CHRISTMAS EXERCISES Little Folks Enjoy Afternoon in Santa Claus Celebration Appropriate Christmas exercises were held by the little folks of the primary school on the last day before the beginning of the mid-winter vacation. The following program was given by students of the school: 1. "Santa Claus Comes Creeping," song by second grade. 2. "'Twas the Night Before Christmas,' first grade, six little folks in nightgown and pajamas. This was followed by song "Santa Claus Will Come Tonight." 3. Christmas dialogue, first grade. Song—"Hark the Hoof Upon the Shingles" and "Arrival of Santa Claus." During this number, carol singers outside the room, according to the old English custom, were singing "Hark! the Herald Angels Sing, While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks." 4. Star drill by 16 second grade girls, in white dresses, and carrying stars, wands and smilax. The children were then told to go to sleep, and while they had their eyes closed, the Christmas tree was brought in. When the children opened their eyes and beheld the tree they burst into prolonged applause. Then followed a dance about the tree, while the school sang, "Around the Xmas Tree." Candy and oranges were then given to all the children, two boxes of oranges having been donated for the occasion by the Anaheim Orange Growers' Association. Following this, the rooms were opened for inspection by the parents, a number of whom were in attendance upon the exercises. Much of the children's work was exhibited on the walls of PLANS FOR TEACHING FARMERS Government Will Expend Vast Sums For Improvement of Agriculture The federal government will expend about $125,000 this fiscal year in promoting the cause of better farm management, through the medium of county agents, who will impart instruction directly to the farmers and to farmers' organizations. Such expenditure has been assured by a provision in the agricultural appropriation bill which allows $300,000 for farm management purposes. A part of this sum will be used in pursuing the farm management investigations of which William J. Spillman has charge. Mr. Spillman, under whose division in the bureau of plant industry the direction of farm management matters falls, estimates that about $125,000 will be available for the employment of agents in various counties and for the organization needed to make the work of these agents effective. Farm management efforts of the department of agriculture have thus far not been of a nature to bring the farmers of the country and the farm management experts of the department in close touch. But a new order of things is at hand. Plans are being perfected that will eventually result in the best expert advice of the department on practical problems of farm management being given to farmers in many counties directly. What is going to be done by the government this year is only a beginning. Next year, there is good reason to believe congress will largely increase the amount allowed for the spread of instruction and suggestion as to farm management. That the government will soon be paying out a million dollars a year for this purpose is not only possible but probable. Two Young Mony in Th Miss Ethel W. Ford wrote of the bride's P.

By opening the way for direct dealing between the consumer and the producer and eliminating the profit-absorbing middleman, the service is expected to aid materially in the cutting of household bills. Perishable articles may be sent through the mails, but only under specific restrictions as to their containers and the distance they are to be sent. Butter, lard, fish, fresh meats, dressed fowls, vegetables, fruits, berries and similar articles likely to quickly decay may be sent for short distances when securely packed. Eggs will be accepted for local delivery when packed properly in a container, and for any distance when each egg is separately packed in a perfectly secure manner. No restriction is placed on the mailing of salted, dried, smoked or cured meats, but fresh meat will be transported only within the first zone. Fragile articles, including millinery, toys, musical instruments and articles of glass in whole or in part, must be securely packed and marked "Fragile." BEGUN A YEAR AGO San Diego Making Steady Headway For Exposition in 1915 San Diego, Cal., Dec. 24.—Just a year ago the work of building the exposition to be held here in 1915 was begun, and the year has been one of steady progress and great achievement. Today the grounds are not particularly attractive to visitors except in that they give a fair conception of what is to be when the exposition opens. A whole year has been given to preliminary work, and paving the way for actual construction, which will begin early in 1913. Streets, boulevards, and walks have been graded, roughly, the sites of exposition buildings leveled, foundations placed for several of these structures, a substantial beginning made on the erection of the great bridge that will span the Canyon de Cabrillo, and a start made toward the wonderful embellishment of the park and exposition grounds by the planting of thousands of trees of hundreds of varieties. The largest nurseries in the state have been established and in these a million and a half specimens of horticulture and floriculture are growing, later to be transplanted to points about the grounds. Dams and spillways for the lagoons have been constructed, and the accomplishments of the year have realized the plans of the exposition management to be ready for a year of building activities in 1913. There need be no delay in the erection of any expert advice of the department on practical problems of farm management being given to farmers in many counties directly. What is going to be done by the government this year is only a beginning. Next year, there is good reason to believe congress will largely increase the amount allowed for the spread of instruction and suggestion as to farm management. That the government will soon be paying out a million dollars a year for this purpose is not only possible but probable. The plan is for the federal government to pay half the salary and expenses of the agent for each county. The other half is to be raised locally. That is, while the government will have about $125,000 to spend for this purpose between now and next June 30th, the end of the fiscal year, the fact that an equal sum will be raised in the different counties that want agents will bring the total expenditure for the promotion of farm management advice and instruction up to $250,000.

