MILITARY TACTICS TAUGHT TO STUDENTS YOUNG MEN OVER EIGHTEEN MAY ENROLL IN ARMY AND TRAIN AT SCHOOL SUBJECT TO CALL FOR DUTY AT ANY TIME IN CASE OF EMERGENCY The following relative to military training in colleges, has been received at this office from the University of California: "How can I render the most valuable service to my country during the period of the war?" Every young man over 18 is asking himself this question. The war department has just offered a new answer to the question. They say: "Enter college if you are fitted to do so or return to college if you are already enrolled and enlist in the student army training corps." By enlisting in the student army training corps you will become a member of the United States army. You will receive a uniform and be given military drill under officers detailed by the war department. During the early part of your course you will receive 10 hours of military instruction a week, six of which will be drill, rifle practice, and other outdoor training, and four of which will be academic work, for which military credit is given, such as mathematics, English, foreign languages, history, science, etc. questionaire that he is already in the military service of the United States, he will be placed automatically by his local draft board in class V-D, as provided by the selective service regulations. The draft board will not call him for induction so long as he remains a member of the Students' Army Training Corps. In order that the college student may not even appear to enjoy special privileges, it is agreed, however, that when the day arrives on which according to his order number he would have been drafted, had he not already volunteered, the fact is reported to the president of the college, and to the commanding officer at the college, who in turn reports it to the adjutant general. This is the day of reckoning for the college man. The president of the college and the commanding officer will then report to the chairman of the committee on education and special training of the war department, for what form of military service the individual is, in their judgment, best qualified. They will recommend either that the student should continue his studies to prepare for work in medicine, engineering, chemistry, psychology, economics, etc., or that he should go at once to an officers training camp to prepare for an officer's commission in the infantry, artillery, etc., or that he should be assigned to work in the ordnance, quartermaster or other staff corps or sent immediately to a division at one of the camps. Lieut. Col. Rees, commander of the entire students' corps, has authority to dispose his men in the way best suited to meet the emergencies of the military and national situation at the time. The presumption is that, for the next year, the largest proportion of the student body reaching 21 years will be required to supply a large part of the officers needed for the national army. It is understood that at least four or five telle man says. He natural methods as follow.

The tree was grown planted by himself for Stenerson says, and the tree was forced it great quantities o ed near the base of six to eight feet aw By existing in the student army training corps you will become a member of the United States army. You will receive a uniform and be given military drill under officers detailed by the war department. During the early part of your course you will receive 10 hours of military instruction a week, six of which will be drill, rifle practice, and other outdoor training, and four of which will be academic work, for which military credit is given, such as mathematics, English, foreign languages, history, science, etc. You will be carefully rated both by the college authorities and by the military officers, who will help you to discover a special line of work either in the army or the industries and professions recognized by the war department as essential to the war program for which you have the greatest capacity and preference. Later in your course you will have an opportunity to specialize in a branch of training designed to fit you to become an officer of field artillery, medical, or engineer officer, an expert in some technical or scientific service, and so on. On reaching the age of 21 you must register with your local board. You may remain in college until your call is reached under the selective service law. At that time it will be decided whether you will be called immediately to active service or whether you should remain in college to complete the course you are pursuing. The decision will depend upon the needs of the service and upon your achievements. In your military work and in your studies as determined by the military officers at the college and by the college authorities. During the summer you will have an opportunity to attend a summer camp for intensive military training. Your traveling expenses to and from camp will be paid, and you will be on active duty under pay and subsistence by the war department. As a member of the student army training corps you will be subject to call to active duty at any time in case of emergency. If you desire to enter active service before completing your college training, transfer to active duty may be arranged through military channels with the consent of the military officers at the college and of the college officials. It will be the policy of the government, however, to allow you to remain in college until you reach the age of 21 or until you complete your course. Previously there have been two methods by which a young man might enter the student army training corps or sent immediately to a division at one of the camps. Lieut. Col. Rees, commander of the entire students' corps, has authority to dispose his men in the way best suited to meet the emergencies of the military and national situation at the time. The presumption is that, for the next year, the largest proportion of the student body reaching 21 years will be required to supply a large part of the officers needed for the national army. It is understood that at least four or five times as many officers will be required as the total number of students who will graduate from all American colleges and universities. Enlistment in the students' army training corps, therefore, while it does not hold out any promise of an officers' commission, is at the present time the plainest road leading in that direction. The student who shows no ability for special service in his college and military work, will be ordered into active service as a private when his day of reckoning comes. Enlistment is for the duration of the war. If, however, the student fails to improve his college opportunities, he may be dismissed from college by action of the college authorities and discharged from military service by the military authorities. He would then be subject to the operation of the draft. His enlistment may be cancelled for other sufficient causes such as sickness, lack of funds, etc., upon recommendation of the president of the college and the military officer in command at the college. Opportunity will be given for the enlisted student, who so elects, to transfer from army to navy, and vice versa, and to be assigned to active service in one of the various corps of the army upon recommendation of the college president and the proper military authority. Regular uniforms, including hats, shoes and overcoats, will be furnished all members of the students' army training corps by the government. Should Congress lower the age of liability to immediate military service, men of the new ages not already enlisted may find difficulty in entering the service otherwise than through the draft boards. In view of this possibility, all men expecting to enlist at all in the students' army training corps would do well to enter promptly.

