USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. EIGHT PAGES Now and Then By The Editor THE PRIZE FIGHT; BULL FIGHTS. The newspapers of the country are giving Jack Dempsey about ten million dollars worth of advertising space for nothing. The press associations serving newspapers are sending out columns of rot every day, telling the world what Dempsey had for supper and what he expects to have for breakfast. A majority of the readers of newspapers are not interested in what the rough neck eats or where he sleeps, they are interested only in seeing him get what he deserves, whether he is the better fighter of the two or not. Dempsey sought the safety of the shipyards when war came and he made America safe for Dempsey and no one else. Carpentier, his opponent in the fight July 2nd served his country in the trenches four years and of the two loyal Americans would rather see him win than Dempsey, who does not typify the true American sportsman by any means. Cockfights and bull-fights and dog fights have been abolished in the United States, for they were all considered brutal. And mind you, these fights were between dumb animals, except in the case of bull fights, and even in them, the distinction was not great enough to call them bull GLOBE TROTTER HERE WITH HIS PONY OUTFIT Continental Trip by Mule-Power Was Big Experience WANTS MOVIE FUNDS George L. Covert arrived in town this morning with his outfit of Jerusalem ponies, commonly known as burros, one of which is highly trained and has a disposition like a buzz saw toward everybody but her owner. This particular pony is named Dandelion, but Covert calls her Dan for short and besides, he says, "If things don't go right, I can say Dan and it will answer the purpose for a word that sounds very much like Dan." Covert left New York for San Diego in his wheel chair June 2nd, 1912, headed for San Diego, California. Dandelion pushed him over the road the full journey and now Covert is attempting to raise funds by selling postcard pictures of his outfit so that he can enact a motion picture of his travels across the continent. He the two loyal Americans would rather see him win than Dempsey, who does not typify the true American sportsman by any means. Cockfights and bull fights and dog fights have been abolished in the United States, for they were all considered brutal. And mind you, these fights were between dumb animals, except in the case of bull fights, and even in them, the distinction was not great enough to call them bull and man fights. The so-called boxing exhibitions, such as the one to be staged in New Jersey between Dempsey and Carpentier are nothing more nor less than barbarous battles between human beings. Dempsey is going into the fight in the hope of landing on Carpentier so hard that the Frenchman will be knocked unconscious, how long, Dempsey does not care so long as the required ten seconds lapses so that he can retain the right to go about beating other men into insensibility. Win or lose, the shipyard worker will receive a fortune for working 36 minutes if the fight goes the twelve rounds. So-called sportsmen will pay up to $200 for a seat to see this fight. We doubt if many of those same sportsmen would give a dollar to deserving ex-service man. Many ex-service men will undoubtedly yell a lung loose for Carpentier, and if we were fool enough to pay $200 or some such fool sum for a ring-side seat, we would probably yell both lungs loose for the Frenchman. We do not hope Carpentier whips Dempsey in the first round, nor the second. We hope he punishes Dempsey in every one of the scheduled twelve rounds and about ten seconds before the bell rings closing the last round, we hope Carpentier lands on Dempsey's jaw so hard that the shipyard worker will wake up in the "lost and found" column of the North Pole Daily News any old time before Christmas—we should worry. LIMITED DEBATE; EXCELLENT IDEA. Mrs. Robertson, congresswoman from Oklahoma declares that there is too much talking, discussion, debate, hot air and gab in Congress. The only woman in Congress has done little talking since assuming the duo. Covert left New York for San Diego in his wheel chair June 2nd, 1912, headed for San Diego, California. Dandelion pushed him over the road the full journey and now Covert is attempting to raise funds by selling postcard pictures of his outfit so that he can enact a motion picture of his travels across the continent. He was held up in daylight at one point in Indiana, and at another place gypsies made his life miserable for a while. Covert is a cripple and is forced to get about in a wheel chair. It was in this wheel chair that he sat and steered his way across the continent while Dandelion pushed. He declares that he has discovered that the best way to handle the hind end of a kicking Jerusalem pony is to stay away from said hind end and negotiate as far as possible with the front end. Dandelion is strong in her dislikes and Covert is the only man who can handle her. She has much respect for her master, but for everybody else—nothing stirring nohow in the least. Covert is attempting today to get a place to exhibit Dandelion to the public so that he can secure needed funds to carry on his work to have a motion picture made of his travels across the continent. Since leaving New York, Covert acquired by gifts, a regular army of burros. Today he has Doby, given to him in Phoenix, Kate, given to him in Hillsborough, Ohio. Kate's eight weeks old daughter is also a member of the party and sticks close to the side of her mother while travelling. Covert has a wife and five children, all of whom are in San Diego now, except the oldest boy, who travelled on foot the entire 5,000 miles over rough roads and roads that were rougher than rough, as well as smooth roads. The boy is a picture of health, about 15 years old, and seems to enjoy his environment. He is the whip wielder for his father and has highest respect for Dandelion, the trick Jerusalem pony that pushed his father across the continent. His respect is always shown however at a safe distance from the business end.

