ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter MAKE EVERY MAN AND DOLLAR COUNT It is not a theory, but a fact, that in the present crisis the government actually requires every ounce of manpower, money-power and credit-power of which the nation is possessed. The fate of the American people stands chanced in a desperate game of blood and iron, energy and efficiency, gold and credit. To lose is to lose what Belgium has lost and to suffer what she has suffered. To lose is to be drained of blood and money as France has been drained and to hear upon our soil, as on hers, the thundering tread of invading millions bent on plunder, ruin and revenge. To lose is to suffer the agonies of Serbia and the woes of Rumania and the sickening distress of Italy. To lose is to be required, through generations, to pay out of the sweat of our brows and the brows of our children's children the price of failure. The hour has struck, and dead we are if we hear it not. The old order passes away, giving place to the new, and blind we are if we cannot see the changes to which we must adapt ourselves. We have the power in men and money to win the war; but this power USE MORE POTATOES IS GOVERNMENT DEMAND California Leads all States in Yield Per Acre Consumers are being urged by the food administration to eat potatoes at every meal. Middlemen's profits are being regulated. Most of the potato dealers in San Francisco and Los Angeles agreed with the food administration to sell all potatoes at a gross profit not over 10 per cent above the cost to themselves and with no jugling of stocks for the sake of getting two or three 10 per cents. Retail dealers' prices are also being restricted in order to insure consumers cheap enough potatoes to increase consumption. As further encouragement to the same end, the California food administration has ruled that four pounds of potatoes may be substituted for each pound of cereals required by the U. S. food administration to be bought with every pound of wheat flour. This ruling with regard to potatoes will be rescinded if prices jump on account of it. Consumption is expected before the end of March to increase at least 50 per cent above what it would otherwise be; but prices are expected not to be materially advanced before that time. The 1917 crop is likely to be out of the way early, due not only to the efforts to increase consumption, but also to the poor keeping quality of Northwestern stock. Then if the dry weather continues and prevents much planting in California, farmers who have water may do exceptionally well by planting heavily. It must be remembered, however, that the Northwest has had more rain than we; and that potato planting may be heavy there.

The hour has struck, and dead we are if we hear it not. The old order passes away, giving place to the new, and blind we are if we cannot see the changes to which we must adapt ourselves. We have the power in men and money to win the war; but this power will be dissipated in disaster irremediable if we do not exert it with efficiency and to the utmost. To refuse to conserve our power to the ultimate ounce, and thus to marshal our men and money efficiently for the inevitable and immediate test, would be fatuous and unpatriotic, criminal and cowardly. We have but one order of business now; that is to win the war. To this purpose all other things must for the time give way. We must make every man and every dollar count. RECORD BROKEN IN U. S. GUN PRODUCTION America has made a record in rifle procurement which ordinance officials believe has never been equalled by any other nation, the war department recently announced. During the week ending Feb. 2, upon which the statement is based, the production was 72,152. This means that the weekly production ten months after war was declared was four times as great as the weekly production in Great Britain after ten months of war and twice as large as the production in that country after two and a half years of war. Since April 6, 1917, the ordinance department has manufactured and produced more than 300,000 of the Springfield and modified Enfield rifles. Referring to the modified Enfield the announcement says that it has been tested in the service of the army sufficient to warrant the statement "that it more justifies the claims that have been made for it." Officers and enlisted men have received it with unqualified favor, it is asserted. Of the delay involved in making the changes from the old model to the new design and in standardizing the parts, the war department says: "It was estimated that the stand-offs to increase consumption, but also to the poor keeping quality of Northwestern stock. Then if the dry weather continues and prevents much planting in California, farmers who have water may do exceptionally well by planting heavily. It must be remembered, however, that the Northwest has had more rain than we; and that potato planting may be heavy there. However, the man who can grow the state average of 145 sacks per acre and sell them at $1 will likely make 100 per cent profit on his cash outlay and have some left over. And it is not reasonable to expect a farm price of $1 for potatoes in view of the growing scarcity of cereal foodstuffs. The largest yields per acre reported in the United States for 1916 were 692.7 bushels of 60 pounds each on an acre in Nevada county, California; and the next largest yield in the United States was 678 bushels per acre in Lassen county. Our state statistician gives us credit for an average of 141 bushels per acre on 75,000 acres in 1916, with 13 states having greater acreage but averaging only 78 bushels per acre. The United States Bureau of crop estimates for California gives 105,000 as our acreage in 1917, and 15,225,000 bushels, or 145 bushels average per acre. Perhaps our high acre production is partly due to freedom from several of the pests which afflict other states. Very little eel work is found in California; though we have to watch certain districts and some of our neighbors closely. None of the Colorado potato bug are known here. Powdery scab and blight as so scarce as to be negligible in most districts. Owing to the drouth in Oregon, whence California gets most seed potatoes, the crop this year included a large percentage of small or misshapen tubers. J. E. Larsen, chief inspector of Oragen, nd Prof. J. W. Gilmore of the University of California agree in saying that seed potatoes which are true to name but off shape because of the climatic conditions last season will produce a crop in 1988 true to type and quality if the season is normal. Dry weather has held back the demand for seed potatoes in California so much that one dealer has found slow sale at $2.75 for stock that cost him $3.25. There is an abundance of seed not only on the city markets but also on the farms. If dry weather continues, only irrigation farmers will raise potatoes.

