HEAVY INCREASE IN EXPENDITURES OF ALSTATE CALIFORNIA STANDS SECOND IN PER CAPITA OF ITS GOVERNMENT MANY UNNECESSARY AND COSTLY COMMISSIONS THAT LEGISLATURE SHOULD ABOLISH When a department in a large organization shows an increase of 637 per cent it is time for the stockholders to show a real interest in the reason for this tremendous increase, is the opinion of President W. A. Barker of the Association for Betterment of Public Service, when the report of the expenses during the past year of the forty two fat commissions was submitted to him by Secretary H. M. Burgwald. This seemingly abnormal increase is given in this report as that of the department of health and sanitation, and covers the period between 1902 and 1917. Two departments of the state administration even run higher than this. Under the heading, "conservation and general resources," an increase of 776 per cent is shown, while the department known as the debt service shows an increase of 665 per cent. The department known as protection to personal property and having a number of commissions under its direct supervision shows an increase of 453 per cent, while the pub- They met on Sunday at Santa Monica and Miss Knight was persuaded to marry her sailor lover.

ANOTHER SPEED MANIAC HANDED TEN DAYS Los Angeles Man Scared Everything Off the Highway When He Opened the Throttle F. H. Carr, bookkeeper for the Randolph Marketing company, has been sentenced to ten days in jail for speeding fifty two miles an hour. He has taken an appeal and his attorney J. H. Miller of Los Angeles, hopes to rid his client of the incubus that Justice Cox has placed upon Carr's movements. Carr has been living in Los Angeles, more recently at Turlock. He says he was returning from Imperial when he was arrested by Motorcycle Officer Ballard. According to the testimony, the speeding case was flagrant. Ballard said that he saw Carr go by, and gave chase. He followed Carr for a mile and a half before he stopped him. "Why did you have to follow him that far?" asked Cox. "He was taking up the whole road," said Ballard, "and I was afraid he run into me. I had to wait until I could get along side with as little risk as possible. He ran a woman with a baby buggy off the road, and he ran an automobile clean off the road, too." Ballard said that men in the machine with Carr were bloody as though they had been fighting and he thought they had been drinking. He did not know that Carr had been drinking. Mrs. R. L. Carry and Oswald Staples of the Irvine ranch testified and covers the period between 1902 and 1917. Two departments of the state administration even run higher than this. Under the heading, "conservation and general resources," an increase of 776 per cent is shown, while the department known as the debt service shows an increase of 665 per cent. The department known as protection to personal property and having a number of commissions under its direct supervision shows an increase of 453 per cent, while the public works department follows closely with an increase of 409 per cent. In this report the executive branch of the government at the beginning of the period covered by the statement showed an expense of $241,422.44, distributed among eleven sources. In 1917 itemized in the report there were nineteen sources of expense, and the aggregate disbursement was $1,187.876.07, an increase of 392 per cent. During the last four years the increase over the preceding four years it states as $86.54 per cent. Secretary Burgwald states that this report is given as dealing in expenses, which include salaries and other operating overhead, and does not include outlays for material, improvements, etc. One of the largest increases in the executive branch is listed under the head of "printing office," and the increase percentage as listed is 692 per cent. Special note in the report is given to the purchasing department of the executive branch, which gives an increase in expense of 458 per cent for the period between 1916 and 1917. The department of education is credited with bearing one of the smallest increases of the entire number of governmental departments. The increase in the administration expense of this branch of service is given at 121 per cent for the term between the years 1902 and 1917. The report shows that in almost every department many commissions were added, particularly so since 1912, and with each commission added thousands of dollars additional were piled up on the cost of operating the state government. The Association for Betterment of Public Service, through President W. A. Barker, asks for the cooperation of every business man and every citizen who is registered for the primary election, to do their utmost to place men in the state legislature who will work for a reduction of these state expenses and thereby reduce taxation. The cost of administration in California today ranks second highest in the said Ballard, "and I was afraid he run into me. I had to wait until I could get along side with as little risk as possible. He ran a woman with a baby buggy off the road, and he ran an automobile clean off the road, too." Ballard said that men in the machine with Carr were bloody as though they had been fighting and he thought they had been drinking. He did not know that Carr had been drinking. Mrs. R. L. Carry and Oswald Staples of the Irvine ranch testified that the machine in which they rode had to get off the road for safety. Carr testified that he did not think he was going over thirty miles an hour. HUNTERS WILL HELP THE MEAT SUPPLY Estimates founded upon the incomplete returns of past years indicate that 15,000 is a conservative figure of the annual deer kill in California, and as the average buck represent perhaps a hundred weight of the choicest meat known to man, the rifles of the hunters may be said to turn in 750 tons of venison every year. Since this wild meat costs no labor or money to produce, but rears itself, and is therefore clear profit to the nation, the war has lent a patriotic aspect to the activities of the hunter, who reaps the crop that none has sown, and turns the waste lands into the public accounts.