Eggs will be accepted for local delivery when packed properly in a container, and for any distance when each egg is separately packed in a perfectly secure manner. No restriction is placed on the mailing of salted, dried, smoked or cured meats, but fresh meat will be transported only within the first zone.

Permitted in Mall Articles that may not be sent by parcels post include intoxicating liquors of all kinds; poisons, poisonous animals, insects or reptiles; explosives of every kind; inflammable articles, including matches; infernal machines; pistols or revolvers; obscene, defamatory or scurrilous matter now prohibited by law; live or dead animals, or birds or live poultry, or anything having a bad odor. Books and printed matter may not be forwarded at parcels post rates, but only at the pound rates of third-class matter. A committee of railroad officials recently petitioned the house postoffice committee for a rearrangement of weighing and pay for transporting mails. The railroad men set out that they did not anticipate carrying the parcels post when their present contracts were made and declared that as a matter of contract they were not obliged to accept packages weighing more than four pounds.

The largest nurseries in the state have been established and in these a million and a half specimens of horticulture and floriculture are growing, later to be transplanted to points about the grounds. Dams and spillways for the lagoons have been constructed, and the accomplishments of the year have realized the plans of the exposition management to be ready for a year of building activities in 1913. There need be no delay in the erection of any county, state or national building due to unpreparedness of the exposition management. The ground work is complete, the foundation laid, and construction work next year may proceed with the greatest expedition. During the year the foundation for the Southern California counties was laid, and superstructure construction may begin at any time. These counties are exhibiting the finest interest in the exposition and are working harmoniously in the preparation of exhibits that will be elaborate and complete, and seeking into every portion of their confines for material with which to demonstrate their resources and methods and processes. The Board of Supervisors last week opened bids for the $50,000 bond issue of the Fullerton Union High School district, and sold them to the highest bidder, Torrance, Marshall Company, on a premium of $757. Other bids were: E. H. Rollins & Son, $715; N. W. Halsey & Co., $267; Wm. R. Staats Co., $106. Theodore Roberts' new street clock has been given a coating of gold leaf and presents a new and attractive appearance. Mr. Roberts has gone to much trouble and expense to install this clock and get it in good running order, and has manifested great faith in the city in so doing. ANAHEIM GAZETTE FORD-SQUIER NUPTIALS Two Young People Joined in Matrimony in This City Christmas Day Miss Ethel Stella Squier and Sylvester W. Ford were married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Squier, on West South street yesterday at noon. Rev. Thurston, of Santa Ana, performed the ceremony, which was witnessed by a large number of friends, one hundred invitations having been sent out for the occasion. Frank Ford, of Loma Linda, a cousin of he groom, stood up with him as best man, and Miss Maude Squier, sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid. Little Misses Frances and Fern Murch were flower girls. The wedding march from Wagner was played by Miss Almina Squier, sister of the bride. The wedding occurred in the parlor of Mr. and Mrs. Squier's new home, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion with greenery and flowers. The bride wore a dress of white messaline entrain, while the groom was dressed in conventional black. After the ceremony, a five-course wedding luncheon was served, which was partaken of by about 60 friends and relatives of the high contracting parties. In the afternoon the newly wedded couple took the train for Los Angeles and near-by coast points, where a honeymoon trip of several days will be enjoyed. Upon their return here, Mr. and Mrs. Ford will remain at the Squier residence for some weeks, and will be at home at Pullman, Wash., after March 1, 1913. Mr. Ford is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Ford, of Pullman, Wash., and is a young man of sterling worth of character. He is engaged in ranching on a large scale in the northern state, having 800 acres of grain and fruit land under cultivation. On this tract, he ROYAL BAKING POWDER Adds Healthful Qualities to the Food Prof. Prescott, of the University of Michigan, testified before the Pure Food Committee of Congress, that the acid of grapes held highest rank as an article of food and he regarded the results from baking with cream of tartar baking powder as favorable to health.