It will be the policy of the government, however, to allow you to remain in college until you reach the age of 21 or until you complete your course. Previously there have been two methods by which a young man might enter the national service. He might either enlist voluntarily as a private in the army or a seaman in the navy, or he might remain in civilian life until called to active service at the age of 21 under the selective service law. The student army training corps represents a third method of entering the service which has special advantages for young men fitted to go to college. For further information concerning the student army training corps apply to any college which you desire to attend or to the committee on education and special training; war department, Washington, D.C. C. E. RUGH, Chairman State Committee, University of California, Berkeley, Cal. A student enlisted in the Students' Army Training Corps is in military service of the United States. Because he does not receive pay, he is classed as on inactive service. He is called to active service each summer when he attends camp for six weeks and receives the pay of a private. His relation to the draft is as follows: Any student so enlisted, though in the military service of the United States, is technically on inactive duty, and therefore must register after he has reached draft age and upon notice by the President. Upon stating on his liability to immediate military service, men of the new ages not already enlisted may find difficulty in entering the service otherwise than through the draft boards. In view of this possibility, all men expecting to enlist at all in the students' army training corps would do well to enter promptly. STUNTS WITH BEANS Perhaps it is because he is six feet four inches tall and dislikes stooping that Henry Stenelson of Sawtelle grows beans of the kinds made famous by the fairy story of "Jack and the Beanstalk." Whatever his motive, he has succeeded in producing a tremendous growth of vines giving an enormous yield of beans. From fourteen stalks of the Monstrous Lima variety, he recently harvested, over 30 pounds of beans. These beans have been producing continuously for more than a year, he asserts, having been planted in March, 1917. "Some of my vines," said Mr. Stenerson as he exhibited sample runners, "have produced over 100 feet of suckers, and have broken down two-by-four supports set solidly in the ground." He pointed out one runner containing thirteen pods, all over four inches long and some more than six inches in length. Every pod was filled with beans. In spite of their size the beans are tender and palatable. In order to produce yields of this kind, he points out, it is necessary to observe special care in irrigating. "I do not attribute my success to soil conditions nor seed selection but to the handling of the crop after the vines were above the ground," said Mr. Stenerson. His soil consists of medium heavy loam, about half way between sandy loam and adobe, and no fertilizer has been applied, the Saw- telle man says. He outlines his cultural methods as follows: The beans are planted about three inches deep in a carefully prepared seed bed, not worked down to dust-mulch, but of medium fineness. As soon as they are about three inches high, the earth is pressed firmly down around each vine. The plants are not irrigated until the leaves assume a dark green color, as long as they are yellowish or light green no water is applied. Subsequent irrigations are given according to the leaf color entirely. Whenever the leaves become dark, which, on Mr. Stenerson's land, is about once a month, a gentle, but thorough application of water is made. No weeds or leaves are allowed to remain under the plants, which are trimmed as they grow over the supports, so that the air can circulate freely underneath the vines. His beans were sprayed twice for aphis with rosin soap solution (one pound of soap to five gallons of water.) He asserts that this treatment completely destroyed the pests. In addition to his freak beans, the Sawtelle experimenter, who is a machinist by trade and follows gardening as a hobby, claims to have produced nine-pound parsnips, four feet long. He also has a black walnut tree, which although only four years old, has a diameter of five inches at the bottom and is twenty feet high, having grown six feet each year for the past three years. As the black walnut is known to be ordinarily a slow growing tree, the methods used to force this quick development are worthy of note. The tree was grown from a seed, planted by himself four years ago, Mr. Stenerson says, and he asserts that the tree was forced merely by giving it great quantities of water, not applied near the base of the trunk, but from six to eight feet away from the tree.

Another notable feature was that there was no interruption to the business of the country occasioned by the unprecedented demand upon its money resources. The Second Liberty Loan campaign opened on October 1, 1917, and closed on October 27. The bonds of this issue bear 4 per cent interest and run for 10-25 years. They carry the conversion privilege. It was announced that 50 per cent of the oversubscription would be taken. Nine million subscribers subscribed to $4,617,0a2,-000 of the bonds, an oversubscription of 54 per cent. Only $8,087,661 of the bonds was allotted. HOTEL VALENCIA Modern in Every Respect Finest Hotel in Orange County Accommodations Unsurpassed By any hotel in the Southland and prices reasonable.

