ADVOCATE USE OF SUBSTITUTE FOR MEAT WORKERS GOING INTO EVERY STATE TO BOOST MANUFACTURE OF COTTAGE CHEESE CONTAINS THE SAME PERCENT-AGE OF NUTRIMENT AS BEEF, ACCORDING TO ANALYSIS To encourage the use, as well as the making of cottage cheese—a cheap and palatable substitute for meat—the United States department of agriculture has launched a campaign in which nearly a hundred field workers will take part and which is to carry to every state in the Union this lesson: Cottage cheese is made from skim milk—now largely wasted or fed to animals. A pound of cottage cheese has the same food value as a pound of meat. Make cottage cheese and thus put into valuable use wasted skim milk. Eat cottage cheese; save the meat for our soldiers and the allies. Three of the big divisions of the department of agriculture, are working in the campaign, which also has the cooperation of the United States food administration. The bureau of animal industry, through its dairy division, is sending 47 women, dairy agents, to as many GAS RATE ENQUIRY COMPLETED SATURDAY Railroad Commission Will Hand Down Decision Within Two Months As a result of hearings concluded in Los Angeles Saturday, a decision as to whether the Southern Counties Gas company shall be permitted to increase the gas rates in nearly every city in Los Angeles and Orange counties outside of Los Angeles city will be handed down in less than two months, according to Max Thelen, member of the state railroad commission. Commissioner Thelen and Commissioner H. D. Loveland have been conducting the hearings for the last ten days, gathering evidence which affects about fifty cities in Southern California. Hearings were held in Santa Monica and Long Beach more than a week ago. On Friday a hearing was held at Santa Ana, and Saturday the final hearing was held in Los Angeles. The board of public utilities and the city attorney of Los Angeles have been interested in the hearings because the gas rates of the harbor district are affected. The company supplies San Pedro and Wilmington from the same plant that supplies Long Beach and Seal Beach. Aside from the harbor district, the company supplies no gas in Los Angeles city. Hundreds of pages of statistical data have been introduced at the various hearings. Nearly every city has contested the proposed increase in rates. The commissioners have gone into the questions of costs and investments thoroughly, and the facts presented will be analyzed before a decision is rendered. The company is asking the commission to fix a uniform minimum ORANGE COUNTY Placentia Cannery The Placentia canopy now under way with many alterations we building, except that we sufficiently enlist other truck.

Make cottage cheese and thus put into valuable use wasted skim milk. Eat cottage cheese; save the meat for our soldiers and the allies. Three of the big divisions of the department of agriculture are working in the campaign, which also has the cooperation of the United States food administration. The bureau of animal industry, through its dairy division, is sending 47 women, dairy agents, to as many states to stimulate the making of cottage cheese on farms and also to cooperate with urban demonstration agents in encouraging the use of cottage cheese on city tables. The states relations service has sent a party of women home demonstration agents to various cities to demonstrate many new and attractive cottage cheese dishes originated in Uncle Sam's food laboratories in Washington. From Cleveland the home demonstration workers will go separately to the other cities and towns to repeat their work. The bureau of markets, meanwhile, is sending agents to the cities visited by the home demonstration campaign. The market men are getting in touch with wholesale and retail distributors of cottage cheese. Twenty two men also are sent out by the dairy division to encourage the production and improve the quality of cottage cheese produced in creameries and milk plants. The trouble about cottage cheese, according to officials of the department, has been that housewives somehow have got the impression that it is merely a relish or the material for a salad, and not what it is—a real staple food. One big object of the campaign is to dispel this impression—to convince housewives that cottage cheese is not merely suitable for a sandwich filling, but is a palatable and nutritious food that can be made to serve as the basis of sustenance for even hard outdoor workers. Furthermore, cottage cheese can be served in many other ways besides the white paste form with which most people are familiar. To prove this, a luncheon was given recently in the department of agriculture at Washington, and those who attended were literally astounded by the variety of new and unexpected ways in which cottage cheese was served. "From soup to nuts," cottage cheese was prominently on the menu. There