AUSTRALIAN BEEF CUTS HIGH COST OF LIVING LARGE SHIPMENT REACHES LOS ANGELES, SOLD AT 30 PER CENT LESS PREVAILING PRICES INITIAL SHIPMENT FROM ANTI-PODES WILL BE FOLLOWED BY REGULAR IMPORTATION A consignment of 100,000 pounds of Australian beef, one-fourth of the shipment that reached San Francisco on the steamer Tahiti Friday from Sydney, arrived in Los Angeles Saturday and was this week sold to consumers at from 15 to 30 per cent below prevailing prices. The delivery marks the first installment of Australian meat in the United States and will be followed by cargoes as frequently as the steamship schedules permit. Los Angeles butchers predict that the sale of Australian meats will in a large measure reduce the high cost of living and that if the New South Wales cattlemen could produce steaks that were as tender and juicy as home grown cattle the demand for Australian meat would far exceed the supply. In the refrigerator cars that reached Los Angeles there were a few hundred pounds of mutton and sheep which were sent along as "samples." If these meats test up right future shipments will include beef, mutton and lamb. J. C. Lenk of the Newmarket Company, which concern is receiving the first consignment from New South Wales, said that he had already received orders for a large amount of the shipment and regretted that transportation facilities limited the market people in the United States. We are sending much of the English supply to London, which is 6,000 miles further from our country than California. I believe that the day is not far distant when the steamship facilities between Australia and the Pacific Coast will be increased, and when that time arrives the beef trusts in America will have to quit robbing the people or compete with the Australian cattlemen. "The whole northern section of Australia is especially adapted for cattle raising, and is now in its undeveloped state. The Australian people will enlarge the cattle ranching business just as rapidly as the demand catches up with the supply. I am to return to report to my government most satisfying conditions. I am sure that when the people of California once taste of our meats they will demand more." Orange county will be in market for a portion of this Australian beef, as purchasers of meat have become tired of paying the high prices made necessary by extortionate charges imposed by Los Angeles wholesalers. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR WORK PROGRESSING A Million and a Quarter Pieces of Advertising Literature Circulated In preparation for the great International Christian Endeavor convention to be held in Los Angeles from July 9 to 14, a million and a quarter pieces of literature advertising Southern California and the convention have been circulated. This is a record unequaled by any convention. At least 40,000 delegates are expected to be present at this convention, which will probably be the greatest ever held in Los Angeles. A corps of 750 pages and guides is being organized for use at the convention. They will be stationed at every railroad station and meeting place to guide and assist delegates. A huge choir is being trained in three sections at Los Angeles, Pasadena and Long Beach, under the direction of L. F. Peckham. The entire choir will consist of 750 voices. Prof. Percy Foster of Washington University. IN AND ABOUT MONEY FOR GOOD FUNDS County Treasurer received a check on H.

If these meats test up right future shipments will include beef, mutton and lamb. J. C. Lenk of the Newmarket Company, which concern is receiving the first consignment from New South Wales, said that he had already received orders for a large amount of the shipment and regretted that transportation facilities limited the market supply. "I know nothing about the quality of the Australian meats, but I am informed that they are just as good as we raise in this country. If that proves to be true, and we can continue buying at the figures quoted in the first shipment, the cost of meat in places that will be fortunate enough to get supplied will be very materially lowered. I am going to wait and let the people of Los Angeles judge for themselves. This installment will be placed upon the market at from 15 to 30 per cent cheaper than the present prices." Trade Commissioner Quinn, representing the New South Wales government, returned to San Francisco, having completed his business arrangements in the south. The commissioner explained that Australia was an overproduction country so far as cattle raising was concerned and he predicted that with the opening of the Panama Canal the shipping facilities would be increased between Australia and California ports. "We have but 5,000,000 people in our country and can raise enough cattle to supply the needs of the 95,000,000 people Graduation Presents That are Serviceable PARKER'S Non-Leak Guaranteed PREPARING FOR TROUBLE There is a tendency among some of us to spend as fast as we obtain; to take no thought of the morrow. Almost inevitably it brings suffering. The profligate of the present is the pauper of the future. The man who has no sickness in his family, no reverses in his business, no interruption in his income, is experiencing life at par. He is getting the full 100 per cent. But 100 per cent isn't the average. Somebody is having trouble. Disease and death are creeping into some men's homes, disaster into some men's business. Ultimately it is pretty certain, by the great law of averages, to hit us somewhere. The man who is experiencing none of these troubles is both lucky and exceptional. The exception is a poor thing to bet on. A corps of 750 pages and guides is being organized for use at the convention. They will be stationed at every railroad station and meeting place to guide and assist delegates. A huge choir is being trained in three sections at Los Angeles, Pasadena and Long Beach, under the direction of L. F. Peckham. The entire choir will consist of 750 voices. Prof. Percy Foster of Washington, D. C., will have charge of congregational singing. An idea of the magnitude of the convention can be gained from the fact that it will require 75 persons to direct the pages and guides in their work, conduct registration and other committees. The main session of the convention will be held in a large tent to be erected in Fiesta Park, which will be known as "Auditorium Endeavor." This tent will seat 10,000 persons and will have platform room for the monster chorus, the orchestra and 200 speakers and officers. The headquarters for the officers of the World's Union will be at the Alexandria hotel. State and foreign delegations will have headquarters at the tent. Twenty of the largest churches of the city, including Temple Auditorium, have been engaged for convention meetings. Toronto, Canada, wants the convention in 1915 and is coming to Los Angeles with 500 delegates and has already engaged a special train. Orange county Endeavorers, including those from Anaheim, are planning to attend en masse. Three songs and four yells have been written especially for their use at the convention. They will all wear an orange colored felt badge in the shape of an orange and appropriately lettered, thus furnishing an advertisement for the county to the many Easterners who will attend the convention. Altogether a big time is looked forward to, and one of the largest conventions ever held in Los Angeles will assemble there in July. After one of the contests in the Oregon D.

