INTERESTING SESSION OF CITY TRUSTEES Continued from Page 1 ters referred to him, even if the hour was late. He had looked into a number of safes and had several bargains in view for the city, but disliked buying one on his own responsibility, so Trustee Gibbs was added to the committee, and they will arrange for the purchase. Trustee Backs had arranged for the new battery for the motor fire truck, had the window screens put in on the east side of the hall, and had such a fine job performed that the clerk wanted two for his side of the hall on the west and they will be provided. Mr. Backs also reported that many complaints had been made about the laxity of gathering garbage and a change will have to be made, and that at once. Warm weather is coming on, and the garbage man is due for a curtain lecture. Mr. Steward also voiced disaproval of the tardiness upon the part of the garbage man, and something will have to be done. Trustee McFadden took up the cudgel and said he had counted as many as two dogs wearing a tag, which of course will help some. There must be a scarcity of canines, or perhaps they are fleet of foot, and have an inkling of what is in store for them should they be apprehended without a master, opined the councilman. The water proofing of the roof of the cement tank at the power plant was referred to Supt. Hannum with power to act. Ordinance No. 330, defining salary of street superintendent was passed. ORANGE COUNTY BOYS WILL SOON GO OVER Part of Company L Slated for France, It is Reported Probably within the next two or three weeks a part of Company L, 160th Infantry, composed partly of Orange county men, will leave for France. At Camp Kearney a part of nearly all of the organizations have been selected for removal, and the surmise, of course is that they are to be sent east and across the fields of France. Probably a goodly portion of the men who will go from Company L will be selected from among the drafted men who were put in Company L several months ago. However, quite a number of Orange county men are also to go. The plan under which the men are selected to go calls for keeping most of the non-commissioned officers, as well as most of the commissioned officers. Since practically all of Company L's non-commissioned officers are Santa Ana, Tustin and Orange men, the number of men who will remain and who reside in this portion of the county will still be great enough that Company L can still be considered as a Santa Ana company. Orders have not been given for the start of the Company L men, but at camp there is no question but that a goodly portion of them are to go. In fact, it is understood that orders for their selection have already been received by Captain Holderman. GIVE A LIFT TO THE BOYS IN UNIFORM Anaheim Idea Adopted by the Southern California Auto Club ing, and coming far against Germany is national game of thieves. It means unity of economic solidarity and it means a free man industry and its comes. LARGE BARLEY C BUT N A. S.

Realizing the new action Mr. Bradford the matter up by wthe food administra Francis Cuttle, preerside Water comporer, a Los Angeles in Washington on telegram has been be said from Mr. as two dogs wearing a tag, which of course will help some. There must be a scarcity of canines, or perhaps they are fleet of foot, and have an inkling of what is in store for them should they be apprehended without a master, opined the councilman. The water proofing of the roof of the cement tank at the power plant was referred to Supt. Hannum with power to act. Ordinance No. 330, defining salary of street superintendent was passed. Ordinance No. 331, providing for the duties of the rate collector and fixing his salary, was also passed. They will be found printed in another column. Ordinance No. 332, defining provisions for safety fire regulation, was introduced. R. W. Ernest, in behalf of Mr. McClellan, asked that that gentleman be permitted to dispense lead pencils, gum, etc., upon the public street. The peddlers' ordinance forbids it and the request was denied. The following officers' reports were received and filed. The treasurer reported a balance of $25,130.24 in the treasury on June 12, and Liberty bonds in the amount of $10,500.00. The city recorder reported one violation of section one of Ordinance 94, and 40 cases for violation of section two (drunkenness) and fines totaling $178 collected. The plumbing, gas and sewer inspector reported collection of $30.45 for permits. The sum of $6:85 was reported collected by the city electrician. The marshal reported collection of $1232.75 for licenses. The rate collector's report was as follows: For light ...$2482.45 For water ...1619.65 Total ...$4,102.10 Delinquents Collected: For light ...$108.00 For water ...96.15 Penalties ...9.65 Total ...$213.80 Delinquents Reported: For lights ...$113.35 For water ...135.60 Total ...$248.95 Contract was awarded the Crescent Oil Refining company to furnish three carloads of road oil at $1.93 per barrel, f.o.b.

