G.O.P. TO HAVE NO CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS CENTRAL COMMITTEE SO DECIDES AT MEETING HELD AT SANTA ANA WEDNESDAY DIVISION OF PEOPLE ON POLITICAL ISSUES DEEMED UNWISE AT THIS TIME The republicans of the Eleventh congressional district will have no candidate in the field for congressman this fall. This was decided at a meeting of the central committee held at Santa Ana Wednesday afternoon. It was the unanimous sentiment of the members of the committee and other representative party men present that everything should be subordinated to the prosecution of the war, and inasmuch as William Kettner, who now represents this district, is an ardent supporter of the administration's war policies, which also have the endorsement of all loyal citizens, it was deemed unwise to create a division of the people by inaugurating a political fight. The resolution adopted by the committee, is as follows: "In view of the anomalous situation and unusual conditions confronting the country, the Republican congressional district committee of the Eleventh congress district of California, after consideration and after advising with leading Republicans from manyolution shall be submitted by the secretary through the mail to those delegates who attended the congressional district conference at San Diego two years ago for their approval. James Guthrie stated that R. C. Harbison of San Bernardino, who was the Republican nominee for congressman two years ago, was unable to be present at the committee meeting, but he desired Guthrie to state to the committee that Harbison did not think it was advisable for the Republicans to have a candidate this year, but if the committee desired that there be a candidate and wanted him to be that candidate, he was at its service, though he preferred not to run. Lew W. Irvine, husband of Mrs. Stella Irvine of Riverside, the prohibition candidate, J. C. Ball, superintendent of the Southern California prohibition party, and Mrs. Elizabeth Mills of Orange, were present and endeavored to secure an endorsement for Mrs. Irvine but failed. It was stated after the conference by Irvine that petitions will be circulated in the district by which Mrs. Irvine will seek to have her name placed upon the Republican ballot for the Republican nomination. It is not known whether or not similar action will be taken by the Democrats in Kettner's behalf." FEDERAL RESERVE BANK FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Orange County Association Favors the Proposition Taking the stand that a branch of the Federal Reserve bank of San Francisco would be of great benefit to all bankers of Southern California, the Orange county bankers' association FEDERAL RESERVE BANK FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Orange County Association Favors the Proposition Taking the stand that a branch of the Federal Reserve bank of San Francisco would be of great benefit to all bankers of Southern California, the Orange county bankers' association Tuesday night passed a resolution asking for such an establishment and ordered it transmitted to the Los Angeles clearing house, which has the proposition under consideration. The action was taken when a committee previously appointed reported favorably and the committee's report was adopted. The meeting of bankers was held at Olive as guests of the First National bank of that place and all delegates were invited to the home of President J. D. Thomas. W. D. Longyear, president of the California Bankers' association and vice president of the Security Trust and Savings bank of Los Angeles, was present and addressed the meeting. He urged closer organization of Southern bankers that they may better be able to cooperate in promoting government finances during the war. He also urged that local bankers curtail all loans for unnecessary enterprises, and especially on luxuries. He said the Los Angeles banks now refuse all such loans, and lend money only for furtherance of necessary industries and enterprises. Senator Lewis H. Rosebury, trust officer of the Security bank, gave an interesting talk on trust departments. WAR BANK NOTES We're to have a war time currency. It is expected to make its appearance, appropriately enough, on or about July 4th. It will consist of a big issue of new $1 and $2 bills symbolizing the present war. The $1 note will have on its face a portrait of George Washington, who fought and won our first war for freedom, and on the reverse side an eagle in warlike attitude clutching the American flag. The $2 note will bear on its face a picture of Thomas Jefferson, the greatest of our early exponents of democracy, and on the back the design of one of our new battle-ships that are fighting for world democracy. gressional campaign in this district this year, and we announce this conviction without abating in the least our loyalty to those national policies which are distinctively Republican, and without either justifying or condoning the vote of the congressman from this district which was cast for a tariff bill the effects of which must have been ruinous to the industries of this district, had not the war intervened to completely overturn the normal trend of trade and commerce. "Sixth: We are therefore calling no district conference to make an endorsement or recommendation to the Republican voters in the primary election, and we recommend that no such conference be held, and no nomination made. But appreciating that at the earliest possible moment following the declaration of peace it will be of the utmost importance that the district again be represented