25 PROPOSITIONS ON NOVEMBER BALLOT SHEET CONFRONTING VOTERS WILL BE LARGE ENOUGH TO COVER A DINING TABLE ROMINGER BILL IS FIRST ON THE LIST AND BONE-DRY INITIATIVE NO. 22 A sample sheet containing the names of candidates and the twenty-five propositions to be voted upon at the November election has been prepared. While not so large as the big ballot sheet used at the 1914 election, when there were forty-eight propositions, the sample is large enough to cover a good-sized dining table. The initiative, referendum and constitutional amendment propositions to be voted on in November are as follows: No. 1—Rominger initiative law providing for the regulation of the sale of liquor on the basis of the percentage of alcohol. No. 2—Constitutional amendment with reference to the depositing of public moneys in order to obtain the benefits of better rates of interest. No. 3—Initiative law to curb the activities of money lenders, and aimed at excessive interest charges. No. 4—Constitutional amendment authorizing legislative permission for citizens to vote when absent from their precincts on election day, due to occupation or military or naval duty. relative to stockholders' liabilities. No. 25—Constitutional amendment providing for excess condemnation by the State, counties or municipalities. BUSHELS OF SMALL FRY PLACED IN OUR STREAMS Orange County Waters Being Planted With Trout This Week This is "Fish-planting Month." Although the distribution of the millions of trout, salmon, shad and the other game and food-fish reared by the fish and game commission, and paid for, by the license-dollars of sportsmen anglers in twelve hatcheries and nine egg-taking stations, has been going steadily forward all summer in the north, below the Tehachepi, September is the time that appeals to state expert fish culturists as most desirable for the carload shipments. These until this year came from the ten-million-a-year "mother hatchery" at Mount Shasta; this season the new Mount Whitney plant in Owens' Valley is supplying the south. The state fish car, "O2," in charge of Louis Phillips, who handled Bear Valley operations last spring, arrived in the south on "Registration Day," and added a little practical aid to the patriotic performances of the day by turning over a quarter of a million baby trout to the willing hands which will plant them against the food and fun of the future. The car, accompanied by Deputy H. I. Pritchard, visited Azusa, San Bernardino, Riverside, Corona, and on the 18th came for another trip with a load for San Diego and Orange county streams. It is high time these heavy plantings were made. Low water has placed southern trout at the mercy of the expert angler. Good fly fishermen have about cleaned the San Jacinto, according to Charlie Van Horn, who is one of—perhaps the very best.

No. 8—Constitutional amendment providing for the appointment of regents, the government of and the handling of funds of the State University. No. 9—Constitutional amendment dividing the First and Second District Courts of Appeal into two divisions of three justices each. No. 10—Constitutional amendment providing that when a borough has been established in a consolidated city and county, there can be no change without the consent of a majority of the electors, in the government or boundaries of the borough. No. 11—Constitutional amendment exempting cemeteries and their buildings and equipment from taxation when they are not conducted for profit. No. 12—Constitutional amendment authorizing state appropriations to reimburse cities to a limited amount for loss of revenue resulting from tax exemptions owing to military service. No. 13—Constitutional amendment excepting counties from the provisions requiring compensation to be paid into court for land owners before a right of way in condemnation proceedings is appropriated. No. 14—Constitutional amendment exempting Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. property from taxation. No. 15—Constitutional amendment creating a State budget board.

I. Pritchard, visited Azusa, San Bernardino, Riverside, Corona, and on the 18th came for another trip with a load for San Diego and Orange county streams. It is high time these heavy plantings were made. Low water has placed southern trout at the mercy of the expert angler. Good fly fishermen have about cleaned the San Jacinto, according to Charlie Van Horn, who is one of-perhaps the very best. The San Gabriel, too, needs all the help it can get. And the fish and game commission, keenly alive to the ever-growing needs for more fish, builted wisely for the future in establishing the great Mount Whitney plant. Mount Whitney has specialized on steelhead and golden trout, beside the regular grist of rainbow. Supt. McCloud reports that the hatching operations have been highly successful, judged as fish culture experts figure such things, based upon percentages, times of hatching and vigor of fish, amount of food required, and other details less interesting to the run of anglers than what they will take once grown in the streams. Heavy plantings from Mount Whitney were made up the Coast last week. The southern streams have been taken care of far better than it ever has been possible to serve them before the new Whitney plant was in operation; and the fish are a more vigorous lot because fresher by two days' less travel. That a stock of trout could ever have been built up in Southern California under the old system of having a three-day car-trip from Mount Shasta, and the side-trips incidental to distribution on top of that is considered remarkable by experts. Results cannot fail to be very much better under the present order of plantings. The old San Gabriel of blessed memory, main stream and tributaries, are getting close to 150,000 trout out of this distribution; San Jacinto and its forks are being given close to 40,000, including some eastern brooks. Following the precedent established last year, San Diego streams are being stocked to capacity in the distribution of this week's trip, and the lakes, now demonstrated as able to rear trout successfully, will be brought up to their limits, as has been done in Bear Lake. Developments of the next few years, piscatorially speaking, should be very interesting not only to anglers, but to scientific students of wild life propagation as well. work of men employ manner.