If there is any way you can, by denying yourself a little luxury, by using a little foresight even at a sacrifice, you ought to prepare for that time when the great law of averages hits you. When that time comes if it finds you in your own home, with a little money in the bank or in some safe investment, you won't have to suffer or to ask from those who have shown more sense. You will have saved both your independence and your self-respect. You will be able to take the comfort that you ought to have, to do well by yourself under adverse circumstances. You are living in the sunlight now. Would you be ready for the night if it should come? And don't you think it likely it will come? Cause and Effect A mouse as timid as the rest of his kind went frisking around a cellar and came to a pool made by a leak in a whiskey barrel. He drank a little from the pool and went away. Then he came back and drank a little more. This operation he repeated for a half dozen times. The last time he sat on his haunches, glared around and said, "Now show me that cat." INA AND ABOUT COUNTY Money For Good Roads County Treasurer Joplin this week received a check of $88,689.35 from J. H. Rollins & Sons of Los Angeles in payment for 85 good roads bonds. Of the amount received $956.25 is accrued interest and $2,733.10 premium. This is the second installment of bonds asked for and received by the buyers. The first batch was 301 $1,000 bonds. So far the highway fund has received about $400,000. Asks For Letters Elmie F. Boatman has asked for letters on the estate of her husband, Harry J. Boatman who died at La Habra on September 2, 1912, leaving an estate worth $10,000 in this county. Under the will, written on August 1, 1901, $1,000 will go to a daughter, Nana B. Moore, and $1,000 to a son, Harry F. Boatman both of Los Angeles, and the remainder of the estate to the widow. Ten Knife Wounds in Back Rather gaunt from a siege in bed as the result of ten stabs in the back, Vicente Triana last week identified five men as having had part in the attack upon him. He said that some of them held him while others stabbed him, and but for the timely arrival of Constable Clark undoubtedly they would have killed him. Ben and Francisco Aguilar, Soto Amarilla, Juan Martinez and Alessandro Sanchez were held to answer on the charge of attempting to kill Triana. A sixth defendant, whose name sounds like Juliet Romeo, was allowed to go. Married at Santa Ana, Divorced “There goes another of those Santa Ana marriages to pieces,” exclaimed Judge Monroe in the Los Angeles superior court the other day, as Mrs. Caroline Phillips left his court room with a decree of divorce from Walter J. Phillips. The testimony showed that the pair had eloped to Santa Ana in 1907 and that while Phillips was employed in a sweet shop his married Suit to Quiet Title Suit to quiet title to five acres of land was begun on Monday by C. C. Marden and others against T. A. Winbigler of the estate of Mrs. C. W. Marden. Orange Boy Receives Appointment Roy Campbell, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Campbell, of Orange, and an honored member of this year’s graduating class at the University of California, has been appointed as assistant entomologist on the staff at the state university. This is a worthy recognition of Campbell’s ability as he finished a four-year course in three years. He was a graduate of the Orange high school in the class of '09. Orange Grower Gets Verdict E. H. Verrill, orange buyer, failed to show up for the trial of the suit brought against him in the superior court on Monday morning by R. W. Jones, orange grower of El Modena, but that did not prevent the trial of the case. Jones gave testimony showing that he delivered oranges to Verrill for which he had not been paid, and Judge West gave Jones judgment for $330. Verrill could not be found by his attorney, but the attorney appeared and tried the case without his client. Mrs. Northam Sued For $15,000 A $15,000 damage suit has been filed at Bakersfield against Mrs. Leoti K. Northam, of Los Angeles, widow of the late R. J. Northam, formerly of this city, by Mrs. Elizabeth M. Henderson, an aged woman, and her husband, John M. Henderson. The suit is the result of an accident on the evening following the recent automobile races at Bakersfield, when Mrs. Northam’s big racing Simplex was on the way back to Los Angeles, driven by her chauffeur, Omar Toft. Mrs. Northam was not in the car, according to report. The complainant states the automobile came tearing down the road four miles south of Bakersfield regardless of the speed laws, being driven in a wild and reckless manner and creating so much noise from gasoline explosions and causing such a cloud of dust and smoke as to frighten a horse drawing a buggy in which were seated Mr. and Mrs. Henderson; that the horse became unmanageable, dashed into a telegraph pole and upset the buggy, spilling the occupants onto the road; that Parsons’ garage at Orange when suddenly he was enveloped in flames. He ran wildly north along the street, screaming. He was caught with difficulty, and part of the burning clothes were torn off of him and the flames remaining upon him were quickly smothered. The can of gasoline was thrown by Zenia Watson of Olive. Reese Williams of El Modena rode his motorcycle into the garage, and with Watson was engaged in filling the tank with gasoline. Thoughtlessly, the door of the motorcycle lamp was left open. The fumes from the gasoline caught afire in that flame and in an instant the motorcycle tank had exploded and the can in Watson’s hand was blazing. In the glare Watson could not see that there was anyone standing in the door. He attempted to throw the blazing mass into the street. The can-struck young Claypool and the contents went over him. The burns on the boy’s body extend from head to foot. His arms seem to have been damaged more deeply than other parts of his body. Zenia Watson, who threw the gasoline upon young Claypool, feels the shock terribly. His suffering is pitiable. The boy was the son of D. E. Claypool. Remember there is one big difference between Anaheim and all other towns: This town is where you live. Back East Excursions ON SALE May 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 28, 30, 31.

