PREPARING FOR NEW LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE COUNTY ORGANIZATIONS EFFECTED AND BUSINESS METHODS TO BE USED EVERY MAN TO BE LISTED AND HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO FORMER DEMANDS NOTED Adopting a business and uniform national system and passing responsibility to individuals, organization for conducting the next liberty loan campaign on the national lines has been about completed throughout the state of California. There will be no hazard work such as has more or less characterized the efforts in different locations in the two previous drives. All communities will operate on a general plan outlined and directed from a central organization. In preparation for this work the county chairmen of the Southern California counties were called together in Los Angeles Friday and Saturday of last week for a "clean-up" of the plans for the Southern California district. Governor Lynch, of the Twelfth district federal reserve bank, and representatives from Washington were in attendance and outlined the campaign as decided upon. It was a two-days session of education for the county chairmen. The cam- its of thrift, making the nation one of bond buyers. RICE INDUSTRY IN CALIFORNIA With $12,000,000 worth of rice already practically on its way to the mills from the 1917 harvest, rice culture has advanced another long step as one of the greatest industries of California. In five years it has jumped from a $75,000 per annum industry to a $12,000,000 one. Over 95 per cent of the rice raised in California is grown in the Sacramento valley and while but 84,000 acres were harvested in 1917, applications for water from canal companies and other sources, up to February, 1918, indicates a general increase of 40 per cent in land to be devoted to this crop this year, and in the Willows section of Glenn county, the increased applications for water as compared with last year run over 200 per cent. In other words, the Sacramento Valley Irrigation Company had 16,000 acres under its ditch last year. This year there have been applied for already nearly 50,000 acres and more applications in prospect. It is, however, well to note that this is largely in excess of the capacity of the canal. California rice millers have been slow to take advantage of the Paddy rice market, and consequently the largest growers have contracted with mills at Lake Charles, Louisiana, and eBaumont, Texas for over one third of the crop for the year 1917. The returns so far from the mills are showing a net average of about $3.75 per 100 lbs. to the grower, and in some cases as high as $4.05. Of course, the cost of rice production last year was abnormal, a conservative estimate being that it cost the planter in excess of $2.25 per sack of 100 lbs. to place his from today on putt-rect competition w board in equipping planes which we have German lines. The plain to every one that the need of production exceed there is in the work rule applies in almost that we turn. There can be only men should not seize expenditure their ability for equipping a belief that a fully army is not going that the war either allies, or it has all the exhaustion of it is little in the sit to base such a belief must be that there is enough labor to produce everything for their individual thing that the government Absolute blindness is when you add only excuse there being there are lab enough for the life and military needs man who is not present today either believe cessity for militar he will not look in most facts in regard pacity.

WOULD CONNECT In preparation for this work the county chairman of the Southern California counties were called together in Los Angeles Friday and Saturday of last week for a "clean-up" of the plans for the Southern California district. Governor Lynch, of the Twelfth district federal reserve bank, and representatives from Washington were in attendance and outlined the campaign as decided upon. It was a two-days session of education for the county chairman. The campaign is organized to the smallest detail, with personal responsibility passed down the line from district chairman to county, city and precinct chairman. Each state will have a state chairman, excepting California. Because of the topography of this state, it was divided into two districts, with San Francisco and Los Angeles as the headquarters of each. H. S. McKee of Los Angeles has been made chairman of the Southern district, with R. H. Moulton as executive officer. The federal reserve bank will hold these men responsible for the district meeting its quota. The county chairman will be responsible to the district chairman for the county quota, and city and precinct chairman will be responsible to the county chairman. R. L. Bisby is chairman for Orange county and he attended the two day conference in Los Angeles. He has the full details of the campaign and will organize the county according to the plans outlined. He will have an advisory committee composed of five, himself being one of the five. In other words he will appoint four men to advise with him on matters pertaining to the campaign. Chairmen of some of the loan committees of the county met last week at the office of Bisby in Santa Ana and elected Bisby as chairman of the organization. Those present were Lew H. Wallace, Newport Beach; A. S. Bradford Placentia; Lester Keller, Garden Grove; Leonard Obarr, Huntington Beach, and E. W. Bollinger, Orange. The organization of communities as planned for the next Liberty loan drive is such as to insure the full quota of each community being