THIRTY-FIVE MORE MEN CERTIFIED FOR SERVICE Fifteen Anaheimers Among Those Who Passed Successfully Of the two hundred men examined by the local board last week for service in the army, thirty-five who passed the physical examination filed no exemption claims and were certified to the district board as ready for service. Fifteen of these men are from Anaheim. All the married men filed claims for exemption, and under the new order that class one, the single men, shall be first exhausted before married men are taken, it is probable that none but unmarried men will be sent north to fill up the gap of fifty or sixty in our quota of 204. Following is a list of those certified by the local board: Ray Contreras, Placentia. George Orosca, Placentia. W. J. Oberlander, Anaheim. Wm. E. Morris, Garden Grove. L. S. Strong, Garden Grove. Bidal Ruiz, Anaheim. Victor A. Eimers, Fullerton. Herbert Timme, Anaheim. Henry Rohrs, Garden Grove. Samuel W. Christy, La Habra. Raymond D. Cookson, Anaheim. Lester A. Jeffries, Brea. Earl E.

Dusan Milosevica, Fullerton. Joseph Yager, Fullerton. J. V. Arnevich, Seal Beach. Alfred E. Bittner, Anaheim. Earl O. Imus, Anaheim. G. F. Tanner, Anaheim. FOUR ALIENS BECOME UNITED STATES CITIZEN'S One Anaheim Applicant Discovered He Was Already a Citizen Four applicants out of a class of 12, held for examination in the superior court Tuesday morning, were declared naturalized. Of the 12 only one, Fred Bernstein, of Fullerton, was held over until January 20, 1919, or "until the present war is over." Although both Bernstein and his two witnesses testified to his fidelity to the United States government, the law covering such cases had to be followed, and Bernstein was informed that the matter would have to be continued until hostilities between this country and Germany are over. Adolphe Frderick Piegel of Anaheim was excused as the court ruled that he is already a citizen. He was born in Germany, and was the son of German parents. However, his father died when he was a child, and his mother married an American. As the mother assumed American citizenship through a marriage, the minor child assumed the same standing. Louis Berman, Seal Beach, was told that his case must be continued until the next class on January 21 of 1918, as his papers were not drawn up in the proper form. The cases of Roger H. Varicle, Santa Ana, Jorgen N. Johansen, Fullerton, and John Boer, R. D. 6, were held up until the same date, as the proof of citizenship of one witness in each case was not properly established. James Carter, of 1116 E. Second street, failed to appear, and his case was continued. Adolphe Joseph Callens, of Irvine, was held for examination, but fell down on the constitution, and his case was continued until January 21 of next year. The other four men examined, M. B. Tomblin has from Sergt. Kenyon with Will Jessurun enlisted some months later. The boys were taken Little Rock, Ark., for he says: "I have been here have seen as much care to, but guess I longer.

KENYON Camp Pike L HOGS TO KANSAS CITY Imperial valley papers are filled with particulars of the gathering of carloads of hogs for shipment to Kansas City for packing houses. One paper says that although there has been three cents per pound in favor of Kansas City markets there exists at the present moment a range of $4.10. Top prices at Kansas City will approach fairly close to 20 cents. The cost per hundred of shipment is $1.50. This leaves a net around three cents in favor of the Eastern market. Four days are required to make the trip. Of course only hard finished, grain fed hogs will pay for this shipment. A special train is being made up for the trip and the farm adviser's office is aiding in the campaign which will result in more net money to Imperial valley producers. It is to be regretted that California conditions do not permit of this stock being packed in this state. COST OF CHARITIES Charities and corrections, which are considered together, constitute an important item in the disbursements of California counties. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, this item amounted to $4,312,662.13, for the counties, alone, irrespective of the state's disbursements of like nature. In other words, teh 57 counties spent, for charities and corrections, about $1.74 per capita. CONSERVE SUGAR One teaspoonful of sugar less in the morning cup of coffee, or tea at the noon or evening meal, or one spoonful less in any other way each day will conserve 334,600 tons of sugar per year for use of Uncle Sam's fighting boys and those of the allies, if every inhabitant of the United States would adopt the policy of curtailing his consumption of sugar to the extent of one teaspoonful per day. At the price of $7 per 100 established by the government this would mean a saving per year of $46,844,000 or enough to pay 1 per cent interest on a loan of $1,171,100. By an actual test conducted by a representative of the Santa Ana Register, there are 60 teaspoonfuls to the pound of sugar. Basing the population of the United States at 110,000,000 gives the figures quoted. NEW PACKING HOUSE The Garden Grove Citrus Association may occupy its own building some time during the coming season: Action to this effect was taken at the annual meeting held Saturday. The association has been occupying a portion of the Walnut Growers' building during its corporate existence, but has lands' of its own, and owns its own machinery. The move toward erecting a building of its own has been under way for some time, but was first mentioned officially at the meeting Saturday. In addition to the reading of the financial statement and report for Johansen, Fullerton, and John Boer, R.D. 6, were held up until the same date, as the proof of citizenship of one witness in each case was not properly established. James Carter, of 1116 E. Second street, failed to appear, and his case was continued. Adolph Joseph Callens, of Irvine, was held for examination, but fell down on the constitution, and his case was continued until January 21 of next year. The other four men examined, George Edward Parsons, R.D. No. I, Box 125, Whittier, James Dabie McIntyre, 409 Richland Ave., Santa Ana, Gustav Martens, 1018 E. Broadway, Anaheim, Nels Orvid Nelson, 138 E. Commonwealth Ave., Fullerton, were passed and certificates of citizenship have been granted to them.

