His family now consists of himself, his wife, a son and a daughter, and this, he thinks, comprises a complete American family. The Anaheim Feed & Fuel Company of East Center street, have opened an official weighing station. County Sealer of Weights and Measures McPhee adjusted the scales last week. Rev. P. Browne, of Salinas, came in last week and is now installed as pastor of St. Boniface's church. He was accompanied by his sister, Miss Bessie Browne, who acts as his housekeeper. Father Browne and his sister came from Ireland 26 years ago, his first work in the priesthood in America being at Visalia. William Bonskosky has a large force of men employed on his fumigating outfits and is kept busy all the time. Bonkosky's work speaks for itself. He uses the Braun machines which are considered to be the best. Street Supt. Steward has been complimented by the trustees for the thorough manner in which he has oiled the earthen streets. It is proposed to grade and oil as many of the streets as possible. As was expected the Southern Pacific is preparing to appeal from the decision of the superior court giving title to the old railroad strip between Miraflores and West Anaheim to adjoining ranchers. Saturday morning notice of intention to move for a new train was filed. WOMEN ARE FIGHTING IN GERMAN RANKS Gerald Whitaker Saw 17 Among the Captives Recently Press dispatches announced some days ago that Gen. Ludendorf had publicly stated that before Germany would yield in the war every able bodied woman in the empire would be put in the ranks. It appears that the Kaiser has already resorted to this method of recruiting his decimated ranks. J. H. Whitaker received a letter Tuesday from his son, Gerald, m which he states that in a German machine gun company recently captured by Americans, seventeen women in soldiers' uniform were found among the prisoners. Two women were also found among the German dead, killed in the fight. Ludendorf, it seems, is making his promise good. Gerald Whitaker is with the American army in the Toul sector, east of Verdun. Wilbur Carroll Byram, of Westminster, is dead in France. He died on July 25th from injuries sustained in a railroad accident. This information was conveyed to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Byram of Westminster, in a telegram from the War Department Thursday. Details of when he was hurt and the nature of his injuries were not given. He was 23 years of age and had been overseas since last October. It is not known whether he was killed instantly or lived several days after sustaining his fatal injuries. George A. Fox, erstwhile clubman and financial secretary, who is awaiting trial on a charge of embezzlement preferred by Mrs. Anna G. Walters, was surrendered to Sheriff Cline and lodged in the county jail at Los Angeles Monday by his two bondsmen. It is understood that Fox and his bondsmen, Charles Davis and Frank Golings, Manuel Crespin received from his son Mike Tuccing that he was enlisted in France. He had not yet trenched but was very quartered in a house two years old, and says France has an ancient pin also received a letter Emil announcing his sale French port.

She left her visit to her daughter. As was expected the Southern Pacific is preparing to appeal from the decision of the superior court giving title to the old railroad strip between Miraflores and West Anaheim to adjoining ranchers. Saturday morning notice of intention to move for a new trial was filed. J. C. Gow, long a fruit buyer around Anaheim, has more than the proverbial peck of trouble right now. He is sued for divorce, he is being prosecuted on a charge of forgery. He was employed by an Anaheim fruit concern. A check was issued to a grower named Bobst, and that check came back with Bobst's name endorsed upon it. Bobst says he never endorsed the check. Friday when Gow was in Justice Cox's court on a charge of forgery, the preliminary examination was continued to September 17. Since his separation from his wife, Gow has been put in Class 1 for the draft and is ordered up for physical examination soon. O. J. Eckley, the Sandusky Trator agent, reports several recent sales of that popular assistant to the agriculturist. "The Sandusky is its own advertisement," said Mr. Eckley. "Wherever one is placed in a neighborhood it is sure to gain favor with all who see it work." Major Chester Wickson came up from Camp Kearny last week and spent a few days with Mr. and Mrs. B. D. McAlvay. He and Mack worked together on a boat on the Great Lakes some years ago, the major being captain of the craft. George A. Fox, erstwhile clubman and financial secretary, who is awaiting trial on a charge of embezzlement preferred by Mrs. Anna G. Walters, was surrendered to Sheriff Cline and lodged in the county jail at Los Angeles Monday by his two bondsmen. It is understood that Fox and his bondsmen, Charles Davis and Frank Goings, had some difficulty over an automobile which Fox lost by permitting a suit of attachment to go by default. The bondsmen lost $60 in the transaction and concluded that Fox was too much of a risk for them, according to Sheriff Cline. Fox was arrested on charges by Mrs. Walters that he embezzled money from her while acting as her ranch manager. He pleaded not guilty last Friday before Judge Houser and his trial was set for October 18. Mrs. Koenig-Schulte is recovering from a serious illness of two months' duration, and her many friends hope that she will soon be able to be out again. She will shortly go to Pasadena, where Mr. Schulte has acquired a handsome home on a trade for his ranch at Escondido. He and his wife will live partly in Pasadena and partly in this city, and Mr. Schulte's son and his family will remove to this city to reside. Fred Schneider has disposed of his interest in the City Cash Market to his brother Ed, and will move onto a ranch to help increase the food output. Ed Schneider will conduct the business at the old stand, and will continue to give the City Market's customers the best meats that can be bought.