were cottage cheese soup, cottage cheese sausage, cottage cheese salad, cottage cheese tarts, honey CAN CONTROL PESTS WITH SULPHUR SPRAY Is Very Effective in Killing Red Spider And Brown Mites Butte and Sutter county ranchers using atomic sulphur spray for red spider on mature apricot, prune, and pear trees last June and July complained to the manufacturers that it was not doing the work. W. C. Mills, Jr., was sent to locate the trouble. He found that two and a half gallons of spray per tree was too little; that the spray must cover under surfaces of leaves; that fumes cannot be depended on to kill mature spiders, but they must be actually touched by the spray, even though the temperature was near 100 degrees. He found that when the top of the tree is sprayed first the undersides of the leaves are seldom well treated; but that when the spray was applied from the bottom of the tree upward, and then from the top downward, using three and a half to four gallons of spray per tree, at a pressure of 180 to 200 pounds, the foliage was well covered and the red spider was well controlled, while unsprayed trees were completely defoliated very soon. Two months later the defoliated trees were leafed out green, but the fruit buds for 1918 were gone. "Red spider cannot be cleaned up after trees are badly infested," says Mr. Mills, but they can be prevented by spraying before they develop very much, and by periodic spraying every seven days during the danger period. That is cheaper than to care for the orchard in other ways and lose the crop for lack of spray." Brown almond mites are never bad on apricots and peaches in the Winwith large promises.

"From soup to nuts," cottage cheese was prominently on the menu. There were cottage cheese soup, cottage cheese sausage, cottage cheese salad, cottage cheese tarts, honey whey and whey punch. Recelipes for the making of these and other dishes are to be made available by the home-demonstrators to every housewife who desires them. There is even a cottage cheese song. It is not made from cottage cheese, but it celebrates its virtues. The 47 women, who are going to 47 states, sang it at the cottage cheese luncheon. One stanza runs this way: If a body see a body making cottage cheese, Try it, eat it, talk it, preach it, boost it, if you please. We are out to save skim milk and make it into cheese. Let Uncle Sammie have the meat—and send it o'er the seas. THAT LONG RANGE GUN Karl Rosner, the kaiser's favorite war correspondent, writing in the Local Anzeiger, says: "The famous long range gun does not look like a gun. It is more like a gigantic gray crane." "Suddenly it awakes with a violent disturbance, shaking the very tree trunks." "Then a black thread is visible cutting the sky—a traveling calamity that can traverse the 78 miles to Paris in three minutes." "The second-hand on your watch has completed its third circuit. The calamity has landed in Paris." ORANGE COUNTY NOTES Placentia Cannery:— The Placentia cannery will look like a new establishment when the work now under way is completed. Not many alterations will be made to the building, except that the garage will be sufficiently enlarged to take in another truck. But nearly all of the old equipment is being discarded and will be replaced with new. Two new capping machines will be installed, new copper kettles, and a new 40-foot peeling table with all the sanitary and labor saving attachments. As refitted, the plant will be able to handle 30 tons of tomatoes a day, and the management expects to run to capacity. Nearly all the necessary acreage has been contracted, only about 70 more being needed. Only tomatoes will be handled this season. Pays Film Company Debt:— An aftermath of the stay of the Continental Feature Film company at Orange came into the superior court when judgment upon a note for $400 was given to the National bank of Orange against G. A. W. Faust of Santa Ana. The Continental got into Orange with large promises of film opportunities. Encouragement was given by the business men. Later it developed that the Continental, was operating upon a thin ice basis. In the meantime, however, a film was produced, Orange county people appearing as the actors and actresses. It was a creditable production, so far as merit was concerned, but it did not get far in the film world. The Continental faded from view. Among the left overs was a note Blackford from the department of justice at Washington. The communication states that the registering of German female allens will be done under the proclamation of the president which is dated April 19, 1918. His authority is extended under regulations 19 and 20 from November 16, 1917. The plan of the registration of women, who were estimated to be about the same in number as the German alien males, will be substantially that followed in the registration of the men some weeks