VOLUME XXXXVII RED LETTER DAY ON ANAHEIM'S CALENDAR IN HONOR OF COLUMBUS SPECIAL EFFORTS WILL BE MADE TO SELL BONDS SATURDAY NO CESSATION IN CAMPAIGN BECAUSE OF KAISER'S BOGUS PEACE PROPOSALS Owing to the inability of the committee to secure the Fort McArthur band and a Liberty tank on that date the Columbus Day celebration which was being arranged for Saturday has been called off. This day, the 425th anniversary of the discovery of America, has been proclaimed Liberty Day throughout the United States, and most of the towns and cities will celebrate with appropriate exercises boosting the bond sales. Anaheim was expening to have a fitting celebration but the committee has decided instead to devote the day to a strenuous effort to double up the subscriptions gard to the men who have not done their bit, and it undoubtedly will be done from what the committee tells me. "President Wilson has said that there will be no more secret peace treaties. The drafted soldier is marched down the street that the eyes of the entire community may see who and what he is, so why not march the subscription of the individual down the street so that the community may see who and what it is? Are dollars more precious than men? I say not. Let us not have to resort to these stringent measures; let us be men and buy these bonds in proportion to what we should." HELP THE BOYS BY SAVING SHELLS Ralph P. Merritt, federal food administrator for California, has sent the following to all grocers throughout the state, and the grocers are asking every-body, especially the children, to help collect all the fruit pits and shells. There is no money in it for anybody, but it will help preserve the lives of the boys in the trenches. Only the best masks will save our boys from painful death. These masks cannot be made without good charcoal. Wood charcoal has proved deficient. The necesary charcoal can be made from the pits and shells named below.

It is passing world whose phabunnormally enla heads for a small munity has the means who are will content the small denomina making good th their neighbors his easy consol demination of al the Columbus Day celebration which was being arranged for Saturday has been called off. This day, the 425th anniversary of the discovery of America, has been proclaimed Liberty Day throughout the United States, and most of the towns and cities will celebrate with appropriate exercises boosting the bond sales. Anaheim was expecting to have a fitting celebration but the committee has decided instead to devote the day to a strenuous effort to double up the subscriptions and reach the top of our thermometer. Every citizen of Anaheim and its vicinity should co-operate, and when Saturday night comes let it be recorded, for the honor of old Christopher Columbus, that Anaheim is 100 per cent loyal to the land, which he discovered on the 12th day of October, 1492. There is to be no abatement of effort in the Liberty Loan drive because of the wall for peace that comes from Berlin. It is only another bogus card the Kaiser is plying in the hope of deluding the American people into the belief that the war is over. "We must go on," declared Chairman R. L. Bisby of the county committee. "We have our work cut out for us, and we have got to do it. This offer of peace must not slow us down. If we slow down, why that is the very thing Germany wants. Peace has not been declared, and we must fight all the harder. Even if peace were declared, our country would need every dollar of this six billion to see that Germany does disarm and to keep our men over there ready to break her back if she wabled the slightest in carrying out the terms of peace. Every dollar of it will be needed to establish the kind of peace that we are fighting for. "Personally, I believe that the German offer of peace, coming right now, is the cleverist kind of a German scheme to break down our war speed. We must not fall for it. Instead of alowing down, every mother's son and every mother's daughter should put into the drive every ounce of strength that there may be the added argument at the conference table, if such a thing as a conference is held now, showing the Germans that we mean business through and through." "In the number of subscriptions to the Fourth Liberty Loan the people have responded in a most liberal manner, but not in the amount," says Mr. Bisby. "It seems that they do not yet get the idea that this loan is for twice the amount of the last loan, consequently subscriptions must be doubled if we expect to get our quota. following to all grocers throughout the state, and the grocers are asking everybody, especially the children, to help collect all the fruit pits and shells.