Mrs. Sarah Basey has sworn to a complaint charging her husband, Carl Basey, from whom she is separated, with stealing an electric fan from 314 East Center street, Anaheim. C. C. Jenness was in town from his ranch southwest of town on a business visit Friday. Mr. Jenness has been living on this ranch twenty-three years. He reports a fine crop of oranges and lemons on his trees. According to an official statement received at the court house from State Comptroller Chambers, Orange county will have to pay to the state this year $20,950 as interest upon the bonds of the state highway issues. This is the interest upon the money that was used in this county in state highway work. The amount is about Charles Claytor, of Santa Ana, was a business visitor in town Monday.

Mrs. Marie Seaman died Wednesday after an illness of one day from pneumonia. Funeral services were held at Backs & Terry's Friday, the remains being shipped to Nevada City. CALIFORNIA BEAN CROP IS BELOW NORMAL Dry Weather in Some Sections Is Responsible For Shortage The farmers of this state need have no fear about an over-production of beans this year, and a consequent depression of prices, according to George A. Turner, president of the California Bean Growers' Association. His forecast is based not only on the reports of the United States Bureau of Crop Estimates, but on individual reports received by the statistical department of the California Bean Growers' Association from its hundreds of members, among whom are the owners and managers of practically all of the big bean ranchers in Northern and Central California. Mr. Turner finds that the acreage planted to beans this year is slightly larger than in 1917, but dry weather conditions in many sections have materially interfered with the crop. Many growers report almost a total failure because of lack of moisture. Large whites show at the present time an average condition in the counties of San Joaquin, Yuba and Colusa, but in Sacramento, Stanislaus and Yolo they are reported below normal. While the outlook for pinks is encouraging in the most important districts where they are grown, the acreage is much less than last year, and subnormal conditions ranging from 75 per cent down to 25 per cent are reported from some of the dry sections. Red Kidneys and Red Mexicans, which are grown largely in Stanislaus county, are reported to be about 75 per cent of normal. Black eyes and Tearies, which are planted usually in the dry districts and are not so easily affected by drought, range from 75 per cent to 100 per cent of normal. The reports from the United States According to an official statement received at the court house from State Comptroller Chambers, Orange county will have to pay to the state this year $20,950 as interest upon the bonds of the state highway issues. This is the interest upon the money that was used in this county in state highway work. The amount is about the same as last year. Manuel Crespin received a letter from his son Mike Tuesday morning stating that he was enjoying himself in France. He had not yet got into the trenches but was very near. He was quartered in a house twelve hundred years old, and says everything in France has an ancient look. Mr. Crespin also received a letter from his son Emil announcing his safe arrival at a French port. He has two other sons in the army who have not yet reached the fighting ground, but they are on their way. Chillie Fisher, of the Fisher Wine Company, has been notified by the local exemption board that he must engage in an essential occupation by Sunday, September 22. He has already arranged to take a new job that is considered "win-the-war" work on Monday, the 23rd. Chillie is disposing of his interests in the wine company and is also offering his residence property for sale cheap, consequently it is assumed he is preparing to leave Anaheim. The many past offenses of Sam Smith bobbed up against him Friday morning when he was before Judge Thomas on a plea for probation. He had pleaded guilty to passing a bad check at Anaheim, and he asked the judge for probation. The probation plea did not last long, for the sheriff's office produced a fingerprint record showing that Smith had served two terms in San Quentin and two in the Nevada state prison. Robbery, assault to rob and bad checks are in his record. He was today ordered to San Quentin. Vicente Orantes has asked for letters of administration on the estate of Mrs. Merced Orantes, who died at El Paso, Texas, on July 15. Mrs. Orantes was one of the old-time residents of Anaheim. She left here in July on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Juan San- F. W. Schmidt, who has just returned from a trip to the East, will open up a music store in the room formerly occupied by A. W. Thomas. He expects to be open for business September 1. Mrs. Marie Seaman died Wednesday after an illness of one day from pneumonia. Funeral services were held at Backs & Terry's Friday, the remains being shipped to Nevada City. Lou Winney writes to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Winney, that he is enjoying life in France but had not yet been given a chance to swat a bosche. Abe Winney is now at