ago. As before, the postmaster will have charge of the work, and the department of justice will furnish all the necessary cards, affidavits and other forms and issue instructions for the work. From the tone of the letter sent to the postmaster it is evident that the department wishes the registration of German alien women to start at once, and he will be instructed to proceed at an early date. Orange County Officers:— Five Orange county soldiers are now eligible for commissions as second lieutenants in the Liberty army as a result of their successful passing of all examinations and graduating from the Third Reserve Officers training camp at Camp Lewis, American Lake, Washington. The Orange county men graduating from the camp are: William A. Smart, 714 North Main street, Santa Ana. Ross A. Shafer, Tustin. Clark E. Baker, 407 East Walnut, Santa Ana. Charles R. McClain, Santa Ana, R. D. 6. Jesse A. Crawshaw, Orange. The class was graduated on April 20 but the names of the graduates were not made public until Monday. They will in all probability continue wagon load of beans from the Farmers' Warehouse Co. near Huntington Beach. These beans were sold in Los Angeles, and a team and wagon taken from the Plavan ranch by McKee as a means of transporting the beans were recovered. It developed that fifteen years ago McKee was given probation upon a forgery charge. So far as could be learned he served out his probation period satisfactorily. It was stated that for some months federal authorities have been looking for him for a transaction in connection with a post office in the San Joaquin valley. He said that he had also had trouble at Bakersfield over a check, but his father straightened that matter out for him. His parents live at Redondo Beach. MINING MAP OF INYO COUNTY State Mineralogist Fletcher Hamilton announces the publication by the state mining bureau of a topographical and geological map of Inyo county which shows in detail the location of ore deposits, geological structure of the county towns, post offices, springs wells, railroads, wagon roads and trails. The section of the state under consideration is one of the most interesting geographically, as well as from a mining standpoint, of any similar area in the west. Inyo county contains 10,019 square miles, and the estimated population is 7500—less than one inhabitant to a square mile of territory; it is noted because of the fact that within its borders are located both the highest and the lowest points in the United States. The former, Mt. Whitney, has an elevation of 14,501 feet above sea level, and almost within with large promises of film opportunities. Encouragement was given by the business men. Later it developed that the Continental, was operating upon a thin ice basis. In the meantime, however, a film was produced, Orange county people appearing as the actors and actresses. It was a creditable production, so far as merit was concerned, but it did not get far in the film world. The Continental faded from view. Among the left overs was a note given at the bank by the Continental with Mr. and Mrs. Faust as sureties. Mrs. Faust was one of those appearing in the film. Judgment was entered against Mr. and Mrs. Faust. Will Contest Filed:— June 11 has been set as the date for the hearing of the contest over the will of Robert Mears, who died at Fullerton over a year ago. The first will filed for probate was presented by Mrs. Lenna N. Kimber of Fullerton, a daughter of the deceased. Under that will the estate, valued at $12,500, two thirds of the estate would go to Mrs. Kimber, and the remainder to others close to her by kinship. None of the estate would go to the widow, Mrs. Martha Mears, who for four years previous to the death of Mears was living with a daughter at LaRue, Ohio. The contest of the will is entered by Attorney S. M. Davis for Mrs. Mears. A will written on October 27, 1916, by which at least a third of the estate would go to the daughter who had been taking care of Mrs. Mears. The contestant alleges that the will presented by Mrs. Kimber, who is represented by Attorney C. R. Allen, was made while Mears was not of sound mind and while under the undue influence of his daughter, Mrs. Kimber. She Saved the Beans:— There can be no doubt in the mind of any person who Thursday heard the testimony of Mrs. Katie Mastich, who lives upon a bean ranch lease near the San Joquin Fruit Co. ranch, as to whether or not Mrs. Mastich is satisfied that Redman was deliberately stealing beans from the garage at her home. Upon her testimony alone Justice Cox held Redman to answer. She told the story of her experience with Redman. She was taking a bath when someone knocked upon the front door of the house. She did not respond, and evidently the visitors thought there was no one at home. She was taken a bath when someone knocked upon the front door of the house.

