NO SETTLEMENT YET OF SUGAR TANGLE GROWERS IN MEETING AT LOS ANGELES DEMAND A COMMITTEE INVESTIGATION UNLESS SPEEDY AGREEMENT IS REACHED SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL FALL FAR SHORT OF NORMAL CROP Emphatic opposition to the food administration's proposal to place the sugar beet situation in the hands of the Federal Trade commission for the adjustment of differences between the growers and refiners, was voiced at a conference of leading Southern California growers held Saturday afternoon in the office of District Attorney Woolwine. Indicating the sentiment of the majority of producers, the conference vote may result in a united demand being made by growers organizations throughout the country for the appointment of a commission which would hold hearings on the points at issue, principal of which is the price of beets. The growers of San Fernando Valley, through their representative, R. E. Whitley, Saturday wired a proposal for a compromise measure to Food Controller Hoover. They urge former years, according to growers' estimates. CHICKEN FAT VALUABLE Do you throw away the body fat of poultry, big layers of clean, sweet, yellow fat around the gizzard and found elsewhere around the intestines of the chicken? If you do, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, you are throwing away fat which French housewives consider the finest fats for making cakes and especially puff paste, and which many American housekeepers prize for its many good uses in cookery. In certain seasons in New York and other big cities this fat is so highly esteemed that it brings as much as $1.10 per pound. So great is the demand for this fat that many people make a business of collecting it from butchers and others who dress poultry before delivering it to customers. Housewives would do well to insist on having it delivered if they buy their poultry dressed. By using chicken fat in cooking they can cut down the amount of fat they must buy for that purpose. To prepare it, try it out in a double boiler or other vessel set in hot water until the fat just melts away from the tissues and can be poured off. This fat becomes rancid easily and should be kept cool and covered like butter, and used in a very few days. Chicken fat, like goose fat, may be used for shortening in cakes, such as spice cake, where the seasoning used will mask any flavor which the fat might have. It can also be used for frying the chicken itself or other meats for warming vegetables, and in many other ways. THE LABOR QUESTION Perry W.

FEDERAL AUTHORITY ARE MA People in Orange The growers of San Fernando Valley, through their representative, R. E. Whitley, Saturday wired a proposal for a compromise measure to Food Controller Hoover. They urge that a committee, similar to the one outlined at the Washington conference, be named and proceed with its hearings, but with the distinct understanding that the refiners need not cooperate. It is proposed that the findings of the committee be used by Hoover as a basis for a final decision on the price of sugar beets and beet sugar. The seriousness of the situation is disclosed by a message sent by the San Fernando growers to Senator Johnson. The acropage signed up in the district to date is only 3400 out of 15,000 acres. "Because we had no late news or information from Washington, the conference was simply a round-table discussion over the entire situation," said District Attorney Woolwine. "While no definite action could be taken the sentiment expressed called on Hoover to abide by his promise made at the recent Washington conferences, for the appointment of the committee." At the conclusion of the meeting Clyde Bishop, representing the Associated Beet Growers of Southern California, in voicing the sentiment of the conference, said: "Let us keep on pursuing the promise of the food administration to appoint a commission to take testimony and fix prices of sugar beets in Southern California until that promise is backed up." Demonstrating their desire for an early adjustment of the price differences, which threatens to paralyzize the sugar beet industry and to greatly shorten the nation's precious sugar supply, several growers expressed their willingness to stand one-half of any decline in the price of the raw material. Speaking for this group, R. E. Whitley of Van Nuys, who accompanied the district attorney to Washington, said: "We are willing as growers to share one-half of any decline, but easily and should be kept cool and covered like butter, and used in a very few days. Chicken fat, like goose fat, may be used for shortening in cakes, such as spice cake, where the seasoning used will mask any flavor which the fat might have. It can also be used for frying the chicken itself or other meats for warming vegetables, and in many other ways." THE LABOR QUESTION The problem of labor for the year 1918 was recently discussed at a meeting of the defense council in San Francisco. At that time it was decided to let down the bars and bring in Mexicans to work the ranches. This is a move taken to do away with that of bringing in the Japanese laborers. The labor situation in Orange county today is serious in some ways. The Mexicans some time ago were informed that Governor Cantu, in Lower California, was