The Arcadia Journal operates as a weekly newspaper published every Saturday and entered at the Arcadia California post office as second class matter.
An editorial urges strong support for the Fourth Liberty Loan to counter Kaiser Wilhelm’s peace offensive. It argues American troops are abroad and must be paid for, calling on readers to buy or buy more Liberty Bonds to ensure total victory and fund Allied efforts.
The piece argues Wilson's terms render any German armistice futile. It predicts Germany cannot mount a lasting comeback, citing loss of Turkey, shifts in Austria-Hungary, and threatened submarine bases, urging continued pressure toward unconditional surrender.
A man plans a four hour duck hunt in marsh mud and cold water. He will endure shivering and tobacco, hoping for birds like mallards and spoonbills. The outing costs about nine dollars with four dollars of meat expected, described as worthwhile relaxation.
An editorial warns voters against the Single Tax proposal, arguing it would destroy land values, force landowners to raise about 100 million dollars annually, exempt corporations, and grant utilities a free franchise. The piece urges citizens to vote to kill the amendment this fall.
The piece mocks German general Ludendorff blasting Russians as childlike and boasts that one Yank can defeat multiple Teuts. It ridicules German plans with biting sarcasm and urges action to crush the Yankee race despite past defeats.
The piece sets a patriotic wartime tone praising meatless and wheatless days to aid the Allies. It notes sugar production needs, urges farmers to grow beets, and hopes for increased sugar output next season as several factories idle due to shortages.
Communities crack down as vandals shoot up Automobile Club of Southern California signs. Several valley cities approve anti vandalism measures and the Auto Club offers a $10 reward for information leading to arrests. The influenza scare prompts school and theater closures and even Sunday worship changes. Roosevelt appears as a colorful aside in the era’s headlines.
The Los Angeles Herald notes the generous support for soldiers in training camps. Hotels near Camp Kearny Camp Fremont and American Lake offer special rates and free entertainment to boost morale. The piece warns against exploiting servicemen and argues that aiding them is good business and public virtue.
A broad public board of war chatter touches ration constraints for aid to soldiers in France with caps of 3 by 4 by 9 inches. The piece mocks frivolous gifts, notes rising food prices, teases Kaiser hints, and urges continued bond buying despite weather and shortages.
Arcadia, a six square mile city of 1500 residents incorporated in 1903, reports abundant natural drainage, granite soil, and a mild climate due to Santa Anita canyon air currents. It hosts a free public library, two grammar schools, a weekly newspaper, a large packing house, and rail connections, with utilities and a new city hall under construction.
