A. Fruit and vegetable growers of Southern California are now being aid-ed in the marketing of their crops by the Bureau of Markets of the U. S. department of agriculture, which has recently established an office in Los Angeles. The fifteen thousand miles of leased telegraph wires, connecting practically all of the important receiving markets in the United States, have now been placed at the disposal of growers in Southern California. The local office at 206 Wholesale Terminal building is one of a number recently established on the Pacific coast and with the opening of these western offices, the bureau of markets is now able to furnish practically complete information covering the markets of the entire United States. This market news service has had a rapid growth nutll now there are 35 offices similar to the one at Los Angeles, which are in operation daily for the purpose of furnishing quick, reliable and accurate information on market conditions on fruits and vegetables to both producer and consumer. Each of these offices is in charge of a trained produce man, who thoroughly understands the business, and who reports the arrivals, quality, condition and demand for all seasonable part occupied, the mother earth has received to itself again hundreds of thousands of my dead children. But our heads are high, our determination is unbroken. They shall not pass. "And when America answers, does it not thrill you to hear: 'We, too, have crossed the danger-infested seas,' as Lafayette and Rochambeau did long years since; we have coordinated our workshops and fabricated our materials. We are marching hundreds of thousands strong, and we will continue to be there to the end.'"

This market news service has had a rapid growth until now there are 35 offices similar to the one at Los Angeles, which are in operation daily for the purpose of furnishing quick, reliable and accurate information on market conditions on fruits and vegetables to both producer and consumer. Each of these offices is in charge of a trained produce man, who thoroughly understands the business, and who reports the arrivals, quality, condition and demand for all seasonable perishable products which are arriving on his market each morning. This man is on the ground early in the morning, while actual sales are being made, and reports conditions from personal observation. This information is telegraphed to Washington where it is redistributed by wire to all sections if the country, printed by duplicating machines in the various branch offices and distributed by noon of each day. Free of charge to all interested growers and shippers. The local office also receives reports from the division superintendent on every railroad in the United States moving fruits and vegetables in car lot quantities and publishes a complete record of all shipments during the previous 24 hours. This service is absolutely free of cost, and any person desiring to receive these market bulletins may have his name placed on the mailing list by writing to the Los Angeles office at 206 Wholesale Terminal building and stating the particular crops on which he desires to secure reports. At the present time, daily market news bulletins are being issued on cantaloupes, cabbages, potatoes and onions, but as the season advances, bulletins will be issued covering practically all vegetables and deciduous fruits. In addition to the furnishing of the market news information, the Los Angeles office is also authorized to make inspection and issue certificates as to the condition of carloads of produce arriving on the market. These certificates are issued only at the request of the shipper or shipper's agent, and are accepted in all courts as prima facie evidence as to the true condition. The Los Angeles office is headquarters for the activities described above for all the territory west of the Rocky Mountains. Mr. O. W. Schleussner is the supervisor in charge of the western offices, at present including, aside from the Los Angeles branch, San Francisco, Portland, Spokane and Butte.

ROLL OF FAITHFUL "We have joined a combination in which France and Great Britain and Italy and the United States have assembled in France the greatest force for righteousness the world has ever seen," said Secretary Baker in a speech at West Point. "We see in that combination a submergency of international discord and of national selfishness. "I can imagine that when the God of nations calls the roll of those who have been faithful England will say: 'I am here with my ships and my men. My losses are grievous, but my spirit is unbroken.'" "Italy answers, too, from the Alps to the Asiago. She says: 'My sons are here dying and struggling and holding the mountain passes against those who would crush us.'"

RED CROSS NURSES The demand for nurses is so great that the Red Cross is having numerous inquiries as to where training may be acquired in the shortest possible time. Miss Lillian L. White, director of the bureau of nursing for the Pacific division has answered these inquiries as follows: "A twelve weeks course is to be given at the University of California, June 24 to September 14; upon completion of which college graduates will be entitled to one year's credit in any accredited school of nursing. Application should be made to the Dean of Women, 205 California Hall, University of California, Berkeley."