giving away free land to all who would come and cultivate it. Needless to say, the story was a fake. A correspondent in San Diego county states the exodus as as rapid there as elsewhere, and Imperial is even now feeling the effects of it. The state council recommends letting down the bars. It took this action after being informed that under no circumstances would the Pacific ports be opened to Orientals. The present status of a Mexican entering the United States is that he does so only by special permission. Last season saw the importation of numbers on a special 90-day permit. While the seriousness of the situation is well known, no action has been taken locally to bring about a change. Many ranchers who are today looking for rain will be looking for help in the months not far away. It would not be amiss that these same ranchers get together now for the purpose of solving that future problem. MILLION WAR SAVINGS STATIONS GOAL FOR MONTH As a result of the conference of the nine county chairmen of Southern California with State Director G. A. Davidson in Los Angeles last week, it has been decided to concentrate on campaign for war savings stamps for January on the establishment of sales stations at the rate of one such station to every 1000 population. This means that Anaheim will be well covered with these sales stations. They Concerning them making a thorough war, and every either for the Union it. We must know are, and that is searching and wishing that is being. Concerning them say that to say government does not fault, if there person's state for that person to enough not to spend dissention by replying but to go directly closely interested in the remedy, if one is the loyal thing. We want to get who are making We have a list of be called in here Vigilance is to be hooves people to say. Anyone who has to report concerns should contact 615, Federal building Among those agents this month Keefe, arrested toxicated. Keefe is verbally at tha Speaking for this group, R. E. Whitley of Van Nuys, who accompanied the district attorney to Washington, said: "We are willing as growers to share one-half of any decline, but likewise we want one half the rise in price of beets." Attorney Bishop for the Associated Growers added his support to the sliding scale price proposal, but insisted that the Hoover pledge to name the investigating commission despite the opposition of the refineries, should be redeemed. In accordance with the suggestion made in Washington, the names of persons proposed as representatives of the growers on the projected commission will be submitted by mail to Food Administrator Hoover within the next few days. Originally it was proposed that the commission should consist of five members, one each being named by the producers and manufactures, and three to be business men. Opposition to the change in the sugar probe plan by the growers is based on the contention that the hearings before the trade commission could not be held for some time, and that meantime the crop would have progressed so far as to preclude any relief being granted to the producers this year. The grocers' representatives also declare that if a fair price is immediately fixed the threatened sugar shortage will be bridged through the planting of vastly increased acreage. The acreage at present contemplated is from 15 to 30 per cent under that of As a result of the conference of the nine county chairmen of Southern California with State Director G. A. Davidson in Los Angeles last week, it has been decided to concentrate the campaign for war savings stamps for January on the establishment of sales stations. At the rate of one such station to every 1000 population. This means that Anaheim will be well covered with these sales stations. They will be in addition to the regular agencies. The town managers following conferences with the chairmen of this county, have already launched preparations for carrying out this latest organization plan, as originally outlined by Frank Vanderlip, chairman of the national war savings committee in Washington. Southern California is doing her share in the sale of war savings stamps according to the first official report recently received from Washington, which indicates that Los Angeles has so far outdistanced all other Pacific Coast cities. Angeleons having already invested three times as much in stamps as San Franciscans. Other Southern California towns are keeping up with the stride set by the Angel city, and at the conference last Friday where the county chairmen turned in their reports, G. A. Davidson, state director for Southern California expressed his gratification over the results obtained so far. At that meeting the chairmen were urged to speed ahead with the organization of war savings societies among the various firms in the different towns, as this method is proving a first class selling medium in Los Angeles. It stimulates rivalry, and makes saving a pleasure, according to reports from members of societies already organized. Anyone who has to report concerns should contact 615, Federal building. Among those agents this month Keefe, arrested toxicated. Keefe is verbally at the ed. After being verbal agents he was said that he was war, and what he whiskey, and he had true sentiments. Pedro.

