VOLUME XXXXVII PEOPLE WARNED FOOD PROBLEM IS ACUTE A. R. SPRAGUE TELLS FARMERS TO AT ONCE PRODUCE MORE PORK—AN ESSENTIAL PRODUCT BOARD OF TRADE TAKES ACTIVE PART IN FORMATION OF A FARM CENTER The Anaheim board of trade held one of the most important meetings of its existence Monday evening, when the large audience listened to an able discourse by A. R. Sprague, who talked from the viewpoint of an expert upon agricultural pursuits, and touched upon the formation of farm centers, which are now being organized throughout the country. Mr. Sprague, Orange county farm advisor, outlined some of the most important features of the work along the line of agriculture that will engage his attention. Mr. Sprague must raise some hogs, as pork and its by-products are nationally looked upon as being the most likely product to produce at this time. The nation faces a crisis now, and if we are to win we must feed our brave men who have gone over there in that the liberty of the nation might survive. The morale of the soldiery must at all hazards be maintained, and that can only be brought about by properly caring for them. This is no idle talk, and Mr. Sprague comes with a message of uplift, from the viewpoint of agriculture and all its ramifications, in order that we may be victorious. Every farmer in this vicinity should at once bestir himself and help this cause along. He should join the local farm center. Much good will come from these organizations. Meetings will be held monthly and Mr. Sprague will be on hand to advise the people. The formation of boys' clubs is an important branch of this question. Boys must be taught how to make the soil productive. But they must first become interested in their work. Mr. Sprague told of the recent meeting of 300 boys, coming from all parts of the state, who met at the university at Berkeley and related their experiences. It was astonishing what proficiency they had developed in the way of production of many of the branches in which they had aligned themselves.

R. Sprague, who talked from the viewpoint of an expert upon agricultural pursuits, and touched upon the formation of farm centers, which are now being organized throughout the country. Mr. Sprague, Orange county farm advisor, outlined some of the most important features of the work along the line of agriculture that will engage his attention. Mr. Sprague is thoroughly competent and knows where he speaks, and says that it is of the utmost importance that every acre of land produce something that will be of value to the people, especially at this time when the world is at war. In the first place Mr. Sprague says we must raise pork, and do it at once. Every orange grower and walnut grower must be made to feel that it is his patriotic duty to help along this industry. In the next few months pork is going to range from 25 to 30 cents per pound, on the hoof. The government has fixed the price of hogs in relation to the feed used, at a ratio of 13 to 1, that is, should corn be worth $1 per bush would sell at $13 per 100 pounds, and it is not at all improbable that before the year is out there will be no park in this state unless farmers respond readily and help to provide this essential commodity. Mr. Sprague gave a learned discourse upon what is best to produce from an agricultural viewpoint, and then to know how to care for the crops after they are started. Efficiency must be the watchword and there must be no waste. Already much has been done, but there yet remains much to be learned. Mr. Sprague said the conditions here in Orange county were unusual—owing to the diversity of crops. These conditions perhaps do not exist any where else. In this county 670 farmers petitioned the supervisors to create the office of farm advisor and upon such a favorable showing on the part of the farmers the office was brought into being. Mr. Sprague came highly recommended and he has been chosen for this important work. The county organization is made up of farm centers distributed about the county and all come under the jurisdiction of that body. As yet Anaheim has no farm center but a movement is now actively under way for its organization and before long the people most vitally interested will perfect the farm center. Mr. Sprague's duty will be to advise The formation of boys' clubs is an important branch of this question. Boys must be taught how to make the soil productive. But they must first become interested in their work. Mr. Sprague told of the recent meeting of 300 boys, coming from all parts of the state, who met at the university at Berkeley and related their experiences. It was astonishing what proficiency they had developed in the way of production of many of the branches in which they had aligned themselves. The boys cultivated all the way from a half acre to a ten acre tract and raised crops of various kinds to perfection. The average yield was extraordinary in many cases and showed what could be accomplished when hard work and perseverance were prime factors. These boys' clubs receive instruction from the state university and are started out on the right road. But they must take interest in their work, and when they once become interested the rest comes easily. Mr. Sprague looked with disfavor upon too much book learning and clerical pursuits being taught the rising generation, especially at this time. It would be folly to start a boy out in the world unprepared to meet conditions that now exist. He must be a producer. The day of the soft-hand job is past. Clerical positions and counter jumping have many more applications than there are jobs and these conditions must be changed. The boys of today must be taught to make mother earth bring forth its fruits and that can only be accomplished by persistent labor. Mr. Sprague took occasion to say that farming in some sections is carried on in a more or less desultory manner, much to the discredit of the parties involved. Farming is just as important as any other line of activity and should be conducted systematically. Wherever the farmer is successful the same condition relates to all other avocations. The selection of the proper kind of seed was a very important phase of successful horticulture. Great loss of time and profit is occasioned by the fact of inferior seed being used. Mr. Sprague's address was highly interesting and instructive and was conducive of much good. All the gentlemen present realize that now is the time for action and the farm advisor will be given all assistance possible. A communication was received from the Riverside Chamber of Commerce, extending an invitation to the local body to attend the dedication services election days, both elections. On Friday tees will be elected for school and grammar and on the following election will be held for voting upon a prop $48,000 for the erec school building on t for the improvementings now in need of There will be two high school board, being removed from the H.

