BEET GROWERS DEMAND COMMISSION'S PRICES Acreage Planted is 35 Par Cent Below That of Last Year Beet acreage of growers identified with the Associated Beet Growers of Southern California is 35 per cent less than it was in 1917, according to the directors of the organization, who met at Santa Ana Saturday for their regular monthly session. The association will endeavor to induce the factories to operate under the price established by the investigations commission, which recently completed its labors and recommended a price of $8.25 for 15 per cent beets, with 65 cents for each additional per cent. The association will also endeavor to have the factories recognize it in the matter of the employment of chemists and firemen to represent it in the laboratories and at the scales. Formal action on this point was taken Saturday, when a motion prevailed that the organization proceed in efforts to secure such recognition. State Food Administrator Merritt assured the organization at the outset of its campaign for better prices and recognition that either the government or the University of California would provide chemists and firemen, and the directors are going to insist on this promise being carried out. Clyde Bishop, attorney for the association, states that the organized growers would rather operate under the schedule made by the commission, with its proviso that the price be less if the refiners received less than the $7.35 per 100 pounds for the refined product, than the guaranteed price of $7.50 per ton regardless of the selling price of the finished product. He takes the position that there is no pos- conquering the United States had she elected to try? "The British navy—that is all that stood between us." "Had the British navy not prevented it, we would have other outrages to be indignant over than the outrages upon Belgium. They would have wreaked their outrages upon Americans. "For 20 years they have been publishing books and pamphlets about this war in Germany, and have been getting ready for it, but the world slept on. More than 50,000 books and pamphlets were published in Germany on the subject of the coming world war. Still people say it was a bolt from the blue. "Within thirty days Germany will put out peace propositions, offering peace on condition that she should be allowed to retain free passage to Asia Minor and a broad highway to strike again at civilization by means of her railroad into Asia Minor. Will we agree to it? "If Germany is allowed to carry out her Mittel Europa scheme of empire, liberty will be killed in the world, and all that we have fought and worked for will have been lost. Germany will have amassed the mightiest empire in the world's history by welding Austria, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and the Ukraine into one nation, to be hurled upon the rest of the world when the German military masters will it."

MAN Success of Berlin to Bagdad Scheme Would Mean Liberty's Death If Germany is able to carry out her scheme of Mittel Europa she will build the mightiest empire in the history of the world, and liberty will be destroyed, Sidney Coryn, San Francisco writer and lecturer, told the City club of Los Angeles. As the climax to a scholarly and illuminating address on the brutal Prussian plot for embroiling Europe to further her scheme for world domination, Mr. Coryn exhibited a German published map, printed in Spanish, for circulation throughout the Spanish speaking nations, picturing the proposed Mittel Europa empire, with the great Berlin to Bagdad railroad stretching from the North sea to the gulf of Persia. Coryn charged flatly that Germany incited Austria to send the Arch Duke Frederick to Serbia, that Austria had sent ahead assassins to murder the archduke and his wife, and that Serbia attempted to expel these assassins, only to be prevented from doing so by the Austrian ambassador, who vouched for them as "his friends." "This crime was perpetrated in order to afford an excuse to Germany and Austria to enforced terms on Serbia which they knew would most likely precipitate a world war, but they were prepared, Der Tag had arrived, and they were ready to spring at the throat of civilization," said Mr. Coryn. "Civilization owes an enormous debt to Serbia. Serbia, 600 years before, had saved Europe from Mohammed-anism, and had never sheather the sword since then in her fight for liberty. NELKS