MUST GOOPERATE TO PREVENT FIRE LOSS CHIEF GOODRICH ASKS PEOPLE TO KEEP YARDS CLEAR OF INFLAMMABLE MATERIAL CITIZENS WHO HAVE ONLY CRITICISMS TO OFFER AT FIRES SHOULD STAY AWAY Firemen, Business Men and Citizens of our City: It is a far step from the old system of one hundred years ago, when a fire alarm called into action the citizens with buckets of water and the volunteer fire men with their hand engines, to the up to date apparatus we have in this day and age. Especially in cities where they have half a hundred men trained and splendidly equipped to respond to the call instantly when the citizen pulls the lever in the corner fire alarm box. Modern fire fighting is truly a science. The auto apparatus, the powerful engines, the automatic aerial truck, and the methods of handling fires in paid departments is as far ahead of the old days as the automatic alarm is ahead of the ancient method of crying "Fire!" to arouse the citizens. Strange as it may seem the fire losses of our country have not decreased, in fact some times we think half full of distillate and coal oil and lubricating oil on the floor, and the floor also saturated with oil and grease and a half dozen greasy overalls and barley sacks thrown under the work bench, but instead keep "No Smoking" in plain view, enforce the sign, and keep the place free from such rubbish and trash that is liable to cause a conflagration, and ruin your property and perhaps your neighbor's also. You can help us in this way to decrease the fire losses and help us in our prevention work. How easy it is for us to forget our own duties when we are watching others. At a recent fire I heard the remark made by bystanders who did not have anything to do but stand in the way of the men that were trying to do something, that they wondered where all the firemen were and why they were not on the job at the first sound of the alarm and why they were so long in getting to the fire, and several remarks that were insulting. For the benefit of those gentlemen I will state that the fire department is composed of a few members who are doing the best they can for the welfare of our city and no matter what time of day or night they stand ready to do their best in coping with the different problems of extinguishing fires as best they can notwithstanding the fact that the members of the department reside in different parts of the city and receive but three dollars a month for their services. One man only in the department is stationed at the engine house all of the time. Lack of an automatic alarm system, not having a fire plug at the corner of each block, no aerial ladder truck, and many other things which would be a benefit in making the department more efficient in its work.

The auto apparatus, the powerful engines, the automatic aerial truck, and the methods of handling fires in paid departments is as far ahead of the old days as the automatic alarm is ahead of the ancient method of crying "Fire!" to arouse the citizens. Strange as it may seem the fire losses of our country have not decreased, in fact some times we think they have increased at a greater rate than we have advanced the art of protection. It therefore becomes necessary to look to other means of keeping our cities from burning up and the fire prevention movement was started. This you will find has been the situation where prevention has been advocated. In Portland, Oregon in 1901 to 1914 the fire fighting force was increased and trained, the water mains were increased in size and extended, the horse drawn rigs were replaced with the latest and improved motor driven apparatus and yet they saw the fire losses grow in spite of the increased efficiency. During the year of 1914 they had so many fires happening on Sunday that there were many jokes made about it. Fire fans refused to leave town on Sunday because they did not want to miss the big fires. A little boy is said to have asked his father if he might go to the fire next Sunday and received this reply: "No, son, I am going next Sunday. You can go Sunday after next." This will give you an idea of the situation. Then they began to look about for a remedy, and the records of Portland will prove that they have found an effective one in fire prevention. Our department has been organized for a good many years, old members dropping out one at a time and others taking their places, all eager to do their duty whenever called day or night, rain or shine, regardless of compensation for their services. It has been our aim to render our services to aid in the preservation of life and property in our city and in adjacent towns as well. The equipment does not belong to the members of the department but is the property of all the citizens of our city and it is as much up to them as it is to any member of the fire department to aid in the prevention of fire whenever it is in their power to best they can notwithstanding the fact that the members of the department reside in different parts of the city and receive but three dollars a month for their services. One man only in the department is stationed at the engine house all of the time. Lack of an automatic alarm system, not having a fire plug at the corner of each block, no aerial ladder truck, and many other things which would be a benefit in making the department more efficient in its work. We appreciate the help of the citizens in case of a large fire in the business district and will welcome your assistance, but would advise those who can find nothing better to do than to stand around and make insulting remarks to remain at home in their warm beds. There is an ordinance which will be printed in this paper later covering the burning of rubbish and accumulations of kindling, papers, etc., in the city. Look for it, but before it is too late make a thorough investigation, and I think I am safe in saying that enough cash could be derived from the sale of waste paper to pay the salary of the fire department for one month. Do not wait until something happens. Clean them up before a fire cleans them up for you. Your for the prevention of fires. B. L. GOODRICH, Fire Chief.

