GOVERNMENT TO HELP SUGAR INDUSTRY PRODUCT OF THE FACTORIES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO BE PURCHASED NEW BOARD FORMED TO CONTROL THE OUTPUT AND DIS-TRIBUTE IT EQUALLY President Wilson is advancing $5,000,000 out of his special war fund to a new sugar board organized last week. Part of this money will be utilized for buying the products of the beet sugar companies in Southern California, where the high price of beets, labor and materials has made the cost of producing sugar much higher than last year. By utilizing part of this money for taking over the total production, the price to the consumer can be reduced and the government can make a minimum profit or even absorb a marketing cost that will enable the whole sugar production to be handled without advancing the prices unduly. The president has approved the formation of this board, to be known as a sugar equalization board, under the food administration. The board is to be composed of Herbert Hoover, chairman, and George Rolph, president. The directors are Prof. F. W. Taussig of the United States tariff commission, Theo. F. Whitemarsh, George Zabriskle of the food administration, Clarence Woolley of the war trade, board and William A. Glasgow. but also for other insects and the diseases which attack the potato. Watch the young plants closely and spray with Bordeaux mixture and arsenate of lead as soon as the first evidence of the Colorado potato beetle or of flea beetles is noted. Repeat this application every 10 to 14 days, to keep all of the new foliage protected. If no insects are present and the weather is dry, the intervals between sprayings may be lengthened. As the late blight season approaches, which in the North usually is after the middle of July, a protective spraying should be given and the weather watched more closely, for if continuous showers occur, with a mean temperature of 72 to 74 deg. F., spraying every 5 to 7 days will be necessary. A system for reporting the appearance and progress of late blight should be organized in order that potato growers may be warned to increase their efforts. The formula recommended by the department of agriculture is as follows: Use arsenate of lead in proportion of 2 pounds of powdered form (or 4 lbs. of paste) to 50 gallons of water. Mix first with small quantity of water and then stir thoroughly into the full amount. If arsenite of zinc or arsenate of lime is used follow directions on package. Apply with a good pump throwing a fine mist. Cover the foliage completely. Begin spraying when the beetles first appear. Spray for slugs when the eggs are hatching and repeat as often as necessary. Write to the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Washington, for Farmers' Bulletin, 868, "How to Increase the Potato Supply by Spraping."

The board is to be composed of Herbert Hoover, chairman, and George Rolph, president. The directors are Prof. F. W. Taussig of the United States tariff commission, Theo. F. Whitemarsh, George Zabriskle of the food administration, Clarence Woolley of the war trade, board and William A. Glasgow, Jr., of the food administration. The office of the board will be in Washington. The purposes of the board, which is being chartered in New Jersey, are to equalize the cost of various sugars and secure better distribution. The arrangements will facilitate joint dealing with the allies in foreign sugars and the adjustments of differentials in overseas freight rates. The board will take charge of the distribution plan initiated on July 1 and will conduct this plan at the expense of the board. All of the stock will be held by the President for the United States government, the object being to absorb the high peaks of cost in sugar production and to make a small margin on the low cost of certain foreign sugars which may be purchased and thus secure an equalization of the price to the public on a lower level than will otherwise be possible. The arrangements will further secure an even distribution of the sugar throughout the United States. It is expected that any profits will be equalized to the consumers over the years of operations. It is expected that the price of sugar will need to increase in the latter part of the year in view of the increased cost of overseas and internal railway freights, and in view of the higher cost of production and manufacture of sugar, particularly in the increased cost of beets, bags and labor and transportation. By the creation of this board, however, it will be possible to work out a price for the public upwards of 1 cent per pound less than would be the case if price of sugar were advanced to a figure that will cover the high peaks in costs from all quarters. SPRAY TO CONTROL POTATO PESTS Insects and diseases which annually cause