CLUB MEETS AND ELECTS OFFICERS Some of the Names Have a Suspicious Bolshevik Sound The first meeting of the Nelks club was held in Nelks Canyon two miles southwest of Anaheim Sunday. Mr. Bones Carpenter of Albuquerque was elected president, Mr. Mauritz MacGillivwitch vice president, Mr. Shorty Cooper secretary, Mr. Guy Maud French treasurer and Nutty Witherill bottle washer. After the election, the day was spent in a general good time. The ladies knitted and "knocked," mostly the latter. Horse shoes and "one-old-cat" were the principal amusement of the day. Ed Bellevieu won the prize for the best horse shoe pitcher. The Humboldt Kid gave a very pretty exhibition of "balance rock" during the last game. "Lucy" Jones sang a few songs his favorite being, "My Shirt Is Out—on the Line Drying." The Johnsons, (father and two sons) were right there on the piano, banjo and cornet. Cooper was barred from horse shoes as he is so long he could reach half way from one peg to the other. Brothers Witherill and Carpenter were in charge of the "White Ribbon" counter. "Mao" the artist was "bolling" mad all day. The bunch had a good time and managed to get away with three "Dutch pots" and all the "fixin's." They were: Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Carpenter, Mr. and Mrs. L. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. French, Mr. and Mrs. H. MacGillivray, Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Cooper, all of Los Angeles, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Bellievau, Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Witherill and Mr. and Mrs. J. Johnson and two sons of Anaheim. Among those conspicuous by their absence were Mr. and Mrs. T. Frank and family (as usual) Mr. and Mrs. Joe Clay and the Beadels.

"Civilization owes an enormous debt to Serbia. Serbia, 600 years before, had saved Europe from Mohammedanism, and had never sheather the sword since then in her fight for liberty. "Now her ruin was planned by Germany and Austria in order to wipe out the weak link in the Berlin to Bagdad railroad, which passes through Serbia. "Also Austria knew that the 36,000-000 Slavs of Serbian ancestry, within the Austrian empire could not be restrained from fighting for freedom, when Serbia was free, so both Germany and Austria had a selfish reason for blotting out Serbia. "Germany was determined to reach Asla Minor and India by way of the Berlin to Bagdad railroad. Remember what Talleyrand told Napoleon: 'Whoever controls Asfa Minor is master of the human race. Look at the map and see how Germany could strike at Indian, Egypt, Persia, the Suez canal, and Russia. "Why did the United States come into the war? What have we to do with all this? "Simply this: Germany placed America last on her list of countries to be conquered. She planned to impose a staggering indemnity upon America, after she had taken our leading cities on the eastern seacoast.

"What prevented Germany from MUST GO STRONGER YET Chairman Henry S. McKee of the Southern California State central committee in an announcement made the following statement: Editor Gazette:—Los Angeles and the cities and towns and rural communities of Southern California have shown splendid results in the Third Liberty loan campaign so far. Many cities and towns have gone over the top but I would urge on every community the fact that they must go stronger, that greater efforts must be made to sell the Third Liberty Loan bonds to more people. It is not sufficient that any community should report an over subscription and sell Liberty bonds to only ten or twenty per cent of the residents of that community. The government asks that every man and woman who is able to buy, must buy and keep on buying until they are sure that they have done their best. The Third Liberty loan must go over the top greater than any bond issue of the past. The government of the United States needs money now to carry the American arms to decisive victory in France and it is a personal matter with each resident of his or her community, that they do their utmost to bring about the accomplishment of this by assisting to over subscribe Southern California in a manner that will place this community in an honored position in this country. C. H. Harnols & Sons the bill posters are patriotically assisting the Liberty loan cause by posting large lithographs on boards they own in eight towns.

