ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter SOLDIER BOY A POET A lady residing at Fullerton has received an appreciative note from one of the boys at the front, who had received a comfort bag, along with others of his comrades from the good people at home. The lady enclosed her card in the bag prepared by herself, which contained among other things a pair of knit socks which she, herself, had made. She received the following poetic effusion: Dear Madam, I received your kit, One I used for a helmitt, the other for a milt, But where on earth did you learn to knit. The lady is not skilled in the art of knitting, but is rapidly learning, and the next pair of socks she sends to the front will not be quite so large. God bless the lady, and the soldier boy too, and all the ladies and all the soldier boys. It develops that the food commission has plenty of authority, and that its officials may not only suggest a meatless day but they can order such a day and severely punish all who do not comply. The proprietor of a Los Angeles hotel who told the good commissioner that "I own this hotel and am going to run it to suit myself," changed his mind after talking with his lawyer, toore up his menus and ask every city near the training camps in conjunction with the Y. M. C. A. and K. C. movements such wholesome amusements and recreations as will safeguard our boys from the thousand and one pitfalls, which are constantly open for them and are beckoning to them in every city. So that, when they go to the city, as all of them will do many times in order to get away from the hard work while in training and later in the trenches, such places of recreation as will appeal to them and which they can call their own, must be provided. A fund of $4,000,000 is being raised now in the United States for this purpose. It is estimated that it will take $3.00 per year per soldier to carry out this plan. There are now and probably will be in the training camps constantly in round numbers 1,250,000 soldiers and the above amount is considered adequate to cover this work for a period of one year. In order to safeguard the work done and the money raised for the Y. M. C. A. and the K. C., which amounts in round figures to between 60 and 60 million dollars, it is absolutely necessary to take care of our boys outside of the camps and provide for them such places where they will feel at home and enjoy a few hours of wholesome recreation. It is intended to raise Anaheim's quota in just two hours on Friday next, November 30th, the day after Thanksgiving. So be prepared to meet committees appointed to do this work. It only requires $3.00 per annum to safeguard the health and morals of one of our soldiers or sailors. How many are you willing to safeguard? There is not a citizen in this community who can afford to say no, and expect to look our boys in the face without blushing, when they return.

The proprietor of a Los Angeles hotel who told the food commissioner that "I own this hotel and am going to run it to suit myself," changed his mind after talking with his lawyer, toore up his menus and asked the federal representative to please write him some new ones. CONSERVING FOOD Orders reducing the alcoholic content of beer to 3 per cent will be issued at Washington soon by the food administration, with the approval of President Wilson, as we learn from the day's dispatches. At the same time, the amount of grain used by brewers will be cut down approximately 30 per cent, although the volume of beer will not be decreased. In making this announcement the food administration points out that since there is in the country a two or three years' supply of whiskey, it is undesirable at the present time to stop entirely the brewing of beer because of the possibility of driving the people to whiskey drinking. The social question involved, it is declared, must be given equal consideration with that of food conservation. So far as the manufacture of wine is concerned, it has already been shown that grapes have no food value except as they are dried into raisins, and as wine grapes cannot be turned into this commodity the discontinuation of wine making is not under consideration by the government. Moreover this course would destroy thousands of acres of vineyards, and millions of dollars invested in the wine-making industry. The government of the United States is not yet ready to adopt this course. When the time comes, if it ever shall come, that the manufacture of beer must be discontinued in order to conserve our food supply, we have no doubt the government will order its manufacture stopped, and that every liberty-loving patriot in the land, to whom victory in this great struggle is dearer than life itself, will confirm and uphold that policy. WAR CAMP COMMUNITY RECREATION A STAGGERING OUTPUT During the month of October the Ford Motor company made 79,675 cars. In the last six months their production was 469,135 or at the rate of 938,270 per annum. The estimated production for the year was placed at 900,000 about 3,000 a day, but there is small doubt that unless war conditions prevent that there will be more than one million Ford cars made within the Ford fiscal year, Aug. 1, 1917, to Aug. 1, 1918. Staggering as are these figs next, November 30th, the day after Thanksgiving. So be prepared to meet committees appointed to do this work. It only requires $3.00 per annum to safeguard the health and morals of one of our soldiers or sailors. How many are you willing to safeguard? There is not a citizen in this community who can afford to say no, and expect to look our boys in the face without blushing, when they return. Each man, be his circumstances ever so humble, ought to be able to take care of at least one soldier or one sailor. Remember the amount is only -3.00. The question is, how many boys will you adopt? The committee appointed is as follows: J. Frederick Ahlborn, chairman. L. B. Berger, secretary, Fred A. Backs, Jr., treasurer. Commander Division No. 1, Chas. Eygabroad. Captains Division No. 1.-C.

