ANAHEIM PEOPLE WILL NOT SHIRK THEIR DUTY LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE CONFIDENTLY EXPECTS TO FIND NO SLACKERS IN OUR MIDST SPECIAL WAR TRAIN SATURDAY AND VICTORY TANK MONDAY WILL ENTERTAIN PEOPLE During the next three weeks every activity in this neck of the woods will be subordinated to the Liberty Loan drive. Uncle Sam has asked Anaheim to loan him $376,000 and he expects it to prove its patriotism by doing so. There are a number of pessimists here who profess to believe this is a big undertaking, but the live wire committee in charge of the work scoff at the suggestion of failure, and confidently believe that patriotic Anaheim will be as liberal with its dollars as it has been with its men. We have sent in the neighborhood of 250 boys into the army, and 804 others signed their names to the army roll on September much which one arrives to boost our campaign. Director Janss announces that each tank will carry a heavy Browning machine gun, spot lights and flood lights for use at night, a fully equipped chorus program and be under guard of four of Uncle Sam's own boys. Each one of these tanks has been allotted to a quota of $1,500,000 which makes $3,000,000 for the two tanks. In Central Park, Los Angeles, is another monster tank erected for Liberty Loan work and upon which a similar quota has been placed. The outside tanks will strive to outdo the big tank in Los Angeles. Moving picture stars will tell the story of Uncle Sam's Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds from the top of the tank. It will be an opportunity for you to see one of your favorites of filmdom. Fred Gresswell has promised something new as a center piece for the intersection of Los Angeles and Center streets, but he refuses to tell what it is. He wired to Peoria, Illinois, asking the manufacturers to send him one of the latest model war tanks they are building for the British, but the boss wired back that it couldn't be did as all trains nowadays are traveling east. He was forced to give up that idea but he will spring something equally unique. Gresswell made a hit with his statue of liberty during the third campaign. Following are the heads of the county committees who are going to put to loan him $376,000 and he expects it to prove its patriotism by doing so. There are a number of pessimists here who profess to believe this is a big undertaking, but the live wire committee in charge of the work scoff at the suggestion of failure, and confidently believe that patriotic Anaheim will be as liberal with its dollars as it has been with its men. We have sent in the neighborhood of 250 boys into the army, and 804 others signed their names to the army roll on September 12, a large percentage of whom will eventually be taken. We are fulfilling our obligation regarding man power, and we will not shirk our duty in the matter of providing dollars. The best talent in the United States has volunteered to help in this fourth drive, and the local committee has been fortunate in securing a generous share of the entertainments. Les Henry, one of the spellbinders of the Twelfth Federal Reserve district, spoke at the Grand theater Monday evening. Considering that Mr. Henry is one of the most brilliant orators in the west, the audience was not as large as it should have been, Chairman McCord remarked that the people still appeared a little apathetic. Mr. McCord was wrong. The people have already made up their minds to put Anaheim over the top if they have to dig up the last dollar, and they couldn't see the necessity of listening to any further argument on the subject. However those who stayed away missed one of the most thrilling addresses ever delivered here. One of the things Anaheim people should not fail to miss is the special train that comes in on the Santa Fe railroad at 10:15 Saturday morning and remains here two hours. It consists of three passenger cars loaded with war relics—the things you read about in the press dispatches every day. There will be captured Hun equipment, including trench mortars, rifles, gas bombs, helmets, etc., as well as specimens used by the allies. The cars will be full of interesting things that you may never have another opportunity of seeing. The exhibits will be in charge of soldier boys who have returned from the front, and they can give you first-hand information regarding the modern system of fighting. A splendid military band from Mare Island navy yard accompanies the train. On Monday night, down at the corner of Lemon and Center streets, there will be something doing that every man, woman and child should see. He wired to Peoria, Illinois, asking the manufacturers to send him one of the latest model war tanks they are building for the British, but the boss wired back that it couldn't be did as all trains nowadays are traveling east. He was forced to give up that idea but he will spring something equally unique. Gresswell made a hit with his statue of liberty during the third campaign.