secured, and quickly. Tabulation under a card index of each individual in the community will show his every participation in war financing. The card index will show the name, address, nationality, occupation, circumstances, and in so A TRUE AMERICAN Alexander Konta, president of the Hungarian society of America, in a speech to a large audience of his countrymen, spoke as follows: "We must not place too much confidence," he says, "in Austrian promises. What we want is victory for America, the freedom of Hungary and the brotherhood of the nations of the world." "We are to help win the war—win it for America. We can't afford to lose it. This war is a struggle for popular rights. Victory must be won through trial. There are innumerable privations ahead of us. There are wheatless days and meatless days—and joyless days. But we must face them all as true Americans." The reward will be worth the sacrifice. "Some among you think you can hold sympathy for Austria-Hungary in this war while maintaining a strict American citizenship. I for one cannot agree. If you permit your sympathies to weaken you, you are doing no service to your motherland. You are turning your eyes from the goal which Hungarians have sought for centuries You are blindly taking the wrong path, the path that leads to national slavery, to Hungarian annihilation. You are not true Hungarians. You are quitters in an age long fight for independence, for which your ancestors shed their blood in battle." FLIERS AT THE FRONT ARE BADLY-HANDICAPPED Hardly a day passes but there is some fresh illustration of the inability on the part of governments to buy with money something essential for war preparation, writes Frank A. Vanderlip. We are now discovering that there is not linen enough in the world to cover the aeroplanes that the allies are producing. The English government, and consequently the largest growers have contracted with mills at Lake Charles, Louisiana, and eBaumont, Texas for over one third of the crop for the year 1917. The returns so far from the mills are showing a net average of about $3.75 per 100 lbs. to the grower, and in some cases as high as $4.05 per course, the cost of rice production last year was abnormal, a conservative estimate being that it cost the planter in excess of $2.25 per sack of 100 lbs. to place his crop in the warehouse. Of the many kidnapping markets today, none mended like Doan's thousand benefit testify in the news towns. Forty-five newspapers publish Doan's merit.

Tabulation under a card index of each individual in the community will show his every participation in war financing. The card index will show the name, address, nationality, occupation, circumstances, and so far as possible what he has done in previous loans or other matters of war finance. Canvassers will make reports each day on blanks furnished them regarding each person solicited. Careful study of these reports will be made daily by a committee, probably the advisory committee, for the purpose of seeing that the man able to buy a thousand dollars or more of bonds has not attempted to fulfill his obligation by purchasing a $50 bond. In the educational campaign, it is suggested that patriotic meetings be held, with soldiers or sailors on the platform when possible, by well informed men talking from the pulpits of the churches, societies and clubs addressed by well posted members, with special attention being paid to information as to what the proceeds from the bonds are used for. The fundamental principle of the thorough organization is to see that every person in every community purchases bonds to the limit of his ability. It is estimated that if the people of the United States were as frugal as are the people of France the yearly savings would be about half their income or $20,000,000,000 enough to finance the war without taxes or bond sales. The selling of war bonds and education incident thereto, is teaching the people of America hab- FLIERS AT THE FRONT ARE BADLY-HANDICAPPED Hardly a day passes but there is some fresh illustration of the inability on the part of governments to buy with money something essential for war preparation, writes Frank A. Vanderlip. We are now discovering that there is not linen enough in the world to cover the aeroplanes that the allies are producing. The English government has just decided that at least 10,000 acres of English soil must be devoted to the production of flax, instead of food. That government is making terms with the farmers, which will lead to the planting of that crop. The illustrations are endless of the fact that there are not labor and materials enough to produce the things that the people want and the things that the government wants. There are two ways of helping solve the problem. One is to speed up production and industry. The other is to cut down unnecessary consumption. By the latter method every one can put himself in an effective way in a front trench. Every one can make sacrifices that will be reflected in a quicker and better equipment of armies. The progress that can be made by speeding up production can be exceeded many fold by the effect which can be produced by a whole nation making up its mind really to help win the war. The difficulties of equipping the army would be easily cut in half if every individual in this country would recognize his responsibility in helping to equip the army, his responsibility to get on without demanding new things he can get on without, and by so doing leave a greater amount of labor and material to produce the things the government must have.