In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, this item amounted to $4,312,662.13, for the counties, alone, irrespective of the state's disbursements of like nature. In other words, teh 57 counties spent, for charities and corrections, about $1.74 per capita. Takin gthe counties as a whole, the total expenditures were as follows: maintenance of county hospital and almshouse buildings, $223,886; care of inmates, $1,672,993; county physicians, $59,822; care of indigents outside of almshouses, $902,195; care of children, $593,962; care and examination of insane, $41,286; probation officers an dcourts, $172,097; care of inmates in reform schools, $91,856; care of inmates in home for feeble minded, $81,399; otehr expenditures, $67,302; Outlays, $469,859. For these various purposes, the disbursements in Orange county amounted to $71,145 or $1.362 per capita. CAPPER SCORES HOOVER Gov. Capper of Kansas, the state which is expected to raise as much wheat next year as the next three highest on the list, has written to Food Administrator Hoover that his system is full of holes. "There can be no defense of a system," says Capper, "that takes from the producer his profits and yet fails to lower the cost to the consumer." Mr. Hoover himself states that while there has been a general decline in the wholesale prices of foodstuffs the retail price has steadily increased. A system of control that will not regulate both ends and also the middle of the food situation is a failure. The association has been occupying a portion of the Walnut Growers' building during its corporate existence, but has lands' of its own, and owns its own machinery. The move toward erecting a building of its own has been under way for some time, but was first mentioned officially at the meeting Saturday. In addition to the reading of the financial statement and report for the fiscal year, the following directors were elected for the coming twelve months: M. B. Allen, Wm. E. Schmitger, Jas. Henry, John Winters, E. M. Dozier, D. P. Crosby and Fred Andrews. Tuesday was meatless day again in Anaheim—that is, it was supposed to be meatless, but the market men state that little difference was noticed in the sales. Anaheim has 70 boys in Uncle Sam's service, and the entire nation already has more than a million either at the front or going to the front, and in order to sustain them and the allies who are fighting side-by-side with them we are asked to abstain from eating beef and pork one day each week. Many people in Anaheim are obeying the injunction of the food conservation department, but it appears there are many others who are willing to make sacrifice only when they are not inconvenienced thereby. Mr. Hoover has made the statement that the order conserving these exportable meats must be obeyed. If the people will not voluntarily consent to this small sacrifice men will be stationed in every market on meatless days to enforce the order. Our-boys abroad and their suffering allies need this meat, and there are plenty of things the American people can substitute on Tuesdays. Anaheim Gazette KENYON LYBARGER IS NOW A SERGEANT Writes of Life and Conditions at Camp Pike, Ark. M. B. Tomblin has received a letter from Sergt. Kenyon Lybarger who, with Will Jessurun and Elmer Hansen, enlisted some months ago in the army. The boys were taken to Camp Pike, Little Rock, Ark., for training. In part he says: "I have been here a month, and have seen as much of Camp Pike as I care to, but guess I will stay awhile longer. This is a much larger camp than I expected to see. Believe me, this is one great country for niggers, mules and flies, but we are getting rid of the flies as cold weather is coming." "Thanks for sending me the Gazette as it is sure great to hear from home. I am not a native of California, but you can tell the world that I am a strong booster for Southern California. I am working in the clothing department of the Q. M. C. We issue underclothes, socks, towels, soap and blankets to the boys when they come in then they take a bath (I think the first for some of them) and are under quarantine for ten days. After that they receive their uniforms and begin to drill." "This country is fifty years behind the times. Some of the farmers still use oxen to do their farm work. One fellow here thought he would escape service by sacrificing a finger, so off it came, but all he got for it was a transfer to a wagon train, and is still in the service. Yours, SERGT.