Sheriff Jackson soon had him in his office. "I have been going like this for six months, bare-footed and bare headed," said he. "I believe that next to nature is the coming theory of health." His hair is long and his whiskers are red, and his legs and arms are brown. He said he was going to Hollywood to try to get into the movies. Charged With Orange Stealing: When it was learned Saturday that Kane Stamion, charged with stealing oranges from an orchard at Olive, had served ninety days in Los Angeles for petty larceny, a new complaint was made against him. This time he is accused of a felony, the commission of petty larceny with a prior conviction. Mrs. Florence Seidel, also charged with orange stealing, pleaded not guilty to petty larceny. She gave $400 cash ball, and April 26 at 10 a.m. was set for her trial. A jury will hear the evidence in Judge Cox's court. City Marshal Warner of Orange swore to the felony complaint against Stamion upon information received in a letter by Deputy Sheriff Maxwell from Chief Butler of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles report states that on October 16, 1916, Stamion was sentenced to ninety days for stealing $5 out of a letter addressed to Mrs. J. L. Crawford. The reports states that at the time Stamion was suspected of stealing other letters at apartment houses in Los Angeles. electric light wires. The blaze was discovered by Mr. Butler when he went to work. A $150 motor was destroyed. SOLDIERS MAY ASSIST IN FOOD RAISING Furloughs Will be Granted to Men Who Desire to Plant Crops For the purpose of augmenting agricultural production it is the intention of the war department to grant furloughs to enlisted men to enable them to engage in farming during the present season. Commanding officers may grant such furloughs within prescribed rules whenever it appears they will contribute to increased farm production. Furloughs may be given by commanding officers of posts, camps, cantons, divisions, and departments. They will be for short periods, largely for seeding and harvesting time. They will not be granted to enlisted men of or above the grade of first sergeant, nor in an organization that has been ordered to move or is in transit from point soft mobilization or training to a port of embarkation. All furloughs granted will be recalled and the men ordered to their organizations when they have received preparatory orders for duty, overseas. Furloughs granted for farm work will be without pay and allowances, except that enough pay will be retained in each case to meet allotments in force on the day of the order, war risk insurance, and pledges on Liberty bonds. For specially qualified experts in agriculture furloughs may be granted by the secretary of war upon application by the secretary of agriculture, providing such furloughs are voluntarily accepted by the persons for whom application is made. "BE READY TO GIVE ALL" OF UNITED STATES SENATE United States Senator James D. Phelan ringing appeal to every Californian, regarding Loan. It follows: Liberty Bonds must be sold by the Government able to purchase them must doracy shall sue for peace and her militarism greatest obstacles to the early success of the part of the people and the utter lack together with the self-confident optimism war is as good as won. Never was there contest will not be won until America put man power and billions of dollars. The nation rests are at stake and no American in their defense. Every American citizen sacrifice for the war may last for years. In America should purchase Liberty Bonds the possessor of war savings certificates. Saves every traitor as a traitor. Utah will not find trench. The development of the system required for this enormous distribution is one of the wonder of that wonderful industry—the motion picture. The National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. responding to the call of the government, has accomplished this wonder in a few short months. The only place where the films do not follow the fighters is into the clouds. On land and ship, in fort and trench, the projection machine is found. It is estimated that the Y. M. C. A. directs a chain of motion picturetheatres that comprises an average of one theatre for each unit of 4000 or 5000 men who have respended to the call to the colors. At Camp Dix, in Wrightstown, N. J., for instance, there are nine theaters in addition to the immense Y. M. C. A. auditorium, where pictures are shown frequently. The usual population at Camp Dix is 35,000 men. At other cantonments on this side of the water there are more theatres than are to be found at submarine all perils. On the parity and are inviting headquarter day or two lines. To them.

