WALNUT CROP SHORT IN FULLERTON DISTRICT Prices, However, High and Quality of Nut Good Walnut growers of the Fullerton district have harvested probably 500 tons of walnuts less this season than they would have harvested had it not been for that unusual hot spell in June. Those are figures estimated by the four institutions which handle the walnut crop in Fullerton, and are shipping in all 1430 tons of high grade nuts. However the quality of meat is equal to that of last year, possibly better, and the returns are fully as good. The Fullerton-Placentia Walnut Growers' association, of which Walter Staley is secretary, which has 140 members, has practically closed the season. Upwards of 630 tons have been treated and shipped. Less than 25 sacks were off grade, and about 30 per cent were No. 2s. The shipments averaged better than 90 per cent good. This association was organized in 1894 as the Fullerton Walnut Growers association and incorporated in 1899. In 1907 the name was changed to include Placentia. The American Fruit Distributors, of which A. Kohner is the manager buys and sells on their own account. They will run a few more days, cleaning up, and in the end will have bought and sold something over 300 tons. Mr. Kohner reports the crop 30 per cent short on account of the June heat, and says about two-thirds will be No. 1's, and that there will be few, if any, off grades, the other third being No. 2's. The Benchley Fruit company which handles for the Golden Belt Fruit Co., as well as for itself, handled for both concerns an even 500 tons. W. L. Benchley, the head of the Benchley are also of special interest just now when another generation, the second since the Civil war, is furnishing its tithe to Mars. There were 2,778,309 volunteers recorded in the Union armies, and of that great number of those who followed the flag, only 46,626 had passed their 25th birthday. But perhaps that is not more surprising than the fact that 2,159,798 were under 22 years of age, while 1,151,438 were under 19 years. It was the boys of the land who followed Grant to Appomattox and its famous apple tree. The figures with reference to ages of those who enlisted in 1861-1865, obtained from official sources, are as foliows: Total No. this age 10 and under ... 25 25 11 and under ... 38 13 12 and under ... 225 187 13 and under ... 300 75 14 and under ... 1,523 1,223 15 and under ... 104,987 103,464 16 and under ... 231,051 126,064 17 and under ... 844,891 613,840 18 and under ... 1,161,438 306,547 21 and under ... 2,159,798 1,008,360 22 and over ... 618,511 571,885 25 and over ... 46,626 30,555 44 and over ... 16,071 16,071 It will be observed that in the table above, the last column shows the number of men of the specific age set out—that is to say, there were 613,840 boys who were 17 years of age, while the figures in the first column of that same line show that there were 844,891 boys 17 years or younger. In other words; the figures in the first column are cumulative each one including all that go before That does not apply however, to the last three items, which are cumulative from the bottom instead of from the top of the column. We could wish it were not so, and it seems a bitter sacrifice to lay the youth of the land upon the altar of law the federal authority explosives fall off evilly disposed to a stop to all further STORE FAIR If the water which the farm in time served for times owed to fields might be live stock frostet.

The Benchley Fruit company which handles for the Golden Belt Fruit Co., as well as for itself, handled for both concerns an even 500 tons. W. L. Benchley, the head of the Benchley Fruit company says he believes the June heat ruined full half the crop. He argues that the crop up to that time was abnormal, and if it had not been blighted by the heat would have broken all records, with a lot to spare. The nuts treated by this company ran practically the same as the other two organizations, viz.: about one-third No. 2's. The company is now cleaning up the straggling ends, otherwise the season is closed. CATTLE RECEIPTS INCREASE Shipments of cattle to markets have increased this year, by comparison with the same period of 1916, according to stock yard receipts reported to the bureau of markets of the department of agriculture. During the same period, market receipts of both hogs and sheep have decreased as compared with last year. In September, 1917, 2,242,125 cattle were received at 47 of the principal stock yards in the United States. For the same month in 1916, 1,737,619 cattle were reported. During the first eight months of 1917, 12,501,641 cattle were received in these stock yards and for the first eight months of 1916, 9,839,170 were received. In September of this year 1,496,190 hogs came to these stock yards, while 2,356,020 hogs were received in September, 1916. Total hog receipts for the first eight months of 1917 were 24,278,476, while 27,043,482 were recorded the first eight months last year. There were 2,292,259 sheep shipped to centralized markets in September, 1917, compared with 2,534,337 for September, 1916. This year 9,426,637 sheep came to these stock years during the first eight months; and 10,406,783 were received during the first eight months of 1916. Teh stocker and feeder movement of both cattle and sheep from markets has been heavier this year than nlast. In September 1917, 503,160 stocker and feeder movement of both cattle and sheep from markets has been heavier this year than nlast. CARS IN SOUTHLAND There are already 127,054 motor cars in this section of the state, according to figures made public this week by the Automobile Publishing company. Los Angeles, one of the most important distributing points for the entire motor industry, has 51,174 of Southern California's 127,054. Los Angeles county is credited with 79,956. The distribution of the 127,054 cars among the ten Southern California counties are: Los Angeles ... 79,956 San Diego ... 9,114 Orange ... 7,014 San Bernardino ... 6,694 Kern ... 6,503 Santa Barbara ... 4,567 Riverside ... 4,413 Imperial ... 3,643 San Luis Obispo ... 2,007 BRASS IN SOLDIER'S EQUIPMENT Included in the equipment furnished each infantryman by the war department are 62.7 ounces of brass.

