THE CANDIDATES WE The People VOT WALTER FRED A. WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS Secretary Metzgar Submits Report At the Annual Meeting Following is the annual report of Secretary J. C. Metzgar, submitted at the annual meeting of the associated chambers of commerce of Orange county: The past year was an important one in the history of Orange county for accomplishments and initiated propositions by the associated chambers of commerce of Orange county. Eight years of constructive effort by this body has resulted in many notable achievements of value both to the present and to the future welfare of the citizenship of this most favored spot. The question is frequently asked "How was it done?" "Why is the Orange county of today so far ahead of other sections apparently just as favorably located?" And a good answer is because of the Orange county type of people and the Orange county spirit of cooperation. For, mind you, communities do not grow of them- Officially started the movement that resulted in the organization of the Orange county farm bureau. Installed an exhibit at the National Orange Show at San Bernardino. Endorsed the construction of an Orange county coast boulevard. Petitioned the Los Angeles county's board of supervisors to fulfill their promise to improve their part of the Brea canyon road. Protested the proposed telephone rate increase before the state railroad commission. Recommended the completion of the report of the harbor commission. Recommended the paving of the mile of road between Long Beach and Garden Grove, so as to complete that boulevard, also the paying of a short strip of road between the north end of the Garden Grove road and Orange-thorpe. Endorsed the improvement of Newport Harbor and recommended a county bond election to meet the cost. Inaugurated a movement to make a roster of the enlisted men of Orange county to be kept in the office of the county recorder. body has resulted in many notable achievements of value both to the present and to the future welfare of the citizenship of this most favored spot. The question is frequently asked "How was it done?" "Why is the Orange county of today so far ahead of other sections apparently just as favorably located?" And a good answer is because of the Orange county type of people and the Orange county spirit of cooperation. For, mind you, communities do not grow of themselves, the citizenship must coordinate along constructive progressive principles in order to achieve. It was said a long time ago that "nature made the town sites but men built the towns and cities." It is a fact that Chicago was a swamp, Kansas City a stone quarry, and Denver a mountain peak, but because of the type of people living there great cities have been built. So no matter how favorably Orange county may be located, the present modern Orange county of today would be an impossibility without the constructive type of people who have made it one of the most attractive places on earth to live. Ten regular and two called meetings were held in different parts of the county during the year. The average attendance at the monthly meetings was high and this indicates the interest taken in the activities of the body. The ensuing year will probably enjoy a maximum attendance, at least more than for some three years past. The delegates and members of the various committees were faithful and diligent and discharged the duties assigned to them with neatness and dispatch. In addition to the regular routine work of the delegates, committees and office force the following important activities are a brief resume of the period covered by this report. In conclusion: That the citizens or Orange county are appreciative of the valuable time and energy expended by the loyal delegates of this body goes without saying. Its representatives are amongst the leaders in their respective communities, their services are given freely and gladly, honor is the consideration involved and there is none among you that does not place such a distinction above a monetary value—therefore Orange county benefits accordingly. The co-operative policy of this body must ever be its aim if a continued success is achieved. In closing I will quote from my report of last year as follows: "While much has been accomplished in the past, the work of the Association must continue to cement all the Orange county into one cooperative community. While differences may arise, the membership must remember that this is a majority rule association in a majority rule county and one cannot help any part of Orange county without helping all of Orange county, neither can one part suffer calamity or injury without of necessity injuring the balance of the political subdivision known as Orange county. As this association was founded on a cooperative basis, so must it continue After reading these looks at the hog wagon and vast hopefulness is declared to be the food producing cattle.