These masks cannot be made without good charcoal. Wood charcoal has proved deficient. The necesary charcoal can be made from the pits and shells named below. Enormous quantities of these are needed at once. The government needs every stone and pit and must have them immediately. We ask you to save them and to immediately place an adequate receptacle in a conspicuous place in your store with a sign, printed in large letters, reading: "A Few Peach Stones May Save a Soldier's Life "Leave yours here and help make gas masks. Peach stones Cherry pits Prune pits Date seeds Plum pits Brazil nut shells Apricot pits Hickory nut shells Olive pits Walnut shells Butternut shells "We need these now. Before depositing they should be thoroughly dried in an oven or in the sun. "Remember the list. Under no circumstances deposit any other pits or shells." "We are collecting these for the army at the request of the United States food administration." The Red Cross will be in active charge in your district and will see to the shipment of material collected. Arrangements should be made with them for collection and for details of drying in cases where large producers are not able to tend to this drying themselves. It is very important that all pits should be thoroughly dried before shipment. Additional information as to handling of pits may be had from Lieut. L. H. Bastin, Chemical Warfare Service, Potrero Division, San Francisco, Cal.

"In the number of subscriptions to the Fourth Liberty Loan the people have responded in a most liberal manner, but not in the amount," says Mr. Bisby. "It seems that they do not yet get the idea that this loan is for twice the amount of the last loan, consequently subscriptions must be doubled if we expect to get our quota. With the wonderful reports that are coming in from the war front, it should stimulate our people to an increased subscription in order that supplies may be furnished our men, so that this war can be finished and finished quickly. The most important thing is to increase the subscription of the bond buyer. There are many men in this community worth from $50,000 to $150,000, who have bought $500 worth of bonds and quit. Now I want to say to you men that you are not doing your duty. You must buy more bonds. The man and woman of moderate means is buying his or her limit, and it is you who have the money that are not responding as liberally as you should. It may be that you are waiting until you see how it will go. This is not good fighting sense. You must buy these bonds and buy them now. Our city is making a very poor showing up to the present time. Most of the communities in the county are "over." In fact, all the small communities are "over," and they have bought liberally. "It is up to the man with money to buy bonds in proportion to the amount of his wealth. It may be necessary that a special committee shall have to wait on the man who has not done his bit. It may be necessary to give a certain amount of publicity in re- CONGRESS OF MOTHERS AT YORBA LINDA Fourth District Will Hold Convention on Saturday, October 12 The Fourth District, California Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher associations will be entertained at its October meeting at Yorba Linda on October 12, morning session opening at 9:30 o'clock. It is expected that two of the state chairmen will be present and have important places on the program, namely, Mrs. Donald R. Green, of Sacramento, state chairman of extension, and Mrs. Jeremiah M. Rhoades, of Pasadena, state chairman of education. Mrs. Green desires to meet as many federation chairmen as possible at this meeting, and Mrs. Rhoades will bring important facts in education and Americanization work. The amendments to be on the ballot for the November election will be discussed, and plans for the coming year will also combine to make a program of much value to every public spirited person in Orange county. TESTS SHOW VALUE OF RIGHT SEED One variety of wheat produced at the rate of 66.6 bushels per acre, while another variety, grown under the same conditions, produced at the rate of 38.3 bushels in tests recently completed at the Georgia experiment station, in which the United States department of agriculture co-operated. The data adds to the proof already on hand that it pays to sow the right variety—the variety that is best suited to the conditions in sections in which it is grown. In each state or wheat-growing district there are various departments, which yields than others, the same culture. In familiar with the bites for their section information on the state experiment station States department Varietal experiment same station results... ANAHEIM MUST NOT FAIL Notwithstanding the indefatigable work of the precinct captains and lieutenants who have carried the message into every house that bleeding America confides that every citizen will do his duty and enlist his dollars if he cannot enlist his body at this critical hour, the latest reports show that in the Liberty Loan drive we are woefully short of the subscription required to clear our skirts of the taint of slackerism. Twelve of the twenty-two