Officers and enlisted men have received it with unqualified favor, it is asserted. Of the delay involved in making the changes from the old model to the new design and in standardizing the parts, the war department says: "It was estimated that the standardizing the parts would compensate the lost time when manufacturing was brought to a quantity basis. Present production fully confirms the correctness of that calculation. The actual needs of the army have been met, not as quickly as desired, but the final results justify the temporary delay." Ted Stephenson, the Santa Ana Register's political periscope man, is mentioned by the Blade as a candidate for the assembly. Ted has been working his political periscope overtime of late, and finds the woods full of candidates, but has so far found none for the assembly. He has not as yet announced his candidacy, but if we can get him out of the county during the legislative session we are going to be for him. Prof. Tople of Santa Ana is mentioned as a possible candidate for the assembly. The only advantage in sending Tople to Sacramento is that he might lose his way and never come back. The Visalia Sugar Co. has 4000 acres planted to sugar beets so far this year. This land is located in Tulare, Kings and Kern counties. Part of the ground seeded is already up and some has been thinned. Dry weather has held back the demand for seed potatoes in California so much that one dealer has found slow sale at $2.75 for stock that cost him $3.25. There is an abundance of seed not only on the city markets but also on the farms. If dry weather continues, only irrigation farmers will raise potatoes. Potatoes are more abused than any other planted thing in the matter of using culls for seed. This probably has much to do with the great difference between average and good yields. Sizes and other good characteristics can be quickly bred up by repeatedly selecting seed from plants which have the desired characteristics. The longer seed has been carefully selected, the more surely it will yield a big crop with the highest percentage marketable. Owing to the difficulty of testing seed potatoes for freedom from insects and diseases, the California legislature passed a law approved in 1915 whereby seed growers could have their fields inspected twice while growing and one after harvesting. A state certificate of purity and health is given for such potatoes as prove eligible. Seed potatoes from which sprouts have been removed will sprout again repeatedly, but each time more weakly, and they may not be strong enough to come through the ground. On the other hand, if the planting date is known ahead, earlier potatoes will be obtained by allowing sprouts to just start a little but not enough to break off in handling. Seed must be selected for freedom from rot or disease to avoid infecting new land. Common scab may be soak- because of the climatic conditions last season will produce a crop in 1988 true-to-type and quality if the season is normal.

Butrhizoctonia cannot be treated so effectively; and fusarium yields to no seed treatment except destruction or sale for food. Fusarium infected seed may be detected by cutting a slice off the stem ends. A dark ring just inside the surface indicates the disease. Dry rot is the advanced stage. Rhizoctonia overwinters on the seed and looks like bits of dirt that do not wash off readily. Insects to avoid are eel worm and tuber moth. Seed infected with eel worms may be detected by the dry, brownish circular or oblong burrows, smaller than a pin head and extendin 1-16th to 1-4th of an inch into the flesh. Badly infested specimens wrinkle and grow soft, with pimply eruption on the surface. Tuber moth infestation is known by burrows made by the larvae. KAISER SENDING IN ALL HIS PINCH HITTERS Big League Ball Player Sizes Up The Situation in Europe J. W. Pegler, United Press war correspondent who writes from the front in France, gives the following line up of the war situation as expressed by a big league ball player who is in the service: The big red haired ball player is color sergeant of a champion regiment which practices democracy to the full. He was sitting in his Colonel's office airing his views, which are typical of those to be heard nowadays from one end to the other of this widely scattered war camp. "Anyone keeping in touch with the each party blamed the other for the accident. The machines met head on at the bottom of the grade, the front wheels locking. The force of the collision turned both machines completely around. The Ware machine did not turn over until it reached the wrong side of the road. The front part of both machines were badly damaged, each losing a wheel. The top of the Ware car was also badly damaged. SOME BEANS Butter beans weighing 25 pounds! Seeds four bits for six or sixteen for a dollar! Come early, as the seeds are imported. Come this week, or the outfit may be in jail. Monday morning George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures learned a new trick, or rather saw an old one revamped and presented to the unsuspecting new one who is born every minute. An advertisement appearing in a Sunday paper stated that a marvelous new seed has been imported from Australia and that this seed will grow butter beans that are five feet long and weigh as high as 25 pounds. The ad continues that a limited number are still on hand in the office of J. R. Allardyce, in San Francisco, where they may be obtained for good, hard cash at the prices quoted above. A picture accompanying the ad shows several large and well matured vegetable gourds. These are printed, it is thought, to lure the unwary to the purchase of the butter bean seed. McPhee took the clipping and presented it to Postmaster Overshiner, who sent it to the federal authorities in San Francisco. FOODSTUFF PRICES FIXED DRYWOOD FOR SALE—Orange or walnut.

