Lone Bandit Stops Andrew Kratt on Richfield Road; Report Made to Sheriff's Office.
Held up and robbed of $70 when he stopped to examine a tire on his delivery car in the sand wash between Placentia and Richfield, Andrew Kratt, one of the proprietors of the Placentia Mercantile Store, reported the theft to the sheriff about an hour after it happened on Saturday evening.
Investigation by the sheriff and his deputies revealed no trace of the highwayman. The holdup took place on a lonely stretch of road. A hedge on one side and a standpipe nearby provided shelter for the masked man, who stepped out and shoved a gun against Mr. Kratt's ribs as he was bending over examining the tire.
Mr. Kratt was driving a delivery truck distributing grocery orders from his store. The man was masked and worked quickly. Mr. Kratt was unable to see him distinctly in the gath

"A three-cornered fight developed in the league meeting between the advocates of private ownership or power companies, those who favored the city of Los Angeles, and those who want the United States government to take charge of the project in the interest of all the people.
"There was also considerable confusion because of the fear of the delegates from some of the seven states interested that their state rights would not be fully protected."
The Anaheim delegates favored the United States government control and development of the project. The delegation from this city was composed of City Manager C. E. Steward, Mayor William Stark and Councilmen F. M. Gibbs and C. H. Mann.
FAILURE OF ATTORNEY TO APPEAR DELAYS WAR OVER CHILD
Because the attorney for the plaintiff got his dates mixed and failed to notify his client to appear in court last Friday afternoon the action brought by Mrs. Mary Moore against Laurence Meyer of Placentia, her divorced husband, to compel him to show cause why a court order giving him the custody of their minor child should not be modified or vacated, was continued until Friday, December 23.
Counsel for Mrs. Moore told the court that he expected to prove that Mrs. Moore had called at the home of her husband several times in the past five months and that she had been denied the privilege of seeing her son.
Couldn't See Child
When the court granted the father the custody of the child it was stipulated that the mother would be permitted to see the boy on alternate Sundays. Mrs. Moore's counsel declared that she had not been permitted to see the child but twice since June 1.
Inasmuch as the defendant, Meyer, desires to contest the allegation of his former wife it was agreed that the case would have to be continued until such a time as she could appear in person and testify from the witness stand.

Have You Filled Gift Stocking For Poor Little Boy or Girl?
Have you purchased that pair of stockings for some poor boy or girl? Have you filled one of the stockings with goodies and have you experienced the great joy of doing something for someone you know will appreciate it?
The time before Christmas is growing short. The plan is simple... Here it is:
This newspaper asks you to buy a pair of stockings for some poor boy or girl and to fill one of the stockings with things that are dear to the heart of a child and to bring the pair of stockings to the office of this newspaper. When you have done this, you have completed your task. This paper will see that the stockings, the empty one and the full one, are given to some poor boy or girl on Christmas morning.
Can't you imagine the joy of a child receiving this present from Santa Claus on Christmas morning, pulling the candy and nuts and presents from the stockings and breathing a prayer of thankfulness to the good but unknown friend that sent the treasures!
Think of the unfortunate boys and girls who will have no presents this year, who will not know that there is a Christmas for them unless you see that they get this present. It isn't much to do to buy a pair of stockings and to fill one. You will find a real joy in doing it.

That an increase of 40 per cent in membership in organized farm centers throughout the county has already been reported by workers and that other districts not previously touched by the farm bureau are to be worked for members, was the announcement given out at the farm bureau office today.

All workers in the membership campaign have not yet made an official progress report to the main office, but unofficial reports show that in most cases they have far surpassed expectations. Efforts will be directed toward a general clean-up of districts already worked for this week.

It isn't much to do to buy a pair of stockings and to fill one. You will find a real joy in doing it. And on Christmas morning there will be happiness in homes where little sunshine has penetrated. Isn't it worth the trouble?
Send the pair of stockings, one filled, to The Herald office. Tell some poor little boy or girl to call Santa Claus at Phone No. 650.

In the report of the meeting of the city council published in the Herald of Friday it was stated that the property on West street where complaint of lack of sidewalks was made to the council belonged to Councilman H.

AGAIN ON BONDS TO BUILD SCHOOL
January 7, 1922, is the date upon which voters of the Garden Grove high school district will again have apportioned unity to express themselves on an issue of $125,000 bonds for providing that district with a modern high school building and equipment.
The trustees of the district, composed of R. B. Richey, president; William Lenhart, clerk; J. O. Arkley, Edward M. Ohmer and Curtis H. Hickman, at a meeting at the school house in Garden Grove took official steps to call a new election. The issue was to have been submitted last Saturday but failure to open the polls in the Bolsa grammar school district, voided the election.
It was reported today that the board now has four sites under consideration, one of them being the Edward Chaffee tract, upon which it was undertood prior to the date of the first regular election. It was proposed to locate the high school plant if the bonds were voted.
That the situation developed last Saturday has aroused the greatest interest in the Garden Grove district was indicated today when it became known a number of voters who had not registered for the other elections have since done so, in order that they may exercise their franchise and help put the bond issue over.
Sometimes the man who was born a fool gets bravely over it line at stage money.

The stores Saturday and Saturday night were crowded with small girls and boys on their way to inspect Santa Claus stock and make sanguine selection. The old white-whiskered, apple-cheeked gentleman is making his appearance in several Anaheim stores.
One would have to be quite past a interest in life and happiness to be thrilled by the 1921 varieties of Christmas toys. They are even more elaborate detailed than ever. The child of thirty years ago who was content with a button string a cambric picture book and a chin doll with glassy, painted features and hair, would be dazzled by hysteria by the multitude now offered.
They can't be catalogued; they can be described. In price, they range from a penny to—well, an electric train, complete with tracks, roundhouse, tunnel, signals, and every detail, is up in the hundred dollars. The toys start with the old favorites: dolls, blocks and little wagons to be pulled about with a string. They range through toy boxes, hobby horses and velocipedes or a thirty-six inch ocean liner, complex even to life boats and hinged cabins.

Every article used in the present day household is reproduced in "pocket editions" for the delight of little girls. There are toy vacuum cleaners, toy perculators, wash tubs and doll furniture, bird cages, phonographs, chandeliers and five-inch player pianos.
For the little boys there are fascinating toys of every description. There are tops which sing as they spin, some that spin on pedestals. There are boxes of slight-of-hand tricks. There are marvelous toy motor cars, pedal propelled, it's true, but with lights, brakes, disc wheels and leather upholstered seats.
Mothers and fathers—assistants of Santa Claus—may be pleasantly surprised at this year's prices on toys. Generally speaking, buyers in the various stores say, there is a 30 per cent reduction in toy prices this year as compared with last. The majority of toys are American made.
