RED CROSS NEWS NOTES All chapters of the Pacific Division, American Red Cross, are urged to continue their efforts to secure membership with unrelaxed vigor and enthusiasm until the final moment of the roll call on January 10, by which time it is estimated that 800,000 new members will have been added to the organization. "One Hundred Percent Membership" is more than ever the purpose of the campaign. Ninety-eight chapters of the division are continuing roll call activities until the last day. A great many chapters have been seriously re-count of the influenza epidemic. It is expected that the extension of time will enable these chapters to reach the 100% goal, as originally planned. Reports from a number of the more isolated districts have not arrived at headquarters. The bureau of transportation, Pacific division, American Red Cross, has shipped more than 8000 tons of Red Cross supplies to Vladivostok since September 15th. Warm clothing, knitted garments, medical supplies, and surgical dressings comprised the shipments. The articles are gifts from the Red Cross to soldiers and citizens in Siberia. W. H. Morrow, director of the bureau of transportation, who has handled these Red Cross shipments from San Francisco, has been highly commended by national headquarters for his activities. A letter dated December 20, from the director general of the bureau of transportation, Washington, contained the following recognition of this service: "I was indeed happy to receive your telegram of the 80th anniversary of the Red Cross." boxes of candy; dozens of suits of underwear, socks, garters, handkerchiefs, talcum powder, shaving soap, combs, tooth paste, tooth brushes, afghans, and three dozen canes. Out of the 167 Red Cross chapters in the Pacific division, 37 have filed no reports on the Christmas roll call. All are expected to get in at the finish, January 10th. One of the ways in which the Red Cross home service committee can be of use in the adjustment of the disabled soldier to civilian life will be to help any who are in doubt about being entitled to compensation to file claim for it. Soldiers and sailors are urged to come to the Red Cross for such aid as they turned to that organization for home service for their families while they were over there. The University of California is commencing January 7 a new course in public health work. Red Cross chapters are encouraging nurses in their communities to avail themselves of the course wherever possible. The lectures will be given in Berkeley and San Francisco and are open to graduate nurses who are registered if from states where registration exists. Pasadena and Riverside are to have salvage and shop institutes in January, according to plans being formulated by the bureau of salvage and shop at division headquarters. A number of these institutes have already been held in California and succeeding ones are anticipated all over the three states in the Pacific division. They teach concretely the story of conservation as it is made practical by the Red Cross. usually taken.

Total, $191,100,00 W. H. Morrow, director of the bureau of transportation, who has handled these Red Cross shipments from San Francisco, has been highly commended by national headquarters for his activities. A letter dated December 20, from the director general of the bureau of transportation, Washington, contained the following recognition of this service: "I was indeed happy to receive your telegram of the 9th instant advising that the steamer sailing on the 20th would take 4189 bales of Red Cross supplies for Vladivostok. I congratulate you on this splendid performance." "Cease knitting." This order has gone out from Red Cross headquarters to the 3854 chapters of the organization. As a result, thousands of women who have turned out vast quantities of sweaters, socks, mufflers, helmets and wristlets for our soldiers will stack their needles. There is sufficient quantity in reserve at Red Cross division and camp warehouses to meet the needs of America's fighting men in this country and Europe, and those of the Red Cross commissions engaged in civilian relief work abroad. Knitted articles now in process of construction are to be completed as rapidly as possible and turned in to chapters, which in turn will ship them to the division warehouse in San Francisco. No more yarn is to be issued to workers. More than 10,000,000 knitted articles were turned out by Red Cross workers in the seventeen months preceding the signing of the armistice. The first paper to be published in English in Northern Russia, the "American Sentinel," established by the American Red Cross, is now supplying news direct from this country to American soldiers on duty there. The Sentinel consists of four pages and is published weekly. The first issue contained President Wilson's recent address to Congress. The paper has been made possible by co-operation between the American Red Cross and the committee on public information at Washington. The American Red Cross has established a bureau of information in New York for the convenience of the ten thousand graduate nurses soon to be released from overseas military duty for civilian service in this country. Pasadena and Riverside are to have salvage and shop institutes in January, according to plans being formulated by the