "There are only a classification that would like to have there will be more to our allies. Food classes following are body builders: "To keep up their self and your family to have you eat more sweet potatoes, rice iny, oatmeal, barley navy and lima beans nanas, chestnuts molasses honey, da peaches, raisins, f cakes, dried apples eggs, oleomargarine and fats, goose oil, soy beans." "The only things to conserve in this white bread, sugar butter, bacon, lard drippings and chick." "For the physical self and your family to have you eat rots, spinach, celery all fruits, all green whole grains, kidr peas, nuts, corn, buckwheat, poultry cheese." WHAT OUR COUNTY OWNS A taxpayer maintains the same relation toward his county that a stockholder maintains toward his company. It is natural, therefore, that he should be interested in the assets of the county which he helps to support. How many people in Orange county know, or could guess, within reasonable limits, the total value of the property the county uses in its business? Together, the 57 counties of California, at the beginning of the last preceding fiscal year, owned $74,855.351.10 worth of such property. A general division would have been worth "The first time she threw something at you it must have been your fault, but if she threw something the second time, it was your fault." Judge Thomas told Hartman. Mrs. Hartman denied she had ever thrown anything at her husband. "Well, she wouldn't cook anything for me," said Hartman, who is a baker. "If you should step into my home in the evening or in the morning you'd be likely to find me cooking, and yet I don't consider that I am cruelly treated," put in Attorney Bishop. Mrs. Hartman testified that she had not deserted Hartman. She stated that he went to Los Angeles, rented some rooms for her, told her she had better go there to live, moved her up there, bag and baggage, and later proceeded to file his divorce suit. DESERTERS The names of Jesus Gutieres of El Modena and Franklin Rodriquez of Santa Ana have been turned over to the sheriff's office as deserters for having failed to appear for mobilization. There is a standing reward of $50 offered by the government for the arrest and delivery of deserters from the army, but not until these two names are turned in to the adjutant general as deserters can the $50 be collected. The names of such men are first given to the sheriff's office and efforts made by the officers to arrest them. Paul I. Dougherty, farm adviser for Imperial county, has declined to accept the industrial exemption from army service offered him by the exemption board. ANAHEIM WOMEN ORGANIZE FOR ACTION Continued from Page One 000 women voters on the great register of the county, and she did not believe a single one would refuse to do her bit. Organization was effected by the election of Mrs. Ida Dutton president, and Mrs. E. L. Campbell secretary. Mrs. G. H. Goodale acted as chairman of the meeting and Mrs. Eva Boyd secretary. A meeting of the executive committee was called for Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. V. D. Loly, at which time the precinct chairmen will be selected. The big idea the food administration hopes to get across to the individual housewife's mind is: "The government is not asking the people to eat less food, but to eat different foods." There are certain commodities of which the world is short. These are also the ones which most readily lend themselves to compact shipments in our short supply of ocean tonnage to our European allies; and they are the foods of concentrated nutritive value most needed to keep up the spiritual morale of our allied European peoples and fighting men by keeping them well fed and contented. It is only these foods the government asks housewives to conserve. In calling on theme during Food Pledge Week, the half million volunteer workers will put it up to the home makers this way: "If each of us will use a pound of wheat flour less per week, at the end of a year we'll have saved 133,000,000 bushels of wheat for the war. 'If we will use one third of an ounce of meat fats less a day at the allow lice to take the results thereof. Failure is largely due to a careless and inexperienced attendant. It should be the duty of one person, and he careful and reliable, to attend to this work regularly. Supplement the regular feeds with a wet mash—fed crumbly. Feed all the chicks will clean up before going to roost, but none should be left in the trough, for it will sour. FARM ADVISER SYSTEM The state commission of horticulture favors the farm bureau and farm adviser system. County horticultural commissioners and inspectors will continue to act as executive of state and county laws, which is their primary duty. They will advise and direct concerning better methods of farm practice when called upon to do so if there is no farm adviser to thus serve or if their required duties do not interfere. The aim of the farm adviser is to make available the researches of the United States department of agriculture and of the several experiment stations and allied investigational agencies. The first duty of the farm adviser is to study the practices of the successful men and, having carefully analyzed the reasons for their success, to bring this knowledge to the less well-informed. Valuable as it is, however, it is not enough merely to spread within the county the practices of the more successful farmers. "Water can never rise higher than its source." Progress must come finally to a standstill unless the successful are in some way made more efficient. Since it is not humanly possible for any man to keep intimately informed concerning all phases of agricultural knowledge, a prime essential to the up in the big timber and snow belts. Weeks may be spent to advantage, whether one hunts with a gun or a camera or hunts not at all. HOW TO BUILD SILOS Believing that the feeding of silage made from