But not every one knows what foods are by character, training and disposition most fitted to do the winning. The question is answered by certain experts at the food conference of the University of Illinois. They unhesitatingly declare that against the embattled pork and beans of the nation the wienerwurst and souerkraut of the central empires will go down in hopeless defeat. After reading their remarks one looks at the hog with new respect and vast hopefulness. That animal is declared to be the most efficient of food producing animals except the cow. A hog will produce 15 pounds of human food out of 100 pounds of digestible matter without exerting himself in the least. The same amount will produce less than three pounds of beef or mutton. One can thus readily see what a large part should be reserved to the hog in our the mere fact of the ease with which it was possible for such an expedition to leave Mexican waters being in itself regarded as sufficient to justify an American demand upon Mexico for explanations. The capture of the Agassiz so soon after her departure from the Mexican port of Mazatlan is a feather in the cap of Uncle Sam, and shows the vigilance with which coast waters in this part of the world are being patrolled by our navy. In the words of a high naval officer: "The Agassiz, as a prize, is contemptible. As a symbol of defeat to German intrigue and German machination, she is mightily important. Her capture is significant notice to the kaiser that the United States of America is on guard; that she is capable of protecting herself at every angle of this great game of war, and that no longer may Mexico be regarded as safe vantage ground for enemy plotting." HAWAIIAN FRUIT PEST If you are planning a visit to the Hawaiian Islands put it down in your apples, taro, and coconut and these will not be passed by inspectors at ports of entry such as San Francisco, Los Angeles or Seattle, unless they have been inspected by the federal agents in Hawaii and bear a federal certificate of inspection. Passengers and ships are permitted to take on board in Hawaii fruits of all descriptions for consumption while en route to the coast. All contraband fruits, however, must be eaten or destroyed before the ship comes within the 3-mile limit of the mainland. Otherwise the transporting company or the individual passenger, whichever is the offender, is subject to fine or imprisonment. THE SOLDIER AND THE BOND BUYER "It is a sacred duty of every citizen and it should be regarded as a glorious privilege by every patriot to uphold the government's credit with the same kind of self sacrifice and nobility of soul that their gallant sons exhibit when they die for us on the battle fields of Europe."

That animal is declared to be the most efficient of food producing animals except the cow. A hog will produce 15 pounds of human food out of 100 pounds of digestible matter without exerting himself in the least. The same amount will produce less than three pounds of beef or mutton. One can thus readily see what a large part should be reserved to the hog in our general war plans. As for beans, it is unnecessary to dwell on their value as a food product, their complete coordination with the hog and the fondness with which they are already regarded in a most cultured section. RAIDERS' CAREER WAS SHORT Thousands of spectators saw the arrival of the German raider Alexander Agassiz at San Diego Wednesday in tow of a United States gun boat. In addition to the German crew of five landed there in irons in the afternoon there were also found on board and held for federal officers, Miss Maude Lochrane, owner of the vessel and a former resident of Los Angeles, and Mr. and Mrs. Cornellius A. Heintz. It is still undecided whether the crew will be charged with piracy or held as prisoners of war or simply alien enemies. The purpose of the expedition, armed as it was with a large quantity of ammunition, rifles and revolvers, and equipped with a secret signaling code, was avowedly to raid commerce in southern Pacific waters. The boat was acting under orders of the German ambassador at the City of Mexico, and this fact is considered likely to involve the Mexican government, capture is significant notice to the kaiser that the United States of America is on guard; that she is capable of protecting herself at every angle of this great game of war, and that no longer may Mexico be regarded as safe vantage ground for enemy plotting." HAWAIIAN FRUIT PEST If you are planning a visit to the Hawaiian Islands put it down in your memory now that you are not to bring back any Mediterranean fruit flies. The United States department of agriculture, in a recent publication asks the cooperation of travelers in preventing the introduction into North America of this destructive pest, which has been found by inspectors in fruits shipped or carried into this country. So serious is the menace of the fruit fly in Hawaii to the rich semi tropical fruit growing sections of this country that entomologists of the Federal department are asking American travelers to assist the rigid quarantine measures in making an absolute barrier against the fly. The publication designed to furnish information that will thwart the entrance of the Hawaiian pest into this country is Bulletin 640 of the department of agriculture. It describes this pest in detail and the damage it does in the islands to fruits, nuts and vegetables. This fly attacks 72 kinds of