"About every day a bunch of the fellows are sent from the company to the hospital for an inoculation or vaccination. I was in bed three days last week, from it. I had a cold to start with and it certainly fixed me." I feel fine now after a morning of drill. They get around the bunch each week. "Fifty of our 260 men in this company went with some others to Camp Kearney last Friday. "I have received a fine overcoat and a pair of wool knit gloves, toothbrush, hair brush, comb, soap and two face towels and our full equipment will include also the following: Two pairs of shoes, light and heavy; two or three pairs of wool socks and two of thinner; two suits of heavy underwear, (wool), two shirts, two coats, two pairs of pants, one pair leggings and one hat." EXPECT TO SECURE A FARM ADVISER Nine Local Societies Already Formed In Orange County The committee in charge of the organization of a farm bureau in Orange county is very hopeful that the temporary organization will be completed with full 600 members in time to present the matter to the board of supervisors at their November meeting. There are 9 locals already formed and it is expected that three or four more will be organized this week. Local meetings, have, for the most part, been very well attended and enthusiastic membership committees are working in the different districts. If the farm bureau is completed, the supervisors will be asked to set aside not to exceed $2000 from the general fund for the balance of the present The governor's proclamation addressed to the people of the state follows: "Urged by my sense of patriotic duty to support every effort toward the nation's victory in the struggle now being waged on land and sea, I appeal to the women and the men of California to at once sign the food pledge of the federal food administration. These pledges will be presented at every door, they will appear in the newspapers, they will be spoken of in the churches, theatres and moving picture houses. Every agency, federal state, county, municipal, public and private, will be used to bring these pledges to your notice. Every woman and every man in California should sign." "The pledge is a simple one. It merely states that the signer is glad to join the Federal administration in the service of food conservation of our nation, and the signer accepts membership in the United States food administration, pledging himself or herself to carry out the directions and advice of the food administrator in the home so far as circumstances permit. "I appeal to you as Americans, as Californians, as lovers of your nation and of humanity to sign the food pledge. A unit of American homes arrayed against the enemy will mean certain success." 10,000 MEN NEEDED Ten thousand men are needed to officer the nation's new merchant marine.