BOYS AND GIRLS WANTED BY UNCLE SAM Boys, here is another way you can do your bit—and girls, too! Uncle Sam's war department has called upon all boys and girls to collect peach, plum and cherry pits as well as all kinds of nut shells for use in making carbon for gas masks. If you want to get a whack at the Kaiser, just join the nut brigade,—we need volunteers—young boys and girls, old boys and girls, fair, dark, tall, short, freckled, fat, slim—all boys and girls. There are hundreds of pounds of fruit pits going to waste, that should be saved to help the boys "over there" withstand the gas attacks of the enemy. Boys and girls, if you never knew how you could join our patriotic army at home—here's you chance—try it. Start it at your own home and then get your neighbors to help. When you have a fair amount collected, report to the county farm advisor, who will furnish you with bags from the war department. Be a pioneer and store home-grown food as if no freight trains were running or grocery stores open. (b) The payment wage for service just and prompt for juries received.

ENROLLMENT Twenty-two ANAHEIM GAZETTE WOMAN'S PART IN THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN The time for the Fourth Liberty Loan is drawing near, and plans for an active campaign are in progress all over the United States of America. The quota for Orange county will probably be $3,000,000, and in order to raise this sum, every man, woman and child in every community must stand ready to do his part. All over the county, women are showing the keenest interest in the work of the Liberty Loan committees, realizing that they must, as a patriotic duty, aid and relieve the men of the nation in every avenue of war-work, particularly this one, through which must flow the necessary means for providing the vast supplies that shall enable "Our Boys" to fight on to victory. It has been planned for the states of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, in order to avoid duplication of effort and possible misunderstanding, that the work of the Women's Liberty Loan committees be as clearly defined as possible and fully determined upon before the commencement of the drive. The Woman's National Liberty Loan committee is an organization created by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, having for its aim and object the stimulation of women's interest in the purchase and sale of Liberty Bonds, thus augmenting the work of men employed in a similar manner. Orange county women are urged to keep step with the women of other counties of California in the work of raising this Fourth Liberty Loan. A plan for direct organization and method will soon be submitted to the heads of all women's clubs and societies of the country from whom the fullest cooperation and enthusiasm is expected. MRS. W. L. GRUBBS, Orange County Chairman Worjan's have enrolled in the U. S. Nurse Reserve Corps.