He was reported by the vigilance committee, and was called before the board for an explanation. In statements to the board Chamberlain said he thought the United States was justified and should have entered the war before it did, but he himself should not and could not take any part in it; that the kaiser was the prince of devils and should be killed; that it was right the American soldiers should sacrifice their lives, but that he did not think that he himself should take any part in it.

I will suggest a few ways in which you can help. Just take a few minutes of your time right now, go right out in the rear of your place of business, or if you are at home, go out to the garage, back yard, or to the attic, and cellar, and if necessary, look over in your neighbor's back yard and see if it is advisable to help in the prevention of fires by taking a little time to clean up those papers, olly rags you last cleaned the machine with. See if the last time your rubbish was burned, did you burn it in a container or was it thrown out in a pile loose, and what did not burn was allowed to blow over into your neighbor's yard or into some vacant lot or up against some bill board with plenty of posters dangling loose around the ground, which would make a splendid fire. See if when you unpacked that last lot of goods at the store, did you leave the excelsior in the boxes and stack them one on top of the other up against the fence or did they go down in the basement? Go look. In all probability the merchant next door carries fire insurance but nevertheless he as a rule does not welcome a fire on short notice. If you are a garage owner, don't hang a sign on the front window "No Smoking" and when you take your car in to have it looked over you see three or four buckets and wash tubs In statements to the board Chamberlain said he thought the United States was justified and should have entered the war before it did, but he himself should not and could not take any part in it; that the kaiser was the prince of devils and should be killed; that it was right the American soldiers should sacrifice their lives, but that he did not think that he himself should take any part in it. He said his conscience dictated that he be neutral in this war, so as to be on Christ's side at the end of the war. Asked if he had bought bonds or war stamps, or had contributed to the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. or other war activities, he stated that he had not; that he would not give money to the government with which to buy ammunition to kill. He said that he was spending all the money he could spare in preparing this world for the coming of Christ, as it is more important. Chamberlain is a member of the International Bible Students' association, the society which is now accused of attempting to hamper the government in its conduct of the war. He was in Anaheim some time ago distributing literature which is being scattered broadcast by the association. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS The following transfers of real estate were recorded last week: J. S. Howard, commissioner, to S. Hayden—South half of southwest quarter of northwest quarter of section 9-4-10. S. Hayden et ux to Cathryn Carline et conj—Same. Therese Guenther et conj to city of Anaheim—part of lot 1, block 1, Resh's subdivision. Anaheim Land Syndicate to C. Henry Frost et ux—Lot 2, block 5, Golden State tract. LOCAL NOTES OF CURRENT EVENTS Information has filtered through by underground wire that a big barbecue had been held recently out Stanton way which had been attended by many notables, some coming from as far away as Los Angeles and Seal Beach. Reports have it that a way up time was enjoyed by all, and during the day speeches were made. Among those making addresses was a well known land owner in that immediate section, who it is said, gave it out to be a fact that a big tract of his land to the southwest was going to be traded for this city's realty holdings in the city of Stanton. When this important piece of news reached the ears of some of the employees at the city hall, they all sat up and took notice. It was the first inkling they had received of the contemplated change in ownership of these tracts. Some of them gave the rumors credence, while others said it was impossible because the Stanton property had been purchased with money voted at a bond issue for purposes of a sewerage farm, but the accomplishment of that venture there ran up against a snag when the people of Stanton hustled and incorporated to forestall the move. The sewer farm as presently located has been the cause of much trouble and it would appear that the end is not yet. Who got up the barbecue with trimmings has not been learned, but from all accounts it was a huge success. Some of the city hall attaches are diligently holding their ears to the ground waiting for some more information to bob to pay $10 per month rental. Trustee McFadden, said, so far as he was concerned, that would be all right and that he would bring the matter up before the council. Street rumors were afloat Friday evening that the employees at the power plant were going out on a strike, as it was said some of the boys believe they should receive more pay. The report had it that men in the street department also were thinking of going out, and even the head of another department said he felt likewise. Up to the hour of going to press however there has been no walkout, but from all reports a number of city employees are dissatisfied with the contents of their pay envelopes. The report was current that the men had out a petition for signatures, asking that the salary schedule