ORANGE COUNTY LEADS WORLD IN CHILIS GARDEN GROVE'S CROP THIS SEASON WILL YIELD GROWERS A MILLION DOLLARS F. B. KEALIHER ESTABLISHING PROFITABLE INDUSTRY GRINDING CULLS INTO POWDER In the Garden Grove section is being produced the bulk of the chili pepper crop of Orange county, which probably leads the nation in the amount of the "hot stuff" harvested this season. There are in the district close to 5,000 acres, which will within the next two months be ripe. For many years this section has produced peppers in large quantities. The acreage has fluctuated from year to year, for some have switched to other rops occasionally. But the men who have stuck to the pepper have made good. J. Allan Knapp is the leader among the growers. For years he has kept steadily on with the crop, studying the conditions of local production and the market conditions as no other man has done. He has not only made a success for himself, but his faith in the pepper and his example have been an incentive to many others. Last season less than 1,000 acres were planted. But the outlook this GERMANY'S ATTITUDE. Germany's third move in her latest peace offensive has been unofficially recorded. It marks a new epoch in the war, for it carries the official declaration of the German government that torpedoing of passenger vessels by submarines has been forbidden and abandoned. There is a further declaration that autocratic features of the German constitution are being so revised that the consent of the Reichstag will henceforth be necessary before the emperor can declare war or conclude peace. The constitution is being further so revised that the membership of the Reichstag shall be elected by equal franchise and secret ballot. These reforms, which were termed Socialistic before the war, have been formally indorsed by the German government. The indorsement consisted in a vote of approval passed last week after the convocation of the Bundesrath, or council of the princes, in Berlin. There is a conventional denial in the latest note that the German armies have been officially guilty of atrocities on land, or that the German navy has ever purposely destroyed lifeboats after torpedoing passenger ships. That outrages have been committed is not denied; but the government asserts that these crimes were not approved by official sanction and that the malefactors, when apprehended, were suitably punished. A part of the translation of the press copy of the note relating to an armistice is unintelligible. The note agrees with President Wilson that the procedure of evacuation and the conditions of an armistice should be left to the judgment of the military advisors; but there is a further condition "that the actual standard of power on both sides on the field has to form the basis for arrangements, etc." Either But the men who have stuck to the pepper have made good. J. Allan Knapp is the leader among the growers. For years he has kept steadily on with the crop, studying the conditions of local production and the market conditions as no other man has done. He has not only made a success for himself, but his faith in the pepper and his example have been an incentive to many others. Last season less than 1,000 acres were planted. But the outlook this season was so good that much valuable land has been given over to the crop. The prices are justifying the expectation. Somewhere around 15 cents will be received. At Garden Grove a new brick chili warehouse 60x120 feet in dimension has been built by F. B. Kealiher, of Anaheim. His specialty will be the making of the various chili powders used as condiments and for which there is a good demand. This warehouse is located close to the Pacific Electric station on the side track and is equipped to handle a good slice of the local crop. Recently, also, Mr. Knapp erected a warehouse to handle his own crop. Other shipments are made through Los Angeles shipping houses, to which place many peppers go direct by auto truck. The railway gets the bulk of the shipments, but some of the growers have found it convenient to send the product direct over the paved roads. Another new warehouse is now being completed at Buena Park, where there are many acres in chilis, a situation quite unusual here where hitherto few chilis have been grown. This packing-house belongs to Joannes Brothers, of Los Angeles, and it will receive the crop green and do the drying in the specially provided equipment. The demand for the chili is strong and much of the crop will go to far eastern points. Texas probably will receive more than any other one location. The Mexicans are particularly fond of chili, as everyone knows, and there are many of them in the Lone Star State. They make many more uses of the pepper than do Americans. They stuff them and bake them, make stews in which the pepper predominates, put them into "curry," which it is easy to learn to like as a meat and vegetable stew, and use them in numerous ways. There are several varieties of chili pepper. One is the sweet chili which can be eaten fresh from the vine if you and that the malefactors, when apprehended, were suitably punished. A part of the translation of the press copy of the note relating to an armistice is unintelligible. The note agrees with President Wilson that the procedure of evacuation and the conditions of an armistice should be left to the judgment of the military advisors; but there is a further condition "that the actual standard of power on both sides on the field