The Weekly Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter JAMES SLEEPER FOR ASSESSOR County Assessor James Sleeper came in Tuesday afternoon to look over the political field and renew acquaintance with his numerous friends in Anaheim. Sleeper is one candidate who will poll a unanimous vote at the primary election, as he has no opponent and no enemies except the big corporations who object to their property being given a just valuation. Mr. Sleeper's reputation as a fearless official who cannot be subsidized or intimidated has extended throughout the entire state. Orange county's assessed valuation is many millions greater and its tax rate correspondingly lower because the big oil companies are unable to influence him and get their property on the tax roll at a mere fraction of its actual valuation. This year the increase in the county's assessment is ten million dollars over the previous year's valuation, eight millions of this increase being on oil property in one field. J. H. WHITAKER FOR COUNTY AUDITOR MITCHELL FOR SGHOOL SUPERINTENDENT One of the most important officials of the county is the superintendent of schools, and the man who is selected to fill the position should be chosen for his fitness and his ability to attend to the duties of the office. R. P. Mitchell has filled the requirements of this office, and is a candidate for re-election. Mr. Mitchell has proven one of the most efficient and capable men who ever filled that position in Orange county. Since his election to the office the schools of the county have improved and developed until we have an educational system not surpassed by any in the state. The advancement in our school system during his incumbency and its present proficiency are due in large part to his indefatigable efforts. He is also one of the most popular officials in the court house, having by his genial and obliging disposition won the esteem of all his acquaintances. The convention of school trustees endorsed his administration of the schools, and voted unanimously for him to become "their candidate for superintendent of schools." (Authorized Publicity.)

I desire election to the Legislature as Independent (Universal Industry), candidate for Assemblyman, 76th district, Orange county, in order to vote against the adoption of the prohibition amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

WHITAKER FOR COUNTY AUDITOR Harry Whitaker, candidate for county auditor, has made a pretty complete canvass of the county and expresses himself as well satisfied with the outlook for his nomination. "I have received promises of hearty support," said Whitaker, "in sections where I least expected it, and I feel well satisfied with the situation." Whitaker is one of the near pioneers of northern Orange county, having lived here for 33 years, the past 10 or 12 years being a resident of Anaheim. He has a large circle of friends throughout the entire county, but especially in the north, and his friends are giving him loyal support. He has been engaged in various business enterprises, through which he has made many friends, and all who know him recognize his fitness for the position to which he aspires. Mr. Whitaker is an expert accountant and declares that if elected he will run the auditor's office with one less deputy than is now employed. JUDGE BORDWELL With the campaign in its final week, Judge Walter Bordwell, of Los Angeles, candidate for the republican nomination for governor, has completed his last trip to the northern part of the state and will devote the remaining days before the primaries to the final drive in his home county. A short trip through San Diego, Imperial, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, with a couple of addresses in Orange county also are on the program. Judge Bordwell, after a conference with his San Francisco headquarters, has announced himself as well pleased with the situation and declares his chances for nomination are bright and that his strength is increasing daily. "The claim of the south that the governor should be chosen from this end of the state is receiving approval of northern voters," declared Judge Bordwell.

GEORGE BAUER, Orange and Lemon Grower in East Anaheim Precinct; Residence, 233 South Philadelphia Street, Anaheim, Cal. HAD LONG EXPERIENCE AS TEACHER IN STATE Beswick, Candidate For County Superintendent of Schools Upon the long and varied experience provided by 23 years as a teacher in the schools of this state, B. F. Beswick of Tustin, asks for the nomination of county superintendent of schools. Mr. Beswick's personal history speaks of one devoted to the cause of education both personally and by profession and as a self-made man he is especially sympathetic with the boy or girl who has the grit to gain an education against handicap. He is also appreciative of the practical value of education and the value of a practical education, and if elected his pleasure will be to help bring the schools of the county up to the highest efficiency for the accomplishment of the best usefulness. Mr. Beswick started to pursue an education at the usual age—seven years—but his ambitions were cut short at the age of thirteen when circumstances made it necessary for him to go to work. It was not till he was 23 that he entered the seventh grade of the Garden Grove school, but when he did he made a meteor course. He was by this time so "chuck" full of determination to get his education before anybody could stop him that he finished the seventh, eighth and ninth grades in one year, taking a final examination with credit in eleven studies.

