FACING ANOTHER CRISIS In 1920 the American people are to face still another crisis in their history, and they will meet and surmount it as they have those that have gone STANDARD IS WILDCATTING NEAR THE OCEAN FRONT Drilling a Test Well for Oil on Newport Mesa. "Oil" is the principal topic of conversation along the ocean front in Orange county from Seal Beach to Newport Beach, and there is a reason. The Standard Oil Company has already spent considerable money and is preparing to spend a lot more in sinking a test well on the mesa at Huntington Beach. A new rig has been erected by the Interstate Oil Company on the Newport mesa, and the drill will soon be started. So far as can be learned a lease has not yet been closed for the Hellman ranch, adjoining Seal Beach, but two of the big producing companies are each striving to secure such lease. The lease on the Lomita Gun Club property has been recorded. Huntington Beach, where the first test well is to be bored, is but eight miles rfm Seal Beach, station to station on the Pacific Electric, and this fact causes considerable interest in the proposition. Many contend that if oil is found at Huntington Beach it will also be found here. There are many indications of oil in that neighborhood, according to geologists who have made an examination of the ground. It is known that effort has been made by one of the big companies to lease certain lands within the Seal Beach city limits, but no agreement has yet been reached.

WATER Following is the reintendent Wallop subm FACING ANOTHER CRISIS In 1920 the American people are to face still another crisis in their history, and they will meet and surmount it as they have those that have gone before. This time the crisis is precipitated by the activity of elements in our population which hold and teach doctrines that sound strange to the American ear. This crisis is brought about by those who have lost faith in America, who no longer believe in or who do not understand the principles of the Declaration of Independence and of the Constitution of the United States; who would turn their backs upon a republican form of government in order to set up in its place a system of control by a privileged class, with a view to the exploitation of all other groups or classes in the community. Such men frankly proclaim their preference for the political philosophy of a Lenine and a Trotzky to that of a Washington, a Hamilton, a Webster, or a Lincoln. Once let the American people understand this issue and they will rise in their might to overwhelm the enemies of America, as the citizens of Massachusetts, regardless of party preference, sprang to the defence of law and order on November 4 last. The issue is the preservation of the American form of government, with its incomparable blessing of liberty under law, and its fundamental principles of equality of citizenship, equality of opportunity and the right to hold and dispose of one's own just gains. The attack purports to be directed against property, but it is really directed against liberty, for property is but one of the expressions of liberty. No man could be free who had not the right, protected by law, to dispose of his own goods and services as he may choose and to apply his just gains as he will, subject only to the limitation of every other man's right to do the same thing. We are called upon both to explain democracy and d to fight for democracy. We are called will also be found here. There are many indications of oil in that neighborhood, according to geologists who have made an examination of the ground. It is known that effort has been made by one of the big companies to lease certain lands within the Seal Beach city limits, but no agreement has yet been reached. PREPARING SEED BED FOR SWEET POTATOES This is the Season of the Year when Seed Should be Planted. If you desire to join the ever-increasing army of home and farm sweet potato growers, now is the time to prepare that seed bed, unless you depend upon others to grow your plants for you and have them ready for setting out in March or April. It is very little labor to set out sweet potato "seed" and you will find this work interesting and profitable. In most sections of Southern California and Arizona the open bed system is used for propagating the sweet potato plants. In sections where heavy frosts are liable to occur during the winter, cold frames are used. But as a rule, the open frame is recommended. Select a location protected from cold winds, preferably the sunny side of a board fence. The drainage should be away from the bed. Make an excavation five or six inches deep and five to six inches wide, and as long as needed for the quantity of sweet potatoes to be bedded. About two lug boxes of small sweet potatoes of good form are required to propagate a thousand plants. Scatter four inches of sand in the excavation and level the sand carefully. Place the sweet potatoes by hand as near together as possible without touching on this sand bed. After they re bedded, cover the "seed" with sand or light loam to the depth of one inch. Water thoroughly by sprinkling every two or three days until the plants begin to show through the inch of sand. Then add an inch more sand in order to develop a good root system. Some growers cover the bed with straw or hay to protect the surface from drying out too rapidly. A. U.

