CITY TRUSTEES IN REGULAR SESSION Continued from Page 1 dispose of the land there is no doubt that more can be realized from it than its present cost. The city has had a proposition made by Hon. P. A. Stanton to sell 100 acres of his land at $600 per acre for sewerage purposes. This offer, it is said, has been made to members individually, but the price is so altitudinal that the members sidestepped. The board informally discussed an outfall to the sea, which is about 17 miles distant. It is realized that in time some other disposition, than that now used, will be necessary to relieve the sewerage situation. The new tank at the farm is working admirably, so Mr. Steward said, but it may not fill the bill if the neighbors persisted in objecting. There is a court injunction compelling the city to abate the nuisance, and the city councilmen are doing the best they can. It may resolve itself into a case of not being able to let loose of an object already attained, and may require the services of a Philadelphia lawyer to unravel. The tax rate for the fiscal year 1918-1919 was fixed at $1.45 per $100, the rate being the same as last year. By the increase in valuations City Clerk Merritt figures that the rate will bring in sufficient funds to finance the city, even by the cutting down of the licenses. All bills are paid, excepting the cost of the new street sprinkler which the city is going to buy. It is estimated that the revenue from light and water is ample to run the city. These units are being connow be taken. However, it may be a case of locking the barn after the horse is stolen. It is said that during the past year two employees of the power plant had close calls, but no casualty has as yet ever occurred here. Outside of the electrical and police departments really no hazardous risks are taken by any of the city employees. Recently salaries have been raised, which accounts for the apparently excessive insurance rate. A resolution was passed granting a hearing on September 26 to the Pickick stage line, which asks for permit to operate their stage line through this city. This is a mere form of law, but the city is going to ask that the company use Lemon street as their route. Street Superintendent Steward reported having secured the services of Fred Greswell to paint street names at all intersections. At Broadway and Los Angeles streets the names had been painted, and the work was so neatly done, that the superintendent was instructed to have all streets so adorned. Engineer Seward was given authority to put in catch basins at each corner at the intersection of North Claudina and Cypress streets to relieve storm water. The matter of taking out insurance in the sum of $1,500 for the city barn and contents was referred to Trustee Gibbs. W. B. Allen was granted permission to move a frame building. SARAH BERNHARDT HAS AN EXPENSIVE PET Costs Her $45 Per Day to Keep Him at the Alexandra A Los Angeles paper devoted an entire column to detail of "fetes" of Sarah Bernhardt and her pet lion at the Alexandra hotel, says a correspon- The tax rate for the fiscal year 1918-1919 was fixed at $1.45 per $100, the rate being the same as last year. By the increase in valuations City Clerk Merritt figures that the rate will bring in sufficient funds to finance the city, even by the cutting down of the licenses. All bills are paid, excepting the cost of the new street sprinkler which the city is going to buy. It is estimated that the revenue from light and water is ample to run the city. These units are being constantly extended. If nothing unforeseen occurs the city will move along nicely with the rate of $1.45, as formerly. The allowance to the library was fixed at $2,000, being a raise of $500 over last year. A communication was received from George Bauer, asking that the initiative bone dry petition be returned to the petitioners and also that the petition of the wets and their bone dry ordinance be returned to them. Mr. Bauer maintains that by entertaining these petitions the council creates a precedent that may involve other lines of trade for similar action, which Mr. Bauer allows, is infringing upon a man's constitutional rights. Mr. Bauer also asks that the city be divided into wet and dry districts, of zones, each independent of each other. There was no action taken on Mr. Bauer's communication. The appointment by Engineer Steward of Marshal Wood as deputy plumbing and gas inspector, was ratified by the board. This was done, as at times Mr. Steward is called out of town, when at that very time some one might desire a permit, which usually is wanted on short notice. Trustee Gibbs, of the finance committee, reported auditing bills to the amount of $8,006, which were paid. The board has ordered that the side lights of the ornamental clusters be dimmed on Monday and Tuesday of each week, allowing only the top light for those evenings. Mr. Krause, local representative of the federal fuel administration, has charge of the regulation of the private advertising signs. The council has nothing to do with this phase of the light conservation. Ordinance No. 337, prohibiting the traffic in alcoholic liquors, with certain exceptions, was passed, all members voting affirmatively. The ordinance will be found printed in this issue. The board further discussed the putting in of sidewalks and curbs on a number of streets, which had been previously ordered. The board desires to work and move Glibbs. W. B. Allen was granted permission to move a frame building. SARAH BERNHARDT HAS