GOOD PROGRESS IN BABY BOND CAMPAIGN ANAHEIM DETERMINED TO MAIN-TAIN RECORD AND GO OVER THE TOP CHAIRMAN AHLBORN EXPECTS EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD TO JOIN CLUB While the exact amount that Anaheim is expected to subscribe in the war savings stamp campaign is not yet known, it will approximate $140,000. The government has fixed the ratio for this fund at $20 per head, and the Anaheim district is supposed to contain a population of seven thousand. The campaign will end on June 23, and if Anaheim sustains its reputation for doing more than is required, that sum must be over subscribed to the close of that day. Chairman Bern reports satisfactory progressible for the war. A good example is found in the "open confession" published by the Milwaukee German-Herold, a newspaper which was long a steadfast defender of Germany. "We to," sadly admits the Germania-Herold, "have time and time again repeated the assertion to our readers that English statesmen, jealous of Germany's success in the world markets, attempted to encircle it. The Lichnowsky memorandum and Von Ja-gow admission have made that view ridiculous." An honest reading of that remarkable document written by an honest German diplomat should convince any intelligent German citizen of the guilt of the Berlin government, and the innocence of the allied powers. The New York World suggests that the federal committee on public information furnish an authentic copy to all German language newspapers in the country, to place before their readers.

Force without stint or limit! Behind the millions of American men stands a united nation of a hundred million determined inhabitants who have pledged their resources to the cause of victory of America, of humanity?" On June 28, National Pledge Day, those ringing words of President Wilson will re-echo from sea to sea in a stupendous outpouring of the dollars of the people, in popular war savings stamps. The greatest money raising drive for war, ever conducted by the people themselves, is under way now. Two billions of dollars are being raised as their popular contribution to the cause of victory, America and humanity. Nothing like it has ever before been accomplished in the history of the nations of the world. The entire month of June will be devoted to an intensive drive for the sale of war Savings stamps, culminating June 28, in the voluntary subscription by the people from every walk of life, of the amount still unsold, of the allotment for each community. To the military masters of Germany will speed across the seas, in unmistakable terms, the message that behind the Stars and Stripes, waving in the trenches of France, is a united nation of a hundred million people, to back them with their last dollar if need be, that autocracy be forever banished from the world. There must be no luke warmness on the part of the citizens of this city and county. The allotment has been fairly spread. It is based on a per capita assessment of $20 for each man, woman and child in every community throughout the United States. If one ENTER YOUR BABY Uncle Sam Wants to Know All About Him or Her How many Blue Ribbon babies in Orange county? The registration cards sent out by the United States department of labor, children's bureau, are in the hands of the committee and the registration will be pushed as rapidly as possible. There are no babies in the United States better than our Orange county babies and we expect to go over the top with our registration ahead of any of the counties in the state, first because we are the smallest county and second because we have the best babies. Get your baby ready, there will be first, second, third and honorable mention. Prize ribbons and the name of all winners will be published. In accordance with instructions from the chief of the children's bureau, United States department of labor, perfection babies will be determined by their weight, height, etc., compared with their ages. June 15th will probably be baby day all over the county, each district holding its own show, and every baby under school age will be weighed, measured, etc., upon that day. It will be some show. Brush up your baby and carry home a prize baby with your registration card. FINE BUILDING TO REPLACE OLD BANK Plans Completed for Modern Financial Structure at Fullerton The First National bank of Fullerton is about to start work on the handsome new structure with which it is to replace its old time building erected thirty years ago. The contract for the terra cotta to be used on the street fronts was let during the past week to the Los Angeles Pressed Brick company and bids are now being taken by the architect, John C. Austin, for other materials and labor. The new building will be one of the most up to date and attractive banking houses in a place of this size in California.

It is not a time for slackers or slacking. The obligation comes home to each and all as a timely lesson in thrift. There is no dodging the issue. The county of Orange is charged with the responsibility of selling $903,000 in war savings stamps. It is as inexorable as a mortgage. If not raised in one way, partiotically and individually, by spontaneous offers, it must be subscribed by direct personal solicitation, man to man and heart to heart. That this community will do itself proud is the opinion of County Chairman McFadden, who vouches for the prediction that "we will not only do our loyal share, but go clear over the top to the credit of our community and the glory of Southern California."

