FAMINE IN SUGAR LOÔMS UP ON THE COAST SHORTAGE CAUSES SAN FRANCISCO DEALERS TO PUT LIMIT ON PURCHASES Many Bakeries and Candy Factories Will be Compelled to Close.—Federal Equalization Board Appealed to by Frisco Bakers. San Francisco faces a sugar famine that will soon cover the entire Coast if what sugar men say is true. With grocers limiting individual purchases of sugar to two pounds, and the cane sugar refineries of the Pacific Coast coming to the end of the supply of raw sugar, an appeal was made by forty-two manufacturers to the sugar equalization board to take steps to encourage a more liberal distribution of the beet sugar stocks. "Unless some such relief is secured between now and January 1, when the new cane crop comes in, the candy and chocolate factories, as well as the refineries, will have to close," said Louis Saroni, a local authority on sugar markets. The restrictions placed upon retail sales of sugar are without Federal authority, the grocers having decided to probably been sold or contracted for, would leave but 400,000 tons to deal with. In the interests of consumers and manufacturers, your equalization of anticipated sugar price after January 1 with present 9 cent basis seem amply justified, since it will obviate widespread distress during the next four months and it will also stabilize the price of sugar and tend to prevent profiteering and will result in free distribution." Following a report on the street that one of the beet sugar factories had shipped 200,000 bags of sugar East, while limiting its sales in California, the San Francisco Bakers' Association, composed of approximately 200 bakeries, sent the following telegram to Senators Phelan and Johnson and Congressmen Kahn and Nolan: "The action of the refineries in San Francisco from whom the smaller bakers procure their supply will force fusing to sell sugar to the jobbers of 200 bakeries to close their places of business and lay off their employees at the end of the present week unless some action is taken to relieve the situation by that time. We, as small members request that the refineries be compelled to furnish us with sugar, either direct or through the brokers, inasmuch as they are selling direct to the larger manufacturers with whom we are in competition. Trusting that you will take action giving us the necessary relief, we are" WIFE ATTACKED HIM WITH VARIOUS MISSILES So W. J. Long Testified in His Plea for Divorce. Steps to encourage a more liberal distribution of the beet sugar stocks. "Unless some such relief is secured between now and January 1, when the new cane crop comes in, the candy and chocolate factories, as well as the refineries, will have to close," said Louis Saroni, a local authority on sugar markets. The restrictions placed upon retail sales of sugar are without Federal authority the grocers having decided to place a limit on distribution when they found it next to impossible to get more sugar from the refineries. The Federal prohibition applies to the refineries, they having been allocated definite proportions of the current crop. In their telegram to the Sugar Equalization Board, Saroni and the manufacturers state that the California and Hawaiian Sugar Refinery has practically exhausted its allotment to January 1 and that the remaining allotment of the Western Sugar Refinery is not sufficient to supply the demand. "The beet sugar factories in Southern California are holding their stocks in the expectation of a higher price when the new crop comes in," says Saroni. "If these supplies were released the manufacturers using sugar would not be forced to close their factories. The remedy lies with the Sugar Equalization Board." The price of sugar has remained unchanged, as the government has fixed the base price for this crop at 9 cents and declared that a retail charge of over 11 cents is not justified. The appeal sent to the Sugar Equalization Board, 111 Wall street, New York, directing attention to the stores of beet sugar held from the market is as follows: "The undersigned members of San Francisco appeal herewith to the Sugar Equalization Board for immediate relief and recite that the California and Hawaiian Sugar Refinery is unable to make further deliveries until after January 1. The Union and Alameda beet factories have sold their output for sixty days to eastern points and cannot make local deliveries until after November. The Southern California beet sugar factories have withdrawn from the market leaving the Western refinery either direct or through the brokers, inasmuch as they are selling direct to the larger manufacturers with whom we are in competition. Trusting that you will take action giving us the necessary relief, we are" WIFE ATTACKED HIM WITH VARIOUS MISSILES So W. J. Long Testified in His Plea for Divorce. Testimony that he left his wife seven years ago after she had attempted to attack him with a knife was given before Judge Williams in Department 1 of the superior court by William J. Long, of Anaheim, plaintiff in a divorce action. "She used to keep my revolver under her pillow and I was afraid she would shoot me," Long said in reply to questions put by his counsel, Homer G. Ames, of Anaheim. Long stated on the stand that he was sixty-one years old and that he had been married when twenty-two. The couple, according to the witness, have three children, all of age. Long said that in the summer of 1908 while the couple was living in Los Angeles, he was working in a bakery located a half mile from his home. He received a telephone message, he said, and when he arrived at his residence he found his wife, his daughter, Mrs. Laura J. Walker, and his son-in-law, Robert C. Walker, at the top of the stairs. Mrs. Long, the witness said, was having trouble with Walker. A brick used to keep a door open, figured in the occurrence, according to Long. Mrs. Long, her husband told the court, was attempting to hit Walker with the brick. When Long arrived on the scene, he testified, he struggled with his wife in order to prevent her from striking Walker with the brick. Then, Long stated, Mrs. Long tried to hit him with the missile. In May, 1912, in Los Angeles, Mrs. Long hit Long in the mouth with a bar of soap, he testified. Long stated that following the alleged soap episode Mrs. Long tried to strike him with a dishpan, and still later, when he had taken the dishpan away from her, she started after him with a MODERN The impression was "put war by the indendant upon chases.

