Store FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN At a meeting held in Los Angeles, the members of the Southern California Liberty Loan State Central Committee were put in possession of information now available regarding the Fifth Liberty Loan, by Lewis B. Franklin, director of the War Loan Organizations of the United States, from Washington. This meeting was attended by the county chairmen from the eight Southern California counties who were informed that there would be no change in the organization upon the occasion of this loan. It is expected that the bonds will be of the same denomination and will be offered on the same basis of patriotic necessity plus probable added attractive features in the way of higher rate or tax exemptions, or both, the nature of which Director Franklin refused even to hint. The visitor explained that the proceeds of the Fourth Loan were exhausted by December 10th, and that bills were now being paid with borrowed money secured through the issue of treasury certificates and which will be redeemed by proceeds from the Fifth Loan. "The peak of the war expenditure is now at hand," said Director Franklin. "When the armistice was signed, we were just reaching the acme of production. Germany saw that, and in my opinion, it hastened that country's desire to sign an armistice. The tremendous amount of money necessary to secure this rapid and speedy production of war material must now be taken care of. Although this money went into tanks, aeroplanes and munitions that will never be used, it was the best investment America ever made. It saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of the best of America." Mr. Franklin made the astounding statement that had the war not been suspended when it was, there would have been, early in 1919, an American tank for every 75 feet of fighting front, Germany to be exempted from city, county, and state taxes on all his property to the assessed value of $1000. As property is assessed at about one-third of its value in California, the law exempts from tax payment three thousand dollar homes or other property of that aggregate value. If the soldier does not own that much property, so much of his wife's property is also exempt to make up the total exemption. The widow of a soldier, or if there is no widow the widowed mother of the soldier is granted the exemption, and all pensioned widows, fathers and mothers are exempt from taxation under the Randall law. Y. M. C. A. STATE-WIDE DRIVE Plans for a state-wide drive of the California Y. M. C. A. during the week of February 4-11 to raise a budget of $50,000 for its reconstruction program in 1919 are contained in an announcement recently received. The co-operation of city, county and community Y. M. C. A. officials and business men has been secured and wherever local campaigns are conducted provision will be made for raising funds for state Y. M. C. A. work. Ernest L. Mogge, campaign director for the recent united war work drive in California, is in charge of the present state-wide move and has as his associates H. O. Hill, state student secretary of Los Angeles, for Southern California, and Charles Puehler, state industrial secretary of San Francisco, for the northern section of the state. The new reconstruction program for the state includes additional Y. M. C. A. experts on the state staff to supervise the organization of counties and communities already asking for some form of association work. An effort is to be amde to help many California communities that are now facing social, recreational and moral problems among city, farm and employed boys as well as industrial workers and Mrs. Eva Maynard installed the follow-up meeting: Orchid Chambers; Vice Officer Gross; Past Oracle; Recorder; Mrs. E.

Although this money went into tanks, aeroplanes and munitions that will never be used, it was the best investment America ever made.

Mr. Franklin made the astounding statement that had the war not been suspended when it was, there would have been, early in 1919, an American tank for every 75 feet of fighting front, and other supplies in proportion. This, he says, is what really broke down German morale. In the opinion of Director Franklin, the loan will be about hte same size as the Fourth Loan. It will be a short term loan, probably five years, and it will be sold by the same organization and in the same general way as the Fourth Loan. It is expected the payments will be extended over a longer period of time, and April. was given as the month in which the loan will be held. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev. C. B. Hatch, pastor.

The new reconstruction program for the state includes additional Y. M. C. A. experts on the state staff to supervise the organization of counties and communities already asking for some form of association work. An effort is to be amde to help many California communities that are now facing social, recreational and moral problems among city, farm and employed boys as well as industrial workers and students. In the vocational readjustment of returned soldiers and sailors, the California Y. M. C. A. will co-operate with the government and other public and social agencies. An enlarged activity among the 200,000 boys of the state also is under consideration. TO AMEND ESTRAY LAW A bill amending the estray law, and of interest to every farmer and rancher in California, has been introduced in the Legislature by Senator King, of Redlands. There are two principal provisions in the act. The first deals with the taking up of estrays, the second with the fencing of property. It is provided that a person finding estrays on his premises shall have a lien on them for expenses incurred and costs in keeping and caring for them. Premises, however, are defined as "land entirely enclosed with a good and substantial fence." Barbed wire fences to comply with the provisions of the act, must have "three tightly stretched barbed wires securely fastened to posts of reasonable strength, firmly set in the ground not more than one rod apart, one of which wires shall be at least four feet above the surface of the ground."

Applications for a part of the nitrate bought by the government will be received only from actual farmers or owners or holders of farms for use on their land, and may be made through the county agent.