He then pointed July 1, 1917, to monthly warrant for aid had d ANAHEIM GAZETTE Perry W. Weidner, well known in state banking and commercial circles, has been appointed assistant state director and should prove a most valuable aid to State Director Davidson. "Let the school children in every hamlet and village of Southern California do their bit in the war savings campaign, and the sales will boom tremendously" is the word sent out to local school heads by Dr. Albert Shields, superintendent of the Los Angeles city schools, who is an ardent enthusiast over having the youngsters save their pennies and loan them to Uncle Sam through the medium of war savings stamps. "When the kiddies become old enough to realize the horrors of war and can feel with a patriotic glow within that their savings helped in stamping out militarism of Germany and 'making the world safe for democracy' it will be a matter of lifelong satisfaction to them" says the well known educator in his plea for the aid of the school children. This community can well be proud of what it is doing in the campaign. There are scores of volunteer workers, the sales of stamps at the post office, express company, and other agencies are aggregating a worth while total, advertisers are generously donating their space in this paper to help spread the doctrine of "Save or Slave," and the motion picture houses are doing their bit by promising to run a series of slides telling of Uncle Sam's needs just sent out by Eleanor Germo, manager of the state bureau of advertising for Southern California. FEDERAL AUTHORITIES ARE MAKING INQUIRIES People in Orange County Who Make mately $2000 to $1600, and that the number of persons with whom he had to deal had dropped in the same time from 370 to 283. Figures for January 1, 1917, were not available but Mr. Gregg's report of February 1, 1917 shows that during the month of January last year the county carried for 342 persons. In February, 1917 438 persons received aid from the county. The following table shows the work of the aid commissioner for the six months closing January 1: July Added Taken Jan. 1 to off 1, Single men ...18 5 5 18 Single women ...36 8 12 32 Families ...86 38 69 55 Persons ...370 150 237 283 This table shows that more people were taken off during the six months period than were added on, and Mr. Gregg expects to see the cost of his office to continue to show a steady decrease. "The rainy season will, of course, make more sickness," he said, "but I expect to see the effects of this offset by the increase in the amount of work which the war has opened up for women as well as children," he concluded. CALIFORNIA'S GOVERNMENT HIGHEST PRICED IN UNION Nevada Comps Second But Is Pushing Us for First Place "California and Nevada are fighting a battle royal to decide which shall have the most expensive state government per capita in the United States," says the Taxpayers' Journal. "Thus far Nevada has a shade better of it. In 1915 the initiative was wrested from Nevada, and when in some mysterious way from molestation, and even condemned by the Italian government because of a lack of proper health certificates. This adventurous expedition was the last effort to bring Turkish goats into America, and since 1904 South Africa has also closed its gates to Angora exportation. Fortunately, many splendid bands have been built up in this country, and especially on the Pacific coast equal in all respects and superior in many to the original flocks in their native land. It is not at all unlikely that after the results of the great slaughter during the present war of the Angoras in Armenia are fully realized, the United States may be called upon to restock the world with mohair producing animals. The value of this textile in manufacturing is growing day by day, and its production promises to become one of the important industries of the future. GAS TRACTOR COURSE How to use gas tractors with the greatest efficiency, and how to lengthen their lives and increase their usefulness by keeping them in perfect repair—such is the subject of the short course to be given by the university of California at the Citrus Experiment station at Riverside from February 11 to 16. The University points out that with the present limited supply of labor it is the patriotic duty of every tractor owner to see that his tractor does as much work and as good work as possible, and proper training for the operator and proper care of the machine are of the first importance. This tractor course will be similar to one recently held at the university farm at Davis, at which 184 people learned how to operate and repair tractors. There will be lectures, ill- to help spread the doctrine of Save or Slave," and the motion picture houses are doing their bit by promising to run a series of slides telling of Uncle Sam's needs just sent out by Eleanor Gerrino, manager of the state bureau of advertising for Southern California. FEDERAL AUTHORITIES ARE MAKING INQUIRIES People in Orange County Who Make Seditious Remarks Being Investigated Federal agents have been in Santa Ana investigating persons who are reported to have talked pro-Germanism or made any remarks derogatory to the government in its prosecution of the war. "We