SOLDIER BOYS TELL OF LIFE IN ARMY LIEUT. LEE HATFIELD WRITES FROM FRANCE, HIS BROTHER FLOYD FROM CAMP KEARNEY THE LATTER HAS BEEN PROMOTED TO THE RANK OF FIRST SERGEANT IN AMBU-LANCE CORPS The following letters have recently been received by George T. Hatfield from his two soldier brothers, Lieut. Leland S. Hatfield, who is somewhere in France and Sergeant Floyd Hatfield, who is now drilling at Camp Kearney: American Expd. Forces. Somewhere in France, Oct. 19,1917. We are now at our training camp. We are at a small village which is practically run by our troops, who have cleaned it up until it is habitable by Americans. We are billeted in the houses of the people here. I have a pretty fair room with a bed in it that is about four feet high. I am the town mayor. I have to look after the billeting of troops and the general welfare of the people in connection with the troops. It is like being a mayor of a small town. It has rained every day but one since we arrived and it certainly is the deuce as the mud is knee deep. It will begin to snow soon and from what class. My wind is good and I have been boxing with Jack Mann and Joe Solindo here nearly every night. There are five Y. M. C. A. buildings and they have a ring outside where there is a bout nearly every night. There are some good men here too. I am getting too old and it shows up now. SERGT F. S. HATFIELD, Field Hospital No. 157, Camp Kearney, Calif. PEOPLE MUST WAGE WAR ON RODENTS U. S. Department of Agriculture Advocates Organized Attacks on Rats and Mice Rat clubs, the purpose of which is to trap, poison, shoot, build out and otherwise combat rats and mice, are advocated by the department of agriculture as effective agencies to help in getting rid of these pests and in making the country a safer, more healthful, and less expensive place to live. Measures to combat the destructive rodents are especially desirable, in the opinion of the department, now that special efforts are being made to reduce waste and so assure a sufficient food supply in spite of war conditions. The rat, the department points out in a recent Farmers Bulletin, "House Rats and Mice," is one of the world's worst animal pests. It lives in flith and carries filth with it on its visits to dwellings and store room, to pollute and destroy human food. It carries bubonic plague and other diseases fatal to man and so brings about the death of great numbers of persons annually. It destroys crops, eggs and young poultry, stored food, and fabrics; causes fires; ruins artificial ponds and embankments by burrowing; and, by gnawing, damages foundations, floors, doors, furniture and 1 A normal tax of such income. 2 An additional super graduated from one per cent, in proportion come exceeds $20,000. 3 A war tax of two such income. 4 A war additional from one to 50 per cent as such income exceeds. 5 A war excess proThe first of these apest incomes taxed, thafor a single man and the married man.

We are interested in houses of the people here. I have a pretty fair room with a bed-in it that is about four feet high. I am the town mayor.

It has rained every day but one since we arrived and it certainly is the deuce as the mud is knee deep. It will begin to snow soon and from what I hear it gets about six feet deep, so I have got to keep busy or I will freeze to death. I sent you an order for ten dollars through the Farmers Loan and Trust company of New York. I wish you would send me some cigars and pipe tobacco. We can't get cigars here and not much pipe tobacco. I put in five dollars and a doctor here the other five. Send us some pretty good cigars, something like "La Confession" or "Mutuals". You can probably get them cheaper for us through John Ziegler. Send them in boxes of 50 about two weeks apart until the money runs out. I will send some more money next month. LELAND S. HATFIELD, 1st Lieut. 