AUTO OWNERS ARE
URGED TO HELP

Every automobile owner is urged
TO participate i'm the Fourth of July
parade, regardless of whether the car
is decorated Fire Chief Folsom said
yesterday.
"A Hearst t-Selig representative was
here during the time of the quake
filming scenes of the damaged build
ings, and he has promised to return
to take pictures of the celebration.
We want to make the spectacle as inn
posing as possible, as a contrast to
the scenes attendant ON the quake,
and every car owner, even though
his ear is undecorated, is urged to
participate and swell the parade.
"Fifty business establishments have
promised to enter floats of various
kinds and / want to get as many in
dividuals as possible to enter their
cars.
a slight expenditure for bunting
will transform a car into a decorated
entry. But, irrespective of decora-
tions, the firemen are anxious to make
the parade a success and everyone who
has car is urged to take part"

sured supply of bread for the soldiers
and so it conserved the wheat supply
against the next harvest. Experience
has shown that under present condi-
tons one wheat harvesting will last
until the next, so that there is no
longer the least danger of inadequate
supply.
A great many persons have asked
me how a nation like Germany, with
a colossal and hourly mounting debt
with no foreign commerce and little
business outside of war, can finance
herself and these enormous opera
tons, costing between S700e,00e and
S8,000,000 a day.
We used to think that there would
be 10 more wars because the cost
would be prohibitive; the financiers
would never lend the money to carry
them on. Behold one more deception
gone glimmering. The financiers
have nothing to do with it. Germany
finances her war on paper money
passing absolutely at par, backed by
all the credit of all the empire, ali
its resources and all its people, and
as good as gold. So far as anyone
can see now, she can continue to
finance her war IN the same way
indefinitely.
She is piling up an almost incon-
ceivable debt, but so is everybody else
in this insane conflict, and she has in

TALK
OF COURTHOUSE

Authorizing District Attorney
Nichols to draw up a resolution Of
intention calling for bond election
for the purpose of building a court
house, a Jail and constructing bridges,
the amounts to be expended to be
left blank, was the sum total of of
ficial action taken by the county su-
rervisors today ON the courthouse pro-
posal. The resolution of intention will
be presented at the meeting of the
board Tuesday.
The amount for which the bonds
will be necessary to construct a court
house and division of the court
house and bridge bonds into Two pro-
posals to be voted on, botn p4oved to
be points of contention upon which the
board could not agree.
The seemingly ill-fated piece OF
legislation to provide a $4,000 poor
house for the county was dragged
from the archives of the past and for
a time discussion centered about that
proposal.
The board as a whole was unable
to effect satisfactory settlement.
One faction maintained the advisa-
bility of embodying both the court
house and Jail bond issue with that of
the bridges, which met with immedi-
ate disapproval from yet another CON
tingent.
That faction favored two bond is.
sues, one for the erection of the court
house and Jail and the other for the
construction Of bridges.
There was no intimation Of where
the new courthouse would be built.
The sentiment of the board appeared
to be to totally ignore that phase of
the question at this time.
The amount for which the bonds
should be issued also came in for
its share Of discussion. There ap
peared to be an almost unanimous
agreement in regard to the amount
to be used in the construction of the
bridges, but in regard to the pro-
posed courthouse there was no such
sentiment.
1t was contended that the proposal
should be disposed of at once. 1t was
further pointed out that some two
years ago a movement was agitated
for the construction of new jail
A discussion was postponed from time
to time, with the result that the Jail
has never been built.
Whereupon there ensued more Of
the discussion on the various points
of contention and the meeting was
adjourned until Tuesday, when the
resolution prepared by District AT
torney Nichols will be considered.

GERMANY ISN'T
STARVING

(By Charles Edward RuSSelD
Noted Newspaper Editor and Econ
omist, who has just returned from
the War Zone.)
Germany isn't being starved.
A great many persons In the Unit
ed States and elsewhere think she is,
but that is merely one of the prize
hallucinations about the war. SO far
as starving is concerned, we can with
hold the ready tear. Germany isn't
being starved, and can't be.
The food that before the war Ger
many was in the habit of importing
wasn't imported of sheer necessity,
but for convenience and profits.
Germany can feed herself. If you
could cut off every pound of food
supplies from abroad you could not
starve Germany-so long as the Ger
man farm was on the job. 1t grows
everything necessary to sustain the
German people. What it doesn't grow
they can get along without.
This year the produce of the Ger
man farm will probably exceed all
records. 1t was supposed by some
persons, mostly of the type of the
over-sanguine and ill-informed Briton,
that so many men had gone to the
war that Germany would be unable
this year to plant her crops; or, if
partly planted, there would be nobody
to harvest them. That was another
dream.
All the women were left at home; /;
also the boys and the old men. In
ordinary times these did about four
fifths of the farm work, so what was
the difference? Also the dreaming
ones forgot the prisoners of war.
What was lacking otherwise when
seed time came around these handily
supplied.
The result is an increased acreage,
and Germany never looked so bloom
ing. People have turned their door
yards and waste spaces into vegetable
gardens. Everybody who has any
land is growing something to eat
potatoes, cabbages or carrots.
The grain harvest, of course, is an
other matter. The labor usually i'm
ported from Russia will be missed
a little when that time comes, but
there are more than a million prison
ers of war in Germany and they will!
get in the harvest.
The cost of food has risen, that is
true, about 55 per cent; but it will not
rise any more. The government has
attended to that. 1t has taken over
control of the staple supplies and
blocked the spectators.
Early in the winter the government
issued an order that all bread must
contain a certain percentage of pota-
to flour, and this was taken elsewhere
to mean shortage of wheat and a
sign of impending famine. AS a mat
ter of fact, the government was only
playing safety for the army. 1t was
determined that it should have an as