The drive is being made under the auspices of the Anaheim board of trade. All captains will please take notice and report to their respective Division Commanders Friday morning at 9 a.m. sharp at the board of trade rooms. It is expected ta raise Anaheim's quota of $400 in one hour and not more than two hours time. Let's make a record for Anaheim and a record for the committee.

War camp community recreation is to provide hospitality and wholesome recreation for the enlisted men in the communities adjacent to the war camps. This will be done under the direction of the war department and navy department commissions on training camp activities, officially represented in the war camp community work by the playground and recreation association of America. The president of the United States, the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy have endorsed this plan, also the commanding generals of the different training camps. It is most important that our boys should be found fit for service in order to win victory and it is most essential that they should return to us sound in body and morals to take up the great task of citizenship. The war camp community work is in conjunction with the Y. M. C. A. and the K. of C. movement. What these organizations perform inside of the camps is performed outside by the war department and navy department commissions on training camp activities. It is the purpose to provide within During the month of October the Ford Motor company made 79,675 cars. In the last six months their production was 469,135 or at the rate of 938,270 per annum. The estimated production for the year was placed at 900,000 about 3,000 a day, but there is small doubt that unless war conditions prevent that there will be more than one million Ford cars made within the Ford fiscal year, Aug. 1, 1917, to Aug. 1, 1918. Staggering as are these figures—this tremendous triumph of manufacturing possibilities, it is equally astonishing to know that demand is ever ahead of production, and that there has not been a day, since Aug. 1st, last, that there has not been orders on hand for more than 100,000 cars for immediate delivery. The Parent Teachers association will hold their next meeting on next Tuesday at 3:30 o'clock at Fremont school. Mrs. J. L. Beebe will continue her address on "Children from Four to Forty," and will give several original readings. The annual children's party of the Ebell will be held at Masonic hall next Monday. All members of the society are requested to attend and bring their children with them. The program will be in charge of Mrs. Earl Abbey. Tom Scott, formerly assistant postmaster here, is now engaged as cashier of the bank at Temecula. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Neff have returned from a visit to Riverside and San Jacinto. Mr. Neff reports the orange crop at Riverside very light. The Arlington Fruit company expects a yield of not to exceed 20 per cent of a normal crop.

MUNGER The great Orange county oil fields present an activity at the present time that is particularly remarkable considering the conditions under which the oil operators are working. There are 15 new rigs in the field. Eighty six wells are drilling, and the number of producing wells has been brought up to 693. The daily production of this field is now better than 54,000 barrels a day. The field now holds second place in the production of oil, the Midway-Sunset field holding first honors with a daily production of close to 99,000 barrels daily. The local field now has more wells drilling than it has had during any time this year. The oil companies throughout the Coyote field are getting a little uneasy on account of the shortage of pipe. Early in the week the Standard Oil company found it necessary to shut down a number of wells and lay off a large force of men on the Murphy and Whittier leases. Shortage of 8½ and 10 inch pipe being cause. Local supply houses are unable to get the pipe as fast as needed. The manager of Brea's biggest house stated that his company was getting a little pipe in from the east, the quantity not being any where near equal to the demand. Unless the present pipe shortage can be remidied in the near future a large number of wells now in the course of drilling in the field will have to be closed down. Under the present circumstances very little wildcattling can be expected to be carried on by new companies coming into the field on account of the inability to get the necessary supplies. Encouragement lingers, with the fact that the gas pressure is quite noticeable and it may be possible that the water can be exhausted by long pumping. The Standard has two wells under course of drilling on the Emery lease. No. 32 is standing cemented, and No. 34 is drilling at 2815. On the Murphy lease four wells have been cemented and will probably stand until the pipe situation clarifies a little. Drilling is proceeding with No. 23at 3814 feet. No. 29 has been finished at a depth of 4095 feet and is pumping 