GOVERNMENT TO SELL SURPLUS FOODSTUFF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS' WORTH OF STAPLE PRODUCTS TO BE SOLD AT DISCOUNT
Hams, Bacon, Canned Goods, will be Distributed at 20 Per Cent Less Than Cost—Cities Selling Agents.
Any California municipality by application to the War Department may secure in carload lots surplus food supplies of the army at 20 per cent less than the cost to the government. This food may be sold to the people of the city and from the proceeds of the sale remittance made to the United States. This obviates using city money or raising a fund for this purpose by public subscription. War Department officials say the plan will be ready for operation within a week or so. Most of the food is now stored in the large cities of the country and deliveries will be made from the local warehouses in Los Angeles and other cities nearest the place of consumption. Eastern cities are arranging for methods of distribution to the residents of the respective municipalities and the War Department expects that all surplus foods now held by the army amounting to millions on millions of prime staples such as bacon, hams and keeper can afford to pay 4 or 5 cents for a quart of fish heads which provide a satisfactory protein-containing food for his flock.
NEW DRAINAGE DISTRICT IS BEING FORMED
Buena Park-Cypress Ranchers Organize for Work.
At a meeting of the property owners of the Buena Park and Cypress district, steps were taken for the organization of a drainage district.
This meeting was called through the Buena Park Farm Center, and was attended by no less than fifty farmers. H. H. Weir, drainage engineer connected with the University of California, declared that in looking over the land that it is proposed shall be drained, he was satisfied that the land would be made much more productive by proper drainage, and he recommended the organization of a district and the installation of a system.
J. N. Anderson of Santa Ana reviewed some of the steps that were undertaken a year or more ago toward the formation of a district. W. D. Johnston, who was one of the principal organizers of the Westminster Drainage District, outlined some of the good accomplished through that district. H. C. Head explained fully the legal requirements for organizing a district.
A committee of five was instructed to proceed at once with securing a petition for the formation of a district. The petition will be presented to the board of supervisors.
The success of the drainage movement for Garden Grove and the Cypress-Buena Park districts is now assumed.

Most of the food is now stored in the large cities of the country and deliveries will be made from the local warehouses in Los Angeles and other cities nearest the place of consumption. Eastern cities are arranging for methods of distribution to the residents of the respective municipalities and the War Department expects that all surplus foods now held by the army amounting to millions on millions of prime staples such as bacon, hams and canned vegetables, fish and meats, will all be transferred to consumers without delay and with little disturbance of local markets and with great saving to the individual.
This announcement was made in Washington by Representative Oliver of Alabama, following a conference with C. W. Hare, director of surplus food products of the army.
The plan as outlined by Mr. Hare contemplates the assignment of the food in carload lots to municipalities which may apply for it and undertake to sell and distribute it. The government will not look for reimbursement until after the money from the sale is collected by the city governments.
Representative Oliver said the arrangement decided on by the War Department should make it possible for Los Angeles to be one of the first cities to actually obtain the army stores and dispose of them to private consumers. In Washington it is planned to have the public schools as distributing depots.
It is considered likely that the first consignment of the government owned products will be on its way to Washington from Baltimore, the nearest army depot, not later than the middle or the latter part of this week.
It is not likely the district government itself will undertake to actually handle the food, but it will exercise an official supervision over it. Representative Oliver said the government action would not only help to put the food plan into operation but that he would take immediate steps to enable citizens of his State to obtain the surplus supplies. Corned beef and bacon and canned goods especially will be offered to consumers at a big saving cost, Mr. Oliver said.
Investigation of the disposition of surplus war supplies by the War Department was started Monday by the Quartermaster Corps Subcom-
CONGRESSMAN PRAISES
FINE SPIRIT OF WOMEN
Their Services in War Given Recognition in House by Congressman Kahn.
A joint resolution offered by Congressman Julius Kahn, chairman of the Military Affairs Committee, pays women the well-deserved tribute which their splendid devotion merits. The resolution, which was referred to the Military Affairs Committee, reads as follows:
"Whereas the women of America fired the spirit of its heroic soldiers with the high ideals of duty and devotion to their country and humanity, which caused America to draw its sword in the great World War and to sheath it in victory; and
Whereas they toiled ceaselessly to assist the armies of freedom in their war against autocracy and militarism; and
Whereas they gave the men they loved to the service of the land they loved and of the high ideals of right and liberty to which they consecrated themselves; and
Whereas they aided their country in mobilizing its moral and material resources for war and victory; and
Whereas they deserve the thanks of their country:
Therefore be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Congress of the United States thanks the women of America for their splendid devotion to the cause for which their country entered the great World War and for their inspiring service to that great cause at home, in the camp, in the hospital, and on the field of battle."
A committee of five was instructed to proceed at once with securing a petition for the formation of a district. The petition will be presented to the board of supervisors.
The success of the drainage movement for Garden Grove and the Cypress-Buena Park districts is now assured.
The Garden Grove center's committee was instructed Monday night to proceed with organization plans.