The Union and Alameda beet factories have sold their output for sixty days to eastern points and cannot make local deliveries until after November. The Southern California beet sugar factories have withdrawn from the market leaving the Western refinery alone to supply the demand, which is an utter impossibility. "An appeal to Southern California beet factories has been unsuccessful; these factories believing that, as it appears certain that the cane sugar price will materially advance upon arrival of new Cuban crop, they are entitled to receive this higher figure for a portion of their output. If, however, the Equalization Board could see their way clear to recompense the beet people out of the fund in the board's possession, they, in place of holding their sugars for a pro rata monthly distribution, would be willing to market their entire output as fast as produced, thus giving the members the sugars necessary for their immediate requirements and avoiding the necessity of these many industries being closed down for a period of thirty to sixty days. "If you make this suggestion applicable to all beet factories it will encourage free delivery of all sugar in all sections between now and January 1, when new cane crops are available, and will tend to establish the present 9 cent basis for both can and beet sugar. Assuming the total beet crop at 600,00 tons, and assuming one-third as having The Southern California Fair, which will be held at Riverside, October 7 to 11, promises to surpass any of the previous meetings of this association in its seven years of successful experience. Preparations are being made to double the present capacity of hog and cattle pens and some wonderful herds will be shown. Purebred dairy stock in Southern California counties has been increased in the past few months by a number of important shipments from the East and the best specimens of this new stuff will be shown.

But Protion chanced to some ripened The best livestock judges obtainable are being secured to act at this show. In addition, some of the best livestock specialists in the West will be present, and daily demonstrations in breeding and handling will be conducted. It is the intention of the management of this fair to measure up to the educational standard of modern agriculture and livestock exhibits. There are numerous new breeders in Southern California who are eagerly looking for information in better methods of handling breeding and agricultural problems and they will be able to secure this information at the Southern California Fair. A very successful goat show was held at Riverside last year, but the show this fall promises to include more than double the number of entries. The goat buildings will be greatly enlarged and the best equipment possible will be arranged for the comfort of the prize lots. Very liberal prizes have been offered by the association this year for county exhibits, and these offers exclude Riverside County as an exhibitor. Communities from other counties may also compete for the ten very liberal community prizes. This is considered so free and inviting that a number of the counties of the southern part of the State are preparing wonderful exhibits. For this reason the association is very largely increasing its general exhibit quarters. MODERN DEHYDRATION The impression exists that dehydration the ridges between the irrigating spaces had not been reached by the mower and more of it was found along the fences. He was instantly struck with the quality of the seed, and the more he examined it the more he was inclined to declare that it was as fine quality of seed as he had ever encountered, and he has been an expert in agriculture for many years, familiar with it in all the western states, including the inter-mountain country of Idaho and Utah, where the best seed is supposed to come from. The result was his professional advice to the farmers to leave one crop of alfalfa for seed purposes, the proceeds of which will be worth more than two crops of hay, while it releases water used in producing the last alfalfa crop to be used in the development of other late summer crops, thus increasing the acreage that can be farmed. "I have not the slightest doubt but that these desert alfalfa ranches can be made to produce from 600 to 1000 pounds of seed to the acre and seed is worth from 12 to 20 cents a pound. Taking the lowest figures in each case," continued Professor Nelson. "It would return $72 per acre at less cost and for less work than would be required to mature another alfalfa crop. If the seed produces as I believe it will, it might not be impossible to get the returns predicted on my largest figures, namely, $200 per acre. It looks like a gold mine to me and the more I studied the conditions the more I was persuaded that out on those desert ranches it is possible to develop this entirely." MODERN DEHYDRATION The impression exists that dehydration was "put on the map" during the war by the increased production attendant upon heavy government purchases. However, there are many persons in close touch with this old-new industry who contend that just the reverse