300 barrels a day. No. 30 is drilling at 3995. No. 31 is standing cemented at 4000 feet. No. 33 is drilling at 3311. No. 34 is cemented at 3311. No. 35 is being tested out at 3327. No. 36 stands cemented at 3-245. No. 37 is being tested out for water at 2860 feet. No. 38 is drilling at 2700 feet. No. 39 the latest well started on the Murphy is down 1930 feet. Three new wells have been started on the Whittier lease. No. 55 is being rigged up for drilling. A cellar is being dug for No. 56. No. 57 has a completed rig marking the new location. No. 49 is standing cemented at 2300. No. 50 is also cemented at 1830 feet. No. 51 and 52 are being tested out for water. Nos. 53, and 54 are drilling at 1145 and 334 respectively. The Standard Oil company is still leading all the developers at Montebello. The company has eight wells in process of drilling. On the Baldwin lease No. 3 well that made the new fied famous is holding up remarkably well. The present figure is 6500 barrels daily, and the well continues to flow. Nos. 4 and 5 are standing cemented. No. 6 is drilling at 2855. No. 8 stands cemented at 1990. No. 9 is being tested out at 2125. No. 10, is the leading developer of the old Olinda field and the company is meeting with success in a very large measure. No. 78 is drilling at 2426. No. 79 stands cemented. At No. 80 drilling is going ahead at 2495. No. 81 has made 1845 feet of hole and drilling is going good. No. 82 started recently has 253 feet of hole. Work has begun on No. 83 a new well with rig building. DRUNKEN MEXICAN MURDERS HIS WIFE Shoots Hole Through His Own Head, But Will Live Monday night about 10 o'clock Arthur Borrego of Santa Ana shot his wife to death and attempted suicide. After an absence from home since August, he returned Monday night. A cuarrel ensued, and the shooting came quickly. The woman died with a bullet through her heart. The man was taken to the county hospital with a wound from his mouth upward into the forehead. Borrego has been arrested a number of times there for drinking and for wife beating. The family lived at 518 East Third street. City Marshal Jerigan states that the woman, known also as Mrs. Piedad Ramos, started the Mexican restaurant opposite the postoffice several years ago, and ran it in a law abiding manner. A member of the family states that a few months ago Borrego got into trouble at Long Beach in relation to an embezzlement, and with his oldest son, aged 17, went to San Diego, leaving the wife and six other children at their home at 518 East Third street, where they have lived for several years. To support the family, the woman opened a Spanish restaurant on East Fourth street near the depot. When the woman and her daughter, Blanche, aged about 14, returned The findings of the federal labor commission in session with representatives of the oil operators and the oil and gas workers union at Santa Barbara early in the week have been received here. The oil workers got all they demanded. The oil companies feel that it was only a matter of time when the eight hour day would have to be installed, in fact one of the companies has tried out the eight hour day and found it very satisfactory. The great army of men who toll for the operators have received what they considered justly due them, and the oil companies are making arrangements as fast as possible to get adjust dto the new order of things. The utting in of the eight hour day means the addition of some 200 men to the force of the field and will add quite materially to the several companies' pay rolls. It is believed that all the oil companies will work in harmony with the labor commission's recommendations and no trouble of any kind is expected to occur. The Amalgamated Oil Co. has started drilling on their well at Montebello and are down 100 feet. The well is on the Durefe property and is considered to be one of the very promising properties in the new field. At Huntington near Los Angeles, the Amalgamated have passed the 2000 mark in their initial test well. Nothing of any importance has yet been noticed. The hole is in excellent condition an ddrilling is going ahead rapidly. On the Anaheim Union Water Co.'s lease the Amalgamated has completed No. 56 at a depth of 2650. The well is on the beam and making 600 barrels a day. Drilling of Hualde No. 2 has reached 3412. No. 9 on the same lease has been cemented at 2265. The Brea Canyon Oil Co. operating north of Brea have two wells drilling. No. 14 is down 3088 feet. No. 29 is leading all the developers at Montebello. The company has eight wells in process of drilling. On the Baldwin lease No. 3 well that made the new fied famous is holding up remarkably well. The present figure is 6500 barrels daily, and the well continues to flow. Nos. 4 and 5 are standing cemented. No. 6 is drilling at 2855. No. 8 stands cemented at 1990. No. 9 is being tested out at 2125. No. 10, is cemented at 2125. No. 11 is rotating at 1512 feat. On the Temple lease No. 2 continues to produce 500 bbls. No. 3 is