OWNERS OF CARS ARE ASSISTING UNCLE SAM AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ENLISTED FOR GOVERNMENT SERVICE ALL SIGNING PLEDGE CARDS ARE SUBJECT TO CALL AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE A transportation system embracing all of Southern California and capable of furnishing hundreds of machines upon a moment's notice has been arranged for the use of the federal government by the Automobile Club of Southern California. Pledge cards requesting motorists to loan their machines for this work have been sent out to members of the Auto club and are pouring back from car owners who wish to assist Uncle Sam by facilitating the operations of the United States marshal's office, district attorney, department of justice and internal revenue department. At present an average of five cars per day is being furnished these branches of Uncle Sam's war work. The list of registrants is so large that Secretary Mitchell of the Auto club believes that no one will be called on more than once in sixty days. Those serving will not be asked to go outside of their counties, it being possible to relay parties at the various branches of the Auto club which are located at Riverside, Hollywood, El eral license is not required. However if the gross annual sales as a retailer exceed $100,000, a license is required and the necessary application blanks should be obtained immediately by applying to the department of agriculture or the license division of the United States Food Administration, Washington, D. C. 52,000 SHELLS PER DAY FROM ONE PLANT Government Factory in New Jersey Makes Huge Quantities of Ammunition Quantity if not capacity shipments will start soon from a new government shell loading factory in New Jersey, one of four such government plants each of which is larger than any similar plant in the world. When turning out 52,000 loaded shells a day under full operation the plant will use 2,000 tons of shells and explosives daily, the products of some 75 factories. More than 5,000 workers will be required. Plans contemplate the employment of a large number of women. The marking of shells to designate size, load, and range will require 250,000 operations each day. The plant has a total area of approximately 2,500 acres. More than 100 buildings, with an aggregate floor space of 1,300,000 square feet, will provide storage for shells and parts and for material. A small city, with heating and lighting plants, water and sewage systems, hospitals, firefighting plant, and restaurants, was built to house the employees. There is equipment to protect the health of those who work with poisonous gases, and a school for instruction in the loading of artillery ammunition with high explosives. The operating plant consists of 13 shell loading units, each independent of the other, with equipment for load-behind the armies from there; the rear to 'service of' cause of the difficulty in going to serve in a region having proof connotation of the war. And as for "No Man's millar in news dispatches beginning of the war, our not tolerate the name at first to call it—and 'Yankee land.'" He adds that a "surprising proportion of recruits asked in the most hazardous military service." It is exactly what we expected from our general of American youth and accounts we have had on fighting on our part of front. The entire American army its toes, eager to dash for crack of the pistol. The thought of danger or ship. OLIVE MILLING COMPANY RE-ELECTS OLIMAN MANAGEMENT PRAISED RESPONSE TO GOVEN REGULATIONS The present officers of the Olive Milling Company unanimously re-elected to meeting of stockholder week. They are: D. C.ident; R. J. Blee, vice A. Blake, secretary; Nathan Orange, treasurer; dir Edwards and John H. secretary's report showing which compares favorably years, in spite of the ditions prevailing. The pieces of machinery hailed to the plant, making it equipped to handle its duties in the cereal line. At present an average of five cars per day is being furnished these branches of Uncle Sam's war work. The list of registrants is so large that Secretary Mitchell of the Auto club believes that no one will be called on more than once in sixty days. Those serving will not be asked to go outside of their counties, it being possible to relay parties at the various branches of the Auto club which are located at Riverside, Hollywood, El Centro, Bakersfield, Santa Ana, Long Beach, Pasadena, Whittier, Pomona, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, San Diego, Visalia, Ventura, Santa Maria and Santa Monica. The work done, while absolutely devoid of danger, has a tinge of the romantic that should prove very tempting to modern "Knights of the Round Table" who are cooped up between office walls a great deal of the time. Some of the calls are for the transportation of federal prisoners while others consist of rushing officers to places where damage, supposed to have been done by alien enemies, has taken place. A great deal of the work of the future will consist of the collection of income taxes. The motor equipment thus furnished the government by willing Southern California autoists and the Auto club, would cost a small fortune if purchased outright by the government. All past records of the Auto club are left behind in the report of that organization for the first six months of 1918. During this period every department has enlarged its scope and increased efficiency. Detective John Powell states that the theft bureau has recovered 106 cars valued at $58,300 since the first of the year and 867 machines valued at $443,850 since the founding of the bureau. The Auto club's inter insurance exchange and insurance bureau have averaged $1500 a day business since January 1, 1918, thereby exceeding by far the goal of $1000 per day set some time ago. Approximately 1200 of the clubs members have taken advantage of this. 106 stolen cars valued at $58,300 recovered. 