AN EXPENSIVE PET Costs Her $45 Per Day to Keep Him at the Alexandra A Los Angeles paper devoted an entire column to detail of "fetes" of Sarah Bernhardt and her pet lion at the Alexandra hotel, says a correspondent of the Fullerton Tribune. It stated this "king of the jungles" sat at the table, "et" tapioca pudding and beefseak with a reporter, Mme. Yorkso and others. For the pleasure of keeping her pet in such high social standing Sarah paid $45 a day, it was stated. If the writer's memory serves him, the "divine one" came "over here" in behalf of her beloved and stricken France and its destitute people. The horrors of their struggle and suffering is blood curdling, and anyone who has a heart will respond to those worthy appeals, and are glad to be able to do so. But when we see the representative and solicitor putting up at the most expensive hotel and paying $45 a day for a pet lion, we really feel she is in dire need of Hooverizing lectures in economy, and a few in "hustle and do it yourself," from Mary Pickford. Especially when we recall the mental picture of the extreme suffering from over there and our effort at conserving, in order that we may feed them. She says "her people have put themselves on a war basis" and "they have felt the pangs and horrors of the war." We grant it. If she would drop $45 per day in the milk bottles, greater good could be accomplished. WILL MAKE EXAMINATION OF SCHOOL TEXT BOOKS All Books Containing German Propaganda Will Be Eliminated The committee of history experts to examine all text books of history for possible German propaganda has been announced by Will C. Wood, commissioner of secondary schools, acting for the state board of education. The state board provided for such a committee at its last meeting. Those who will make the official examination are Professors H. Morse Stephens, E. I. McCormac and W. A. Morris of the University of California; Professor E. D. Adams of Stanford University, and Superintendent Wm. Indication of how they may be combed was Community Labor Bureau district of Columbia and twenty-four classes as non-essential. Enclasses are called up release their unskill work. Community bureau organized throughout the Department of Law to work in close co-op draft boards.

Ordinance No. 337, prohibiting the traffic in alcoholic liquors, with certain exceptions, was passed, all members voting affirmatively. The ordinance will be found printed in this issue. The board further discussed the putting in of sidewalks and curbs on a number of streets, which had been previously ordered. The board desires that owners attend to the work, and will give them a reasonable time, but in case of failure to do so the city will do the work and charge it up to the owners. Clementine street has been cleaned up and Melrose street has been improved, but there yet remains some persons who will have to make the improvement. The city engineer and attorney were instructed to go after Kroeger street and order owners to get busy, or the city would. A communication was received from the Salt Lake Railway Company, asking that the sidewalk and curbs be not ordered along their property on Atchison street. The street superintendent was instructed to take this matter up with the railway officials with a view to having the work put in as per previous order. Chairman Gibbs, of the finance committee, reported that Marshal Wood had offered the use of his car for $25 per month, and by so doing one man could be dropped from the force. This is retrenchment. Accepteed. The policy received from the state insurance and compensation commission, calling for a rate of $1,600 upon the computed $39,000 payroll of the city, was ordered returned. The rate is considered high. The council figures as no hazardous risks are taken by city employees the insurance will not examine all text books of history for possible German propaganda has been announced by Will C. Wood, commissioner of secondary schools, acting for the state board of education. The state board provided for such a committee at its last meeting. Those who will make the official examination are Professors H. Morse Stephens, E. I. McCormac and W. A. Morris of the University of California; Professor E. D. Adams of Stanford University, and Superintendent Wm. J. Cooper of the Piedmont schools. These experts will make a report at the September meeting of the state board. Any text containing open or insidious propaganda favoring Germany will be stricken from the official state list of approved text books and will have to be discarded by the individual high school using it. That many schools will anticipate any action by the state board is shown by the careful examination of text books now being carried on generally by the principals and teachers all over California. This examination is being made at the suggestion of the state authorities and will undoubtedly result in many schools discarding offending modern European and American histories before being ordered to by the state board of education. It is charged that a part of the German propaganda has been an unfair treatment of England in texts of United States history. Similar investigations are going on all over the country, principally at the instigation of the national committee of patriotic societies in Washington. Agents of the deaprtment of justice have looked over texts in some large Eastern cities, notably at Grand Rapids, Michigan, where the text of mod- TRANSPORTING The world has been great number of transported to Europe year.