All this without further mottle City Marshal Warner of Orange swore to the felony complaint against Stamion upon information received in a letter by Deputy Sheriff Maxwell from Chief Butler of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles report states that on October 16, 1916, Stamion was sentenced to ninety days for stealing $5 out of a letter addressed to Mrs. J. L. Crawford. The reports states that at the time Stamion was suspected of stealing other letters at apartment houses in Los Angeles. A Question of Veracity: Can a four-months-old pup, no matter what his appetite may be, kill and eat fifteen chickens? Paul Service of Los Alamitos said that John Fox's pup did that very thing, and Service proceeded to kill the pup. Monday morning, Fox told his side of the story to Deputy District Attorney Koepsel, with the result that a complaint charging Paul Service with maliciously killing the pup was given Fox, and Service is to appear before Judge Cox. Fox said that Service came to Fox's home at Los Alamitos, and said Fox's dog had killed fifteen chickens and had eaten them. Fox replied that it was impossible for his dog was only a four-months-old puppy. Fox called the pup out if the house to prove to Service that the pup was not big enough to hold fifteen chickens. Fox says that Service took the pup by the hind legs and beat it against a post until he was dead. Four Houses Burned: A fire at Balboa about 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon caused a loss of between $4000 and $5000. Three cottages at the corner of Central avenue and Adams street, owned by Charles W. Butler of Los Angeles, were completely destroyed together with their contents, and a fourth cottage was damaged. The loss is partially covered by insurance. The origin of the blaze is not definitely known. It is presumed to have started in the cottage occupied by William Collins and family, when Mrs. Collins left home with a meat roast in the oven and the gas stove burning. Mrs. Collins is positive she turned the gas off when she left the cottage. The fire departments at Newport and Balboa responded and by their combined efforts confined the flames to the four cottages. It is probable that the Valencia crop of the Porterville district will be entirely marketed by the end of April. Navel orange growers are expecting to see a bare orange market for their fruit around next Christmas. The H. P. D. Kingsbury Citrus Products Co. made its first shipment of dried orange peel from Redalnds last week. Blossom is particularly heavy on the navel trees in the Porterville district and the trees in the finest condition in years. Information that an attempt is being made to start a movement among the citrus fruit growers of Australia to persuade the Australian government to prohibit the importation of all citrus fruits from America because of alleged danger of citrus canker. WILL YOU? C. A. directs a chain of motion picturetheatres that comprises an average of one theatre for each unit of 4000 or 5000 men who have respended to the call to the colors. At Camp Dix, in Wrightstown, N. J., for instance, there are nine theatres in addition to the immense Y. M. C. A. auditorium, where pictures are shown frequently. The usual population at Camp Dix is 35,000 men. At other cantonments on this side of the water there are more theatres than are to be found at Camp Dix; at few of them is the total lower. But, complex as is the problem of distribution in the United States, the difficulties are elementary by comparison with those to be overcome in France. The intention is to establish central headquarters in Paris and perhaps four or five branches in various parts of the western front. Not only are the American troops to have their movies, but their French, British, Italian and Belgian allies will a swell. To supply the demand for recreation and relaxation from the grim business of defeating the foe, hundreds of thousands of feet of film will be required. The original order, shipment of which began late in December was 500,000 feet. It is expected that before summer this total will have been doubled. Thus the fighting man—the American fighting man has his movie show from the time he enters a training camp until he goes over the top. In the United States the Y. M. C. A. follows in its system of distribution the lines laid down by the six military departments of the government. The fighting man completes his training and prepare to go overseas. For a brief period he is in embarkation camp. The movies are still with him. Then he goes on board a transport. Film shows vary the menotony of the long trip that precedes the excitement of the journey through the "BUY LIBERTY BONDS TO LESSEM" JOHN I. NOLAN APPEALS FO The origin of the blaze is not definitely known. It is presumed to have started in the cottage occupied by William Collins and family, when Mrs. Collins left home with a meat roast in the oven and the gas stove burning. Mrs. Collins is positive she turned the gas off when she left the cottage. The fire departments at Newport and Balboa responded and by their combined efforts confined the flames to the four cottages. The residence of George P. Wilson, cashier of the Newport Beach bank, was threatened, and the furniture removed. The heroic fight of the departments saved the building. The telephone cable was directly over the first house burned and was severed, interrupting the service between Balboa and Newport Beach. Two Fires at the Grove: Two fires, causing a total damage of approximately $1500, set a new "24-hour record" for Garden Grove Saturday. Children playing with matches in the barn on the ranch of Peter Kennedy, located two miles east of Garden Grove, late Saturday afternoon set fire to the structure. Before unitefiremen arrived the building was enveloped in flames and beyond control. Efforts of the firemen were turned to saving the residence, located near the barn. In this they were successful. One horse and a quantity of hay and grain, besides all of the farm machinery were destroyed with the barn. The owner of the ranch lives in Los Angeles, and the place is now occupied by Rev. Bam, a Japanese missionary. Early Saturday morning the blacksmith shop of Earl Butler, located on Ocean avenue, was badly damaged by fire, caused from a short circuit of the naval trees in the Porterville district and the trees in the finest condition in years.