19,500 miles of road covered by scouting crews. 13,000 miles of road mapped by Club engineers. 35,610 miles covered by sign posting crews. 12,966 signs erected and repaired. 402,000 maps distributed. TREASURY CERTIFICATES United States treasury certificates of indebtedness of a new issue have been announced by E. W. Wilson, director of sales for the 12th federal reserve district and the allotment to the states of California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and Nevada is $53,000,000. The total issue is $750,000,000 and is the second in preparation for the Fourth Liberty loan. Subscriptions closed July 2 for the first issue of certificates dated June 25 and maturing October 24 with total sales in this district of $48,000,000 as compared with a quota of $53,000,000. Director Wilson believes that the second issue will be taken rapidly because the public is now better acquainted with the value of these certificates as an investment. Certificates of indebtedness of the present issue are offered at par and accrued interest; are dated July 9, with maturity date Nov. 7; and bear interest at the rate of 4½%. The certificates will be paid at maturity in cash or may be exchanged for Liberty bonds of the fourth issue. "Treasurers of public moneye, sinking funds and trust funds should consider these certificates a splendid investment, the safety of which is with for material. A small city, with heating and lighting plants, water and sewage systems, hospitals, firefighting plant, and restaurants, was built to house the employees. There is equipment to protect the health of those who work with poisonous gases, and a school for instruction in the loading of artillery ammunition with high explosives. The operating plant consists of 13 shell loading units each independent of the other, with equipment for loading 13 sizes of shells ranging from the recently developed 37-millimeter to 16 inches. On two sizes of shells the propelling charge also will be loaded, the shell and cartridge case being assembled at the plant. All other shells are assembled in France. In the construction of the shell loading units the problem was far greater than one of mere building. Immense fans have been installed to dispose of the poisonous fumes from the high explosives. When a unit is in operation the air in the loading room is changed every few minutes. Specially designed suits will be worn during the work with 'the explosives."

Approximately 1200 of the clubs members have taken advantage of this. 106 stolen cars valued at $58,300 recovered. 19,500 miles of road covered by scouting crews. 13,000 miles of road mapped by Club engineers. 35,610 miles covered by sign posting crews. 12,966 signs erected and repaired. 42,000 maps distributed. 42,000 queries answered on road conditions. 72 special road bulletins issued. 498 cars forwarded by forwarding department. $182,187.30 of insurance written at cost for members of inter-insurance exchange. $94,360.26 insurance written by the club's insurance bureau. $276,547.56 total of insurance written during six months. $60,004.70 paid out in insurance adjustments to owners of burned, stolen and damaged cars. Average of five cars per day furnished for use of federal officers. Two new branches established. IMPLEMENT DEALERS' LICENSE The department of agriculture has received many inquiries from retailers dealing in farm implements, asking if they are required to obtain a license as a result of President Wilson's recent proclamation establishing a licensing system for the farm equipment trade. Officials of the department of agriculture say that if the business is retail exclusively, and the gross annual sales (including all lines of merchandise as well as farm equipment) do not exceed $100,000 a fed- Certificates of indebtedness of the present issue are offered at par and accrued interest; are dated July 9, with maturity date Nov. 7; and bear interest at the rate of 4½%. The certificates will be paid at maturity in cash or may be exchanged for Liberty bonds of the fourth issue. "Treasurers of public money, sinking funds and trust funds should consider these certificates a splendid investment, the safety of which is without question," said Director Wilson. "Subscriptions should be made thru banks which in turn file applications with the federal reserve bank. The certificates come in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000 and $100,000. The quotas and subscriptions of the states in this district for the last issue of certificates of indebtedness follow: (Figures in thousands, i.e. 000 is left off.) Hawaii ... $ 910 $ 330 Quota Sub.