serious damage to the potato crop are easily controlled by the free THE HOUSEHOLD ENGINEER "The only trouble with machinery" commented the sceptical bachelor brother of the woman who was pridefully displaying her new motor washer, "is that as soon as you install a machine you have to install also an engineer with a time card to tend it." Many women have found this true of electric labor savers to their sorrow. In one large and generously run home, he electric iron and vacuum cleaner had to be locked up because the woman who came to do the laundry work and cleaning so frequently put the whole electric system of the house out of commission through her carelessness, not to mention nearly burning the house up by forgetting to disconnect the iron during her lunch time. But the answer to this difficulty is not in the refusal to install the machine. It lies in the education of the housewife along mechanical and electrical lines. It really doesn't take superhuman mentality to grasp the fact a motor must have a chance to get started before a heavy load is put upon it. Nor the fact that the reason why the iron doesn't get too hot while at work is that the work uses up the excess heat as it goes along, and that the heat will overflow the iron just as the faucet will overflow the sink if you allowed it to run without sufficient provision for draining it. Domestic service is going out. In some communities it is practically gone already. In others it is rapidly on the way. The solution of the difficulty lies almost wholly in machinery. But with the machinery must go the engineer. Learning to be the engineer is one of the present duties of the housewife. The woman now too elderly to take on new ideas will go her difficult way as of old. The younger women will adapt themselves to the new regime, but with some difficulty. But the girls should not be allowed to grow up without some knowledge of how to use modern tools.

This paper was d helm early one Sund SPRAY TO CONTROL POTATO PESTS Insects and diseases which annually cause serious damage to the potato crop are easily controlled by the free use of arsenical sprays. As a spray for the potato beetle and similar pests arsenate of lead serves the same purpose as Paris green, is much cheaper, and also has the following advantages over it: (1) It contains less soluble arsenic; (2) it is less harmful to young growing plants, and when applied properly does not scorch or injure them; (3) it adheres more strongly to the foliage and (4), it is of greater value than other arsenicals (except zinc arsenite) In that it leaves a white coating on the foliage so that its presence can be determined readily after spraying. The spraying material will adhere better to the plants if the same weight of soap as of the arsenical is used in the mixture. Either rosin, fisholl, or laundry soap may be used, preferably the former. Two or three sprayings ordinarily will be sufficient for the spring or over wintered beetles if applied before the eggs for the first brood are hatched, and about the same number for the second brood or generation. In the South one or two sprayings for the third generation, when it appears, also should be given. A combined spraying of arsenate of lead and Bordeaux mixture is recommended as being effective not only for the control of the potato beetle OVER PLUS OF MEXICANS IN VALLEY CITY Police of Fresno Concerned Over the Large Influx Mexicans are coming into this city in large numbers, according to John Goehring, chief of police, says a dispatch from Fresno and they are getting to be something of a problem for the department. In the last two weeks at least 250 have come into this section, the chief estimates, and most of them, after a few days of work, come to this city, and are idle and get into trouble until their money gives out. The chief is planning to take the matter up with Sheriff Thorwaldson and see if some way cannot be found to keep the undesirables out. The Mexicans, whole families of them, are being sent from Los Angeles, and twice recently the local chief has received telegrams from Chief Butler of the Southern city that contingents of fifty were coming through on their way to Mendota, and asking the chief here to see that the crowds were kept together while waiting here to change cars. If the laborers would go on to their work and stay, the chief says, there would be no difficulty, but as soon as the men have a little money they gravitate to this city and fill up one of the present duties of the housewife. The woman now too elderly to take on new ideas will go her difficult way as of old. The younger women will adapt themselves to the new regime, but with some difficulty. But the girls should not be allowed to grow up without some knowledge of how to use modern tools.