Investigation of the disposition of surplus war supplies by the War Department was started Monday by the Quartermaster Corps Subcommittee of the special House investigating committee. Representative Reavis of Nebraska, chairman of the subcommittee, said today that C. W. Hare, director of sales for the army would be questioned as to why some of the supplies, particularly foodstuffs were not being placed on the market in larger quantities.
FEEDING FISH HEADS TO POULTRY
A simple and inexpensive substitute for meat scraps which, often, are hard to obtain at the average butcher shop, is to utilize fish heads in the poultry ration. Arrangements usually can be made with local fish dealers to save these heads, particularly if the poultryman will furnish buckets in which the refuse may be kept until he calls for them. As they come from the dealer’s shop, the fish heads are tough and covered with heavy scales and gristle. However, underneath is fine tender meat which the hens polish keenly. The poultryman can soften the coarse outer shell by boiling the fish head in water for 3 to 10 minutes and then pouring off the water and throwing the fish heads in among the chickens. In many instances the dealers are glad to get rid of the fish heads, and on the basis of actual food value the poultry

LET CONTRACT FOR PAVING
Contract for the laying of 3% miles of paving in the Santa Ana canyon was let by the supervisors today to Steele Finley of Santa Ana. The contract price is $36,211.93, more than $6,000 under the county engineer's estimate, $42,800, for the work.
Other bids submitted to the board were the following: Chas. D. Soteras, $39,724.05; R. T. Shea & Co., $42,-699.69; Redondo Construction Co., $44,-610.34; Roger Bros. Co., $46,037.50.
The county is to furnish the crushed rock and cement for the paving, which is to have a four-inch concrete base. The rock is already on the ground, so there will be no delay on account of lack of material, and the work, when started, can be pushed through to completion. The paving will begin almost immediately and will be completed before the rainy season begins.
The strip to be paved includes the new road on the slope of Sulphur Slide and is the last strip in the canyon paved, so its completion will insure a permanent all-the-year-round road between Orange and Riverside counties. A by-pass will be open while the paving is in progress.

