FARM ADVISERS FINISH THEIR JUNKET ENJOYABLE ANR PROFITABLE TRIP THROUGH SOUTHLAND ENDED AT RIVERSIDE THURSDAY Visitors immensely pleased With Everything they Saw in Orange County—Closer Relationship Between County Bureaus. A most successful traveling conference of Farm Bureau Directors and Farm Advisors terminated at Riverside last Thursday after visiting farm bureau projects in several of the southern counties. Farm Advisor Wahlberg returns with much enthusiasm for the growth of this work in Orange county after seeing the extensive and comprehensive scope and success of farm bureau activities in older counties. The delegates were greatly impressed with the trip through Orange county, possibly more so than with any other county on the tour. The drainage systems inspected at Westminster and Smeltzer were of special interest to Sacramento and San Joachin men, who have large problems of this character at home. A stop was made at the gun club territory showing the useless waste of artesian water at this time of the year as well as that used for flooding duck his appearance in the halls of the assembly in Sacramento for the Artesian Water Bill, which has been promoted by the farmers of Orange county. This bill has created considerable opposition. SALVATION ARMY FUND Orange County raised $8,184.58 for the Salvation Army Home Service Fund. Of that, over $2600 will be held as a fund for the purpose of buying a lot and building a permanent Salvation Army home and hall in Santa Ana. While the drive was ended last week, final reports from some of the precincts have just been received by the Elks lodges of Santa Ana and Anaheim, through which the drive war conducted. Santa Ana headquarters received $5,109.72 and Anaheim received $3,074.86. No decision has been reached for the immediate purchase of a lot for the Salvation Army building. Ensign Schute, in charge of the local work, has had in mind a lot on Sycamore street near Third costing $6,000, as the lot best suited to the plan of the Army. It is probable that the $2,600 will be held intact to be added to later until there is enough on hand to make the purchase of that or some other lot. Of the total amount raised, $5,500 is to go to state and county budgets of the Salvation Army.

The drainage systems inspected at Westminster and Smeltzer were of special interest to Sacramento and San Joachin men, who have large problems of this character at home. A stop was made at the gun club territory showing the useless waste of artesian water at this time of the year as well as that used for flooding duck ponds in the winter. The members of this state-wide delegation of farmers are more convinced than ever that the Orange county bill for the conservation of underground water is a necessary protection of the interests of our agriculture. The demonstration at Capt. Adams' walnut grove at Tustin by Prof. R. E. Smith showing the method of applying a dust spray for the control of the codling moth and aphis proved instructive to the walnut men. The view from Lemon Heights was a revelation and with C. E. Utt's spicy talk at this point made a lasting impression on the assembly. Fruit men were particularly interested in the method of packing, grading and precooling ably shown by the management of the Santiago Packing House at Orange. This is one of the finest houses of its character in the State. The climax was capped at the County Park, however, when the conference was greeted with the many tables spread with the choicest victuals, steaming meats and vegetables, fruit, nuts and marmalades. There was never a more appreciative crowd of farmers than were these hungry sons of the soil after their long journey through the bean, beet and pepper fields and the citrus groves of the county. The ladies of Tustin received many compliments upon the successful way in which the dinner was served. Mr. Talbert, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, explained the relation of the county government to the agricultural industries and organizations of the county and expressed the desire of the board to co-operate to the fullest extent in promoting the activities of agricultural interests as are represented by the Farm Bureau. Ater a demonstration at S. W. McCulloch's at Fullerton on bud selection the delegation passed on through the groves of Placentia and out of the county via Brea oil fields. NEW POULTRY BREED MAY BECOME POPULAR West Virginia "Fowl" Might Flourish on California Soil. The manufacture of the apparently innocent, but in reality powerfully devastating beverage known as "Old Hen," in Gilmer and Calhoun counties, W. Va., has grown to such proportions that steps are being taken by prohibition officers to break up the practice. It is said that farmers in these counties turn out the mixture more freely than they make buttermilk, although it is made strictly for family use. One prohibition officer recently visited that section and reported finding a supply of "Old Hen" in almost every farmhouse. A recipe found scrawled on the wall of a cabin in the mountains, according to the officer, gave the following formula: "One-half bushel of meal or chop, four gallons of brown sugar, three pounds of raisins or prunes, one cake of yeast and the juice of three lemons. Let stand in a warm place for eight days, stirring once each day. Strain through a milk strainer and let set for two days longer. Re-strain and serve with cracked ice with equal porportions of grape juice and carbonated water." The officer says the first drink gave him a sort of blank feeling in the head, and after that he "went out of himself." Afterward, he says, they told him he whipped three of the hired men, burned down a stable and rocked a funeral procession for eight miles. "Old Hen" should not be placed in a closed vessel. It invariably blows the cork out of the bottle, and if the cork is too tight the bottle gives way to the pressure. It is said that while making a raid recently an officer, who had been using a brick to brea lock on a closet, carelessly laid the brick across the mouth of a jar containing "Old Hen." In three minutes so the story goes, the brick was blown through the roof. It was ordered that purchased for the county of the trustees wanted and make it a new tax was decided to make it for a while longer.