July-19 is th LIMITED DEBATE; EXCELLENT IDEA. Mrs. Robertson, congresswoman from Oklahoma declares that there is too much talking, discussion, debate, hot air and gab in Congress. The only woman in Congress has done little talking since assuming the duties given her by her district in Oklahoma, and now she declares, silence is golden. Every word uttered in the Senate and the House costs the taxpayers something and it is her belief that if fewer words were spoken, the cost of printing the congressional record would be lower, and in that way, the cost of operating the government reduced. Congress spends money very rapidly and if Mrs. Robertson's attitude on talk carries any weight with Congressmen and Senators, the cost of upkeep of Congress may be reduced. We expect to see it reduced however about the same time the waters of the Pacific play squat tag with the Rocky mountains. Filipinos are to be taught obedience to law and order before they gain independence, General Wood tells them. They probably can gain such knowledge by mail, from Georgia Oklahoma and West Virginia. Admiral Sims has seen Denby. We wonder if he wore a pillow in a convenient place when he went to be spanked. He should, for he has been called before the boss several times and surely knew what might be expected. If some women would devote more time to being permanent wives and less time to making permanent waves, the world would be happier. PARKING SPACE IS ORDERED AROUND CITY'S PARK It was ordered by the Trustees last night that a ten foot parking space be created around the city's park site. This space will be used in the future for street widening purposes on the four streets should occasion require it. Landscape artists have been employed to lay out the grounds and the completion of the park will be effected as soon as possible. It is proposed to use the site for the annual Valencia Orange Shows. Much work remains to be dine, but the trustees feel obligated to create a park that will be a credit to the city, but more funds are needed for that purpose. HEIM DAILY HERE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1921 THOUSAND ANNUAL RENTAL OFFERED STANTON RANCH James Stewart last night offered to lease the 73 acre Stanton ranch belonging to the city, the same to be exploited for oil. Mr. Stewart is seeking other leases in that locality and in the event of securing a sufficient acreage would turn the holdings over to a reputable oil company for development. He agrees to pay $1000 yearly rental to the city with the usual royalty bonus. The board laid the matter over until the next meeting. COMPLAINT IS FILED WITH COMMISSION Mrs. F. Morri and 30 Water Users Would Compel Service from Lawrie HEARING TO BE SOON CHAMBER WILL TAKE CHARGE ELECTION Trustees Accept Offer of Civic Body Put Over Bond Issue WILL AID CITIZENS MRS. F. MORRI, who operates a soft drink stand and cigar stand in the Swan tract has filed complaint with the Railroad Commission against W. S. B. Lawrie, seeking to compel him to restore water service to her and to some forty other residents of that section. A speedy hearing in the matter has been requested by attorneys for Mrs. Morri and the complaint, signed by Mrs. Morri and other water users who have been supplied with water by Lawrie for some years, has the end in view of compelling Lawrie to continue service which Mrs. Morri claims he arbitrarily cut off some days ago. "I am going to fight this thing to the limit" said Mrs. Morri today, "for I know that justice will be done." PERMIT GRANTED ERECT AWNING IN USED CAR MARKET Harry D. Riley asked the trustees last night for permission to erect a temporary sunshade on the lot east of Masonic Temple to protect a display of used automobiles which he intends to put on exhibition there. The structure will be of corrugated iron suspended on inch and a half water pipe, thus making it non-inflammable. The request was granted. A similar request made by Bob White for a structure on North Lemon street was also granted. JUDGE WEST IS LENIENT TO TWO BOYS Gives Sound Lecture When Extended Probation on Arson Charge SET FIRE TO BARN ELEGITION Trustees Accept Offer of Civic Body Put Over Bond Issue WILL AID CITIZENS The board of trustees received a communication from the Chamber of Commerce last night offering the services of that organization on the day of the forthcoming bond election to help put over the issue. Secretary Fraser stated that headquarters would be established at the water company's office on East Center street and every facility offered the city to get out a full vote of the people. The bond issue is for $160,000, and the funds are to be used for extension of water and sewerage systems, erection of a city hall and the purchase of a portable pump for fire protection. The city trustees have ordered that data defining the purposes for which the money is to be used be prepared and furnished the press also to be used in pamphlet form on election day. The trustees accepted the services of the Chamber of Commerce and appreciate the public spirit shown, and will request that the chamber take charge of affairs on the day of election in order that a favorable expression of the people may be secured for the issuance of the bonds. The bonds will automatically pay for themselves and are a good investment. July 19 is the date