The "Victory" tank will lumber in on its own caterpillar track that evening, bringing with it a hoard of entertainers. It will be escorted by soldier boys on bikes, and accompanied by the Fort McArthur military band. A number of famous movie stars, whose faces you frequently see on the screen, are of the party, and you will have an opportunity of seeing these noted people without their war paint on. Eloquent four-minute speakers will be present, but there will be no long-winded or tiresome orations. The time will be too fully occupied with other stunts. Don't miss this. You have read much of the British tanks and wondered what they looked like. This one has not been in the war, but it is an exact reproduction of the monsters that are doing such execution in the Hun ranks. So many cities and communities in Southern California telephoned, wired and wrote Director Janss for a visit of the tank that the Liberty Loan committee immediately decided to have two of them. These tanks will be known as tank "Liberty" and tank "Democracy." It has not yet been decided just whether "Liberty" or "Democracy" will visit this city, but as both tanks are built on the same lines, carry a similar military escort—and the same equipment, it will not matter. Harold Everet, former Orange high school athletic star, now in the medical corps of the army, is still a crack track man. He is stationed at Camp Morris, Virginia. In a recent track and field meet there he won the 220 and 440-yard events. As prizes he received a gold set safety razor for the former and a gold watch for the latter event. L. A.

These, coupled with the number registered under previous calls, gives the government a roll of twenty-five million men, the flower of American manhood, from which to select its Liberty army, the army that is going into foreign lands to battle with the most insidious and inhuman foe that ever attempted the conquest of the world. When the spring opens in northern Europe, government officials tell us, three and a half million of these men will be on the firing line confronting the minions of the butcher of Berlin, who is laying nations waste and sacrificing millions of men, women and children in an insane endeavor to make himself dictator of the world. When the Kaiser and his junker advisers were engaged in consulting the map of the world and fixing the date at which each nation should be conquered and brought under the dominion of "All Highest," they made the fatal mistake of rating America as a commercial nation lacking the ability to fight and protect its own. If they had harked back over less than a hundred and fifty years of history they would have remembered that the peace-loving Americans can lay aside their industrial implements and wield a mighty sword whenever their liberties are threatened. These boys who are going forth to fight for our freedom have a long line of heroic ancestors to emulate. One hundred and forty-two years ago their great grandfathers went to war. They were oppressed by a tyrant ruler and resented it. They went to war in defense of the declaration that woman and child was called to the colors. Only a small percentage of the men are going into the danger zone, but we who are left at home are just as much a unit in the nation's defensive forces as they are. Those boys who go to the front depend upon us for the sinews of war, and if we fail them they are lost. It would be the greatest crime ever committed by a people to send them into a foreign land to fight for our preservation, then leave them naked to our enemies. Under our beneficent system of government the American people have prospered and grown wealthy. The government is demanding nothing unreasonable in taking the people to loan it six billion dollars for the support of its armies. Since the war began the people of England have poured into the British treasury 45 per cent of the total wealth of the nation and the French people have loaned their government a sum equal to 35 per cent of the country's wealth. The assessed valuation of the United States is equal to twice the combined wealth of England and France, while the war has cost us so far only 5 per cent of our assessment, half of that being loaned to our allies. Notwithstanding the appalling drain on their people neither England nor France has been compelled to a forced loan system, and it is to be hoped the people of the United States will prove as patriotic as the English and French. It is difficult to believe that men of means have hitherto been shirking the duty they owe to their country, to the community in which they live and to the boys who are fighting for them, but the committee of workers reported numbers of such cases. Highest," they made the fatal mistake of rating America as a commercial nation lacking the ability to fight and protect its own. If they had harked back over less than a hundred and fifty years of history they would have remembered that the peace-loving Americans can lay aside their industrial implements and wield a mighty sword whenever their liberties are threatened. These boys who are going forth to fight for our freedom have a long line of heroic ancestors to emulate. One hundred and forty-two years ago