VOLUME XXXIX TO LOOK AFTER THE EXHIBIT ARMSTRONG CHOSEN BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Assistant Secretary Will Extend Glad Hand to Strangers and Have Various Duties, Including Service as Janitor--Pertinent Reply to Investor With the title of assistant secretary, but for services which will include various other duties, T. S. Armstrong was employed by directors of the chamber of commerce on Monday night, his services in such capacity to begin June 1. Mr. Armstrong will be in charge of the room in which the organization maintains its display of products, and is expected to keep it in proper order and to furnish information requested by strangers or visitors to the exhibit. He will also conduct the correspondence of the chamber and have charge of its books and records. Ten dollars per month is to be paid the assistant secretary for this service. The action was taken upon recommendation of the exhibit committee, and receivable half of its normal that the plant could furnish more light and power now furnishing; that the could furnish about 800 pts than it is now furnishing the pressure is sufficient tic use, and that some acting because of too much where the plumbing is o states that should the down or be shaken down would be furnished cor the same, as it would the ed directly into the main done in Santa Ana. We find that some people here but that many men ing in than are leaving, the school census and the voters. The school child creased 109, or about 15% the past year, while the creased 153 from 1906 about 35 per cent, from tion to another. Most of those who are going where land is much not because property is value here. As to property value ter street near the cen its display of products, and is expected to keep it in proper order and to furnish information requested by strangers or visitors to the exhibit. He will also conduct the correspondence of the chamber and have charge of its books and records. Ten dollars per month is to be paid the assistant secretary for this service. The action was taken upon recommendation of the exhibit committee, and received the unanimous vote of directors present at Monday night's meeting. New signs have been erected at the railroad stations, which furnish to the new arrival and the passing stranger a brief statement of the town's attractions, with revised figures as to population and other matters of interest. Warrants were ordered in payment for the painting of these signs and for annual dues to the county associated chambers of commerce. The present situation in regard to paving was reported as encouraging, with a prospect that work will begin soon upon contracts which are being made by property owners with a Los Angeles paving company for work on Los Angeles and Center streets. The present plan includes a smaller district than that covered by the petition which was recently denied by the city trustees. The committee was instructed to render whatever assistance may be considered wise or desirable by those who are in charge of the present plan. In reference to statements recently made in print by "Investor," who carefully conceals his identity, the committee recently appointed to investigate the matters complained of by the unknown fault-finder, presented a lengthy report, reciting the facts and its failure to secure from "Investor" any effort or evidence, to prove his statements correct. The committee's report concludes as follows: "As will be seen from his replies, 'Investor' makes no pretense of answering or substantiating any of the charges spoken of in our letter to him. So we must conclude that, after charging some of the city officers with criminality and making statements injurious to our city, he increased 109, or about 15% the past year, while the creased 153 from 1906 about 35 per cent, from intention to another. Most of those who are going where land is much not because property is value here. As to property value, ter street near the center lot was bought a few $1800 and sold since at Los Angeles street near of town a 45-foot lot was $200 and since then, w 10 feet of this same lot $1000, an increase of a cent.

EDUCATORS EXCHANGE IDEAS SCHOOLMASTERS OF COUNTY AT BANQUENT BOARD Progress and Problems of School Work Discussed—Training for hand and Brain Should Go Together—Teachers Consider Live Topics Connected With Their School Work Replying to one of the old questions in a way that showed original thought rather than familiarity with the catechism, the statement was made by a Fullerton boy as reported by Principal A. L. Vincent of that city’s schools, that “the chief end of man is the one he’s got his head on.” The hearty endorsement of this sentiment by members of the Orange County Schoolmasters’ Club, it should be explained, was given after wants of the inner man had been amply satisfied in their fourth semi-annual banquet, which was enjoyed by leading educators of the county on Friday evening at the Germania cafe in Anaheim. In his opening remarks, after being of its normal capacity, or one plant could furnish 100 per more light and power than it is furnishing; that the water plant furnish about 800 per cent more it is now furnishing, and that pressure is sufficient for domes-e, and that some are complain-cause of too much pressure in the plumbing is old. He also said that should the tank ever fall or be shaken down, the water be furnished consumers just once, as it would then be pumped directly into the mains, as is now on Santa Ana. Find that some people are leaving but that many more are coming than are leaving, as shown by school census and the registered number. The school children have included 109, or about 15 per cent, in last year, while the voters included 153 from 1906 to 1908, or 35 per cent, from one registra-tion another. Of those who are leaving are where land is much cheaper, and because property is declining in there.