Notwithstanding that it can be done so profitably that both France and Great Britain have hastily enacted laws prohibiting the melting of their silver coin for exportation, silver dollars will not be so treated by speculators in this country. The reason is because the silver dollars to the extent of nearly 500 millions are, or recently were, salted away in the treasury vaults at Washington, notes being out against them. More than a year ago, under a law passed last year, the treasury began melting the dollars up and selling them as bullion for export abroad, and so a couple of hundred million silver dollars have been melted and exported and have helped to supply the great demand for silver in the world. Carranza's replies to the American diplomatic notes remind one of the line from the old song about Noah's ark: "Says the ant to the elephant, who are you shovin'?" When the plants begin to form leaves, they should be watered each day, unless the grower finds that the top soil is moist for a longer period. Generally, sweet potatoes are set out in March or April, shortly after a rain, when the ground is in the right condition to receive and start them. The plants, as they are pulled from the bed should be placed in crates or baskets and covered with hay, straw or old burlap. In drawing the plants, the seed potato is held down with one hand, while the plants are removed with the thumb and finger of the other hand. If they are to be sold, they are tied in bunches of 100 each with a soft string. Sweet potatoes are planted on ridges in California and other Southwestern States, these ridges being from twenty-eight to thirty-two inches apart. The plants are set from fourteen to eighteen inches apart in the row. Probably the texture of the soil is hand as near together as possible without touching on this sand bed. After they re bedded, cover the "seed" with sand or light loam to the depth of one inch. Water thoroughly by sprinkling every two or three days until the plants begin to show through the inch of sand. Then add an inch more sand in order to develop a good root system. Some growers cover the bed with straw or hay to protect the surface from drying out too rapidly and to protect it from cold early in the season. Some gardeners hasten the maturity of the plants by growing them in hotbeds. Fresh stable manure eight inches deep, is first placed in the pit, and covered to a depth of three or four inches, and the potatoes placed on this bed when the temperature of the bed drops to 80 degrees.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE ELECT DIRECTORS OF NEW HOTEL COMPANY Movement on Foot to Erect a $200,000 Building at Fullerton. If names stand for anything, the Fullerton Hotel Company, whose articles of incorporation were signed Thursday, is off to a flying start. Here is the first board of directors: C. C. Chapman, E. K. Benchley, F. C. Krause, S. W. Smith, R. S. Gregory, G. W. Finch and J. E. Jones. There is no more representative bunch of business men in Fullerton and if anybody can make a success of the new hotel proposition, these men can. The company is organized with a capital stock of $200,000 divided into shares of $100 par value each. A portion of the stock will be placed locally and it is said the remainder will be provided by out-of-town investors. It would be superfluous to say anything about the need of a hotel in Fullerton. Just now and under present conditions, it is one of the most imperative need and all other local improvements and developments can almost be said to be secondary so far as the pressing needs of the community are concerned. It is a fact that visitors to Fullerton at the present time can not even find a place to spend the night and what the town has lost through this situation it is impossible to estimate. A. U. WATER COMPANY Following is the report of Superintendent Wallop submitted to the board AMERICAN LEGION AFTER WORK SLACKERS Men Who Secure Employment Because of Uniform Must Make Good. Eliminating the "work slacker" is the new job which the American Legion has taken upon itself, acting in conjunction with the War Department's chain of employment bureaus throughout the country. This type of ex-service man, while not numerous, is occasionally a serious detriment to the work of placing ex-soldiers and sailors in satisfactory jobs. Their attitude of shiftlessness after getting the place causes dissatisfaction among employers who are really trying to help, and gives a black eye to other service men who still need work. Practically all the posts of the Legion now have employment committees. In some cases these committees have taken over all the task of finding jobs for their fellow service men. In other localities they cooperate with the War Department. In Bridgeport, Conn., where the work slacker has been a serious evil, the Legion keeps a special file of such cases of repeating in jobs. As a rule a heart-to-heart talk from a comrade in arms has been enough. In other cases a refractory man has been denied the services of the employment office altogether. In Detroit the Legion works also with the police. Where an ex-soldier in uniform is taken up for some minor offense, like begging or peddling, a probationary system has petty formalities of dress and precedence. At last William determined to bring the mummery to a speedy close. He had one of his officers get in touch with the French marshal in command in the Netherlands. The marshal got permission from Louis and the two officers met in an orchard near Brussels. They walked up and down together for two hours and in that time did more business than the diplomats at Ryswick had done in as many months. That was then the latter part of June and by the end of July everything was settled, so far as England and France were concerned. The other nations concerned quickly fell into line and peace was concluded almost before the plenipotentiaries intrusted with the treaty had decided where each should sit at the council table. GOLD-LODE MINING IN ALASKA Twenty-five gold-lode mines were operated in Alaska in 1918, according to the U. S. Geological Survey. The value of the lode-gold output decreased from $4,581,453 in 1917 to $3,473,317 in 1918, owing partly to the disaster at the Treadwell mine in April, 1917, and partly to curtailment of operations especially in the Juneau district, because of shortage of labor. Southeastern Alaska, especially the Juneau district, is still the only center of large quartz-mining operations in the Terri- A. U.

