SUGAR SITUATION IN HANDS OF HOOVER GOVERNMENT WILL APPOINT A COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE AND SETTLE DIFFERENCES STRENUOUS MEASURES MAY BE TAKEN TO PREVENT THE THREATENED SHORTAGE OF PRODUCT One of the serious situations confronting the nation at present is the prospect of a sugar shortage the coming season. Because of the war the sugar industry in France, Belgium and Russia has been practically destroyed, and our allies were looking to America to make up the deficit, but owing to the deadlock between the growers and refiners there is a possibility that we will fall woefully short of meeting the demands and that the world is facing a sugar famine. This matter is of particular interest to this community as Orange county is one more acute unless the food administration acts immediately, the beet producers told the senate committee. They declared that unless the food administration takes immediate steps to get a fair price for the sugar beet grower the producers will fail to plant next year at least 70 per cent of their lands. They declare that this step must be taken at once because the next year's crop already is in planting. The Southern California sugar beet growers introduced a resolution of the Los Angeles grand jury setting forth that a beet sugar shortage was threatened in California next year because refiners declined to pay growers a reasonable price. District Attorney Woolwine on the stand said that for five years beet sugar growers had lost money. All refiners offered practically the same prices, he said, and he referred to the western beet sugar companies as the combine. The California beet sugar growers described a serious situation existing in this state. J. R. Newberry of Riverside, declared that ordinarily 3100 acres of beets are raised in his vicinity, but he did not think there would be more than 100 acres planted this year under present conditions. R. E. Whitley of Van Nuys, representing growers raising 15,000 acres of sugar beets in that vicinity, said that leases for only about 3200 acres have so far been signed. He said the farmers are patriotic and are willing REVENUE SIZE UP INCOME FEDERAL OFFICER ANAHEIM JANUARY TO HELP YOU BACHELORS MUST PER WEEK, BUILD MEN ARE MOUNTAIN Figure up your information carefully because you must them to the governor affidavit that they are are a bachelor you will an income tax if you twenty dollars per woman of family you are the amount free from. In a communication this paper, Collector enue John P. Carter a federal income tax sent into this county and will be here until will have his office Because of the war the sugar industry in France, Belgium and Russia has been practically destroyed, and our allies were looking to America to make up the deficit, but owing to the deadlock between the growers and refiners there is a possibility that we will fall woefully short of meeting the demands and that the world is facing a sugar famine. This matter is of particular interest to this community as Orange county is one of the greatest sugar producing sections in the United States. The five big plants in this county made more than one hundred million pounds of sugar last year and this output should be greatly increased the coming year, but unless the government at Washington steps in and arbitrarily composes the dispute between the two factions the Orange county sugar crop will be greatly decreased. The growers declare that they cannot afford to raise beets at the price offered by the factories, and the refiners claim they cannot afford to pay more. The matter has been carried to Washington by District Attorney Woolwine of Los Angeles and Attorney Clyde Bishop of Santa Ana, who represents the beet growers' association. It was announced after hearing testimony Saturday that a commission is to be appointed by Food Administrator Hoover to come to Southern California to investigate the sugar beet situation. Conditions in Colorado, Utah and Nebraska where, as in California, a decrease in the amount of acreage for next year is threatened by the controversy between the refiners and the growers will also be examined. The commission will be selected in this manner: The growers will name one member, the refiners will name one member and the other three will be chosen by the Food Administration from among candidates nominated by the refiners and the growers. It is understood that the commission will be asked to serve without pay, except actual expenses. Authority will be given the commission intoquire into the entire status of the beet sugar industry and to recommend to congress legislation to adjust the difficulty. Food Administrator Hoover is hopeful that after the investigation has been concluded an amicable arrangement may be made between the growers and the refiners so that the growers described a serious situation existing in this state. J. R. Newberry of Riverside, declared that ordinarily 3100 acres of beets are raised in his vicinity, but he did not think there would be more than 100 acres planted this year under present conditions. R. E. Whitley of Van Nuys, representing growers raising 15,000 acres of sugar beets in that vicinity, said that leases for only about 3200 acres have so far been signed. He said the farmers are patriotic and are willing to grow beets in response to the government's appeal, providing they don't find out that somebody else is making the money. Herbert Hoover made a futile attempt to get his statement of causes of a sugar famine before the investigating committee. Hoover was to have taken the witness stand, but he was preceded by the western beet producers and was given notice that he could not be heard until after Christmas. Hoover then sent to the committee a prepared statement which he asked to have read into the record. After two executive sessions the committee refused to allow the statement to go into the record and failed to release it for publication. Chairman Reed made a statement in which he said Mr. Hoover's testimony had been deferred in order that the men present from a great distance might be allowed to testify and return to their homes. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA The Hemet Orange Growers' association is planning to ship out a carload of Christmas oranges. The Tournament of Roses at Pasadena New Year's day promises to be the biggest and finest ever. Citrus growers in all sections of Southern California report trees showing wonderfully thrifty growth. The Covina Citrus Association disbursed over $540,000 last year. Its average to growers was $1.11 a box. The Azusa Citrus Association shipped during the past year 150,000 boxes of oranges and returned about $240,000. Great fleets of kelp cutters are working of the Southern shore cutting kelp from which potash is secured. The farm adviser of San Bernardino county recently gave a pruning demonstration to fruit growers of Chino Returns of income must be made on form for the purpose before because a good many derstand the law and to make out their retirement is sending in them you know.

