Don’t Miss The V USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. SIX PAGES Now and Then By The Editor LEAD KINDLY LIGHT; IN THE GREAT VALLEY. Men are grown up boys ever. Women are women from the time they begin to play with dolls, for in mothering the little piece of clay and saw-dust or even the common, every-day rag doll, little girls display interest in the crowning event of the life of every woman. Men are always boys, for they play to the gallery of the world from early boyhood to the time they start on the long, long trail. When boys are boys, they want to act like men and when they are men, they very often act like boys. When a man becomes ill, and a surgeon’s knife seems to be the only course for relief, he at once becomes a hero, for is he not approaching the Valley of the Shadow? He believes he is as much a hero as the boys who faced death over in France in the trenches. But he isn’t. He is just kidding himself—no one else. Reading the narrative written by men and when they are men, they very often act like boys. When a man becomes ill, and a surgeon's knife seems to be the only course for relief, he at once becomes a hero, for is he not approaching the Valley or the Shadow? He believes he is as much a hero as the boys who faced death over in France in the trenches. But he isn't. He is just kidding himself—no one else. Reading the narrative written by the late Franklin K. Lane, who wrote to a friend a few days ago telling of an operation upon him by a noted surgeon, Mr. Lane displayed the fact that to him, the operation was his life's greatest adventure. Giving Mr. Lane full credit for that thought, we cannot refrain from referring to the millions of mothers in the world who go as far toward the gates of Eternity to give the world material to carry on as the bravest man who ever lived. We are far advanced in many respects, but reflection will show that it is not so long ago that we pulled our shirts on over our heads and took them off the same way, until some thoughtful person invented the shirt that we put on and take off as a coat. It may be that in another generation we will turn our attention in the direction of the greatest of the great among us, the mothers, and devise ways and means for safeguarding and honoring the sacred plant that made us all possible. PRICES DROPPING; WAGES FOLLOWING. Prices on commodities during the war went up like a rocket and since the war, they have been coming gradually, but surely, down. A review on 96 of the principal commodities by Bradstreets, shows the following average relative to pre-war and present price levels: December, 1913 ... $9.22 February, 1920 ... $20.00 March, 1921 ... $11.86 The drop during the past ten months has been at a rate that, if continued, will bring basic prices (or raw materials) down to the 1913 level by June 1, 1921. White collars again sell at two for a quarter nearly everywhere. Sugar is down where we can handle it without making a face. Butter and eggs taste good again. Lumber is being used extensively again. Copper and lead are below pre-war prices. MODERATOR DEPILORES IGNORANCE OF CHILDREN TEACHINGS OF THE BIBLE; Dr. Bowlby Sunday Will Come Same as PRECHURCH BATTLEFIELD IS CHRISTIAN LAKE. Ind., May 19. A concerted drive for Sunday Blue Laws and a move to cheek wide open Sabbath agitation was started here today. Church members of all creeds and faiths were asked to fight "the million dollar propaganda against our Christian Sabbath," and to urge civil authorities to prohibit Sunday amusements. The Blue Law question was thrown before the Presbyterian general assembly when session opened here today. "The battleground of the churches is on the field of the Christian Sabbath," the Christian Sabbath committee stated in a report to the conference. Presbyterians, together with Baptists, Methodists and other denominations, formed the Lord's Day alliance, which was organized for the promotion of the so-called "Blue Sundays." Dr. H. L. Bowlby of Newark, N.J., who is secretary of the Lord's Day alliance is also head of the Presbyterian committee on Sabbath observance and wrote the report which was returned to the assembly today. "One of the outstanding features of the campaign," said Dr. Bowlby, "is the nation wide propaganda for a WAR OF WORDS CONTINUES ABROAD British Press Backs Stand Of Lloyd George While Paris Attacks CRISIS IS COMING SOON WIDE OPEN SUFFUL AMUSEMENTATIONS BENT ON SABBATH THE WEEK." "We have an irrigated ministers most dangerous American Sun now in progress." "Close up the gates of doors of many this paramount churches will solution."