Santa Anans who registered in other places are the Misses Jennie Dale, Beulah White, Dorothy Henry, Elsie Fluor, Annie Anderson, Helen Ballard and Quessie Miller. Tustin—Miss Jennie Pollard. Orange—Misses Esther Neville, Helen Rush, Gladys Newcomb and Lucy Hofer. Fullerton—Mrs. Jessie Parcels and Miss Gertrude Hiltcher. WHY NUMEROUS PEOPLE ACQUIRE SUGAR HABIT Fermentation in the Stomach Forms Alcohol, Which Produces Jag A newspaper writer, commenting on the giving up of various foods during the war, says it is comparatively easy to go without meat or wheat and then adds: "There is one food which practically everyone likes. Whether people have strength to deny themselves it, is a real test of will power and character. That food is sugar. "The fact that sugar in one form or another is a food which ninety-nine persons out of 100 enjoy is no vague theory demanding demonstration. Everybody is aware how fond children are of sugar, and the taste is one which in later years may be modified, but is seldom outgrown. The capacity to change from eating a certain amount of sugar to eating less indicates definite will power, or to put more informally, backbone. In fact, it probably takes more of the out-and-out spirit of self-denial voluntarily to cut down one's sugar than to give up any other food. For sugar, in the popular mind, is associated not chiefly with nourish-able side of "This is a hell or a time to strike," he expresses the indignation which every man in the United States army, navy or marine feels at the idea of halting the war for higher wages. Yet it is evident, both in this country and in England, that there is a certain labor element that thinks "it is a hell of a good time to strike." Clearly one of these views is the selfish and unpatriotic view and the other is the unselfish and patriotic view. It does not take long to determine which is which. "This is a hell of a time to strike." ARE YO J ONE OF US? Although sheer weight of America's millions of troops will be sufficient to crush the Hun back to the Rhine and batter down upon the Kaiser's ears the emnants of the world crown he thought to wear, it has not been numbers, but typical American mobility, which has saved the day for the entente thus far. Wilhelm and the German general staff, admitting the gigantic resources of the United States, made the error of calculating in years instead of weeks the time necessary for the shaping of those resources for war purposes. The day that we entered the war, scores of our fleet destroyers sped east across the Atlantic. To a ship, they reported upon arrival at British naval bases, "Ready for action." When continued losses by submarines seemed likely to make good the German threat to starve England, Schwab turned a hundred shipyards loose on a shipbuilding program such as the wildest optimist had not dreamed possible. American railroad men built 2,000 miles of track in France; hundreds of huge warehouses were erected; mountains of food, munitions and other supplies were landed. DECLARATION OF POLICY The policy of the United State railroad administration has been informed and shaped by a desire to accomplish the following purposes which are named in what I conceive to be the order of their importance, writes W. G. McAdoo. First. The winning of the war, which includes the prompt movement of the men and material that the government requires. To this everything else must be subordinated. Second. The service of the public, which is the purpose for which the railways were built and given the privileges accorded them. This implies the maintenance and improvement of the railroad properties so that adequate transportation facilities will be provided at the lowest cost, the object of the government being to furnish service rather than to make money. Third. The promotion of a spirit of sympathy and a better understanding as between the administration of the railways and their 2,000,000 employees, as well as their 100,000,000 patrons, which latter class includes every individual in the nation, since transportation has become a prime and universal necessity of civilized existence. Fourth. The application of sound economies, including— (a) The elimination of superfluous expenditures. (b) The payment of a fair and living wage for services rendered and a just and prompt compensation for injuries received. (c) The purchase of material and equipment at the lowest prices consistent with a reasonable but not an excessive profit by the producer. (d) The adoption of standardized equipment and the introduction of approved devices that will save life and labor. (e) The routing of freight and passage bases, "Ready for action." When continued losses by submarines seemed likely to make good the German threat to starve England, Schwab turned a hundred shipyards loose on a shipbuilding program such as the wildest optimist had not dreamed possible. American railroad men built 2,000 miles of track in France; hundreds of huge warehouses were erected; mountains of food, munitions and other supplies were landed. When the German masses, released from all eastern fronts, began their ominous drive through Picardy, American troops, months in advance even of the hurry-up American program, began to pour through the channel gateways, and the Hun was held, then driven back. Thus American ability to concentrate quickly its war efforts on any given point on the enemy line has foiled every Hun attempt whether by sea or land. A really great demonstration of this American faculty will be given in the Fourth Liberty Loan. Confronted with the necessity of raising a war loan of twice the size of any of its epoch-making predecessors, we are called upon to finish the task in three weeks. Only by the full and united effort of every man, woman and child in the United States can this great task be completed in the time set. It is as certain that it will be completed successfully as that the grim courage of America on French battle fields will continue to batter back the Hun. Be sure you do your share. ART EXHIBIT AT LAGUNA Laguna Beach's art exhibit has come to stay. It is now a recognized permanent institution of that community of artists and art-lovers, that Mecca of those who paint with oils and water colors. A bit over five weeks ago the exhibition rooms were opened with a display of some of the best work of the score of so of artists who are carrying forward the fame of Laguna Beach as an inspiration for artists. At the time of the opening there was some doubt in the minds of a few as to whether or not the exhibit would prove popular. There is now no question concerning its popularity. In five weeks by actual registration of visitors there were over 3,000 people inside the exhibition rooms. The number who visited the place and left naval bases, "Ready for action."

(d) The adoption of standardized equipment and the introduction of approved devices that will save life and labor. (e) The routing of freight and passenger traffic with due regard to the fact that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. (f) The intensive employment of all equipment and a careful record and scientific study of the results obtained, with a view to determining the comparative efficiency secured. The development of this policy will, of course, require time. The task to which the railroad administration has addressed itself is an amnese one. It is as yet too early to judge the results obtained, but I believe that great progress has been made toward the goal of our ideals. All those who have had a share in this great work, including especially the members of my staff and the officers and employees of the railways, have shown intelligence, public spirit, loyalty, and enthusiasm in dealing with problems that have already been solved and attacking those that still await solution. With their continued co-operation, I feel assured of a future in which the lessons of our accumulating experience will be effectively employed to humanize the science of railroading and negative the idea that corporations have no souls. ENROLLMENT OF NURSES Twenty-two Orange county women "A HELL OF A TIME." "This is a hell of a time to strike in America." These are the words of an American soldier in France, who has just received the Croix de Guerre and a silver star for risking his life to save that of a wounded French officer, when told of labor troubles in certain mills and factories in the United States," says the Orange Star. When this man, who is jeopardizing life and limb twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week for little more than a dollar a day in money, says play of some of the best work of the score of so of artists who are carrying forward the fame of Laguna Beach as an inspiration for artists. At the time of the opening there was some doubt in the minds of a few as to whether or not the exhibit would prove popular. There is now no question concerning its popularity. In five weeks by actual registration of visitors there were over 3,000 people inside the exhibition rooms. The number who visited the place and left it without registering doubtless would add several hundred to the total. Under the plan by which the community of Laguna Beach is to keep the exhibit rooms open, the paintings are to be changed once every month. Those who visited the exhibit during the first month may now see an entire change in pictures, a roomful of charm and inspiration, of beauty and grandeur portrayed with the skill of men and women who have the power of touch and color to portray the things they see and feel. The exhibit room, near the Laguna hotel, is admirably fitted for the purpose. Lights have been arranged in such a way that pictures lose nothing of their charm. The exhibit is in charge of Miss Marlan George, who, out of interest in the success of the project, has volunteered her services as custodian. Miss George is a thoroughly appreciative custodian, and her own deep interest and delight in the exhibit is one of the factors in its success. In the new set of pictures, views of the sea naturally predominate. Rather, it is the combination of sea and shore. That is exactly what one would expect of an exhibit of pictures painted by Laguna Beach artists.