sorghums increases the yield of a California dairy herd from 10 to 25 per cent, as compared with feeding merely alfalfa and grain, and believing silage of great value in feeding other livestock, the University of California is actively encouraging the erection of silos throughout the state. Now a pamphlet telling in simple and practical fashion just how to build a wood hoop silo has been written by J. B. Davidson, professor of agricultural engineering, and J. E. Etiles, assistant in agricultural extension in the university, and published by the university. It may be obtained free by writing to the college of agriculture at Berkeley, as also a recent pamphlet on "The Silo in California Agriculture" which tells how to use a silo and the advantage of feeding silage. The silo here described, pictured, and diagrammed, can be built at a cost of a dollar per ton capacity. The type of silo proposed consists of a concrete foundation, a diagonally braced hoop frame, and lining of staves of one-inch tongued and grooved lumber. Redwood is recommended as the most durable material, but standard four-inch Douglas fir flooring or good sugar pine are regarded as satisfactory. The silo should be so built that its wall will be impervious, to exclude the air and retain the moisture of the silage; the interior should be smooth and perpendicular, thus permitting the silage to settle properly; the silo should be strong and rigid, and properly supported with guy wires, or attached to adjoining buildings, so that it can resist the wind. Silos just such as the keepfing them well fed and contented. It is only these foods the government asks housewives to conserve. In calling on theme during Food Pledge Week, the half million volunteer workers will put it up to the home makers this way: “If each of us will use a pound of wheat flour less per week, at the end of a year we’ll have saved 133,000,000 bushels of wheat for the war. “If we will use one third of an ounce of meat fats less a day at the end of the year we will have saved 395,000 tons for the fight. “If each of us will eat one ounce less meat a day for a year, we will have saved 4,400,000 meat animals with which to keep up the fight. “If each of us will use one ounce less sugar a day for a year we will not only have saved 1,185,000 tons of sugar for the year, but will have reduced the retail price for all of us.” Then they will go on and outline the situation for each home this way: “Food falls into two great general classes: One class generates bodily energy and vigor. The other builds blood, bone and flesh and repairs the worn parts of our bodies. “There are only a few foods in each classification that the government would like to have you conserve so there will be more for us to export to our allies. Foods listed in both classes following are both energy and body builders: “To keep up the energy of yourself and your family we would like to have you eat more white potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, cornmeal, hominy, oatmeal, barley, peanuts, dried navy and lima beans, split peas, bananas, chestnuts apricots, syrups, molasses, honey, dates, prunes, dried peaches, raisins, figs, jellies, jams, cakes, dried apples, maple sugar, eggs, oleomargarine, vegetable oils and fats, goose oil, peanut butter and soy beans. “The only things we would like you to conserve in this classification are white bread, sugar, candies, cream, butter, bacon, lard, pork suet, beef drippings and chicken fat. “For the physical growth of yourself and your family we would like to have you eat more prunes, carrots, spinach, celery, turnips, onions, all fruits, all greens, all fresh salads, whole grains, kidney beans, lentils, peas, nuts, corn, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, poultry, game, fish and cheese.” Valuable as it is, however, it is not enough merely to spread within the county the practices of the more successful farmers. “Water can never rise higher than its source.” Progress must come finally to a standstill unless the successful are in some way made more efficient. Since it is not humanly possible for any man to keep intimately informed concerning all phases of agricultural knowledge, a prime essential to the success of a farm adviser is association with a large body of specialists to whom he can go for counsel and advice. Only a man of great physical endurance can stand the work that the farm adviser is called upon to do. In addition to working all day, answering inquiries and visiting farms, the farm adviser must attend three night meetings each week on a definite schedule, from which he does not usually return until the middle of the night. PUBLIC CAMP GROUND One of the best and most convenient automobile camp grounds in the state of California is maintained in Tulare by the board of trade and the city. The camp ground is located on J street, which runs north and south along the east side of the Southern Pacific tracks and is just south of the Santa Fe tracks. It is within three blocks of the business district of the city; restaurants hotels moving picture shows and garages. Tulare has a municipal swimming pool that is open to the public day and night. Free dances are given on the streets every Saturday night during the summer months. The camp ground is provided with plenty of shade city water—the best in the state—and modern toiletts. The ground is kept clean at all times. The camp ground is on the most direct route between San Francisco and Los Angeles and half way between the two cities. It is 68 miles from Sequoia National Park and Giant forest, which contains the largest grove of big trees in the world, and the biggest tree in the world. General Sherman. This is one of the most beautiful of America’s national parks and Tulare is the most convenient starting place for the run into the parks. Full information may be obtained from the CONSERVING FOOD That the campaign being