White collars again sell at two for a quarter nearly everywhere. Sugar is down where we can handle it without making a face. Butter and eggs taste good again. Lumber is being used extensively again. Copper and lead are below pre-war prices. This all means that the first step in deflation has about passed although the cost to the ultimate consumer will not drop in proportion until taxation and wages have been materially reduced. Building is going on merrily, and there is plenty of work ahead. After a while, the government will cease building navies and maintaining an army and then taxation will hit the toboggan. The Anaheim Herald will carry an interesting story tomorrow showing the amount of groceries and provisions $50.50 bought May 21st last year and how much the same amount will buy Saturday at a local grocery store. SPORTSMANSHIP; TWO REAL COLORS. News from the camps of Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier, the two pugilists who will fight for the world's championship leads one to believe that of the two, Carpentier is the real sportsman and Dempsey is hunting the almighty dollar. Information comes by way of press dispatches that Dempsey is giving exhibitions daily at 50 cents per look to all who want to see him play tiddley winks with his sparring partners. Information comes by way of press dispatches that Carpentier is secluding himself daily and came to America to win the championship title and not to conduct a circus, and is going to begin training June 1st behind closed doors. Maybe Dempsey thinks he had better get his roll while getting is good, and we hope his "hunch" is correct. ABROAD British Press Backs Stand Of Lloyd George While Paris Attacks CRISIS IS COMING SOON The Franco-British war of words continued today. Each backed by regiments of newspapers, the premiers of the two nations directed a heavy fire of statement and opinion on the propert division of Upper Silesia between Germany and Poland. Premier Lloyd George's offensive of yesterday when he reiterated his assertion that Germany had as much right as Poland to invade Silesia was met by a prompt counter attack. "It's a fit of ill temper," Premier Briand declared caustically. France practically snatched the Silesia situation out of Britain's hands today with a note to Berlin demanding that unorganized German bands be kept out of Silesia. Upper Silesia meanwhile lay starving. Germans controlling the railways refused to send in supplies to support the invading Poles. Sporadic fighting occurred but the region for the most part was quiet with the Polish insurgents holding a line which included the richest portions of the district. LONDON, May 19.—Lloyd George again gained the support of the British press today in his new warning to France and Poland in the Silesian dispute. With the exception of the Post, which was violently antagonistic to the premier, London newspapers heartily approved his assertion that "children of tae treaty will not be allowed to break crockery with impunity." There is some fear that cutting the cotton acreage in the south will reduce the wool clip this year.

"We have already warned the leading ministers of the country that the most dangerous movement against the American Sunday in fifty years, is now in progress." "Close up the movie theatre, shut the gates of the ball parks, lock the doors of many places of business, and this paramount problem of the churches will be well on its way to solution." Dr. Bowlby expressed the view that the Blue Sunday would come. He said those who once predicted prohibition would never come, now see it. The 133rd annual Presbyterian assembly opened today with an address by Dr. S. S. Palmer, Columbus, O., retiring moderator. He deplored the ignorance of the children today regarding the teachings of the Bible. Dr. Henry C. Swearingen, St. Paul, and Dr. John S. Laird, of Philadelphia, are the chief contenders for the post of moderator. The election will be held after the preliminary organization work today. LETTA' PARSONS STORY BE TOLD OF KILLING Bride of 14 Will Tell How She Shot and Killed Her Step-daughter NEIGHBORS, FLOCKING FARMINGTON, Mo., May 19.—Folks in the Ozark Mountains hooked up their mules today and drove into town to hear Letta Persons' story in court. Most everybody in Ozarks' knows about Letta. For thirteen years she was nobody's child, just running around Farmington and the countryside, without father or mother. She never learned to read or write—Letta is just "po" white." Then shortly after her thirtenth birthday, John Parson, a wood chopper, married her and brought her home to mother his two children. Letta is being tried for the alleged murder of one of them. Five days after she was married she blew the top of six-year-old Lilly Parson's head off with a gun. The child bride—she didn't look it following is the program of events and list of models who will participate in the Fashion Show and Datha Beauties exhibition at the California Valencia Orange Show at 8 o'clock this evening: Jewell Pathe and Her Butterfly Fashion Models Dorothy Morgan...Baby of the Movel Jewell Pathe ...Anp Butterfly O Virginia Dobson ...The Blue Bird O Billie Mumford ...Bright E June Day ...The Golden Hair O Ima Burline ...The Folly O Bonnie Adair ...The Rose O Katherine Grant ...The Smile O 1.