drilling at 2168. No. 4 is a new location at which a rig is being built. At Dominguez the Standard is down 4900 feet. At this great depth the formation is brown shale and shows no indication of oil whatever. Drilling is going nicely and the condition of the hole for going ahead is good. The Union Oil company started the week by building a new rig on Naranjal property, for No. 11 a well located a few days ago. Preparations for commencement of work on property east of Montebello leased from the Valley View Land and Water Co. also started this week. The conglomerate stratum encountered at the comparative shallow depth of 227 feet at Chapman No. 1 continues at a depth of 1473 feet, and the drilling is very slow. The rotary with Sharp & Hughes and also fish tail bits are being used. A few feet a day is the best than can be made. The conglomerate stratum is the deepest that has ever been struck anywhere. The well is costing a pile of money. On the Graham Loftus the Union has five strings of tools running. No. 41 is drilling in the oil sand at 3240. No. 42 is drilling at 3300. No. 43 has been cemented at a depth of 2850. No. 49 is being temporarily held back on account of losing some drill pipe in the hole. The depth is 1800 feet and it is believed the pipe will be easily recovered and drilling resumed in a few days. No. 51 was drilled to a little better than 1300 feet with the rotary and is now being rigged up for a member of the family states that a few months ago Borrego got into trouble at Long Beach in relation to an embezzlement, and with his oldest son, aged 17, went to San Diego, leaving the wife and six other children at their home at 518 East Third street, where they have lived for several years. To support the family, the woman opened a Spanish restaurant on East Fourth street near the depot. When the woman and her daughter, Blanche, aged about 14, returned home Monday night they found Borrego there. Blanche says she thinks her father was drunk. Mrs. Borrego began to berate him for returning home, saying that he always made trouble when at home. Borrego drew a revolver and rushed at his wife. She fell over backward, tripping on a bicycle, and before she could arise Borrego fired two shots at her, one going through the heart. She was struck by but one bullet. Borrego turned the weapon upon himself and fired. The bullet entered the side of the mouth, ranged upward, came out under the eye and entered again back of the eye brow. PRICES AMUCK Nothing could better illustrate the need of some kind of government regulation of food prices and food supply than the fact that in certain parts of the country today undressed turkeys for Thanksgiving use are quoted at 18 cents a pound, while in other parts of the country 65 cents a pound is asked. The difference between 18 cents and 65 cents is sufficient to suggest that so long as the government, through its food administrator, is pleading with the people to conserve beef, mutton and pork, through increased use of poultry, the price of poultry to the people should bear some definite relationship to the cost of production plus a fair profit. It may not be possible that turkey in the state of Pennsylvania shall sell at the same price as on the plains of Texas. Nevertheless there is no logical justification for the difference between 18 cents and 65 cents within the bounds of the United States. Another illustration of this same lack of logic in prices of food material for Thanksgiving is shown in the price of cranberries, which varies all the way from 18 cents a pound to 15 cents a quart. There can be no question whatever On the Anaheim Union Water Co.'s lease the Amalgamated has completed No. 56 at a depth of 2650. The well is on the beam and making 600 barrels a day. Drilling of Hualde No. 2 has reached 3412. No. 9 on the same lease has been cemented at 2265. The Brea Canyon Oil Co. operating north of Brea have two wells drilling. No. 14 is down 3088 feet. No. 29 is drilling at 3060 feet. Both wells are in fine shape and the drilling is going good. No. 30 stands rigged up. Field Manager Twitchell of the Copa De Oro Oil Co. in a recent interview with the oil correspondent stated that his well in Chino canyon had taken on a more encouraging aspect during the last few days. At depth of 3600 feet a sand of pretty fair quality has been struck and it begins to look as though the company is going to get a well yet. This company is deserving of success in that they went out some two miles from any productive field and commenced drilling, and any success they may have will open up a vast new field. The Tri-State Oil Co. have resumed drilling on their La Habra well at a depth of 5200 feet. The tools are operating in a sand that looks very good and it is possible that one of the deepest wells in the field will turn out to be an oil well worth mentioning. The Thos. Strain well at Placentia has turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment. The well represents some five years labor and an