URGES REMOVAL IN
FORT SILL CASE
Expenditure of $13,000,000 Called Criminal by Rodenburg
Prompt removal or impeachment of the officials responsible for the abandonment of the long-established and extensive military reservation at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and the removal of this cantonment to the State of Georgia at a cost of $13,000,000, is urged by Representative William Rodenburg of Illinois. Mr. Rodenberg's action in this regard is occasioned by the statement in the House, of Representative Ferris, a Democrat, of Oklahoma, who revealed this remarkable instance of war-time extravagance in the course of consideration of the military appropriation bill. Mr. Rodenburg said:
"The people who are groaning under the burden of taxation are entitled to know the real reasons that impelled the War Department to abandon this tract of land in Oklahoma containing 121,000 acres, every foot of which was owned by the government; which was in every way adapted for the purposes of a rifle range and had long been used exclusively for such purpose; and, purchase another vast tract in Georgia at a cost of thirteen million dollars. This wasteful and wholly unnecessary expenditure of public moneys is positively criminal and should lead to the prompt removal or impeachment of the official or officials who are responsible for it, and the removal or impeachment should be followed by criminal prosecution. Approximately 130,000 acres of this Georgia land has been purchased since the signing of the armistice and the price paid by the government was far in excess of the market value in fact some of the land for which the limbs the deadly 10 per cent capable of restoring the ordinary army almost any day.
Here's where the ladybug comes in. With the Argentine ant vanquished, the ladybug will have no enemy and the mealy bug will have no protector.
By means of the insectary the county will raise billions of ladybugs and these are to be released in the grand advance against the 10 per cent of the mealy bugs which survive the egg destruction and the distillate spray.
Mealy bugs are pie for ladybugs, so Horticultural Commissioner John P. Coy of San Bernardino was able to assure the supervisors that the mealy bug would be no more if the county will provide the money for preparedness.
THE AMERICAN LEGION
The birth of the American Legion in St. Louis in May was one of the most momentous developments of the war. Never in the history of this country was there such a gathering of young men. The enthusiasm of youth was quite evident but no group of sages could have been more cool-headed, keener in judgment, or more intense in purpose than these ex-soldiers and sailors of the United States.
It was evident throughout that two greatest attributes which the men brought home from the war were a spirit of unselfishness and a desire for service to mankind. Every resolution which could be interpreted by the country as indicating a selfish motive on the part of the soldiers, for example, the six months' additional pay for discharged soldiers, was immediately voted down, practically unanimously. At no time would any hint of using this organization as a militia be tolerated. The land
ful and wholly unnecessary expenditure of public moneys is positively criminal and should lead to the prompt removal or impeachment of the official or officials who are responsible for it, and the removal or impeachment should be followed by criminal prosecution. Approximately 130,000 acres of this Georgia land has been purchased since the signing of the armistice and the price paid by the government was far in excess of the market value. In fact, some of the land for which the government paid as high as $40 an acre was worth $2 an acre for any purpose.
"The statement of Mr. Ferris, coming, as it does, from the Chairman of the Democratic National Congressional Committee, cannot well be ignored, as he expressly disavows any desire to embarrass the War Department. The Committee on Expenditures in the War Department will, of course, investigate the whole matter, and when the rottenness of this particular transaction is fully exposed it is to be hoped that the people who are responsible will receive their just deserts."
PLAN CAMPAIGN ON THE MEALY BUG
Experimenters Say Argentine Ant is the Pest's Ally.
Plans for halting the spread of the mealy bug, which has shown up in the Upland citrus groves, were made by the supervisors of San Bernardino county.
The government, as a result of tests conducted for two years by U. S. Inspector Borden at Upland, now knows how to kill off the mealy bug, and the big advance is now to begin. Borden has eliminated the bug in a 150-acre grove.
The supervisors approved expenditure of $500 for an insectary—a plant to produce a variety of the ladybug—and the employment of a deputy horticultural commissioner who will be the mealy bug expert.
It appears from Borden's investigation that there is a kind of a league of nations covenant between the mealy bug and the Argentine ant. The ant lives on excretions from the mealy bug, and so that it will have a full dinner pail it is up to the ant to maintain a strong army to kill off the enemies of the mealy bug—the most dangerous of which is the gentle little ladybug.
Two greatest attributes which the men brought home from the war were a spirit of unselfishness and a desire for service to mankind. Every resolution which could be interpreted by the country as indicating a selfish motive on the part of the soldiers, for example, the six months' additional pay for discharged soldiers, was immediately voted down, practically unanimously. At no time would any hint of using this organization as a political power be tolerated. The leaders in the movement were the strongest in denouncing any political preferment for any man as one of the motives of the Legion.
Bolshevism, the I. W. W. movement and all other radical movements tinged with non-Americanism were most severely arraigned. It was ever apparent that here was a group of men, representing millions of other men, who would fight and die to perpetuate a hundred per cent Americanism. It was even more apparent that this organization stood squarely behind fair play for every one and would not tolerate the misuses of either economic or political power by any class or party.
But the most vivid impression gained at the convention was the spirit of idealism which marked almost every action. This spirit can best be interpreted by the one word—Service—service to their country, service to one another, and especially, to those soldiers handicapped because of lack of funds, unemployment or disability from disease or wounds, and service to humanity.
A new force is abroad in the country—a force that will "safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom, and democracy."
ASK PARDON FOR DEAD MAN
Governor Bickett of North Carolina has been requested to grant a pardon to a dead man—a soldier killed in France—in order that his mother can collect the $10,000 insurance which he took out upon enlisting in the military forces following his escape from the State prison.
Fordney Williams was sent to the State prison from Roblson county in 1915 for 15 years for burglary. He escaped and enlisted in St. Louis, and in a short time he was in France.