bureau of salvage and shop at division headquarters. A number of these institutes have already been held in California and succeeding ones are anticipated all over the three states in the Pacific division. They teach concretely the story of conservation as it is made practical by the Red Cross. Miss Mary Cole will come to Pacific division headquarters to take charge of Red Cross public health work for the bureau of nursing. Announcement of her appointment follows the statement of Miss Lillian L. White, director of the bureau, that the Red Cross plans to intensify its program of public health service. Miss Cole is well known in California particularly for her work at Recreation Center, Santa Barbara. CALIFORNIA MINERAL PRODUCTION IN 1918 The statistical division of the State Mining Bureau, under the direction of Fletcher Hamilton, State Mineralogist, estimates the mineral production of California for the year 1918, just closed, at a total of approximately $191,-100,000. This is a conservative figure, and includes all products, metallic and non-metallic, being in advance of the actual figures which will be available later after the complete returns are received from the various producers. The continued increased value over the 1917 total of $161,202,962 is due mainly to the very greatly enhanced prices of all grades of crude oil, coupled with an increase of approximately 5,000,000 barrels in quantity. Reports to hand indicate a decrease of nearly $3,000,000 in gold output, and considerable decreases also for lead and zinc. Copper, apparently, increased slightly in quantity, but decreased in value. Quicksilver dropped off about 2,000 flasks in quantity, but with a higher price per flask, so that the total value of $2,310,000 showed a relatively smaller loss. Of the so-called "war minerals," chromite was running strong up to the latter part of September, when the market was broken by New Caledonian imports. Otherwise, California's 1918 shipments bade fair to eclipse the record output of 52,379 short tons in 1917, worth $1,130,298. The actual tonnage finally shipped was probably about the same as the 1917 total, but with a reduced minimum cost from rising to a peacetime cost of $48 million.

The Red Cross Christmas roll call will be extended to January 10th, to allow for such chapters as have been prevented from reaching the desired 100% due to influenza and other unavoidable conditions. This announcement was authorized by Washington and sent to all Red Cross chapters in the Pacific division by R. B. Hale, chairman of the division roll call committee. Although the conscientious effort of division workers has produced admirable results, it is felt that it is only fair to the chapters that have had to face grave handicaps that they be given an opportunity to realize the results they had hoped to attain. Junior Red Cross members of the San Francisco school department were well represented at the Christmas festivities held on Tuesday at Letterman hospital, San Francisco. The gifts to be presented by the juniors at the big Christmas tree included: Victrola and records; punching bag and stand; reflecting machine and pictures; rug for the reception room; three dozen matting slippers; and twenty-four bath mats—all for Ward 19, the nerve ward. The junior presents for general distribution will include: 3000 packages of cigarettes; 480 packages of Bull Durham and papers; 2000 packages of gum; 150 pounds of chocolate; 1500 pounds in quantity, but with a higher price per flask, so that the total value of $2,310,000 showed a relatively smaller loss. Of the so-called "war minerals," chromite was running strong up to the latter part of September, when the market was broken by New Caledonian imports. Otherwise, California's 1918 shipments bade fair to eclipse the record output of 52,379 short tons in 1917, worth $1,130,298. The actual tonnage finally shipped was probably about the same as the 1917 total, but with a greater value per ton. Shipments of manganese ores are estimated to have reached a total of 25,000 tons, worth $1,125,000, which is a considerable increase over the 15,515 tons and $396-659 in 1917. Magnesite apparently dropped off to about 90,000 tons, or only 40 per cent of the previous year's yield, on account of the competition of the cheaper, iron-bearing Washington magnesite, and the curtailing of construction work which utilizes high-grade magnesite for plastic purposes. The date of publication of the final and complete report on the mineral production for the year is dependent upon the promptness of the replies from the operators. Blank forms are being mailed out this week to the various producers, a large majority of whom are already working in hearty accord and co-operation with the State Mining Bureau, as they realize the very great benefit that this department is in the development of the mineral resources of California. No other state in the Union possesses such a number and variety of commercially valuable minerals; and our total annual value of output is exceeded only by the large coal and iron-producing states of the East. But for the delayed replies of less than 10 per cent of the operators, partly carelessness, the complete report could be compiled inside of three months after the close of the calendar year instead of at least six months.