HAD PASS WORD A Sammy wandered away from one of the American training camps "somewhere in England" and stumbled into a nearby British camp after dusk. "Halt, who goes there?" challenged the Tommy. "Who the hell wants to know," the wanderer countered. "Pass, American," said the sentry. AGE OF CIVIL WAR VOLUNTEERS Of the 2,731,309 soldiers who volunteered in the Union armies during the Civil war, approximately only two per cent were 25 years of age, or older. The figures are amazing, and they DRAFT MEN SHOULD HAVE PERMITS TO TRAVEL No passport is required by the state department to go to Canada, but persons subject to draft who desire to cross the line are often delayed while their cases are being investigated. When any registered person desires a passport or to go to Canada he may apply to his local board for a permit. If he is not likely to be called within the period of the proposed absence or if the board is otherwise assured that his absence will not result in evasion of or interference with the execution of the draft law, he may obtain the permit by giving his address while absent and by agreeing to keep himself informed of any call upon him and to return immediately upon call. USERS OF EXPLOSIVES MUST SEURE LICENSE A federal license is now required in the United States for the legal possession of explosives, any person having explosives and not holding a license therefore being subject to a fine of $5,000 and imprisonment for one year. Only citizens of the United States and friendly countries may obtain licenses. The purchaser of dynamite must state definitely what the explosive is to be used for when obtaining his license, and will be held accountable for its use as stated and the return of any that may be left.

STORE FARM WATER If the water which goes to waste on the farm in time of plenty were conserved for times of drought, gardens and fields might be saved from failure and live stock from a sacrifice market. Farm reservoirs store water of streams, pumped water, or run off water until it is needed. A widely increased interest in pump irrigation has created a demand for storage facilities to retain water lifted by the pump overnight and to provide a large irrigation stream for the following day. That farmers who contemplate building reservoirs may be properly guided in the work a new publication, Farmers' Bulletin 828, "Farm Rerervoirs," discussing the various types and details of construction, recently has been published by the United States department of agriculture. The use to which the farm reservoir is to be put should determine the type of construction, according to the writer of the bulletin. If it is intended to use any part of the stored water for drinking purposes or even for culinary purposes the entire supply must be kept free from pollution, while if the supply is intended for irrigation only, the purity of the water need not be considered. If a reservoir is intended for both irrigation and the watering of farm animals, care should be taken in planning and building so that damage can not be done by the trampling of stock. Problems of building, how to locate a reservoir, when a concrete lining is advisable, how to "puddle" an unlined reservoir, how to build inlets, outlets, wasteways, embankments and how to protect the reservoir—all are discussed and illustrated in the bulletin. were largely directed toward protecting deer, elk, antelope and sheep. The bulletin "Game Laws for 1917" which analyzes in detail the game laws of each state, should be of interest to bird lovers and of special value to sportsmen who wish to observe the statutes. JUDGMENT RENDERED AGAINST CARL JORN Court Decides Compensation Law Protects Man While on Way Home Judgment of $2851.60 has been given by Judge Thomas in favor of the state compensation insurance fund against Carl y. Jorn. Insurance agent of Orange. The case produced some interesting legal points, which are reviewed in the judge's decision. Earl Summers of Orange was employed by E. G. Holmes of Santa Ana upon Holmes' orchards north of Orange. According to Judge Thomas' findings, Summers had quit work for the day and was on his way home when his motorcycle and an automobile driven by Jorn collided. In the accident, Summers had several bones broken. Holmes carried an insurance policy with the state to cover all of his employees, and it was the state fund that brought the action against Jorn, alleging that Jorn was careless in his driving and was responible for the accident. The defendant's attorney, F. C. Drumm and H. C. Head, contended that the decision of the industrial accident commission finding Summers was in Holmes' employ at the time of the accident was an error, since Summers had started home. Judge Thomas agrees with the defendant that Summers was on his way home and was not in Holmes' employ at the time of the accident. However, the decision of the industrial accident commission upon that point is final, WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP When will the slaughter of war end? What will be the chief peace conditions? Will Russia support its allies? Will other empires and monarchies be overthrown? Neither emperors, kings, presidents or statesmen can answer these questions now. The great American public can't answer them, or others as vital. World politics are in a jumble with final solution apparently to be left to force of arms. The American public, however, does know one thing definitely—the