At the present time the chief says, the section "across the tracks," is crowded with Mexicans who have come into the city within the last few weeks and practically all of whom are doing nothing. Most of them are old enough not to be affected by the "work or fight" regulations of the draft, and it is getting to be a big problem with the police department as to what action may be best in putting these men back into active employment of some sort or other. THE NAME OF FRANCE (Henry Van Dyke) Give us a name to fill the mind With the shining thoughts that lead mankind— The glory of learning, the joy of art—A name that tells of a splendid part In the long, long toll and the strenuous fight Of the human race to win its way From the ancient darkness into the day Of freedom, brotherhood, equal right—A name like a star, a name of light; I give you France! Give us a name to stir the blood With a warmer glow and a swifter flood At the touch of a courage that conquers fear—A name like the call of a trumpet, clear And silver sweet and iron-strong, That brings three million men to their feet, Ready to march and steady to meet The foe who threatens that name with wrong—A name that rings like a battle song; I give you France! Give us a name to move the heart With the strength that noble griefs There are two types of crust for short cake that people like, one made like biscuits and unsweetened, the other like a plain sweet cake. Each kind has its advocates. Those who like shortcake made from a rich, unsweetened biscuit dough, baked in a sheet, split and buttered while hot, and with a thick layer of crushed or sliced berries sweetened and plactd between the layers of crust and on top, will like these shortcakes. Make corn flour short cake as follows: 2 cups corn flour. 3 teaspoons baking powder. 1 teaspoon salt. 4 tablespoons shortening. 2-3 cup of milk. Mix and bake in two layer cake pans. Split and butter and put in the filling of berries or other fruit. The corn flour makes a crisp cake of fine flavor. Rolled oats ground through the food chopper and mixed with corn flour also makes a good shortcake. In the above recipe use, in place of two cups of corn flour, one cup of corn flour and one and eighth cup of ground rolled oats. Or if you have barley flour, use one and three-eights cups of barley flour in place of one cup of corn flour. The difference in measurements is due to the difference in the weight of these substitutes. Rice flour short cake is similar to a muffin mixture. If baked in a sheet it also makes a good shortcake. 1¼ cups rice flour. 3 teaspoons baking powder. 1 teaspoon salt. 2 eggs. 4 tablespoons fat 1 cup milk. Mix for muffins. Those who prefer a cake foundation for their short cake will find that 'a sponge cake made from substitute flours makes a good one. Rice and potato flours are especially well adapted to sponge cakes. lice to the detriment of the flock, the hens on a farm have so much better opportunities than those in the small back yard to rid themselves of lice that a little slackness on the part of the keeper in measures to prevent lice is not likely to give the parasites such a start as the same negligence would in the case of a backyard flock. USEFUL INVENTIONS The advantage of smokeless powder besides its virtue of high explosiveness are two fold. It does not create a smoke cloud that betrays the location of the gun or gunners, and at the same time the man behind the gun is not confused for a second by a pull of smoke that obscures the range of vision in the direction of the enemy. Apparatus invented by a Paris doctor for pumping anesthetics into a person's lungs insures the administration of a definite dose. A Seattle lawyer is the inventor of a spring hammock to permit parents to take babies with them when motoring in safety and comfort. A wire frame to hold a cup securely on the edge of a plate has been invented for use where refreshments are served informally. Stainless steel cutlery contains 13 per cent chronium. The use of this ingredient in the manufacture of steel for this purpose has been temporarily stopped. Compressed cellulose piping is reported to have proved a very satisfactory substitute for metal piping for hot and cold air, corrosive acids and other materials, though not suitable for steam. A compressed air process for hardening steel where only certain portions of a piece of metal require treatment has been invented in Europe.

Attorney Sanctions Its Distribution and Citizens Demand His Removal Resolutions demanding the removal of Robert O'Connor, U. S. district attorney, are enroute to officials at Washington, charging that O'Connor consented to the circulating of an issue of the "Kingdom News," a Russellite publication, in which the Catholic church and its participation in the war is attacked. The article is pro-German according to officials of the Knights of Calumbus, who signed the resolutions. Redlands, Needles, San Bernardino Pomona and Riverside branches of the order were represented at a conference held at Redlands. At this time, say officials of the lodge, O'Connor stated over the telephone that he had consented to the distribution of this issue of "Kingdom News" after it had been examined by one of his deputies. O'Connor further stated, according to advices that as soon as he heard the K. of C. protest, he ordered distribution of the pamphlet stopped, and the recall of as many copies as possible. He holds the article referred to attacked all churches differing with the Russellite belief, instead of just the Catholic church.