days' campaign have passed, and the registration boards show that only $250,000 of the $394,000 asked of us has been subscribed. Every section of the Anaheim district has been worked, practically every person in the district has been importuned, but the totals show that the people are not yet awake to the condition that confronts them. The situation is discouraging, but the workers upon whose shoulders rest the responsibility of keeping Anaheim's name untarnished are still full of pep, and determined that Anaheim shall not fail. It is passing strange that there are men in the world whose phrenological bump of selfishness is so abnormally enlarged that there is no room on their heads for a small bump of patriotism, but every community has them. These men—we mean men of means who are amply able to do a generous part, will content themselves with purchasing a bond of small denomination, and shunt the responsibility of making good their dereliction onto the shoulders of their neighbors. Such a man may be able to salve his easy conscience, but he cannot escape the condemnation of all with whom he comes in daily anxiously looking back across the sea, hoping for a continuation of the line of ships loaded with the provisions, the comforts, the medical supplies and the munitions of war that will enable them to carry on until the monster that threatens us is eliminated from the earth. Are we going to fail them in their hour of need? If we do we are guilty of a criminal action, and we deserve to forfeit their friendship and their regard. Anaheim has 250 boys in the army and navy fighting for us, and they confidently expect us to carry out our part of the program of war as faithfully and patriotically as they are performing their duties, consequently Anaheim must not fail them. These boys are sacrificing their time, their business prospects and their lives in defense of the flag, while we are asked merely to loan a little money for its defense, which will return to us, not only with interest but with a premium. The government has made the payments on Liberty bonds easy, but the banks of Anaheim have patriotically come forward with a proposition that makes it still easier for the bond buyer who has only a small income or a salary. In a circular letter issued Saturday, signed by the First National, Anaheim National, Golden State and Southern County bank, they say: "We, the undersigned banks and bankers of Anaheim, will assist those who earnestly desire to purchase Fourth Liberty Loan bonds, in financing this undertaking to the best of our ability. Money will be advanced at the rate of 4½ per cent for the first 90 days, with the bonds as collateral. An initial payment of only 10 per cent is required. Thereafter, if..." It is passing strange that there are men in the world whose phrenological bump of selfishness is so abnormally enlarged that there is no room on their heads for a small bump of patriotism, but every community has them. These men—we mean men of means who are amply able to do a generous part, will content themselves with purchasing a bond of small denomination, and shunt the responsibility of making good their dereliction onto the shoulders of their neighbors. Such a man may be able to salve his easy conscience, but he cannot escape the condemnation of all whom he comes in daily contact. Any man who is able to do his part and fails his country in this crisis should be classed as an Ishmaelite. Germany is now subscribing its ninth loan and when it is completed the people of that empire will have loaned the government 37 billion dollars for the prosecution of the war. This stupendous sum was loaned the imperial government by the people for the purpose of financing a war of conquest, and everybody who reads the papers now knows that the United States was included in their scheme of conquest, and that they fully expected to reimburse themselves generously from our conquered territory. If the German people voluntarily subscribe 60 per cent of the nation's total wealth and sacrifice millions of men for purposes of gain, we should not hesitate to loan a portion of our surplus to assist the government in defending us from their unholy cupidity. The Liberty Loan committee is now asking those who have already subscribed to help Anaheim make good by doubling up their subscriptions. Many have responded generously, but there are hundreds of others who are amply able financially, but have not yet done so. The boys at the front are making good. They are daring, suffering and dying in defense of our lives, our liberties and our possessions, and are CALIFORNIA LIBERTY FAIR That the California Liberty fair is to have almost world-fair proportions was definitely determined yesterday at a meeting of the directors, when arrangements were made for an athletic carnival, bringing in the soldiers and sailors from all of the camps; for a fireworks display that will bring the war directly home to a half million or more people; for horse racing with some of the fastest harness and running horses ever competing, and for a picture play pageant that will rival the best. Word is now being sent out to every county