by a Republican congressman at Washington, we urge that the Republicans of the district shall then select such a candidate and unite to elect him in the succeeding November." The meeting was held on the call of its chairman, R. L. Riley of Colton, and its secretary, James Guthrie of San Bernardino. Those present were Riley, Guthrie, S. F. Kelly of San Bernardino; W. H. Rukk, Cucamonga; Earl Paul, C. E. Grier, T. R. Woodbridge, Uplands; J. C. Jones, Etlwanda; H. B. Mulvaine, San Bernardino; S. C. Evans, Riverside; W. P. Mansfield, Brawley; J. C. Thamer, Fullerton; R. Y. Williams, Z. B. West, W. B. Williams, N. T. Edwards, J. C. Burke, Walter Eden and T. E. Stephenson, Santa Ana. But three of these from each county are on the central committee. San Diego county had no representative present. The resolution was presented by S. F. Kelly, and was adopted, with an amendment to the effect that the res- bolizing the present war. The $1 note will have on its face a portrait of George Washington, who fought and won our first war for freedom, and on the reverse side an eagle in warlike attitude clutching the American flag. The $2 note will bear on its face a picture of Thomas Jefferson, the greatest of our early exponents of democracy, and on the back the design of one of our new battleships that are fighting for world democracy. These bank notes, needless to say, have nothing in common with the huge quantities of paper money issued by the German government. The German paper is mere flat money, unsecured promises to pay. Deforest will no doubt invalidate that German paper. The American paper, meant to replace our present silver certificates, is issued by the federal reserve banks, backed by ample security and exchangeable for coin at any time. CITRUS CANKER CAMPAIGN IS SUCCESSFUL The federal campaign for the eradication of citrus canker in the Gulf states, the first instance of the use of federal funds appropriated specifically for the eradication of a plant disease, has established a new era in the prevention and control of plant diseases, according to officials of the bureau of plant nidustry. Throughout the extensive developments in Florida no infected trees have been found for several months. In South Carolina and Georgia the work has progressed so satisfactorily that it is unlikely that further work will be required during the coming year, while in Alabama, Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi more time will be necessary. The only method found practicable and effective in checking the spread of the disease is to burn down infected trees.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE CALIFORNIA FOREMOST IN IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES Leads Nation in Agriculture and Manufacturing Development California is the foremost state in the Union, agriculturally and from a manufacturing standpoint, is the news brought back from an eastern visit by John R. Miller, president of the California State Manufacturers association. "We can manufacture anything that is manufactured any place," declared Mr. Miller, "excepting steel—and that is of unusual significance at this time when the country is being divided into zones for home consumption of home industries." "We lead in agriculture and while we in California have not the volume of business in manufactures, as some individual states in the Union enjoy we are now working to capacity in every industry and approaching augmentation even beyond our own fondest hopes of a few years ago. "We can turn out more efficient workmen than any other state insofar as our climate is better and makes for efficiency, because of its uniformity. We have neither the extreme heat with demands for ice nor the extreme cold with pressing needs for fuel or inertia as an alternative if we suffer a coal famine. California farmers are the most fortunate persons in the world and so is the California manufacturer. "In cotton for instance, we are beginning to make the cotton trade of the world sit up and take notice and our possibilities for silk are also wonderful. California cotton is used only in the manufacture of California cotton goods and when I state that the output of cloth, yarn, thread, canvas PRICE OF SQUABS NOT CHANGED BY THE WAR Meat Situation Helped Greatly by Pigeon Breeders There is one kind of meat—and, so far as anybody has been able to ascertain, only one—that has not increased greatly in price. That one, before the war, was considered a luxury within the reach only of persons with exceptionally fat purses, but it has maintained practically its pre war price. And is now little, if any, more expensive than other choice meats. That meat is squab—young pigeon. At last squabs appear about to come into their own as an important source of meat supply. This transformation is due, in large measure, to the energy and patriotic action of the American Squab Breeders' association. The influence of that association extends to about 10,000 squab breeders, and is estimated to affect in one way or another, not less than 50,000 persons who rilse pigeons for meat. Until within the past few months it was thought that squabs had to be fattened on wheat—and it took a lot of wheat to make a good squab. But when it became apparent that the world's available supply of wheat was not sufficient to meet the world's pressing need for bread and that the success of the Allied armies depended largely on saving it, the association of squab breeders began a systematic effort to eliminate wheat-as a pigeon feed by substituting corn, kaffir, sunflower seeds and other concentrated