be raised, and that the petition would be presented to the council this evening. The other evening when Attorney Ames was instructed by the ordinance committee to drafe an emergency salary ordinance, the councilmen who were convened in special session to receive the bond of Marshal Wood, called a halt in their proceedings to allow the city attorney time to prepare that document. That urban gentleman looked about the room for a typewriter but failed to locate one in the clerk's quarters, but espied one in the room of the engineer. He asked Trustee McFadden if he could operate a typewriter, but received a negative reply, and then all hands said Trustee Gibbs was an expert on the keys. Forthwith the attorney requisitioned his services, and repairing to the adjoining room the legal document was soon forthcoming, the attorney dictating the legal phraseology and they are chiefly valuable for their mineral salts, analysis showing that tomatoes contain the salts of iron, lime and phosphorus. Besides, tomatoes lend bulk to the food ingested, and that alds digestion and stimulates intestinal activity. POTATO CAMPAIGN NOW IN FULL SWING Women's County Food Conservation Committee Makes Suggestions The following suggestions for the potato campaign, now on, for Orange county, and to continue until June first, are offered by the Women's county food conservation committee: That the grocery men and others selling potatoes handle the Orange county grown product as far as possible. That the housewife ask for Orange county potatoes when making her purchase. That the hotels, cafes, cafeterias and other eating places serve potatoes abundantly and economize on bread. That the grocerymen arrange attractive window displays of potatoes. That the business men, chambers of commerce, M. & M. associations and others cooperate in putting Orange county over the top in the consumption of potatoes. That all women's organizations At the recent special meeting of the city trustees, when ex-Marshal Kellenberger presented a demand for $100 for attorney's fees, in his Kern damage suit, the question arose whether or not the city attorney should have defended him in that action. Attorney Ames stated that since this city is governed under provisions of cities of the sixth class, it was not obligatory upon the attorney to appear in court in behalf of any city officer in a civil action. However, in cities of the fifth class the city attorney is so obligated. This point was casually discussed by several members of the board, and Trustee McFadden, in a jocular manner asked "why not raise our standard," but at no time was it made the subject of serious consideration, or that the members had any desire at this time to change the form of government of this city as at present constituted. Attorney Ames advised the board that the Kellenberger demand was not a valid claim against the city, but inasmuch as the officer was in the discharge of his duties as city marshal, when the arrest was made, a majority of the trustees voted in favor of allowing the demand for attorney's fees. Upon the third trial of the case the action against the marshal for damages was dismissed. A few days later, after giving the subject further thought, Mr. McFadden, who believes it would be better were this city raised into the fifth class, interviewed Prof. Prince, of the high school faculty, and suggested that a debate between students upon the subject of a freeholder's charter would be opportune and very interesting and instructive at this time. Prof. Prince looked upon the suggestion with favor and said he would arrange to have the subject given attention during this semester, but he did not believe a debate could be arranged for until next year. Before a city can enter the fifth class it must have a population of 6000. This matter has been discussed of that venture there ran up against a snag when the people of Stanton hustled and incorporated to forestall the move. The sewer farm as presently located has been the cause of much trouble and it would appear that the end is not yet. Who got up the barbecue with trimmings has not been learned, but from all accounts it was a huge success. Some of the city hall attaches are diligently holding their ears to the ground waiting for some more information to bob up serenely from below. While Herman Stern was walking down Center street the other evening, and observed the downtown district lined with autos on both sides of the streets, he remarked, "just look at these crowded streets, see all the people, and still we have no home guard here. But you just wait—we are going to have a guard here." Many towns with not half the population have well drilled homeguards. They are a credit to any community. There may not ever be any need for them from a fighting military viewpoint, but the maintenance of a home guard from a patriotic impulse would go a long way in keeping the home fires burning. At noon the town bell tolls for a few brief seconds to remind the populace to pause and think of the brave lads across the seas, and by all means we should have a home guard. Whenever Capt. Stern starts out to land a public enterprise he generally accomplishes his purpose. All right, Captain, let's go. A well known citizen would like to see the city rid of all surplus cats and dogs which have no rightful ownership. In many instances they are a nuisance and should be exterminated. There is nothing that disturbs one's peaceful slumbers more than midnight duets participated in by two pugnacious tom-cats. Their cadence is nerve racking and everlasting. And besides at times the feline quadrups make raids on young chickens which is criminal, and