Anaheim. Chairman Gibbs of the finance committee reported auditing bills against the city in the amount of $5226.93 from the general fund and $99.56 from the library fund, for which warrants were ordered drawn. The city clerk was instructed to notify property owners in the block on Center, between Los Angeles and Lemon, to move back their buildings at once. Should they fail to do so an assessment district will be formed and the work will be done by the city. Capt. Alexander Henry addressed the board, saying his brother Murdoch Henry, well known resident of Stockton, was ready at any time to remodel the front of his building, now occupied by Mrs. Vermulen's drug store, the latter also being anxious to have the change made. Capt. Henry said a connecting stairway between his brother's building and that of Mr. Kroeger retarded progress as the latter gentleman at present does not see his way clear to move his structure back to the new line. In his case it will require an outlay of $3000, the building having two stories and basement. At a previous meeting the board deferred action on raising the pay of the inside men at the power plant, and upon recommendation of the finance committee each of the three men were raised $5 per month and given two days off during the month. The stickers are of the same general design as the standard road signs of the Auto club and bear the wording "Soldiers and Sailors Welcome to a Ride." Samples of the natty design together with letters of invitation have been sent to all training camps, naval bases and other headquarters in Southern California. In addition to the main office of the Auto club in Los Angeles, autoists may secure stickers from the branches located at Riverside, Hollywood, El Centro, Bakersfield, Santa Ana, Long Beach, Pasadena, Whittier, Pomona, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, San Diego, Visalia and Ventura. NUMBER TWENTY Even the best informed war statistician is apt to be a bit shaky when 4t comes to adding up the latest total of Germany's foes. From the data at hand, they now aggregate a full score. Nicaragua, whose congress declared war on Germany and her allies just the other day, has the honor of being number twenty.. She follows Guatemala, which entered the war last month. Like her little nefghbor, Nicaragua can't be counted on for much actual fighting. But the Germans don't laugh at her belligerency. They've got over that folly. They know what it means to have these free American republics entering the lists against them, one by one, until they face the prospect of a solid, permanent anti-German line up on this hemisphere. Brazil has been in the war, in fact, as well as in theory, for a year or so. Cuba is in Panama is in Boliva is in. It's hard to say just off hand whether there are any more than that at the moment. But they're com- ANAHEIM GAZETTE ING, and coming fast. Declaring war against Germany is the great international game of the western world. It means unity of ideals, it means economic solidarity for war purposes, and it means a freeze out for German industry and trade when peace comes. LARGE BARLEY CROP BUT NO PURCHASERS A. S. Bradford Says No Hoarding Order Interferes With Marketing Thousands of sacks of barley are stacked, uncovered in the fields of the Imperial valley, waiting for a market, according to A. S. Bradford of Placentia, who owns a 1000 acre ranch near Calipatria, and who describes the situation as "unique and desperate." "With our middlemen and the mills helpless because of the government order prohibiting hoarding, and able to buy only in small amounts," said Mr. Bradford, upon returning from a trip to the valley, "we find ourselves facing a paradox. With the world crying for grain, we who have strained every effort and gone to great expense to produce a big crop, find ourselves without a buyer—not because the market is low, for barley is now selling in that section for more than wheat, but because we lack a distributor to work between producer and consumer." Realizing the necessity for quick action Mr. Bradford stated, he took the matter up by wire and mail with the food administration, and also with Francis Cuttle, president of the Riverside Water company, and C. C. Splcor, a Los Angeles attorney, who are in Washington on other business. A telegram has been received in reply, he said, from Mr. Cuttle, who stated MENS FURNISHINGS FOR HOT WEATHER SHIRTS to please every man, from plain white to rainbow stripes, from cotton to silk; from $1.00 to $8.00. SHIRTS cut full and large, with neckbands that fit. Our shirts are true to their color; they don't fade. UNDERWEAR in union and two piece garments, made of nain-sook and knit goods.

