USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. SIX PAGES Now and Then By The Editor THE BIG SHOW; LOCAL PRIDE. Two weeks from today Anaheim will be all dressed up and ready to entertain 100,000 visitors to the Valencia Orange show, which will be officially opened by President Harding over long distance telephone. The work of preparing for this great occasion whereby Anaheim will come into national prominence again has been most difficult. Obstacles unforeseen have been injected in the way of the directors of the show, but the directors have overcome them all. It is clear sailing now. Exhibits of Valencia oranges will be on display and visitors will see what makes Anaheim such a wonderful city. There will be entertainment for young and old, as well as nearly young and nearly old. There will be a baby show, too, for babies in Anaheim are all beautiful and there are a lot of them. Let no one say, after the show is ended, "I did not attend." The show is not going to be a funeral; it is going to be the means of making the nation know why thousands are heading for Anaheim to make their homes. THE SLACKER LIST; WHEELS OF JUSTICE.

It is announced by the war department that the names and addresses of slackers will be published this week. Publication of the names, it is promised by an executive of the American Legion, will cause surprise in many sections. Prosecution of all slackers will follow publication of the lists. This action on the part of the government will in a measure bring satisfaction to many who have given a son or a husband or a brother to the nation. It will tend also to make known that wealth and "pull" have their drawbacks or "kick-backs." Now if the government will also prosecute war profiteers and those who evaded paying excess profits by padding their expense accounts, the job will be looked upon with satisfaction by all who did their full duty, those who were and are one hundred per cent patriots. THE BIG FIGHT; THE BIG PURSE. Early in July fight fans will spend half a million dollars to see Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier try to pound the stuffing out of each other. Opinions as to who will have the most stuffing left when the battle ends seem to be a shade in favor of Dempsey. Experts say Dempsey is a hard hitter, and there is no doubt about that. Others say Carpentier has a better head and is a better boxer, besides being a hard hitter, too. John L. Sullivan, the greatest of them all, was a hard hitter, yet James J. Corbett, the world's best boxer, defeated old John L. and won the title. He worried old John and finally landed where John didn't expect a visit or Jim's fist, and the lig was up with John. Then came Bob Fitzsimmons who had science and a punch too, and he put Corbett in the discard. Then came Jeffries, a giant, who put Fitz Packing houses, where Orange county's oranges are prepared for shipment to the nation's markets and the crop that brings thousands of dollars to the Orange county growers is handled, are now working full forces. Three more packing houses within the district of the Orange County Fruit exchange started operations packing oranges yesterday, making five plants that are now engaged in packing. The houses starting work were those of the Villa Park Orchards association at Villa Park, the McPherson and the Orange Growers association at Garden Grove. It is expected the Tustin Hills Citrus association will begin operations the latter part of this week. One thousand boxes of Orange county valencias were shipped by water for New York last Friday, the Villa Park house and the Santiago Orange Growers' association supplying 500 boxes each. It is expected the fruit will be landed in New York within eighteen days. The shipment was under ventilation and it is anticipated that the fruit will arrive at its destination in good condition. The valencias are going upon a navel market, but the outlook for prices and demand is very encouraging, according to statements of men who make it a business to follow the market situation. They average around what valencias were bringing in the pre-war times and would be satisfying to growers were it possible to produce valencias at the cost prices of those days. "The orange market is active," declared a fruit exchange man. "The valencia crop in this county is big, the fruit is of fair size and the quality superior to that of recent years. We are hoping for fair returns for this year's crop. Prices of today would return good profits under picking and packing costs and freight and refrigeration rates of five or six years ago, but are not sufficient to show a fair profit under today's cost of production and transportation. The new trees coming into bearing are producing the finest quality of fruit." GOLDEN STATE HAS ELECTRIC SIGN ON PRESIDENT GETTING SPEND Informs Member Family They Down Ex GIVES OUT WASHINGTON, M. Harding today notifft of his cabinet that their expenditures wi appropriated by congress partments.

The president's lett "I am in receipt from Chairman W senate committee tions calling my at fact that estimates gross approximatel deficiency appropris John L. Sullivan, the greatest of them all, was a hard hitter, yet James J. Corbett, the world's best boxer, defeated old John L. and won the title. He worried old John and finally landed where John didn't expect a visit of him's fish; and the lig was up with John. Then came Bob Fitzimmons who had science and a punch too, and he put Corbett in the discard. Then came Jeffries, a giant, who put Fitz out. Then the big, black, giant Johnson caught Jeffries napping. We next find Jess Willard in Cuba killing Johnson. He won the fight, but how and why, still remains a question for debate. Willard did not fight a real scrapper during the time he held the title, until Dempsey came along with his wallop. Willard did not fight Dempsey, he merely stood some punishment for a few minutes and quit. Dempsey has done little fighting since winning the championship. His hardest fight was with Brennan, who it is said, showed Dempsey up not as a world beater but as a hard hitter only. Now comes the old John L. Sullivan-James J. Corbett case again, Dempsey with the punch and no head, and Carpentier with the head and some punch. It seems, according to experts, that the coming battle will be strength against science, with a considerable amount of kick behind the science. Carpentier's war experience may have worked against his chances for the championship. Dempsey didn't have any war experience. For that reason American sentiment will probably be with the Frenchman who wasn't afraid to fight in a war. We understand former Emperor Charles says the next time he goes to Hungary he will stay. Perhaps some of his enemies feel the same way. GOLDEN STATE HAS ELECTRIC SIGN ON TOP OF BUILDING One of the progressive moves of the Golden State National bank, not including its very interesting display window on Center street is the installation today of a large electric sign on the top of the building. The sign will bear the name "Golden State National Bank" and 300 lights in orange and yellow colors will outline the name of the bank. The sign will be in use from dark until midnight each night. FUNERAL IS HELD FOR MISS SCRIPPS LONDON, May 3.—The funeral services of Miss Virginia Scripps of San Diego, Cal., were held this afternoon at St. George's in Hanover Square. The Rev. Thicknesse, rector of St. George's, officiated. Several relatives and personal friends were present. Final services will be held at Rushville, Ill., after the remains are taken to America. Miss Scripps died in London last week, having been taken ill at Cairo, Egypt, while on a trip around the world, starting from California. "Most present day magazine jokes are puerile," says a writer. Doesn't he mean senile? HEIM DAILY HER K PAGES ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, TUESDAY, MAY 3, 1921 STRICKLAND WINS IN ANAHEIM MAN NOW HEAD OF WALNUT GROWERS' ASS'N With each of the five members of the board of directors and J. E. Gowen and Clarence White working for members, predictions were made that the Orange County Walnut Growers' association would ship double the number of walnuts shipped by it last year, the first year of its organization. The shipment was thirteen cars. The prediction was made by an officer, following adjournment of the growers' meeting yesterday for the purpose of electing a board of directors and discussing plans for future activity. Four hundred acres are now signed up by members of the association. The board and officers elected were as follows: E. E. Knipe, Anaheim, president; Henry Rohrs, Jr., Santa Ana, vice-president; E. T. Watson, Anaheim, secretary; Mrs. L. C. Konsa, Los Angeles, and Henry Schmitgen, Orange. CHAUTAUQUA WILL COME SATURDAY Plans Made by Local Committee to Carry on Big Show as Planned SHOW FOR SEVEN DAYS Anaheim is to have the Chautauqua after all.