war will be won in the kitchens and at the tabes of the nation. President Wilson and Herbert C. Hoover have so declared.' Uncle Sam expects to feed his armies and those of his allies with the surplus created by economy in American home sand public eating places. How can every patriotic man, woman and child in California's agricultural communities do his or her part in food conservation? The United States Food administration for California, in reply to thousands of inquiries on this point, has briefly summed up what the individual can do to air the government win the war for democracy, with a few figures showing what concerted saving in the nation's home will aggregate in a year, as follows: The Family—Eat less beef, pork, veal; sugar, wheat flour and wheat products; use less butter and cream. Waste nothing. Save food morning, noon and night, yet eat enough to maintain full physical and mental strength. Ask your neighbors to do likewise. Observe the meatless, wheatles sand ice-creamless days in thought, word and deed. The Father—Plant more acreage if you can. Plant crops to the best advantage. See that the family wastes nothing. Exert every effort to stim- In other first colls does not three from the top of the so, and lay the altar of musus, and have been one ever enforce prevent be considered. If a reservoir is intended for both irrigation and the watering of farm animals, care should be taken in planning and building so that damage can not be done by the tramping of stock. Problems of building, how to locate a reservoir, when a concrete lining is advisable, how to "puddle" an unlined reservoir, how to build inlets, outlets, wasteways, embankments and how to protect the reservoir—all are discussed and illustrated in the bulletin. The most common source of supply for farm reservoirs is the well, from which water is raised to the necessary height by a windmill, gas engine, or electric motor. The flow from springs lakes, flowing wells, and small creeks forms another source of supply. Also it that borderland between humidity and aridity known as the Great Plains area, and through the arid region, the so called dry creeks carry considerable water at times. Part of this run-off the specialist declares, often can be led into a reservoir and stored for watering stock and irrigating land. In the Atlantic and East central states and, in fact, throughout the entire humid region, water to fill farm reservoirs generally can be obtained readily at low cost from springs, lakes, shallow wells and streams. Bogs or muck beds, which abound, particularly in the Atlantic coast states, often can be converted at small cost from mosquito breeding grounds into serviceable reservoirs. THRIFT THOUGHT Spread the meat flavor over other foods and so economize on the quantity of meat consumed, says the department of agriculture. Here is one way to spread the flavor. Make a stew from a cheap cut of meat cut into small pieces, potatoes, and such other vegetables as are desired. Thicken with a little flour diluted with cold water. Serve with dumplings made as follows: Mix and sift one cup of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, and one fourth teaspoonful of salt. Work in with the fingers one teaspoonful of butter; add gradually one third of a cup of milk, or a little more if needed. Roll out on half inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter or in square pieces. The dumplings may be steamed, baked like biscuits, or cooked with the stew. In the later case accident. The defendant's attorney, F.C. Drumm and H.C. Head, contended that the decision of the industrial accident commission finding Summers was in Holmes' employ at the time of the accident was an error, since Summers had started home. Judge Thomas agrees with the defendant that Summers was on his way home and was not in Holmes' employ at the time of the accident. However, the decision of the industrial accident commission upon that point is final, and cannot be changed by the superior court. Judge Thomas finds, however, that Jorn was negligent, and that judgment should go against him. Under the law, the claim of the injured man has been assigned to the state, and should the state not have a just claim, Summers could sue and get judgment against Jorn. But one judgement for one injury could be given against Jorn, and it was imaterial, from that point of view whether it was given to the state or to Summers direct. The judgment is given for $2000 for damages and $851.60 for medical and hospital attention expenses. NARROW ESCAPE It is a wonder that George Cline, his son, Charles Cline; Frank A. Ross and Tom Porter all of Fullerton are not all killed or permanent crippled as a result of an automobile accident they had Monday evening. The four had taken a drive to Pomona in George Cline's Willys-Knight, with Cline, who is an unusually careful driver, at the wheel. They had started on the return trip, and about 6:30, after following a trailer for some distance, turned out to pass the truck and collided with another machine occupied by one man and two dogs. Cline's machine was turned over, possibly twice, and landed upside down. Frank Ross was the most seriously injured, being quite badly cut about the head and dazed when picked up. The others received only slight bruises. The man in the machine with which they collided was not injured and his machine was only slightly damaged. Laurence Schultz, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Schultz