Ganahl Lumber Company INCREASE LOCAL CROPS SENTIMENT OF MEETING Orange County Farm Bureau Advises Greater Activity The directors of the Orange county farm bureau met at the farm advisor's office, Friday, September 13th. That Orange county could not respond to the extent of northern counties in the wheat and sheep projects, as outlined at the conference of farm advisors held at Sacramento, September 2nd and 3rd, was the sentiment of the meeting. It was proposed, however, that the bureau and farm advisor make every effort to urge and outline increased production of all essential crops adapted to Orange county conditions, through both increased acreage and reduction of rodents, pests and disease. Professor Packard was present and pointed out the necessity of the Southern counties co-operating to formulate and put through increased crop campaigns. He announced the conference of Southern California farm advisors and bureau delegates to be held at Riverside, October 3rd for the purpose of outlining uniform projects on: 1. Cover crops. 2. Soil moisture. 3. Systematic pruning. 4. Poultry. 5. Fertilizers. 6. Disease, pest and weed control. Director S. W. McColloch was appointed delegate to represent Orange county farm bureau at the Riverside conference with Farm Advisor Wahlberg. District Attorney West was invited to explain several legal questions that have confronted the bureau. Anaheim Orange Association. This was a mistake. This house packed and shipped 169 carloads of oranges last season and he intends to do a much larger business this season and will make a number of improvements which will cost several thousand dollars. Several cars of oranges Mr. Davies shipped the past season were sold on the eastern market for the highest price. HEARD IN ANAHEIM How Bad Backs Have Been Made Strong—Kidney Ills Corrected All over Anaheim, you hear it. Doan's Kidney Pills are keeping up the good work. Anaheim people are telling about it—telling of bad backs made sound again: You can believe the testimony of your own townspeople. They tell it for the benefit of you who are suffering. If your back aches, if you feel lame, sore and miserable, if the kidneys act too frequently, or passages are painful, scanty and off color, use Doan's Kidney Pills, the remedy that has helped so many of your friends and neighbors. Follow this Anaheim citizen's advice and give Doan's a chance to do the same for you. Louis Dusser, retired farmer, 425 W. Center St., says: "I suffered with sharp stitches in my back that took me at different times without warning, leaving my back so weary, lame and painful I could hardly hold up. Believing this trouble was due to disordered kidneys, I used Doan's Kidney Pills. They removed the complaint.

Farm Advisor Wahlberg called attention to the desire of the Huntington Beach fair association to have the co-operation of this office and farm bureau in getting desirable exhibit material for the fair, dated October 2nd to 5th inclusive. President Woodrough suggested that it would be to the interest of the farm bureau to assist in the successful execution of the fair. DAVIES STAYS IN PLACENTIA R. T. Davies, one of the best known orange packing men in this part of California who has been in the business at Placentia for a number of years, has purchased the building which he has had leased and will continue along the same line that he has been running. Mr. Davies already owned the machinery and equipments in the building and as his lease expired the first of October a report was circulated that he would retire from the business and take charge of the Louis Dauser, retired Armorer, in W.

Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Dauser had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.—Adv. The suggestion from official sources that shoe manufacture be standardized seems to carry with it a part remedy, at least, for conditions created by the shortage of leather as the result of the abnormal war demand. The pinch of war will come home to us in a new form if we are forced to standardize foot apparel and a termination of the terrific waste which has followed the use of leather for fancy styles and absurd extremes of foot coverings. We will not have the leather to squander as in the past and the high and still increasing cost of shoes should carry a warning of drastic measures probable for the future. The standardization of shoes would mean a vast economy of material and production and the lightest of the penalties which the situation may impose upon us.
