CALIFORNIA'S CHANCE The new federal quarantine measure prohibiting the importation into the United States of certain varieties of nursery stocks, plants and seeds is meeting with determined opposition upon the part of some of the importers of plants in the East and is being made the subject of a prolonged discussion among nurserymen and horticulturists generally. It is a subject in which California has a rather peculiar interest. The Golden State has been a leader in the fight against pests and diseases of all kinds affecting plants. California, in fact, has so much of its wealth tied up in orchards and field crops, that it has been a case of compulsion and self-preservation that no precaution be neglected for the protection of its growers. Its quarantines have been rigid and they have for the most part been rigidly enforced. The result speaks for itself—California probably has its pests better under control than any other State in the Union. Dr. C. L. Marlatt, chairman of the Federal Horticultural Board, stated at the recent Riverside convention of the Association of Nurserymen that California had been an example and inspiration for pest control in every section of the country. California, it was made quite apparent at the series of Riverside meetings, is pretty solid for the government quarantine plan, at least in principle. The nurserymen, horticultural officials, and growers from the various States represented at the different conventions, joined enthusiastically in the organization of the interstate association intended to insure effective cooperation in fighting the common enemies of plant life infesting and threatening the West and Southwest. They are more than willing to help the East. Meeting of City Council (Continued from page 1) company representative appear before the board and state his case more fully. The board partly criticised their superintendent for not making these facts known sooner, as the deal for the new pump had already been made. It has been learned that the superintendent does not consider the new pump the best offered in the recent opening of bids, all things considered. The case is to be further discussed at the next meeting. Claims Error in Figures The Pacific Pipe Company sent a communication claiming that an error had been made in their quotation for pipe, and instead of the price being $66.88 per ton it should have been $68.88. It is said the error had been made in telegraphic transmission of the figures. The board announced that since the company's original figures had been accepted the city would buy the pipe in open market and look to the company for the difference. Marshal Gets Glad Hand Chairman McFadden of the light, power and police committee—to whom had been referred the request of John Ziegler of Hotel Valencia, for an investigation of the actions of Marshal A. W. Wood, in which it was stated that official had raided his premises and seized a quantity of liquor—reported that he believed the Marshal was in the discharge of his duties and was within his rights in taking the liquor under the circumstances and McFadden observed that he believed the Marshal was rather to be commended than censured. Attorney Ames advised the board would be guaranteed satisfaction.

WHAT GERMAN DEMANDED Germans comp of the allied po are mild as com that would have ent at the series of Riverside meetings, is pretty solid for the government quarantine plan, at least in principle. The nurserymen, horticultural officials, and growers from the various States represented at the different conventions, joined enthusiastically in the organization of the interstate association intended to insure effective cooperation in fighting the common enemies of plant life infesting and threatening the West and Southwest. They are more than willing to help the East protect itself from similar menaces, not only because of the danger that such pests might sift through the Rockies and attack western plants, but because of a desire to help out growers elsewhere. If the federal quarantine is made to stick, as there appears to be every reason to believe it will, California will also have another species of interest in the subject. This is the State best suited for the production of the very kinds of stock for which the country has been so largely dependent upon imports. California has been neglectful of its opportunities along the line of such production, having too long allowed foreign lands to supply the American market with stocks that could have been produced just as well or better within its own confines. This State should have gone after this business in dead earnest long ago. Now, with so much foreign stuff banned, California's chance to build up this neglected and important industry has come. California's products already have the name of being the cleanest grown. That in itself is a tremendous asset with which to start into this new business. European inspection, according to feredal officials, has proven to be a dangerously uncertain quantity, so uncertain and so menacing, in fact, that it can no longer be relied upon. California, with a reputation