TRIES TO RESTRAIN TRUSTEES FROM LEASING LAND Holding that the trustees of the Huntington Beach union high school have no authority to lease the high school site to oil companies, W. L. McKenney, a taxpayer of the beach city, has filed suit against the school district and its board of trustees to restrain them from leasing the school site or any portion thereof. According to the complaint on file in the county clerk's office, the high school site comprises ten acres. McKenny asserts that a meeting of the trustees of the school district was held March 10 and that by a two-thirds vote they decided to lease a portion of the school site, then advertised for bids. McKenny further alleges that negotiations now are under way for the leasing of the school site to the Petroleum Midway Company, Ltd., the lease to extend for a period of 99 years. The complaint recites that all of the acre tract is necessary for school purposes and that the attendance of the PRESIDENT IS GETTING AT SPENDERS Informs Members of Official Family They Must Hold Down Expenses GIVES OUT FIGURES WASHINGTON, May 3.—President Harding today notified all members of his cabinet that they must keep their expenditures within the amount appropriated by congress for their departments. In a letter sent to each secretary, Harding deplored the "dangerous tendency" of government departments to exceed the amounts congress had allowed them and then put in requests for more money. The letter was written by the president following a letter he had received from Senator Warren, Wyoming, chairman of the senate appropriations committee, calling attention to the fact that requests for extra appropriations now before congress totalled $216,000,000. The president's letter follows: "I am in receipt of a letter from Chairman Warren of the senate committee on appropriations calling my attention to the fact that estimates before congress approximately $216,000,000 deficiency appropriations and the Anaheim is to have the Chautauqua after all. This was decided today when a committee of citizens met with Ellis Purlee, representative of the Ellison-White company and perused plans whereby the program will be carried out as originally planned.

C. Reinert, M. Lichtenstein, J. J. Snyder, C. E. Jones, W. M. Chambers and A. R. Hargarve, all of whom agreed to do their best to make the Chautauqua a success. Tickets will be on sale at the Henderson Reality Company offices and the men mentioned above will also have tickets and take orders. The price of the season ticket is $2.72 for adults, $1.50 for students and $1 for children. There is no war tax to pay, inasmuch as the Chautauqua is operated on a non-profit basis. The tent will be erected on the lot opposite the fire station, on Center and Emily streets. The program for Anaheim as announced by Mr. Purlee will be as follows: May 7 Evening—Opening exercises and announcements. Scientific lecture-entertainment,"The Magic of Electricity," Burnell Ford.

May 10 Morning—Lecture director CITIZENS TO VOTE ON BUYING BEACH FRONT PROPERTY Citizens of Huntington Beach will soon be given the opportunity to decide whether they will become the owners of the ocean front now owned and controlled by the Huntington Beach company. May 31 has been named as the date of an election which will decide the question of bond appropriation for the purchase of the tract of land, and the erection of new buildings. An issue of $150,000 will be asked, the sum, if voted, to be divided as follows: Fifty thousand dollars for the land, this being the price placed on it by the present owners, $75,000 for the pavilion to be erected and $25,000 to cover the cost of the proposed new Orange county fair building, which will be situated about five blocks from the ocean front. The Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce, with W. R. Clapp, president, and James F. Rogan, secretary, is backing the movement, which has been discussed at various times for the past two years. The concensus of opinion among the residents seems to be in favor of the bond issue, although it is a little early for very much interest or ex FRIENDSHIP WAS SUBJECT OF TALK KIWANIANS TODAY Kiwanias lunched at the Anaheim union high school today in their regular weekly session. Frank Eisenhauser of the Anaheim Pharmacy was chairman of the day, and Dr. W. V. Fallis furnished the attendance prize. The speaker was J. A. Stevenson of Santa Ana, whose subject was "Friendship." Mr. Stevenson's speech was unusually interesting. He defined friendship from every point of view and demonstrated how it is easy to prove friendship. His address was one of the best ever delivered before the Anaheim Kiwanis club. May 9 Morning—"Better Home Conference," Hunt Cook.