their great grandfathers went to war. They were oppressed by a tyrant ruler and resented it. They went to war in defense of the declaration that all men are created equal, and that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness should be denied no man. They had no nation, but they created one, they had no flag but they fabricated one. They were a mere handful and illly equipped in comparison with the armies of the powerful king, but they kept their eyes on the goal ahead, and after a desperate struggle lasting eight long years, the foe surrendered and acknowledged their right to liberty and self-government. Old Glory, the flag to which we now doff our hats, was adopted as the national emblem of this liberty-loving people on the 14th of June, 1777. Descendants of those heroes of '76 have carried it to victory in the war of 1812, in the Mexican war, in the civil war, and the war for the emancipation of Cuba, and now the boys of 1918 are following it to Europe in defense of the principal that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth. On a hundred bloody battlefields the ancestors of these boys have carried that flag into the jaws of death and into the mouth of hell, but they always brought it back untarnished and unstained save by the heart's blood of those who gave up their lives in its defense. We believe the good red blood of those heroes is flowing in the veins of the present generation of men and that they will guard that banner and the sentiment it stands for as faithfully as did their forefathers from whose palied hands they received it as a sacred heritage. That flag has never been lowered or surrendered to an enemy, and it never will be. But while these boys are going forth to face death in defense of our liberties and our possessions, what are we doing to help the nation in its hour of stress? We can dismiss them on the way to the front with a cheer and thank God the young men of America are not afraid to fight for the preservation of our altars and our fires, but cheers and flattering words do not pay the debt we owe them. When this government declared war and issued a call for help every man, ANOTHER VICTIM CLAIMED BY SEA David Hamler Yields Up His Life in Attempting to Save Others The insatiable maw of the ocean has claimed another victim from Anaheim. attempt to swim out through the raging surf. The other man gave up the attempt and returned to the shore, supposing Hamler had also got safely back. All the endangered men were saved by life savers from Seal Beach or by others, Frank Dyer managing to bring one to shore. It was announced that all were accounted for, but Erickson was unable to find Hamler on the map of the United States and her people one hundred per cent loyal. NECESSARY TO CHECK PURCHASES OF SUGAR Housewives Abuse Home Canning Privileges It Is Claimed The United States Food Administration, through Mrs. A. J. Lawton, to twice the combined wealth of England and France, while the war has cost us so far only 5 per cent of our assessment, half of that being loaned to our allies. Notwithstanding the appalling drain on their people neither England nor France has been compelled to a forced loan system, and it is to be hoped the people of the United States will prove as patriotic as the English and French. It is difficult to believe that men of means have hitherto been shirking the duty they owe to their country, to the community in which they live and to the boys who are fighting for them, but the committee of workers reported numbers of such cases. Many refused to loan money to the government because they could get a larger interest from individual loans, and they attempted to save their faces by purchasing a bond of the smallest denomination. Others declined to invest because their money is tied up and they would be compelled to make some small sacrifice. The sacrifices the boys in the army are making do not appeal to them. These boys are giving up the comforts at home and suffering extreme hardships in the muddy trenches. They are sacrificing high wages at home and working twenty-four hours a day for a dollar. They are sacrificing promising business interests and splendid opportunities, and when they return will be compelled to begin their career at the bottom again. They are facing the danger from Hun bullets, shells and gas, and many of them are making the supreme sacrifice by yielding up their lives in defense of the families and worldly possessions of the men at home. When the Civil War ended the man who skulked and avoided doing his duty by hook or crook was a pariah and cut a sorry figure in the community ever after. Furthermore, the odium was handed down to his children and his children's children. At the close of this war there will be two classes of slackers whose standing among the people will be anything but enviable. One is the young man of military age who, without a valid exemption claim manages to escape the army, the other is the man with money who refuses the nation in its conduct of a war which it is waging to prevent a ruthless and inhuman foe from making him a vassal and his property worthless. Dig up, gentle reader, don't be a slacker. Anaheim is required to loan the