has to form the basis for arrangements, etc." Either something has been omitted in the translation or the German note on this point is intentionally vague. The German government further trusts that "the President of the United States will approve no demand that will be irreconcilable with-the honor of the German people." While the note refers repeatedly to peace negotiations, the present correspondence between the German government and President Wilson must not be confused with a peace conference. President Wilson has never expressed a willingness to discuss terms of peace with the German government, and the present negotiations can be considered only as informal negotiation relating to an armistice. The question posed by the German notes is whether there shall be an armistice at this time for a discussion of peace terms. President Wilson has made plain that he will not attempt to answer either. The question whether the Allies shall consider Germany's proposal for an armistice will doubtless be decided by a council of the Allied governments. Before the military advisers can enter upon the details of an armistice the Supreme Council of the Allies must determine whether an armistice is advisable at this time. President Wilson, Lloyd George and Premier Clemenceau have all expressed an unwillingness to discuss terms of peace or to have any official dealings with the present German government. While there may be a change in the authority vested in that government, the fact remains that the personnel is the same. From the tone of the present note it is evident that the German government is frantic for peace, that internal dissensions have passed beyond its control and that the German people have reached a point where they will no longer support the war politics of their overlords. The rank and file in the German army, as well as the working classes at home, have had enough of war. They have more confidence in President Wilson than in They —To get pitched business houses abounded so frequently a habit with a certain troublesome one set with a crust that if treatment, and has ventured around to being run out of it attempt to gain en ing in order to get There are several varieties of chili pepper. One is the sweet chili which can be eaten fresh from the vine if you like them. The growers say they have trouble with the boys who get into the fields and pick the ripe, red pods and eat them like fruit. A Mexican does it instinctively; any ordinary boy can easily learn to like them and maybe the ordinary older mortal might. But the taste is not like any other thing you call "sweet." When the crop is harvested the pods have to be dried. The old way was to place them in trays and let old Sol do the work. This took too long to be entirely profitable. So the modern chili dryer was brought into use. In it in three days, or a little more, a green crop fresh from the field becomes the dried pepper ready for shipment. In the dryer the peppers are arranged on trays and subjected to high temperature. Gas is used chiefly for fuel and the burners ranged in pits on either side of the dryer are kept going constantly. The only respite for the season is when the dryer is emptied and filled again. When dried the pods are placed in big sacks for shipment. The crop from the acreage in the Garden Grove section will bring to the growers close to $1,000,000. From $150 to $300 an acre can be produced. The expense of growing is not much if any greater than in other crops. So the ranchers who have peppers this year will make money. From the tone of the present note it is evident that the German government is frantic for peace, that internal dissensions have passed beyond its control and that the German people have reached a point where they will no longer support the war politics of their overlords. The rank and file in the German army, as well as the working classes at home, have had enough of war. They have more confidence in President Wilson than in their own rulers; and their present attitude indicates that any peace of which President Wilson will approve is preferable to their present condition. The fact that the military force of the Allies has compelled the German government to adopt the reforms referred to in the German note is in itself sufficient to make the great masses if the German people feel prejudiced in a way in favor of the enemies of their own tottering government. Allied guns have proved more persuasive than German votes. But the reforms which the people have already won will not suffice. They have learned that their war lords are not invincible. Autocracy in Germany is dead. The German people will see to it that the ugly thing is never resustitated. President Wilson's course in not rejecting summarily Germany's proposal for an armistice has already borne good fruit. Two things have been accomplished: the German government has suppressed U-Boat piracy and has agreed to so amend the German constitution that both the Kaiser and his ministers shall be responsible directly to Parliament for their acts. The dawn of liberty has broken over Germany. The German people are taking the reins of government in their own hands, and the dream of —To get pitched business houses abred so frequently a habit with a ceil troublesome one seeswith a crust that it treatment, and has ventured around to being run out of th attempt to gain en ing in order to get to be told again to beating was good incident occurred street, when the tr