As yet Anaheim has no farm center but a movement is now actively under way for its organization and before long the people most vitally interested will perfect the farm center. Mr. Sprague's duty will be to advise these farmers in all branches of the industry and he will have access to the departments of the state university and also the federal departments to assist him if occasion demands. There is something of benefit to be learned every day, and it is the purpose to get the farmers, old and young, interested in this work. Mr. Sprague recited one instance here that came under his observation wherein a walnut grower had to pay an unusually high rate to have his crop of nuts harvested, just because he did not know how to care for the crop while it was maturing. This also applies to all other branches of horticultural and agricultural pursuits. It is in this regard that Mr. Sprague will devote his energies and his labors will be of vast importance to all tillers of the soil. Mr. Sprague laid especial stress upon the fact that the people of the nation, and of this state and county, must awaken to the realization that they must produce more foodstuffs. Each state will be looked upon to provide its own quota of commodities necessary for its existence. There will be none shipped here from outside points. The same applies to counties, in great measure. People must realize this important fact and do so at once. Men who own walnut and orange groves must set aside part of their tracts and for the present at least, A communication was received from the Riverside Chamber of Commerce, extending an invitation to the local body to attend the dedication services of the citrus experiment station in that city early next month. Mr. Sprague announced that he would attend the dedication and would represent this city. Chairman McCord, upon behalf of the board of trade, thanked Mr. Sprague for the honor conferred upon this city by attending the Riverside meeting as Anaheim's representative. A large number of new members were elected to the board of trade. It is proposed to have 250 new members in the near future and everybody is signing up. J. L.

PREPARING FOR LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN ANAHEIM'S ALLOTMENT WILL PROBABLY BE THE SAME AS IN SECOND DRIVE MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT TO ARRANGE DETAILS FOR THE THREE WEEK'S DRIVE The campaign for subscriptions to the Third Liberty loan will open on Saturday, April 6. The amount of this loan which the government expects to negotiate for the purpose of financing the war measures in which every citizen is vitally and personally interested is three billion dollars, the same as the last loan which was so heavily over subscribed, and the patriotic people of America are expected to even do better this time than they did in the previous occasion. A. B. McCord, cashier of the Anaheim National bank, is chairman of election days, both of them school elections. On Friday, March 29, trustees will be elected for both the high school and grammar school districts and on the following day a bond election will be held for the purpose of voting upon a proposition to issue $48,000 for the erection of a new school building on the Westside, and for the improvement of other buildings now in need of repair. There will be two vacancies on the high school board, E. E. Angell having removed from the district and A. H. Witman retiring because of expiration of term. Mr. Witman will be a candidate to succeed himself, and others announced are H. M. Adams, O. T. Callor and Mrs. Ella Coons. There are four voting places, one at the high school building, one at Magnolia, one at Katella and the other at Loara. The polls will open at 8 o'clock in the morning and close at 6 p.m. John M. Henry, who was appointed to fill the unexpired term of C. W. F. Daniels, is the retiring member of the grammar school board. He will probably be a candidate for reelection, but the Eastside people are supporting L. F. Pomeroy of East Center street, as they feel that their section of the city should have representation on the board. There is only one polling place, the Central school building, in this district. The chief interest, however, centers in the bond election on Saturday March 30. An issue of $48,000 is asked by the board, $32,000 of this to be used in purchasing ground and erecting the new building. This will leave $16,000 for beautifying grounds and adding improvements to other buildings. The board has issued the following statement regarding the reasons for calling the election, which explains the necessity for raising the money: "To the Voters and Taxpayers of Anaheim School District: "A number of patrons in the west part of town have petitioned for a school building in the western part of the district, in order that the smaller children need not cross the busy thoroughfares to get to school. As all the buildings now in use are overcrowded, something must be done to relieve the congestion, and it seems wise to us, to erect a building for the lower grades in the western part of town.