TO REDUCE MILK-PRODUCTION COSTS Following a study of practical means to prevent the cost of milk production from rising to a point where dairying ceases to be profitable, the Dairy Division of the United States Department of Agriculture has found that four important factors have a direct bearing on the problem. By attention to these factors, all of which are within the condition. DESIRE FOR POLITICAL POWER FORESEEN Bill to Give Military Rank to Members of Draft Boards Not Looked Upon Seriously Back of the introduction of a bill in the Senate by Senator Jones and a similar bill several days ago by Senator Henderson of Nevada to give military rank to members of the various draft boards lies an interesting story of desire for political power. Senator Jones's bill provides that chairmen of draft boards may be brevetted majors and other members captains in recognition for their services. Senator Henderson's bill provided that chairmen shall be given the rank of captains and the other members lieutenants. All shall have the right to wear the uniform of their rank on ceremonial occasions. California, Oregon, Washington and other western members are receiving telegrams and letters asking that these measures be supported and there apparently is a close and powerful organization determined to have this recognition from Congress. While all the members of the draft boards were handsomely recompensed for the time they gave, they now want titles, uniforms and prestige that may be of political value later on in the campaigns that follow the war. Most of the movement is confined to the smaller towns and rural boards, but nevertheless much pressure is being exerted and it apparently is the result of concerted action. One Congressman said: "It is a desire to get into the uniformed class so that those men will be eligible when the political pie is passed. These men want to lead the Fourth Memorial Day parade and PARTING OF THE WAYS ON MONEY APPROPRIATIONS Staunch Administration Supporters Refuse to Vote Bonds Blindly—Profits of Packers Growing Senator Martin and other staunch supporters of the administration have come to the parting of the ways on the subject of blindly appropriating large sums of money. If the request for $100,000,000 for food for Europe gets into the Senate there must be a complete explanation of the purpose for which this money is to be used or the Senate will refuse to appropriate. There are several things about it that the Senators want more light upon. First—Is this food or a part of it to get into German or Austrian stomachs. Some of the Senators feel that it is a plan by which food supplies will reach the enemy through neutral countries. If this is disclosed to be a fact it is not believed that even a personal appeal of the President can secure the money. Second—Many of the Senators feel that such a measure will yield inordinate profits to the food dealers and particularly the packers of the country and more and more it becomes apparent that Congress will take some steps to curb a food monopoly that to them appears to be a growing menace in this country. Third—Some of the Senators believe the purchase and shipping of such amounts of foods will still further advance the price of foods in this country and delay a readjustment downward of the cost of living in the United States. Fourth—Several of the best constitutional lawyers in the Senate believe that Congress has no power to tax the people for a charitable enterprise to feed the people of the world no matter. 1917 146 16,636 666 Upon masticic seed in pounds in 1918; tion in over one and this mentions war REINSTER SERVICE Anticipated left here to take try wounds fore.