And still later comes another offering to the confiding citrus growers in the way of what is widely advertised as "C. V. M." humus, or other wise known, as concentrated vegetable manure, a substance known to the denizens of historic Gospel Swamp as plain peat, but which has been deftly metamorphosed by a San Bernardino firm and is being earnestly recommended as not only just as good, but very much better than many of the high priced standard fertilizers at a very much lower cost. Unfortunately for the San Bernardino "humus" people however, the Fruit Growers' Supply company, of Los Angeles, to which organization the San Bernardino product was referred for an opinion as to its merits, turned a sample of the stuff over to the firm of Curtis & Thompkins, analytical chemists of San Francisco, and what the analysis does to the claims of the "humus" promoters is simply what is known in vulgar parlance as a corker. The report of the San Francisco chemists is too voluminous for presentation in full, but sundry random paragraphs are herewith quoted as giving the gist of the opinion in tabloid form.

Unfortunately the law offers no protection to the purchaser where other than what is known as standard fertilizer is sold as commercial fertilizer and at a rate of not less than eight dollars a ton, but since hundreds of tons of barnyard and corral manure is annually sold in this country and since much of this contains a large percentage of worthless material, it would seem timely to suggest to those interested that rigid inspection before acceptance is the only sure remedy for the evil complained of. For many of the fertilizer firms seem to have taken for their business slogan the Latin motto "Caveat Empor"—let the buyer beware, and unless the buyer is able to hold his own in these transactions he is likely to get very much the worst of the deal. Numerous cases in point might be referred to where shipments of worthless material have sent to fruit growers of this county and billed as fertilizer, which when inspected by me at the request of the consignee, have been found to contain large percentages of substances that were not fertilizer, but would have been actually harmful to the ground on which it was proposed to distribute it. Among these shipments mentioned, was one received at Villa Park last year by the Villa Park Orchards association, where a consignment of nine carloads was sent as fertilizer fit to use in citrus orchards, but which in reality was largely made up of sand and adobe clay, with water enough present to make a dripping mass, the whole carefully camouflaged with a covering of good barnyard fertilizer. "The Villa Park Orchard's Association manager sent for me after seeing for himself what the first car contained, and desiring to have all the information possible on the subject, I induced Horticultural Commissioner R. K. Bishop to accompany me, and as the result of our inspection the consignment was refused and the fertilizer firm so notified, and after an the firm of Curtis & Thompkins, analytical chemists of San Francisco, and what the analysis does to the claims of the "humus" promoters is simply what is known in vulgar parlance as a corker. The report of the San Francisco chemists is too voluminous for presentation in full, but sundry random paragraphs are herewith quoted as giving the gist of the opinion in tabloid form. Says the report: "It should be overlooked that this C. V. M. humus is probably, as claimed, nothing more than decayed leaves, stems and other vegetable waste as may be conserved and rooted in compact heaps. Naturally the resulting production contains nothing more than is found in the material from which it is derived except in so far as concentration by rotting and evaporated moisture can bring about, or changes that might occur from bacteriological development. In other words, this material may be considered as very much in the same capacity as cover crops, manure and in many respects as leaf mold or peat." But the unkindest cut of all is given in the closing paragraph of the report as follows: "In correlating our views, we do not consider that the statements of the advertising literature can be accepted seriously, nor do we consider that it is as valuable as a well rotted grade of stable manure. From the standpoint of its nitrogen contents it is about the same as stable manure or cover crops, and unless demonstrated to the contrary in an entirely authentic manner, would correspond closely to a good peat soil and would be valuable for precisely the purpose for which such materials are employed, disregarding the other so-called plant food values. It certainly could not be valued upon the basis of its nitrogen contents, as it would be in the case of mixed fertilizers. It should be credited in its proper place as having a nominal value and would undoubtedly pay the cost of hauling and application, if you were always sure of a product represented by the advertised figures of over two per cent nitrogen and twenty four per cent humus, though the phosphoric acid and potash should not be considered as a factor in favor of its use. The purchase of C. V. M. humus on a basis of its having all the so called plant food values, is in our judgment, unwarranted, and should be used with no other idea in view that as a mulch, the same as cover crops or manure. That a considerable number of people have faith in the efficiency of this oration day one of the largest ever gathered there to pay tribute to the honored dead, but the program arranged by Commander A. B. Markle of Malvern Hill post, was an unusually interesting one. In addition to the post, which was present in full force, the Fullerton home guard, under command of Captain E. W. Hauck, and two companies of the Anaheim high school students, commanded by Major Malcolm, marched from the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets to the cemetery, and took part in the exercises. The Fullerton fire and drum corps led the procession, and at the cemetery rendered a number of old time war tunes that stirred the heart of every person in the big throng. The speaker of the day was Rev. W. A. Perry, pastor of the Baptist church of Fullerton, who made an eloquent patriotic address, lauding the veterans of '61 for their achievements and pointing out the duties of the present generation in the struggle in which the nation