He was sitting in his Colonel's office airing his views, which are typical of those to be heard nowadays from one end to the other of this widely scattered war camp. "Anyone keeping in touch with the dope in this war league can see that the kaiser is about to send in all his pinch hitters, trying to win in the ninth," he said. "As I see it, the allies are about one run ahead. The kaiser has a chance to tie the score this winter and send the old war game into extra innings." "Now suppose the Allies show signs of wobbling. What will happen? "Well, what would any wise bench manager do if he saw his club beginning to falter in the ninth with the game already on ice? Why, he'd call in thoes dark horse American ball players who've been warming up back under the grandstand the last six months waiting for a chance to show what they can do in a pinch." The ex-home run swatter leaned forward for a reflective moment, stirring the fire in the colonel's stove with a twig from the kindling box. Here, in an ugly little French village, thousands of miles from the velvet diamonds of the National League parks, he might be thinking of that hot Indian summer day a few seasons back when he won a world's series game with a four-ply blow and the bases drunk. Perhaps there came to his ears a faint echo of those explosive cheers from thousands of throats as he rounded third and streaked for the plate—a base ball hero of future greats to look up to. "Say," he said, after a few moments, "I wish the United Press could shock the folks back home. I don't believe they appreciate the fact that it is about time the American soldiers were fighting—not in a quiet sector but where the shelling is hottest. "When we go into the trenches they'll have to send us thousands of tons of food and clothing and shells. And I'll have to have a belt full of bullets all the time or I'll just be a wild boob for the Boaches to shoot at. "Maybe they're building a lot of ships back home and keeping it under their hats. We've got to have a lot of ships—that is granted. And we've crowded so much about what we're going at the prices quoted above.

McPhee took the clipping and presented it to Postmaster Overshiner, who sent it to the federal authorities in San Francisco. FOODSTUFF PRICES FIXED BY LOCAL COMMISSION Los Angeles Dealers Must Conform to Schedule or Lose License The death knell of the food profiteer in Los Angeles was sounded Monday when the Los Angeles Food Administration Fair price committee met and officially fixed prices of staple foodstuffs for the first time in the city's history. As a beginning, it decided upon the maximum prices which retailers may charge consumers for potatoes, flour, sugar, bread and butter. Failure to observe these prices means the loss of the dealer’s license. The committee consists of members of the wholesale and retail trade, with three women sitting on it to represent the consumers. Their schedule includes the price which the retailer is expected to pay the wholesaler, and the consumer to retailer. All wholesalers are obliged to make a statement to the government of their business so they are not included. The committee decided the fair prices upon a basis of 15 per cent of the net cost. It was also pointed out by the members that these figures are lower than those quoted in most cities. The Harvard School of Research in 1914 issued the statement that the grocers of the United States based their prices on a net cost of 18 to 25 per cent, and since then all foodstuffs have advanced over 50 per cent. The "fair prices" will vary as the market conditions and quotations change. If any of the food stuffs advance on the local market 1 cent a pound, then the price to the retailer and the consumer will advance 1 cent also. The same if there is a drop. This will enable the consumer to easily find out the fair price for that day by looking at the daily produce market quotations and comparing with the list given out by the committee. While but few of the staple articles have as yet been decided upon, the committee has accomplished as much ignorance of the law is no excuse. The National Food Administration has revoked the licenses of a number of merchants in the East and there are a few stores in Los Angeles who are flirting on the edge of the same fate." Following is the schedule of prices agreed upon, and to which all dealers must adhere: Potatoes, wholesale dealer to retailer, $1.65 to $1.75 per cwt. Retailer to consumer, $2 to $2.25. Flour, 49-lb. sack, to retailer, $2.70, to customer $3. Sugar per cwt. to retailer, $7.80 to consumer, 5 lbs. for 44c. Bread, 24-oz., to retailer 11c; to consumer, 13c; 16-oz., to retailer, 7½c, to consumer 9c. Butter, to retailer 52c to 53c, to consumer, 57c to 58c. Government flour regulation: Retail dealers only permitted maximum profit of 80 cents to $1.20 per barrel in the sizes quoted and not over 1 cent per pound profit when sold in broken sack lots. Government sugar regulation: Maximum profit allowed dealers of 3-4 to 1 cent per pound based on delivered cost. This applies to all grades. A MILLION INSURED At the close of February 13, over one million soldiers and army and navy nurses had applied for government insurance under the soldier and sailor insurance law. The amount of insurance applied for is more than $8,000,000,000. The maximum permitted to any person is $10,000, and the average applied for is $8,212. There are many applications mailed from distant points which have not yet reached the treasury department. The above figures are only of applications that have been actual were fighting—not in a quiet sector but where the shelling is hottest. "When we go into the trenches they'll have to send us