conducted by both antional and state governments for food conservation and the prevention of waste is proving productive of great food savings is proven by reports just made to the state council of defense by more than a dozen of the larger cities of California, regarding their decreased garbage supply. Long Beach leads the entire state in the food saving movement, as reflected in the decreased daily garbage supply. This city has cut down its daily and monthly garbage output 80 per cent, according to the report just made to the state council. Riverside ranks second with a 50 per cent decrease and San Francisco is third with 28 per cent. Other citis which have cut down their garbage as a result of local campaigns for food saving, report their decreases as follows: Santa Monica and Alameda, 25 per cent; San Jose and-Pasadena 12½ per cent; Berkeley, 10½ per cent and Oakland, 8 per cent. Los Angeles and San Diego are the only two cities in the state to report increases in their garbage supply. to conserve in this classification white bread, sugar, candies, cream, butter, bacon, lard, pork suet, beef drippings and chicken fat. "For the physical growth of yourself and your family we would like to have you eat more prunes, carrots, spinach, celery, turnips, onions, all fruits, all greens, all fresh salads, whole grains, kidney beans, lentils, peas, nuts, corn, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, poultry, game, fish and cheese." A million and a quarter of the country's hoosewives already have signed the free postcard pledge and malled it to the food administration headquarters in Washington and are living up to the food conservation program. The increased volume of foodstuffs of which there is a shortage already indicates that many more than this million and a quarter housewives are actually enrolled as members of the administration. The government would like to have them all registered as active members and to that end the volunteers will not only carry arguments, but also food pledge cards for the unregistered housewives to sign. POULTRY TRUTHS Where the fowls are provided with green food digestion is aided materially. If there is a lack of kindness, good feed and good housing will not avail much. He who believes dope will take the place of good care is reckoning without his host. If your chicks are not doing well something is wrong. Look out for lice and for worms in the intestines. It availeth us nothing if we persistently feed the best of foods and then route between San Francisco and Los Angeles and half way between the two cities. It is 68 miles from Sequoia National Park and Giant forest, which contains the largest grove of big trees in the world, and the biggest tree in the world. General Sherman. This is one of the most beautiful of America's national parks and Tulare is the most convenient starting place for the run into the parks. Full information may be obtained from the Auto Club of Southern California branch in Tulare, which is only three blocks from the camp ground. General Grant National Park is also within easy driving distance from Tulare. Either trip can be made within a day, although it is advisable to take plenty of time to see the parks. The roads are kept in good condition. The drive from either Los Angeles or San Francisco to the camp ground there can easily be made in one day. Many motorists are finding the camp ground an excellent place to make their headquarters while touring thru various parts of the San Joaquin valley and to the mountains, as Tulare is in the center of the valley. Automobile tourists, within the past two or three years, have been discovering the beauties of the high Sierra of Tulare county. Mount Whitney, the highest mountain in the United States, is in Tulare county, east of Tulare. Not all of the mountain beauties are confined to the national parks. About two thirds of the area of the county is mountainous. Within a day one may drive from an altitude of a few hundred feet to an altitude of 6000 or 8000 feet, and then climb to the summit of America. There are many streams in the mountains containing an abundance of trout, and wild game hunting is good increase and San Francisco is third, with 28 per cent. Other citis which have cut down their garbage as a result of local campaigns for food saving, report their decreases as follows: Santa Monica and Alameda, 25 per cen; San Jose and-Pasadena 12½ per cent; Berkeley, 10½ per cent and Oakland, 8 per cent. Los Angeles and San Diego are the only two cities in the state to report increases in their garbage supply, in Los Angeles the increase is fixed at 2½ per cent and in San Diego at 6½ per cent. New impetus is soon to be given to the food saving movement when the women's committee of the councils of defense, will inaugurate another campaign for securing Hoover food pledges from every household in the state. SOLD MORTGAGED HOGS A lot of hogs that used to revel in garbage dumped near McPherson are no longer there. Some of those hogs were red and some were black, and some were spotted. Some had metal tags in their ears and some merely squealed their identity. Some of them have gone the way of the last squeal. Just what hogs were mortgaged to A. S. Bradford of Placentia may not be clear in the mind of Justice Cox, but he did get enough evidence about the various kinds of hogs that used to partake regularly of the unsaved food of tables of Santa Ana, Orange and Anaheim to convince him that J. A. McLaughlin ought to be held for trial in the superior court on a charge of selling mortgaged hogs. McLaughlin gave $1000 cash bail. D. W. Tate and McLaughlin owned some hogs together. They agreed up- SPRING SUMMER AUTUMN WINTER ALL YEAR SERVICE At all seasons of the year the toll service of the telephone keeps the wheels moving on the farm, There is never an emergency that calls for help from the distant city that cannot be arranged by telephone.