Camp Fremont, and in his last letter stated that he expected to be sent to Russia. A charge of embezzlement against George F. Pierce of Anaheim was dismissed Wednesday and a new charge, that of burglary, was brought against him. The complainant is Mrs. Lila Ellis, who used to be a partner of Pierce in a garage. She was the complainant in the embezzlement action, also. In the new complaint it is alleged that Pierce broke into the Studebaker garage here and took away some articles. This garage is said to have been under attachment at the time. For injuries received on August 22, 1917, two suits for $5,000 each were brought Tuesday against Robert Edeans and F. Blodgett. Gregorlo Delgado and Lucio Gonzales are the plaintiffs. According to their complaints they were riding along a highway near Fullerton when an automobile with a trailer owned by the plaintiffs approached. The trailer broke loose from the automobile and cut off across the street, struck the plaintiffs' buggy, threw out the plaintiffs and injured them $5,000 worth apiece. Los Angeles attorneys represented the plaintiffs. Deputy Sheriff Cravath and Deputy Constable Elliott of Santa Ana climbed hills, followed trails and hunted horses all the way from El Modena to Yorba Tuesday morning. A man named Adams reported two horses stolen, and the officers went on the chase for the horses and the horse thief. They sleuthed until they found the two horses hitched to a wagon along with a crew of men at work under Al Hodson, contractor on a pipe age is much less than last year, and subnormal conditions ranging from 75 per cent down to 25 per cent are reported from some of the dry sections. Red Kidneys and Red Mexicans, which are grown largely in Stanislaus county, are reported to be about 75 per cent of normal. Black eyes and Tearies, which are planted usually in the dry districts and are not so easily affected by drought, range from 75 per cent to 100 per cent of normal. The reports from the United States Bureau of Crop Estimates check closely with tre reports received by the statistical department of the California Bean Growers' Association, direct from its grower members. Mr. Turner calls attention to the fact that there is a wide difference between a normal crop and the crop of 1917. Last year the production went much above the average per acre, and even a 90 per cent of normal production this year would be far below last year's output. Besides fresh reports from Michigan, Oregon and other competitive bean sections, suggest that this year's production may be much less than usual on account of frosts, pests and other adverse conditions. THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN The biggest financial achievements of a nation accustomed to big finances, the first three Liberty Loans, are to be eclipsed by the Fourth Liberty Loan. The coming loan will be at least twice as large as the third loan and perhaps larger, dependent upon whether it is finally decided to call for the six or eight billion dollars. No matter what amount it is, we, the general patriotic Americans, only know that six or eight billion dollars is needed and that we will raise it. Germany's people, faltering at home as their soldiers are faltering beneath Foch's blows in the field, only raised enough in their last loan, we are told, to pay interest on previous war/levies. Turkey's last feeble effort before she quit Central Powers, was to raise twelve million dollars of a proposed $32,000,000 loan. America, summoning its latent financial strength for a task unprecedented in history, will answer with confidence to the call from Washington for whatever sum is set at this time. Real sacrifice of many comforts will be the means by which many American families swell their purchase of Fourth Liberty Loan bonds. Those Vicente Orantes has asked for letters of administration on the estate of Mrs. Merced Orantes, who died at El Paso, Texas, on July 15. Mrs. Orantes was one of the old-time residents of Anaheim. She left here in July on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Juan Sanchez at El Paso, and died a week after her arrival there. She left property in Anaheim valued at $1,000. The heirs are Mrs. Dolores Krause of Chino, Mrs. Juan Sanchez of El Paso, Vicente and Epemenio Orantes of Anaheim. It took two telegrams and $20 by telegraph to square S. G. Vasquez, Mexican consul at San Diego, with Justice Cox for Vasquez' arrest for speeding forty-five miles an hour. The arrest was made several days ago. Vasquez was ordered to appear in Cox's court Wednesday. Instead of appearing, Vasquez sent telegrams, and when Cox wired back that the fine would be $20, the $20 came hot-foot by wire. When Billy Wallop went to vote on Tuesday he was handed a republican ballot, he having been registered by mistake as affiliating with that party. Billy is one of the local democratic warhorses, and entered a polite protest to being given a republican ballot. His protest was unavailing, and he voted his first republican ticket. He wrote in the name of Woolwine for governor, which gave the Los Angeles man one vote for the republican nomination. Billy says he will vote the straight democratic ticket at the