Ater a demonstration at S. W. McCulloch's at Fullerton on bud selection the delegation passed on through the groves of Placentia and out of the county via Brea oil fields. This is the largest traveling conference of this character ever undertaken in the State. It will mean a stronger affiliation of farm bureaus in the State, a better understanding and appreciation of the problems encountered by farmers in different parts of the State and has proven of immense educational value to the directors participating who will report to their respective county organizations upon their return home. Directors James Smiley of West Orange and E. E. Campbell of Orange were delegated to the conference and will report to the fourteen enters in the county this month. To Interview Railroad Commission. H. B. Woodrough has gone to San Francisco in the interests of the farm bureau to interview the railroad commission regarding the organization of a county telephone system. Many details and technical points involved arising in the investigation by the executive committee will be presented by Woodrough who has been chairman of this committee. The committee has been working diligently during the past month gathering data and reports from engineers and legal advice. Upon the return of Mr. Woodrough a complete report will be presented to the farm bureau and Associated Chambers of Commerce. While in the north, he will put in "Old Hen" should not be placed in a closed vessel.

JUNE DROP OF ORANGES The results of an extended investigation of the causes of June drop of oranges, though delayed for more than a year by war emergencies, has just been published by the University of California Press. The book, though highly technical in character, will likely be of interest to orange growers for the reason that it presents in full the scientific data upon which was based the previously issued popular bulletin published by the Experiment Statoin. The book is well illustrated with graphs and charts in addition to a number of half-tone engravings. The authors conclude that the abnormal shedding is due to two causes: A fungus which gains access through the navel end of the young fruits; and the harsh climatic conditions of the interior valleys against which the navel orange tree is not sufficiently able to protect itself. It is claimed that where irrigation water is abundant, the shedding may be much reduced by the judicious use of early summer cover crops. FOR SALE—Corner lot on paved street, 52x150.

