Molme-Uraversal Tractor THK WAR t'KNSlS June 5 is war census day in the 1'nlted States. The press hns been enlisted dur ing the past month In a rampatKti that has reached every part ot the country, in Its effort to educate the people to the importance of this move. The good moral effect of this move is already apparent. The men who are entitled to ex emption will no douht be granted It by the war department, but those who are best able to represent the country in this time of need will he obliged to carry the burden. The one Important thing to re member is that the census applies to every man within the limit, 21 to 30, and that the mutter of exemp tions wll be considered later. n a KN'KI.I. OP THK f-IMUT Edison. Maxim and Marconi each are working on appliances that would without the assistance of the other two great men, spell the knell for the u-boats. Mr. Edison hns said nothing hut has been working almost night and day which Is the best reason to be lieve that his labors wilt result In an electrical appliance of some sort that will put the menace to civiliza tion off the seas. The inventor of flrenrrus has been less secretive about his work, and has announced that his invention will make the explosion of a tor pedo powerless. It will be easily and cheaply ap plied to any vessel In a few months, and no douht will be used by our government. The inventor of the wireless hag already put his Invention to work with the result that a small flock of submarines are at rest among the wreckage of their victims in the Mediterranean, that were afloat and fighting ten days ago. No doubt this Invention, whatever it is, will be in use on the west coast soon. A new chapter is to be written into the history of the world soon, and these Inventors will be given prominent mention therein for the reason that defeat of the allied na tions was possible with the sea full of submarines. Now the crushing of kaiserism is but a matter of a short time, and is absolutely assured. A regiment of men for Immediate service, in France will be organized by the Forest Service nndcr the di rection of the War Department. This regiment is planned to assist in for est work in France, and will also conduct logging and milling opera tions. Portable mills probably will be used -as they can be quickly taken from place to place as need develops or as supply of logs re quires. The regiment will be com prised of foresters, logging engin eers, experienced woodsmen, loggers and men of similar experience and training. This body of men will form a unit of the Engineers' Corps of which the railroad workers are a part.

Before a jolly big audience in a tent at the corner of N and Mariposa Streets last night, the Old Virginia Minstrelmen showed to a more than well pleased crowd. All through the show was sprinkled bits of vaudeville sketches and in connection with the show proper was a big success. Hi Henry in a fire-eating sketch captur ed the applause of the evening, al though he was given a close race by the ragtime singers and dancers. The performers are all negroes, coming from the land of cotton. The show was one big long laugh from start to finish and the minstrel men in "coon songs" and cakewalks made a big hit. The women members of the troupe took part in many of the dances and carried off several of the capers of the darkies down South. The appearance of the show in Fresno last night was the initial per formance n this city. The Old Virginia Minstrelmen travel in two private cars and under the management of C. L. Erickson. The company consists of forty people.

Mr. Hedlund is at present running a ditch which is six miles long to conduct water from Crooked River so that his land can be irri gated. This ditch crosses under the river twice using the siphon method. It took two carloads of wood stave pipe to do this. He also has about two thousand feet of flume, and a mile and a half of side hill rock work. The ditch was started last year and can be completed within thirty days. It will be In use this year. It will irrigate about one hundred and fifty acres at a cost of about forty dollars per acre. This will give him an independent system with plenty of water. He also has an orchard ot about two hundred living apple trees, It is the first large orchard planted in that section of the country, the trees having been purchased from tho Lafollette nursery. They art: doing well and rank with any high grade nursery stock. A pure bred Hereford sire was a recent addition to his herd. This was purchased from the S. 8. Stearns ranch.
