COUNTY SALARIES BILL BECOMES A LAW A NUMBER OF OFFICIALS AND THEIR DEPUTIES TO RECEIVE SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE Grand Jurors and Trial Jurors Each Raised One Dollar Per Day for Services—Supervisors' Pay Unchanged. The county government bill, setting the compensation for Orange County officers and their deputies, has been passed by the legislature and signed by Gov. Stephens. Under this measure, a number of county officers are to receive raises of $400 a year each in 1921 and a number of deputies are to receive increases of salaries three months after the adjournment of the present legislature. The county surveyor is taken from a per diem basis and placed upon a salary basis with a deputy and a stenographer. The salary of the county stock inspector is cut from $900 a year to $120. Under the state law, the salary of the principal in an office cannot be raised during his term of office. The law allows the salary of a deputy to be raised however. An additional deputy is allowed the salaries raised from $50 to $75 per month. This may give one or two raises in the county. Supervisor—Salary now, $1500; remains $1500. Live stock inspector—Salary now, $900 a year; to be $120 starting three months from now.

The branches of the service open for enlistment of the 50,000 volunteers are, Infantry, Cavalry, Engineer Corps, Field Artillery and Medical Department, and any man may choose the branch he prefers. 3. The enlistment term is for three years only and is for white men only. 4. War time pay continues—$30 a month to start. 5. 20% increase (foreign service pay) begins the day the transport leaves the United States. 6. The pay is clear profit as the Army provides free food, lodging, clothing, medical and dental attendance. 7. Enlisted men may allot any part of their pay to their relatives, and the government will forward a check to them regularly. 8. The Army offers the cheapest and best life insurance in the world. 9. The Army offers to enlisted men, an excellent opportunity to become an officer. Ninety enlisted men are picked annually and sent to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to pursue the course there, and enlisted ter the adjournment of the present legislature.

FIRELESS COOKER AS ICE BOX The fireless cooker can be used to keep food cold as well as hot, because heat cannot pass in to warm the contents any more than it can pass out and cool them. In this respect it works very much like a refrigerator. In fact, both the cooking box and the ice box are constructed on the same principle—supplying a constant-temperature chamber with non-conducting walls. Well-constructed ice boxes are made with some insulating material or dead-air space between the inner and outer walls, and the covers and doors close in such a way as to prevent heat passing in or out. Of course, the more often the doors are opened, the more heat passes in and the more quickly the ice melts and the temperature rises. Fortunately this is less serious than the loss of heat when a fireless cooker is opened. When the cooker is used to keep food cool, it must be chilled to the desired temperature before it is put in. The more nearly heat-proof the walls, the longer the material keeps its original temperature. Ice cream put in a well-made fireless cooker ought to remain firm as long as if it were packed in salt and ice in an ordinary freezer. Many cooks prefer to pack such half-frozen desserts or museums or perfume in... the office has one chief deputy at $1200 and five deputies at $900 each. Under the new law, deputies will be as follows: chief deputy, $1500; two at $1200; three at $900. County auditor—Salary now, $2200; to be $2600 in 1921. Fund for office work now, $2500; to be $3000 in three months. County treasurer—Salary now, $2,000; to be $2500 in 1921. Two office deputies now $900 each, to be $1200 of chief deputy and $900 for one other deputy. County tax collector—Salary now, $2200; to be $2600 in 1921. At present chief deputy is paid $1200, and office has a fund of $2600 for office work. Under new law, chief deputy $1200, office work fund is $3000. Assessor—Salary now, $300; to be $3300 in 1921. At present office has chief deputy at $1500, office deputy at $900, and working fund of $6500. Under new law, chief deputy will be paid $150, office deputy $125; working fund to be $7500. District Attorney — Salary now $2500; to be $3000 in 1921. At present two deputies are paid $1620 each and stenographer $900. Under new law deputies will be paid $1800 each and stenographer $1200. Coroner and public administrator will continue to be paid his fees only. Superintendent of Schools—Salary now $2250; to be $2250 in 1921. At present deputy is paid $900. Under new law deputy to be paid $1200. County surveyor—Now paid $8 a day when employed. Under new law surveyor to get $2400, one office deputy $1500, one stenographer $900, and necessary travelling and field expenses, chain men and other help. Justices of the peace and constables — All salaries remain as they now are excepting that justices in townships of over 6000 have their salar- When the cooker is used to keep food cool, it must be chilled to the desired temperature before it is put in. The more nearly heat-proof the walls, the longer the material keeps its original temperature. Ice cream put in a well-made fireless cooker ought to remain firm as long as if it were packed in salt and ice in an ordinary freezer. Many cooks prefer to pack such half-frozen desserts as mousse or parfait in a fireless cooker rather than in a freezer because there is less danger of them becoming too cold and hard. It is often convenient to make cold drinks, like lemonade or fruit punch, some hours before they are used. By chilling them and placing in the cooker they can be kept cool without ice. Sometimes a little ice is put into the box with the food to make it cooler, just as hot soapstones or bricks are put in to make it hotter. Because there is less space to keep cool, much less ice is needed than in the chamber of an ice box. The ice in the cooker melts slowly and so keeps the temperature down much longer than if it were used in an open pitcher. What receptacles it is best to use for food to be kept cool in the cooker depends on their kind. The material can often be put directly into the pail, just as if it were to be cooked For lisuids it is sometimes more convenient to use a low bottle or a fruit jar which will go in hte nest. If ice is to be used, it is usually cracked and packed around the bottle or dish. Simple directions for making a fireless cooker may be had by writing the United States Department of Agriculture for Bulletin 771, "Home-Made Fireless Cookers and Their Use."