C. Splcer, a Los Angeles attorney, who are in Washington on other business. A telegram has been received in reply, he said, from Mr. Cuttle, who stated that a special agent had been appointed to straighten out the tangle and has been dispatched to San Francisco. The farmers, Mr. Bradford said, feel that something must be done immediately. The banks are carrying them for big loans upon the security of their crops, and the grain, for which there are no warehouse facilities, is stacked in the open "eating up" interest and insurance premiums. Having paid from $6 to $7 an acre for their threshing, he said, and up to 31 cents each for sacks, and with labor costing from $3 a day for ordinary farm hands to $16 a day for tractor drivers, some of the ranchers, be asserted, are actually without funds to put in their milo crop, and will suffer serious losses unless rome action is taken to relieve the situation. Should these conditions prevent the use of the land for a second crop," said Mr. Bradford, "the farmers will have failed in their efforts to increase production and the land will not have been cropped to capacity, thus defeating the very objects of the Food Administration." As a solution of the problem he suggested that the government act as middleman, buying up the crops at a fair price, and distributing the grain, through the regular channels, by regulation of the dealers, just as has been done in the case of wool. STEADFAST CONFIDENCE The Following Statement Should Form Conclusive Proof of Merit to Every Anaheim Reader Could stronger proof of the merit of any remedy be desired than the statements of grateful endorsers who say their confidence has been undiminished by lapse of time? These are the kind of statements that are appearing constantly in your local papers for Doan's Kidney Pills. They are twice-told and confirmed, with new enthusiasm.

A large number have been ordered and it is expected the first 10,000 will be completed about August 1, 1918. There is no discrimination of any kind between soldiers who are not citizens of the United States and the native born or naturalized citizens in the American army, excepting that the former cannot hold commissions. In all other respects—care, attention, privileges, etc—they are all on the same footing. The Food administration is making a careful survey of the national ice situation in order that it may be prepared to meet any sudden shortages in particular communities. The destruction of ice plants by fire, breakdown of machinery, or the exigency of the weather may at any time cause a serious shortage. Next to the aggregate number of subscribers, perhaps the most striking feature of the third Liberty loan was the support given it by the farming and rural populations of the country, according to a statement by the Treasury department. Not only did the farmers purchase liberally of the bonds, but the rural communities as a rule were more prompt in completing their quotas than the larger cities. More than 20,000 communities in the United States subscribed or over subscribed their quotas; many of them on the first day of the campaign. The majority of these were not cities, but country districts. NEW SUGAR RESTRICTIONS New rules restricting retail sales of sugar to city and town consumers to two pounds at one time, and to five pounds in rural districts, were announced Saturday by the United States food administration for California on instructions from Washington. The new restrictions, necessary to meet a critical shortage in other sections as the result of the loss of millions of pounds of sugar in vessels sunk off the Atlantic coast by German submarines, are effective at once. The maximum ration for homes is fixed at three pounds a person a system of diking the beds, thus preventing the possibility of the oysters being killed by a freeze coincident to a low tide, has had more to do with the preservation and increase of the industry in Washington than any other thing. Almost from the inception of the industry we have had to depend for our supplies of eastern oysters upon yearly shipments of seed oysters from the east coast, as for many years the eastern oyster, when transplanted to this coast did not breed. Several years ago, however, it was discovered that the eastern oysters had begun breeding in Willapa harbor, and efforts are now being put forth by the state fish and oyster commission of Washington to transplant this hardy variety to other waters of the state, which, if successful, will result in greatly increasing the production while at the same time reducing the cost very materially. The native oyster industry is also in a rather languishing condition, and needs vigorous aid from both the federal and state governments in order to put it upon a proper footing. The production