ran afoul of a b wouldn't stand for make matters worne one called the when he was on store Then the The angry mercha by the nape of th his pants and gentl him out in the stre it was good as a dulging in loud groans the unwel himself up and wa Next! CARD OF THANKS HAVING RESIGNED THE POSITION OF CASHIER OF THE FIRST NATIONAL AND AMERICAN SAVINGS BANKS, TO ENTER THE SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES, I WANT TO THANK ALL OF MY FRIENDS FOR THEIR KINDNESS TO ME. DURING MY THIRTY YEARS OF ASSOCIATION WITH THEM IN ANAHEIM. EDGAR J. HARTUNG world domination by the Junkers has ended in a horrible nightmare. While it would be folly for the Allied nations to relax the pressure while the German armies are active in the field, the Allied people can even now rejoice that the menace of twentieth-century piracy has been dispelled and that the power of the military - autocracy, which has terrorized Europe for more than a quarter of a century, is definitively broken. President Wilson has made clear that the details of any armistice must be left to the military command of the Allies. Marshall Eoch has already progressed, that the President of the United States demanded an unconditional surrender on the part of the German government. The intervening 30 days were filled with notes and replies fairly tripping upon each other's heels. Inasmuch as the German Government in its appeal for an armistice made on October 12 reclaimed that it acted in accord with the Austro-Hungarian government, the President in his note of October 14 made answer: "The President will make a separate reply to the Royal and Imperial Government of Austria-Hungary." That where he lived for several years, died Monday night at the Anaheim sanitarium from injuries received Sunday evening when his automobile crashed into the rear end of a buggy on the county highway near Magnolia crossing, west of Anaheim. According to reports, the buggy was being driven by J. Lopez of 1273 East First street, Santa Ana. Maganety's light car overturned as a result of the crash, and he received a broken shoulder blade, and numerous cuts and bruises. He was probably also hurt internally. Funrela services were held at 2 p.m. yesterday at Fullerton, with interment in Santa Ana cemetery. Maganety had lived in this section, recently at Placentia. He leaves a mother, formerly a resident of Santa Ana, and a wife, who before her marriage war Miss Agnes McMillan of Smeltzer. BREED ONLY THE BEST KIND OF POULTRY War Time Demands Makes Economy Imperative In wartime economy and efficiency are the keynotes of poultry production. The poultry keeper must have feed and at the same time must save poultry production. It is not the high cost of feed alone, since America entered the war, that has led to more careful attention to the routine work of keeping poultry and to greater production and skill in feeding. The saving of money has been an incentive, but above and beyond that every poultry keeper realizes that getting better production from less feed is doing double duty in conservation and production. The first result of the wartime conditions was to emphasize afresh and more effectively than ever the bene- They Say —To get pitched out bodily from business houses about town has occurred so frequently that it has become a habit with a certain gent, but the troublesome one seems to be endowed with a crust that is immune to rough treatment, and has in some instances ventured around to the back door after being run out of the front, in a vain attempt to gain entrance to the building in order to get the boss's ear, only it would be toll for the Allied nation to relax the pressure while the German armies are active in the field, the Allied people can even now rejoice that the menace of twentieth-century piracy has been dispelled and that the power of the military autocracy, which has terrorized Europe for more than a quarter of a century, is definitively broken. President Wilson has made clear that the details of any armistice must be left to the military command of the Allies. Marshall Foch has already expressed himself concerning the nature of such an armistice. He has said that before the order shall issue to stop the advance of his victorious armies adequate military guarantees must be given by Germany to guard against treachery. He demands that the great fortified cities of Metz, Strassburg and Coblenz shall be given as hostages and that the German troops shall everywhere retire within their own boundaries. Provisions for an armistice can safely be left to the discretion of the Allied military commander. The Allied peoples have a serene confidence that the Hun diplomats will not be able to secure any advantage over our military leaders. There is nothing in the note to necessitate an immediate response from President Wilson. Germany makes no further specific requests; she makes no definitive offer that requires an immediate response. The next note, if one is forthcoming, may be signed by a council of the Allies. As far as the German menace is concerned, it ceases to exist. The German government is apparently on its knees at the present time before its own people. The throne of the Hohenzollern is toottering; but it is not yet down. A little more pressure on the western front, a few more words from the mouths of the Allied cannon, and the world will be well rid of the last and worst of the autocratic governments of Europe. STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, CIRCULATION, ETC., REQUIRED