They mean while making your money-paid, hired help, amount sold stock bov asked to serve without pay, except actual expenses. Authority will be given the commission into inquire into the entire status of the beet sugar industry and to recommend to congress legislation to adjust the difficulty. Food Administrator Hoover is hopeful that after the investigation has been concluded an amicable arrangement may be made between the growers and the refiners so that the growers will be assured that they will not plant at a loss, and will receive some profit besides. The decision by Food Administrator Hoover to send the commission into the beet territory is a direct result of conferences which have been held during the past week with District Attorney Woolwine of Los Angeles and representatives of the growers. Woolwine was a witness Saturday before the senate committee on manufacturers, which is investigating the sugar shortage. He related to the committee what the grand jury of Los Angeles had done toward probing the matter and said that unless relief is obtained for the growers there will be an actual shortage of beet sugar next year. Attorney Clyde Bishop also testified that if the price paid for beets is not raised, not more than 40 per cent of the acreage will be planted. If the companies could be made to agree to a fair price, he said the growers will go ahead with their planting and will abide by the agreement. The extreme gravity of the situation was impressed upon the committee when it was explained that those who appeared at the hearing represented 80 per cent of the sugar beet growers of the United States. America's sugar famine will become bursed over $540,000 last year. Its average to growers was $1.11 a box. The Azusa Citrus Association shipped during the past year 150,000 boxes of oranges and returned about $240,000. Great fleets of kelp cutters are working of the Southern shore cutting kelp from which potash is secured. The farm adviser of San Bernardino county recently gave a pruning demonstration to fruit growers of Chino and Ontario. Many ice cream manufacturers advertise that they are using honey instead of sugar for the sweetening of their product. The Riverside Chamber of Commerce is planning for a meeting at Riverside which will discuss the advisability of a farm school in the South. Imperial Valley farmers are elated at news from Washington that Secretary Lane has given to Imperial permission to take waters from Colorado river at the Laguna dam. The board of trustees of Fullerton has passed an ordinance which makes it a misdemeanor to use milk bottles for canning fruit or any other purpose for which they were not intended. The state board of horticultural examiners held an examination last week in Orange coounty for the purpose of qualifying candidates for the position of horticultural commissioner. F. A. Cotter of Los Angeles was a business visitor in town a few days ago. Mr. Cotter owns a 20 acre Valencia orange grove southwest of town which is doing nicely. AHEIM GAZETY Anaheim, California, Thursday, December 27, 1917 REVENUE MAN TO SIZE UP YOUR INCOME FEDERAL OFFICER WILL BE IN ANAHEIM JANUARY 14 TO 22 TO HELP YOU FIGURE BACHELORS MUST PAY ON $20 PER WEEK, BUT MARRIED MEN ARE MORE FOR-TUNATE Figure up your income but be extremely careful that your figures are correct, because you will have to submit them to the government and make affidavit that they are correct. If you are a bachelor you will have to pay an income tax if you are receiving twenty dollars per week, if you are a man of family you are allowed double the amount free from taxation. In a communication received by this paper, Collector of Internal Revenue John P. Carter announces that a federal income tax officer will be sent into this county on January 14, and will be here until January 22. He will have his office in the post office his senses until an hour later when nearing Santa Ana. Although both men are badly bruised and shaken up, neither sustained serious injuries. Vail had a cut on the back of his head, which required medical treatment. Russell, who came before the sheriff and district attorney on Saturday tells his story as follows. With Vail, an El Centro rancher also, Russell started for Los Angeles from Imperial at five o'clock Friday. They had some tire trouble on the way, and when they arrived at San Juan Capistrano at about 6 o'clock Friday evening, they found a bearing had burned out. They stopped at the garage, and the driver of the yellow Cadillac offered to tow them to Santa Ana. "We had a little trouble over the price as he wanted to charge $10 which I thought was too much, but he finally agreed to do it for $5, as he stated that this was his business as he was an auto dealer," said Russell. "He borrowed a rope from the garage there and seemed to be known to them." The El Centro man stated that they had hardly left San Juan Capistrano when the