And as for "No Man's Land," familiar in news dispatches since the beginning of the war, our men will not tolerate the name at all. "They prefer to call it—and make it—Yankee land." He adds that a "surprisingly large proportion of recruits ask to be placed in the most hazardous branches of the military service." It is exactly what we might have expected from our general knowledge of American youth and from all the accounts we have had of the actual fighting on our part of the battle front. The entire American army is upon its toes, eager to dash forward at the crack of the pistol. There is no thought of danger or toll or hardship. OLIVE MILLING COMPANY RE-ELECTS OLD OFFICERS Management Praised for Prompt Response to Government Regulations The present officers and directors of the Olive Milling Company were unanimously re-elected at the annual meeting of stockholders held last week. They are: D. C. Pixley, president; R. J. Blee, vice president; F. A. Blake, secretary; National Bank of Orange, treasurer; directors, N. T. Edwards and John H. Edwards. The secretary's report showed a business which compares favorably with former years, in spite of the unusual conditions prevailing. Several large pieces of machinery have been added to the plant, making it much better equipped to handle its business, especially in the cereal lines lately so important. standing at attention during the playing of the national anthem or during the passing of the flag in parade is one that should be encouraged by every proper means. It is a practice very generally taught in the schools, in Boy Scout organizations, and by managers of theaters. The tendency of general observance of the custom is certain to be beneficial, though no man's real patriotism can be measured by his outward manifestations. In any event, nothing is to be gained by scolding and casting slurs at those who have not been trained to look upon this as an essential act on the part of a loyal American citizen. Many a man who never lifted his hat to the flag until required to do so by military regulations will follow that flag to a hero's death between Paris and Berlin. TEACH CANNING WITHOUT THE USE OF SUGAR To encourage the saving of fruit and vegetables at a time when the supply of sugar is limited, a program for canning without sugar is being carried out this season by the U.S. department of agriculture and the state agricultural colleges through the boys' and girls' clubs of the 33 northern and western states. Fruits are put up in boiling water instead of sirup, unsweetened products are canned for pie filling; fruits are made into sirup, which can be used in many ways in place of sugar; and fruit juices are also preserved by sterilizing them to be used later for making jellies, jams and marmalades. The juices are also for seasoning in general cooking and for making beverages. Sugar beet clubs have also been organized among the boys and girls in many localities, and instructions are to be given in making and use of home-made sugar beet sirup. ORDINANCE NO. 334 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION EIGHT OF ORDINANCE NO. 236 OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, ENTITLED, "AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF A CITY ELECTRICIAN AND DEFINING HIS DUTIES; REGULATING THE MANNER OF INSTALLING CONNECTING WIRE OR OTHERWISE PUTTING IN PLACE ELECTRIC WIRES, CONNECTIONS, APPLIANCES, FITURES OR APPARATUS: FOR THE INSPECTION THEREOF AND FOR THE ISSUANCE OF A PERMIT THEREFORE, PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF SAID CITY ON THE 14th DAY OF DECEMBER, 1911.

Choice, 13 cents per pound. Extra choice, 14½ cents per lb. Fancy, 16 cents per pound. The directors of the California Prune & Apricot Growers (incorporated) met Wednesday in San Jose and made the above quotations for the apricot crop now being harvested. A telegram to this effect was received by C. C. Collins Company, Santa Ana representatives of the organization. The prices are a little less than last year, as a result of the crop of the state being heavier than last year. The apricot sections of the northern part of the state have a big crop, while conditions in Orange county are just the reverse. Choice is 1½ cents less than last year and extra choice is ½ cent less. The quality of the fruit, however, is expected to bring the returns per ton up to what they were last season. C. G. Hamilton of Hemet, who is one of the directors, gave an address to apricot growers at the Collins packing house Friday evening. Washington, June 27, 1918 Editor Gazette:—In simple justice to a group of earnest and patriotic men, I ask your attention to a few statements of fact. The House of Representatives adopted an amendment to the food production act of 1919 for bidding the payment of salaries under this act to any man who has been placed in deferred military classification on account of his employment by the department. Much publicity has been given this amendment and it has evoked much newspaper comment. The men deferred have been denounced as slackers, and the impression is conveyed that 2000 clerks in the department of agriculture, at Washington have been sheltered from military service. The facts are that only 205 men in the District of Columbia have been placed in deferred classification on the recommendation of the department, and of these, with the exception of eight administrative assistants performing responsible executive work, all are scientific or technical employees engaged in work of the most important scientific character. Much of ways in place of sugar; and juices are also preserved by sterilizing them to be used later for making jellies, jams and marmalades. The juices are also for seasoning in general cooking and for making beverages. Sugar beet clubs have also been organized among the boys and girls in many localities, and instructions are to be given in making and use of home-made sugar beet sirup. WILL MAKE BENZOL Oil companies of California are equipping their plants to manufacture benzol for the government. The companies are not to be under federal control, but will supply the war industries, first, the remainder of the product to be used for private needs. A persistent report that two plants of the Standard Oil company of California were to be equipped for the manufacture of benzol for the government was apparently confirmed by a dispatch from Washington. The report, which Standard Oil officials declined to affirm or deny, was that the plants at Richmond and at El Segundo, were to be used for making benzol, under government direction. Benzol is used in making ammunition. DEFERRED CLASSIFICATIONS Washington, June 27, 1918 Editor Gazette:—In simple justice to a group of earnest and patriotic men, I ask your attention to a few statements of fact.

