Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY 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 OFFICIAL CITY PAPER LET US KILL THE BILL We are in receipt of voluminous documents favoring the adoption of what is known as the water and power act, an initiative measure to be voted on by the people at the coming election. For some time past our mail has been burdened with this specious propaganda, and it seems to us that its advocates are going to the expenditure of no little amount of money to place its provisions adequately before the people. But these communications do not tell the voters what they have a right to know concerning it. The bill is nothing more or less than an attempt to bond the state in the colossal sum of $500,000,000, and it seems to be sponsored by the Sprinkels interests of San Francisco. On another page of this issue will be found a splendid reason for defeating this bill. We hope the voters of Orange county will stand unanimously against this measure. We read in this propaganda that water and power "trusts" throughout the state are seeking the defeat of the act, but we believe the people and the taxpayers are a unit in opposition to it. Let us kill this bill. We understand the measure was prepared in Mr. Spreckels' office at a meeting composed. She Knows "I am a Domestic Science Graduate and a chemical student from Normal School.

DRIVE TO AID VETERANS RESULTS IN NEW CLAIMS Administration's Pledge to Care for all Disabled Soldiers Being Redeemed.

More than 175,000 or service men of disability, will in the future thousands of casual treatment patients their disabled and save the cost of futility.

IN FARM PRODUCTS VALU California, now ranking fifth in the gross value of its farm products, with production of $770,544,880, may be expected to give the four leading state a hard race for first division honors according to the Orange county farm bureau executives. Of the total gross value of farm products raised in the United States amounting to $21,425,623,614, only four states surpassed California, according to a statement issued by the department of commerce. These states and their production figures were: Iowa, $1,447,938,473; Texas, $1,39,471,705; Illinois, $1,298,906,947; and Wisconsin, $780,616,288. "There is good reason to feel that California, and particularly southern California, will show some decided gains in the gross value of its farm products this year," said R. D. Flaherty, secretary-manager of the Orange county farm bureau. "Agricultural commodities in February took a big jump in price of ten points, according to the records of the United States bureau of labor statistics. They now register 26 per cent above the 1913 prices. The food list shows an increase of four points over January." "A report compiled by E. E. Kaufman, agricultural statistician, indicates that crop prospects are very encouraging. Grain farmers are especially optimistic over the outlook. "'Extensive planting of vines and trees continues to be the rule all over the state,'' this report shows. 'It is difficult to form an estimate this early, but indications are that the acreage planted this year will be fully as large as that of last year. The inability to prepare the land for earlier crops will no doubt result in a large acreage of late crops, such as beans, etc. Cotton is now being planted in Imperial valu..." Grain farmers are especially optimistic over the outlook. "Extensive planting of vines and trees continues to be the rule all over the state," this report shows. "It is difficult to form an estimate this early, but indications are that the acreage planted this year will be fully as large as that of last year. The inability to prepare the land for earlier crops will no doubt result in a large acreage of late crops, such as beans, etc. Cotton is now being planted in Imperial valley and the condition of vegetables is reported good." "Of all crops, grain is showing the best condition and has the most favorable prospect for an excellent yield. Virtually all the counties in the state report the crops as improving. "In the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, which produce about seventy per cent of the wheat and barley of the state, prospects are especially fine. Fall sown and summer fallow grains are making a better showing than the late winter sown grains. More showers and warmer weather are needed to insure a normal growth. No frost damage to the grains is reported. "Owing to the improved condition of past two weeks, livestock is steadily taking on weight. The severe winter, shortage of feed and the slow growth of grass early in the season resulted in livestock coming through the winter in very poor condition. In the mountain districts practically all the hay surplus has been consumed owing to the cold weather, low snow and lateness of the season, but grass is springing up now in all districts and conditions are generally good. It is expected that fat cattle for market will be about two weeks later than usual." ANAHEIM GAZETTE To the Citizens of Anaheim— These are days when it is important to strengthen and extend every movement that safeguards Americanism. The business judgment of the country is that the Young Men's Christian Association is one of the most effective agencies for the betterment of good citizenship. The Community Y. M. C. A. work of Anaheim is a service concern endeavoring to meet certain important needs in the lives of our boys and young men, with the Y. M. C. A. athletic field, club house and plunge as a center. Forty-five hundred dollars is required for this year. The amount sought is a reasonable request in view of the good to be accomplished. This fund is for building better manhood—the most vital and basic appeal. By contributing on a three-year basis, a growing program commensurate with the needs and growth of Anaheim is assured. The direction of the program will be in the hands of a local Board of Directors, associated with the general County Committee, and an associate County Secretary living in the community. We invite your consideration and co-operation in this great character-building investment. What the Y.M.C.A. Program Will Do 1. Secure an Associate County Secretary who will reside in Anaheim and supply Christian leadership for boys and young men. 2. Repair and develop the $7500 property, consisting of playground, club house and swimming pool, now owned by the Y. M. C. A. of Anaheim on South Philadelphia Street, and make it a center from which to work out a community program. 3. Promote a definite four-fold Christian character building program with groups of boys in church, gang and school groupings. 4. That the schedule of days at the club house shall be so arranged as to make possible its use for the girls and women on certain days and special periods for business men. In addition to the group organizations and program, Community Boys' Work, with adequate supervision, can promote many other activities.

Hirst, state highway engineer of Wisconsin, says: "Heaven knows there are enough avenues of publicity open to those who wish to sell their goods without making our rural landscapes a futuristic nightmare." The state and counties, by legislation, can keep advertising signs off the highway rights of way, but only public opinion, probably, can stop the desecration of the landscape. If an outraged public would boycott advertisers who persist in disfiguring nature with commercial appeals, the practice would soon cease. Protection of natural beauty should be inculcated at schools so the next generation will be possessed of an esthetic sense that will refuse to countenance such practices. Probation under suspension of judgment for a period of five years was granted by Superior Judge Z. B. West to Arthur Foster, convicted of second degree burglary at Anaheim. Foster had been found, locked in the offices of Dr. Lawrie. A quantity of gold, said to have been taken from the dentist's laboratory, was found in his pocket. Foster maintained that he had gone to the office with a man whom he believed to be the dentist in charge and who was to fill a tooth for Foster, he said. Foster claimed that he became intoxicated and was left asleep in the office by the other man, who, he charged "planted" 'the gold in Foster's pockets to direct suspicion to him. The "dangerous age" for men is from one day to 95 years. At twenty a girl looks for her ideal man; at thirty for any real man.

If $4500 is received by the Treasurer of the Y. M. C. A. this year, the Community Boys' Program with the Y. M. C. A. equipment as a center, can be promoted and some repairs made to the building. If the amount received can exceed $5000 much needed work can be done on the building and if subscribed on the three-year basis will allow for unavoidable depreciation and the expansion of the program. $430 Economical Haulage F.O.B.