CALIFORNIA California's fa ANAHEIM GAZETTE from today on puts the buyer in direct competition with the aeroplane board in equipping the fleet of aeroplanes which we hope to put over the German lines. That should be very plain to every one when it is known that the need of linen for aeroplane production exceeds the total stock there is in the world. But the same rule applies in almost every direction that we turn. There can be only two reasons why men should not see in their personal expenditure their individual responsibility for equipping the army. One is a belief that a fully equipped American army is not going to be necessary; that the war either will be won by our allies, or it has already been won by the exhaustion of our enemies. There is little in the situation upon which to base such a belief. The other reason must be that people believe that there is enough labor and materials to produce everything that they want for their individual uses and everything that the government must have. Absolute blindness to what the total is when you add two and two is the only excuse there can be for believing there are labor and materials enough for the individual comforts and military needs of the country. The man who is not prepared to economize today either believes there is no necessity for military preparedness or he will not look in the face the plainest facts in regard to industrial capacity. The government has provided the easiest possible road for the individual to turn his personal sacrifice into patriotic aid—save and buy War Savings Stamps. WOULD CONNECT CHICAGO WITH NEW YORK The Type Used In One Year to Publish Endorsements of Doan's Kidney of live stock, for 1917 returned to the farmers $160,617,000 more than did the crops of 1916. The total value of crops produced in the state for 1917 was $422,285,000 against $271,668,000 for 1916 and $204,747,000 for 1915, an increase in percentage of 60 over 1916 and more than 100 over 1915. This state is one of the really big agricultural states of the Union. California now ranks tenth, having grown from twelfth position in 1916 and fourteenth position in 1915. California's total crops for 1917 are valued at a figure more than half the combined totals of crops of all other Pacific coast states and inter-mountain states, the states being Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico, or the combined totals of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. TREASURY TO TAKE FARM LOAN BONDS Amendment to the Law Authorizing This Step Passed by Congress Amid the almost universal destruction of values brought on by this war the Federal Farm Loan act stands out so constructively that congress has passed an amendment to the bill whereby the treasury may purchase $100,000,000 worth of farm loan bonds this year and the same next year. Federal land banks lend money to farmers, taking a mortgage on the farm and issuing farm loan bonds. Then to get more ready cash, the bank has to sell the farm loan bonds. The bonds pay 4½ per cent interest and are tax free. Each dollar in the bonds is represented by a mortgage on $2 worth of land carefully appraised by the government agents. There is always a ready commonly grown on American farms. This crop heads the list in units of energy produced per acre and is ahead of all other crops except navy beans and soy beans in tissue building material. In the latter element, soy beans far outclasses all other crops, showing twice as much protein per acre as navy beans, which rank second in this regard. The dairy cow is the most efficient of farm animals in the production of human food (milk) and the hog is the most efficient in the conversion of grain into meat, producing five times as much per acre of crops as does any other animal. PROPER HANDLING OF MAIL TO THE SOLDIERS Unless Postoffice Rules are Obeyed Delays in Delivery Will Occur Postage on mail for the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe must be fully prepaid. Such mail must be properly addressed. The address of the addressee should in all cases, unless the addressee is unassigned, include the official designation of the company and regiment or other unit or organization to which the addressee belongs, and the sender's name and address must be given on the wrapper or envelope of each piece of mail matter. Packages or parcels exceeding seven pounds in weight are not maillable to the Expeditionary Forces. Matter for the Expeditionary Forces that is short, paid, improperly addressed, or over weight, must not be accepted for mailing, but when offered for mailing shall be returned to the sender. No notice of mail held for postage should be sent to members of the Expeditionary Forces but, as stated, such mail shall be returned to the sender. If short paid, ``` WOULD