It appears from Borden's investigation that there is a kind of a league of nations covenant between the mealy bug and the Argentine ant. The ant lives on excretions from the mealy bug, and so that it will have a full dinner pall it is up to the ant to maintain a strong army to kill off the enemies of the mealy bug—the most dangerous of which is the gentle little ladybug.
Having guaranteed the integrity of the kingdom of the mealy bug, the Argentine ant is doomed to die by the financial ally of the ladybug, the board of supervisors.
This is the method of campaign:
First, the Argentine ant is to go. He will be killed by slow poison, despite the prohibition of The Hague against such methods of warfare. Like the kaiser, the queen ant does not go out on the battle line to fight the ladybug, so the United States has concocted a brand of poison that the warriors will carry to the throne. All unconsciously the queen will be destroyed in her own hive—just like the German troops carried home the poison that in the kaiser's case were the stories of how the Americans could fight.
The mealy bug comes down out of the limbs of the orange and lemon trees to lay the eggs under some convenient protection, so around the trunks of the trees will be placed bands and under these the eggs will be laid. At the proper season, the rancher will scrape away these eggs, and by use of distillate spray will kill some of the mamma mealy bugs in the lower limbs. The combination will kill off about 90 per cent of the new crop of mealy bugs.
But there still remain in the upper to a dead man—a soldier killed in France—in order that his mother can collect the $10,000 insurance which he took out upon enlisting in the military forces following his escape from the State prison.
Fordney Williams was sent to the State prison from Robinson county in 1915 for 15 years for burglary. He escaped and enlisted in St. Louis, and in a short time he was in France.
While the records show that Williams enlisted under the name of Rogers, he made his insurance payable to his mother, Mrs. Williams, who is now living in Winston-Salem. He was assigned to a machine gun battalion and was killed.
His military record, the official reports show, was good, but when the bureau of war risk insurance found that he was a fugitive from justice it refused to pay over the money.

LIED TO OFFICERS GETS EXTRA SENTENCE
Judge Cox Gives Speedster 25 Days in Jail.
As a fifty-six-mile speeder, Joe Cota of Los Angeles, was due for ten days in the Orange county jail under the schedule of Justice J. B. Cox. As one who gave the wrong name and address when arrested and who failed to appear in court at the appointed time, he was entitled to fifteen days more for good measure, in the opinion of Cox, who sentenced Cota to spend twenty-five days in jail.
Cota, driving for William Kellar of Whittier, was arrested a few days ago by Motor Officer O. K. Carr, and was cited to appear in Cox's court on Wednesday. He went through the 330-foot trap in four seconds flat. When arrested, Cota gave his name as Frank Lopez and his address at 105 South Boyle, Los Angeles. When he did not appear in court Wednesday, a warrant was issued, and Cota was traced to his home on State street through an interview Officer Carr had with Kellar, owner of the machine.
"If you're arrested, don't lie about it," said Cox. "You tried to deceive us by giving the wrong name and address, and further attempted to evade the penalty by failing to appear in court when ordered. It is the judgment of this court that you be committed to the Orange county jail for a period of twenty-five days."

OLD TIMER DROPS DEAD
While carrying an armful of corn fodder from a small patch at his home on South Lemon street, Orange, Wednesday afternoon, Frank P. Carpenter, well known old-timer at Orange, died suddenly of heart failure. His body was found two or three hours after death occurred.
Mr. Carpenter, familiarly known as "Pancho," was born at Los Nietos seventy years ago, member of a well known Southern California family, closely connected with some of the early Spanish families. He was a cousin of John T. Carpenter, who organized the irrigation company at El Modena, which company still bears his name.
Frank Carpenter lived at Orange for over forty years. For many years he was employed on N. T. Edwards' bee ranch in the Santiago canyon. He leaves a widow and three sons, Louis, Henry and Robert.
It has never been explained why McAdoo and Hines have lost a couple of billion dollars running the railroads when they had right at hand as one of the main props and pillars of the administration, Justice Brandels, who wrote a lot of articles a few years ago telling how he could save the railways all kinds of money if he had the chance.
The senators are told that they should wait to see the treaty before discussing it. Then if they ever do get a look at it the same administration claquers will be told that if senators then stop to discuss it they will be "delaying peace."