in California, to every city and town on the Pacific Coast, that this fair is to be the magnet that is to attract a throng never before equaled. Manager C. R. Thomas, of the live stock department, announces that he already has on his books more entries than the barns upon the grounds will hold. ANAHEIM SOLDIER BOY IN HOSPITAL WOUNDED Bidal Ruiz Got Two Huns With Revolver and Wants to Get More Mrs. Ramona Ruiz has just received a letter from her son, Bidal Ruiz, who has been doing his bit in the trenches in France. Bidal was in a hospital when the letter was written on September 10, recovering from a wound which he received in one of the desperate battles in which he was engaged, but he expected soon to be discharged and sent back to the front. Here is an extract from his letter that indicates he is making good: "Well, mother, the Germans are sure getting licked. We gave them a good beating in the last fight I was in. I got so close to them that I had to use my pistol, and shot two of them. It was sure some battle, but I suppose you read an account of it in the papers. We got the Germans in the open where we could get at them. Tell pana LEMONS BRING LARGE RETURNS Prices Advancing Rapidly on Account of Epidemic and Crop Brings Millions According to recent reports nearly 5,400 cars of California lemons have been shipped from this state since the first of the fiscal year for this citrus fruit. The year for lemons is figured from November 1 and as the end of the year approaches there is wide interest in this section of the state regarding the showing of the crop. With an advancing market in the East it is difficult to give any idea of what the value of the crop will be. Present prices rule around $7.65 a box, but there are many who look for a $10 market for lemons before the end of the winter. It is pointed out that there will be a continued demand for the California product, particularly in the sections affected by the Spanish influenza, as this fruit is used largely in hot drinks for fighting the oil. 6.

Word is now being sent out to every county in California, to every city and town on the Pacific Coast, that this fair is to be the magnet that is to attract a throng never before equaled. Manager C. R. Thomas, of the live stock department, announces that he already has on his books more entries than the barns upon the grounds will hold. It is now necessary, he says, to build additional barns, as the cattle are coming from Arizona, Colorado, Washington and Canada, in addition to the numerous herds of California. More horse entries have been received than were expected, and all departments will be well filled. He and his assistants are working night and day checking out an official catalogue and program, which will be ready for distribution at the opening of the show. From Imperial Valley there is to be an exhibit that, according to Mrs. May Davis, will show what Imperial Valley can do. The Chamber of Commerce of El Centro will be represented with an exhibit from Imperial county, and the products of that wonderland are to be shown in a way never before attempted by that part of our state. There are varieties, according to the department, which produce higher yields than others, even when given the same culture. If growers are not familiar with the high-yielding varieties for their section, they can obtain information on the subject from their state experiment station or the United States department of agriculture. Varietal experiments with rye at the same station resulted in one variety producing at the rate of 43 bushels per acre and another 37.3 bushels. Similar tests with barley resulted in one variety producing at the rate of 70.5 bushels per acre and another 55.2 bushels when grown under the same conditions. S. J. Jackman, owing to ill health, gives notice that he will resign October 19th from the active work of the Taxpayers' League. The Orange County Tire Co. has opened a branch of its business at Buena Park with J. E. Wright in charge. With an advancing market in the East it is difficult to give any idea of what the value of the crop will be. Present prices rule around $7.65 a box, but there are many who look for a $10 market for lemons before the end of the winter. It is pointed out that there will be a continued demand for the California product, particularly in the sections affected by the Spanish influenza, as this fruit is used largely in the hot drinks for fighting the epidemic. Up to the present, however, California has shipped on the average of sixteen car loads of lemons a day since November 1, 1917. As there are 450 boxes to the car, it is estimated that the growers of this state have earned over $8,500,000. With an advancing market and a continued demand to supply the shortage in the East, it is not improbable that the returns for the year will reach $10,000,000 for California. Lemons, of course, are used mostly in a sweetened form, and the general impression that the restriction of use of sugar would hurt the market to any great extent has proved to be wrong. The development of the grape sugars for syrups and so extensively in use at soda fountains of today