Upon their return here, Mr. and Mrs. Ford will remain at the Squier residence for some weeks, and will be at home at Pullman, Wash., after March 1, 1913. Mr. Ford is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Ford, of Pullman, Wash., and is a young man of sterling worth of character. He is engaged in ranching on a large scale in the northern state, having 800 acres of grain and fruit land under cultivation. On this tract, he and his bride expect to take up their residence in the new year. Mr. Ford, however, is much pleased with this country, and expresses the opinion that they may decide to return here and take up their permanent residence in this favored section. Miss Squier, the bride, is a young lady of refinement and accomplishment. She came here from Minnesota with her parents two years ago and has made many friends in this city who join in wishing the newly wedded pair a long continued and happy life together. RECIRES AFTER LONG SERVICE Joseph Helmsen Served 19 Years as Secretary of Masonic Lodge Anaheim Lodge, No. 207, F. and A. M., at its meeting on Monday evening elected the following officers to serve the ensuing year: William Falkenstein, Worshipful Master; Chas. Eygabroad, Senior Warden; M. W. Martenet, Junior Warden; Wm. Chambers, Secretary; Chas. A. Boege, Treasurer. These officers will be installed at the January meeting, when the lodge's appointive officers will be announced. Mr. Chambers succeeds Joseph Helmsen as secretary, the latter retiring after an honorable service of 19 years. Regret is expressed at Mr. Helmsen's declination to continue in office but owing to a multiplicity of business engagements, he finds it impossible so to do. He has been the guide, counselor and friend of Masonic brethren for these 19 years, having the business of the lodge ever at his fingers' end, and few men in the state have given longer or more unremitting service to any lodge. A vote of thanks for his distinguished service will probably be adopted at a future meeting. Mr. Chambers, who succeeds him, is qualified in many ways to assume the duties of the important position. BAKERY IN NEW BUILDING B. Jensen Occupies Quarters in Recently Erected Structure B. Jensen has moved his bakery into BIDS FOR MACHINERY HALL San Francisco Fair to Have Notable List of Structures Bids will be received for the construction of the Machinery Hall of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition on December 28th and ground will be broken for the immense structure at Harbor View on New Year's day. The specifications cover 100 pages and there are 24 blue prints, measuring four to six feet long. The interior arrangement consists of three great naves 75 feet in width and over 900 feet in length, rising to a height of over 100 feet above the floor, producing a very dignified effect. It is expected that this structure will be completed at least a year and a half before the opening of the exposition, which will allow more than ample time for the installation of exhibits. The floor area of the building is over eight acres, nearly six times as large as the old Mechanics Pavilion of San Francisco formerly located at Larkin, Hayes and Grove streets, which will be remembered as being a very large building. For purposes of comparison it may be stated that the length of the building will be equal to the distance between the Claus Spreckles' building and the Metropolis Bank building on Market street—this space includes both streets as well as the Hearst building, the Monadock building and the Palace Hotel building. There will be over a mile and a half of ornamental cornices on this building. The Machinery Hall will be notable by reason of the fact that it is the greatest example of frame construction and engineering ever attempted on the Pacific Coast. Director of Exhibits, Asher Carter Baker, has authorized George C. Roeding, chief of the department of horticulture, to announce that a $1,000.00 trophy will be offered for the creation of a new rose to be exhibited here in 1915 and to be named in honor of the exposition. Roeding, discussing the plan of having the Rosarians of the world compete, states: "This ought to be one of the great features of our horticultural display. It is possible, with our favorable climatic conditions, to plant roses far in advance of the opening of the exposition. Nothing would add so much to the attractiveness of our outdoor display during the height of the exposition as a large plot of roses loaded with bloom." Sam Davis, editor of the Carson Appeal, Harvey Dale, a well known hotel (Continued from page 1) We do not hesitate to say that the Anaheim merchants are the most progressive of any that it has ever been our lot to meet up with, and in dealing with them, the buyer is sure of getting a square deal and the best goods for the least money to be had anywhere. The Christmas shopping season is over for this year, but buying goes on the year round, and it will be money in the pocket of the buyer to remember that in Anaheim