KANGAROOS EASILY DEFEAT THE GUINEA PIG TEAM Victors Slated to Play Ontario Bowlers Last Night The Kangaroos and the Guinea Pigs, the two crack bowling teams of Anaheim, started in on a preliminary game Monday night to determine which should play Ontario which was scheduled for Wednesday night. At the end of the second chapter, however, the Guinea Pigs found themselves so far in the rear that they refused to play any more. The Kangaroo team is composed of Fisher, Wisser, Vanatta, Schultz and Karn, the Guineas being Efker, McNally, Dugas, Halliday and Gordon. The Kangaroos made 934 pins in the first game, winning by 150 over their opponents. In the second they scored 1061, being 200 to the good. This discouraged the Guineas and they quit cold. The victors then played the last game alone, making 869 points, a total of 2864 for the three games. Vanatta was the star of the occasion, making 243 and 277 in the first two games. Ontario was scheduled to be here last night, but if the Kangaroos play equal to Monday night's game they won't have a look in. ANAHEIM BALL TEAM WINS BY A NOSE Tuft-Lyons Sluggers Defeated in a Close Game Until the last ball was pitched, retiring the batter on a strike-out, it was anybody's game between Anaheim and the Tuft-Lyons team of Los Angeles on the high school diamond Sunday. The score was three to two in favor of the locals, and the enemy had two men on bases in the ninth, consequently a well placed hit would have tied the score, but two men were out and the third man fanned the atmosphere for three strikes and the game ended. Saturday, April 6. The amount of this loan which the government expects to negotiate for the purpose of financing the war measures in which every citizen is vitally and personally interested is three billion dollars, the same as the last loan which was so heavily over subscribed, and the patriotic people of America are expected to even do better this time than they did in previous occasions. A. B. McCord, cashier of the Anaheim National bank, is chairman of the Liberty loan committee in this city, and is organizing his forces for a three weeks' drive that is expected to sustain Anaheim's reputation for patriotism. In the former drive our minimum allotment was $204,000, and our maximum $340,000. We subscribed $408,000 just double the minimum, and made a record equalled by few towns in the United States. This time it is Mr. McCord's belief that we will even make a better record as the people are beginning to understand the stern necessity for every citizen to do his part. Mr. McCord arranged a meeting to be held at the Anaheim Union Water company's office last night at which the preliminary steps toward launching the campaign on April 6th were taken. The committees who will have charge of the work were appointed and the plan of campaign arranged. The new loan of three billion dollars will draw four and one-fourth percent interest, and as the security is absolutely gilt edged, and the bonds are foreordained to go to a premium there is no excuse for men with idle money refusing to purchase them. Announcement was received Monday from Chairman H. S. McKee of the Southern California Liberty Loan State Central Committee that the denominations of the bonds for the Third Liberty loan campaign will be the same as the Second Liberty loan campaign. Fifty dollars bonds will be sold and it is the desire of President Wilson and Secretary of the Treasury, Wm. G. McAdoo that every man woman and child in the United States will do his utmost to at least purchase a Fifty Dollar bond. If but 50 per cent of the people of the United States bought a $100 bond, the entire loan would be oversubscribed. Plan now just how many bonds you yourself are going to put behind the boys in the trenches. It is urged by the secretary of the treasury that every American should remember that every bond purchased is just one more manne socked C.