BY THE ACT OF CONGRESS OF AUGUST 24, 1912 Of The Anaheim Gazette, published weekly at Anaheim, California, for October 1, 1918. State of California, County of Orange, ss. Before me, a notary public, in and for the state and county aforesaid, personally appeared Henry Kuchel, who having been duly sworn according to law, deposes and says that he is the owner of the Anaheim Gazette, and that the following is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, a true statement of the ownership, management (and if a daily paper, the circulation), etc., of the aforesaid publication for the date shown in the above caption, required by the Act of August 24, 1912, embodied in section 443, Postal Laws and Regulations, printed on the reverse of this form, to wit: 1. That the names and addresses of the publisher, editor, managing editor, and business managers are: Publisher, Henry Kuchel, Anaheim, Cal. Editor, Managing Editor, Business Manager 2. That the owners are: (Give names and addresses of individual owners, or, if a corporation, give its name and the names and addresses of stockholders thereof the war, that has led to more careful attention to the routine work of keeping poultry and to greater production and skill in feeding. The saving of money has been an incentive, but above and beyond that every poultry keeper realizes that getting better production from less feed is doing double duty in conservation and production. The first result of the wartime conditions was to emphasize fresh and more effectively than ever the benefits of graded selection of breading stock and severe culling of the young stock while growing. When this is practiced together with good poultry management the feed bill is reduced but the production of eggs is maintained and even increased in some cases. The policy of using only breeders of the very best type reduces to the lowest practical point the waste of feeding inferior young stock. If the producers of eggs and poultry for the table are doing their utmost to increase production of meat and eggs, the easiest, shortest and surest way is through general use of the mixed productive types, that is, by the use on the part of every poultry keeper of the mixed productive types of his stock. It is not meant that there should be a wholesale replacement of ordinary stock by stock or strains celebrated for extreme high production. In some To get pitched out bodily from business houses about town has occurred so frequently that it has become a habit with a certain gent, but the troublesome one seems to be endowed with a crust that is immune to rough treatment, and has in some instances ventured around to the back door after being run out of the front, in a vain attempt to gain entrance to the building in order to get the boss's ear, only to be told again to beat it while the beating was good. The latest time the incident occurred was on East Center street, when the troublesome itinerant ran afoul of a business man who wouldn't stand for his game. And to make matters worse the unwelcome one called the merchant a llar, when he was ordered out of the store Then the fire works started. The angry merchant grabbed the man by the nape of the neck and seat of his pants and gently but firmly heaved him out in the street. Bystanders said it was good as a circus, all hands indulging in loud guffaws, when amid groans the unwelcome caller picked himself up and walked rapidly away. Next! THE HAPSBURGS GO Events have marched with startling rapidity since "the Royal and Imperial Government of Austria-Hungary" invited all belligerent Governments to enter into secret and nonbinding discussions at some neutral meeting place with a view to bringing about peace. It was exactly one month from that date, the processes of diplomacy having in the meantime made amazing satisfy their aspirations, and their conception of their rights and destiny as members of the family of nations." That note is the charter of the liberties of new States. It is as well the funeral oration over the Austrian Empire, that in its day aimed at the same supremacy over Europe which latterly lured Germany on to destruction. The erection of a Czecho-Slovak republic, lying between Austria and Germany; the resurrection of Poland with a gateway on the Baltic and the surrender to that new Poland of Polish Austria; the recognition of the nationalistic aspirations of the Jugo-Slavs; the creation of the greater Serbia with access to the Adriatic; the assertion of Hungarian independence—all these tremendous changes presently must reduce the once imperial Austria to the proportions of a petty duchy. GRAPE SYRUP. Wineries in the Ontario district are converting their plants to the manufacture of grape syrup, said to be the equal to maple syrup both as a table syrup and as a substitute for sugar. The prospect of California going "dry" and National prohibition is said to have been responsible for the move. Machinery is being installed for the manufacture of grape syrup at wineries at Guasti, Cucamonga and Rochester. Experiments at the University of California are said to have shown that grape syrup will relieve the sugar shortage. DIED FROM INJURIES Hayes Maganety, well known throughout the county, especially in the Westminster-Smeltzer district, shown in the above caption, required by the Act of August 24, 1912, embodied in section 443, Postal Laws and Regulations, printed on the reverse of this form, to wit: 1.

