CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIAL Interesting Meeting at Home of Mr. and Mrs. Ashley The Christian Endeavor Society of the Presbyterian Church met Friday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ashley for the monthly business and social meeting. A goodly number of young people were present and a number of important items of business were transacted. Among these were the election of Mr. Ashley as vice president to fill vacancy, the pledging for mission, state and floating works, the decision to purchase a wall clock for the Sunday school room, and the formation of a mission study class. The amounts pledged were considerably larger than that for last year. Ten of those present expressed their desire to form a study club, meeting one evening a week or on Sunday. Several new members were received and some members were transferred from the associate to the active list. Business being concluded a social hour followed during which Mrs. Ashley served dainty refreshments, consisting of Marguerites, fruitade, delicious home-made marshmallows, and stuffed dates. All felt that the absent members had missed a meeting both profitable and pleasant. This society holds its devotional meetings Sunday evenings at 6.45 o'clock.

HIS FIFTIETH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED J. C. Cordis Passes the Half Century Mark Amid Friends and Pleasures Two Anaheim tally-ho loads, fifty or a hundred automobile loads and numerous carriage and buggy loads of friends of J. C. Cordis journeyed to the Orange County Park last Sunday to properly commemorate that gentleman's fiftieth birthday anniversary.

There was singing and speech-making, tempting vials and refreshing drinks, all of which made the day pass all too quickly. The list of invited friends that responded is entirely too large for The Gazette to publish. Suffice it to say that there were many from Anaheim, some from Santa Ana, Orange and Fullerton, and other nearby places. In all probably 200 friends enjoyed the pleasures of the occasion, and before returning to their homes in the evening all joined in wishing Mr. Cordis many happy returns of the day.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE GARAGE WILL SOON BE READY Anaheim Motor Company's Building Nearing Completion and Business Will Soon Be Commenced It will only be a matter of a short time now until the Anaheim Motor Co.'s big garage on South Los Angeles street will be completed and in active operation. This corporation, of which R. W. Jackson is president, F. M. Jackson vice-president, and John P. Ogle secretary and treasurer, comes to Anaheim from Mason City, Iowa, and starts out under the most flattering prospects for gigantic success. The Colby car, which is made at Mason City, has not heretofore been properly represented on this coast on account of the factory being unable to supply this trade, but now they have doubled their capacity and the Anaheim Motor company will act as distributor and place the cars in any quantity. The first consignment of cars is scheduled to arrive this week and will be placed on exhibition at John W. Dickinson's garage adjoining the new building. The new garage, which will be 50 x154 feet in dimensions, and complete in every detail, will be under the supervision of Mr. Dickenson, thus insuring the best of service. The machine shop equipment will be of the very best, a full line of supplies carried and a ladies' rest room of inviting appearance provided, in fact it will be one of the largest and most complete establishments of its kind in Southern California.

E. —Barbecue A petition signed by residents of Stanton has been prepared for presentation to the board of trustees, asking them to confer with the Pacific Electric railway company regarding a reduction of fares within the town. Stanton is seeking five-cent fares, a passenger and freight depot and an equalization of fares between Los Angeles and various stations within the city of Stanton. The chamber of commerce committees, having in charge the annual banquet, are arranging for a booster trip through nearby cities in Orange county so as to call attention to the annual barbecue and festival, which is to be held on May 23. The boosters will go in two or three autos to Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, and possibly other places, distributing programs for the celebration, and other literature regarding Stanton. The Methodist Episcopal church congregation has purchased lots 15 and 16 in block 8 of the townsite, being the southwest corner of Clair avenue and Court street. These lots will give a frontage of ninety feet on Court by 137 1-2 on Clair, and the church edifice now located on corner of Clair and Magnolia streets will be moved to the new location, and considerably improved. F. B. Solida, a recent arrival from Oklahoma, has bought lot 7, in block 8, and expects to commence the erection of his home thereon in a few days. Harry Hairston of Los Angeles has bought lot 8, block 8, on Court street, and has come to Stanton to establish himself as a contracting SEASON'S CELERY SHIPMENTS Some interesting figures about the season's celery crop have been given out. The first shipment was made October 26, 1911, and the last March 30, 1912. Forty cars of green tops were shipped and 870 cars of golden heart, total 910 cars. The total net amount received by growers was $393,155,211. The prices were from 15 to 60 cents a dozen. The celery growers outside of the association probably received $50,000 which would bring the Orange county crop up to $450,000. Indications are that the celery acreage will be much less this year, some of the growers having planted beets. NEW BANK PROGRESSING The masons are making good progress with the erection of Anaheim's third bank building on West Center street, across from the postoffice. The white-faced brick being laid in front will give the structure an imposing frontage. The second story is now being rapidly run up and the brick vault being put in. The Gazette hopes to give a more extensive account of this new enterprise in its next issue. A social event of the near future is a library benefit which is to be given under the patronage of the Assembly Club on Friday evening, May 24.

The guests, of which four hundred are expected, are to dress to represent characters in books or the titles of books. Admission will be by invitation. A forty-five minute program of musical numbers will be rendered. This will be followed by dancing.

M. Skinner & Son, Reo Agents for Northern Orange County Having the auto fever I visited several different firms who showed me the real good things about each. After careful judgment I decided to invest in a 5 passenger Reo. Never sitting behind a wheel before, I took my first lesson and after driving 200 miles by the spedometer, loaded in my trunk and pharaphernalia, which weighed about 400 pounds, and my wife and I started out of Sacramento for Los Angeles, fording rivers, climbing mountains, driving through deep sands and reached Los Angeles without a dollar of expense to the machine excepting gas. Sometimes I would go as far as 70 miles on 4 gallons. I have no rake off to get for writing this statement, other than that I am better satisfied than ever with the car. Very respectfully, F. L. Smith. (Stopping with F. A. Cotter, Fullerton.) DEATH OF MRS. LEE Mother of Well-Known Citizen, Passes to Final Rest Mrs. Harriet M. Lee died at the home of her son, Fred W.