vegetables and fruits and is particularly destructive because it is difficult to control. To prevent the fly from becoming established on the mainland of this country a quarantine has been established. This quarantine makes it unlawful for a person to ship or carry any fruit from the Hawaiian Islands except ordinary eating bananas, pineapple or coconut. THE SOLDIER AND THE BOND BUYER "It is a sacred duty of every citizen and it should be regarded as a glorious privilege by every patriot to uphold the government's credit with the same kind of self-sacrifice and nobility of soul that their gallant sons exhibit when they die for us on the battle fields of Europe." Secretary McAdoo has issued no stronger call upon the American people to support the Liberty loan. The Third Liberty loan will soon be opened. Behind every American soldier in France, back of every American sailor on the seas, there should be a worker and a bond buyer at home. There's is the braver part, but we who remain at home can be no less useful if we exhibit that self-sacrifice that they demonstrate in risking their lives. If the American people possess and put into effective force the same faith in Americanism that the Germans show for their kultur, the struggle between German kultur and American civilization will be a short one and America's victory overwhelming. We may be a little slow, may have much inertia to overcome, but American might, like the mills of the gods, may grind slowly but will grind exceeding small. WHAT YOUR LIBERTY BOND WILL ACCOMPLISH The following figures give one a definite idea of what his or her loan to the government by the purchase of Liberty bonds will accomplish when used by the war department. One $50 bond will buy trench knives for a rifle company, or 23 TICKET TRUSTEES TEE To Rule EE: opposed X orsed X O THE BOND of every citizen carded as a glory patriot to upcredit with the sacrifice and noneir gallant sons for us on the peace." POTATOES FREE WITH CALIFORNIA MEALS hand grenades, or 14 rifle grenades, or 37 cases of surgical instruments for onlisted men's belts, or 10 cases of surgical instruments for officers' belts. A $100 bond will clothe a soldier, or feed a soldier for eight months, or purchase 5 rifles or 30 rifle grenades, or 43 hand grenales, or 25 pounds of either, or 145 hot water bags, or 2,000 surgical needles. A $100 and a $50 bond will clothe and equip an infantry soldier for service overseas, or feed a soldier for a year. Two $100 bonds will purchase a horse or mule for cavalry, artillery or other service. Three $100 bonds will clothe a soldier and feed him for one year in France, or buy a motorcycle for a machine gun company. Four $100 bonds will buy an X-ray outfit. One $500 bond will supply bicycles for the headquarters company of an infantry regiment. W.S.S. "When you receive money," suggests Secretary McAdoo to the school children, "invest a few pennies of it in Thrift stamps, lend it to the government. Twenty-five cents a week from every one of you will bring into the treasury over six million dollars a week or three hundred millions in a year. We need it for ships and food and munitions." W.S.S. In Ohio this week is "Mothers of Soldiers Week" and the mothers of the soldiers are selling war savings stamps throughout the business districts of Ohio's cities. W.S.S. The war savings stamps not the purchaser 4½ per cent and no need to worry over chance. W.S.S. The school children of New York City garnered $750,000 in their first, two days' campaign. Over 5,000,000 order cards were used and some of the school made insistent calls for additional quantities beyond their allotments. POTATOES FREE WITH CALIFORNIA MEALS For the purpose of effecting a further saving of wheat, the state food administrator has asked all public dining places in the state to serve potatoes free with meals costing 25 cents or more. The food administrator, R.P. Merritt, calls attention to the fact, that besides tending to conserve the wheat, this measure is found desirable in that the present practice of charging for potatoes with meals, since the portion of bread and rolls has been cut down by official ruling, works a hardship upon large numbers of people. The food administration has fixed the price of California pink beans at eight cents a pound to the grower. W.S.S. NOTES Why not invest Liberty Bond interest in War Savings stamps and thrift stamps? Every six months there are hundreds who receive interest from government bonds—why not invest the interest back into financial support for the men who have gone over? W.S.S. All kinds of organizations are making cooperative efforts for WSS investments. Is yours? W.S.S. It is expected that over 22,000,000 school children will become bond holders during the coming campaign. The war savings stamps not the purchaser 4½ per cent and no need to worry over chance. W.S.S. The school children of New York City garnered $750,000 in their first two days' campaign. Over 5,000,000 order cards were used and some of the school made insistent calls for additional quantities beyond their allocations. W.S.S. Tom Murphy, state organizer for war savings work in churches and church societies is exultant over the start made. "And the beauty of it all is," he reminds the church folks, "that the more of us the better—the more there will be for us to do—for this thrift and war savings campaign is a persistent, daily continuous proposition that will grow as time goes by."