NON-ESSENTIAL WORK CLASSIFIED BY BOARD One Million More Men Needed by the Government in War Work The fact that there is now a shortage in war work of 1,000,000 unskilled laborers and that the reserve of skilled workers is exhausted developed Wednesday at a conference of field agents of the Federal employment service. Further curtailment of non-essential production is planned to release men for war work. The labor shortage is so serious that completion of a number of important war projects for the army and navy is being delayed, it was stated at the conference. The field agents decided that the only way in which the needed laborers could be secured was to take them from non-essential industry. "The time has come for the entire nation to realize that business as usual is no longer possible," Nathan A. Smith, assistant director of the employment service, told the conference. "If we are to end the war quickly the production of luxuries and non-essentials in this country must come to an end. It is a question of ending the war quickly or having it drag on indefinitely." Indication of how the non-essentials may be combed was given when the Community Labor Board of the District of Columbia announced a list of twenty-four classes of work regarded as non-essential. Employers in these classes are called upon to voluntarily release their unskilled labor for war work. Community boards are being organized throughout the country by the Department of Labor, and they are to work in close co-operation with local draft boards. PREACHER DENOUNCES SUNDAY CLOSING LAW Says Observance of a Day of Rest is a Matter of Religious Belief Sunday closing laws were roundly scored by Elder William M. Healey, of San Diego, religious liberty secretary, at the Seventh-day Adventist camp meeting at Santa Ana, where he declared no legislature or city council has any right to enact a law compelling Sunday rest or Saturday rest, since it is a religious matter, and the decision should rest entirely between a man and his God, and is not a question over which any civil government has jurisdiction. He pointed out that the argument, "The majority ought to rule," does not hold good in religious matters, for the constitution was formulated for the purpose of preventing the majority from overriding the rights of the minority to life and religious freedom. He declared God stands by the individual in his right to worship according to conscience and to keep whatever Sabbath he chooses. "To suppose that civil government is to reform people is a great mistake," said the speaker. "Civil government is to protect, not to reform. The American government is the best the world ever has seen. Our Declaration of Independence is the most noted state paper in the world. I believe the hand of the writer of that document was guided by the power of the spirit of God. This is about the only government on earth that was not founded on the idea that the province of civil government was to reform men. If under a reform regime the man doesn't reform, what will you do? Send him to the penitentiary? You wouldn't have room enough to hold them all, and the rest of the people would have to spend all their time making pea soup to feed them. "No, friends, the gospel of Jesus Christ is to reform men. That is not often too acid. The acidity may be diminished by adding two level teaspoonfuls of precipitated chalk to each gallon of juice while boiling hot. After stirring for several minutes, the juice is strained through a good jelly bag and is then ready to use as a substitute for syrup in canning. The chalk can be obtained cheaply at a drug store and is perfectly harmless. Instead of chalk, baking soda may be used in the same proportion and without straining. Very ripe grapes in the hotter regions do not usually have an excess of acid. GOAT ASSOCIATION FORMED AT POMONA Efforts Will Be Made to Popularize the Nanny An enthusiastic meeting of the goat owners of this section of the state met Friday afternoon at the pergola in Ganesra Park, Pomona, and effected an organization which is to be known as the "Clitrus Belt Milch Goat Association." The membership will cover owners over all the citrus territory of Southern California, including all the territory from Riverside to Puente, and from Anaheim to Covina and Glendora. The object of the association is to bring the wonderful milch goat into prominence and to further the industry. J. Lenert, of Chino, the veteran goat owner of this state, was chosen president; Mrs. William True, of La Verne, vice-president; Mrs. May A. Coates, of Pomona, secretary; Mrs. W. A. Baumgartner, of Pomona, treasurer. Another meeting will be held September 7 at the pergola in the park, at which date there will be a picnic lunch at noon