An increase of 40 per cent in short time. STOLE THESE POTATOES? Corrosive Sublimate on Them— Are They Eaten or Planted? Nothaf, a well-known potatoeer of the east side, is confronted with a condition and not a theory. As planting a patch of potatoe weeks ago and dipped the soil in a solution of corrosive subsolution, this is not what disturbs the might some person made with five sacks of his best potatoes. Nothaf is asking himself: Did man eat the potatoes, or did he them? Is the man dead, or is severely contented in the contemnial of as fine a patch of spuds. Nothaf has himself? Bably the later, for no cases of being have been reported. Five of potatoes would grace the table for a considerable time, they would likewise be sufficient plant a considerable acreage, did it? The hearty endorsement of this sentiment by members of the Orange County Schoolmasters' Club, it should be explained, was given after wants of the inner man had been amply satisfied in their fourth semi-annual banquet, which was enjoyed by leading educators of the county on Friday evening at the Germania cafe in Anaheim. In his opening remarks, after being introduced as toastmaster by President J. F. Walker, Mr. Vincent expressed his judgment that the schoolmasters' club should be an educational chamber of commerce for the county. The commercial organization does commendable work as a booster for business interests. The teachers should co-operate for the advancement of educational interests, with a purpose to secure for Orange county the best results in school work, and to this end should have the best obtainable in method and equipment. This is a day of organization. Co-operation is necessary for successful enterprise in almost every line. Let the teachers "get together," and with united purpose accomplish greater results than by individual effort. The stamp of this club's influence should be impressed on educational affairs in this county, in the work of which its members are particularly interested. "Then and Now," was responded to by Chas. E. Taylor, principal of the Orange union high school, with a comparison of conditions when he came to the county fourteen years ago and at the present time. Two high schools were then in operation, those at Santa Ana and Fullerton, with a combined attendance of 110 pupils. At Santa Ana the highschool occupied cramped and improvised quarters in the central school building. Its needs were later recognized in the erection of the present well-equipped structure, and provision is being made for more room to meet requirements for the 350 pupils now in attendance and the larger number in prospect. The Fullerton high school now has an attendance of 130 pupils; and instead of two the county now has five prosperous high schools including those at Orange.

Its needs were later recognized in the erection of the present well-equipped structure, and provision is being made for more room to meet requirements for the 350 pupils now in attendance and the larger number in prospect. The Fullerton high school now has an attendance of 130 pupils; and instead of two the county now has five prosperous high schools, including those at Orange, with 185 pupils; Anaheim with 93,and Huntington Beach with 60, making a total high school attendance at present of 818 pupils. Their work has also developed greatly, taking in manual training and other valuable features in the course of study which conditions in the earlier days did not permit. Progress to a similar extent is noted in the grammar and primary schools of the county, but the speaker was unable to secure the figures in reference to them in the limited time at his disposal. In organization, methods pursued and results obtained, however, Orange is abreast of other counties in the state, its standing in the oratorical contests being mentioned as one of the evidences of this fact. For some reasons we like to recall occasionally the "good old times," but there can be no question that "now" is far preferable to "then." Albert M. Shaw, teacher of manual training in Santa Ana high school, spoke briefly of "Polytechnic Progress." In recent years, he said, progress has been great in all channels of human endeavor. It is an age of amazing progress in the direction of harnessing and utilizing nature's forces, yet we are only beginning to (CONCLUDED ON LAST PAGE) DECORATION DAY Program of Exercises at Cemetery Monday Next Following is the official program exercises for Memorial Day, to be held at the cemetery on Monday next, May 31.

This number includes many who are down with the measles and a large number who, having been exposed to the ailment, have been excused. The number will probably be increased before the end of the week. The cases are all so far as reported of mild form, and no untoward results are apprehended. The trouble started ten days ago, when a half dozen children were taken down with illness. It was not at first known that the cases were measles, and in many cases physicians were not called until the end of the week. The cases were promptly diagnosed as measles and proper remedies applied. Ideal weather conditions prevailing render the epidemic comparatively harmless and excellent progress is reported by physicians in almost every case.

REGIMENT ORDERED TO CAMP The Seventh regiment, of which company E, the local organization of California national guard is a member, will go into camp this year from July 20 to 31, either to RedonBeach or Venice. Colonel Schreibof the regiment has not yet decined on the selection of a camp. This will be entirely different from the plan followed in former years, as there will be no general encampment of the national guard of the state. The regiments will camp separately accordance with a policy established in co-operation with the war department. Every two years the state troops go into camp with he bulars for the sudy and practice army maneuvers, which are held Atascadero. Only trained troops anticipated in them and the nationguardsmen who have been in the service under three months are not en in these camps. No recruits, ever, are barred from the reginal camps, even men enlisted to very last day being taken along. Redondo Beach or Venice offer no bounds large enough for regimental maneuvers, and for this reason the camp routine will probably be conned to close order drills, guard mails and the study of camp sanitation. W. T. Wallop and bride returned MISMATED COUPLES Suit was filed for divorce on Tuesday by Mary Gillette against Edmund C. Gillette. E. T. Langley is plaintiff's attorney. Judge West granted a final decree of divorce to Annie L. Flanders from Bradford W. Flanders. In the case of John H. Pope, who is applying for divorce from Alice H. Pope, Judge West heard Mrs. Pope's application for $50 deposition money,$300 attorney fees and $50 a month alimony, pending the action. The court granted the first two requests and took the last under advisement. PENNSYLVANIA PICNIC There will be a picnic of Pennsylvania people next Saturday in Eastlake park, Los Angeles. There are about 10,000 in the southern part of the state, and it is expected there will be a large gathering. There will be addresses by Rev. Charles Edward Locke and others, and Mr. and Mrs. Baker, the blind singers, will help entertain the crowd. The program of sports will include an egg race, three-legged race, sack race and races for fat men and fat women. Pennsylvania buttons will be distributed.