It will of the c separates to take stated in five miles TO REDUCE MILK-PRODUCTION COSTS Following a study of practical means to prevent the cost of milk production from rising to a point where dairy ceases to be profitable, the Dairy Division of the United States Department of Agriculture has found that four important factors have a direct bearing on the problem. By attention to these factors, all of which are within the control of producers, it was found that under Indiana conditions, which are typical of the area supplying whole milk to Chicago, the cost of production could be reduced considerably. The factors are raising the average production per cow, reducing the quantity of concentrated feed given low-producing cows, substituting legume roughage for a part of the concentrates, and more careful handling of the manure. The importance of handling manure properly is secondary in importance only to feed from the standpoint of net profits. CUTTING MILK-DELIVERY COSTS Investigating the system of handling dairy products in Hampton county, Mass., the farm bureau found it uneconomical because of the time consumed in the delivery of milk. The assistance of the Eureau of Markets of the United States Department of Agriculture was secured and a survey was made. It was learned in the town of Westfield, where 13 dealers travel 190 miles to deliver 4630 quarts of milk, that the establishment of a central milk plant would save to the dairying of that community more than $30,000 annually. A similar survey was conducted in the town of Springfield, and plans are being developed for the erection of cooperative milk plants in both towns. BETTER FRUIT BY BUD SELECTION Two experimental lemon groves were established in the past year by the United States Department of Agriculture in California, where special attention will be given to the development of better fruit-growing strains through bud selection. One of the plantings is located near Corona and consists of 11½ acres; the other is at the citrus experiment station of the University of California and consists of five acres. Both of these experimental orchards were planted with progeny trees propagated from selected parent trees having forms and prestige that may be of political value later on in the campaigns that follow the war. Most of the movement is confined to the smaller towns and rural boards, but nevertheless much pressure is being exerted and it apparently is the result of concerted action. One Congressman said: "It is a desire to get into the uniformed class so that those men will be eligible when the political pie is passed. These men want to lead the Fourth of July and Memorial Day parades and get the soldier vote. They want to be part and parcel of what will be the G.A.R. of this war and they are taking time by the forelock to see that they are not forgotten in the fuss made over the boys from across the seas. "I can see what they are after and in a way do not blame them, but if they are to get titles and uniforms why not give recognition to the four-minute men, the bond canvassers of the Liberty Loan drives, the Red Cross nurses and the women knitters, the canteen workers and the hosts who dug down deep in their pockets for the sinews of war. I am not unmindful of the services rendered by the men on the draftboards, but they were well paid and this is ridiculous to give them titles, uniforms and military recognition for doing their bit. "If this thing is carried to its logical conclusion there should be uniforms and titles for all those I have mentioned and then some more. In forming the processions on national holidays I suppose all different board members should have right of line. At the very end of the line there should be a little room left for the men who actually fought and offered to die for the United States. No one can regard this bill seriously. It is only important as showing what men will do to accomplish political results." They Say —The city clerk is thinking of throwing the hypnotic eye upon the councilmen and have them put their "resolutions" and "motions" in writing when presenting them to the assembled solons. The genial clerk says he's no shorthand man and his salary precludes the idea of hiring a stenog. —In speaking of the stability of Anaheim, one only has to refer to the tax collector's office, where he would learn that the delinquent taxes for the past year amounts to only $138.92, a pretty Third—Some of the Senators believe the purchase and shipping of such amounts of foods will still further advance the price of foods in this country and delay a readjustment downward of the cost of living in the United States. Fourth—Several of the best constitutional lawyers in the Senate believe that Congress has no power to tax people for a charitable enterprise to feed the people of the world no matter how deserving'and needy they may be. Members of the House are resentful of the request for this amount of money and some of the more outspoken are as determined in their opposition as are the Senators who propose to stop this plan if possible. Senator Martin particularly views with much apprehension the mounting expenses of the government for the next fiscal year and is determined to call a halt. During the war the department heads got so used to calling for and getting hundreds of millions needed for war emergencies that they continue to ask for the vast sums on the same scale that they asked for war measures. Administration leaders admit that the securing of the hundred millions for food for Europe is going to be most difficult without the personal leadership of President Wilson. Further attempts to get the money may await his return to the United States. MEET SUCCESS IN PRODUCING SEED OF SUGAR BEETS To reduce dependence on foreign sugar beet seed, efforts to produce this seed in this country are meeting with distinct success. Before the war domestic production was almost at zero. In 1916 the production had risen to 5,211,000 pounds, in 1917 to 5,558,000 