Anaheim Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter GOOD POSITIONS WAITING Positions in the American merchant marine at good salaries await all Americans with mechanical experience who are willing to study for one month, according to Captain Charles W. Saunders, who is in charge of the United States Shipping Board's free marine engineering and navigation schools in California. The Shipping Board's recruiting service maintains a free engineering school in Berkeley. Men who have had any mechanical experience are eligible to enroll in the school, declares Captain Saunders. The course is one month in length. Previous sea experience is not required for enrollment. On graduating the engineering students are assigned to deep water vessels, on which they receive practical experience for a brief period before being licensed and paid the high salaries now given marine engineers. There are thousands of vacancies in the engine rooms of the American ships, says Captain Saunders. These vacancies must be filled at once to guarantee the operation of new cargo carriers. Men who want to enter the governmental marine school Southern California, died Wednesday night at 11 o'clock, at his home in Pomona, where he had been living the past few months. Mr. Knight was one of the best known citrus managers of Orange county, and made hosts of friends during his long residence in Tustin. Ill health forced him to resign his position with the Tustin Lemon Association last February, and during the last three months he became worse. Previous to coming to Orange county, Mr. Knight had been manager of a ranch in Ventura county and was for eight years manager of a citrus association at Whittler. He is survived by his widow, four sons, and five daughters. WAR GARDEN WORK TO BE PERMANENT Commission Expects People to Continue Their Activities. Its war work completed by organizing the soldiers of the soil for another record breaking year of food production f. o. b. the kitchen door, the National War Garden Commission announces that its activities have ended. "The war time emergency has passed," said President Charles Lathrop Peck, who organized the commission six weeks before the United States entered the war. "The commission now concludes its labors after mobilizing the Victory gardeners of the United States for the first year of peace. Returns from all over the country show that the war gardens will become permanent peace gardens and that this newly created source of food supply will be a lasting factor in feeding the POLITICAL SQUIBS President Wilson says we are no longer a nation of dollar worshipers. One gets so little for a dollar under a Democratic administration that it isn't entitled to any reverence. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays Secretary Daniels is for a big navy and on the other days a large fleet is not necessary. This ought to satisfy everybody. Tie the tails of a half dozen cats together and sling them across a fence," said President Charles Lathrop Peck, who organized the commission six weeks before the United States entered the war. "The commission now concludes its labors after mobilizing the Victory gardeners of the United States for the first year of peace. Returns from all over the country show that the war gardens will become permanent peace gardens and that this newly created source of food supply will be a lasting factor in feeding the world. After meeting the war time call of General Pershing to "keep the food coming," gardening becomes a national habit." "To the people of this country belongs the credit for the great production of the war gardens and to newspapers and other publications the credit for the enormous amount of publicity which inspired the people to plant. In stimulating the spirit of production the commission has had the invaluable aid of the newspapers and magazines of the country. This co-operation aroused millions of active partners, the gardeners themselves, who produced the food which made victory possible. "The community endeavor thus created is one of the greatest things born to this country as a result of the war. Now that the people have been brought together in this common cause, the community spirit will lead to continued community improvement. Slacker land has been put to work and in hundreds of places plans are now under way for permanent community gardens. "With the family in the garden there need be no fear of the future of this country, and if the National War Garden Commission has had a part in bringing this about it will feel well repaid for the effort." For three years the commission has sent to the newspapers and house organs of the country a free daily lesson service on gardening and on home canning and drying of vegetables and fruits. It has distributed millions of books and other instructive matter on the same subjects to individuals and through libraries, colleges, banks, business concerns and local organizations. In 1917 the commission reported 3,500,000 war gardens in the United States with a food yield valued at $350,000,000. In 1918 the number of gardens reported was 5,285,000 and the food yield $525,000,000. This year reports from these farms show that while economic products is tant problems concern adjustment period omy will be studying the next few been during the price greater supply of not only as food also for foreign d that we keep more farm.