for carefulness and thoroughness in this respect already established, is ready to step right into the business that Europe, because of its past record for unloading pests upon us, has apparently forfeited. Will California's nurserymen and growers rise to their opportunity? PEANUTS AS INTERCROP Growers of fruit in the Southwest, especially those who have deciduous groves on sandy loam soil, have in the Ziegler of Hotel Valencia, for an investigation of the actions of Marshal A. W. Wood, in which it was stated that official had raided his premises and seized a quantity of liquor—reported that he believed the Marshal was in the discharge of his duties and was within his rights in taking the liquor under the circumstances and McFadden observed that he believed the Marshal was rather to be commended than censured. Attorney Ames advised the board that according to the city ordinance, in view of the fact that a plea of guilty had been entered by the young man involved in the case, the Marshal had the power to seize the liquor, but that the city had no right to keep it. A county ordinance gives county authorities the power to destroy contraband wet goods, but such provision does not apply to cities. Therefore, it was ordered that upon proper demand made by Mr. Ziegler the liquor seized by the Marshal would be returned to him. Complaint Against Motorcycle Officer At the conclusion of this case, Trustee Gibbs stated that complaint had been made to him regarding the conduct of the city motorcycle officer. The president of the council referred the matter to the committee on police regulation and to report at the next meeting. Garbage Cans Filled to Overflowing Complaint was made regarding the present gathering of garbage, contract for which between the city and the former lessee has been allowed to lapse. It was stated that a new contract with Mr. Bastanchury and the city would be presented at the next meeting for acceptance. A resolution providing for the closing of an 18-foot alley in the Helman and Sorenson subdivision, was passed. Trustee Gibbs, as a special committee, to whom was referred the allowance of $3 per man in the band for each open air concert, was granted further time. W. J. Elliott was granted permission to remove three buildings from South Philadelphia street, the same being the property of the Methodist church, to make room for other improvements. The City Clerk was instructed to write the Southern California Automobile Club advising them to install their warning signs as per their request.

In the Southern States peanut growers have received high returns from selected seed where the crop has been grown for peanuts alone. They add humus and nitrogen to the soil, and the tops are excellent hog feed, and can be cut and dried as hay, fed green or put up as silage. One difficulty which Southern California growers have experienced is in getting pure seed. The Department of Agriculture takes the stand that the Spanish type is the best in the Southern States, and this variety does well in this region. Georgia Improved and Tennessee Red are also grown. The peanut seed is shelled, care being taken not to break the inner skin, and all shrivelled kernels are rejected. They are planted in May, June or July in rows three feet apart, and eighteen inches apart in the row. Five tons of hay to the acre have been harvested. Three Mexicans, who claim Fullerton as their place of abode, were gathered in by the police Saturday, showing advanced stages of intoxication. They were sent through the mill. The City Clerk was instructed to remove three buildings from South Philadelphia street, the same being the property of the Methodist church, to make room for other improvements. The City Clerk was instructed to write the Southern California Automobile Club advising them to install their warning signs as per their request. Asks for More Dinero Charles Schulz offered before the board and asked for a raise in wages. He has long been in the city's employ and is now receiving $3.00 per day. He says the stipend is insufficient to ward off the high cost of living: Referred to power house committee. At a recent meeting the board raised some salaries of employees at the power house, while others remain as formerly. It has been learned that some dissatisfaction now exists among the men at the plant, and from what is heard some of them may quit. Put on the Blinkers Manager Dwyer said he had just received a phone asking the board to take some action relative to the telephone walk-out, but his caller was unidentified as a buzzing sound denoted that some one cut in. However, the board decided that they had other fish to fry and would not horn in on this latest unpleasantness. Whadda Mean? Bump Off Our Men? A lengthy communication was received from an engineering service company up-state offering to give the board the latest word as to how to conduct a city, advancing the information that their officials are expert in every particular and are capable of giving correct advice as to how a municipality should be constructed. Their system of planning was said to be of an advantageous character