"The claim of the south that the governor should be chosen from this end of the state is receiving approval of northern voters," declared Judge Bordwell. "I believe that the north-eastern candidates will receive very little support in the south. On the contrary, the north, realizing that it is twenty years since a southern man has been elected governor, will give southern candidates substantial support. A noticeable fact throughout my campaigning has been the falling off in the support given Governor Stephens. This is particularly true since his failure to act in the Mooney case. In San Francisco and the bay counties Rolph will cut deep into the vote that Stephens formerly counted upon. On account of the fact that war energies have taken many men from their home precincts, I anticipate that the women's vote will be heavier in proportion than in any other election heretofore. Many thousands of men have gone to war, other thousands are in shipbuilding, many of them having removed from their voting precincts. Harvesting crops has taken others away, and these facts, added to the usual number away on their vacations at this time of the year, will cause a large number of voters to lose the franchise. As a result there will be a heavy vote proportionately by the women of the state, and they will have much to do in determining the election.

ROLPH FOR GOVERNOR James Rolph of San Francisco covered northern California last week in his strenuous gubernatorial campaign after a highly successful and busy week in the San Joaquin valley, where he addressed enthusiastic crowds whenever he stopped. His schedule included meetings through the Napa and Sacramento valleys, with night meetings at Vallejo, Marysville, Grass Valley and Sacramento, Friday in Alameda county and Saturday closing at Richmond. "I met with one of the most coronal receptions I have ever received," said Mayor Rolph on his return from the south. "I have been told that the peo- ANAHEIM GAZETTE people who attended my meetings outnumbered those of all the other candidates put together. There was never more enthusiasm at my meetings in San Francisco than I met with at Stockton, Modesto, and other valley towns." In his speeches Mayor Rolph has reiterated that the biggest issue before the state is the care of the returned soldiers after the war and the care of the dependents of those who have made the supreme sacrifice. He also insists that women workers who are taking the places of men gone to war should receive the same wages as the men if they do the same work. He believes that a business man of experience is needed for the tasks ahead and promises, if elected governor, to carry into the service of the state whatever talent for getting things done right that his business experience may have developed. Because a wrong impression has existed in regard to his stand on health insurance legislation, Rolph has issued a statement in explanation. In this statement he says: "While I declared in favor of the amendment, I am not committed to any particular plan to carry it into effect if adopted by the people. I will strenuously oppose, however, any legislation which will tend to degrade the medical profession or impair the efficiency of its members, create an army of "panel" or salaried doctors employed by the state, or render the insured workingman the unwilling patient of a state selected or controlled physician. Former Mayor Thomas Monahan, of San Jose, prominent business man and past grand president of the Native Sons, has declared for Rolph for governor and believes he will carry Santa Clara county.