should be prevented as far as possible. The staking of horses upon vacant lots is also complained of, as in many cases the animals break loose and go tramping around over war gardens and lawns and do much damage. It has been charged that horses have been lightly staked out near a well grown patch of county potatoes when making her purchase. That the hotels, cafes, cafeterias and other eating places serve potatoes abundantly and economize on bread. That the grocerymen arrange attractive window displays of potatoes. That the business men, chambers of commerce, M. & M. associations and others cooperate in putting Orange county over the top in the consumption of potatoes. That all women's organizations mention the potato campaign at their meetings and have talks on the origin, history, and food value of the potato. That potato recipes are to be had at the libraries and the local Red Cross shops. That there are forty-nine ways of serving potatoes. That there are 30,000,000 bushels of potatoes that should be consumed by June first, thereby saving wheat and other foods desired for export. That at a time when the world is so in need of food it would be criminal to waste anything so important as the potato. It becomes the duty of Americans to eat up their potatoes. MORE LIBERTY BOYS CALLED TO THE COLORS Huge Appropriation of Money Asked by War Department The greatest draft call of the war—233,742 men—was sent out by Provost Marshal Crowder Friday. This mobilization was ordered between May 15 and 30. This call brings May's total up to 305,577 men. A special call for 12,000 skilled mechanics was also issued. Mobilization orders for 6000 more artisans from every state in the Union were telegraphed. Meantime, Secretary of War Baker, Chief of Staff March, and other army officers, appeared before the House Military committee, to explain details of the vast army appropriation set for the next fiscal year. Of the gigantic $15,000,000 appropriation estimate compiled, $11,-000,000,000 is set aside for the quartermaster corps and ordnance. More than a billion will go for the building of railroads and training camp facilities in France. Proposed aircraft construction will call for approximately $1,500,000,000. Officials disclosed that it is planned to increase the present camp capacities fully 40 per cent by extension at United high school faculty, and suggested that a debate between students upon the subject of a freeholder's charter would be opportune and very interesting and instructive at this time. Prof. Prince looked upon the suggestion with favor and said he would arrange to have the subject given attention during this semester, but he did not believe a debate could be arranged for until next year. Before a city can enter the fifth class it must have a population of 6000. This matter has been discussed by citizens in the past few years and it is not at all improbable that the subject of raising the city's standard will be more fully discussed in the near future. Ralph McFadden, recently elected a member of the board of trustees, is of a practical turn of mind, and improves each shining hour at every turn in the road. The other evening he started the ball rolling with the end in view that the vacant space in the rear of the power plant on South Los Angeles street, be put under cultivation. He wanted to see the place seeded to alfalfa and when ready to be used as pasturage for the city teams. That was a fine idea and the horses no doubt would have liked it for they would be in clover. Ralph likes to see things moving, speaks right out in meeting and has an eye out for the best interests of all concerned. But just at this stage of the program, E. R. Werdin, manager of the L. A. Paving Company, paid Trustee McFadden a visit and said he was willing to pay a rental for use of the tract for storage of his paving equipment. Some time ago the paving company was given permission to use the lot and put in some pavement there for road purposes in order to get in and out more conveniently. Mr. Werdin was deserious of retaining the lot and agreed An interesting sight was witnessed at the movies the other evening when Alaskan scenes were thrown on the canvas. Many people hereabout think of Alaska as being only a land of snow and sleet and low temperatures, but that illusory was dispelled when one scene showed a man at Dawson wetting down his vegetable patch with a garden hose. FOOD VALUE OF TOMATOES The question as to the food value of tomatoes has been asked by one who claims that they contain fully 95 per cent water in their composition. This percentage of water content is about correct. Tomatoes, in common with other succulent vegetables and fruit, do not contain a large amount of substantial nutriment.

"SCOTTY" ON DUTY IN SAN FRANCISCO BAY Anaheim Boy May Break Into Officers' Class The following letter, dated San Francisco, has been received at this office from Clark Scott, who enlisted in the navy some months ago: Editor Gazette: I am in receipt of the Gazette, for which I wish to thank you very much. It is the first real news I have received since my arrival in San Francisco. I am in the naval port guard doing patrol duty in the bay. I am trying to get in the officers' class, and think I will get the appointment. Yours truly, CLARK W. SCOTT.

It contains 23.21 per cent protein, a larger per cent than is contained in average beef. Other constituents of whale meat are: water, 71.22 per cent; ash, 1.02; undetermined substances, .21 per cent. The experts say that whale meat is as easily digested as beef and, like other meats is more readily digested than eggs. "Wheat is needed in the front line trench over there.