There is one administration organ in New York City which seems to have an obsession to the effect that what the Constitution says about treaties is that the Senate shall not interfere in the matter without the advice and consent of the New York World. It is claimed, there are sixteen wars raging in Europe now, it is easy to understand Colonel Bryan's support of the Versailles world constitution, for that is sixteen wars to one peace covenant, the divine proportion. The first war for which we will have to furnish soldiers under the Versailles covenant is to be at Flume, where the national council has adopted a resolution of fealty to Italy, concluding: "Anyone trying to change actual facts as to Flume should come and try to impose changes by force." PROMINENT CITRUS MAN DEAD Fred W. Knight, for eight years, manager of the Tustin Lemon Association, and for twenty-two years engaged in the orange and lemon industry of fruits. It has distributed millions of books and other instructive matter on the same subjects to individuals and through libraries, colleges, banks, business concerns and local organizations. In 1917 the commission reported 3,500,000 war gardens in the United States with a food yield valued at $350,000,000. In 1918 the number of gardens reported was 5,285,000 and the food yield $525,000,000. This year reports from every state show that while there is naturally a decrease in the number of individual gardens, there is a gratifying expansion of community and co-operation gardens and general agreement that this form of gardening has come to stay. In home canning activities the commission figures for 1917 showed that the householder of America saved more than 500,000,000 quarts of vegetables and fruits while in 1918 the figures reached 1,450,000,000 quarts, and this year a further increase is certain. The executive committee of the County Parent-Teacher Associations met at Anaheim on Saturday afternoon. Among the topics up for discussion was the project of furnishing a maternity ward at the county hospital with bedside tables, screens and other equipment that might be used to advantage. While the philanthropic interest displayed was unquestioned the practicability of the project from a business standpoint was discussed as it was found that a fund of $23,800 is still available in the hospital budget for any necessary improvements or changes in equipment. The committee in charge of the proposed work was continued and further inquiries will be made.

HELLO GIRLS QUIT At 8 o'clock yesterday morning all the telephone girls in Anaheim except the chief operator went out on strike. The girls were loaded in autos and taken to Santa Ana where a meeting of the operators at the eight exchanges in the county was being held. All the girls in Southern California quit work OPTIMISTIC REPORT BY FEDERAL BANK Satisfactory Showing by All Lines of Industry on Pacific Coast. The Federal Reserve Bank of the Twelfth District has issued an optimistic report of conditions existing in this district in the last month. Briefly epitomized this report finds that while agricultural prospects have suffered somewhat from lack of moisture throughout the district as a whole, winter and spring, wheat, barley, oats and rye made satisfactory advancements and are in good condition. Manufacturing and industry have been active; wholesale and retail trade is good and collections from good to fair. Labor is almost fully employed except in Utah and there is an increasing shortage of farm laborers and skilled mechanics. The lumber industry is showing continued improvement and building construction shows increased activity Permits aggregating $8,150,041 were issued in 19 principal cities during April, an increase of 31.3 per cent over March and 47.3 per cent over April, 1918. The number of premits totalled 6164 in April as compared with 5205 in March. Commercial failures in the district numbered 43 or 51.68 per cent less than for the corresponding month last year, while the total liabilities were 90.1 per cent less. Interest rates continue firm and stationary ranging from 5½ to 6 per cent in industrial centers to 7 per cent in agricultural districts. Los Angeles led all of the principal cities in the district in percentage of VALUE OF SILOS Economic production of stock and stock products is one of the important problems connected with the readjustment period. Agricultural economy will be studied more closely during the next few years than it has been during the past. The need for a greater supply of both meat and milk, not only as food for this country but also for foreign demands, will require that we keep more live stock on the farm. This is also required as a land builder and a better use of our cheap raw materials. Any equipment or plan of agriculture which will tend to lower the cost of both stock and stock products will be favored in this readjustment period. A glance at the live stock sales going on over the country will illustrate that this idea is clearly held by many of our leaders in rural affairs.. All kinds of pure bred live stock are in great demand. New herds are being founded