We do not eat a peach or an apricot with pleasure until it is perfectly ripe, juicy, and sweet. If canned when it reaches this condition, it is excellent without sugar and much superior to imperfectly ripe fruit canned with any amount of sugar. By allowing the fruit to become dead ripe before canning it gains in flavor, texture, and sweetness. Sugar is absolutely unnecessary for its preservation. It will keep equally well without. It is difficult for canneries to make complete use of this principle, owing to difficulties of transporting and handling perfectly ripe fruit and to an acquired public taste which insists more on the preservation of the form of the fruit and the clearness of the liquid than on flavor or nutritive value. Where it is possible to take the fruit directly from the tree to the kitchen, as in many cases of home canning, it can be used with great advantage even in normal times. A few fruits, such as free-stone peaches, are best canned as soon as possible after harvesting. Most fruits, such as apricots, pears, apples, and berries, improve in flavor, texture, and sweetness if stored a day or two, or in some cases longer, in a moderately cool, dry place before canning. Canning Without Sugar.—When fruit is canned in the ordinary way, it is surrounded in the can with a liquid consisting of water, sugar, and the juice of the fruit. The amount of sugar used depends on the acidity of the fruit and the taste of the consumer. It may, in many cases, be omitted in whole or in part, especially if care is taken in diminishing the amount of water used as much as possible. The following method is recommended: The fruit is sorted, washed, peeled, pitted, or otherwise prepared as in ordinary home canning. It is then placed in a pot on the stove with a lit- CASH AVAILABLE FOR AID OF FARMERS GOVERNMENT WILL LOAN MONEY IN WESTERN REGION TO MEN WHO HAVE SUFFERED PRIMARY OBJECT IS TO ASSIST GROWERS OVER TIME OF STRESS, AND FOOD The following statement was given out by the Treasury Department and the Department of Agriculture July 29: Acting upon the urgent representations that many wheat growers in certain sections of the West who have lost two successive crops by winter killing and drought have exhausted their resources and may be compelled to forego fall planting and, in some cases, to abandon their homes unless immediate assistance is extended, the President on Saturday, July 27, placed at the disposal of the Treasury Department and the Department of Agriculture, $5,000,000 to enable them to furnish aid to that extent. The two departments are already actively at work formulating plans for making loans under this authorization, and complete details will be announced within the next few days and operations begun. It may be stated generally that the Federal land banks in the districts affected will be designated by the Secretary of the Treasury as the financial agents of the Government to make The Pittsburgh Dispatch, with the idea in mind of getting a line on the political sentiment of the community, and representatives of the paper take a straw vote in the business district Wednesday evening. Following is the vote: Republican Ticket Rolph ... 95 Stephens ... 7 Hayes ... 4 Fickert ... 1 Democratic Ticket Rolph ... 14 Heney ... 5 Woolwine ... 1 Total ... 127 The Oakland Tribune says editorially: Candidates for state offices other than governor who have canvassed the state north and south, and whose opinions may be regarded as unbiased, agree that the republican nomination lies between Rolph and Stephens, with Rolph apparently in the lead and gaining. On account of the great demands upon his time Mayor James Rolph, Jr., will be able to fill but one speaking date in the Southland and that will be next Saturday night, August 24, at the Trinity auditorium, Los Angeles. The meeting will be preceded by an automobile parade, headed by a band, from Rolph-for-Governor headquarters, to the auditorium. The candidate for the nomination and the members of the Los Angeles business and professional men's Rolph club, as well as members of the women's Rloph club, will occupy seats in the cars, as well as on the platform. Rolph is drawing capacity audiences wherever he appears and his plea that it is one of the first duties of the state to look after soldier's dependents and after the war attend to the re-adjustment industrially and commercially of returned soldiers always