is now engaged. Speaking of the Cuban war he said there was no parallel in all history to the action of the United States in fighting a dominant nation for the possession of a foreign country then giving the country back to its people after it had been conquered. Mr. Perry fought through the Cuban and Philippine wars, being engaged in forty-three battles in Philippines. The United States, he said, in these wars fought for the freedom of the people of both Cuba and the Philippines, and both are now living under self government. The Filipinos, he said, enthusiastically declare that their country began to develop and prosper after the United States tore the yoke of Spain from their leeks. The speaker also paid high tributio to the Red Cross and told of the magnificent work that society was doing in the war. Adjutant O. V. Knowlton of Malvern Hill post gave a naddress to the unknown dead. Comrade Knowlton was somewhat severe in his strictures on the enemy which our boys are now fighting in France. In the revolutionary war, he said, George the third, a Hun, was responsible for the first of America's unknown graves. In civil war, Capt. Wirz, a Hun was commandant at Andersonville prison, and was responsible for thousands of unknown graves and in the present war Kaiser Wilhelm, also a Hun, has made untold thousands of unknown graves in Europe.

ENJOYA Brookhua More like ladie club on families and help "The Villa Park Orchard's Association manager sent for me after seeing for himself what the first car contained, and desiring to have all the information possible on the subject, I induced Horticultural Commissioner R. K. Bishop to accompany me, and as the result of our inspection the consignment was refused and the fertilizer firm so notified, and after an unsuccessful attempt to bluff the Villa Park people into accepting the shipment, and a further fruitless effort to give the stuff away to anyone who would unload it, six cars were dumped alongside the railroad tracks and two hauled away, one of these being disposed of in Anaheim and the other in Whittier, so it was reported. Another instance that may be mentioned was at Orange, where two cars of fertilizer were found by analysis of sample to contain over sixty per cent of sand, which would mean that of the forty eight tons of material billed as fertilizer, nearly twenty nine tons was sand, which material may be obtained in any desired quantity in the Santa Ana river bed without other expense than the cost of hauling. Later, and only a few months ago, citrus growers in the vicinity of Tustin contracted for some eighteen carloads of fertilizer from Camp Kearny, which on its arrival was found to be practically worthless for the purpose intended, and after inspection the contract was cancelled. Still later, a four car consignment from Florence, Los Angeles county of so called fertilizer shipped to the Hewes Realty Company at El Modena, was found to be so far from what it was represented, that the manager of the company has announced his intention of not paying for it, as he says the stuff was hardly advertised figures of over two per cent nitrogen and twenty four per cent humus, though the phosphoric acid and potash should not be considered as a factor in favor of its use. The purchase of C. V. M. humus on a basis of its having all the so called plant food values, is in our judgment, unwarranted, and should be used with no other odea in view that as a mulch, the same as cover crops or manure. That a considerable number of people have faith in the efficiency of this so called humus as a fertilizer, or at least have faith that they can persuade Southern California citrus growers of its alleged merits is evidenced by the fact that quite recently a 20-acre tract of peat land near Huntington Beach was acquired by a Redlands man, according to current report, and the peat surface of this is being cut out and shipped away for the alleged purpose of being used as a fertilizer. But the gospel swampers still call to peat, and the San Francisco analytical chemists give it the more or less valuable recommendation that it is probably just as good as any other material of a similar character. To which might be added that the established birth rate of suckers still stands on an even keel—one every minute. Respectfully, GEO. McPHEE, Sealer Weights and Measures. Saturday night Sheriff Jackson and Deputies Iman, Fowler and Cravath dropped in upon the ranch home of Martin Etchandy at Richfield, and put Etchandy under arrest. They also took in charge part of a sack of bottled beer, about the same quantity of empty bottles and two or three demi-johns of wine. Etchandy is charged with selling booze illegally. He pleaded not guilty, and his trial was set for June 20. His son gave ball. the enemy which our boys are now fighting in France. In the revolutionary war, he said, George the third, Aun, was responsible for the first of America's unknown graves. In the civil war, Capt. Wirz, a Hun was commandant at Andersonville prison, and was responsible for thousands of unknown graves and in the present war Kaiser Wilhelm, also a Hun, has made untold thousands of unknown graves in Europe. In America, Comrade Knowlton continued, among the native born and naturalized citizens, no matter from what race they sprung, there are now but two classes of citizens—Americans and damned traitors. Miss Applegate of the Fremont school, had charge of the musical program, the Fremont orchestra and a chorus of Fremont and Central pupils providing the music, both vocal and instrumental. The Yorba Linda quartet had been engaged for this part of the program, but were unable to attend. Julla Ward Howe Tent, Daughters of Veterans, assisted by school children, then marched through the cemetery and decorated all the graves that had been marked with flags. There was a similar service at Linda Vista cemetery in the afternoon, Malvern Hill post, the Daughters of Veterans and the Fullerton home guards taking part. Judge W. H. Thomas was the orator there. In the evening Commander Markle made a memorial address at the M. E. church at Buena Park. There were 40 graves of Union soldiers and five Confederates decorated in Anaheim cemetery, and eight who wore the blue are buried at Loma Vista. Not a single member of Malvern Hill post has passed away during the past year, which is considered a remarkable record.