Mrs. Busse living in Germany the war, is now country." ANAHEIM GAZETTE OIL FIELD NOTES By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER June continues to maintain a wonderful record for the development and production of oil in the great oil fields of Southern California. The month opened with over 100 wells drilling. This big drilling record has been kept up, for as fast as wells are completed and put on the beam new wells are started drilling. A great effort is being made to bring up the production of the field to the highest possible point not only by the continuance of the drilling of new wells but by the redrilling and cleaning out of a large number of old ones that have been on the pump for a number of years. At the present time four oil companies are doing what they can in this way. The results have been very gratifying thus far as a number of the old wells that were falling off rapidly have been made to come up wonderfully in the production. One of the most encouraging features of the week brought to the attention of the data gatherer is the fine and excellent showing that a number of the wild cat wells now drilling in the field are making. Two of the wells are looking so good that it begins to appear as though several thousand acres of new oil territory is to be added to the Brea field before the month is over. The Tri-State's well south of La Habra is looking more encouraging at its present depth of 5590 than it has ever looked before in the seven years that this well has been drilling. At a depth of 5590 a sand has been struck that looks a little like oil sand. The new formation carries gas enough very sensitive to the strain on the pipe and is working very nicely and will likely be widely adapted for rotary drilling. A week ago the Union completed La Merced No. 4 on the Orcutt ranch at Montebello and the well started off with an initial production of 5000 barrels. The flow quit as suddenly as it begin and an examination proved that water was the cause of the well's sudden cessation. The water problem has been solved and the well is now on the beam again and making 1000 barrels of fluid. While some of this is water, the percentage of water is decreasing rapidly and it appears that this well will settle down to not less than 1000 barrels. Not entirely satisfied with the findings at Huntington the Amalgamated is going ahead with the work of tracing out the entry of water into the well and will continue the work until something is accomplished toward shutting off the water so that the well can be pumped under normal conditions. The depth of the well is 3662 and the management state that showings that gave some promise were noticed before an effort was made to test out the well. At Brea the Amalgamated has set a new figure heretofore not used in the wage paid by the larger developing concerns to its drillers. The new schedule of pay calls for $8 for 8 hours work for drillers. The new figure approaches that paid by the Standard Oil company and the change will mean that other companies will have to make arrangements to meet the $8 a day for drillers. The raise in pay also effects the employees of the West Coast company a subsidiary of the Associated. The Birch company has completed factory work in chemistry, biology and physiology, nutrition and cookery may be admitted to any accredited school of nursing with six months' credit. "High school and normal school graduates who have not had this preparatory work will be able to obtain it at the Santa Barbara normal, the course running from June 24 to August 30. "It may be necessary to transfer women for the last year of training to military hospitals where the course would be completed while in actual service. At the end of this time students will be eligible for examination for state registration." The demand for nurses, not amateurs, will be overwhelming from now on, and the American nurse will have the world for her field." CHILD'S NARROW ESCAPE Little Alva Adams, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Adams, attended the baby show at the primary school on Tuesday afternoon, and was awarded a blue ribbon as one of the prize winners. Alva will be three years old next October. His height is 7-8 of an inch less and his weight two pounds less than that of a child four years of age. In the evening, while riding with his brother Sam in his father's automobile the child opened the car door as it was turning a corner, and fell to the pavement. The rear wheel tore out a handful of the child's hair. The child was severely bruised about the face, but suffered no permanent injury. It was a very narrow escape. A CHEERFUL OUTLOOK A couple of months ago the nation was in the dumps. Today nearly everything looks good. Our shipping situation has improved wonderfully, and the production this year will far surpass recent expectations. Our military pace has quickened and our troops are being rushed to France in far greater numbers than anyone anticipated. Our banking system is as firm as a rock, everybody is working, and we are paying a surprising amount of war expenses from current income. We have no labor troubles worth speaking about. Labor is virtually a unit in its loyalty and practical support of the war. The food outlook is bright. The wheat crop tops all former estimates, and experts are now talking of the possibility of a billion bushels this year. Some phases of war preparation are still disappointing, particularly airplane and ordnance production. Big men have now been put in charge of both these departments. When they start functioning properly, we shall have to seek far to find any ground for pessimism. Quite a crowd of gentlemen of the dry persuasion occupied front