As all the buildings now in use are overcrowded, something must be done to relieve the congestion, and it seems wise to us, to erect a building for the lower grades in the western part of town. An architect has submitted a prospectus of the proposed building, which can be seen in a window of the Anaheim National bank building. Quite a few improvements are necessary to be made on both the Central and Fremont buildings in order to preserve them for future use. The erection of the building and the purchase of the grounds with the necessary improvements already stated seem to call for the issue of the bonds." The proposed new building is to consist of five regular graded rooms, a kindergarten, cloak rooms, teachers' rest room, supply room, proper corridors and everything needed to make a complete and up-to-date school. It is to be of Spanish Colonial (often called Mission) design and concrete, hollow title or brick construction with red clay tile roof. A special feature is to be made of the kindergarten. It is to be made about 30x50 feet in size, with proper cloak rooms and separate private collets, and arranged so it can conveniently be used for small public gatherings—a sort of civic center place. The class rooms are all to face either east or south and so constructed with French doors and transoms that one entire side of each room can be thrown open making each an "open air" room. the incidental expenses, which amount to about $2000 per year. This sum is raised from farmers throughout the county. Until the last ball was pitched, retiring the batter on a strike-out, it was anybody's game between Anaheim and the Tuft-Lyons team of Los Angeles on the high school diamond Sunday. The score was three to two in favor of the locals, and the enemy had two men on bases in the ninth, consequently a well placed hit would have tied the score, but two men were out and the third man fanned the atmosphere for three strikes and the game was ended. George Krause pitched a splendid game, striking out fourteen of the huskles from Los Angeles, and allowing them only three hits. McWordy, twirler for the visitors also did excellent work in the box, only four hits being made off his delivery, but his wing gave out in the fateful seventh and Leake took his place. McWordy retired four men and Leake one. Ziegler at short, and Reicey in left field, are two new men on the Anaheim line up, but both made good. Reicey gathered in four flies that were driven out in his garden. Ziegler, who is somewhere between four and five feet tall, was a sensation. He made a sensational catch of a fly, snatching the ball out of the center fielder's paws with a backhanded motion of his left. He also bunted the ball into the pitcher's hands and beat his throw to first. Ziegler is small, but he is always in the proper place when needed. The Anaheim team has lost two of its best men, Charley Krause, the catcher, and Armbell, third baseman, both having answered the call to the colors and joined the army. They will be missed by the fans, as both were popular members of the team. Mrs. Clem Westerman was notified by wire Saturday of the death of her brother in Kansas. Until a patriotic traitorous ally.

Grossman, has filed suit in the superior court of Orange county against the school for $25,000 damages. According to the boy's mother, the alleged beating occurred the night of Jan. 9th after Joseph had wandered from the school with another boy and later was picked up on the street by an officer who returned the boys to the school. Joseph had been a student at the school but a few days when he grew homesick and decided to leave for Los Angeles to see his mother, without the permission of the officials, it is said. It is alleged that after he had been returned by the officer, he was beaten over the back by the head of the school, and that as a result of the punishment it was necessary to seek medical aid for the boy. Mrs. Amerian applied to the humane society and was sent to Dr. Rafe C. Chaffin. The physician said that when the Amerian boy was brought to him the lad was suffering from a severe beating; evidently inflicted with a stick, and also from a nervous breakdown. Dr. Chaffin at the time outlined on a chart of the human body the extent of the lad's alleged injuries. According to Attorney Grossman, the boy is still suffering from nervousness as a result of the alleged beating and oftentimes at night, awakens his GERMAN KULTUR IS SPEAKER'S SUBJECT C. C.

C. Chapman's address to the Anaheim business men at the board of trade luncheon Thursday. This doctrine, he declared, had been pounded into the German mind for nearly half a century, and is responsible for the savagery exhibited by the soldiers of the kaiser in the present war. Mr. Chapman tried to analyze the mind of the German soldiers and ex- According to Attorney Grossman, the boy is still suffering from nervousness as a result of the alleged beating and oftentimes at night, awakens his mother by crying aloud, "Please don't hit me again, I won't run away." Attorneys W. J. Ford and Henry G. Bodkin have been engaged by the school to defend the suit, and according to Attorney Bodkin a demurrer will be filed claiming that the complaint as filed is insufficient and incomplete, as it does not constitute a cause of action. "It is our intention to dispose of the matter at an early date," said Bodkin. "We will make an absolute denial of the charge. The boy was not brutally beaten, although I believe he did receive slight punishment, for breaking the rules by running away. "The school has been established for many years.