EXTENSIONS AT WATER WORKS PLANNED (Continued from Page 1) insist that he send in his bill for remuneration, as the city feels under obligations to Mr. Bishop for his profiled services regarding this important matter. The City Attorney and Engineer were instructed to proceed at once to form an improvement district, taking in the south side of the block between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, and going to the alley. The purpose of the district is to assess benefits and damages in having the Kroeger and Dreyfus buildings moved back to conform to the new sidewalk line. Commissioners will assess these benefits and damages, involving the property frontages, but should the case be taken to the superior court and a greater sum then be assessed the city may levy a supplemental tax, or may pay this additional sum out of monies in the general fund. By reducing the property line, thereby securing right of way for sidewalk purposes, the city benefits and is in duty bound to pay for the strip acquired. It was ordered that new chairs be purchased for the council room. Some of the trustees wanted to go farther and make it a new table also, but it was decided to make the old one do The City Treasurer's Report: April 9.—Cash in general fund ... $22,922.48 Liberty Bonds ... 5,000.00 War Stamps ... 834.00 Total Cash.—All funds ... $33,341.88 The Clerk's report was received and filed, which tallies with the Treasurer's. The Street Superintendent's summary report was received. All reports were approved by the finance committee. STEADFAST CONFIDENCE The Following Statement Should Form Conclusive Proof of Merit to Every Anaheim Reader. Could stronger proof of the merit of any remedy be desired than the statements of grateful endorsers who say their confidence has been undiminished by lapse of time. These are the kind of statements that are appearing constantly in your local papers for Doan's Kidney Pills. They are twice-told and confirmed, with new enthusiasm. Can any reader doubt the following? It's from an Anaheim resident: Mrs. Joachim Luneberg, 122 S. Claudina Street, says: "I suffered from rheumatic pains for some time. My back was weak and I was lame all over. On a friend's advice I used Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Mullinix's Drug Store, and they helped me from the first. Continued use left me without a sign of kidney complaint or rheumatic pains." (Statement given May 9, 1907). On February 15, 1916, Mrs. Luneberg said: "I use Doan's Kidney Pills 28—Ill treatment of prisoners of war. 29—Misuse of flag of truce. 30—Poisoning of wells. EASTER AND GOOD FRIDAY AT ST. MICHAEL'S CHURCH Rector Hoping for Good Attendance at these Services. We are anticipating a large attendance at our Good Friday services this year, and a time of deep devotion at the foot of the Cross. Our Lenten services have been so well attended and so spiritually helpful that we are sure most of our parishioners are looking forward to the Good Friday services. On that day we reach in our contemplations the climax of human malice and wickedness and of infinite Divine Love and Compassion at the Cross, and if we seek to enter into its full meaning and its message with the desire to know and understand it we shall not fail to gain some of its benefits and blessings, and find that "Love so amazing, so Divine, Demands our life, our soul, our all." It is our custom at St. Michael's to devote the Good Friday offerings for the Jerusalem and the East Mission, the Church's great effort to reach the Jews in their own land. The claims and the opportunities of that work now are greater than ever, and every Christian man or woman must feel a keen interest in the welfare of the Jews to whom in the first instance were "committed the oracles of God" and through whom we owe our Christianity, for Jesus was Himself a Jew. Let us help this cause with a liberal heart this Good Friday. supplemental tax, or may pay this additional sum out of moneys in the general fund.

It was ordered that new chairs be purchased for the council room. Some of the trustees wanted to go farther and make it a new table also, but it was decided to make the old one do for a while longer. Fire Chief Dick Fischle extended a cordial invitation to the trustees to attend a banquet to be given the county firemen at Fullerton, the evening of Friday, April 18. All the councilmen said they would brush up their date cards and surely would be present. The board instructed the street superintendent to look into the feasibility of creating a camping ground for autoists passing through. The lot on Cypress street belonging to the city, was ordered placed in shape for the purpose. Many towns are giving these accommodations to tourists who desire to camp out for a few days. The idea seems alright. Ordinance No. 347, providing for appointment of City Electrician, and defining his duties, was passed to print. Ordinance No. 348, granting the Highway Transportation Company permission to operate auto freight trucks here, was introduced. Ordinance No. 349, providing for the renumbering of houses, was introduced. Ordinance No. 350, extending the fire limits, so as to include a small area on Chartres and Clementine streets, in which the new Via La Mont apartment house is to be located, was introduced. The hearing of A. B. Watson for transfer of auto stage license, was set for April 24, at 8 p.m. A check for refund of $11.00 from the State Insurance Company, for money paid in 1915, was received. A check for $30.00 for rent for storeroom in the corner building used by the telephone company, was received. The request of Wm. Gerees for electric energy, outside city, was granted. Building permits were granted as follows: Frank Arnold, estimate ...$50.00 J. W. Duckworth ...2300.00 Charles Fisher ...2500.00 E. Brus ...100.00 E. Maas ...23 0000 Mrs. Joachim Luneberg, 122 S.