BEER HIDDEN IN CHURCH "Unbeknownst" to its parishioners the Seventh Day Adventist church at Santa Ana has been the storage cellar for beer and wine, probably left there by some timid man who feared his wife's wrath should he bring his liquor home with him. Marshal Jernigan received a hurry call Saturday evening from a frightened lad who stated that there was a man under the church at Garland and Ross streets. Jeringer went out to investigate, and the group of boys gathered behind a tree near the church told him that they had seen a man crowling under the church through a little door. Searchlights were used, but no man could be found. Jernigan did discover two bottles of beer, and one of wine, under the church, where some thirsty individual had evidently been keeping his drinks concealed. SOLDIERS WELL FED Perry L. Briny, son of P. L. Briny of Santa Ana, is at Camp Lewis, having gone from Pomona with the first 4 per cent quota from that city. He writes to his parents there a most interesting article covering activities at the camp and the grounds surrounding the encampment. He is pleased with the life of the soldiers there. Briny doesn't agree with some of those who have sent out reports that Uncle Sam is not feeding the coming fighters as he should. Brief extracts from his letter follow. This is surely the life here. The country in the hills is heavily wooded and the trees are all moss covered on the north sides. Ferns grow as weeds, even out in the open valleys. All the valleys, and especially the woods, are thickly carpeted with moss. I took an eighteen mile hike a week ago Sunday to the prettiest woods I ever saw. "Strange to say, it has not rained since we came but the sun stays under the matter to the board of supervisors at their November meeting. There are 9 locals already formed and it is expected that three or four more will be organized this week. Local meetings, have, for the most part, been very well attended and enthusiastic membership committees are working in different districts. If the farm bureau is completed, the supervisors will be asked to set aside not to exceed $2000 from the general fund for the balance of the present fiscal year with which to meet the office and travelling expenses of the farm adviser and assistant. The federal government pays the salary of these two men. The $600 to be collected in membership dues remains the property of the Farm Bureau and no part of it is to be used for either of the above purposes. The committee feels that if the government sends two men here, one of them should be particularly trained in horticulture and the other one in the type of general farming common to Orange county. It is understood that the men sent out will have had practical farming experience as well as technical training. SPECULATION STOPPED IN CANNED GOODS Canneries Forbidden to Make Sales Until February 1 Special regulations to prevent speculation in canned goods will be put into operation November 1 by the food administration. All canners will be placed under license and forbidden to make future sales of canned corn, peas, tomatoes, salmon and sardines before February 1. This date later may be extended, depending on the needs of the Allies and the American military forces. As in other industries controlled by the food administration, canners will be required to sell their products at a reasonable margin of profit, regardless of market conditions or replacement values. Food pledge week got actively under way, with 500,000 canvassers throughout the country securing pledges from 22,000,000 homes for the observance of the food administration's directions and advice in food economy which President Wilso has indorsed. With effective enrollment of families to save food throughout the war, the church will continue to send omen success." 10,000 MEN NEEDED Ten thousand men are needed to officer the nation's new merchant marine. The University of California is cooperating with the U.S. shipping board in conducting courses to equip American citizens for this new career. The first men to complete these courses, as conducted for the shipping board at San Francisco, San Pedro and San Diego, have just finished a six weeks course and are taking their examinations for licenses—most of them as second officers—before the local steamboat inspectors at San Francisco and at San Pedro. The inspectors report that these men have shown the greatest zeal and interest and that they are likely to make excellent officers for the merchant marine. With millions of tons of new merchant ships soon to sail the seas under the American flag, the opportunity for careers as officers in the merchant marine has vastly expanded. Men who wish, immediately on completing their training, to become officers in the merchant marine, must have had sea experience. On successfully completing a six weeks course they are then eligible to take the examinations of the Steamboat Inspection Service for appointment as Junior officer on coastwise or South American vessels. After serving for two months at $75 a month, they will then be at liberty to go on full pay, at the rate prevailing in the Atlantic service, and that rate is at present high. Enlistment is not required. Even men who have not had sea experience may take these shipping board courses, either in the university extension class, conducted every afternoon except Saturday, or in the six months course held evenings on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, or in five months course conducted by the San Francisco board of education, every evening. The San Francisco schools are all held in the Ferry building. There are schools also in San Pedro and San Diego. Men with sea experience should apply to Inspector of Hulls John Guthrie, U.S. Customs House, San Francisco. Landsmen without previous experience should apply at the University Extension office, 309 Lick Bldg., San Francisco, or at California Hall, Berkeley. On successfully completing the course, men without previous sea certain success." IT'S TIME TO BEGIN PROPPING YOUR TREES Stock of 6in. - 7in-8-9-10 to 14in Select quality props on hand.

East Broadway Food pledge week got actively under way, with 500,000 canvassers throughout the country securing pledges from 22,000,000 homes for the observance of the food administration's directions and advice in food economy which President Wilso has indorsed. With effective enrollment of families to save food throughout the war, the United States will be able to export all the meat, wheat, fats and sugar for its allies in Europe, sorely needed to enable them to maintain their fighting strength. Lord Northcliffe, head of the British war mission in the United States, places the situation before the American people in these words: "The greatest food experts on both sides of the Atlantic say that there is a world shortage of food. The boys who are enduring the hell of the trenches for our sake cannot hold out unless well fed. The situation which we have to face right now in this food pledge week is obvious. "Either the stay at homes must save that the soldiers may get their vital needs, or the soldiers must go short so that the stay at homes may fatten. You cannot have it both ways and must take your choice." Belgian Minister De Cartier, citing the fact that America for many months has kept Belgium from starving, said that the effort in which every nation allied against Germany is stretching every nerve and expending every last ounce of strength, will succeed or will fail according to whether the peoples and their armies have the food needed to maintain their strength and their spirit. "America must supply by far the greatest portion of this food," said Minister De Cartier. INFORMATION FOR THE PRESS A strong plea for the relief of the petroleum situation in California, with particular reference to conditions which exist on Naval Reserve No. 2 in the Midway field, Kern county, was made by State Mineralogist Fletcher Hamilton in his speech delivered recently before the joint convention of the American association of state geologists and American institute of ery evening. The San Francisco schools are all held in the Ferry building. There are schools also in San Pedro and San Diego. Men with sea experience should apply to Inspector of Hulls John Guthrie, U.S. Customs House, San Francisco. Landsmen without previous experience should apply at the University Extension office, 309 Lick Bldg., San Francisco, or at California Hall, Berkeley. On successfully completing the course, men without previous sea experience will be given opportunity to obtain employment with various shipping interests of San Francisco. After a year of sea experience they can then apply for the government examinations. These courses require a preliminary knowledge of elementary arithmetic. The instruction given, as arranged for by F. P. Griffiths, Chief of Section 5 of the recruiting service of the U.S. shipping board, includes thorough training in the mathematics used by navigators, the use of the nautical almanac and nautical tables, the reading of charts, the use of nautical instruments, the determining of latitude and longitude, chronometer correction, day's work on shipboard, computing practice, and a wide range of practical problems the officers of the merchant marine must know how to solve.