KINGDOM NEWS AGAIN IN THE LIMELIGHT MISCELLANEOUS The scarcity of sacks and the consequent high price for bags will hasten the general use of grain elevators throughout California. Grasshoppers sweeping through the northern Sacramento Valley are threatening serious damage to crops, according to reports from ranchers. Rice growers of the Sacramento valley are working toward a $4.50 basis for paddy rice, an advance of about 40c a hundred on last year's price. Several counties have officially announced their intention to participate in the Pacific Coast Land and Industrial Exposition to be held at Oakland this fall. It is reported that the United States Reclamation service is preparing plans for the expansion of the Orland reclamation district by about 30,000 acres. Reports from Santa Clara valley are to the effect that the wells in the district are running very low. This being the second year of comparative drought, it is keenly felt. Compressed cellulose piping is reporttd to have proved a very satisfactory substitute for metal piping for hot and cold air, corrosive acids and other materials, though not suitable for steam. A compressed air process for hardening steel where only certain portions of a piece of metal require treatment has been invented in Europe. To distinguish bottles containing polson in the dark a sandpaper band to encircle them, with an opening for the labels has been invented. For cutting blocks of ice into small cubes an inventor has patented an electrical device that does its work with heated wires. Italians have perfected a process for making an edible oil that also can be used in soap and as an illumination, from grape seeds. The French government is encouraging experiments with a device to protect against hail, essentially a large lightning rod made of pure copper, which is said to so affect atmosphere electricity that hall stones cannot form. Cheap teaspoons are being made from compressed cotton fiber. The first self moving gun carriage was invented in France in 1769. Iron allowed with gold has been introduced as a substitute for tin in the making of cans. Japanese utilize the hides of sea lions for the manufacture of a waterproof leather which has various uses. Among the many surrogates for motor fuel carbite plays an important role. A Norwegian captain has adapted it to motor boat propulsion, and his invention is said to be a decided improvement over similar devices. Water is dropped through a tube onto the carbite and the resulting gas is conducted to the carburetor, where it is purified and driven to the motor. The cost average 21 cents per horse power hour—which is not cheap, but price no longer enters into consideration. In Hawaii it has been found that weeds can be kept down in sugar plantations by covering the fields with paper, which is easily penetrated by the sharp cane shoots. A dictaphone small enough to be carried in one's pocket has been invented and patented by a man in Washington. Operated by electricity much like an ordinary sewing machine is a Vermont inventor's machine for cutting stencile and patterns out of sheet issue of "Kingdom News" after it had been examined by one of his deputies. O'Connor further stated, according to advices that as soon as he heard the K. of C. protest, he ordered distribution of the pamphlet stopped, and the recall of as many copies as possible. He holds the article referred to attacked all churches differing with the Russellite belief, instead of just the Catholic church. This paper was distributed in Anaheim early one Sunday morning while a majority of the people were still in bed, a long, lean cadaverous man, and a long, lean, hungry looking woman being the distributers. It bore a legend, printed with a rubber stamp announcing that its circulation was authorized by the U. S. Attorney. The previous issue was suppressed and numerous distributors arrested. Why doesn't the government suppress the outfit in Brooklyn that prints this sheet. If they are opposing the war because of their religious belief drastic measures should be taken to teach them that Christianity and Patriotism go hand in hand, and the man who will not fight to protect his own is worse than an infidel. If they are spreading their insidious propaganda because of their sympathies, for or are paid by the kaiser, they should be summarily hanged. VARIOUS SHORTCAKES Here is a word to cheer the men. Shortcake, the dessert that