find two classes of people who have said things against the government," said one of the federal agents. "One class is the malicious pro German class and the other is the class that is composed of people who have or think they have knowledge of some angle of government activities that need correction. "Concerning the first class, we are making a thorough investigation. This is war, and every man and woman is either for the United States or against it. We must know who our enemies are, and that is the reason for the searching and widespread federal inquiry that is being conducted here. "Concerning the second class, let me say that to say things against the government does not help to get rid of the fault, if there be any ground for the person's statements. The thing for that person to do is to be loyal enough not to spread discontent and dissention by repeating those things, but to go directly to the persons most closely interested that they may apply the remedy, if one be needed. That is the loyal thing to do. "We want to get a line upon people who are making disloyal statements. We have a list of people who are to be called in here to be questioned. Vigilance is to be maintained. It behooves people to be careful what they say. "Anyone who has anything definite to report concerning disloyal utterances should communicate with Room 615, Federal building, Los Angeles." Among those quizzed by federal agents this morning was Joseph Keefer, arrested at Anaheim while intoxicated. Keefer attacked the British verbally at the time he was arresting. HIGHEST PRICED IN UNION Nevada Comps Second But Is Pushing Us for First Place "California and Nevada are fighting a battle royal to decide which shall have the most expensive state government per capita in the United States," says the Taxpayers' Journal. "Thus far Nevada has a shade better of it. In 1915 the initiative was wrested from Nevada, and when the sound of California's heavy financial bombardment subsided it was found that she had used more metal per capita than Nevada. In 1916 Nevada regained the initiative but judging by the form and morale displayed by the combatants to date, California will win in the end." The Journal produces data compiled from the U.S. census reports, showing that in 1913 Nevada headed the list with a governmental cost of $10.45 per capita. California was second with $7.98 per capita. It 1916—three years later—Nevada led with $12.78 per capita and California was second with $11.14 per capita. In 1915, when California held first place her county government costs as well as her state government costs, were the highest in the United States. From 1913 to 1916 California's per capita governmental cost payments increased nearly five times faster than population. Here are some interesting comparisons of State government costs per capital in 1916: Cost State Population per Capita California ... 2,893,464 $11.14 Minnesota ... 2,233,037 8.69 New York ... 10,039,866 8.11 Massachusetts ... 3,657,604 7.03 Michigan ... 3,035,148 6.49 New Jersey ... 2,870,811 6.46 Wisconsin ... 2,486,941 5.95 Iowa ... 2,220,680 4.60 Pennsylvania ... 8,372,490 4.30 HOW THEY GOT THE SULTAN'S ANGORA Importations of Angora goats into the United States have been attended with unusual and romantic circumstances.

There will be lectures, illustrated with charts and models, on gas engine principles, fuel, carburetors, magnetos, timing, adjustment, etc., and instruction by experts from various factories as to the construction, repair and operation of the eight or more makes of tractors to be used. There will be field demonstrations on how to operate tractor machinery and make tests as to horse power. Each student will have opportunity for actual practical work in soldering, pipe fitting, carburetor adjustment, bearing adjustment, ignition timing, belt lacing, and the like. The course is open only to those who can show that they will be able to make definite use of the knowledge gained. The only expense will be a registration fee of $1. The tentative program is as follows: Monday, Feb. 11—8 a.m. to 12 m. registration; 1 p.m. opening address by Director H. J. Webber of the citrus experiment station, followed by a lecture on gas engine principles; 2:45 to 5 p.m. practice work. Tuesday, lectures at 8 and 1 on fuels and carburetion, each followed by three hours of practice work. Wednesday, lectures at 8 on ignition and at 1 on magnetos, each followed by three hours of practice work. Thursday, lectures at 8 on lubrication and at 1 on timing and adjustment, each followed by tractor practice. Friday, lectures at 8 on repairing tractors and at 1 on testing and horse power rating, each followed by tractor practice. Saturday, 8 a lecture on tractor machinery, followed by tractor practice from 9 to 12. The staff of instructors will include J. B. Davidson, professor of agricultural engineering; R. S. Valle, assistant professor of orchard management in the citrus experiment station; L. J. Fletcher, instructor in agricultural engineering; at the university farm; Mr. A. B. Lundy, and several service men from the various tractor factories. he called in here to be questioned. Vigilance is to be maintained. It behooves people to be careful what they say.