government $376,000. This, considering the wealth and prosperity of the community, is a small sum. Chairman McCord must be able to wire Washington at the close of three week's Liberty Loan campaign, that Anaheim is still on the map of the United States and her people one hundred per cent loyal. ANOTHER VICTIM CLAIMED BY SEA David Hamler Yields Up His Life in Attempting to Save Others The insatiable maw of the ocean has claimed another victim from Anaheim. People of this city were shocked Monday morning to learn that David Hamler, one of Anaheim's best known young men, had been drowned at Anaheim Landing on the previous day, while making an heroic attempt to rescue three men whose boat had been capsized by a rip tide at the mouth of the bay, and who were frantically signalling for help. Hamler, accompanied by his wife and little daughter, and Al Erickson motored down to the beach Sunday afternoon and stopped at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Gade, parents of Mrs. Hamler. The two men donned bathing suits and went down onto the sands. While they were there a boat, containing three men, which attempted to cross the bar from the bay into the open sea, was caught by a rip tide and capsized. It was observed that the three men were in peril, and a second boat, one of its crew being Frank Dyer of this city, started to the rescue. This boat was also caught by the tide and capsized. Seeing the danger the men were in Dave, who was in the water at the time, called for a rope. The rope was procured and he, accompanied by a man whose name is unknown, started toward the imperiled men, evidently intending to make an attempt to swim out through the raging surf. The other man gave up the attempt and returned to the shore, supposing Hamler had also got safely back. All the endangered men were saved by life savers from Seal Beach or by others, Frank Dyer managing to bring one to shore. It was announced that all were accounted for, but Erickson was unable to find Hamler on the sands and he subsequently found that he had not returned to the Gade residence. Search was made for him, but all were finally convinced that he had been caught by the treacherous tide and drowned. The waters were combed all night, and at 9 o'clock Monday morning the body was discovered by a woman floating in the bay. When he was lifted into a boat his arms were folded across his breast and there was a smile on his face. The remains were brought to Anaheim, the funeral being held at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors yesterday afternoon. David Hamler was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Hamler. He was born at Moline, Illinois, January 2, 1888, and came to this city with his parents ten years ago. He was a graduate of the Moline high school and had been a student at the Illinois state university three years before coming to California. He was married to Miss Mabel Gade, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Gade, six years ago, and his wife and a three-year-old child survive him. For a number of years he has been assistant to City Engineer Steward, and has given the city faithful and valuable services. He has lived a clean, upright and honorable life, and NECESSARY TO CHECK PURCHASES OF SUGAR Housewives Abuse Home Canning Privileges It Is Claimed The United States Food Administration, through Mrs. A. J. Lawton, Orange county administrator, has announced that a careful check will hereafter be made of all purchases of sugar for canning. Information, clearly showing that the home canning certificate plan has been abused, is the cause of the step. Henceforth, every yellow canning slip turned in will be checked and where it is found that one family has secured a large amount of sugar an inspector will be sent to the home to ascertain the amount of preserves that have been put up. Where it is found that the stock of preserves does not equal the amount of sugar purchased, prosecutions will follow, it is announced. Notice is also served on all retailers of sugar that, under no consideration, will they be reimbursed for sales of home canning sugar unless canning certificates which they turn in to the administration officers bear the names of the precinct or local chairman of the woman's division. his untimely death is sincerely mourned by the entire community. The stricken parents, wife and child have the sympathy of all. He died the death of a hero, giving his life in an attempt to save others. FARM SCHOOL AT ORANGE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY All the Farmers in the County Invited to Attend Charles P. Hawkins, advertising manager of the Los Angeles branch of the International Harvester Company, completed arrangements for the school to be held at Orange on September 27 and 28. Agriculture, horticulture, marketing and home economics will be treated by competent men at the meeting. Fertilization, irrigation and fumigation of cirtus fruits will receive special attention. Every farmer in Orange county is invited to attend the two days' meetings. The purpose of the meetings will be to help the people of this community to increase their crop production, conserve food and solve the many problems in