5th Machine Gun Co. American Expeditionary Forces, France. Sergeant Hatfield writes from Linda Vista as follows: Camp Kearney, Cal. Oct. 31, 1917. Well it was just one year ago today that I was mustered out of service and I said I was done but here I am again. This is some camp, you can go out and look down the drill ground and see from eight to ten thousand men any time. We do not get so much drill as the rest because we get a medical lecture every afternoon where the rest get four hours drill, and it is some drill. It is nothing to see them do twenty minutes double time then twenty quick time all morning. The infantry gets the most. I am thankful I am no "doughboy" or in the battery either. There are officers who do nothing but train the men to run or bayonet practice or throwing. If you play base ball or foot ball you get off at 3 p.m. but you get some hard practice until 5 p.m. We have a fine foot ball team and a pretty good ball team too. You can tell how big this place is when the mess halls stood end to end would make a line over ten mile worst animal pests. It lives in hills and carries filth with it on its visits to dwellings and store room, to pollute and destroy human food. It carries bubonic plague and other diseases fatal to man and so brings about the death of great numbers of persons annually. It destroys crops, eggs and young poultry, stored food, and fabrics; causes fires; ruins artificial ponds and embankments by burrowing; and, by gnawing, damages foundations, floors, doors, furniture and much other property. The mouse, though smaller is almost as destructive. It would be eminently desirable, the bulletin shows, completely to exterminate rats and mice. The task is a difficult one, however, since these animals breed with alarming rapidity and adapt themselves to almost all conditions. Individual effort will accomplish little, since a dwelling or farm freed from the pests is soon repopulated by migration from adjacent territory. It is for this reason that the department advocates the waging of organized warfare on rats and mice, including the formation of rat clubs. These organizations are not untried, the bulletin says, since they exist both in the United States and in some foreign countries. A club in Kent, England, destroyed 16,000 rats in three seasons at an insignificant cost. Women's municipal leagues in the United States have recently taken up the matter of rat eradication, notably in Baltimore and Boston. The department believes there is an excellent opportunity for these activities to spread, and expects boards of trade, civic societies, citizens' associations, womens' club, both in town and rural communities, boys' corn club, Boy Scouts and similar organizations to take up the work. In addition to the work of local organizations, there is much that can be done toward rat eradication by states and cities, the bulletin states. Through laws and ordinances, builders and owners can be required to rat-proof all buildings, and specifications can be adopted in the construction of sewers, drains, wharves, railroad loading platforms and other structures that will prevent rats finding harborage about them. Better sanitary measures can be enforced about markets and stores and throughout cities, villages and country districts. States may help the work by protecting native hawks, owls and other enemies of rats which destroy fewer poultry On income of abovecomes of between $50 ing taxed two per cent, plus one per cent.

You can tell how big this place is when the mess hails stood end to end would make a line over ten mile long. There are 44 base ball fields and 12 foot ball fields being laid off on the drill ground now. I am in charge of about hundred men from different companies leveling off and putting in the bases. I have been taken out of the quartermaster and am going to be put in as first sergeant of one of the ambulance companies in a few days. It is some job, too, but I will get the best pay that is given to an enlisted man, as I will be a sergeant first class and draw $56 a month. A regimental sergeant major only gets $51. Of course a master sergeant gets more but they are all in posts or hospitals and not in the fields. There are no chances to get away from here, no passes for more than 12 hours, and you can not got over 20 miles from camp.

But the lowering of the income tax limit will reach nearly 6,000,000 people. Small wonder that the government is looking for an army of clerks and accountants. This vastly increased number of income taxpayers is due to the fact that formerly no income tax was required and no report demanded of men whose income was less than $3000. Under the new law, every single man whose income is over $1,000, and every married man whose income is more than $2000 are held for taxation. There are five distinct phases or features of the new law—five different ways in which taxes will be figured on large incomes, and two of these apply to the smaller incomes. They are: Reports of full ed in record brea sections of the c to have been ma rect work on ther sers.