seats at the council meeting Thursday night, all anxious to see how the municipal wheels went round when grinding out a bone dry law. There were few thrills as the legal document was only up for first reading and will not become of official import until affirmatively appear as though several thousand acres of new oil territory is to be added to the Brea field before the month is over. The Tri-State's well south of La Habra is looking more encouraging at its present depth of 5590 than it has ever looked before in the seven years that this well has been drilling. At a depth of 5590 a sand has been struck that looks a little like oil sand. The new formation carries gas enough to be observable. The drilling of the well is going ahead under very favorable circumstances and the chances for getting a producer are certainly of a very encouraging nature. The well is now the second deepest well in the Brea field the record being held by the Corner Stone well drilled to a depth of 5725. If oil is found in the Tri-State well it will upset the dope on deep wells in this field to some extent as no producers of any consequence have been obtained at the 5000 mark. The Union Oil company is now doing more work in the Brea field than ever before in the history of the development of the field. This big company is now operating on nine different leases, has 20 wells drilling, and a force of 400 men at work to the slogan of "produce more oil." The Union's Bastanchury No. 5 is now redrilling at 4450 and getting back to the original depth at a rapid gate. This well was drilled originally to 4738 when a bad fishing job developed that caused a redrilling job. As this deep well showed up very nicely at the 4700 mark the redrilling will be continued until the original depth is reached. A peculiar fact has developed with the cementing of the Chapman well at Placentia. A month ago this well was cemented at 2486. The cement was allowed to stand the required time. On opening the well and drilling out the cement it was found that the cement had not set. A second cementing of two weeks ago has met with the same results, and an effort is now being made to find out why the cement falls to cement. The theory has been advanced that the gas is working on the cement and prevents it from setting. Drilling on the Graham Loftus has met with considerable difficulty. Three wells are drilling and on all three a fishing job has developed. At No. 49 After drilling thru some 300 feet of high grade and exceedingly lively oil sand the Brea Canyon Oil company has ceased drilling and are putting on the finishing touches necessary for the bringing in of the well. The casing is being perforated and the rods and tubing will be in before the end of the week. A five hundred barrel well is expected. No. 29 is drilling at 3958 and is in the brown shale. At a depth of 3857 feet reported early in the week the Copa De Oro's well in the Brea canyon is looking so good that a big surprise may be in store for those who have backed the project. At the above mentioned depth the tools are drilling in a sand that looks so much like oil sand that the difference is negligible. This sand is lively with gas and the oil colors showing are substantial enough to raise nopes high. The writer has no stock in the well, but is giving the facts direct as they come from the management. Although greatly hampered with two very difficult fishing jobs on its No.10 and 11 in the Brea field the Fullerton Oil Co. is making great progress. At No.10 pulling of casing is going good, and the well will be straightened in good shape in a short time. At No.11 drilling is continuing at 3087 and new hole will be in order before very long. This well is now being drilled with oil and it is expected that the oil will hasten the work faster than water. At Whittler rigging up work on No.4 is nearly completed. Quite a crowd of gentlemen of the dry persuasion occupied front seats at the council meeting Thursday night, all anxious to see how the municipal wheels went round when grinding out a bone dry law. There were few thrills as the legal document was only up for first reading and will not become of official import until affirmatively approved by the council. Three votes are sufficient to pass the ordinance, which according to the dope sheet, have been pledged favorably for the prohibitive liquor measure. There is a possibility that the question at issue will be given the referendum, allowing the people to decide the matter. Fred Schmidt, born in Germany, is in jail for failure to register as an alien enemy. "I am only a harmless preacher," said he. He carried a Bible and a bundle of clothing. He says he has been doing missionary work in Mexico. At the jail he said he was 57 years old, had been in this country 38 years, in the state 17 and in the county 10 years. He was taken to jail from Anaheim by Motorcycle Officer Carr. It is stated that when Schmidt was told he ought to register he said, "If they want me to register, they can find me." The famous Adolphus Busch residence property on Orange Grove avenue, Pasadena, has been seized by the government under the allen property law. The sunken gardens, will be used as a convalescent hospital for soldiers. Mrs. Busch, the owner, who was living in Germany at the outbreak of the war, is now on her way to this country. Drilling on the Graham Loftus has met with considerable difficulty. Three wells are drilling and on all three a fishing job has developed. At No. 49 a bailer is in the hole. No. 51 is being delayed with a bit in the hole, and at No. 52 a string of tools is causing some difficulty. No. 42 a well put on the production a few weeks ago has been recieved in the hope of shutting off