The class was graduated on April 20 but the names of the graduates were not made public until Monday. They will in all probability continue in the service at their former rating, and will be made second lieutenants as vacancies occur. Unpopular Foreman Swatted:— Paul Schoedel, foreman of Cornello Echenique's ranch at San Juan Capistrano, is in the Santa Ana hospital with a fractured skull, and Pedro Lavin, who was employed at the ranch, is in the county jail, being held as his assailant. According to information gathered by Deputy Sheriff Cravath and Constable Heard, Schoedel was not liked by several men over whom he was foreman. The exact reason why Lavin should have attacked Schoedel has not been uncovered. Schoedel was struck over the head with some kind of heavy instrument. Lavin has been riding a horse, and to the saddle was attached a leather case containing a wrench and one or two other articles. Schoedel does not know who hit him. He is blind in one eye, and whoever struck him as he was at work in a corral struck him from his blind side. He never knew what hit him, and doesn't know yet, though he is satisfied that it was the leather case that is ordinarily attached to the saddle used by Lavin. Schoedel was unconscious for a time, but recovered his senses soon after he was hurt. At first it was not thought that his injuries were of any consequence. Echenique told the officers that he accused Lavin of having struck the foreman, and Lavin replied that if he hadn't finished him he would give him another. Two men working on the place are said to have seen the attack, but their sympathies seem to be so strongly with Lavin that they would have nothing to say, quit work and left. Schoedel is a Basque. Lavin is a native of Spain, aged 28. A few hours after Schoedel was struck, he appeared to be worse than was at first supposed. A physician was called and it was found that there was sideration is one of the most interesting geographically, as well as from a mining standpoint, of any similar area in the west. Inyo county contains 10,019 square miles, and the estimated population is 7500—less than one inhabitant to a square mile of territory; it is noted because of the fact that within its borders are located both the highest and the lowest points in the United States. The former, Mt. Whitney, has an elevation of 14,501 feet above sea level, and almost within sight of this mountain is a point in Death Valley which is 280 feet below sea level. This sparsely settled and rugged district produced last year mineral substances to the value of approximately $5,000,000. A large proportion of the borax production of the entire United States comes from Inyo county; its mountains produce gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and other metals, and from its old lake beds are derived salt, niter and similar substances. The map mentioned has been lithographed in 17 colors, and is offered for sale at the price of 60c, which merely covers the cost of printing. A report describing in detail the mineral resources of this county has also been recently published by the bureau and both map and report may be obtained for $1.25. Any one interested in obtaining a copy of this map or report will receive immediate attention by communicating with the state mineralologist, Ferry Bldg., San Francisco, or by addressing the state mining bureau at the following branch offices: 512 Union League Bldg., Los Angeles, Santa Paula, Santa Maria, Taft, Bakersfield, and Coalinga. WAR PRISONERS MUST WORK Included in war department regulations regarding the employment of prisoners of war and interned enemy aliens are the following statements: All classes of prisoners, except commissioned officers and such others as are physically not fit for labor, will be required to perform work necessary for their comfort or for the upkeep of their prison barracks. Interned enemy aliens will not be held for compulsory labor except as provided in this paragraph. Prisoners of war, except officers, warrant, petty, and noncommissioned officers may be required to work for the public service—they may be authorized to work on their own account. who lives upon a bean ranch near the San Joaquin Fruit Co. ranch, as to whether or not Mrs. Mastich is satisfied that Redman was deliberately