and new interest being taken in the breeding and feeding of live stock. The silo has always proven of first importance when good and economic feeding are required. For this reason we can expect a revival in silo building. As the farms become divided and made smaller, more intensive farming is required. Greater economy must be practiced and the wasting of feed cannot be tolerated. There are crops of forage such as millet, sorghum, kaffir, oats, peas, cow peas, soy beans and Sudan grass, which can be stored in the silo better than in any other form. Silage makes the cheapest substitute for hay and pasture. This has been well demonstrated and has been proven of such value that many farmers and dairymen have reduced their hay requirements half and their pasture even a greater ratio. Only the best pastures have proven a profitable crop. Good land devoted to pasture where drouth prevails is a questionable crop and it is difficult indeed to make such land earn dividends that would warrant a hundred or a hundred and fifty dollars an acre investment. Many farmers who have kept a small herd of cows have figured they did not keep enough to warrant the building and filling of a silo. This is often a mistake for with the small herd the overhead cost of care and management is often higher than it is with a large herd and the need for economy is still greater. As silos be advanced and scientific farming that the silo has an important part in this readjustment period. HELLO GIRLS QUIT At 8 o'clock yesterday morning all the telephone girls in Anaheim except the chief operator went out on strike. The girls were loaded into autos and taken to Santa Ana where a meeting of the operators at the eight exchanges in the county was being held. All the girls in Southern California quit work simultaneously, it is reported. The lone girl at the switch here is doing her best to accommodate the 950 subscribers. John Brunwath received a letter day or two ago from his son Albert, who is with the second division on the Rhine. Albert pays tribute to the mail service, stating that he recently received 28 letters in one batch, and they were dated all the way from May 29, a year ago, to Sept. 16. He also boasts that the second division engineers recently built a bridge across the Rhine in 58½ minutes. It was 1440 feet long, built across a seven-mile current, and in less than an hour after beginning the work is was completed, carrying artillery, cavalry and infantry. IMMENSE WELL FIRE ENDS PEST OF BUGS Steam Will Be Used to Fight Most Destructive Flame in History of Industry. Steam will be used to fight fire in the burning gas well near Taft, where flames shooting 200 feet into the air are consuming daily fifty million cubic feet of gas—as much as is used by the entire city of New York each twenty-four hours, or a hundred times as much as is used each day in Los Angeles, says the Brea Progress. A corps of 300 men is working night and day, setting up a half-mile away twenty-six monster steam boilers. When they are ready, a giant jet of steam will be shot through the pipes into the well. While it will take a week to make ready, it is believed that within a half-hour after the jet is turned into the well the fire will be out. The great geyser of flame from the burning well lights the country for miles around. It can be seen 90 miles away. By day it is a lurid and red-inverted number of promits totalled 614 in April as compared with 5205 in March. Commercial failures in the district numbered 43 or 51.68 per cent less than for the corresponding month last year, while the total liabilities were 90.1 per cent less. Interest rates continue firm and stationary ranging from 5½ to 6 per cent in industrial centers to 7 per cent in agricultural districts. Los Angeles led all of the principal cities in the district in percentage of increase for bank clearings with 35.5 per cent. Oakland was second with an increase of 34.3 per cent and Portland third with 24.8 per cent. There are now 67.7 per cent more wooden and steel ships under construction in Pacific Coast yards than in May, 1918, and their aggregate tonnage is 54 per cent greater. Cotton prospects are excellent in both California and Arizona, and the acreage is about the same, 173.00 in California and about 110,000 in Arizona. The cantaloupe acreage in California and Arizona in 1918 amounted to 40 per cent of the total in the United States and it is estimated that this year it will approximate 43 per cent, although the acreage for the entire country will be increased about 42 per cent. The California increase in expected to be about 39 per cent and that of Arizona about 98 per cent. Pacific coast exports show a heavy increase and San Francisco continues to lead impressively, her March total being $23,727,000 against $1,032,000 for Southern California. In imports the month's total for San Francisco is $17,263,000 and for Southern California $2,023,000. Exports for the district were $69,411,000 and imports $42,458,.OOO, an increase in the former over a year ago of about $21,000,000 and a decrease in the latter of about $11,- to make such land earn dividends