and the business meeting at 2 o'clock. At this meeting the matter of being represented at the coming fairs at Riverside and Los Angeles will be taken up. A communication was read from J. Indication of how the non-essentials may be combed was given when the Community Labor Board of the District of Columbia announced a list of twenty-four classes of work regarded as non-essential. Employers in these classes are called upon to voluntarily release their unskilled labor for war work. Community boards are being organized throughout the country by the Department of Labor, and they are to work in close co-operation with local draft boards. Following are the industries which the district board, the first to make an announcement, has listed as non-essential: Automobile industry accessories, drivers of pleasure cars, cleaning and repairing and delivery of same; sightseeing cars, auto trucks, other than those hauling fuel, or doing government work; teaming, other than delivery of products for war work; bath and barber shop attendants, bowling, billiards and poolrooms, bottlers and bottle supplies, candy manufacturers, cigars and tobacco, cleaners and dryers, clothing, confectioners and delicatessen establishments, builders and contractors not engaged in erection of structures for war work, dancing academies, mercantile stores, florists, fruit stands, junk dealers, livery and sales stables, pawnbrokers, peanut vendors, shoe-shining shops, window cleaners, soft drink establishments and soda fountain supplies. CAUGHT WITH BOOZE Friday morning two Mexicans, Luis Naborette and Torillo Moreno, pleaded guilty to transporting booze in violation of law. Each was ordered to pay a fine of $100 and each was given a suspended sentence of seven months. These men had $56 worth of liquor in a wagon and were headed for Chino, presumably to peddle it through a blind pig, when they were arrested by Sheriff Jackson. The new law prohibits the transportation of booze for the purpose of distribution or sale. Sentence was by Judge Thomas. This was the second case in court. Recently two Pomona Mexicans, Cortez and Reyanoso, arrested by Under Sheriff Iman and Deputy Holbrook, were given fines of $150 each and seven months' suspended sentence. TRANSPORTING OUR TROOP The world has been astonished at the great number of American soldiers. Speaking of Christians' responsibility to civil government, Elder Healey said: "I don't believe a man can shirk any duty he owes his government and be accepted of God. The government may not be run according to your ideas, but Christ didn't say anything about that. It is astonishing how many men know how to run a government. The village stores used to have three or four men sitting on dry goods boxes and whitling and telling how to run the government, while their wives were taking in washing at home to run the family. "Whatever we do for the civil government we do to please God; and we must be obedient to God at all costs. When the President, as Commander-in-Chief of the armies of the United States, asks me to do something for the benefit of the government, I would give my last drop of blood. True, I am a non-combatant, but I am not a non-resistant." CONCRETE SHIPS TO BE BUILT AT LONG BEACH Contracts For Five Years' Work Already Signed Up With contracts already signed that will keep a big force of men busy for five years, a new shipbuilding concern to be known as the French-American Shipbuilding Company, has been organized at Long Beach and will commence work next month on the erection of concrete bottoms for the United States government. The big new industrial establishment will be located at the foot of Canal street, Wilmington, a sitehavel been purchased of God. This is about the only government on earth that was not founded on the idea that the province of civil government was to reform men. If under a reform regime the man doesn't reform, what will you do? Send him to the penitentiary? You wouldn't have room enough to hold them all, and the rest of the people would have to spend all their time making pea soup to feed them. "No, friends, the gospel of Jesus Christ is to reform men. That is not the province of the government at all. It is to protect. If we are in a town where one or two policemen are sufficient, we are well off. If we are in a government which is likely to be assaulted by another government in the same way that burglars invade your private home, it may cost you a great deal more—but the government protects just the same." Early Thursday morning a report of a shot was heard coming from the direction in which the man was found and several people ran to see what had happened. Mrs. Mabel Thomas was the first to arrive. When she arrived the dead man's supposed