forms of vegetable protein. The effort has been crowned with success. One squab breeder writes: "I have fed no wheat in the past six months, using whole corn instead, and..." fuel or inertia as an alternative if we suffer a coal famine. California farmers are the most fortunate persons in the world and so is the California manufacturer. "In cotton for instance, we are beginning to make the cotton trade of the world sit up and take notice and our possibilities for silk are also wonderful. California cotton is used only in the manufacture of California cotton goods and when I state that the output of cloth, yarn, thread, canvas and other kindred articles are contracted for two years ahead and that we shall use in the California cotton mills alont, $15,000,000 worth of raw cotton this year as compared with $14,000 in 1909, some idea of the volume of this industry may be gained and its appeal both to the cotton raiser and the manufacturer will no doubt be far reaching and effective. California is in need of 100,000 skilled laborers right now. "I intend putting an educational exhibit in the Pacific Coast Land and Industrial exposition—a tiny cotton field and loom that Californians may learn to know and appreciate one of their best assets. We shall have cotton pickers, and a loom which will turn out finished material." Mr. Miller is one of the board of directors of the Pacific Coast Land and Industrial Exposition, which will open at Oakland, September 9th and continue until October 6th. ENLIST IN THE NAVY The following letter has been received at this office from Chas, A. Harris, recruiting officer for the U. S. Navy in this district: Editor Gazette: Robert Boyd and Bernard LeRol Hoyt, who are citizens of your city entered the naval service at the navy recruiting station, Los Angeles, as seamen, 2nd class and will soon be serving their country at the front. The navy needs more such men in all branches. Enlistments are for the duration of the war. Draft men not called for duty may enter the navy. Your postmaster, or the navy recruiting station at 308 Union Oil Bldg., Los Angeles will be glad to furnish information at any time. Yours respectively CHAS. A. HARRIS, Ensign, U. S. N., Ret.

One of the most curious contributions that has ever reached the American Red Cross is that of $18.75 from a Sunday school of Chinese children in California to be used for the benefit of Chinese coolies in France. Owing to the scarcity of petrol in France and Belgium the American Red Cross has been compelled to spend 30,000 francs in installing an electric lighting plant at Chartreuse, which accommodates 1,000 refugees of which 250 are segregated children. It is probable that a considerable proportion of the American wounded THE KAISER'S GOLDEN CUP There is a good joke on either the American Red Cross or a prominent New York yachtman. Some years ago the gentleman won the kaiser's beautiful golden cup offered as a prize in a yacht race. It was worth $5000, the kaiser claimed, and was highly prized by the owner—until we got into the war. Recently he presented it to the Red Cross with instructions to melt it up for its metal. They put it in the crucible and found it was made of pewter, and was worth $36. RED CROSS CABLETS Paris—Five American portable laundries have been installed at base hospitals by the American Red Cross. They are a novelty in France. Children in the public school of Porto Rico are making pajamas for the use of the American Red Cross. There is one chapter of the Red Cross all Indian in membership. It is at Belcourt, N. D. An American Red Cross canteen worker in France recently shattered all records in France by serving 265 meals in two hours and a half, or an average of one meal every thirty four seconds. Since troop movements to the eastern seaboard have reached extraordinary proportions, many chapter refreshment units have surpassed the record set by the Washington chapter last September, that of serving 20,000 cups of coffee in a day. During the air raids or long range bombardments of Paris, American Red Cross ambulances have almost invariably been first on the scene of any casualties. More than 200 ambulance cars were PRESENT FOR UNCLE SAM Here's a suggestion from an exchange that might be tried in Anaheim. Why not give Uncle Sam a birthday party on the Fourth of July. We have been wondering how we were to celebrate the Fourth this year in a fitting way. Those of us full of jumping patriotism have wanted to do something. We have not wanted to waste money. Now comes a genius with an inspiration. Let us all get together on that day. Let us turn out the band. Let us march to the post-office. In a body, and every man, woman and child in town buy a stamp to be cancelled there on the spot—not a Thrift Stamp but a postage stamp. That will be a birthday fight to Uncle Sam worth while. If one hundred millions of people do that, it will be making Uncle Sam a present of three millions of dollars if all cancel a three-cent stamp.

TANGELO, NEW FRUIT PRODUCED A new type of fruit, which has been named the tangelo, has been produced by the Bureau of Plant industry thru a cross between the tangerine orange and the grapefruit, or pomelo. As a class the tangelos resemble round oranges more than either of their parents and are exceedingly variable. Two well recognized varieties have been thoroughly tested and have been distributed to cooperators for further trial. The tangelo has little acidity and resembles a tender and good flavored orange more than a grapefruit or a tangerine. "The potato is a good soldier, Eat it, uniform and all."