Cadillac began to speed up. When they were going between fifty and sixty miles an hour the four occupants of the car ahead threw out a bottle. Russell and his friend thought they heard a tire blow out, and later felt sure this had happened as the TWO ANAHEIMERS MEET SUDDEN DEATH RICHARD AHERN AND ERNEST LARKIN VICTIMS OF FATAL ACCIDENTS SATURDAY BOTH EMPLOYEES OF STANDARD OIL COMPANY ON BALDWIN LEASE, MONTEBELLO Two Anaheim young men, both employees of the Standard Oil company at Montebello, met accidental death Saturday, and both, were buried by Backs & Terry's undertaking establishment yesterday morning, although the funerals were separate. Richard J. Ahern of West Center street, was killed at 11 o'clock by the cave-in of a trench in which he was working near Montebello. Others working in the trench saw the ground begin to slip and escaped, but Ahern was caught and buried under several feet of soil. Although his companions made frantic efforts to rescue him it was half an hour before the body was uncovered. All efforts to revive him were affidavit that they are correct. If you are a bachelor you will have to pay an income tax if you are receiving twenty dollars per week, if you are a man of family you are allowed double the amount free from taxation. In a communication received by this paper, Collector of Internal Revenue John P. Carter announces that a federal income tax officer will be sent into this county on January 14, and will be here until January 22. He will have his office in the post office in Anaheim and will be there every day ready and willing to help persons subject to the income tax make out their returns without any cost to them for his services. How many income tax payers will there be in Orange county? If you can guess how many married persons living with wife or husband will have a net income of $2,000 or over and how many unmarried persons will have net incomes of $1,000 or over this year, then you know. The collector of internal revenue estimates that there will be 2066 taxpayers in this county. Returns of income for the year 1917 must be made in forms provided for the purpose before March 1, 1918. Because a good many people don't understand the law and won't know how to make out their returns, the government is sending in this expert to do it for them. But the duty is on the taxpayer to make himself known to the government. If he doesn't make return as required before March 1st he may have to pay a penalty ranging from $20 to $1,000, pay a fine or go to jail. So if you don't want to take chances on going to jail, you better call on the income tax man. If you are not sure about being subject to the tax, better ask him and make sure. Whether you see the income tax man or not, you must make return if subject to tax. Of course, persons resident in other counties may, if they want to, come and see the income tax man who will be at Anaheim on the dates mentioned. The collector suggests that everybody start figuring up now his income and expenses so as to be ready with the figures when the expert arrives. Expenses, however, don't mean family expenses, money used to pay off the principal of a debt, new machinery, buildings, or anything like that. They mean what you spend in making your money—interest, taxes paid, hired help, amount paid for goods sold, seed stock bought for feeding. he was an auto dealer," said Russell. "He borrowed a rope from the garage there and seemed to be known to them." The El Centro man stated that they had hardly left San Juan Capistrano when the Cadillac began to speed up. When they were going between fifty and sixty miles an hour the four occupants of the car ahead threw out a bottle. Russell and his friend thought they heard a tire blow out, and later felt sure this had happened, as the car began to move unevenly. "We blew our horn and called to them. They turned around, slowed down to about forty miles and hour, and then laughed in our faces and speeded up again," said Vail. Russell stated that he remembered passing the El Toro cross road, and of going down through some of the gulleys between El Toro and Irvine. Vail got out on the running board and kept calling to the occupants of the car ahead, for the Buick's tires were being torn off by the continual jerking, zigzag motion, and both men saw destruction ahead if the cars were not stopped. However, all the efforts of Vail and Russell were in vain. They did not dare put on the brakes after the first time, for that only made the car rock more. Finally the car turned over, breaking the tug rope. F. W. Roberts and George Duehn, with two others from San Diego, who had been passed by the racing cars, came along and helped Russell out from under the car which pinned him down. The yellow Cadillac turned around and came back. The four occupants, of whom one was a woman, feigned ignorance of the whole affair until accused by Roberts and Duehn, who