are to be found some of the largest and best stocked stores in the county, and for the size of the town, in the state; and money spent here will stay here, and not go away to other cities, where it will not ever have a chance to "come back" into the pocket of the spender. Always remember and obey the slogan: "Trade at Home." S. M. Griffith, of Los Angeles, superintendent of the Fairchild-Gilmore-Wilton Paving Company, was in town this week looking up the paving situation. Mr. Griffith states his company will submit a bid for paving streets in this city when the work is taken up next summer, and adds that the excellent paving already done here merits a continuation of the same class of good work. His firm will be ready to submit an extremely low bid, for the high-class of paving desired, for he realizes the contract will be sought after by many paving companies throughout the State. A. L. Thompson, representing the Southern California Music Company, was in town last week from Santa Ana. Mr. Thompson states his company will next week transfer its headquarters from Santa Ana to this city. He has a stock of pianos on the cars en route here, and the same will probably be placed on display at an early date. L. O. Culp of the L. A. Evans Real Estate Company, left for his old home in Eureka, Ill., Friday morning upon receipt of advices that his aged father was in very poor health. He expects to be gone two weeks and will combine pleasure and business. BAKERY IN NEW BUILDING B. Jensen Occupies Quarters in Recently Erected Structure B. Jensen has moved his bakery into the building recently erected for him on West Center street, at a cost of seven hundred dollars, and claims it to be the largest, cleanest and best bakery in the county. Everything new has been put in, and the entire premises present a neat and attractive appearance. The name, Old Anaheim Bakery, has been discarded and the establishment will hereafter be known as Jensen's bakery. New counters, shelves and new baking facilities have been added to the bakery's equipment, and it is enjoying an excellent trade in bread, cakes, pastry and candies. A line of canned goods has also been added for the convenience of customers. Mr. Jensen has been in the baking business for over 20 years and knows the ins and outs of the trade from start to finish. He says he now has the best bakery in the county and will prove it to anyone who cares to investigate. R. Jansen has moved to San Diego, where he has established one of the largest and best-stocked cigar stores on Fifth street. Mr. Jansen is one of the most widely known cigar dealers on the Coast, having been for years manager of the largest tobacco establishment in San Francisco. He enjoys a wide measure of popularity throughout the State, and will doubtless make a success of his venture in the southern city. Success to him. Sam Davis, editor of the Carson Appeal, Harvey Dale, a well known hotel man of San Francisco and Captain A. W. Lewis, who was director of concessions at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition at Seattle and who was in charge of the Boer War spectacle at the St. Louis exposition, have been granted the "Forty-nine Camp" concession at the exposition. This is a $100,000 enterprise and promises to be a feature of the coming world's fair. On entering the camp the visitor will be driven up the mountain side, and have the thrill of being held up by bandits. He can also pan for Nevada diamonds and dig for gold and also participate in the multitude of attractions that are being prepared for this great occasion. On the right side of the main entrance to the "Forty-nine Camp" will be reproduced a log cabin postoffice after the style of those in vogue in '49. Here will be established the camp terminus of the pony express route, which will be operated between the camp and Sacramento. Postal cards, letters, souvenir packages and other mail matters will be forwarded via the pony express from this terminus to Sacramento. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Middleham, of San Jose, arrived in the city Sunday evening and are spending the holidays with Mrs. Middlehan's parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. Nelson at their home on West Broadway.

"Mort" is a good fellow, is well liked about town, knows all there is to be known about automobiles, and will doubtless make a marked success of his sales position. He claims his car to be the easiest riding on the market and says he will prove it to anyone who doubts his word. He is also at present bending his energies upon the sale of the famous Colby, a consignment of which arrived last week and have since been on the salesroom floor at the garage on South Los Angeles street. The motor of the Colby is claimed to be the acme of perfection and will stand up under all sorts of rough treatment. The Oakland also has the motor, and the difference of $350 in price is largely spent on finish, the car being claimed to be the most comfortable auto on the market.