Davidson is here with his partner, Paul Clogg, the two being members of the Clegg, Martin and Davidson advertising agency of San Diego, and representing the Citrus Soap Company at the Orange show. "Running fairs is my side line," said Davidson, "and I never fail to get a big kick out of what I actually see and hear around a show ground, for people become actually human on such occasions and forget their stair and sober artificialities." "I have overheard quite a few good ones out at the orange snow, but the best one I ever caught was from a woman who was dragging a very tired kid home from the circus. Willie lagged something fearfully as mother tried to hurry him home in time to get his dad dinner and she was scolding little Willie for his lack of speed as she fairly dragged him along. Willie was apparently lost in thought and made haste quite slowly, but at last she gave him a more vigorous jerk and Willie awoke from his contemplation of the wonders he had seen at the circus and sald, 'Gee, ma, ain't the giraffe a heluva funny animal?' "Why Willie,' said Ma in surprise, 'how often have I told you not to use the word 'aint?'" "Of course, after telling this one," said the irresponsible Ed, "it is only fair to all concerned to add that the Citrus Washing Powder booth, emitting the fragrant aroma of the lemon, and meeting with the smell of the orange blossom, intermingles and gives the whole show a decided citrus accent. The orange show is without question the most pleasing show of its kind I have ever seen and some one must be complimented for a very attractive general scheme and close attention to detail. As you probably know, Citrus has a wonderful distribution on the coast, being manufactured in San Diego, but we are soon going to invade the east with this product. However, a thorough campaign of newspaper advertising to still further stimulate sales on the coast is now being laid out by our agency. This campaign will start in Washington and Oregon and continue through California." Unrest: A yearning, almost universal, to shift the fiddler's bill to some mythical third person. Announcement was received today by Turton & Lumsdon, local Maxwell dealers, that the price of Maxwell automobiles from this day on will be reduced $150 delivered in Anaheim. The information came from the Union Motor Company, Los Angeles, distributors in Southern California for the Maxwell car. The touring car and roadster will now sell for $1045. The sedan and coupe also are reduced $150 in price. Psychological note: "We" won the war; "they" levy taxes. Then shortly after her thirteenth birthday, John Parson, a wood chopper, married her and brought her home to mother his two children. Letta is being tried for the alleged murder of one of them. Five days after she was married she blew the top of six-year-old Lilly Parson's head off with a gun. The child bride—she didn't look it today, with her skinny pigtails and her scared eyes—says she didn't "make out" to kill Lilly. She says she was playing on the floor with the children and didn't know the gun was loaded. But Johnny Pargon, her other stepchild, says she killed his sister because she acted up when Letta was trying to comb her hair. Then there are folks who say Letta isn't such a child as her thirteen years indicate. They say she was "getting even" with John Parson because he "trapsied" around with another woman right after he married Letta. There is a chance the Ozark folks who know all about Letta won't get a chance to hear her story. The case may be heard behind closed doors. But they are leaving spring planting and coming anyway, because, although Letta is a queer little creature—wild as a hawk some say—these are a passel of folks who feel right sorry for her. She always was "nobody's child." REDUCE MAXWELLS $150 ANNOUNCED BY LOCAL AGENTS A report was current in Anaheim today to the effect that the Richfield at Richfield has come in that all of its tanks and sumps were overflowing with oil. Person was asked from the adjournment property owners to lay a pipe across their land to take care of surplus oil which was going to it was reported. It was also reported that the Sard Oil company had purchased oil and was making all possible parations to take care of the flow. An advertisement in this year's Examiner urged all Richfield stockholders to retain stock, stating that it would be $4 per share. It has been selling 50 cents. Show--It's Great!

BABIES BEING EXAMINED BY SCORES Baby Welfare Tent Popular With Hundreds of the Mothers Of Anaheim FAMOUS LECTURER The programs at the Baby Welfare tent at the Orange show are one of the big features to the mothers of this community.

The registration of the babies at the Welfare tent this morning surpassed another day. This morning about Yesterday was a great day for the show officials, their faces widened into a broad smile as the great throne began pouring through the gates. It meant that the success of the first California Valencia Orange Show which means so much to Anaheim was assured. It was easy to note the change which had come over the officials as the burden of the financial responsibility began to raise from their shoulders. The multitude of spectators wore struck when the fashion girl made their appearance, wearing the latest creations furnished by the courtesy of Falkenstein's, Prin store, the S. Q.R. store, and the Style Shop. Hats were furnished. Cable Millinery. Frocks, sport models, afternoon frocks, evening frocks and even dresses, all came in for their shine in the showing. The Bathing Beauties, which followed, displayed a striking array of geous costumes for beach wear and made a big hit. There were those with plenty of materials highly coated and then there were those well, more scant. The crowd last night was made mostly of Orange county people we used wisdom in attending the show early in the week before the mass from Los Angeles and surrounded towns begin pouring in, packing a tent beyond comfort. The Fashion Show and the Bathing Beauties will be the special attraction again tonight beginning at 9 o'clock. Following is the program of ever at the California Valencia Orange show for Friday and Saturday: Friday—Civic Bodies and Municipalities Day 9 a.m., show opens its gates. 10 a.m., opening of amusements. 3 p.m., concert in band stand.

This will be of interest to mothers and they are invited to come at 2 o'clock and remain throughout the afternoon. Following Dr. Newkirk's talk he will award prizes. The registration of the babies at the Welfare tent this morning surpassed any other day. This morning about 75 were examined by the physicians. The hostesses for today have been busy since the beginning of the day. They have done exceptional good work under the chairmanship of Mrs. H. A. Johnston. There are two days left to have the babies taken care of and every mother should go at the earliest possible time. STREET DANCING BEING PLANNED SATURDAY NIGHT HERE As a sort of semi-wind-up of the week's festivities, the Anaheim Post of the American Legion will put on a street dance Saturday night where dancers will trip to the music of Hefner's orchestra.

Chapman home place, near Placentia, today received honuses ranging from $25 to $100 each. The bonuses were presented by Chapman.