None. 4. That the two paragraphs next above, giving the names of the owners, stockholders, and security holders, if any, contain not only the list of stockholders and security holders as they appear upon the books of the company but also, in cases where the stockholder or security holder appears upon the books of the company as trustee or in any other fiduciary relation, the name of the person or corporation for whom such trustee is acting, is given; also that the two paragraphs contain statements embracing affiant's full knowledge and belief as to the circumstances and conditions under which stockholders and security holders who do not appear upon the books of the company as trustees, hold stock and securities in a capacity other than that of a bona fide owner; and this affiant has no reason to believe that any other person, association, or corporation has any interest direct or indirect in the said stock, bonds, or other securities than as so stated by him.

JACKSON'S MEN'S WEAR SHOP YOUR MONEY'S WORTH ALWAYS ANAHEIM cases this may be done to advantage, but with the majority of poultry keepers immediate gain in production must be made by good use of such stock as they have. The first step toward the increase of poultry products—whether meat or eggs—through the use of the types best suited to production, is to get a correct understanding of type. Three distinct types are recognized—the egg type, the meat type and the dual purpose or general purpose type, which is commonly considered as an intermediate of the other two, though in really it is the primary type of which the others are modifications. sirable meat type is rather fine in bone, with the frame well knit but not too compact. Under any kind of good management a hen of this type that is in normal condition will be a good layer. She may not lay any better than a hen not quite so well fleshed, but she ought to lay just as well, and when the times comes to make meat of her she makes more and better meat, and as a breeder she naturally tends to reproduce offspring that will make more and better meat. Such hens are in realty of the dual purpose type, no matter what their size or breed. They are equally valuable for eggs and meat. That is the The wartime confluence afresh and ever the benevolence of breading among the young. When this is with good poultry bill is reduced of eggs is main-reased in some cases using only breed-type reduces to point the waste of stock. Eggs and poultry lay their utmost to feed meat and eggs, and surest way is of the mixed pro- by the use on country keeper of the ones of his stock. There should be a count of ordinary strains celebrated production. In some Small type and great activity are commonly supposed to be the characteristics of egg type. Large size and an indolent temperament are supposed to be characteristics of the meat type, and medium size without either marked energy or great indolence are supposed to be the characteristics of the mediocre dual-purpose type. There is a wide range of individual differences among the standard breeds, some strains of a particular breed being better suited for egg production than meat, and vice versa. Good physical development, vitality, constitutional vigor, a good digestive system, docility, and ruggedness and stability if functions in the reproductive organs are the distinguishing characters and traits of dependable good layers. The existence of all these, however, is not enough to insure good laying. There must, of course, be reasonably good management, even if the keeper has no special skill. But if with these qualities which make for continual laying there exists a tendency to put on fat whenever laying is interrupter, inly unremitting skillful management to keep a hen in good laying condition will make her a first-class egg producer. The egg type or laying type of hen, in any breed, is the hen that with the qualities that make for good egg production has no quality which is an obstacle to continual laying. The meat type is not the converse of the egg type, even though the hen that is not a good layer is fit only for meat. The meat type, in all kinds of poultry, is the type that grows rapidly and at maturity carries abundant flesh, especially where the preferred parts of the meat are produced. The most de- The worst epidemic of tire stealing in the history of motoring is declared by Detective Powell of the Theft Bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California to have taken place in Los Angeles since September 26. Powell states that since date, or approximately within the last 20 days, twenty large cars have been stripped if tires totaling $5,000 in value. These cars were stolen from the downtown streets in Los Angeles, driven to some isolated rendezvous, striped and then abonded on the highways. The authorities are convinced that the work is being done by one experienced band of criminals engaged in operations on a large scale. The suggestion has been made by Detective Powell that tire firms should equip themselves with a small set of branding irons and brand the initials of the purchased on all seals, since most of the stolen tires recovered by the police cannot be identified by their owners. Another precautionary step consists in writing on's name with an indelible penil on all tubes and the inner surface of casings.