recognized the machine. They would not give their names, however. The Barsook and Ingle car took in Russell, while Roberts and Duehn brought Vail to town. Russell wanted to stop at the home of J. E. Pearce of Santa Ana, but the Cadillac driver tried to persuade him to go on to Los Angeles where he could get a good doctor's treatment. "They though Vail was too far gone to make any trouble, and I guess they wanted to get me out of the way, too, but nothing doing," said Russell. Russell owns extensive ranch lands in Imperial, and was instrumental in laying down the first canal systems in El Centro. The body was brought to Backs & Terry's where numerous sorrowing friends viewed it Christmas day. The funeral was held yesterday morning, requiem high mass being read at St. Boniface church at 9 o'clock. The remains were interred in Calvary cemetery, Los Angeles. The deceased was 34 years of age and leaves a mother, Mrs. Honora Ahern, and twelve brothers and sisters. He had a wide circle of friends in Anaheim who were shocked to hear of his untimely death. Ernest L. Larkin, whose home was on South East street, also employed on the Baldwin least at Montebello was the second victim of a fatal accident. He died at the receiving hospital in Los Angeles last Saturday after noon from the effect of injuries received when his motorcycle collided with an automobile driven by J. W. McAdams at the corner of Eleventh and Los Angeles streets. Larkin it said, assisted in recovering the lifeless body of his friend, Dick Ahern, earlier in the day, then rode to Los Angeles on his motorcycle where he also met death. A coroner's inquest was held over the body but the jury decided that no blame attached to anybody for the accident. Larkin was formerly manager of the Pacific Telephone company in this city, but gave up the position in order to go into the oil fields. He leaves a wife and small child. He was also employed as a clerk before entering the telephone office, and was widely known and popular in business circles.

Expenses, however, don't mean family expenses, money used to pay off the principal of a debt, new machinery, buildings, or anything like that. They mean what you spend in making your money—interest, taxes paid, hired help, amount paid for goods sold, seed, stock bought for feeding, rent (except for your dwelling), etc. Income includes about every dollar you get. WILD RIDE AT THE END OF A ROPE Automobile Overturns While Being N Towed at Sixty Miles an Hour Traveling at a rate of sixty miles an hour at the end of a tow rope attached to a yellow Cadillas 7-passenger registered to Barstock & Ingle of San Diego, swaying wildly from one side of the El Toro boulevard to the other, D. L. Russell, a pioneer of El Centro and R. B. Vall, of the same city, came to the end of an undesired joy ride at 7 o'clock Friday night when their car turned over two miles the other side of Irvine. Russell, who was driving the car, says the last thing he remembered clearly was that his car which was jumping violently, ziz-zagged back and forth on the boulevard, and he felt it sway nearly over on each jump. He was pinned beneath the car when he saw things in the right light again. Vail, who was thrown from the running board, on which he was standing, yelling and signalling to the occupants of the car ahead, was rendered unconscious and did not recover Angeles where he could get a good doctor's treatment. "They though Vail was too far gone to make any trouble, and I guess they wanted to get me out of the way, too, but nothing doing," said Russell. Russell owns extensive ranch lands in Imperial, and was instrumental in laying down the first canal systems in El Centro. UNCLE SAM AND INDUSTRY Now that Uncle Sam has gone into business for himself on a scale scarcey dreamed of before—building fleets of merchant ships, building railroads, administering railroads, going into banking, building and operating factories, and engaging in a wide variety of other activities which until war came were left wholly to private enterprise—the University of California thinks there is a special timeliness in the course of lectures on the "Relation of Government to Industry and Commerce" to be given at the summer session to be held by the university of California in Los Angeles from June 24 to August 3—the same dates as the Berkeley summer session—by Stuart Daggett, professor of railway economics in the university. In this course, which will include daily lectures for six weeks, Prof. Daggett will sketch the industrial and commercial development of the United States, discuss the theory of the relation of government to industry, the government's responsibilities as regards natural resources, land legislation, the conservation movement, the relation of the government to the trusts and to the railroads, and the relation of government to commerce in such matters as tariff, shipping subsidies and shipping control, and