ANAHEIM GAZETTE STILL BURNING VICTORY LOAN START PETITIONS AGAINST BONE DRY LAWS Grape Growers Protective Association Will Fight Against Prohibition. Referendum petitions against the Sheppard bone-dry amendment and the Harris enabling act, which would make the national prohibition amendment enforceable in California on and after January 16, 1920, were put in circulation throughout the State today. H. F. Stoll, secretary of the California Grape Protective Association, says that 34,433 signatures will be required to put these measures on the ballot at the next State election. He predicts that the drive for signatures will be completed in 30 days. Los Angeles county is relied upon by Stoll to provide 10,000 names. San Francisco is expected to do better with 15,000 signatures. Estimates from other counties are: Alameda, 5000; Sacramento, San Joaquin, Santa Clara, Napa, Sonoma, 2500 each; Contra Costa, Fresno, Humboldt, Mendocino and San Diego, 1000 each. The remaining counties are expected to furnish from 100 to 500 names each. "We do not believe the people of California favor the drastic Sheppard bone-dry national amendment," said Stoll, "and that is why we are invoking a referendum against it. State-wide prohibition has been beaten three times in California by substantial majorities. Despite this distinguished guest on the now fashionable upper floor of the Orange county jail. This time it's Lieut. H. B. Gordon, navy aviator of North Island, the celebrated high flyer who punctured the atmosphere along the State highway south of Santa Ana on Feb. 24 at a speed of 54 miles an hour. In an auto, not a plane! Proved eligible for the smart colony of the "fast" set which for some time now has been frequenting the chaste monasterial cells of Peace Cox's "country house" at Santa Ana, the young lieutenant was given the regulation 10 days. One of the last celebrated prisoners there belonged to 10 of the most exclusive clubs of Southern California. The present dashing officer prisoner was caught by the Orange county fly cops in a trap near El Toro. On March 1 Lieut. Gordon appeared before the justice and pleaded guilty to a charge of speeding. When sentence was passed he gave notice of an appeal in order to stay execution of the commitment until he could return to San Diego, secure a leave of absence for 10 days and return. The commanding officer at San Diego refused the requested leave and questioned the authority of the jurisdiction of civil authorities. But Justice Cox is not one to have the personnel of his "house parties" thus upset. So he wrote to Secretary of the Navy Daniels. Result—the secretary at once directed the lieutenant's commanding officer at San Diego to turn Gordon over to the sheriff and "let him come to the party." GRAND JURORS FILE SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT Two Recommendations Added to those of Original Report. Recommending a new schoolhouse and larger grounds for the Serra district and installation of a warning bell on the S. P. branch line from Anahiem to Los Alamitos at the Garden Grove road, the Orange County Grand Jury has filed its supplemental and final report. Signed by Lew H. Wallace, foreman, and A. B. Gardner, secretary, the complete report is as follows: We your grand jury, empaneled November 18, 1918, being now about to adjourn sine die and ask for your dismissal, submit herewith this supplemental and our final report. We have to report first that while all of the recommendations made by us in our previous and principal report have been acted upon to our entire satisfaction, we are especially glad to note the following: The First Street road leading into Santa Ana from the west has been put into as good condition as in our judgment is possible without paving. The Board of Supervisors has taken steps looking to the building as early as feasible of a Hall of Records. Bolsa School District, Greenville, or Old Newport School District and Olive School District have taken steps which will provide them with new Humboldt, Mendocino and San Diego, 1000 each. The remaining counties are expected to furnish from 100 to 500 names each. "We do not believe the people of California favor the drastic Sheppard bone-dry national amendment," said Stoll, "and that is why we are invoking a referendum against it. State-wide prohibition has been beaten three times in California by substantial majorities. Despite this fact the legislature arbitrarily approved this measure. With the question submitted on the ballot the electors o f the State themselves will say whether they approve it. "The reason we are referencing the Harris enabling act is because it provides the machinery that would make the Sheppard measure enforceable after January 16, 1920, and would annihilate the wine grape industry. It would even prevent the wine grape grower from making wine from his own grapes for use at his own table. "I consider its provision regarding the storing and use of sacramental wines an insult to every clergyman who must use wine for sacramental purposes." Section 15 would enable dry communities to call election and make even more drastic provisions, such as prohibiting the storing or use of wines in one's own home, even though the wines may have been obtained before the Sheppard amendment became effective."