MERRITT, City Clerk of the City of Anaheim. STATE OF CALIFORNIA County of Orange City of Anaheim I. Edward B. Merritt, City Clerk of the City of Anaheim, so hereby certify that the foregoing ordinance was introduced at a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim held on the 27th day of June, 1918, and that the same was duly passed and adopted at a regular meeting of said Board of Trustees held on the 11th day of July, 1918, by following vote: AYES, Trustees: Dwyer, Stark, Backa, McFadden and Gibba. NOES, Trustees, None. Absent and not voting: Trustees, None; And I further certify that the President of the Board of Trustees of said City of Anaheim signed or approved said Ordinance on the 11th day of July, 1918. IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of said City, this 11th day of July, 1918. It will seem strange to the people of some communities to read complaints of residents of other communities that when the U.S. flag passes in a parade most of the bystanders fail to take off their hats. Observance of this means of showing respect for the national emblem is very largely a matter of local custom. In some communities the people have become accustomed, through tactful leadership, to uncover when the flag is passing in a parade. In other communities no such custom has been established. To fail to uncover, under the latter circumstances, is no indication of lack of patriotism or respect for the flag. It is no more nor less than a failure to recognize the lifting of the hat as a necessary expression of patriotic feeling. In some communities it is the almost universal practice of men to take off their hats when in the same elevator with a woman, while in other communities no such practice prevails. In the latter case the failure to remove the hat could not by any means be construed to be an indication of lack of respect for womanhood. The practice of uncovering and conveyed that department of agriculture at Washington have been sheltered from military service. The facts are that only 205 men in the District of Columbia have been placed in deferred classification on the recommendation of the department, and of these, with the exception of eight administrative assistants performing responsible executive work, all are scientific or technical employees engaged in work of the most important scientific character. Much of this work has to do with such vital war activities as the development of war gases, the testing of airplane fabrics, etc. Approximately 1700 persons, including county agents, chemists, veterinarians, meat inspectors, and experts in the various bureaus of the department, have been placed in deferred classification at the request of the department. Not one of these men was deferred on his own request. The department needs a large number of scientific men to replace those who have gone to war or who have been attracted to private employment. For instance, the bureau of animal industry needs more than 60 veterinarians in its work of meat inspection, without which the health of the soldiers especially and of the civil population generally can not be safeguarded. Let me cite you an instance of what happened in Kansas the other day. Douglas county farmers had just organized for more efficient food production, and the department in cooperation with the agricultural college and the farmers, had employed T. E. Moore, a graduate of the Kansas state agricultural college, as county agent. County Agent Moore immediately undertook to organize the agricultural activities of the county and to assist especially in dealing with the farm labor problem. He was confronted with the difficult task of providing the necessary hands for saving the county's harvest of food crops. The work was well under way when a card from the draft board announcing his call into the military service was received. There seemed to be nothing to do but to close up the Douglas county farm bureau. Another man to handle the work was not to be had. So the office was locked up, the assistant and stenographer discharged, and now Douglas county, according to a news dispatch, "will not have a farm bureau until the kaiser is licked." This is a typical case and indicates very clearly the necessity of retaining for the all important food production work some of the men with good training and experience along agricultural lines. The amendment was introduced on the floor of the house and was adopted without committee investigation. The senate committee made careful investigation by taking elaborate test- WILLIAM G. LORIGAN (Incumbent) Candidate for Associate Justice of the State of California timony and going into all the facts, and as a consequence the members present voted unanimously to kill the amendment. The fact that the department has been the subject of some heedless and unjust comment is my warrant for addressing you this personal note. Very truly yours, CLARENCE OUSLEY, Assistant Secretary. BUSY SHIPBUILDERS The Emergency Fleet Corporation party, headed by Charles M. Schwab, its director general left for San Francisco Wednesday at 8 o'clock, well pleased at the success which is crowning the efforts of Southern California to do its part in the task of building a bridge of ships across the Atlantic. Mr. Schwab's final word was that the shipbuilders of Los Angeles, Long Beach and San Diego may have contracts for just as many steel and wooden vessels