Awakened patriotism has made the American people a saving people, a bond-buying people. The effect of the Liberty Loans on the national character, on our national life, on the individual citizen and our home life is immeasurable—of incalculable benefit. Not less incalculable is their effect on the destiny of the world as our ships plow the seas and our men and material in Europe beat back the Hun. The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign will begin Saturday, September 28, and close October 19. No American doubts its success; no good American will fail to contribute to its success. The blood of our men fallen in Europe calls to us; our answer must be and will be worthy of them and our country.

The first man on the list is a volunteer, who signed up for enlistment on August 6. Mart V. Hayes signed up to go to college at Logan, Utah, but was not accepted. THE LIBERTY LOANS The United States entered the war on April 6, 1917. Eighteen days later by a practically unanimous vote Congress passed the Liberty Loan Bond bill. On May 2 the First Liberty Loan was announced, on May 14 the details were made public, and on the 15th the campaign began and closed one month later. The issue was for $2,000,000,000, the bonds bearing 3½ per cent interest and running for 10-30 years. The bonds carried the conversion privilege, entitling the holder, if he chose, to convert them into bonds of a later issue bearing a higher rate of interest. Four and a half million subscribers from every section of the country, representing every condition, race, and class of citizens, subscribed for more than $3,000,000,000 of the bonds. Only $2,000,000,000 was allotted. The outstanding features of the First Liberty Loan were the promptness with which it was arranged and resources. The Second Liberty Loan campaign opened on October 1, 1917, and closed on October 27. The bonds of this issue bear 4 per cent interest and run for 10-25 years. They carry the conversion privilege. It was announced that 50 per cent of the oversubscription would be taken. Nine million subscribers subscribed to $4,617,0a2,-000 of the bonds, an oversubscription of 54 per cent. Only $8,087,661.50 of the bonds was allotted. This campaign was marked with the same enthusiastic support of the public as its predecessor. The labor and fraternal organizations were especially active in this campaign, and the women of the country did efficient organized work which greatly contributed to the success of the loan. The men in the army and navy worked for and subscribed largely to the loan. The Third Liberty Loan campaign opened on April 6, 1918, one year exactly after our entrance into the war, and closed on May 4. The bonds of this issue bear 4¼ per cent interest and run for 10 years, are not subject to redemption prior to maturity, and carry no conversion privilege. The loan was announced for $3,000,000,000, but the right was reserved to accept all additional subscriptions. Seventeen million subscribers subscribed for $4,170,019,650 of the bonds, all of which was allotted. A great feature of this loan was its very wide distribution among the people and throughout the Union and the fact that the country districts promptly and heavily subscribed to the loan, in a great measure making up their quotas earlier than the cities. Secretary McAdoo pronounced this loan the soundest of national financing. A little over a years ago there was will be worthy of them and our country. NEW REGISTRATION ORDER ISSUED TO BOARDS Alt Men Coming of Age Since June 15 Must Register George Gobar, clerk of the local exemption board, received word from Sacramento, Thursday morning, announcing that all men who have reached the age of 21 since the 15th of June last, and prior to and including Aug. 24, must register for military service. The registration office will be open two hours, from 7 to 9 o'clock P.M. on Saturday, August 24, at the headquarters in Fullerton, and all men who have become 21 between the close of the 15th day of June and the close of the 24th day of August, are required to register. Failure to report and register at the time fixed through ignorance will not be excused, and persons falling will be severely punished. Mr. Gobar states that all young men coming under this order who live on this side of the Santa Ana river in Orange county are in district No. 2, and must register at Fullerton. He estimates the number at about 50. PURCHASING AGENT PERRY RESIGNS HIS OFFICE E. T.

Betts has not accepted the position. The office of purchasing agent is one of the most important corps in the of Santa Ana, traveling man for H. W. Johns-Manville Company. Betts has not accepted the position. The office of purchasing agent is one of the most important cogs in the wheels of the county's business. It was instituted in this county four years ago as a business measure, and it has proven of tremendous importance in the handling of the county's business upon a purely business basis. After the Board of Supervisors decided to have a purchasing agent, J. S. Perry was appointed. He had had years of experience in business. His first duty was to put in a thorough system. That system is such that any person who wants to know what the county has paid for any of its supplies can find out quickly. The sheets show what officer or department gave the order, what prices were secured on bids or inquiry by the purchasing agent, of whom the purchase was made and the price paid. That Perry has operated the office successfully, fearlessly and in a business-like way none can doubt who has had anything to do with it. Recently Perry was offered a position at Butte, Mont., with a salary that was too attractive to turn down. Yesterday afternoon a special meeting of the Board of Supervisors was held to receive a recognition from Perry, whose negotiations with the Butte firm had been completed and who was anxious to get away as quickly as possible. The resignation was accepted to take effect August 19. E. T. Betts, to whom the position has been offered, has had a wide experience in buying and selling goods. He has not yet accepted the appointment. The American Red Cross sent out 21,000 articles of clothing, including 500 blankets and 2,000 sheets, during two days when thousands of refugees were pouring through Paris.