of election. CITY MANAGER IS INSTRUCTED TO CONTINUE OILING The City Manager was instructed last night by the Trustees to follow his usual custom in oil streets,—to give the roads needing oil the preference. There are a number of dirt roads that are in bad shape, but oil is expensive, and the supply on hand is limited. The settlement is outside the corporate limits of Anaheim, the city line running on the other side of the main highway, which passes this point. The complaints allege that no schedule of rates or service ever has been filed with the railroad commission by Lawrie, who appears to own Morri and the complaint, signed by Mrs. Morri and other water users who have been supplied with water by Lawrie for some years, has the end in view of compelling Lawrie to continue service which Mrs. Morri claims he arbitrarily cut off some days ago. "I am going to fight this thing to the limit" said Mrs. Morri today, "for I know that justice will be done. I have a sick child, and am trying to make a living out there. The public health is menaced by cutting off the water service and I am not going to let it go unpunished. I have paid my water bill to Lawrie for June and he has failed to serve me with water. If that is just, I don't know what justice is." Attorneys for Mrs. Morri yesterday called the railroad commission representative on the telephone at Los Angeles and laid the matter before him. He instructed the attorney to bring the matter before the board in due form of complaint and that an early hearing will be arranged. Mrs. Morri claims that she is forced to use water secured from melted ice to do her cooking, or walk a long distance to the Lawrie wells and carry it to her home. If there is any justice on her side in the water controversy, Mrs. Morri, who is a widow, intends to secure it. LEGAL FORM Claiming that sanitary conditions were becoming such as to create a serious menace to health as a result of the alleged shutting off of the water supply by Lawrie, residents, through the law firm of Marks & Lauer of Fullerton drew up a legal complaint entitled: 'Mrs. F. Morri et al., complainants, versus W. S. Lawrie, defendant,' and the issues are being filed with the state railroad commission to force the defendant, Lawrie, to furnish an adequate and constant supply of water for domestic purposes.

FIVE BOXING BOUTS SCHEDULED FOR THIS EVENING There will be five high class boxing bouts tonight at Spark's ranch on the Garden Grove road, according to the schedule arranged by Louis Nelson. The main event will be a four round bout between Red Mathews of Anaheim and George Sherman of Los Angeles. They will enter at 135 pounds. K. O. Snoll of Los Angeles will meet Jess Reed of Los Angeles at 155 pounds and Kid Kansas of Anaheim will meet Kid Moon of Los Angeles, at 150 pounds. Other preliminaries will be between Young Volmer of range and Kid Leo of Los Angeles at 120 pounds and Young Eckhart of Huntington Beach and Kid Holmes of Los Angeles, at 130 pounds. No wrestling bouts have been arranged for this week, according to Louis Nelson, manager of the exhibition. "We must not forget," says Congressman, "that the quarrel of France and England is our quarrel." It ought to be. We paid for it. The settlement is outside the corporate limits of Anaheim, the city line running on the other side of the main highway, which passes this point. The complaints allege that no schedule of rates or service ever has been filed with the railroad commission by Lawrie, who appears to own and manage the water supply from a 25,000 gallon tank. The allegations maintain that for the past three months Lawrie's service has become poorer, less regular and for days at a time no service of water rendered, nor any attempt to render same has been made by him. The allegations assert that since June 6th Lawrie has shut off the water supply completely, and that health authorities have investigated conditions there, declaring that a continuance of failure to provide water will, in all probability, due to hot weather, cause a very serious epidemic, endangering the health of all. About forty families have their homes there. It is further stipulated that Lawrie has refused to continue the regular service of this water supply, that his rates have been high, and exhorbitant, and that there is no meter service. The petitioners have water receipts, some of which were as high as $4.50, while others claim to have paid $3 a month for water and were unable at times to get enough to enable them to wash dishes. Mrs. Morri, who represents the petitioners, said today that the residents had raised $300 to prosecute their cases. MISSING WOMAN IS HOME, NO REPORT OF HER TRAVELS After a fruitless search of over twenty-four hours, in which her relatives could find no trace of her, Mrs. B. F. Peirpoint, 1129 West Chestnut street returned to her home at 11 o'clock last night. Her relatives refuged to give any particulars of her wandering, or declined to state where she had gone. NEW YORK—Raymond Heyes, chauffeur, started to flirt with Mrs. Herman Rosenthal. He didn't see Herman, then he woke up in a hospital he couldn't be convinced a safe hadn't fallen on him. A wage cut is a dangerous operation, but at times it is the only way to save the life of the business. REAPPOINTED TWO LIBRARY TRUSTEES F. A. Backs, Jr., and A. B.