the industrial problems of the great war. City Marshal Kellenberger returned from Oakland several days ago where he attended a convention of the chiefs of police from many cities of the state. The object of the meeting was to formulate plans which the legislature will be asked into laws, whereby the regulation of automobiles may become uniform all over the state. Much confusion and inconvenience is now experienced by motor vehicle owners because of the many different traffic laws as they now exist. Each city has many laws relating to the vehicles which rarely apply to two cities alike. The purpose of the police departments is to remedy this state of affairs. The running down of auto thieves was also given attention by those attending the convention and it is the aim of the police to work in conjunction with each other in pursuit of this class of thievery. Hundreds of machines are stolen annually and it is earnestly expected that through cooperation of the various police departments that the ratio of thefts be reduced to a minimum. Chief Kellenberger reports that much good came from the interchange of opinions and ideas as expressed by those attending the meeting and when the legislature meets that august body will be asked to draft into the statutes such laws as will simplify the method of handling the motor traffic, CHIEFS OF POLICE HOLD PROFITABLE CONVENTION Purpose to Have Laws Drafted of a Uniform Nature to Handle Auto Traffic Although years old from three romance riage.

Marshal Kellenberger is loud in his praise of the hospitality of the northern minions of the law and there was not a dull moment for anyone during the short stay in the up-state metropolis. After the convention a barbecue was given in honor of the visitors and the royal manner in which all were entertained caused happy memories to linger in the minds of the Southern guests who declare that they had the time of their lives. When alighting from the train in Oakland Marshal Kellenberger was agreeably surprised to meet with Marshal Jernigan of Santa Ana, who also traveled north upon the same train, but neither gentleman being aware of the other's presence until their destination was reached. These gentlemen later met with Chief Butler of Los Angeles and were made to feel much at home even though many miles away from their own reservations, Marshal Kellenberger reports Sheriff Barnett of Alameda county one of the finest gentlemen he ever met, who looked after the Southerners' welfare in his usual hospitable manner and they all voted Barnett the best of entertainers. OFFICIAL SESSION HELD UNDER SHINING STARS Huntington Beach Trustees Transact ARTISTIC WORK ON SACRED FIGURES MONTREAL ARTIST RE-PAINTING THE STATUARY AT ST. BONI-FACE CATHOLIC CHURCH WILL ALSO SPEND SOME WEEKS OVERHAULING WORK AT ST. CATHARINE'S ORPHANAGE One of the most artistic pieces of work ever performed in Anaheim has just been completed by N. G. Serafini, of Montreal, Canada, a French artist, for St. Boniface church. All the statuary of the church, nearly thirty pieces, have been repainted and touched up by the artistic brush of the painter, reproducing the rich coloring of the robes and the delicate tints of the flesh. While Mr. Serafini is an artist of rare ability, he is something of a nomad, as he travels from town to town, pausing only long enough to complete a job. His stay in Anaheim is limited to one month. After finishing the work for St. Boniface he will do some OFFICIAL SESSION HELD UNDER SHINING STARS Huntington Beach Trustees Transact Business on Sidewalk Probably for the first time in the history of Huntington Beach, or any other city in Southern California or elsewhere, a session of the city trustees was held on the sidewalk Monday evening. This all occurred because the city officials were unable to gain admission to the council chamber. City Clerk Chas. R. Nutt accompanied the band to Anaheim; City Manager Geo. W. Spencer resides in Long Beach, and City Marshal John Tinsley could not be found just at that time, and President of the Board of Trustees Will Tarbox announced that a short session of the board would be held on the sidewalk, as it was essential that the resolution relative to Newport harbor be passed. Trustee Huston acted as city clerk pro tem, and, while the resolution referred to was in the safe in the city clerk's office, Mr. Houston read what he could remember of it, and a motion to adopt prevailed. Deputy Clerk Huston did not have any paper with him so he wrote the minutes of the session on the wall of the city building. Trustee Huston will probably tell you that the story about his writing the minutes of the meeting on the front wall of the building is about as near correct as the one told by Doc Cook about his picking up the north pole one frosty morning in the solitudes of the frigid zone—and perhaps he is correct. Adjournment was taken until next Monday evening. PROMNENT