of both eastern and native oysters could easily be quadrupled if the proper aid were extended to the industry. COUNTY WILL EXHIBIT AT LIBERTY SHOW D. W. McDannald Asking for Specimens of Products of Our Soil The board of supervisors has decided to take a space 20x20 feet at the Liberty Land show to be held at Exposition park, Los Angeles, October 12-28. D. W. McDannald was in the county and held a conference with the board, and was given full charge of the exhibit. McDannald says he will gather the most complete and comprehensive exhibit ever made from Orange county, and as there will be cash prizes there is no reason why the expense incidental to the display cannot be made out of the premiums to be won. McDannald, who is county lecturer, will give a talk every day. As many of the fruits mentioned for display will be out of season when the land show takes place, McDannald has been instrumental in getting special awards made for processed fruits and will immediately begin this work as fruits come in. Conclusive Proof of Merit to Every Anaheim Reader Could stronger proof of the merit of any remedy be desired than the statements of grateful endorsers who say their confidence has been undiminished by lapse of time? These are the kind of statements that are appearing constantly in your local papers for Doan's Kidney Pills. They are twice-told and confirmed, with new enthusiasm. Can any reader doubt the following, It's from an Anaheim resident. Mrs. Joachim Lunéburg, 122 S. Claudina St., says: "I suffered from rheumatic pains for some time. My back was weak and I was lame all over. On a friend's advice I used Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Mullinix's Drug store, and they helped me from the first. Continued use left me without a sign of kidney complaint or rheumatic pains." (Statement given May 9, 1908). On February 15, 1916, Mrs. Lunéburg said: "I use Doan's Kidney Pills when I need any kidney medicine and always receive prompt relief. I gladly confirm my former endorsement of this medicine." Price 600 at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Luneburg had. Foster-Milburr Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.—Adv. INTERESTING NOTES Incomplete returns from 25 states show that nearly 3,400,000 women have registered for war work under the woman's committee of national defense. The 12-cylinder Liberty motor, according to a statement by the war department, weighs 825 pounds and develops 450 horsepower, or a weight of two pounds at one time, and to five pounds in rural districts, were announced Saturday by the United States food administration for California on instructions from Washington. The new restrictions, necessary to meet a critical shortage in other sections as the result of the loss of millions of pounds of sugar in vessels sunk off the Atlantic coast by German submarines, are effective at once. The maximum ration for homes is fixed at three pounds a person a month. This also applies to boarding houses, mines, camps and ranches, although delivery of a ten days' supply is allowed. Twenty-five pound lots of sugar for canning and preserving may be obtained on the written statement of the purchaser that it is to be used for that purpose only. These statements are to be submitted to the food administration so they may be checked to prevent hoarding. CALIFORNIA OYSTERS The oyster industry of the Pacific coast, which should be one of the best in the country, has been in aanguishing condition for some years. In California, where it was once an important industry, it has been on the down grade for some years, due mainly to the many polluting agencies at work. In Oregon but little effort has been put forth in the past to increase the state's natural resources of this valuable bivalve. In Washington much intelligent effort has been put forth by the growers to solve the many problems (most of which are peculiar to this coast) which have confronted them and impeded their efforts, with the happy result that the industry is now rapidly attaining to a prominent place in the state's fishery resources.

ORANGE COUNTY OIL The oil produced by wells of Orange county for the year ending March 1, 1918, was exactly 14,511,749 barrels; value, approximately, $16,000,000. These figures are given by County Assessor Sleeper who has been making a special investigation into the oil output as a basis for his assessment this year. There have been a good many new wells developed, and with oil advanced in price well owners have been getting the oil out of the ground as rapidly as possible and in as great quantities as possible. The last year has shown an increase of probably 1,700,000 barrels in the county's product, and the average price during the last year was better than during the previous year.