stealing beans from the garage at her home. Upon her testimony alone Justice Cox held Redman to answer. She told the story of her experience with Redman. She was taking a bath when someone knocked upon the front door of the house. She did not respond, and evidently the visitors thought there was no one at home. She heard the door of the garage being broken off. She hastily dressed, got a 22 calibre rifle, and went forth to do battle and save the beans. Redman's companion disappeared. She says that Redman pleaded with her to be allowed to go free. He said he had just had an operation, and was sick and had to steal. She made him put the beans back in the garage, and then let him go, after she had taken the number of the automobile. The number she gave showed the machine to be registered in Redman's name. Mrs. Mastich went to Long Beach with Deputy Sheriff Cravath, and immediately identified Redman and the auto. Redman seems to have a good many friends who do not believe he intended to steal the beans. The contention of the defense is that the man who was with Redman and whose name Redman gives as George Olsten, told Redman that the beans belonged to Olsten. Redman says he bought them from Olsten and was loading them to take away when the woman appeared. Justice Cox ordered Redman held to answer to the superior court and bail was fixed at $1000. Registering Allen Women:— That the work of registering German allen women will shortly be undertaken in Fullerton is shown by the letter received by Postmaster M. Ask Damages of Gun Club:— H. S. Hazeltine has brought suit for $3500 damages against the Algonquin Gun Club upon the ground that water diversion by the gun club ruined sixty acres of land for a crop in 1917. The complaint, filed by Attorney H. C. Head and J. C. Burke, alleges that the gun club last September dammed up a drainage ditch of the Westminster district, in order to get water from the ditch over into the duck ponds of the gun club. This raised the water level under Hazeltine's land and caused a flow over upon his land, with the result that the land was rendered unfit for a crop and was damaged severely by alkali brought upon the land by the water. Bean Thief Sentenced:— Harry McKee's record faced him Friday morning, and because he had a record that did not look good to those who were considering his plea for probation, Judge West sentenced him to San Quentin for a term of from one fifteen years, and the judge recommended to the prison authorities that McKee made to serve at least five years of the term. McKee pleaded guilty to stealing a commissioned officers and such others as are physically not fit for labor, will be required to perform work necessary for their comfort or for the upkeep of their prison barracks. Interned enemy allens will not be held for compulsory labor except as provided in this paragraph. Prisoners of war, except officers, warrant, petty, and noncommissioned officers, may be required to work for the public service—they may be authorized to work on their own account. Under exceptional circumstances, when specially authorized by the secretary of war, they may, upon their written request, be authorized to work for private persons or for corporations. Petty and noncommissioned officers may be authorized to work on their own account—and upon their written request, may be authorized to work in the same manner as other prisoners of war, except that they will be employed in a supervisory capacity only. An order for labor will be regarded as a military command, and prisoners falling to obey such order will be punished accordingly. When employed on work that is necessary for their comfort, or for the upkeep of the prison barracks in which they are interned, prisoners will receive no compensation. When the work is done for the government prisoners will be paid at a rate according to the work executed; when the work is for other branches of the public service or for private persons, the conditions of and the compensation for such work will be settled in agreement between representatives of said branches or persons and the adjutant general of the army. The wages of the prisoners shall go toward improving their position, and the balance shall be paid them on their release, after deducting the cost of their maintenance.