expenditure of close to $90,000. A depth of 3900 feet was cleaned out and tubed. The well is making some 300 barrels daily, the most of the fluid being waidly. On the Graham Loftus the Union has five strings of tools running. No. 41 is drilling in the oil sand at 3240. No. 42 is drilling at 3300. No. 43 has been cemented at a depth of 2850. No. 49 is being temporarily held back on account of losing some drill pipe in the hole. The depth is 1800 feet and it is believed the pipe will be easily recovered and drilling resumed in a few days. No. 51 was drilled to a little better than 1300 feet with the rotary and is now being rigged up for standard tools. On the Hole lease three wells are drilling. No. 15 is in the oil sand at 3260. No. 16 is putting in perforated pipe and the well drilled to 3550 will be put on the beam by the end of the week. A fair well is expected. No. 17 is in the oil sand at 3400 and drilling continues. The Union Oil company is about to complete one of the best and most up-to-date oil camps to be found anywhere in the state at Montebello on its La Merced lease property. Every convenience will be put in for the men and the new camp will be a regular home place for the men who work there. Drilling at La Merced embraces five wells. No. 2 is still being held back on account of a fishing job at 2000 feet. Drilling at No. 3 has advanced to 1600 feet. No. 4 is on the rotary and has made 800 feet. No. 5 stands cemented. No. 6 is being rigged up and will start drilling in a few days. Difficulties caused by the parting and collapsing of casing has rendered progers rather slow at Myer No. 3 during the past week. However the pipe is being removed and drilling will be going ahead again before the end of the week. The Santa Fe Oil company is now at the same price as on the plains of Texas. Nevertheless there is no logical justification for the difference between 18 cents and 65 cents within the bounds of the United States. Another illustration of this same lack of logic in prices of food material for Thanksgiving is shown in the price of cranberries, which varies all the way from 18 cents a pound to 15 cents a quart. There can be no question whatever that if this war is to continue indefinitely, and that is the present prospect, there will have to come a closer regulation of food prices than has yet been undertaken. If the people are expected to respond quickly, generously and graciously to the demands of the government for right economy and contributions to the various neces- of the old Olin company is meeting every large measure. No. 2426. No. 79 stands at 80 drilling is going. No. 81 has made 1845 drilling is going good. Presently has 253 feet begun on No. 83 building. AN ORDERS HIS WIFE High His Own Head, Call Live About 10 o'clock Arsanta Ana shot his attempted suicide. He from home since Monday night. A the shooting came died with a bulmart. The man was only hospital with a mouth upward into arrested a number drinking and for family lived at 518 City Marshal Jerthe woman, known and Ramos, started arrant opposite the years ago, and ran manner. The family states that Borrego got into reach in relation to and with his oldest to San Diego, leavex other children at East Third street, lived for several part of the family, the Spanish restaurant near the depot. and her daughter, about 14, returned sites of the nation, it is not only just, but it will be found to be indispensable that there shall be some measure of protection to the people from irresponsible cupidity in fixing prices of the particular kinds of food material the government asks the people to purchase as a means of helping the government. This question of food prices has another bearing on the conduct of the war easily to be overlooked. It is important that the nation's thinking with reference to the war be rational. Hysteria is certainly to be avoided. If there is one type of hysteria worse than all others in its effect on the public thinking, it is financial hysteria. Naturally enough the emergencies of war cause men and women to plan in view of possible financial strain in the home life of the people. This easily leads to special endeavor to build up home balance by securing top prices for everything disposed of. This high price mania gets to be a contagion in a community unless restrained, works general demoralization of business dealings among the people. The man who believes himself robbed through exorbitant prices is likely to attempt to recoup his depleted pocketbook by an attempt to "do" somebody else. Possibly something can be done governmentally to inculcate a saner thrift. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF SCHOOL CHILDREN Systematic work is under way and will be carried out at once in having every child in the schools of the county undergo a physical examination to determine whether or not the pupil needs special physical training or whether he should be excused from the regular physical training required by law. Examination blanks have been pre-give to each pupil this sheet, which is to be taken to the pupil's family physician, who will make an examination covering the points specified on the reverse side, without charge. If the pupil has no regular family physician, or should be fall to return the blank properly filled out within a reasonable length of time, the board of education., or school trustees are authorized to employ a physician to examine the pupil. These examining physicians are to be chosen from a list of those willing and qualified to undertake the work, which will be submitted by the Medical Association. These physicians are to be paid for their services at the rate of $5 per half day. In the case of girls the examination will be such that undressing will not be necessary and wherever available, a woman physician will be employed to do the work. Parents are urged to read carefully the report of the family physician. If the pupil is examined by a physician employed by the school, parents will be notified if any medical attention is necessary. The law excuses no one from physical training except for physical disabilities. The purpose of this law is to give every pupil a stronger physique through progressive physical exercises, including calisthenics, marching, drills and games, all of which will be under the general supervision of the state commissioner of physical education. With the active cooperation of parents and teachers great good should be accomplished. LAND SALE SOUGHT Charles P. Rice and S. H. Stanley of Tustin through their attorney, E. T. Chapman, ask for goodly amounts from the Pacific Electric for lands selected for the new line of the railroad from Santa Ana to Irvine. Rice asks OF SCHOOL CHILDREN Systematic work is under way and will be carried out at once in having every child in the schools of the county undergo a physical examination to determine whether or not the pupil needs special physical training or whether he should be excused from the regular physical training required by law. Examination blanks have been prepared, and have been approved by the Orange County Medical association, which provide for examinations covering age, weight, height, girth of chest, general examination of head, lungs and abdomen, nose and throat, heart eyes, ears and teeth. The particulars of this examination are explained in a blank which will be given to the students. That this examination will be a great deal of work to the physicians of the county, who have offered to donate their services for the good of the school, is realized when it is considered that there are 760 students in the Santa Ana high school alone, and that this examination extends to every child in the school down to the elementary grades. The following statement signed by County Superintendent of Schools R. P. Mitchell, printed on the reverse side of the examination blank, explains the purpose and details of the work. The statement follows: To Boards of Education, School Trustees, Teachers and Parents: A law passed by the last session of the legislature requires that every pupil in the elementary schools of California be given twenty minutes instruction in physical training daily, and that those in the high schools be given two hours a week. To secure the greatest benefit from this required work and to safeguard the interests of pupils and teachers a physical examination is necessary. Through the cooperation of the Orange County Medical Association, arrangements have been made for this examination, as follows: The principal of each school will LAND SALE SOUGHT Charles P. Rice and S. H. Stanley of Tustin through their attorney, E. T. Chapman, ask for goodly amounts from the Pacific Electric for lands selected for the new line of the railroad from Santa Ana to Irvine. Rice asks for $7900 and Stanley for $7800. Both men say they will have to move their houses and barns, and Stanley asks that the Pacific Electric be ordered by the court to purchase a corner of his place, which will be clipped off from the rest. FULLERTON WOMAN IN WRECK May Koehl, aged 21 years, of 929 Community street, Los Angeles, was probably fatally injured Tuesday as she was alighting from a street car at Seventh and Anderson streets when she was struck by an auto driven by Mrs. Julia Carpenter of Fullerton. Mrs. Carpenter, in a hysterical condition, was taken to the receiving hospital with Miss Koehl, who was operated on by police surgeons in an effort to save her life. A marriage license was issued Tuesday to Alfred Pellegrin and Miss Emma F. Homer, both of Anaheim.

D. Recently while mowing hay a spark from his pipe set fire to the grass. The flames set fire to nets on his horses. The team ran to the barn, and on the way the flames caught a 100 acres wheat field and destroyed it. The team dashed into the barn with the mowing machine in flames. The barn caught fire. A hevy wind carried a shingle from the burning barn to several stacks of grain and they were destroyed. Bovey says he was lucky—he wasn't injured.