CEMETERY ASSOCIATION ELECTS NEW DIRECTORS Many Improvements Contemplated in Our City of the Dead Stockholders of the Anaheim Cemetery Association in annual session last Saturday elected Henry Hetebrink, Joe Wagner, Mrs. Richard Seale, H. V. Weisel and Gus Langenberger as a board of directors for the coming year. The new board will have its first meeting Monday. Many improvements will probably be made in the cemetery during the coming year. The city has agreed to furnish water at a minimum rate. This is one of the greatest necessities, as grass, flowers and trees cannot be kept alive without water. The perpetual care plan, upon which the former directors have been working during the past year, will probably be consummated some day, but the new board has decided that the city of the dead shall not be neglected in the meantime. The cemetery is in a bad condition owing to a lack of funds, but the people of Anaheim should join forces with the directors and remedy this state of affairs. A. A. Mills who has been soliciting funds for the cemetery, reported that WOMAN DEFYING, COAT TAILS FLYING PAUL HESTER EXPERIENCES EXCITING EPISODE, BEATS IT FOR THE TRENCHES SWEARS OUT WARRANT FOR MRS.

The complainant alleges that Mrs. Ziegler severely scratched him upon the face, and also threatened to kill him. This Mrs. Ziegler denies emphatically. Judge Cox set the case for trial on June 18 and allowed the defendant to go upon her own recognizance.

The cemetery is in a bad condition owing to a lack of funds, but the people of Anaheim should join forces with the directors and remedy this state of affairs. A. A. Mills who has been soliciting funds for the cemetery, reported that he had raised $9000 by subscription and pledges, and Mrs. J. J. Dwyer had secured $4000. Mr. Mills thought that $12,000 would place the cemetery in excellent shape including a water system, but he advocated that at least $600 more be secured if possible. HIS HAT IN THE RING FOR COUNTY CLERK J. M. Backs Announces That He Will Be a Candidate Responding to the solicitations of numerous friends throughout the county, J. M. Backs, it is announced, has decided to enter the race for county clerk. This announcement will be pleasing news to his wide circle of friends in Anaheim. There is no man in the county better fitted for the position than Joe. He has been a deputy in the clerk's office for a number of years, is now the chief deputy, and is familiar with all the duties pertaining to the office. The recent announcement of County Clerk Edwards that he would retire at the expiration of his term left the field open, and nothing is more fitting than that his chief deputy should step into his vacancy. Mr. Backs is a native son of the county. He was born in Anaheim and grew to manhood here. By reason of his long connection with the clerk's office he has made a host of friends in every section of the county, who have been urging him to be a candidate. ENJOYABLE PICNIC AT GRIFFITH PARK Brookhurst Ladies Gather In Some Coin for the Red Cross More patriotic pep was shown by the ladies of the Brookhurst Busy Bee club on June 2nd when they and their families journeyed to Griffith Park and held a picnic there. After enjoy- Valencia, went into Justice Cox's court at Santa Ana, on Friday, and plead not guilty to the charge of assault and battery filed against her by Paul Hester, editor of the Plain Dealer. The complainant alleges that Mrs. Ziegler severely scratched him upon the face, and also threatened to kill him. This Mrs. Ziegler denies emphatically. Judge Cox set the case for trial on June 18 and allowed the defendant to go upon her own recognizance. In speaking of the episode Mrs. Ziegler said she was seated in the lobby of the hotel one evening about 9 o'clock, expecting soon to go to her home on North Clementina street, when she espied Mr. Hester emerging from the elevator on the lower floor. She quizzically asked him how he liked her elevator, and as he stepped close to the door of the hotel, she advanced toward him, and shaking her finger at him, said: "You are always knocking this town—if you don't like this town, why in h—I don't you move?" Meanwhile Mrs. Ziegler grabbed hold of Hester's coat sleeve, while he was evidently intent on getting out