If there is a family in need in Anaheim, its needs are not known, for if they were known, someone would fill the empty cupboard and give quick aid. There is an organization, world-wide in scope, that is seeking aid from the people of Anaheim. The American Red Cross is conducting its roll call. There is not a person in Anaheim who needs information about the activities of the American Red Cross. It should not be necessary for the workers to plead for funds for this organization. It is to be regretted that funds are not already subscribed. What is money? Money is the element in competitive life that is exchanged for things we need and for many things we think we need. We cannot take money with us when we die, for in Heaven it is not needed and in Hell it would make things worse. If you have a little more than you need for your immediate needs, give it to the American Red Cross. Money cannot buy anything in the hereafter. Let it buy some happiness for others while you are alive to see them enjoy it. Loosen up. Cough up. Give up. Do it now, for tomorrow you may not be here.

S. District Attorney Flynn today planned to call a special session of the grand jury immediately to dispose of the latest charges against the bandit. The grand jury now stands adjourned until next week. Federal-officials frankly assert, however, that they do not want to be responsible for Gardner's custody in jail here a day longer than necessary. Gardner was to have been taken to Leavenworth, Kansas, federal prison today by U. S. Marshal Joseph P. Dillon on orders of Attorney General Daugherty. Subsequent orders from Washington signed by Postmaster General Hays, caused a reversal of plans today. Hays instructed local officials to try Gardner for his recent attempt to rob a Santa Fe mail train, in order that Norman Indleried, his captor, may receive the standing government reward of $5,000. Sentences now standing against Gardner for previous crimes total approximately seventy-five years, so it was at first considered useless to force him to trial for his latest offense. Postmaster General Hays, however, pointed out that unless Gardner was "tried and convicted" for the Santa Fe episode, the government could not pay Indleried, mail clerk who captured him, the standard reward for apprehension of mail robbers. Gardner will stand trial either here or in Tuscon, it was announced. Judge C. A. Davis will represent him.

"The farmers would be compelled to do this because of the high cost of repairing and garage charges and because of the decreased purchasing power of the dollar, which, on a pre-war basis of 1913, had a purchasing power of 100 cents on the dollar and today a relative power of only 69 cents." Farmers Losing Money "In 1921, there were between 30,000 and 40,000 acres planted to beets in Orange county. It cost from $10 to $12 a ton to produce these beets, while the growers are only getting from $6 to $7 a ton in return. "Practically all of these growers use large tractors, due to the heavy nature of the work required, and therefore this particular group of farmers are most vitally affected, although with the exception of a limited number of the individual growers, the farmers as a whole are in a similar position. "With this statement of the ability of the farmers to pay, we, the undersigned committee of the organized farmers of Orange county, request that you make an investigation and advise us within a reasonable time, what reduction in garage labor charges on automobiles, trucks, and tractors, especially tractors, you will be able to make at this time."