strikes a responsive chord. Mayor L. Case, of Azusa, former Stephens committeeman from his district, has come out for Mayor Rolph and in a signed statement declares he clenched his hand in his presence because of its members, create an army of "panel" or salaried doctors employed by the state, or render the insured workingman the unwilling patient of a state selected or controlled physician. Former Mayor Thomas Monahan, of San Jose, prominent business man and past grand president of the Native Sons, has declared for Rolph for governor and believes he will carry Santa Clara county. The fruit is sorted, washed, peeled, plitted, or otherwise prepared as in ordinary home canning. It is then placed in a pot on the stove with a little water to prevent scorching. The amount of water added will vary with the fruit to be canned; firm fruits requiring more than berries or soft fruits. Heat slowly to boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and scorching. Allow to simmer until the fruit has exuded sufficient juice to cover it. For berries and very soft fruits, the time of boiling will be about three to five minutes and for firm fruits, about five to ten minutes. While the fruit is being prepared, heat jars, rubbers, and covers in boiling water. A large dishpan is convenient for this purpose. Ladle the hot fruit through a funnel into the hot jars and add enough of the hot juice to cover the fruit and to fill the jars completely. Any juice that is left over may be used with the next lot of fresh fruit instead of water. Place the rubbers and caps on the jars in position, but do not screw or clamp down tight. Leave the caps on the jars loose enough for the escape of steam during the sterilization process. Place the jars on a false wooden or wire screen bottom in a wash boiler or large pot containing enough water to rise to about one-half or two-thirds the height of the jars. Place the lid on the boiler and heat the water to boiling. After the water boils, continue the heating for twenty minutes for most fruits. Pears, apricots, and clingstone peaches require twenty-five to thirty minutes unless very ripe. Remove the jars and tighten the caps while the fruit is still boiling hot. Wax top cans may be used in the same way if the wax is not applied until the cans are taken from the sterilizer after sterilization. This is what is usually called the "hot-pack" method. The "cold-pack" method described below can also be used, but has certain disadvantages for this purpose as more water is necessary and the sterilization is less certain. Canning With Sugar Substitutes.—The additional sweetness required in some cases and for some tastes can be obtained by the use of sweet substitues The primary object of this fund is not to stimulate the planting of an increased fall acreage of wheat or rye in the severely affected drought areas, or even necessarily to secure the planting of a normal acreage, but rather to assist in tiding the farmers over the period of stress, to enable them to remain on their farms, and to plant such an acreage as may be determined to be wise under all the conditions, with a view to increase the food supply of the Nation and to add to the national security and defense. It is distinctly not intended to be used to stimulate the planting of wheat or any other grain where such planting is not wise from an agricultural point of view and where other activities are safer. It is not intended that this fund shall be used to make loans to farmers who have banking collateral and can otherwise secure loans. The recent action of the War Finance Corporation, indicating its willingness to make advances to banks and trust companies which have made loans to farmers and cattlemen, should ease the general financial situation and in large measure enable bankers to extend accommodations to farmers having such collateral. Banks are urged to avail themselves of the offer of the War Finance Corporation. This fund, because of its limited amount, will be used necessarily principally in connection with the fall planting of wheat, or of preferred substitute grains in the areas involved. This will not exclude consideration of cases of individuals who do not intend to or who can not engage in fall seeding, who night otherwise be compelled to abandon their homes and make great sacrifices, provided sufficient funds are left after considering the recovery fall planting needs.