and ANAHEIM GAZETTE CENIL before more and their these real for made. superinthe new recent considered. passed at sent a an error for price be have been vision of needed that figures would buy look to light, who whom of John an Marshal stated premises uor—reMarshalies and being the and believed commendthe board would be guaranteed to give entire satisfaction. At conclusion of the reading of the proposals members of the council heaved a sigh, the attorney and engineer exchanged mutual ocular recognition signs, wondering if their official heads would be consigned to the municipal waste basket, and as the cooling evening draughts of fresh air floated into the council rooms Trustee McFadden lighted a new Perfecto, moved that the communication be filed, which was so ordered, and Mayor Dwyer called for the bills. Irrigators Must Be Careful An ordinance was passed making it unlawful to allow irrigation water to run in city streets. Complaint had been made about one irrigator especially in the west end, who carelessly allowed the water to leave his premises and flood the dirt roads in his neighborhood. This created mud in the roads and besides caused weeds to grow. It may be here stated that this applies to irrigation water only and has no bearing upon the city's domestic supply, which is not used for irrigating purposes. An erroneous impression has been created in certain quarters that the city is running short of water and that this action has been taken to stop waste. This report has been misleading. The city has plenty of domestic water at present and forecasting the need of more water in the future the trustees are preparing on to increase the supply by installing a new modern 12-inch pump which will take care of the city's needs for many years to come. WHAT GERMANY WOULD HAVE DEMANDED FROM FRANCE Germans complain of the harshness of the allied peace terms, yet these are mild as compared with the terms that would have been imposed on the bureau of crop estimates says that the Watsonville district which shipped nearly 2,500,000 boxes of apples in 1918 has prospects for a ten per cent heavier crop this year. New-towns, the principal variety, are about the same as last year, while Bellflowers are considerably heavier. The Sebastopol section is now estimated at about 750 carloads of which approximately 500 will be Gravensteins. It is too early to forecast dried appleproduction although the Watsonville district is now forecasted at about 5,000 tons of dried apples, and Sebastopol at from 3,500 to 4,000 tons, which is almost equal to the very heavy production of 1918. DROWNED AT HERMOSA While hundreds looked on, including his sister, who did not realize it was he, J. Leonard Doher, 24, a returned soldier, was drowned in the surf at Hermosa Beach Sunday afternoon. Two life guards and another bather struggled in vain to bring the young man to safety alive. He was the only son of Mrs. Anna Doher, 311 Patton street, Los Angeles. Doher was swimming near the pier and was suddenly caught in an undertow. He cried for help and C. G. Maher of 238 South Beaudry, Los Angeles, went to the rescue. Doher frantically fought Maher, who, exhausted, was compelled to seek safety for himself. Persons on shore summoned two Redondo Beach life guards, Fred Walters and Charles C. Mason, who swam out to where Doher was making a last effort to keep above the water. Only after a fatiguing struggle were the two life guards able to bring the soldier ashore. For three hours physicians worked over the body of the young man, us- WHAT GERMANY WOULD HAVE DEMANDED FROM FRANCE Germans complain of the harshness of the allied peace terms, yet these are mild as compared with the terms that would have been imposed on the allies had the Germans triumphed. Abundant evidence of this fact is furnished by utterances made from time to time during the war by the kaiser himself and his trusted advisers. Count von Bernstorff, the German representative in this country, was more specific than his imperial master in stating Germany's aims. M. Clemenceau published in October, 1914, a letter he had received concerning a conversation between Bernstorff and an American banker in the presence of several Berliners. One of the Berliners asked Bernstorff what the kaiser would take from France at the end of the war. The German ambassador replied, counting off the points on his fingers: "First—All the colonies, Morocco entire; Algeria and Tunis. "Second—All of France from St. Valery in a straight line to Lyons (or more than a quarter of France, with more than 15,000,000 inhabitants). "Third—An indemnity of ten billions. "Fourth—A commercial treaty permitting German goods to enter France duty free for 25 years without reciprocity; thereafter a continuation of the trade conditions of the treaty of Frankfort. "Fifth—For a period of 25 years France would have no compulsory military service. "Sixth—The demolition of all French fortresses. "Seventh—a gift by France of 3,000,000 rifles, 3000 cannon and 40,000 horses. "Eighth—Patent rights for German patents without reciprocity for 25 years. "Ninth—France to abandon her alliance