is true. They point out that the quality of much of the material furnished the army and navy was such as to give the industry a black eye for years to come. Mention dried vegetables to the average doughboy or gob and probably he will turn up his nose and say, "Garbage!" It is unfortunate that this impression exists, for it is possible to dehydrate fruits and vegetables in such a manner that, when soaked in water, they will return almost to their original physical condition, containing all the flavor of the fresh article. "Dehydration" and "drying" are two different processes. "Dried" products are too often "burned"; that is robbed of their ability to return to normal consistency, and consequently of their flavor and food value. Dehydration, in its true meaning, has a great future in California, not only in the preparation of vegetables for the retail market, but also in the curing of fruits now dried in the sun. More and more fruit growers, especially in the prune and peach districts, are installing, either individually or co-operatively, improved dehydrating plants capable of turning out from five to one hundred tons of dried product every twenty-four hours: Proper dehydration means a superior product. The evils of sun-drying, not to mention the possible losses in case of adverse weather., are too well known for further comment. The two great lessons taught by the war (elimination of waste and increased production), if they are not to be forgotten, call for inclusion in liberal community prizes. This is considered so free and inviting that a number of the counties of the southern part of the State are preparing wonderful exhibits. For this reason the association is very largely increasing its general exhibit quarters. "It would return $72 per acre at less cost and for less work than would be required to mature another alfalfa crop. If the seed produces as I believe it will, it might not be impossible to get the returns predicted on my largest figures, namely, $200 per acre. It looks like a gold mine to me and the more I studied the conditions the more I was persuaded that out on those desert ranches it is possible to develop this entirely new and most profitable crop, thus more than doubling the owner's annual return." OLD AUSTRIA PASSES The Austrian republic, representatives of which signed the treaty Wednesday, is very different from the proud Austro-Hungarian empire of 1914. The former provinces of Bohemia and Moravia and a part of the duchy of Teschen now form the republic of Czechoslovakia. The remainder of Teschen and most of Galicia have been incorporated into Poland. The new Ukrainian republic takes certain sections in Eastern Galicia, and the former Austrian crown land of Bukowina. Hungary has separated from Austria along the historic boundary between those portions of the former empire, but has herself lost parts of the province of Transylvania, which have been awarded to Rumania. On the south the provinces of Carinthia, Dalmatia, Carniola, Croatia and Slovakia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as parts of Styria, are formed, in conjunction with Serbia, into the new Jugoslav kingdom. Parts of Tyrol are taken over by Italy, the boundaries of which are also extended so as to include most of the Istrian Peninsula and a strip along the western frontier of the province of Carinthia. All, therefore, that remains of the former empire is what is known as German-Austria, including Upper and Lower Austria and parts of Styria and of Tyrol. Since the close of hostilities there has been a movement afoot by which Austria would be annexed by Germany. But one of the most important clauses of the treaty signed Wednesday this is forbidden. The treaty does not stipulate an PAYING THE INTEREST The United States Government paid out more than $6,000,000 Monday in semi-annual interest to holders of Third Liberty Loan Bonds in the Twelfth Feredal Reserve District. This interest payment added to the two previous interest installments paid on Third Loan Bonds by the Government, gives a total of nearly $18,000,000 earned since May, 1918, by the $287,975,000 invested by 1,402,584 purchasers of bonds of the Third Loan in this Federal Reserve District. "Be sure and clip your coupons and cash them," is the advice broadcasted to holders of the Third Loan Bonds by Robert E. Smith, director of the War Loan Organization of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District. "Coupons uncashed are idle money. It is no trouble to cash your coupons. Just clip the September 15 coupon off and present it at any bank and you will get your money. It is no more trouble than DESERT LAND GOOD FOR ALFALFA SEED Prof. Nelson Says It Can be Produced With Big Profit. Cultivation of alfalfa for the seed and by that means doubling the value of the crop produced by the desert farmers in Apple valley, around Hinkley and at Daggett, indeed, all along the Mojave River valley, is the possibility that looms large as the result of visit of Prof. J. W. Nelson, assistant leader in the work of agricultural extension under the University of California. Professor Nelson and Farm Adviser