The event stands out as one of the most conspicuous in the annals of the Orange church. Nearly three thousand people from San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside Whittier, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Olive and Orange attended the two services. At the morning service, conducted in German, the attendance was about 1350. The big auditorium was assurance of the continued effective distribution of relief and report that the suffering and death from exposure and starvation will inevitably be very much greater this winter than last unless the survivors can be helped by further contributions from America. "Reports indicate that of orphans alone there are more than 400,000, besides women and other dependent children, reaching a total of more than 2,000,000 destitute survivors. The situation is so distressing as to make a special appeal to the sympathies of all. In view of the urgent need I call again upon the people of the United States to make such further contributions as they feel disposed, on their sympathy and generosity for the aid of those suffering peoples. Contributions may be made through the American Red Cross, Washington, or direct to the American committee for Armenian and Syrian relief, Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer, One Madison Ave., New York City." (signed) WOODROW WILSON. Please forward all contributions for the Armenian-Syrian relief for Southern California to Chas. H.

The afternoon service was of such impressiveness that it has been decided to repeat the program next Sunday evening when the general public of Orange is invited to attend. Rev. N. F. Jensen, pastor of St. John's will deliver the sermon on that occasion. Offerings taken at the two services Sunday amounted to $715.00 which will become a part of the $1,000,000 fund being raised by the Lutheran of America as a church extension fund. Congregations unable to raise funds for a church will be able to borrow from this fund without interest. Two unusually fine sermons were heard during the day. In the morning Rev. Paul Scherf of San Diego based his sermon on Psalm 111. In the first part he called attention to the blessings wrought by the Reformation, the open bible and the doctrine of justification, civil and spiritual liberty and educational blessings. Then he pointed out some of the dangers and present day conditions opposing the benevolent influences of the Reformation and finally exhorted all Luther-church Sunday marked the celebration of the fourth centennial ofthe Luther Reformation.The event stands out as one ofthe most sweeping safeguards,"the announcement said,"against high prices which will be incorporated inthe licensing system forwhich complete rulesand regulationswillbe made knowninafew days."

E. J. Rudnick of Santa Ana discussed some of the leading thoughts of the various theses Luther posted on the door of the castle church of Wittenberg, and pointed out the basic principles of the Reformation, the right of every Christian to have and use the Bible as a guide into Salvation (something Christians did not have at the time Luther began to fight for his principle), the right of every Christian to get forgiveness of sins without money and without price, through faith in his Saviour, Jesus Christ. PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT "One year ago, in compliance with resolutions passed by the senate and by the house of representatives, I appointed days upon which the people of the United States might make such contributions as they felt disposed for the aid of the stricken Armenian and Syrian peoples. "American diplomatic and consular representatives and other American residents recently returned from Western Asia, assure me that many thousands of lives were saved from starvation by the gifts of the American people last winter. They also bring full facturer. Federal food administrators in all the states will be directed to keep a watch for violators and send to the food administration the names of retailers asking excessive prices. "Teh food administration," the announcement says, "does not intend to disturb any legitimate operations and will initiate measures only against hardened and persistent violators of the law. It takes the position that the great majority of food sellers, retail as well as wholesale, are patriotic and honest, and are making every effort to comply with good business principles and sell to the consumer at the lowest possible prices. Such dealers will be in fact protected from illegitimate competition. Those few who persist in abusing their opportunities and continuing to take advantage of the emergency caused by the war will receive attention." T. B. Talbert, geenral manager of the Pacific Oilcloth & Linoleum Co., has received word from D. W. McDannald, who had charge of the Orange county exhibit at the Land Show in San Francisco that Huntington Beach made oilcloth was awarded a blue ribbon, and that the Orange county exhibit captured 12 first prizes, 3 seconds and 2 thirds. The prizes and ribbons were for oilcloth, sugar process, Crawford's marmalade (2), peppers, avocados, peanuts, walnuts, chestnuts, lemons (2), and a special on rare fruits. The business of the Orange Fig-nut factory has grown to such proportions that the company is now figuring on a splendid two story building that will increase its capacity a hundred fold.