thousands of tons of food and clothing and shells. And I'll have to have a belt full of bullets all the time or I'll just be a wild boob for the Boches to shoot at. "Maybe they're building a lot of ships back home and keeping it under their hats. We've got to have a lot of ships—that is granted. And we've crowded so much about what we're going to do that it seems to me if we really had done something in the shipbuilding line, we have said something about it. "You tell the people this: That if they don't build ships and quit rag chewing about it, they'll be selling us out. I don't think the folks at home would sell us out." That's a practical Sammy's view of the situation and a fairly accurate view at that. HEAD ON COLLISION In a head on collision between two automobiles on the grade this side of Walnut in Brea canyon about 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, five persons narrowly escaped injury when their car turned over and rolled down the bank at the side of the road. Injuries were sustained by only one person, J. Kellogg, Fullerton, whose face was slightly cut. The car was being driven by Robert Ware, son of R. L. Ware, bookkeeper for the Bastanchury ranch company, Fullerton. The names of the other two passengers were not learned. The second machine was being driven by an employee of an Orange laundry whose name could not be learned. change. If any of the food stuffs advance on the local market 1 cent a pound, then the price to the retailer and the consumer will advance 1 cent also. The same if there is a drop. This will enable the consumer to easily find out the fair price for that day by looking at the daily produce market quotations and comparing with the list given out by the committee. While but few of the staple articles have as yet been decided upon, the committee has accomplished as much as the San Francisco Fair Price committee did in two weeks. This statement was made by Administrator Cole. According to figures in the office of the Food Administration there are over 300 grocers in the district which will be affected by this order. As several of the committee members are men who own stores having heavy overhead expenses, this maximum price does not mean that the smaller store on the outskirts of the city need charge the maximum price. One of the members made the statement that the fair price is the maximum; but ordinary and legitimate competition will decide the prevailing price. That the grocery business is far from a get-rich-quick business was evidenced by the statement that since the first of this year more than 300 groceries have changed hands. Monday was the first day of the embargo on entire wheat products, and several bakers were reported to Administrator Cole for not observing this ruling. "All bread must contain at least 20 per cent wheat substitutes and all pastries at least 33 1/3 per cent substitutes from now on," said Mr. Cole. "While many of the bakers are not aware of the date for this ruling yet." We KNOW we can serve you WE SOLICIT YOUR BUSINESS BECAUSE WE KNOW WE CAN SERVE YOU WELL AND TO OUR MUTUAL ADVANTAGE.

The amount of government insurance in force is more than three times as much as the total ordinary life insurance in force with any life insurance company in the world. The splendid result which gives to more than a million of the soldiers and sailors of our country the benefits of this insurance, which Secretary McAdoo has justly described as the most just and humane provision ever made by any government for its fighting men, is due to the quick appreciation a member of the Junior Red Cross. That goal had been accomplished and a beautiful banner whose design is official for the Junior auxiliary of the Anaheim chapter was presented to the school. The banner with its mountings was made by the art and manual training departments of the school. Enthusiasm is running high among the boys and girls and in a few days organized work for the poor children of France and Belgium will be commenced in earnest. The following program was render- The amount of government insurance in force is more than three times as much as the total ordinary life insurance in force with any life insurance company in the world. The splendid result which gives to more than a million of the soldiers and sailors of our country the benefits of this insurance, which Secretary McAdoo has justly described as the most just and humane provision ever made by any government for its fighting men, is due to the quick appreciation by the beneficiaries of the value of the insurance and the invaluable aid patriotically given to the war rick insurance bureau of the treasury by the press of the country, the officers of the army and navy, and many of the individual soldiers and sailors to which must be added the earnest and efficient work of officers and agents of the insurance companies, fraternal beneficiary associations, and many patriotic organizations. The campaign which has for its purpose the insurance of each and every person entitled to insurance under the law, will be continued. The time within which insurance may be applied for has been extended by a general resolution of congress, until April 12, 1918. The automatic insurance, however, which automatically gave insurance to all entitled to receive it until February 12, although no application was made, has expired. Hereafter only those who have applied for and received policies will receive insurance. INTERESTING PROGRAM AT FREMONT SCHOOL Washington's Birthday Fittingly Observed by the Pupils Washington's birthday was fittingly observed in the Fremont school by a program, given below, which combined the spirit of the day with the Junior Red Cross idea.