November election. Deputy Sheriff Cravath and Deputy Constable Elliott of Santa Ana climbed hills, followed trails and hunted horses all the way from El Modena to Yorba Tuesday morning. A man named Adams reported two horses stolen, and the officers went on the chase for the horses and the horse thief. They sleuthed until they found the two horses hitched to a wagon along with a crew of men at work under Al Hodson, contractor on a pipe line. The officers told the wherefore of their visit. Hodson looked worried but amused. He had sent a boy to El Modena to get a team from a man named Evans, with whom Hodson had made arrangements. The boy had understood the name as Adams, and he got Adams' horses. The following is an extract from a letter from Lieut. C. Stanley Chapman, dated "Somewhere in France," July 20, 1918, to his father, Charles C. Chapman: "We have made a hike, a real one lasting five days, with only one night's sleep. We made 72 kilometers—about 45 miles—in the first 36 hours. I tell you we were all tired. We would march from about 8 P.M. until noon or later, then feed, groom, and fall on the ground and sleep about two hours; then up again, getting ready to pull out. It was certainly tiring. At every halt everybody, officers and men, would drop in his tracks right in the road for the bliss of ten or fifteen minutes' rest; then up and going again. Of course I had a horse but I walked over half the way, trading with the less fortunate; but it was worth it, for we arrived in time to lead the big shove going on. I wish I could tell you some of the great things going on now, but of course you will see all about it in the papers. I hope it will turn out as well as it has started." The estate of Peter Wohlgemuth has been appraised at $7,764.34. Mrs. Edmiston, of Pomona, came in last week on a visit to her son, F. T. Edmiston, and family. O. D. Nickells, who has been with the Falkenstein department store for a number of years past, has resigned his position and gone to Santa Ana, having accepted an offer from the Spiced Dry Goods Company. Syril Tipton, graduate of 1911 class of the Anaheim high school and prominent track star, has signed up as one of the assistant athletic coaches at the San Diego high school for the coming term, it was reported this week. Tipton also took a prominent part in athletics at U. S. C., and has been Long Beach High football coach and baseball mentor for Jefferson high school, Los Angeles.

Valencia oranges continue to magnify the advantages they possess as a great summer drink because the juice requires no sugar, and before this summer is ended this variety of orange will rave made a place for itself in the trade of the country that will be enduring for many generations. The introduction of orange juice is in its very earliest stages, many millions of people not having yet been introduced to this delicious summer drink which combines the features of lemonade in its citric acid refreshment together with the sweetness of other popular soda counter drinks. The demand along this line is growing by leaps and bounds every week. The f. o. b. market for Valencia variety is on a basis of $7 to $7.50 per box, with indication of upward trend. About 1,200 cars remain to be shipped and most of the packing houses have shut down for the August period to resume about September 1. From August 15 to October 1 we have the period of ligtest demand for oranges of all the year as every market is filled with the product of the summer crops. During the week New York and Philadelphia markets softened slightly under slightly heavier offerings than could be taken at the price ruling. Florida new crop conditions are beginning to absorb trade attention. Locally the new crop progresses will be previously reported. Cooler weather conditions throughout the country have caused the lemon situation to ease off. Delivered prices are on a basis of $7.50 to $8, but the trade are not inclined to take on supplies for other than immediate wants and the situation is resolving itself into more of a steady fall demand at a fixed basis price. The total amount of foreign lemons available for sale in the next thirty days remains unchanged over last week; no arrivals having been reported. Boats are making slow time and none of the cargoes aggregating 193,000 boxes have docked up to the latest advices received from New York, therefore no sales have been held the past week. Losses to importers on recent cargoes are reported as being very heavy. The newly-formed Buena Park Vegetable Association is preparing for large shipments of canned goods this season. The old Lilly Milk factory is being converted into an up-to-date cannery. Machinery is being installed as rapidly as possible and it is planned to have everything in readiness by September 1. It is the purpose to handle vegetables of all sorts and to keep the cannery running as much of the time as products can be secured. Another improvement here is the Joannes Bros.' chill pepper dryer which is nearing completion. Forty men are at work on the building and a well is being sunk for the water supply. There are many acres in chilis and the output will be larger than ever before from this section.