ORANGES BY WATER When the Panama canal was in contemplation and while it was being built, those who predicted great changes to be made in the Pacific coast by it were often overly zealous in their declarations as to what the Panama canal would do for the California citrus grower. At least, the after history of transportation failed to show that the Panama canal was any tremendous use to the citrus grower, says the Register. The chief objection to the use of the canal has been the matter of speed. Our experiences in handling oranges and lemons long since taught us that the sooner the fruit is put on the market after it leaves the packing house the better it is for both the shipper and the buyer. Another big factor in the preference of the citrus men for railroad transportation comes in the possibility of changing the destination of a car after it reaches the East. A car of oranges may be sent From Tustin, Orange or any one of the many shipping points in Orange county, and its destination will not be fixed until it is well across the confluence are that the citrus fruit crop next season will be one of the state's greatest. Trees are in excellent condition, and blooming has been heavy. It is a hardy prophet, however, who will make definite prediction this early in the season. More, it is a hardy prophet who will predict the direction of travel of our Pacific made steamships. These are not days for fulfillment of prophecy, so we can only express a wish, and that is that the world's traffic may be so arranged that shipments may be made by way of the canal. This matter will rest, however, entirely with the board at Washington where only world necessities are considered. It may be noted that Southern California had hoped to send the first of the completed vessels of the now building Liberty fleet, direct to France and Belgium, with a free will offering of the entire ship load to the hungry kiddies of those two countries. The shipping board has not as yet seen its way to give permission for such use of the vessels, but America is building vessels as never before, and perhaps by time the next crop of oranges is ripe our carrying capacity may be in- mitters and such others may not fit for labor, but perform work necfort or for the upward barracks.

When for the government paid at a rate ocwork executed; when other branches of the for private persons, and the compensation will be settled in representatives of persons and the addictive army. The prisoners shall go their position, and be paid them on deducting the cost price. The sooner the fruit is put on the market after it leaves the packing house the better it is for both the shipper and the buyer. Another big factor in the preference of the citrus men for railroad transportation comes in the possibility of changing the destination of a car after it reaches the East. A car of oranges may be sent From Tustin, Orange or any one of the many shipping points in Orange county, and its destination will not be fixed until it is well across the continent. Conditions of markets are reported daily and the law of supply and demand, while having a tremendous effect upon prices of all commodities, also has a big effect upon destinations of oranges and lemons. One of the big factors in the success of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange has come through its ability to distribute shipments to points where the chances of getting the best prices are the greatest. While the Panama Canal has been open for some years as a route for the shipment of citrus fruits it never became popular. Railroad transportation has had too many radical advantages for the citrus grower. Still conditions have now arisen that are bringing citrus growers back to a study of water transportation. There is a possibility that the Panama Canal will be heralded as a means of relief, should railroad tie-ups prevent the adequate handling of the citrus crops during the remainder of the war. At least, the situation has called for editorial discussion in the California Cultivator, which has the following: "A subscriber and orange grower asks of the Cultivator as to the probability of some of the ships now building on the Pacific coast being commissioned to carry California citrus fruits and other products to Atlantic coast consumers. Present noted that Southern California had hoped to send the first of the completed vessels of the now building Liberty fleet, direct to France and Belgium, with a free will offering of the entire ship load to the hungry kiddies of those two countries. The shipping board has not as yet seen its way to give permission for such use of the vessels, but America is building vessels as never before, and perhaps by the time the next crop of oranges is ripe our carrying capacity may be increased so rail transportation may be relieved of some of its burden." Rudolph Fossek has invested in a new auto, and now may be seen burning up the pavement with the best of them. For years Mr. Fossek was head of the street sprinkling department and pulled a steady rein over the backs of two big mules, who knew their routes by heart, so long had they traversed up and down the dusty highways. But time changes and Mr. Fossek resigned his position and sold the mules, taking a man's note for $200 for one of them, and giving him the other, for nothing, because it was sick. Twenty five dollars of the price remains yet unpaid and he believes it is lost, for the man has left the country and put the mules in pasture near Artesia where they have almost eaten their heads off and are both sick and poor besides. Fossek saw them the other day and after taking one glimpse of his old standby he concluded, he was ahead of the game with $175 in his jeans, and will kiss the twenty five good bye. Mr. Fossek believes in enjoying the evening side of life and will go motoring whenever his fancy*dictates. He also raises his own vegetables and has a patch of black radish, which he says is the most healthful vegetable growing.