The troops are invited to make the huts their headquarters before they go on in a day or two to a camp back of the lines. The motion picture goes with them. The fighting man who goes to sea in ships is not overlooked in this elaborate system for the entertainment of the forces assembled for the nation's defense. Frequently the Y. M. C. A. records are thrown into disorder by the failure of a shop of war to return a program before sailing to a new post of duty. But the film always comes back, even if the vessel is delayed in its return. The same old reels become tiresome after a while and a fair exchange is no robbery when two war vessels meet after several days away from the nearest Y. M. C. A. hut. All this would have been impossible without the patriotic cooperation of the motion picture producers and dis- winter showed the value of fall packing the hives even in the mild climate of the Pacific states. Five colonies were packed with straw, and five were left covered on their stands. During the winter two of the unprotected colonies were lost, while all of the packed colonies survived the winter period. On the day of the annual farm picnic, April 20, the apiary at the farm will be open for inspection and will be the scene of interesting demonstrations in the apiculturist's work. The apiary possesses ten fine colonies of bees and an extracting house which is fitted with wax presses, an extractor and other necessary apparatus. The university's apiary is about the size best adapted to a small farm. From ten colonies it is estimated the owner can obtain a supply of honey sufficient for his own wants and also an amount to market. Beekeepers, orchardists and any other persons interested in beekeeping are invited to visit the apiary on picnic day where attendants will be glad to answer their questions and show them just how the plant is operated and how to start a similar one of their own. In the livestock and float parade which is one of the feature events of the afternoon, the apiary will be represented by a bee float, now being built by some of the students. The parade is any one of the many events on the program for the big day. The morning will be taken up with demonstrations at the headquarters of the various departments, and athletic events and stock judging contests. In the afternoon there will be more athletic events, entertainment for the women, contests in sheep shearing, milking, harnessing, horse races, boxing and wrestling, base ball games and concert numbers. Two dances in the evening will end the day. With the tractor demonstration on the problem of united States, the century by combined be overcome in is to establish Paris and peranches in various parts of the country have been placed at the service of the Y. M. C. A. for the distribution of programs. All this has been done at cost. Any approach to regular-market rates for motion picture programs would bankrupt the organization in a few months. UNIVERSITY FARM APIARY With the shortage of sugar all over the country no longer a probability, but a grim reality, it comes as some consolation to learn from the University farm authorities at Davis that it is a simple matter to insure a supply of sweets by establishing a small apiary on every farm or garden. In addition to the value of the honey obtained, the bees prove of great benefit to every archardist as agents in pollinating fruit trees. The cost of starting an apiary is not great. One colony of bees will cost about five dollars, and a person starting out with five colonies should be able with an average amount of care to increase this number to ten colonies within a year it is stated. In the orchard one hive of bees is sufficient to pollenize an acre of trees. An interesting experiment carried on the the farm-apiary during the last morning will be taken up with demonstrations at the headquarters of the various departments, and athletic events and stock judging contests. In the afternoon there will be more athletic events, entertainment for the women, contests in sheep shearing, milking, harnessing, horse races, boxing and wrestling, base ball games and concert numbers. Two dances in the evening will end the day. With the tractor demonstration on the three days preceding the picnic, it is expected that the added attraction will draw a crowd far in excess of the 15,000 spectators that attended the event last year.