agriculture, horticulture and home making. Among the important subjects that will be thrown open for discussion will be the packing of fruits and vegetables and the marketing of products. The plan is to hold both day and evening sessions, at which admission will be free and everybody, men, women and children, will be welcome. Able lecturers will take part in the meetings and will talk on various subjects, such as Soil, Dairying, Livestock, Alfalfa, Fruit, Potatoes, Poultry, Spraying, Packing and Marketing of Fruits and Vegetables, Home Canning and Preserving, War Bread and Home Convenences. CONSIDERATION OF PROBLEM IS OPPORTUNE QUESTION THAT VITALLY AFECTS MANY COMMUNITIES NOW SEEKING SOLUTION SITUATION THAT MAY REQUIRE COMBINED EFFORT FOR ADJUDICATION As all reputable newspapers are considered to be pretty good barometers of the public pulse, and as several of these journals have reprinted the article appearing in these columns last week in reference to an outfall sewerage system to the sea, it may be inferred that an undertaking of that kind would meet with the approval of citizens generally throughout the county where the problem of sewerage disposal is a question of much concern. A project of this sort would be a big venture, but if the several cities in the county would co-operate many of the apparently insurmountable problems would fade away. A right of way would no doubt be one difficult to obtain, but again if the several towns The plan is to hold both day and evening sessions, at which admission will be free and everybody, men, women and children, will be welcome. Able lecturers will take part in the meetings and will talk on various subjects, such as Soil, Dairying, Livestock, Alfalfa, Fruit, Potatoes, Poultry, Spraying, Packing and Marketing of Fruits and Vegetables, Home Canning and Preserving, War Bread and Home Conveniences. The speakers will be people of actual, practical experience in the work upon which they will lecture and at every session the subjects treated will be thrown open for discussion. In these lectures large charts and lantern slides will be used and many practical demonstrations will be conducted. Moving pictures and lantern slides will be features of the evening sessions. It is planned to conduct a question box at each meeting so that any one can have his or her difficult problems discussed. The meetings will be conducted solely to help the people of the community and they will be entirely in the hands of local committees. TWENTY MORE MEN GOING TO CAMP KEARNY Local Board Will Entrain a Score of Men For Army Twenty men are to be entrained by the local exemption board for Camp Kearny during the five-day period, commencing Monday, October 7. The twenty men will be selected from the following list: C. Leo Porter, Placentia. L. J. Wester, La Habra. Charles H. Hart, La Habra. Guy Sawyer, Hinckley, Utah, formerly of West Commonwealth avenue, Fullerton. Troy O. Barrett, Brea. Samuel A. Ferguson, Huntington Beach. Guy Ford, Orange. Loren W. Smith, Seal Beach. John W. Ferguson, Huntington Beach. Arthur J. Varian, Los Angeles, formerly of Seal Beach. Warren P. Mingus, La Habra. Marvin D. Fickle, Montebello. Howard F. Swoap, Brea. James Gow, Los Angeles. Paul E. Blakemore, Brea. Gordon Jones, Fullerton. Daniel C. Kindle, Fallbrook. A new feature of the school years is the compulsory physical training under state law. All students must take some form of physical culture unless they can present an order against it. FOUR-MINUTE MEN TO EXCHANGE PLATFORMS County Speakers Will Scatter Through Different Cities On the theory that a change of pasture will be good for both speakers and audiences, as the result of a meeting Wednesday, four-minute men of Orange county will be scheduled to appear at theaters in other places in the county, while speakers from other cities will speak in theaters in other places than their own. The meeting opened with a luncheon served at the Red Cross by the committee of which Mrs. Marie Turner is A new feature of the school years is the compulsory physical training under state law. All students must take some form of physical culture unless they can present an order against it signed by a physician who is acquainted with the requirements of the school. chairman. Judge W. H. Thomas, county chairman of the four-minute men, presided. As a result of this meeting monthly gatherings of the four-minute men will be held. A feature of the meeting was the excellent spirit of co-operation shown by the moving picture house managers from all over the county. The movie managers declared that they were well pleased with the way the speaking has been handled, and declared that they are willing that speakers shall take more than four minutes when there is some subject up for discussion that needs more than that time for proper presentation. Chairman Williams, of Los Angeles, head of the personnel board campaigning for men for Y. M. C. A. work, outlined the need of high grade men for the various kinds of work in the Y. M. C. A. Outstanding men are needed. There is an over-supply of mediocre men. R. L. Bisby, county chairman for the Fourth Liberty Loan drive, explained to the four-minute men some of the plans for the big drive.