Shaper have returned from the desert, and they both regard the discovery made by Professor Nelson as one of the most important since desert ranching was undertaken. Little alfalfa seed is sown in Southern California. It has been taken for granted conditions here were not suitable to the production of perfect seed. But Professor Nelson's attention chanced to be attracted toward some ripened seed, where alfalfa on All, therefore, that remains of the former empire is what is known as German-Austria, including Upper and Lower Austria and parts of Styria and Tyrol. Since the close of hostilities there has been a movement afoot by which Austria would be annexed by Germany. But one of the most important clauses of the treaty signed Wednesday this is forbidden. The treaty does not stipulate an exact sum to be paid in indemnities but this amount will be fixed by the reparations commission on or before May, 1921, the commission also being empowered to determine the details of the payments which will extend over a period of thirty years. In addition to paying indemnities, Austria must also replace ton for ton all ships lost by the Allies through the activities of the Austrian navy during the war and physically restore invaded areas. She is also to deliver up to the allied countries works of art and objects of historic value which were carried away by the Austrians during the conflict. Austria's army is reduced to 30,000 men on a purely voluntary basis. The entire Austrian naval fleet is to be handed over to the Allies. Questions relative to the disposition of the city of Flume are not settled in the Austrian treaty, but Austria renounces in favor of the allied and associated powers all her rights and titles over territories formerly belonging to her which, though outside the new frontiers of Austria, have not at present been assigned to any state.

Smith, director of the War Loan Organization of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District. "Coupons uncashed are idle money. It is no trouble to cash your coupons. Just clip the September 15 coupon off and present it at any bank and you will get your money. It is no more trouble than getting change for a bill." If all bondholders in America cash their coupons there will be in circulation nearly $85,000,000 more money than was in circulation before. That is approximately the total amount of interest to be paid out on the Third Loan as a whole today. "Here is a chance for the people to hit high prices a hard blow," said Director Smith. "Every man, woman, and child who owns a Third Loan Bond should cash the coupon and immediately buy Thrift or War Savings Stamps or Treasury Savings Certificates which bear more interest than the bonds. Investment of the Third Loan Bond interest at the bank window immediately upon cashing the coupons will keep that $85,000,000 out of circulation and thus help keep prices down. "I cannot urge too strongly the wisdom of letting the government keep this interest money and, not only that, but continued buying of War Savings Stamps out of every pay envelope. If everyone in the United States would set aside something each week for War Savings Stamps earning them four per cent interest compounded every three months, it would be a very short time until there would be a noticeable drop in prices." You can pay more, but—you can't get more There are several trucks on the market that are sold at considerably higher prices than Republic. Yet we say to you—knowingly and positively that you cannot buy more or better trucking performance by paying this extra price. Republic Trucks are built in the way known to be best by Republic Engineers, who have specialized on trucks and trucking problems. More than 50,000 Republic Trucks in all lines of business and in all parts of the world have proved that no truck can be more efficient, more double proof or more economical operation. The comparatively low first cost of Republics is made possible by scientific quantity production. The low cost of maintenance and the unequaled low price on replacement parts are also important factors that are causing thousands of truck users to standardize on Republic.

J. C. Nava, pastor of the Mexican M. E. church.* Rev. Nava will issue the publication in the hope that it will be of educational value to the many Mexican residents of this vicinity and will help to cement the cordial relations between his people and the Americans. The first issue was published on September 15, at the opening of the Mexican Independence day celebration which was held on September 15-16. This celebration will be bigger and better, it is planned, than any of those previously held here. The first copy of the new paper, "Amor Patrio," will contain on the first page, surrounded by a red and green border, a picture of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, Mexico's George Washington, who proclaimed the liberty of Mexico at 11 p.m. on September 15, 1810. Rev. Naya believes the new paper will help him in his work on behalf of the Mexican population and hopes to have the financial support of Santa Ana business men in his newspaper venture.