pounds, and in 1918 to 6,384,000 pounds, the estimate for the last year being subject to revision. Along with this movement, the average planted to sugar beets has greatly increased, with now and then a recession. In 1914 the planted area was 514,000 acres; in 1915, 664,300 acres; in 1916, 768,500 acres; in 1917, 806,600 acres; in 1918, 689,700 acres. This progression has called for more and more seed except in so far as a reduced use of seed per acre, as a war measure, has had its effect on the total amount of seed required by the acre- ENCY Professor dent of Cornell College odeed as de dea dia of de by thie This wi thhoritat tthe first umes oi Doctor Californi through "California lication dreds o institute Among board tn in this found s California. That great o admits clear th auspicious iforma epoch l The first completely organized means in Hamilton county, Ohio, for securing local co-operation in setting improved agricultural practices at work was the farm bureau. It has a total membership of 1000. Through the county agent this farm bureau has stimulated the use of 2500 tons of home-ground limestone, introduced four portable lime pulverizers, started a community tilting project that will increase production on many a loafer acre, and has saved the county $2000 worth of wheat by co-operating with the threshermen and farmers in placing canvas under the thrashing machines. In its efforts to encourage the broad development of poultry raising in the United States, the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture is conducting investigations to establish the best methods of raising many varieties of fowls. The present scope of the work includes not only the feeding, breeding, and care of ordinary poultry, but also the raising of pigeons, squabs, guineas, turkeys, and many other birds, including ostriches. The flesh of squabs, turkeys, guineas, geese, and ducks makes a pleasing variety in the diet, and with wild fowls now becoming less available, it is important that a sufficient number of domestic birds be raised to keep the market constantly supplied. The problem now is chiefly one of farm production, which requires expert knowledge if adequate supplies are to be continued. P. Frahm has sold his 15-acre home place on the county road to F. K. Day. A philosopher says the reason that we have two ears and one tongue is obvious. Still, it is easier for most of us to wag our tongues than our ears. Along with this movement, the average planted to sugar beets has greatly increased, with now and then a recession. In 1914 the planted area was 514,000 acres; in 1915, 664,300 acres; in 1916, 768,500 acres; in 1917, 806,600 acres; in 1918, 689,700 acres. This progression has called for more and more seed except in so far as a reduced use of seed per acre, as a war measure, has had its effect on the total amount of seed required by the acreage. More beet seed has been imported during the war than before. The importations of 1910 to 1912 averaged about 11,000,000 pounds yearly; in 1913 they were 14,768,000 pounds; in 1914, 10,294,000 pounds; in 1915, 15,883,000 pounds; in 1916, 9,042,000 pounds; in ESTRAY NOTICE Taken up at my place, at Los Alamitos, Cal., on Monday, January 6, 1919, one black horse, with white spot on forehead, also white spot on each side of body.

Upon combining imports with domestic production it appears that the approximate consumption of sugar beet seed in this country was 19,681,000 pounds in 1917, and 22,194,000 pounds in 1918. Hence the domestic production in each of these years was a little over one-quarter of the consumption, and this result is one of the achievements in agriculture caused by the war REINSTATEMENT IN THE CIVIL SERVICE OF MEN WHO LEFT TO BEAR ARMS Anticipating the time when men who left the federal classified civil service to take up arms in defense of the country would be mustered out and, therefore, seeking employment, the United States Civil Service Commission recommended to the president that provision be made for the reinstatement in the civil service of such men. Accordingly, the president issued the following executive order dated July 18, 1918: "A person leaving the classified civil service to engage in the military or naval service of the government during the present war with Germany and who has been honorably discharged may be reinstated in the civil service at any time of reinstatement he has the required fitness to perform the duties of the position to which reinstatement is sought." It will be noted that under the terms of the executive order, a man who was separated from the civil establishment to take part in the war may be reinstated in a civil service position within five years after his discharge from the military or naval service.

Hunt, president of the Historical Society of Southern California and head of the department of economics in the University of Southern California, has been selected as editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of California Biography, projected by the California History Company. This will be a comprehensive and authoritative work in a series of volumes, the first issue to consist of two volumes of suitable proportions. Doctor Hunt, himself a native son of California, has become well known throughout the state as the author of "California the Golden," and other publications, and as the teacher of hundreds of students of U. S. C., and other institutions in Pacific slope history. Among the members of the advisory board to be associated with the editor in this important project are to be found some of the best authorities in California history and letters. That there is a distinct field for a great constructive work of this kind admits of no doubt; and it is likewise clear that the present moment is most auspicious for the undertaking, as California enters upon a splendid new epoch in her history. HOW TO SAVE ON GAS You may be wasting gas in your home when you flatter yourself you are economizing up to the hilt.