NURSERY STOCK INSPECTION We wish to call your attention to the mater of nursery stock inspection at point of destination, writes the state horticultural commissioner in an open letter to the various county inspectors and commissioners. Below is a letter from one of the big nurserymen of the state, which severely criticizes the existing system. We should exert every effort to see that inspection is made carefully and as little damage done as possible. "We have heretofore had some correspondence with your office relative to the protection of tree shipments from exposure on the part of the re- the digging and grading and then again for the taking from the trenches and-baling. "We have a number of times observed trees on depot platforms inadequately protected, awaiting delivery after the inspection had been made. This delinquency is the cause of a great deal of loss to the planters and trouble to the nurserymen, and the responsibility for which is next to impossible to fasten upon the inspector. "Now, would it not be possible to adopt a system and put it into effect whereby a bale of trees would not be opened for inspection without the buyer being right on hand to immediately accept the delivery of the trees? Or, if that were not possible, that the inspector, as soon as the inspection has been made, take charge of the trees and immediately trench them and keep them in his possession so trenched until delivery to the buyer has been effected." Care is a very important factor in the handling of nursery stock. Let us San Diego are the state to report garbage supply, in release is fixed at San Diego at 6½ per cent and Oakland to be given to settlement when the council adjourns another Hoover food household in the GED HOGS used to revel in McPherson are one of those hogs were black, and Some had metal and some merely utility.

Below is a letter from one of the big nurserymen of the state, which severely criticizes the existing system. We should exert every effort to see that inspection is made carefully and as little damage done as possible. "We have heretofore had some correspondence with your office relative to the protection of tree shipments from exposure on the part of the receiving horticulture inspector from the time that the bale is first opened for inspection until the trees have been actually delivered to the buyer. Unfortunately, owing to the difficulty at times of having the buyer right on hand to take care of the stock when the inspection is made, the delivery is sometimes delayed several hours, and, in some instances, a day or two, between the cutting of the bale and the actual delivery to the buyer, during which time the common practice of the inspector is, when the inspection has been completed to cover as best he can on the depot platform with the loose tule the contents of the bale. "This, however, I absolutely no protection from the weather, particularly when the north wind is blowing as is often the case during the months of January, February and March. Often times the vitality of the trees is injured by exposure, and, as a result the buyer gets a poor stand. The buyer is none the wiser and always blames the nurseryman for the poor results obtained in his planting. "We have had a number of instances on last year's deliveries where the poor result showed evidence of the trees having been allowd to lie exposed somewhere in their handling." In our nursery we make it a positive rule never to allow stock to lie exposed longer than is necessary for whereby a bale of trees would not be opened for inspection without the buyer being right on hand to immediately accept the delivery of the trees? Or, if that were not possible, that the inspector, as soon as the inspection has been made, take charge of the trees and immediately trench them and keep them in his possession so trenched until delivery to the buyer has been effected." Care is a very important factor in the handling of nursery stock. Let us be cautious in inspecting, in moistening if necessary, in repacking or in the trenching of the young nursery material temporarily entrusted to us. 66 MILES AN HOUR Ray Thompson, arrsted Friday by Motor Officer Ballard for speeding 66 miles an hour on the Irvine boulevard is evidently attempting to avoid Justice Cox. Thompson, whom Ballard was instructed to bring into court at once, escaped from the motor officer when the latter stopped near Tustin to assist in an accident. Ballard got out the complaint and went directly to Thompson's home at 152 W. Thirty-fifth street in Los Angeles. Thompson, who is about 18 years of age, was not there, but his mother stated that he had been in trouble for speeding before and that he would probably get out all right this time. His father, who is living apart from Mrs. Thompson, was interviewed, and stated that he hoped the boy would be dealt with rather severely as he had been living too fast a life of late. The warant for arrest was left with the Los Angeles sheriff's office.
