THEODORE ROBERT $15,000, which amount is used in making one of the payments to Edna Goodrich, according to the settlement entered into between the couple on "You are requested to let your friends know of this so as to insure their attendance, as the committee cannot know of al who will deserve." $15,000, which amount is used in making one of the payments to Edna Goodrich, according to the settlement entered into between the couple on November 11. The first document recorded was one drawn up in London on Aug. 14, 1908, before the marriage. By this document Goodwin transferred to a trustee, T. H. Dudley, of Ocean Park, all of his property in this state, including realty and bonds in San Francisco and realty at Ocean Park. Dudley was instructed to manage the property, and divide the income equally between the two contracting parties. Goodwin and his wife did not get along well together, as everybody knows, for the newspapers of the land from one ocean to the other printed columns of stuff about their separation. In Los Angeles Goodwin brought suit to annual the London document. It was after that that Goodwin, who professionally is Nat Goodwin, but who legally is Nathaniel Carl Goodwin, Jr., entered into an agreement of settlement with Edna Goodrich Goodwin. It is understood that the actress secured deeds to part of the property. That, however, is not shown in the documents filed here. They show that she is to receive $60,000 in cash, of which $5000 is to go to her New York attorneys. These payments are: On Dec. 15, $15,000; on Jan. 16, 1912, $30,000; On April 16, 1912, $15,000. By the agreement Goodwin is to dismiss the suit in Los Angeles, and Mrs. Goodwin relinquishes all claims under the London agreement against Goodwin's property. In order to raise the first $15,000, a mortgage for that amount was given on Dec. 15 to C. T. Crowell. The property mortgaged is the Placentia ranch.

The cottage of Mr. and Mrs. John Hewitt, located in the highway just across the S. P. track from the Crossier lumber yard, Newport Beach, was gutte by fire Sunday morning about 9 o'clock. The shell of the building, a trunk and some of the family lost. It was said there was but little 1 any insurance on the house. Newport people were considerably alarmed when the cry of fire, the shrill whistle of the P. E. car and the screech of the water works siren rang out on the air. The serious fire that consumed the Peabody store and several other buildings er-cently has created a nervous tension that was shown plainly Sunday morning. GERMAN POTATO FAMINE City Council Buying Them by the Carload and Retailing Them to the People A very unusual demand for foreign potatoes has made itself felt in Germany; this importations from all sources during the month of September, 1911 alone having reached 98,083 tons, as against 32,623 tons during the same month of 1910. The official statistics from January 1 to September 30 are as follows: Total import's—1910, 170,871.4 tons; 1911, 311,205.3 tons; total exports—1910, 139,643.9 Sixty-fifth Anniversary of Admission of State ToBe Commemorated A few Iowaans were lunching together recently in Los Angeles and it was suggeste' that it would be a pleasant and appropria' dea for former residents of the oldH awkeye state to take dinner together on the sixty-fifth anniversary of Iowa's Admission Day, December 28th, 1911. A number of our prominent men were consulted and it seemed to meet with hearty pproval. Arrangements have been made to ho'd a banquet at the Westminster Hotel, Los Angeles, on Thursday evening, December 28th, at seven o'clock sharp. The following invitation has been issued: "You are most cordially urged to attend and as we must know in advance how many plates are desired we will ask you to return the card promptly indicating how many tickets are wanted and inclosing your check for same at the rate of one dollar per ticket. As 'he number who can be seated will be limited and as there will be a great demand for tickets, we suggest that you actpromptlyshrdlu et suggest that you act promptly to assure yourself a place. Owing to the limited number who can be served it seems necessary to restrict this banquet to men only, but it is hoped that at a later date arrangements may be made for one or both ladies and gentlemen. The committee has been so fortunate as to secure the ever popular Iowa humorist, Robert Burdette, for toastmaster, and that prince of speakers, Rev. Matt. " Hughes for the principal address of the evening. ANOTHER FIRE IN NEWPORT Home of Mr. and Mrs. John Hewitt Gutted by Flames Yesterday The cottage of Mr. and Mrs. John Hewitt, located in the highway just across the S. P. track from the Crossier lumber yard, Newport Beach, was gutte by fire Sunday morning about 9 o'clock. The shell of the building, a trunk and some of the family clothing were saved. The crew of the Pacific Electric car bound for Santa Ana, saw smoke issuing from the building as the car reached the Twenty-sixth street station, and promptly whistled an alarm, waiting at the station until the citizens were well aroused. The water works siren later joined in the alarm and cries of "Fire" were added to the exciting chorus. One of the new chemical fire engines was used in conjunction with the city water system in putting out the fire, which is thought to have been caused by a blaze started by a two or three year old child of the family playing with matches. It was discovered in a clothes closet, where one of the older children had gone to get ready for Sunday school. He gave the alarm to his mother, who was alone in the house with her four children one of hem a baby, Mr. Hewitt having gone out hunting earlier in the morning. Mrs. Hewitt got the children out of the burning building, dragged out a trunk and saved some clothing before help arrived. Later neighbors took care of Mrs. Hewitt and her children while the men of Newport tried to save the 'little home. A sewing machine which Mrs. Hewitt had just succeeded in paying for was among the most valuable of the furniture. Carload and Retailing Them to the People A very unusual demand for foreign potatoes has made itself felt in Germany, this importations from all sources during the month of September, 1911, alone having reached 98,083 tons, as against 22,623 tons during the same month of 1910. The official statistics from January 1 to September 30, are as follows: Total import's—1910, 170,871.4 tons; 1911, 311,205.3 tons; total exports—1910, 139,643.9 tons; 1911, 248,275 tons; excess of imports—1910, 31,227.5 tons; 1911, 62,-980.3 tons. Wilhel Holland is profiting chiefly by the prevailing conditions, there is a demand for potatoes from all sources, the price and quality being equal. The City Councils of Nuremberg and Fuerth are buying potatoes by the carload and retaining them to the people in fifty and 100-pound lots at cost, the price at which the last lot was distributed in Nuremberg being 85 cents per 100 pounds. The Councils of hundreds of cities all over Germany are doing the same. The potato is a most important food staple in Germany, but this year's crop was the poorest in many seasons, scarcely more than half a normal crop, and long before the new crop was on the market, prices began to advance. They the municipalities took a hand and everywhere brought about a drop of 25 to-50 per cent in prices. This situation illustrates an admirable phase of German municipal administration. City Councils are authorized to do almost anything which they may regard as necessary for the well-being of the people, and they often make use of such authority. They may and often do open markets for vegetables, buy and slaughter stock, establish fish markets, operate MAS TO ALL have something of real value.

Such actions is invariably to prevent the unnatural raising of prices or foodstuffs through combinations of dealers, or to maintain reasonable prices when natural causes have apparently stamped the regular dealers in such products. City Councils are professional administrators, with practically life tenure, of office, and are not engaged in private business. The importance of the potato in the food and fodder economics of Germany is readily seen in the fact that 8,000,000 to 9,000,000 acres about 12½ per cent of the total area of arable land in the empire, are annually planted to potatoes and that an average good crop totals something over 50,000,000 tons. About 50 per cent of this crop is used for food and the greater part of the other ha' is converted into alcohol. We have a full line of hay, grain, wood and coal. W. E. Duckworth.