wife, Mrs. Theresa Weaver, was kneeling over the prostrate form sobbing and repeating. "Barney, why didn't you take me with you, you agreed to do it." From what can be learned from above the couple had agreed that the man first shoot the woman and then take his own life and end it all. At the inquest held at Long Beach it was learned that the young woman was about to become a mother and in one of the notes, of which there were several, stated that she could not live on $30 a month and away from Barney. The scheme of a double suicide was probably worked out before the couple left Los Angeles for this city as the theory is that three times he turned the gun on the woman to end her life but each time his courage failed him. The woman gave her name as Mrs. Theresa Weaver, but relatives in Los Angeles deny that the policeman was married. Weaver lived in Beaudry president; Mrs. William True, of La Verne, vice-president; Mrs. May A. Coates, of Pomona, secretary; Mrs. W. A. Baumgartner, of Pomona, treasurer. Another meeting will be held September 7 at the pergola in the park at which date there will be a picnic lunch at noon and the business meeting at 2 o'clock. At this meeting the matter of being represented at the coming fairs at Riverside and Los Angeles will be taken up. A communication was read from J.C. Darst, secretary of the American Association of Dayton, O., in which he states that he is coming to the Pacific Coast to attend the Liberty fairs at Riverside and Los Angeles, and that he will stop off at Pomona and inspect the goat industry of this valley. Mr. Darst is a national figure. SUICIDE AT SEAL BEACH Thursday morning at about 2:30 Barney Weaver, a Los Angeles policeman, committed suicide near the east end of the racing coaster at Seal Beach. His death is supposed to be a part fulfillment of a death pact entered in between himself and a woman in order to escape being separated from each other. It is understood that he had been ordered to report for military duty. Early Thursday morning a report of a shot was heard coming from the direction in which the man was found and several people ran to see what had happened. Mrs. Mabel Thomas was the first to arrive. When she arrived the dead man's supposed wife, Mrs. Theresa Weaver, was kneeling over the prostrate form sobbing and repeating. "Barney, why didn't you take me with you, you agreed to do it."

True, I am a non-combatant, but I am not a non-resistant." TRANSPORTING OUR TROOPS The world has been astonished at the great number of American soldiers transported to Europe in the last half year. The number now approximates 1,500,000, and the loss of life in transporting them has been almost infinitesimal. The success with which we have moved our troops from the scattered camps in this country and across 1,000 miles of ocean to the battle front is great evidence of American efficiency. We have not only surprised our enemies; we have surprised our friends and ourselves. The British controller of shipping, Sir Joseph Maclay, speaks of this movement across the sea as "A transport miracle." We have been inclined to attribute this achievement solely to our navy and our shipping, but the British controller speaks in high praise of the share the American railroads had in the work. He says: "If the American railroads had not been operated with success the whole transport movement might have failed, because it was essential to quick transportation that the troops should be ready for he ships." Director General McAdoo seems justified in his statement that while the development of the policy of the railroad administration requires time, progress has been made toward the goal. With contracts already signed that will keep a big force of men busy for five years, a new shipbuilding concern to be known as the French-American Shipbuilding Company, has been organized at Long Beach and will commence work next month on the erection of concrete bottoms for the United States government. The big new industrial establishment will be located at the foot of Canal street, Wilmington, a site having already been purchased. E. S. Hallan of No. 1125 Orizaba avenue, Long Beach, will be superintendent of the new shipyard, which is backed by Louis Sentous, French Consul in Los Angeles. President Baker of the Baker Iron Works, Los Angeles, who is also heavily interested in the Los Angeles Shipbuilding Company, is one of the chief backers of the new enterprise. Supt. Hallan has already engaged several large contractors to commence work on the construction of buildings on the site of the proposed plant. Use of Fruit Juices in Canning. Many fruits contain more juice than is necessary to cover the solid parts of the fruit in canning. This juice which remains over after canning