(Statement given May 9, 1907). On February 15, 1916, Mrs. Luneburg said: "I use Doan's Kidney Pills when I need any kidney medicine and always receive prompt relief. I gladly confirm my former endorsement of this medicine." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Luneburg had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo N. Y. Adv. THE KAISER TO ANSWER The peace conference at Paris has fixed the responsibility for the war on the head of the ex-Kaiser and Wilhelm must answer for his crimes. The trial will be held in Brussels with the Eelglän minister of justice as prosecutor. The array of charges against him stamps Wilhelm as the arch criminal of all times, but he laughs at the idea of any tribunal on earth having authority to try him. He and God, he says, know he is innocent of any wrong-doing. No fewer than 30 varieties of crime are enumerated in the list compiled by the sub-committee of the commission on war responsibility in Paris. These crimes will blacken the name of Germany and her accomplices for many years to come. One of the main features is the diversity of the charges, reaching out into every branch of culpability. The list, as received from Paris, follows: 1—Massacre of civilians. 2—Putting to death hostages. 3—Torture of civilians. 4—Starvation of civilians. 5—Rape. 6—Abduction of girls and women for purposes of enforced prostitution. 7—Deportation of civilians. 8—Internment of civilians under brutal conditions. 9—Forced labor of civilians in connection with military operations of the enemy. 10—Usurpation of sovereignty dur A check for $30.00 for rent for storeroom in the corner building used by the telephone company, was received.

Valuable Product for Future California One Million Acres in State Ideal for Rice Growing. Rice as a remedial crop for hitherto unused and useless lands, in California as a means of adding tremendously to the wealth of the State and as an ideal food, was the consensus of the interesting address given by C. E. Grosjean at the regular meeting of the Home Industry League at the Palace Hotel. "One million acres of land are available in California for the cultivation of rice," declared the speaker. "These lands are practically useless. They are ideal for rice cultivation. "The land which holds water is the land for the successful farming of rice. About 140,000 acres of land is now under rice cultivation in California. The crop for this year aggregated, on that area, sixteen millions of dollars. "In Japan, which has ceased to be an export country for rice, but now imports that commodity, land cultivated for one hundred and twenty-five years, now yields a forty per cent greater crop than in the beginning. The same will be true of California land, if the growers of rice do not rob the soil as the wheat growers are doing. Fertilization must follow the crops in order to increase the yield, rather than to starve it. "Rice grown in California is the best in the world. In quality, in sweetness and in flavor, when cooked, even though it does not enjoy the long, flinty appearance of the imported grain. Properly cooked rice is an important cereal. Its steady use in the diet diminishes the tendency towards cancer, ulcers and indigestion, from which persons of civilization suffer. The Oriental has proved this, for they grow from babyhood to the fourth generation on a rice diet, without experiencing sickness or employing a doctor. "Rice propagates in an almost unbelievable manner. One grain sown will cause a harvest of fourteen thousand grains. Rice is an important home industry. "Edward H. Brown, manager, announced that "Made in California Week," which is to be celebrated May 5 to 10, under the auspices of the Home Industry League, has met with State-wide approval and co-operation. "We have communicated with every Chamber of Commerce, every improvement organization and every promotion bureau in the State. We have sent out already more the fifty thousand slips announcing the week and the responses have been almost phenomenal. Every village, every hamlet, every city, will be a great big parade of California made goods. James McDonough presided in the absence of President Baldwin Vale, who is in the Yosemite, and J. A. Hieronimus spoke on the purposes of the Home Industry League, urging advertising and co-operation for California goods. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance."