with Russia and England. "Tenth—A 25-year treaty of alliance with Germany." The American, says M. Clemenceau, wrote that the foregoing were what Count von Bernstorff literally called "The ten German commandments." As to the other allies, Bernstorff is employees ward off the high cost of living. Street rumor has it that dissatisfaction exists among some of the men at the power house, who claim they are still underpaid. A nosey person is annoying especially when five men, good and true, are grappling with matters demanding calm and impartial deliberation. At times when the species gets too close to the grindstone the nasal appendage becomes scorched—sometimes gets flattened. Gradually it is beginning to dawn upon people long resident in this section that there is a possibility of their gaining entrance into the opulent class after all, for who knows but what everybody—nearly everybody—has an oil well right in his own backyard. When the owner of a business block built his structure some years ago he figured that Los Angeles street would always be the main business artery and from that deduction gave the frontage on that street prior consideration. But now he sees Center taking its place well up in front, owing no doubt to its increased width. A well-known young society gent took his departure for Bakersfield a few days ago, having his wardrobe neatly tucked away in a suitcase, which, during the time when goodbyes were being said, fell into the hands of two designing pals, bent on doing a bit of mischief. Each deposited a good size brick in the alligator-hide and when the train pulled out the young man grabbed up his belongings and was off on his journey. That suitcase will heft good to the Bakersfield innkeeper and it's to be hoped he will not be forced to annex the hand bag for any unsettled accounts, as its contents may jar him.

Dooher frantically fought Maher, who, exhausted, was compelled to seek safety for himself. Persons on shore summoned two Redondo Beach life guards, Fred Walters and Charles C. Mason, who swam out to where Dooher was making a last effort to keep above the water. Only after a fatiguing struggle were the two life guards able to bring the soldier ashore. For three hours physicians worked over the body of the young man, using pulmotors and other respiratory treatments, all of which were of no avail. Dooher's clothes were found and two hours later his sister, Miss Margaret Dooher, discovered that the man she had seen drowning was her brother. The victim of the tragedy was for two years in active service in France attached to the 348th Field Artillery, later with the army of occupation in Germany. He had returned to his home only a month ago. The body was taken to Redondo and later removed to Los Angeles.

It is best suited to those foods which require boiling, steaming, or long, slow cooking in a moist heat.

"Ninth—France to abandon her alliance with Russia and England." "Tenth—a 25-year treaty of alliance with Germany." The American, says M. Clemenceau, wrote that the foregoing were what Count von Bernstorff literally called "The ten German commandments." As to the other allies, Bernstorff is quoted as having said: "Germany will buy Russia and will finish off England. As for France, she must be reduced, sunk forever, made another Portugal or Turkey, even if we have to kill 5,000,000 Frenchmen to do it." Rudolph Martin, former German minister of the interior, in a pamphlet issued in Berlin March, 1915, predicted that after dictating peace in London, Germany would exact a tribute of $30,000,000 to $37,000,000,000. A large slice of France would be cut off; Belgium and her Congo colony would be absorbed; Serbia would go to Austria-Hungary; Egypt and the Suez canal to Turkey. UTILIZING CAST-OFFS The old boots and shoes that are cast into the dustbin in England have much value. They are soaked in water to remove the dirt, all the nails and threads are picked out, and the leather is reduced to a thick pulp, from which wall papers, screens, &c., are made. The finer the original quality of leather the better it takes the bronze and old gold of the designs which make these hangings things of "Poor Jim has been sent to a lunatic asylum," said the barber, flourishing a shining razor over his customer.

The cooker are cereals, soups, meats, vegetables, dried fruits, steamed breads, and puddings. When different foods are cooked together in the fireless cooker they must be such as require the same amount of cooking, since the cooker can not be opened to take out food without allowing the escape of a large amount of heat and making it necessary to boil water. Baking powder or other tins often are found useful for this purpose. Another way is to place one food in a basin which just fits into the top of a large kettle and to let some other material, some vegetable perhaps, cook in the water in the bottom of the kettle. Two or more flat, shallow kettles placed one on top of the other so as to fill the cooker enable one to cook small amounts of different foods successfully. Such kettles, made especially for use in fireless cookers, may be purchased.