It may be stated generally that the Federal land banks in the districts affected will be designated by the Secretary of the Treasury as the financial agents of the Government to make the loans and to collect them. The Department of Agriculture, through its special officers, including the county agents, will ascertain the needs of the individual farmers and determine the feasibility of the planting. The primary object of this fund is not to stimulate the planting of an increased fall acreage of wheat or rye in the severely affected drought areas, or even necessarily to secure the planting of a normal acreage, but rather to assist in tiding the farmers over the period of stress, to enable them to remain on their farms, and to plant such an acreage as may be determined to be wise under all the conditions, with a view to increase the food supply of the Nation and to add to the national security and defense.

Mayor L. Case, of Azusa, former Stephens committeeman from his district, has come out for Mayor Rolph and in a signed statement declares he has made the change, because in his opinion, Rolph of all the candidates is the only one who stands for real progressive principles. "The city of Azusa," he states, "is reaping the benefits from the appointment of the railroad commission through the reduction of electric energy and gas rates. Yes, they are expensive commissions as far as the big interests are concerned, but they are a Godsend to the common people. I believe Rolph represents the Abraham Lincoln type of man who believes as Lincoln did that 'The Lord must have loved the common people because he made so many of them.'" While Rolph's Southern California representatives are making no forecasts there is a quiet air of optimism prevailing at his headquarters. "We're too busy to talk about forecasts. The counting of the votes will tell the story," declared Campaign Manager Fred Churchill. HOW TO CAN FRUIT WITHOUT USING SUGAR Experiment Station Makes Some Suggestions on Conservation All fruit which is agreeable to eat fresh without sugar is also agreeable to eat when canned without sugar. This applies to most fruits when they are thoroughly ripe. Anaheim Union Water Co. RUN NO. 5 STARTS SEPT. 1st, 1918. ONE HOUR OF 100 INCHES TO THE SHARE All Rented Stock Must be Transferred and in the Office on or before September 1st, 1918. This fund, because of its limited amount, will be used necessarily principally in connection with the fall planting of wheat, or of preferred substitute grains in the areas involved. This will not exclude consideration of cases of individuols who do not intend to or who can not engage in fall seeding, who night otherwise be compelled to abandon their homes and make great sacrifices, provided sufficient funds are left after considering the pressing fall planting needs. The loans will probably not be made for more than $3 an acre, and it is likely that a maximum of 100 acres in some localities and of 150 in others will be established. In addition to paying a reasonable rate of interest, each farmer will be required to contribute to an insurance fund out of the proceeds from the sale of his crops if his operations are successful. The following statement, supplementary to that issued July 29, was given out August 1 by the Treasury and Agricultural Departments, explaining how loans will be made to farmers in certain drought-stricken areas from the President's special fund. The areas now under consideration are those in the Northwest and Southwest, where two successive crop failures have resulted from severe drought and winter-killing. The money will be advanced as a loan in cases of necessity upon the crop of wheat or substitute grains planted. No loan will be made in excess of $3 per acre, and no applicant will be financed beyond 100 acres. Therefore no loan will be made in excess of $300. Notes given will bear 6 per cent interest, payable in the southern districts October 1 and in the northern districts November 1, 1919.

They will expect the co-operation of local banks in the taking of applications, forms of which will be supplied on request, as soon as they can be printed. Banks and other local agencies assisting will be asked to contribute their services for the good of their several communities. The determination of the question of making each loan will, in the first instance, rest with the Department of Agriculture, which, through its various agencies, assisted by farm loan associations and other local farmers' organizations, will investigate each application. Applicants must agree to use seed and methods approved by the Department of Agriculture, and the money will not be advanced until the crop is planted and a representative of that department certifies to the Federal land bank that the applicant has completed his planting in proper manner and with proper seed. Upon the receipt by the Federal Land bank of such certificate, applicant will be required to give note and chattel mortgage on the crop planted. In order to give applicants a basis for temporary credit, to assist in obtaining the seed, the Department of Agriculture will promptly investigate all applications, and as oson as approved the Federal Land bank will issue a statement of approval to the effect that the money will be advanced when the crop is planted and the necessary certificate and note and mortgage are executed and delivered. The machinery of the Treasury Department and the Department of Agriculture for this work is already in existence and will be put in motion at once, and no substantial delays will result if the interested communities do their own part propmtly. Banks wishing to assist their communities in this matter should at once communicate with the Federal Land bank of their district. The plan is to assist only those who have exhausted their resources. No loan will be made to any farmer who has unincumbered real or personal property sufficient to secure a loan of $300. In such cases country banks are urged, as a matter of public service, Remember that vegetables have their own particular part to play in the diet, which neither meats nor cereals nor fruits nor sweets can play. Green Corn Pudding.—This is a delicious way to serve either sweet corn or the tender field corn. A little sugar may be added to the field corn, if desired. Husk and silk 12 good-sized ears of corn. Slice off half the kernel with a sharp knife, and with the blunt edge of the knife, scrape out the milky part that remgins on the cob. Add a tablespoon of butter, salt, and pepper, and ¼ cup of milk. Bake for 45 minutes, allowing it to brown on the top. This makes a creamy dish, which is best served in the pan or baking dish in which it bakes. Buttered Carrots.—Wash and scrape small carrots and cut in narrow strips. Cook three cups of the carrots in just enough water to cover. When carrots are tender and only a small amount of water remains, add a tablespoon of butter. Cook slowly until almost all of the remaining water has evaporated. The carrots will have a delicious flavor cooked this way and none of the minerals will be wasted. String beans cut in halves lengthwise or parsnips cut in strips, are also good served this way. Uniforms or badges for Home Service workers were tabooed by the American Red Cross Directors of Civilian Relief who recently met in conference at Washington. It was their unanimous opinion that the real purpose and strength of their accomplishment lies in maintaining a civilian status and rendering service without public notice or advertisement.
