Alleging that William Francis Ireland, secretary chairman of the wholesale and retail bakers' associations for Southern California, slandered him by calling him a "typical example of a regular I. W. W." S. E. McPherson, a merchant of Orange, has brought suit against Ireland for $50,000. McPherson declares that the remarks concerning him were made at a meeting of flour brokers in Los Angeles, to whom Ireland suggested that it would be advisable for them not to sell flour to bakers who do belong to the associations and who do not maintain the prices set by the associations. Ireland, for a time, was assistant federal food administrator for California. Last December he held meetings here of business men dealing with food products He is a Los Angeles attorney.

In connection with all such returns filed after June 1st, liability for the specific penalty provided in the law will be asserted.

Payments of less than $800.00 made during the year need not be reported. The penalty provided in the law for failure to make this return, is not less than $200.00, nor more than $2,000.

The City of Anaheim sage of this ordance to be public heim Gassette recitation, printed in aid city. a meeting of flour brokers in Los Angeles, to whom Ireland suggested that it would be advisable for them not to sell flour to bakers who do belong to the associations and who do not maintain the prices set by the associations. Ireland, for a time, was assistant federal food administrator for California. Last December he held meetings here of business men dealing with food products He is a Los Angeles attorney. The alleged slander was not committed by Ireland in his connection with the food administration, however, but in his capacity as secretary-chairman of the Southern California Wholesale Bakers' Association and of the Southern California Retail Bakers' Association. The complaint, filed by Attorney F. C. Drumm, of Orange, outlines its case for damages as follows: Last January Ireland at Santa Ana addressed a meeting of the bakers of Orange county, and there told them that the purpose of the associations he represented was to fix and maintain a standard price for bread and other bakery products. He said that if the bakers went too far in their efforts to control prices they might violate the Sherman anti-trust law, but there was a happy medium and if the bakers did not go beyond that they would be all right. The complaint further alleges as follows: The associations have endeavored to fix and maintain prices for bakery products. However, the firm of McPerson & Melton of Orange did not join the association, but continued to make bread of as good or a better quality than that made by the bakers of the association, and sold this bread to the public at from two to four cents less per loaf than the prices shown in the schedule of the combination. While selling for less, the complaint eligues that McPhersnn & Melton have been making a fair, just and reasonable profit. It is alleged that the association and Ireland have tried to prevent various merchants and brokers from selling flour and baking materials to McPherson & Melton, and have tried to compel the Orange firm to adopt association scheduled prices or quit business. On April 15, 1918, there was a meeting of flour brokers in Los Angeles, addressed by Ireland. It is alleged that Ireland at that meeting of $800.00 or more, must report the name and address of the individual to whom payment was made, and the amount and character of the income paid. Payments of less than $800.00 made during the year need not be reported. The penalty provided in the law for failure to make this return, is not less than $200.00, nor more than $2,000. Collector Carter states that he believes there are a large number of cases in his district where returns have not as yet been filed, due to a misunderstanding of the requirements of the law. Therefore, he desires that those now classified as delinquents in this respect hasten to file their information rqturns with him by June 1st, so that no penalty will have to be exacted. "To eat potatoes is the best kind of local, home grown patriotism." CLASSIFICATIONS As a result of a second examination by the medical advisory board, disposition has been made of the cases of the registrants examined, as follows: Rudolph Wetzel, Fullerton; Arthur J.

The local board has placed Louis Ortez, who filed his questionnaire a few days ago, in Class 5, division F, being a resident alien, not an enemy. "The potato is a good soldier. Eat it, uniform and all." It is alleged that the association and Ireland have tried to prevent various merchants and brokers from selling flour and baking materials to McPherson & Melton, and have tried to compel the Orange firm to adopt association scheduled prices or quit business. On April 15, 1918, there was a meeting of flour brokers in Los Angeles, addressed by Ireland. It is alleged that Ireland at that meeting said in substance: That there are a few bakers who do not keep association prices; that of the price-cutters the worst one and leader and king-pin of the bunch is S. E. McPherson of Orange; that at that time with malicious intent and with a desire to injure McPherson, Ireland said: "I cannot tell you not to sell flour to these persons, but a word to the wise is sufficient. He is a typical example of a regular I. W. W." The complaint has the following paragraph: "That by 'I. W. W.' defendant meant Industrial Workers of the World. That by reason of many unpatriotic, criminal and treasonable acts and activities of said Industrial Workers of the World, and on account of the prosecution of the said Industrial Workers of the World by the United States government and on account of said acts and activities, the term I. W. W. has become and now is a term of opprobrium, obloquy, derision and disgrace." McPherson declares Ireland's statements to be false. Further, it is alleged that Ireland meant to convey to his hearers that McPherson was a traitor, pro-German, a criminal and an anarchist. For the alleged slander, McPherson asks judgment of $50,000.

MORE STOCK IN FORESTS TO SPEED PRODUCTION Grazing on National Tracts Increased by 500,000 Sheep and 500,000 Cattle To meet the war needs of the country, sheep and ca tle will be grazed on the national forests in increased numbers this year. Half a million more sheep and n early a quarter of a million more cattle will be taken care of than last year, according to the officials of the Forest Service. This will bring the total number of stock grazed under permit to about 9,000,000 sheep, 2,360,000 head of cattle and 51,000 swine. This increase is on top of an increase of 200,000 sheep and 100,000 cattle made last year, when it was recognized that the country's need for beef, mutton, wool and hides called for the fullest possible use of the national forest ranges. Through conservative handling of these ranges for more than ten years their productivity has been steadily rising. With the country at war, the Secretary of Agriculture felt it was necessary to take some chances of over-grazing in the interest of larger immediate production. The results of admitting a larger number of live stock were, however, carefully watched. The further increases made this year are mainly made possible by finding out how additional stock can be grazed.

With war, the Secretary of it was necessary to sus of over-grazing in larger immediate probilities of admitting a of live stock were, only watched. The made this year are visible by finding out stock can be grazed without injury to the ranges through more intensive methods of use. These include readjustments in the allotments of range, closer utilization of the forage, and the opening up of country not before used for grazing stock. In order to make the new areas accessible to stock it has been in many instances necessary to construct trails or driveways. Watering facilities have also been improved. The various increased allowances have been authorized only after careful consideration. The largest increase has been made in the Colorado and Wyoming forests, where 51,000 additional cattle and 151,000 more sheep will be grazed. In the state of California there will be 137,000 more sheep. The provision for more cattle is widely distributed through relatively small in- tion of Herliu R.

Dated April 19, 1918. Z. B. WEST, 5-25-5t Judge of the Superior Court creases on practically all of the forests. In Colorado virtually all of the additional sheep to be grazed are owned in small numbers by settlers of the immediate vicinity. Under present war-time conditions it is no longer necessary to handle sheep in large bands in order to make the handling profitable. "The newest fighting corps—the 'potatiots.' Join the ranks and spud the kaiser." The Southeastern State Normal of Durant, Okla., will award War Savings Stamps instead of medals at the eighth annual track meet.