may be used instead of water or syrup in canning other fruits which are deficient in juice. Grape juice or juices from other fruits may be prepared by crushing the fruit or passing it through a food chopper, heating it to the boiling point and then separating the liquid from the solid part by pressing and straining through a cloth or jerry bag. The objection to grape juice and some others for canning is that they about to become so extensive that there were several states stated that she could not live on $30 a month and away from Barney. The scheme of a double suicide was probably worked out before the couple left Los Angeles for this city as the theory is that three times he turned the gun on the woman to end her life but each time his courage failed him. The woman gave her name as Mrs. Theresa Weaver, but relatives in Los Angeles deny that the policeman was married. Weaver lived on Beaudry avenue, Los Angeles, and has been on the city police force only a short time. CONSIDER SAFETY RULES The Industrial Accident Commission has called public hearings to consider tentative quarry safety rules and tentative electrical station safety orders. For some weeks past committee of employers and employees have cooperated with the safety engineers of the commission in preparing the tentative rules and orders. A. R. Wilson, vice-president and manager of the Granite Rock Company, is chairman of the quarries committee. J. P. Jollyman, engineer of electrical construction for the Pacific Gas & Electric Company and the representative of the National Light Association, served as chairman of the electrical station committee. During the twenty-four months of 1915 and 1916 there were 32 fatal injuries, 60 permanent injuries and 2,314 temporary injuries in the quarries of California. The total cost in compensation and medical fees was $176,034. Electricity caused 739 injuries in California during 1915 and 1916, divided as follows: Fatalis, 50; permanents, 13; temporaries, 676.

The tentative quarry safety rules will be considered at two public hearings, the first on August 28th at 525 Market street, San Francisco, commencing at 10 A.M., and the second on September 11th in the Union League building, Los Angeles, commencing at 10 A.M. The tentative electrical station safety orders will be the subject of discussion at two public hearings, the first on September 12th in the Union League building, Los Angeles, commencing at 10 A.M., and the second on September 25th at 525 Market street, San Francisco, commencing at 10 A.M. The industrial accident commission extends to citizens an invitation to attend these public hearings. WITHOUT FOOD WE FAIL If we fail in food production, all the armies that can be assembled and all the war material that may be manufactured will be of no avail. If we permit England, France, Italy, and Belgium to succumb, the final contest will be ours alone. It may take years, and it will take many lives and much treasure, but without victory treasure is trash and life is bondage. We have more resources than the Central Powers can command; we can endure for unnumbered years and, therefore, we will win or we will drag the German beast with us in death to the judgment bar of God. I am sorry for the man who gets more out of the war than he puts into it, for the scorn of broken-hearted women, orphaned children, crippled soldiers and impoverished millions throughout half the earth will make him wish he had never been born. We are fighting to prevent one nation from exploiting other nations. Meanwhile, we must see to it that one man does not exploit other men. The primal needs of man are food, ralment and shelter; all else is luxury and indulgence. The force which produces food and ralment is agriculture, and in a true relation all the activities of commerce are its ministers or servants. The most vital occupations, agriculture, in its rewards and environments is the least attractive. We have reached the point now where it must be made attractive, or the government will be compelled to resort to coercion in order to insure sufficient production.—From Address by Clarence Ousley, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. MORE SUGAR-BEET MILLS BUILT Just 100 sugar-beet mills in the United States now are ready to turn out tons of sugar to furnish energy to our soldiers as soon as the harvesting of the sugar-beet crop begins. Sixteen of these millh were built during 1917 and equipped for handling the 1917-18 crop. The capacity of these mills ranges from a few hundred tons to 3,000 tons of beets each 24 hours. The first mill was built in California in 1817. During 1916, 17 mills were built in Wyoming, Idaho, Nebraska, Utah, Oregon, Colorado, Montana, Iowa, California, and Washington.