of the premises. "He jerked away from me," said Mrs. Ziegler, "and started to run across the street. Quite a crowd of people were around and many autos were parked in the street. Hester continued going," said Mrs. Ziegler, "and as I was on my way home, I crossed the street, and turned the corner into North Lemon." "Did you run after Mr. Hester?" she was asked. "I was not running," she replied, "as I was on my way home I continued to walk north on Lemon street. Hester was beating it up that street at a lively clip and soon reached the corner of Chartres and disappeared. I continued on my way and went to my home over on North Clementina street." "Mr. Hester says you clawed him severely," she was told. "Nonsense; I did not scratch him. Here, look, see my finger nails. I always keep them trimmed closely. How could I scratch him. When I tried to get hold of his coat sleeve, he broke away from me and started to run. I could not have hit or scratched him if I had wanted to." It was said Mrs. Ziegler had become greatly vexed by repeated references in Hester's paper that Anaheim was due for ascension upon the water wagon, meanwhile casting aspersions upon ENJOYABLE PICNIC AT GRIFFITH PARK Brookhurst Ladies Gather in Some Coin for the Red Cross More patriotic pep was shown by the ladies of the Brookhurst Busy Bee club on June 2nd when they and their families journeyed to Griffith Park and held a picnic there. After enjoying a luncheon such as only those ladies know how to prepare, the happy company heavily laden with many sized mysterious packages hiked up the canyon until a favorable spot was reached. Here the packages were deposited on an accommodating rock and Charles Newcombe was acclaimed auctioneer, and a splendid one he made, for at the end of a jolly hour the generous customers had put in the hands of the secretary, Mrs. U. B. Parrett, $23.50 for the local Red Cross. Mesdames G. Hiserodt, C. M. Fender, M. Hirt, N. Hatfield, C. Allgeyer, H. Allgeyer, U. Thompson, L. Daniel, F. Miller, C. C. Newcombe, U. B. Parrett and families were present. Yesterday all young men in the United States who had reached the age of 21 since June 5, 1917, were required to register for military service. This included not only natives but allens. It is estimated that one million men were thus added to the list of men within military age. In this district registration offices were open at the Anaheim City hall with Richard Melrose in charge, at the exemption board headquarters in Fullerton with Chairman C. C. Chapman in charge and at the News office, Huntington Beach, Editor J. C. Conrad acting as registration clerk. The offices were open until nine o'clock last night. "Nonsense; I did not scratch him. Here, look, see my finger nails. I always keep them trimmed closely. How could I scratch him. When I tried to get hold of his coat sleeve, he broke away from me and started to run. I could not have hit or scratched him if I had wanted to." It was said Mrs. Ziegler had become greatly vexed by repeated references in Hester's paper that Anaheim was due for ascension upon the water wagon, meanwhile casting aspersions upon the people in general engaged in the liquor business in this city, classing them as being engaged in an outlawed vocation. But it is understood in some quarters that Mrs. Ziegler's irony was aroused against Hester not so much for his references favoring a dry town as on account of his phonetic spelling. However, it is said Hester made a precipitous retreat out of the hotel and got out of the way as quickly as possible. Hester also swore out a complaint against Mrs. Ziegler, charging threats to kill and asking that she be placed under bonds to keep the peace. The case came up in the superior court, Judge Thomas presiding, yesterday but up to the hour of going to press we had not heard of the outcome of the case. John Ziegler says he dislikes very much to be classed as being engaged in an "outlaw" business. He has built a magnificent hotel building here which would be a credit to a town many times larger. In fact Mr. Ziegler started building operations in the downtown district and as a result many other fine business blocks have been erected. L. E. Miller was visiting his mother and brothers at Long Beach Sunday.