After being quizzed by the federal agents he was allowed to go. He said that he was for America in this war, and what he had said was due to whiskey, and he had not expressed his true sentiments. He left for San Pedro. COUNTY AID DEMANDS GREATLY DECREASED Commissioner Gregg Cays Number of Persons Needing Assistance Is Falling Off Over in Europe, as everyone knows, the world is at war, but few people would stop to think what effect this would have on the work of County Aid Commissioner Gregg. According to Mr. Gregg, this effect is considerable, both from a standpoint of work to himself and from a financial standpoint as it effects the county. "The war and the weather," said Mr. Gregg last week, "are making it much easier for that class of people in Orange county with whom this office deals. The war has made plenty of work and the ideal weather we are now experiencing has caused but little sickness." He then pointed to the fact since July 1, 1917, to January 1, 1918, the monthly warrants paid by the county for aid had dropped from approxi- HOW THEY GOT THE SULTAN'S ANGORA Importations of Angora goats into the United States have been attended with unusual and romantic circumstances. The first animals to be brought to this country were nine choice specimens presented as a gift to Dr. James B. Davis of Columbia, S. C., in 1849, by the Sultan of Turkey. Upon the request of this monarch President Palk had sent Dr. Davis to Turkey as a man who understood the culture of cotton, and upon his return to this country these little mohair producers were given him as a personal mark of thanks from the Sultan. Oddly enough this mutual aid in textile advancement was misunderstood on the American side to the extent that the animals were considered cashy beres and no very fortunate use was made of them. Later, when the knowledge of the possibilities of Angora culture became fully understood, great risk and danger was undergone in order to procure imported blood for the upbuilding of American flocks. In 1881 the Sultan of Turkey, alarmed at the prospects of ultimately losing the mohair trade of the world, issued an adict for bidding exportation of Angoras. However, in 1901 Dr. W. D. Bailey of San Jose, California, succeeded in smuggling out two bucks and two does which he landed safely in California at a cost of more than $5000, and after some exceedingly hazardous experiences in a country filled with bandits, where he transported his valuable cargo for many miles on mule and camel back.

CAN NOT DO WITHOUT SOAP They tell us now that a soap famine looms in the near distance—that because of the growing scarcity of fats the time is close at hand when the world's supply of that essential dietary element will be diverted almost exclusively to the stomach for tissue building, leaving little for the skin to keep us godly; and that little will be so precious that a good, old-fashioned suds bath—either for the person or our raiment—will be in the nature of a luxury outside the financial reach of the poor or even the householder of average means. "Civilized men cannot live without cooks;" neither can they live civilized lives without soap. And in all probability a protracted compulsory abstinence from soap would bring on a state of decadence that would be bad for civilization and from the bad effects of which the race would be long in recovering. Indeed depriving humanity of its soap—dependence upon which has been so many centuries in development—would be a menace of serious proportion. Time was when men and women could be genteel and move in high circles, total strangers to soap—when highpower perfumes effectively covered multitudes of sins of omission. NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING Office of the Anaheim Union Water Company Anaheim, California, January 9, 1918 TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE ANAHEIM UNION WATER CO: Please take notice that the regular annual meeting of stockholders and election for Directors of the ANAHEIM UNION WATER COMPANY will be held at the office of the Company, 401 East Center Street, in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, on Saturday, the twenty-sixth day of January, 1918, at the hour of 10 o'clock a.m., for the purpose of electing Directors of said corporation for the ensuing year, and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting.

SAVE THE WHEAT Make it a principle, the Food Administration advises, to increase the use of cornmeal to the maximum. Pound for pound, the energy value of cornmeal is equivalent to that of wheat flour. The cost is less. Every time cornmeal is used where wheat products were used before, you are helping win the war. Have cornmeal mush for breakfast; add figs, dates or other fruit for variety; serve fried mush; use cornmeal in quick breads, yeast breads, desserts. The breads are light palatable and capable of frequent use in the weekly dietary. Likewise, make the maximum use of oatmeal or rolled oats. Omit all wheat breakfast cereals. Use oatmeal or rolled oats, and obtain variety through fruits. Use rolled oats to conserve one-fourth the wheat in making muffins, rolls and yeast raised bread. Here are two recipes for cornmeal griddle cakes or waffles for breakfast, tried and found unwanting.