SWIFT RETRIBUTION Down in Oklahoma if a man is not a patriotic American he must keep his traitorous tongue still or pay the penalty. At Tulsa Sunday Joe Sing a German waiter, declared he hoped every American soldier in France would be killed. S. I. Miller, special officer of the county council of defense, heard the remark and sent three bullets into Sing's body, killing him instantly. Sunday evening Steven Ivenoff a Bulgar trine that whatever is done in the name and at the behest of the government is right, was the subject of C. C. Chapman's address to the Anaheim business men at the board of trade luncheon Thursday. This doctrine, he declared, had been pounded into the German mind for nearly half a century, and is responsible for the savagery exhibited by the soldiers of the kaiser in the present war. Mr. Chapman tried to analyze the mind of the German soldiers and explain why so many atrocities were being committed by them. He read numerous expressions from German writers, teachers, preachers, soldiers and statesmen declaring that the kaiser is endowed with divine rights, of the Almighty, that they are superior to all others, and whatever frightfulness they commit at the command of their rulers is just. This propaganda had been crammed into the people through the schools, the pulpit and the press until they thoroughly believed it, and one of the duties of America in this war was to upset this doctrine, and teach the people of Germany the falseness of it. The kaiser, he declared, was following the example of Alexander, Caesar and Napoleon in seeking to conquer and dominate the world, but he will fall just as they did, and as all other men of like ambition are doomed to fail. The German people of half a century ago, would not have been guilty of the outrages committed by the present day troops who are under the insidious influence of the kultur teachings. The speaker stated that some of the finest men of his acquaintance were either natives of Germany or of German parentage and his talk did not apply to them as they were not under the influence of kaiserism or German "kultür." He also told of his recent trip to New York where he saw the streets congested with khaki clad boys who were ready to go to France to defend this nation against the menace of kaiserism. His heart swelled with pride, he declared, when he held these brave young men ready and anxious to place themselves between their country and the enemy that threatens it. Mr. Chapman is chairman of our local exemption board and is devoting his time to assisting the government in organizing the great army that is going to wipe autocracy forever from the earth. His son, Stanley Chapman, is a lieutenant in the army and is now at the front in France.

Sunday evening Steven Ivenoff, a Bulgarian miner at Hickord, was shot and killed by Patrolman Mains for seditious utterances. Mr. Sprague at the meeting of the board of trade said that after arriving in Orange county to assume his duties as farm advisor, he was shocked to learn that no farm center had as yet been organized in this wideawake city. He was surprised to hear that many farm centers have been formed in the county, and it is necessary that every locality do likewise. There are many farmers and fruit growers in this city and it is of the utmost importance that they get together and organize along the lines indicated. After the center has been formed meetings are held monthly and the farm advisor attends and tells the farmers what is best for them to do in the way of planting and caring for their crops. There is something to be learned every day in these pursuits and the tillers of the soil should avail themselves of the privilege of receiving expert advice concerning their chosen line of activity. Both the high and the grammar school pupils are enjoying their Easter vacation this week, and the teachers are taking advantage of the lull to recuperate. The daylight saving law goes into effect at 2 o'clock Monday morning, April 1, therefore if your are obedient to all the laws, ordinances, regulations and ramifications of the government you will sleep on the night of March 31 with one ear on the clock. When it strikes two you will get up and turn it ahead one hour. Some people appear to be somewhat bewildered regarding this law, but all you have to do is to turn your clock ahead one hour and then obey it; just as you have been doing heretofore. This means however, that you will rise an hour earlier, eat breakfast, luncheon and dinner an hour earlier, knock off work an hour earlier and go to bed an hour earlier. There are still 24 hours in the day, and the sun continues to travel on schedule time, but the clock will be one hour ahead of the sun. The law expects you to obey the clock and not the sun.