COUPLE MARRIED Keeping their own counsel, George H. Warren, of Los Angeles, 70 years old, and Mrs. Marian E. Walters, 53 and daughter of a cousin of Gen. U. S. Grant, slipped away to Riverside and were married—then went to Arrowhead Hot Springs for their honey-statuary of the church, nearly thirty pieces, have been repainted and touched up by the artistic brush of the painter, reproducing the rich coloring of the robes and the delicate tints of the flesh. While Mr. Serafini is an artist of rare ability, he is something of a nomad, as he travels from town to town, pausing only long enough to complete a job. His stay in Anaheim is limited to one month. After finishing the work for St. Boniface he will do some decorating at St. Catharine's orphanage and then expects to go elsewhere. For ten years Mr. Serafini studied in Paris where he met the world's greatest artists and absorbed their ideas. While he does not paint portraits he can alter the expression of a bust or a statue and give it a life-like appearance. All his colors are mixed by himself. The work is done in oil, consequently the statues can be washed. Before coming to Anaheim Mr. Serafini repainted all the statuary in St. Joseph's church at Los Angeles, there being nearly sixty pieces. He is an artist of rare ability, and has added much to the beauty of the sacred statues at St. Boniface. excellent. They belong to the quail family, long recognized as game birds, and when properly prepared are as easy to eat as they are to bring to bag. "Mudhen stew a la Bear Valley" already is dividing with wiretail stew the honors of a popular new dish among mountain duck hunters who eat those and bring home the more imposing bigger ducks. It is recommended that the birds be dry picked and the fat which lies under the skin preserved. It makes the birds much better. Broiled, baked, pot-roasted or stewed, either the ruddy duck or the coot is delicious, and once tried, becomes desired ever after. They lend themselves to a myriad of French or Italian or Spanish sauce treatments.

PROMNENT COUPLE MARRIED Keeping their own counsel, George H. Warren, of Los Angeles, 70 years old, and Mrs. Marian E. Walters, 53 and daughter of a cousin of Gen. U. S. Grant, slipped away to Riverside and were married—then went to Arrowhead Hot Springs for their honeymoon trip waiting for their return to inform their children. Mr. Warren, who is a descendant of Gen. Joseph Warren, in whose honor Bunker Hill monument was erected, has one son. Henry Warren, a merchant of Buena Park. The bride is the mother of Mrs. Ray Hasson of Hollywood. Mr. Warren is a retired business man. Although he is three score and ten years old and his bride is not far from three score, it was a whirlwind romance that ended in their marriage. The couple met about two months ago, through a business transaction, and their interest in each other was instantaneous. Mr. Warren has extensive interests in Buena Park and he and his bride will divide their time between there and Los Angeles. MUDHENS GOOD EATING According to the California Fish and Game Commission, mudhens are excellent food in spite of the common sentiment to the contrary. Hunters who shoot mudhens for practice and throw away the birds are wasting their shells, as in dry seasons such as the present, when feeding upon grains, seeds and succulent water plants, the birds are ex- TOURNAMENT OF ROSES Occident and Orient, America and all the countries with which she is allied in the fight for freedom, the beauties of matchless Southern California and the localities which compose it—these will all be typified in the big floral parade and military spectacle which will be given New Year's morning in Pasadena at the annual Tournament of Roses. The glory of the Southland's mid-winter flowers, of which the rose is the undisputed queen, will be the dominant note of this season's Rose Tournament, as in the past. The famous foral parade will be staged for the edification of thousands, with efforts to outdo the successes of the past. And in addition will be the military touch of the times and the participation of army and navy bands and men, who will lalso be on hand to see the championship army-navy football game at tournament park in the afternoon. There will be also the favorite horse equipages and equestrian features of the parade that have made of it a veritable California horse show. To leave out the horses and their carriages and riders would be unheard of. Pasadena is preparing to receive 300,000 visitors on Rose Tournament day. Winter visitors are arriving on every train. Soldiers and sailors without number are planning to spend their New Year's leave at the tournament. The championship Army-Navy football game between Camp Lewis and the famous Mare Island Marines will draw athletic fans from everywhere. The proceeds will go to the Red Cross, So the wartime Rose Tournament will be the biggest yet.