that would warrant a hundred or a hundred and fifty dollars an acre investment. Many farmers who have kept a small herd of cows have figured they did not keep enough to warrant the building and filling of a silo. This is often a mistake for with the small herd the overhead cost of care and management is often higher than it is with a large herd and the need for economy is still greater. As silos become more numerous is becomes easier to fill them for the community is largely engaged in the work during the month of September and by exchange work it is easy to arrange for the filling of the small silo which would only require one day. For several years hap has not only been scarce but very high priced. It is exceedingly difficult to buy high priced hay and feed with a profit for either milk or beef production. A more liberal use of silage will do away with this high cost of hay and the succulent ration will give better returns. Along with the silo should be used leguminous hays or fodders. It has often been said, and truthfully, if you have silage then you also need alfalfa or clover and the soil needs it too. It has proven a wise and economic policy to combine these two great feeds in order to raise stock cheaply and well. The silo has been making steady advancement for the past 25 years but without doubt 1919 will see more silos constructed on the American stock farm than ever before. Practically every state in the Union has found that the silo is well fitted to their conditions. With the silo they can feed economically and utilize all theorage they grow and so it is in keeping with economic production and with twenty-six monster steam boilers. When thep are ready, a giant jet of steam will be shot through the pipes into the well. While it will take a week to make ready, it is believed that within a half-hour after the jet is turned into the well the fire will be out. The great geyser of flame from the burning well lights the country for miles around. It can be seen 90 miles away. By day it is a lurid and red-inverted cone mixed with twisting clouds of smoke. Its heat is so intense that approach to nearer than half a mile is impossible, and then only at night or when the wind is blowing the heat in the opposite direction. Winging their way to death in a flaming torch 150 feet high, black clouds of grasshoppers and every variety of winged bugs with a fondness for bright lights are making their way at night to the great gas well fire. Towns and villages within a radius of forty miles have been cleared of the insects, attracted away from street lights by the distant flaming spectacle. The gas of the well caught fire from friction of drilling tools. Already $240,000 worth of gas has been burned. The fire is the most destructive in the history of the California oil industry. Now that Oswald Garrison Villard, publisher of The Nation, has come out as an enthusiastic advocate of Soviet government, some of the colleges and high schools that have been using The Nation, along with other periodicals, as a textbook may begin to hear from the parents of the students on that score. It is inconceivable that any sane American parent would send his children to college or high school to have their minds filled with the doctrines of Bolshevism.

Petroleum was produced in California during April at the average rate of 279,154 barrels per day, while daily shipments averaged 277,244 barrels. Stored stocks were but 57,322 barrels greater than at the close of the preceding month. COACHELLA DATES Assistant Farm Advisor R. E. Nebelung came home recently from a two-day visit in Coachella valley during which he spent most of his time with U. S. Agricultural Inspector Bruce Drummonds in looking over date orchards, says the Riverside Enterprise. Mr. Nebelung says that the temperature in Indio on Wednesday, June 4, was at 108 degrees and at 10 o'clock p.m. the thermometer registered 103 degrees. "Because of inability to get offshoots for date palm planting, the acreage of date orchards has not been as largely in creased during the last spring as it was in former pears," said Mr. Nebelung. "The offshoots are imported from Northern African countries and especially from Algiers and Morocco, and the war which checked every form of merchandising in the countries bordering on the Mediterranean Sea, stopped shipments of date palm offshoots. "The on-coming crop of dates is the most promising ever known in the Coachella valley. It will be ready in September and the crop will be coming on until about December. "While in Coachella valley I went to see the new Oasis section. It is getting along famously. It has been making good money in raising early vegetables and its grape fruit promises splendidly for the growers. They think they can produce the finest quality of grape fruit in California and that it will get the market that Florida has long dominated in the east and which California has never been able to break into satisfactorily." Louis Roggis of Santa Ana was arrested Sunday near the high school at Anaheim and was fined $50 in police court on a charge of driving an auto while intoxicated.