The cost of administration in California today ranks second highest in the United States. Thousands of representative citizens and business men have already allied themselves with this association for sane legislation by electing sane legislators and the abolishment of unnecessary commissions, the weeding out of office holding parasites and the eliminating of extravagance in state and local government. EARLY HOURS FOR CUPID Deputy County Clerk J. M. Backs and Justice of the Peace J. B. Cox are kinder to the victims of Cupid, who wish to be wedded in the wee smal hours of the morning, than is "Cupid" Sparks, well known marriage license man of Los Angeles. The principals in the early morning nuptials Monday were Navy Chief Electrician Clyde A. Howard and Miss Florence Bryan Knight. They arrived from Los Angeles at 2:30 a.m. Monday, called at the residence of J. M. Backs and he solicited the services of obliging Judge Cox and ten minutes later the young folks were man and wife. The course of true love for the couple has not been running very smoothly for the past five years. They have been dodging each other about the country and letters went astray. Reports of early relief substantiated. Merit doubly proved by test of time. Let an Anaheim citizen speak. Mrs. A. Backs, 228 N. Lemon St., says: "Some time ago I had trouble with my back and kidneys. I was always bothered mostly during the summer and I believe the drinking water had a great deal to do with it. When on my feet my back was most painful and any over exertion made it worse. I felt tired and languid and my kidneys didn't act properly. I tried different remedies, but didn't get any relief until I used Doan's Kidney Pills. They brought prompt and thorough relief and I have kept them on hand ever since." (Statement given August 9, 1909.) On February 15, 1916, Mrs. Backs said: "I am never without Doan's Kidney Pills. I am as strong for Doan's now as when I endorsed them before." Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Backs had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.-Adv. MEANDERING HORSE After wanderings, a horse owned by George White has been recovered. Sunday night he wandered away from Newport Beach, hitched to a buggy. About midnight that night S. Tenick, a driver for the Crown Stage, saw the horse west of town. Tenick thought the driver was asleep in the buggy and he yelled to him to wake up. The next day Tenick recognized the horse standing at some trees north of the Ford place on the Anaheim road. Later in the day he saw the horse in the same place, and he decided to investigate. He found the vehicle hooked into a tree, so that ANAHEIM GAZETTE horse could not get away. Tenick watered and fed the animal and did the same thing the next day. He then turned the matter over to Deputy Sheriff Cravath, who placed the horse in the stables at Fifth and Spurgeon, where he was told that the owner had a rig rented and was away looking for that very out fit. Thursday morning the owner returned and found his horse at the stables. WHEAT SUBSTITUTES The following recipes have been sent out by the United States Food Administration after being thoroughly tested and approved by that department of the government: Ground Rolled Oat Muffins: 1 2-3 cups ground rolled oats. 1 teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 tablespoon fat 2 tablespoons syrup 1 cup milk 1 egg Mix the dry materials together. Add to the cup of milk the melted fat, syrup and beaten egg. Combine these two mixtures, stirring lightly without beating. Bake about 30 minutes in a moderately hot oven (425 deg F.) Make eight large or 12 to 16 small muffins. Grind your rolled oats in a meat grinder. Combination Substitute Muffins: 1 cup milk 1 tablespoon fat 2 tablespoons syrup 2 eggs 1 teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons baking powder. 1½ cups barley flour ¾ cups ground rolled oats. Add to the cup of milk, the melted fat, syrup and the slightly beaten egg. Sift the salt, baking powder and flour together. hundred million dollars for the first fifteen months we were actually in it. The treasury figures $500,000,000 a month as necessary to finance purchases by our allies in this country, but in June the amount needed was only $236,000,000. Our own war activities now require about $50,000,000 a day. NEW BONDS AUTHORIZED Congress has authorized the issuance of $8,000,000,000 bonds and an additional loan to the entente allies of $1,500,000,000. The bill was recommended by the treasury department and was adopted without opposition. It will