WEST IS ENT TO BOYS Lecture When Probation on Charge TO BARN ELEVATOR PUT UNDER CITY TO BRING ABOUT CONDITIONS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SEEKS Fund of $12,000 Sought and 350 Members for Orange Show, Hospital, Rest Room, Tourist Hotel, Garbage Collection, Etc., Etc. ROUSING MEETING HELD TODAY AT NOON Three hunried and fifty members and a minimum service fund of $12,000 is the goal set by the campaign committee of forty-nine in the expansion campaign of the chamber of commerce at a meeting in the I. O. O. F. Hall today noon. It was the unanimous option that the problems ahead of the community will require the cooperation of the number of people and the amount of money named as the goal. "This is the most important meeting that has been held since the war," said Chairman A. B. McCord in opening the discussion. The time has come to stop the "hit or miss" policy that we have been pursuing in former years and work on a definite program for the development of Anaheim and the surrounding community. "Out of the nine essentials of a modern and efficient chamber of com-ferent sort of way. But now we must have the others including a working membership an adequate income a definite program of work a student of committee organization and control, comparative measurement of work, and the other things that are so essential." The time has come—let's go! In explaining the situation, Ben H. Schouboe, (pronounced Sko-by) campaign manager for the American City Bureau, said: "Several months ago the board of directors decided to expand the Anaheim chamber of commerce. They called upon the American City Bureau to explain their system of organization and management and agreed to engage our services for the work. We are here to serve you in every possible way. And in undertaking this work in this manner you are merely following the example of over forty other cities in California that have used the Bureau system and found that it works more successfully than any other method." FICTITIOUS CHECK CHARGE MAY NOW BE MADE OUT A complaint charging that a Mexican giving his name as Manuel Monte, cashed at fictitious check for $27, was issued today by the District Attorney at the request of A. N. Stanley, clothing merchant of Fullerton. The check was made out to Manuel Monte, and was endorsed by him. The check was written on the Fullerton Farmers and Merchants National Bank, on a blank check of the American Fruit Growers Exchange. The name of Aquth Ybath was signed to the check. M. Cardosa, who was arrested in the office of the County Clerk here yesterday, when he attempted to secure a license to wed Manuela Martinez, 14 year old Whittier girl, who, Whittier officers say he kidnapped, is suspected of floating the check. He answers to the description given by Stanley, officers say, and is known to have been in Fullerton the afternoon that the check was cashed. He will probably be examined today. FUNERAL SATURDAY Funeral services over the remains of Mrs. C. W. Kipp will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Backs & Terry Parlors, Rev. Messias officiating. Burial will be in Loma Vista. Deceased is survived by her husband, two children and sisters.

In addition to this, there will be raised a service fund of whatever amount you may determine will be needed to take care of all community activities that could rightfully be undertaken by a chamber of commerce and to eliminate passing the bat every time you want to do something." The members were then called upon to state what they thought the chamber of commerce should undertake. Each one present gave his idea or seconded some activity that had been mentioned by some other member. Among those things suggested were closer cooperation with the country; a fireproof hospital; the orange show public rest room; garbage and waste collection; family and tourist hotel wider publicity; better and more extensive lighting system; clearer cooperation between the merchants more housing; civile auditorium; signs on streets and roads; backing the city bond issues; promotion of industrial plants; extension of city limits; built auto parking system; more parked streets; electric car services; parking shade trees; electric signs advertising the city, etc. President Harry D.

AURORA, Ill.—Eight girls in a bathing beauty contest withdrew when they were told that it was necessary for them to get their bathing suits wet before they could participate. Japan’s troops employ the goose step, but otherwise there is no evidence that she is riding for a fall. Thoughts for Anaheim Citizens A city cannot be built upon the fallacious doctrine that a good city is bound to come out all right anyway without intelligent leadership. Nothing happens by mere chance. For every effect there is a definite cause. Anaheim’s civic, commercial, agricultural, industrial and horticultural future will be determined by its economic and social conditions, coupled with the exercise of intelligent energy, farsightedness and co-operative spirit in solving its problems. Local problems and future development can be handled best by a powerful, strongly built, well-managed and adequately financed Chamber of Commerce. Anaheim is on its way to a population of 20,000 within a short time. It needs a Chamber of Commerce with at least 40 members to meet its growing community needs. At present the Chamber is handicapped by lack of funds and members. Even so, it has accomplished many things of importance. Give a thought to Anaheim.