Falkenstein's Semi-Annual Clearance Sale Now In Progress Every Department offers its share of Unusual Values Falkensteins Department Store UNUSUAL VALUES Falkensteins Department Store NEW TELEPHONE RATE The new telephone rate which went into effect at midnight Monday eliminates all free tolls, and persons talking with Fullerton and other points where the free toll system was allowed, must now pay. The rate for the first six miles is 5 cents. When a person makes a toll call without specifying that conversation is desired with a particular person, and the connection is established and conversation held, the "station to station" rate applies. This rate is determined by the airline distance between toll point and is computed on the basis of 5 cents for each 6 miles, up to 24 miles, and 5 cents for each 8 miles beyond that distance. "Station to station" calls should be made by telephone number or by the name and address of the subscriber at the telephone called. When a person makes a toll call, specifying that conversation is desired with a particular person and the connection is established and conversation held with that person, the "person to person" rate applies. As this service requires a greater amount of operating effort, the rate for such calls is about one-fourth greater than the "station to station" rate. The "person to person" rate is computed on the day rate between the points involved, whether the call is made during the day or during the night, and the minimum charge is 20 cents. No "person to person" call is accepted where the "station to station" rate is less than 15 cents. When a "person to person" call is made and the particular person desired is not in or will not talk, or when an exact telephone address of the particular person besired has not been given and he cannot be reached at a for "person to person" calls. When a call is made on a "person to person" basis and a messenger is required to secure attendance of the designated person at a public pay station at the distant point, the "messenger call" rate applies. This rate is the same as the "appointment rate" for the same distance, plus any charge for messenger service. The "messenger call" rate is computed on the day rate between the made during the day or during the points involved, whether the call is made during the day or during the night, and the minimum charge is 25 cents. Messenger charges incurred are to be paid even if desired conversation is not held. No "messenger call" is accepted where the "station to station" rate is less than 15 cents. "Report charges" apply under the same general conditions as specified for "person to person" calls. COAST STATES PLAN CONSTRUCTION LAWS Much constructive legislation is forecast for discussion of the states of California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho. In California one of the matters of interest that it is expected will come before the legislature will be a bill providing land for the returning soldiers. Just what form this will take is not now known although it is understood that the California land settlement experiment, which is already in operation on a large scale near the town of Chico, where those with small means may secure a farm on small payments, will be the basis for the larger and more pressing problems. Another important matter that it is expected will be considered at Sacra- The sold under the Control Act and relating therefor $81 a ton, free on logging point or port, a addition freight is. Part of the nitrate settlement will be re-actual farmers or farms for use on the made through required with the notice from the native of the Depure farmers who tons must deposit association, or indicate the Secretary of the farmers' rate, money to cover fertilizer except the practically every one paid to a coundesignated by the agriculture. Nitrate distributors on sight ladding attached, drafts, take up collect money from the nitrate to farm have been made quantity of nitrate that all reasonable met. MEETING Is, pastor of Santa have a lecture and will over the Flain 1919, at 7:45 P.M. No "person to person" call is accepted where the "station to station" rate is less than 15 cents. When a "person to person" call is made and the particular person desired is not in or will not talk, or when an exact telephone address of the particular person besired has not been given and he cannot be reached at a telephone within one hour, a "report charge" applies. Such a charge also applies if the calling party is absent when the connection is completed within one hour, or if he refuses to talk. This charge is to cover compensation for the operating work performed and is usually about one-fourth of the "station to station" rate. In any case where a "report charge" applies, the minimum charge is 10 cents and the maximum $2.00. A "report charge," in addition to the message charge, is not made provided the call is completed on the day on which it is filed. When the calling party in placing his call appoints a definite specified time at which he will talk on a "person to person" basis and the conversation is held at the specified time, the "appointment rate" applies. The "appointment rate" is usually about one-half greater than the "station to station" rate. The "appointment rate" is computed on the day rate between the points involved, whether the call is made during the day or during the night, and the minimum charge is 25 cents. No appointment call is accepted where the "station to station" rate is less than 15 cents. "Report charges" apply under the same general conditions as specified before the legislature will be a bill providing land for the returning soldiers. Just what form this will take is not now known although it is understood that the California land settlement experiment, which is already in operation on a large scale near the town of Chico, where those with small means may secure a farm on small payments, will be the basis for the larger and more pressing problems. Another important matter that it is expected will be considered at Sacramento is that of reorganizing the state government along more economic lines, the idea being expressed in some quarters that the progressive measures put into effect through the influence of Hiram W. Johnson, when he was governor, are by the proposed reorganization threatened with restriction or elimination. Other important matters that have been mentioned as probable subjects for legislative consideration are: The removal of the San Francisco waterfront from the control of the state to that of the city of San Francisco; an investigation of the alleged municipal corruption in San Francisco, in which the Mooney case has been involved; and three measures put forward by women's organizations, the changing of the Community Property Law, a state farm for delinquent women, and an increase in the appropriation for lower schools. P. A. Schumacher, who for the past 32 years has been a notary public at Fullerton, retired from the job on January 16, when his commission expired. Mr. Schumacher is pleased that it was his good fortune to be a notary public during the selective draft, so that he could help out the soldier boys and he did over $600 worth of notarial work for the boys of the army without accepting one cent for his services.