be the basis for the Fourth Liberty loan which will be offered for subscription in October, according to present plans. This will increase the authorized war loans to $22,000,000,000. The new loon will bear not to exceed 4¼ per cent interest. The people of the United States have subscribed not only willingly but with great enthusiasm to all previous issues, in addition to caring for the $2,000,000,000 war savings stamps, and liberal contributions to war relief organizations. They will be ready to subscribe for the Fourth Liberty Loan—and as many more as are required to carry on the war to victory. The American people are "enlisted for the war," and will never fall back or relax their efforts. Final compilations of Third Liberty loan subscriptions show a total of $4,176,516,850, an increase of $6,497,200 over the total officially estimated last May 18, after the loan campaign officially closed.

GROWERS SHOULD IMPROVE THEIR BEAN VARIETIES Not a Difficult Problem, Says Farm Advisor Hodgson Our present varieties of beans are not satisfactory in many particulars and there is room for considerable improvement, says Robt. W. Hodgson, assistant farm advisor of Los Angeles. For our intercropping districts the Lady Washington and Blackeye have proven themselves the best varieties during the last two or three years. Where the trees are young, or in orchards where they are far apart, giving plenty of sunshine, the Blackeye is very satisfactory, although relished somewhat more by rabbits than other varieties. The Lady Washington has proven the best utility bean for intercropping on account of less injury from rabbits and the fact that it requires much less sunshine than the Blackeye and is therefore well adapted to growing among older trees where the land is well shaded. Nevertheless, it is not entirely satisfactory on account of the fact that it is at least ten days later in maturing than the Blackeye. Late planting for the Lady Washington variety has almost uniformly proven most satisfactory for two reasons, one that hot weather during the blooming period, which is very undesirable, is thus usually avoided, and also because later in the season the soil is warm and the plants are less apt to be stunted by cool weather, but grow along to maturity without any setbacks. But along with late planting comes the risk of early rains or frosts, which are apt to catch the beans at a bad time and cause considerable loss. What is needed is a white bean similar to the Lady Washington and with its shade resisting quality, but maturing in about the same period as the Tepary or the Blackeye, which is about ninety days. In the Tepary we need a variety which does not shatter so easily. In the Henderson Bush Lima we need a variety which will mature earlier and shatter less. And so it goes. With practically all of our bean varieties we would like to have superior value. Many of our present bean varieties originated in this manner, occurring as single plants in a bean field differing from all the others and recognized as of value by the farmer and saved for seed. Thus the Henderson Bush lima originated as a single plant in a field of beans at Lunchburg, Va.; in 1883. The Kentucky Wonder Wax bean originated some years ago in this manner in a garden in Los Angeles. The Lewis lima represents a selection of this sore. In 1902, Pasqual Scolari, a Swiss farmer in the Lompoc valley noticed that a certain plant in a field of small white beans matured somewhat earlier in the season than its neighbors, and yielded an unusually large number of peculiarly tinted, purplish pods. He saved the seed and from this plant rame the Blue Pod bean which is now rapidly displacing the Small White in Santa Barbara county. It behooves every bean grower to go over his field carefully several times during the season, particularly after the pods have set, and mark all those plants which differ materially from their neighbors, keeping watch particularly for desirable qualities such as high yield, earliness, bush type, and lack of shattering. The seed from such plants should be gathered and that from each plant kept separate and planted the following season in a row by itself. In this way the farmer can check up on the plants and measure the yield and keep track of other desirable qualities. If a selection proves desirable, it can be grown for seed until a sufficient quantity for commercial planting is obtained. There need be no fear of bean varieties running out for as pointed out above the TWELVE BILLION DOLLARS On June 29 the army appropriation bill