ranks with pie in masculine favor, is not denied us. Here are some good ones, all of them wheatless. After the strawberry season make shortcakes with raspberries, blackberries, stoned cherries, blue berries, sliced peaches, sliced bananas, etc. CLEAN YARDS IMPERATIVE Cleanliness is imperative in backyard poultry keeping. Poultry in small back yards leave so much droppings on the land they occupy that unless the dropping are frequently removed the soil becomes foul. The backyard poultry keeper has to take as much pains to keep his yard sanitary as to keep the floor of the poultry house sanitary. Lack of thoroughness in cleaning and disinfecting small yards is responsible for much more disease and debility than insanitary interior ground spaces. Measures to prevent lice and mites should also be followed systematically and thoroughly in backyard poultry keeping. While the neglected farm poultry house is often overrun with weeds can be kept down in sugar plantations by covering the fields with paper, which is easily penetrated by the sharp cane shoots. A dictaphone small enough to be carried in one's pocket has been invented and patented by a man in Washington. Operated by electricity much like an ordinary sewing machine is a Vermont inventor's machine for cutting stencils and patterns out of sheet metal. Traveling machine shops, carried on motor trucks, are being used in England to repair autos broken down on country roads. Peat and chalk are being extensively used for briquetting in Canada. The peat is mixed with coal brete and then pressed into briquettes. Such fuel has been found efficient and economical. Chalk also, of which there are large deposits in Canada can be converted into a profitable fuel. If the chalk is pulverized and then combined with a certain percentage of brezee and solidified tar, the mixture being compressed into small bricks or pebbles about the size of an egg, the briquettes burn with perfect satisfaction. The fuel has the advantage of being smokeless, has a high caloric value and burns freely. BETTER SHIP LOADING Economies of approximately 20 per cent in shipping weight and 50 per cent in shipping space have resulted from improved methods of packing merchandise for overseas practiced by the army quartermaster corps. This is equivalent to about 2,500 tons of space per month. For the shipment of clothing and Men's Shirt News Soft cuff shirts for summer wear—made of silk, cotton crepe madras and percales—they are cut full body size, finished with wide shoulder yokes, faced sleeves and French cuffs, values that will be impossible to duplicate under present market conditions.

The bales average 30 by 15 by 15 inches and weight 90 pounds. They are bound with not less than four cold rolled unannealed steel straps. Burlap over water proofed paper is used to cover the bales, and there are two "ears" on either end of the bale for handling. Women are stevedores on the docks in France. There is a law they shall not be required to carry packages weighing more than 70 pounds. Packages shipped to the American Expeditionary forces are standardized so they shall not weigh more than 70 pounds for handling by one woman carrier or more than 140 pounds by two women carriers. Men handle the heavier packages and the boxes that must be used instead of bales. The Quartermaster corps recommends to manufacturers supplying the army many similar economies in packing and shipping which will result in even more pronounced space and weight saving.

ENTRAIN FOR CAMP At 4:05 o'clock Monday evening eight men were entrained at Fullerton for Fort McDowell. At noon the board of trade entertained the men at dinner, and at that time the ladies of the Red Cross presented each with a comfort bag. The contingent consisted of: Perfect Duarte, Fullerton. Leonard G. Thlerfielder, Anaheim. John W. Hobson, Anaheim. Roy C. Corless, Buena Park. Phillip S. Schiffer, Anaheim. James A. Calder, Buena Park. Louis Lae, Fullerton. John M. Robertson of Buena Park was entrained for local board No. 2 of Kern county. William E. Howell, formerly of Buena Park, now of Oakland, was entrained by the local board of district No. 5 of Alameda county. Allison W. Thompson, formerly of Fullerton, now of Guthrie, Oklahoma, Jack Hebson, who for the past five years has been telegraph operator at the Santa Fe station in this city, left Monday for Camp Fremont where he will be placed in Uncle Sam's signal corps.