has proved a boom to the lemon. In fact, the curtailed importation and steady demand has really tended to encourage growers, and next year the production will be even larger than at present. Preparations are making for the erection of another packing house in Anaheim by the company recently organized by members of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association as a branch of that company. It will cost $35,000. WILSON'S PEACE TERMS OUTLINED IN JANUARY The President's Fourteen Proposals as a Basis For War's End Following are the propositions which President Wilson promulgated as the terms on which America would consider peace. Prince Maximilian, the new imperial chancellor, announced to the world Saturday that Germany was willing to accede to these terms and begin peace negotiations. However, there is probably a joker up the Kaiser's sleeve, and peace will be discussed only after Germany has carried out these fourteen propositions: 1. Open covenants of peace. 2. Absolute freedom of the seas. 3. Removal of all economic barriers. 4. Guarantees for the reduction of national armaments. 5. Imperial adjustment of all colonial claims. 6. Evacuation of all Russian territory. 7. Evacuation of Belgium. 8. All French territory to be freed and restored and reparation for the taking of Alsace-Lorraine. 9. Readjustment of Italy's frontiers. 10. Greatest opportunity for autonomous development of the peoples of Austria-Hungary. 11. Evacuation of Rumania, Serbia, Montenegro. 12. Secure sovereignty for Turkey's NEW DRAFT MEN SOON WILL BE CALLED CLASSIFICATION OF REGISTRANTS BEING SPEEDED UP BY VARIOUS EXEMPTION BOARDS MEN FROM 37 TO 45 WILL BE NEEDED TO FILL QUOTA FOR OVERSEAS ARMY Classification of the men drawn for service in the army on September 30 is progressing rapidly, and those between the ages of 19 and 36, listed in Class 1, will be given physical examinations at the earliest possible moment. The government has requested exemption boards to speed up and get men in the new draft ready for the two calls already issued, one for 140,000 men and the other for 20,019. These latter men, under a call issued Friday by Provost Marshal General Crowder will be sent to special schools of instruction. The call has nothing to do with the 140,000 call which was temporarily delayed by the prevalence 6. Evacuation of all Russian territory. 7. Evacuation of Belgium. 8. All French territory to be freed and restored and paration for the taking of Alsace-Lorraine. 9. Readjustment of Italy's frontiers. 10.

Secure sovereignty for Turkey's portion of the Ottoman empire. 13. Establishment of an independent Polish state. 14. General association of nations to guarantee integrity of small states. President Wilson in his speech of last September 27, with regard to peace, said: "First, the impartial justice meted out must involve no discrimination between those to whom we wish to be just and those to whom we do not wish to be just. It must be a justice that plays no favorites and knows no standard but the equal rights of the several people concerned." "Second, no special or separate interest of any single nation or any group of nations can be made the basis of any part of the settlement which is not consistent with the common interests of all." "Third, there can be no leagues or alliances or special covenants and understandings with the general and common family of the league of nations." "Fourth, and more specifically, there can be no special, selfish, economic combinations within the league and no employment of any form of economic boycott or exclusion except as the power of economic penalty by exclusion from the markets of the world may be vested in the league of nations itself as a means of discipline and control." "Fifth, all international agreements and treaties of every kind must be made known, in their entirety, to the rest of the world." U. S.

Stebbins of the bureau of education, Washington, who is regional director of this army for the western states, has established headquarters in the council's offices at the Ferry building, San Francisco. President Wilson is the commander-in-chief and he has urged that every encouragement and active support should be given to this valuable auxiliary. He says the children will "all like to feel that they are in fact fighting in France by joining the home garden army." The plan is to organize school boys and girls into companies of 150 or less under the direction of a garden teacher, a captain, first lieutenant and second lieutenant. An insignia will be presented to each enlisted soldier. Captains will have a double bronze bar; first lieutenant, single brone bar with two stars in the border; and one star for the second lieutenants. Privates will all have the combination brone and black enamel bar. One million and a half boys and girls have already responded and are enlisted. Twenty thousand acres of unproductive home and vacant lots have been converted into productive land. Fifty thousand teachers have received valuable instruction in gardening. Hundreds of thousands of parents have become interested and are working with their children in home gardens.