carrying $12,089,000,000—the largest single budget in the history of the world—was passed by the United States senate without a roll call. Many will not understand why the odd change, or "chicken feed" of $89,000,000 was put in the bill, but no doubt the war department can find some use for it. In times of peace the government has been spending less than one billion dollars annually, but in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918, our government's actual outlay was a little more than $12,600,000,000 for the army, navy, shipbuilding program, airplanes, coast defense, other government activities and needed loans to our allies. Adding the $1,200,000,000 spent by the government in the three months of war preceding July 1, 1917, the war cost us thirteen billion, eight and cause considerable loss. What is needed is a white bean similar to the Lady Washington and with its shade resisting quality, but maturing in about the same period as the Tepary or the Blackeye, which is about ninety days. In the Tepary we need a variety which does not shatter so easily. In the Henderson Bush Lima we need a variety which will mature earlier and shatter less. And so it goes. With practically all of our bean varieties we would like to have superior varieties, of course, the prime quality desired being heavier yield. The improvement of bean varieties is not the difficult problem that it is in the case of some other plants. The bean is naturally self pollinated; in fact it is quite difficult to cross pollinate it, so well is it protected by nature. This quality results in all of the progeny of a single plant coming true to type, and resembling the parent plant. This is not the case in cross pollinated plants such as corn, where the kernels from a single ear may give rise to a large number of kinds of plants depending upon the nature of the plant from which the pollen came. Hybridization or crossing being so difficult in beans, is, therefore not to be so difficult in beans, is, therefore not to be considered as a practical method for bean improvement. It constitutes a field for the expert only. However, there is a field for the farmer or amateur and that lies in the selection of chance sports or mutations which occur. The bean family is very productive of such sports, which represent sudden changes in the germinal constitution of the plant. We do not know the cause of these sports, but the important thing is that they occur fairly frequently and furnish the practical means for bean improvement. The most common way of preparing mush is to allow the water to come to the boiling point and to add the meal slowly, stirring constantly.

A better method, therefore, is the following: Put the corn meal, cold water and salt together in the top of a double boiler. No stirring is necessary. Put the top of the double boiler into the lower part and allow the mush to heat slowly, cooking half an hour, or longer, if convenient. Many people cook it as long as four hours. Just before serving remove the top of the double boiler from the lower part and boil the mush for two or three minutes. In boiling it at this time there is no danger that it will lump. Corn Meal Mush. Method No. 1— 1 cup corn meal. 3½ cups water. 1 teaspoon salt. Bring the salted water to the boiling point in the top of a double boiler. Pour the corn meal slowly into the water, stirring constantly. Cook 3 minutes. Put the upper part of the boiler into the lower part and cook the mush half an hour and as much longer as convenient. Long cooking improves the taste and probably adds to the thoroughness with which the mush is digested. The housewife who has no double boiler can make one by using two saucepans of such size that one can be set inside of the other. Method No. 2— 1 cup meal. 1 teaspoon salt. 3½ cups water, or 4 cups milk, whole or skim, or dining dish and bake 2 hours in slow oven; serve with cream. This serves eight people. Corn Meal and Fig Pudding— 1 cup corn meal. 1 cup molasses. 6 cups of milk (or 4 of milk and 2 of cream). 1 cup finely chopped figs. 2 eggs. 1 teaspoon salt. Cook the corn meal with 4 cups of the milk, add the molasses, figs and salt. When the mixture is cool, add the eggs well beaten. Pour into a buttered pudding dish and bake in a moderate oven for 3 hours or more. When partly cooked add the remainder of the milk without stirring the pudding. This serves eight or ten people. Corn Meal and Apple Pudding— For the figs in the above recipe substitute a pint of finely sliced or chopped sweet apples. This serves eight or ten people.