of Chapman avenue, Fullerton. who was in the navy for three months at San Diego, left San Francisco for Harvard university The Father—Plant more acreage if you can. Plant crops to the best advantage. See that the family wastes nothing. Exert every effort to stimulate and increase the production of your farm and the farms in your community. Remember that the nation's food surplus will win the war and that every ounce saved is a blow to German imperialism. The Mother—Establish practical economy in your kitchen. Observe the wheatless and meatless days. Keep surplus foods off the table. Use more white flour substitutes, fewer eggs, less milk and cream; kill a chicken instead of buying beef; substitute brown for white sugar and use less of both; use less lard and fats; count that day lost that sees nothing saved in those staples needed by the boys in the trenches. Study and use simple recipes in cooking. Write to the food administration experts for these recipes. The Boy—East brown sugar instead of white on that after school sandwich. Plant your own garden. Help father get the last ounce out of his farm. Don't ask mother for cookies, pams and jellies—all of which take sugar—too often. Don't spill the milk pail and be kin do the cow. The country needs her. In short, be a good boy and show Uncle Sam that you are with him. The Girl—Help your mother to set a plain wholesome table, without frills. Study war time food conservation recipes and learn the war time art of making half a loaf do the work of a full loaf. Impress upon the family that they must conserve foods—the nation needs it and our allies must have it. The government's food experts say that if every person in America will save one ounce of sugar a day, the grand total will be one million tons a year. If each home in the United States saves one ounce of meat a day in one year we save 465,000,000 pounds. One slice of bread saved daily in each home saves 465,000,000 loaves annually. PROTECTION FOR GAME The perpetuation of migratory birds and game was made subject of over 200 separate state and other laws passed in 1917, according to the summary of game laws of that year issued by the Bureau of Biological Survey, Thirty-eight of the 43 states which held legislative sessions made more or less extensive changes in their game laws. Several codified their statutes and effort to bring open seasons for migratory birds to conform to the federal regulations was widespread. A number of shooting seasons were shortened, and in some states the killing of such birds as sage grouse, quail, prairie chickens, wild turkeys, doves and shore birds was prohibited in certain localities for several years. The Mount McKinley park in Alaska was made a federal game reservation. Forty state game preserves were established by state action in ten states, as follows; 16 in California, six each in Montana and Wyoming, four in Arizona, three in Idaho, and one each in Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington and Wisconsin.

THE PACIFIC TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY Establish additional payrolls was Mr. Crawford says he has received Look for the Blue Bell Sign of the Telephone. THE PACIFIC TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY Establish additional payrolls was the keynote of several good talks at the meeting of the board of trade on Monday evening. Already Anaheim has several excellent enterprises giving employment to a large number of people, but there is room for more. When men and women are given employment all branches of business receive their quota of trade and prosperity is then abroad in the land. There are many men here financially able to start something and why they don't get busy is past finding out. Invest your dollars in legitimate enterprises and watch the wheels go round. It would build up the community and would make people happier, besides good interest on your money would be obtained. Who will start the ball rolling? The grand jury committee have just examined the books of the city clerk, and found them in the best of order. All moneys have been accounted for, and the clerk was complimented for the thorough and simplified method of bookkeeping as carried on in his office. Edward Marion was in town a few days ago on a business mission from his orange ranch on Garden Grove road. Mr. Crawford says he has received many letters from people in this community, asking him if he handled vegetables and fruits at his marmalade factory. In each case he gave a negative reply, but he sees a fine opening here for concerns to handle these products. The ventures would be successful beyond a shadow of a doubt. There are plenty of men here financially able to take hold of these enterprises, and Mr. Crawford would like to see several establishments started by Anaheim men, and not donate funds to outsiders to finance them when it all could be done right at home. Wilfred Schryer and John Bandini, Jr., who enlisted last week in the United States navy, left Monday for Mare Island where they will go into training. A farewell party was given the boys at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Schryer Sunday, a number of their young friends being present to give the boys a send off. Alvin Schryer, brother of Wilfred, is already in the service being a member of the coast artillery. John Richards of Olive came over the other day to see what a real live town looked like.