as they can build, not only this year, but next year, and until the shipbuilding program is completed. No new shipyards will be authorized in the Los Angeles district this year, Mr. Schwab says. The policy of the Emergency Fleet Corporation is to raise the present yards to the highest degree of efficiency, rather than waste man power and material in doing the preliminary work necessary in the establishment of new yards. "We have authorized two new ways for the plant of the Southwestern Shipbuilding company at Los Angeles harbor. That gives the Los Angeles district 16 ways, which should turn NOTICE INVITING SEALED PROPOSALS Notice is hereby given that sealed proposals or bids will be received at the office of the undersigned, City Clerk of the City of Anaheim in the City Hall of said city up to eight o'clock P.M., of Thursday the 1st day of August, 1918 for a Street Sprinkler and two ton attachment truck in accordance with specifications therefor, which said specifications were adopted by the Board of Trustees of said city on the 11th day of July, 1918, and are on file in the office of the City Clerk of said City of Anaheim and are hereby referred to and are by this reference made a part hereof. Each proposal or bid must be accompanied by a certified check or bond, executed by two sureties or by a corporation authorized to execute bonds and undertakings by virtue of the laws of the State of California in a sum equal to 5 per cent of said bid, the same to be forfeited to the City of Anaheim if within ten days after the awarding of said contract the successful bidder should fail to execute a contract for the delivery of said Street Sprinkler and truck and furnish the bonds required. The successful bidder shall be required to furnish another and additional bond in a sum equal to 50 per cent of Street Sprinkler and truck shall conform to said specifications and be free from all latent defects. Said bond shall be executed by two sureties who shall justify in double the amount, of said bond in unencumbered property within the State of California, or by a surety company as provided by law. The Board of Trustees of said city reserves the right to reject any and all bids; and bidders may submit proposals for the furnishing of said truck in conjunction with said Sprinkler or may make separate proposals therefor, and the Board of Trustees of said city reserves the right to accept or reject any bid on either said Sprinkler or Truck separately or in combination. By order of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim. EDWARD D. MERRITT, City Clerk of the City of Anaheim, California, July 11, 1918. 7-18-3t if it can be accomplished with time and materials to spare, we stand ready to award new contracts as fast as they can be handled. I have already promised Los Angeles shipbuilders some new orders, but I'm not prepared to make them known just now, for they have not yet been figured out." The board of equalization Tuesday sustained an assessment made by the county assessor upon property owned by the Coyote Hills Land Co. That company has a one sixth interest in the oil output of some property near Fullerton. An assessment of $113,620 ed in the Los Angeles district this year, Mr. Schwab says. The policy of the Emergency Fleet Corporation is to raise the present yards to the highest degree of efficiency, rather than waste man power and material in doing the preliminary work necessary in the establishment of new yards. "We have authorized two new ways for the plant of the Southwestern Shipbuilding company at Los Angeles harbor. That gives the Los Angeles district 16 ways, which should turn ours 64,880 ton vessels during the next 12 months," said the director general. "This will be a man sized job for Los Angeles and Long Beach, but can be handled. I have already promised Los Angeles shipbuilders some new orders, but I'm not prepared to make them known just now, for they have not yet been figured out." The board of equalization Tuesday sustained an assessment made by the county assessor upon property owned by the Coyote Hills Land Co. That company has a one sixth interest in the oil output of some property near Fullerton. An assessment of $113,620 was put on the interest. The company asked that the assessment be reduced to $20,000. No reduction was allowed.

FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED Wickersheim Implement Company FULLERTON, CALIF. ORANGE COUNTY'S ROLL OF HONOR Dr. Freeman of Fullerton and County Treasurer J. C. Joplin have completed plans under which they hope to complete a permanent record to be kept at the courthouse showing the war activities of every son of Orange county who enlisted during the war in either the navy or the army. County Treasurer Joplin's office will be headquarters for gathering the data, but it remains for every person who has relative or friend in the service to see that the name of that relative or friend is enrolled on the county's honor list. This work has received the endorsement of the Associated Chambers of Commerce. Treasurer Joplin has issued a call to the people of the county to aid in making this record complete. Every person who has any near relative or friend in the service or who knows of some Orange county resident who has gone into the service and whose name might otherwise not be recorded, should fill out the accompanying blank, and send it to County Treasurer Joplin.