Before the war, most of the toys distributed in America by Santa Claus must be said to be secondary so far as the pressing needs of the community are concerned. It is a fact that visitors to Fulierton at the present time can not even find a place to spend the night and what the town has lost through this situation it is impossible to estimate In Detroit the Legion works also with the police. Where an ex-soldier in uniform is taken up for some minor offense, like begging or pedaling, a probationary system has been adopted. Instead of sending these men to jail, the authorities have consented to put them on probation with the American Legion. This practice has had a very salutary effect, and Detroit's problem of putting to work every returned fighting man is no longer so serious. In practically all states, the employment committee of the Legion now makes a canvase of all employers. Wherever jobs are offered returned soldiers, the employers are told that the Legion expects to keep in touch with the men in places, in order to see that they give satisfactory service. If this is not forthcoming, the Legion gives such men short shift. On the other hand, the deserving ex-service man who needs employment, will have his case persisted in until he is placed. Work slackers have to appear before a committee of their comrades. TREATIES OF PEACE ARE LONG DELAYED History Shows Settlements Always Drag Over Many Months. When the armistice was signed more than a year ago there was a few joy killers who tried to take the edge off the celebration by saying: "Ah! but do not celebrate too soon. This is only the armistice, and peace itself will not come until the treaty is signed, which may not be until next April." April, indeed! We laughed as we had laughed at those who, in August, 1914, had prophesied that the war would last three years. And we think today our patience has been tried beyond all limits and we have been kept waiting beyond all precedent for real peace. But we haven't. HERMAN P.

Before the war, most of the toys distributed in America by Santa Claus came from Germany. Last year and the year before very few German toys were sold in America. In fact there were few toys at all, because the American toy makers had not yet "gotten their hands in." This season, however, Yankee ingenuity has come to the rescue and there are not only more toys on the market but there are better toys. There are more mechanical devices that are not only amusing, but instructive, outfits for constructing vehicles, mechanical birds and the like. These American toys are all made along more substantial lines than herefore. The late unpleasantness with Germany has been the avenue for the development of an industry that is practically new in America and it is quite likely that these new toy ideas and the superior construction of them will open up a market abroad that will in future years add materially to American trade. most important for sweet potatoes, a sandy or even a gravelly loam being superior. But the black silt loams will also grow good sweet potatoes if well drained. Excessive amounts of decaying organic matter in the soil, or excess moisture, cause the sweet potato to make tremendous vine growth without corresponding tuber production. April, indeed! We laughed as we had laughed at those who, in August, 1914, had prophesied that the war would last three years. And we think today our patience has been tried beyond all limits and we have been kept waiting beyond all precedent for real peace. But we haven’t. The treaty of Utrecht, for instance, which ended the long series of "Queen Anne" wars, was signed in April, 1713, at the conclusion of a conference which convened in January, 1712. In the Napoleonic wars a preliminary treaty was signed in May, 1814, and a congress to rearrange the map of Europe and make a final settlement was in session at Vienna from September until June, 1815. In the American Revolution almost two years elapsed between the surrender of Cornwallis, which virtually ended the fighting, and the signing of the peace treaty in Paris. Cornwallis surrendered October 19, 1778. The army was finally demobilized in October, 1783. But the treaty negotiations that hold the record for wearisome dawdling and red tape were those between Louis XIV of France and the Grand Alliance in 1697 at Ryswick, Holland. So tiresome did the proceedings become indeed that King Louis and King William III of England, the chief parties to the conference, took matters into their own hands, cast to the winds all established notions of diplomatic etiquette and forced a conclusion. Months had been devoted to a dispute about the place where the conference should be held. Then other months were wasted on PAGE THRB tory. Next in importance is the Willow Creek lode district. The production in the Fairbanks district decreased materially, as the lode-mine owners of Fairbanks are still awaiting the cheapening of operating costs, especially of fuel, which is expected on completion of the government railroad. In 1918 the average value of the gold and silver contents for all siliceous ores mined was $1.70 a ton; the average for 1917 was $1.37 a ton. These averages reflect the dominance in the total lode production of the large tonnage produced from the low-grade ores of the Juneau district.