CONNECT CHICAGO WITH NEW YORK The Type Used in One Year to Publish Endorsements of Doan's Kidney Pills Of the many kidney remedies on the market today, none other is recommended like Doan's Kidney Pills. Fifty thousand benefitted people gladly testify in the newspapers of their own towns. Forty-five hundred American newspapers publish this home proof of Doan's merit. The type used in one year to tell this wonderful story would make a solid column of metal twice as high as the world's highest mountain. Placed end to end the lines of type would reach from New York to Chicago. These miles of good words told by 50,000 tongues sound glad tidings to any Anaheim sufferer who wants relief from kidney and bladder ills. Here is an Anaheim case. Don't experiment. Use the remedy endorsed by people you know. Mrs. Nannie Jones, 507 S. Los Angeles St., says: "When I over-work it affects my kidneys and brings on attacks of backache. When I am sweeping sharp twinges catch me in the small of my back and nearly drive me wild. I am nervous and I suffer from dizzy spells when everything turns black before my eyes. I always take Doan's Kidney Pills at these times and the backache leaves me and I feel entirely well again." Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy — get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Jones uses. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. TRACTOR SHORT COURSE The course in management of gas tractors at the citrus experiment station, Riverside, which began Monday, will end Saturday. Eight tractors are being used to demonstrate the principles of care and upkeep; namely, the Bean, Best, Holt, Cleveland, International, Sampson, Waterloo Boy and Yuba. All of these are popular makes in Southern California. They are adapted both to orchard and general farm work. One agency has Federal land banks lend money to farmers, taking a mortgage on the farm and issuing farm loan bonds. Then to get more ready cash, the bank has to sell the farm loan bonds. The bonds pay 4½ per cent interest and are tax free. Each dollar in the bonds is represented by a mortgage on $2 worth of land carefully appraised by the government agents. There is always a ready market for these bonds, but at the present, with the constant sale of the Liberty bonds, it was not felt fitting that the federal land banks should compete with Uncle Sam. To stop the market for the bonds entirely would have blocked the work of Jending money to farmers. Hence the amended bill which puts resources of the American treasury back of the land banks. The Farm loan act did not become a law until July 17, 1916, and on January 1 the total amount of money paid out to farmers was $39,112,115. The total amount of loans applied for was $243,622,295. The total amount approved by the land banks was $121,500,406. The potent reasons for the great success of the bill are that the farmer is enabled to get money at a lower rate of interest than eleswhere. Land banks now charge 5¼ per cent for money lent against an average of 7 4-10 per cent charged by other banks and private lenders. CORN IS CHAMPION FOOD CROP Corn, on a given area, will produce more human food than any other crop National Orange Show California's Biggest Mid-Winter Event The course in management of gas tractors at the citrus experiment station, Riverside, which began Monday, will end Saturday. Eight tractors are being used to demonstrate the principles of care and upkeep; namely, the Bean, Best, Holt, Cleveland, International, Sampson, Waterloo Boy and Yuba. All of these are popular makes in Southern California. They are adapted both to orchard and general farm work. One agency has orders for 50 deliveries in one relatively small district this spring. In addition to the staff of instructors from the University there is a factory service man with each tractor. These men are fitted to explain the details regarding their individual machine. Every student will have opportunity to work with each of the eight machines. One of these service men has just returned from Chicago where he took an exhaustive course in tractor management, designed particularly to fit him for training tractor operators. Arrangements have been made for bus service from town to the station, before the morning session opens at 8 o'clock, and return at the close of the afternoon session. Students are advised to take box lunches with them for the noon meal. Interesting and instructive programs with lectures and moving pictures were arranged for Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday evenings, at the Polytechnic high school auditorium. Tillage and irrigation methods are being discussed, while pictures of tractors and other farm operations will be shown. The public is invited to these evening meetings.