water that has damaged the output. On the Naranjal lease the Union after facing some very difficult drilling problems on a number of the wells now have the wells in good shape. No. 9 is drilling at 1450. No. 10 is making progress at 1150. No. 11 started recently is now drilling at 800 feet. Casing trouble that developed last week is being overcome by swedging and the drilling now go ahead again. On the Stearns lease the Union's No. 55 is drilling at 3000 feet, and at this depth the formation is sandy shale and the well is beginning to look very promising. A 600 barrel well is predicted. This lease is a light oil producer and the well will be a valuable addition to the field. This well was drilled to the present depth without a twist off of the rotary pile. A good deal of the drilling success of the well is credited to the two cylinder steam engine operating the rotary. This engine without a fly wheel is open to cement it was found that the cement had not set. A second cementing of two weeks ago has met with the same results, and an effort is now being made to find out why the cement falls to cement. The theory has been advanced that the gas is working on the cement and prevents it from setting. The Murphy lease the Standard Oil company has six wells drilling, has one well testing out and two wells standing cemented. New work has commenced on three wells and consists of rig building, rigging up and making grades. No. 48 is building rig, No. 49 is installing the rotary and No. 50 is grading for a rig. The Standard' is shaking up the old The Standard is shaking up the old come up to capacity. The work is being done by redrilling and cleaning out and a number of the old wells are undergoing this process. On the Baldwin Hills property the Standard has seven wells drilling, is making tests on 4 wells and has commenced work on a new well.

The field engineering department of the Union headed by R. W. Phelps for the past six months has been working on this model and now have the work showing all the drilling wells on the Naranjal, the Graham Loftus, the Hole lease and a large portion of the Montebello field. The model also includes the Standard's Coyote No. 2, the property of the West Coast and the Amalgamated Oil companies. The oil sands and the water sands penetrated in the different wells are connected with colored strings, and in this way the sands can be followed through the entire field; and an idea can be gained from the model how the formations may run on outlying as well as adjacent property. The model gives an excellent X-ray of the underlying formations and from the standpoint of geology is an education in itself. In the construction of this peg model the Union Oil Co. recognizes and appreciates the cooperation and great interest the neighboring oil companies have shown in the work. The Union announces that this interesting piece of research work and compilation of data necessary for the construction of the peg model is not for the sole use of the company but invites every individual whether he be operator or roustabout to call at the company's Brea office and inspect it. The peg model as it now stands covers an area of five square miles of the Brea field and the entire field will be PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev. C.

The model now under construction by the Union is the only one of its kind in the Southern field. The Red Cross benefit dance given by the Stanton branch of the Anaheim Red Cross in the city hall at Stanton, was a decided success in every way. There were about 35 couples present, who enjoyed the dancing and splendid music which was furnished by Miss Margaret Junge, Miss Eileen Adams' and Miss Antonla Friend, who donated their services free for the good of the cause. About $60 was realized from the affair. Figures given by Miss Myrtle-Meyer, deputy county clerk, show that 1861 names were signed in this county to the initiative petition under which educators of the state expect to have put on the ballot in November a measure to substitute for what has been designated as the tax limitation law. There were 135 petitions circulated in this county. Miss Meyer has checked over petitions for what is known as the chiropractic initiative measure. It has 288 signers in this county. The single tax initiative measure has 188 signers. Born, on Thursday, June 14, to Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Umland, a daughter. WHAT THEY ARE A war savings stamp is evidence of payment for or on account of a War Savings Certificate. Each War Savings Stamp affixed to a War Savings Certificate on January 1, 1923, entitles the owner thereof to receive from the United States government the sum of $5.00. A War Savings Certificate is the government certificate given to you when you buy your first War Savings stamp and to which you attach that stamp and all future stamps bought until the Certificate is filled—20 altogether. The price of a War Savings Stamp is $4.12 until January 31, 1918. Beginning February 1, 1918, the price increases 1 cent per month until the end of the year. The difference between the average cost and $5 represents interest at 4% compounded quarterly. A Thrift Stamp costs 25 cents. When you have placed 16 of these stamps on your Thrift Card you can exchange it for a War Savings Stamp as explained on the Thrift Card. A Thrift Card is the card given you with your first Thrift Stamp and to which you attach your Thrift Stamps until the card is filled—sixteen stamps altogether. Buy Savings and Thrift Stamps at any post office, bank, trust company, or savings bank, from any merchant or at any railroad station having on display an authorized agent card signed by the secretary of the treasury.