The first of these apply to the smallest incomes taxed, that is: over $1,000 for a single man and over $2,000 for the married man. At the $3,000 point, tax No. 3 come on for the single man and at $4,000 it is applied to the married man. In effect the result will be this: The single man with an income of $1,100 will pay an income tax of $2; an income of $2000 will be taxed $20; an income of $3000 will be taxed $40 and an income of $4000 will be taxed $80. The married man with an income up to $2000 will pay no income tax but an income of $2100 will call for a tax of $2; an income of $3000 will be taxed $20 and an income of $4000 will be taxed $40. It will be observed that the single man with $4000 income pays a tax of $80, while the married man with the same income pays only $40. Which is the long-looked for tax on bachelors. All these incomes are net. On incomes of over $5000 tax No. 4, as listed above comes into effect, incomes of between $5000 and $7500 being taxed two per cent, plus two per cent, plus one per cent. Incomes of between $15,000 and $20,000 are taxed two per cent, plus two per cent, plus five per cent, and at that point tax No. 2, above, begins to apply, so that the individual with an income of between $20,000 and $40,000 pays two per cent plus one per cent, plus two per cent, plus seven per county, has earned an enviable reputation both in regard to bleaching and the quality of its pack. A great deal of credit for this is due to the manager, J. B. Winters, and his corps of assistants. Mr. Winters has been employed by the Richland Walnut association for the past five years, and is conceded to be one of the best walnut packing house managers in the state. This is the only association in the county which takes the walnuts from the growers just as they come from the orchards (after being thoroughly dried) and doing all of the culling at the packing house, at a cost of less than one-half what it could be done for at the ranch. CHARLES RAEMELLA'S NEW FORD STOLEN SATURDAY EVE. Machine Belonging to J. F. Harryman Of Puente Also Taken, but Later Recovered by Police A new Ford belonging to Charles Raemella of East Center street, was stolen about 8:30 Saturday evening. His son, Erwin Raemella had driven the car up town, when he went to work in Heyling's grocery about 7 o'clock in the evening and parked the machine on Center street where he could watch it, believing perhaps that someone might steal it, because on Saturday night the town fills up with many people who come here to trade and among them at times are strangers who come for thievery. For some reason Erwin later removed the Ford to South Claudeina street near the corner of Center. Just to be sure that the car was there he went to investigate at 8 o'clock and found everything all right. In half an hour he again went to look after the car and found that it had been stolen. He immediately notified the police and a description was sent to the Los Angeles authorities, but up to the present time no trace of the car has been found. in help that threatened to seriously damage the harvest of the sugar beet crops. Of the 500, only about 150 were used in this section. The Santa Ana Sugar Company and the Southern California Sugar Company have practically finished with the men, and are now ready to return them to the place from which they got them. THE COAST AND GENERAL "More pennies" is the demand of trade. Cause, war taxes. Louisiana is beginning to ship pecans. The crop will be good. All exports of sugar from the U.S. were prohibited October 10. India has 13 and a quarter million acres of cotton and for 1917-18 a million increase over last year. Arizona has a state seed stocks committee and is investigating as to quantity and quality of seed available for present season's planting. It will meet in Phoenix this month. Says "Sugar:" "The able bodied man who refuses to work these days is not only personally contemptible, but he is a public menace and should be treated as such." Director Forbes of the Arizona experiment station is making a pull for greater production of wheat in that state. Most of the plantings have been at an altitude of 4000 to 5000 feet. Condense all packages sent for Christmas to soldiers in France. Large parcels cannot possibly be handled by the department. After giving name and branch of service, mark "Christmas Box, Pier 1, Hoboken, New Jersey." The Packer reports that last winter's freeze has cut short Florida's orange and grapefruit crop and that Louisiana's oranges have been damaged by winds. The Florida Citrus Exchange estimates that the state's crop will be 4,000,000 boxes. On income of above comes into effect, incomes of between $5000 and $7500 being taxed two per cent, plus two per cent, plus one per cent. Incomes of between $15,000 and $20,000 are taxed two per cent, plus two per cent, plus five per cent, and at that point tax No. 2, above, begins to apply, so that the individual with an income of between $20,000 and $40,000 pays two per cent plus one per cent, plus two per cent, plus seven per cent, while the Croesus with an income of $2,000,000 and over pays two per cent, plus 13 per cent, plus 2 per cent, plus 50 per cent. Or to put the tax into dollars for the single and married, ehre is a brief table: | Net Income | Single | Married | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | $ 1,100 | $ 2 | $ 2 | | 2,100 | 22 | 2 | | 3,100 | 44 | 22 | | 4,000 | 80 | 40 | | 5,000 | 120 | 80 | | 7,500 | 245 | 205 | | 10,000 | 395 | 355 | | 100,000 | 16,220 | 16,180 | | 1,000,000 | 475,220 | 475,180 | | 2,000,000 | 1,130,220 | 1,130,180 | After these taxes have been paid, the excess profits must be faced, but the excess profits do not apply in the case of the porporation, unless the profits have been above $3,000, and in the case of the partnership or individual unless the profits have been above $6000 for the year. ORANGE COUNTY WOMEN GIVE FOOD PLEDGES Five Hundred Anaheim Ladies Agree To Conserve Food Seven thousand eight hundred and fifty six homes in Orange county are displaying food conservation window cards, as the result of the drive of the past week. The county's quota was 860 pledges, which means that the county was 750 short of its number. Reports of full quotas being reached in record breaking time in other sections of the country are believed to have been made possible by incorrect work on the part of the canvassers. It is understood that in many localities more than one card was given out to a family, the canvassers working on the idea that each member of a household who was over 18 years of age should sign the pledge. In Orange county only one plodge for thievery. For some reason Erwin later removed the Ford to South Claudina street near the corner of Center. Just to be sure that the car was there he went to investigate at 8 o'clock and found everything all right. In half an hour he again went to look after the car and found that it had been stolen. He immediately notified the police and a description was sent to the Los Angeles authorities, but up to the present time no trace of the car has been found. Earlier in the evening a Ford belonging to J. T. Harryman of Puente was taken from South Los Angeles street, but the machine was later recovered on East Broadway, where on account of the blowing out of a tire the thief had abandoned it. It is presumed that the party came up town and espying the Raemella car made away with it. Raemella's car was a new one having been bought two weeks ago. His loss is about $500. People when leaving their machines at night time should use precaution, and it would be well to lock them in every instance. Auto thieves are generally equipped to defeat all safety devices, but more care upon the part of owners would help somewhat. It is reported that on Saturday night a car was stolen at Santa Ana, and in Los Angeles that night, up to 10 o'clock, twenty machines had been stolen. BUSY HARVESTING ORANGE COUNTY KELP Fleet of Boats Off the Coast, Gathering in the Crop For the first time in six months, the San Diego kelp fleet is off the coast of Laguna Beach cutting Orange county's great standing crop of potash weeds. The companies operating from San Pedro and San Diego decided last winter that they would not cut kelp in front of any bathing beach during the summer months, as the cutting loosens the eel grass that grows with the kelp, and the tides bring this into the breaker lines, making bathing not only disagreeable but dangerous as well. During the summer months, this fleet of four vessels, the largest in the world, has operated in the vicinity of San Clemente and Santa Catalina islands, as well as off shore along the mainland where the beach- Christmas to soldiers in France.

The Florida Citrus Exchange estimates that the state's crop will be 4,000,000 boxes. Federal farm loan banks are rapidly getting to a working basis. The country over there is about $4,000,000 loaned on farm mortgages. It is estimated that the greater part of this can be transferred to a five per cent loan instead of the 7-4-10 per cent which is estimated as present average. Every broker, jobber, commission merchant and retailer, the latter doing a business of $100,000 or more a year must have secured a government license by November 1 or be subject to fine of $5000 or two years imprisonment, or both. The only dealers in food who are exempt are farmers and country shippers who do a business of less than $50,000 a year. Corn growing states are seriously discussing the labor question. The corn has been grown and is ready for the husking peg. One peculiar feature of the situation is the immense quantity which has been turned out by the Southern states. The yield will be great and it is hoped that it will encourage the South in breaking away from exclusive cotton production. Michigan bean growers are reported to have fixed a price of $8.00 per bushel for their beans. At the price fixing meeting representatives were present from 20 to 30 bean growing counties in the state and they based this price on a report that the average cost of raising beans this year is $57.53 per acre and the average crop eight and a quarter bushels per acre. Some of the growers protested that the price was not high enough. At a meeting of the bean jobbers held following that the growers', vigorous protests against profiteering were made. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS RAISING WAR FUND National Council Expects to Raise $3,000,000 for the Work Reports of full quotas being reached in record breaking time in other sections of the country are believed to have been made possible by incorrect work on the part of the canvassers. It is understood that in many localities more than one card was given out to a family, the canvassers working on the idea that each member of a household who was over 18 years of age should sign the pledge. In Orange county only one pledge was taken at a residence, the committees strictly following instructions. In the last campaign 7290 names were secured and on the previous canvass 466, making a total for the county of 7856. This was the record on Saturday night when the returns were checked up, but the figures will be enlarged. Five hundred names were secured in Anaheim, but more are being added. HIGH GRADE WALNUTS SHIPPED FROM COUNTY Nuts Grown on San Joaquin Graded 99½ Per Cent Perfect What is believed to be the finest carload of walnuts ever shipped from Orange county went from the Richland Walnut association to New York last Wednesday. The carload tested 99½ per cent perfect. The official instructor for the Central Walnut Growers' association made the test for the carload cracking 200 walnuts. He found only two halves imperfect. These nuts were grown on the San Joaquin ranch, which, by the way, is becoming noted as one of the best walnut sections in the county. The Richland Walnut Growers association, although one of the smallest in the ter that they would not cut kelp in front of any bathing beach during the summer months, as the cutting loosens the eel grass that grows with the kelp, and the tides bring this into the breaker lines, making bathing not only disagreeable but dangerous as well. During the summer months, this fleet of four vessels, the largest in the world, has operated in the vicinity of San Clemente and Santa Catalina islands, as well as off shore along the mainland, where the beaches would not be interfered with. Many Orange county men are employed on the cutters, the wages ranging from $65 to $25 a month and board. The men employed work seven days a week, with shore leave about every twenty-four days. Relief workers take the shifts of the men ashore. The government, it is reported, has taken over the management of the fleets, and so men may quit without considerable red tape being unwound. This method is at present the most practical in the United States, for the purpose of extracting potash, now so sorely needed in the manufacture of munitions. The vessels arrived with their tenders late Saturday evening, after having cut the beds at San Juan point. DEPORTING MEXICANS Probably within the next ten days about 150 Mexicans who were brought into the Delhi section from El Paso for work in the sugar beet fields will be placed aboard a train and will be taken back to El Paso. The men were brought here by the sugar companies, about 500 of them, for all of the sugar factories in Southern California, to meet the hsortage KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS RAISING WAR FUND National Council Expects to Raise $3,000,000 for the Work The Knights of Columbus are doing for the soldier and sailor boys of the Catholic faith what the Y.

From the interest shown in this matter to date it is now certain that all sections of the three counties interested in flood control will have representatives present who are familiar with the conditions in their different localities. The map referred to is intended to facilitate and explain the discussion of the problems to be considered at the meeting. WORLD NEEDS BACON Pork can be transported to the boys MOVING POTATO CROP Mr. H. P. Anewalt, general freight agent of the Santa Fe in Los Angeles, says the railroads are now moving what promises to be the biggest potato crop in the history of the country. This crop it is estimated, will total approximately 453 million bushels, or hal fagain as much as last year. This has been on the way since the middle of September. The movement of it will continue until about April 1st of next year. Reports received by the commission on car service indicate that even with the intensive loading more than 75,000 cars will be needed to handle the potato crop. FLOOD CONTROL WORK The Tri-Counties Reforestation committee has had a skeleton map made showing all of the main water courses in the counties of San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange. The map also shows the number of acres in each water shed and the locations of the principal cities and towns in the three counties. Five hundred copies of this map are being printed for distribution at the mass meeting which will be called to order at 10:30 a.m. at the Y. M. C. A. building, Riverside, No. WORLD NEEDS BACON Pork can be transported to the boys in the trenches better than can any other meat. The boys in khaki at the front need bacon. Meat for the Liberty boys will not be available unless more hogs are bred now. Our government estimates that there are in America today 4,000,000 less hogs than there were a year ago. During the last three months, the price of hogs in the United States has been on an average more than twice, as much as the average price for the five years from 1911 to 1915. There is a large crop of foodstuffs in sight, and it would certainly seem the part of wisdom for farmers to take every possible step to increase the supply of hogs and hog products. Foreign countries are devoting their farming energies largely to the raising of food and feed, rather than meat. But the world must have meat and it is looking to America to produce it. The police arrested a man Saturday night, giving the name of E. L. Dewey, charged with suspicion. He had several blank checks upon various banks, three or four of which he had filled out for sums ranging as high as $12.50. He attempted to pass one of the checks on a business house. The police were aware of his operations and placed him under arrest when he tried to negotiate the check. In default of $1000 bail Judge Howard Monday sent the man to the county jail to await trial in the superior court.