SAMPLE FARES Chicago ... $72.50 Married at Santa Ana, Divorced “There goes another of those Santa Ana marriages to pieces,” exclaimed Judge Monroe in the Los Angeles superior court the other day, as Mrs. Caroline Phillips left his court room with a decree of divorce from Walter J. Phillips. The testimony showed that the pair had eloped to Santa Ana in 1907 and that while Phillips was employed in a sweet shop his married life had been anything but sweet. “We fought about nearly everything,” he told Judge Monroe. “Whatever I wanted to do it seemed that she wanted to do just the opposite thing.” Mrs. Phillips charged desertion. Choked by Beer Bottle A large gray pelican was picked up dead at Newport Beach Friday with a white aper beer bottle tightly wedged in its throat. The pelican was seen coming from the direction of Huntington Beach and from its manner of flight was evidently in great distress. It was seen to plunge in the surf and when it did not arise again R. J. Shafer, a fisherman, waded in and brought the bird ashore. It was quite dead and the bottle with the small end down was dislodged with difficulty. The bird evidently saw the bottle floating on the water and, mistaking it for a fish, swooped down on it only to have the bottle slip down its throat and choke it to death. The bird was secured by a Newport real estate firm and its wings cut off to adorn the walls of the office. Mrs. Taylor Wins Lawsuit After one of the longest-drawn-out contests in the Oregon courts, Charles D. Taylor, millionaire mining operator, of San Francisco, was ordered by the court at Oregon City to pay to his divorced wife $2,500 attorneys' fees, $3,000 for a surgical operation which was performed during the time she was contesting the divorce case and $5,655 for “incidental” expenses, such as railroad fare, etc., to fight the action. Mrs. Taylor is now residing in Santa Ana. Taylor married his wife in Portland in 1909, but met her in a San Francisco restaurant. He says in his answer in the suit that she was a friend of gamblers. On August 17, 1911, Judge Eakin ordered the default opened and permitted the wife to file an answer to the charges. This she did, setting forth a general denial, and asked for $7,000 attorneys' fees and $2,500 monthly alimony. December 7, 1911, Judge Eakin allowed Mrs. Taylor $500 attorneys' fees. Since that time the case has been much in the courts, the wife filing a cross-complaint and the complainant states the automobile came tearing down the road four miles south of Bakersfield regardless of the speed laws, being driven in a wild and reckless manner and creating so much noise from gasoline explosions and causing such a cloud of dust and smoke as to frighten a horse drawing a buggy in which were seated Mr. and Mrs. Henderson; that the horse became unmanageable, dashed into a telegraph pole and upset the buggy, spilling the occupants onto the road; that Mrs. Henderson has since been confined to her bed as a result of the fall she sustained. Mrs. Northam's big Simplex racer was to have been entered in a special 50-mile race April 27 for a purse of $5,000, but at the last moment the fair motorist withdrew her entry. It was after the day's races and the car had started for Los Angeles that the accident occurred. Preacher Victim of Swindle Rev. B. C. Cory, pastor of the Methodist church at Orange, was one of the victims of a swindler just arrested at Kansas City. He cashed a $100 money order and gave the money to the young man on March 6. The young man, Frank P. Laws, was the son of an old friend of Rev. Cory, and gave a letter supposedly from his mother, asking the minister to aid the boy. It is understood that the youth stole the money orders from the postoffice at Summerland, where his sister works. Seventeen orders are missing, and the youth confessed to passing seventeen bogus orders. Boy Burned by Gasoline Bertie Claypool, an Orange youth, aged 15, was fatally burned Saturday night when a can of blazing gasoline was accidentally thrown upon him. He died Monday morning at 8:30 o'clock. The boy was standing in the door of He says in his answer in the suit that she was a friend of gamblers. On August 17, 1911, Judge Eakin ordered the default opened and permitted the wife to file an answer to the charges. This she did, setting forth a general denial, and asked for $7,000 attorneys' fees and $2,500 monthly alimony. December 7, 1911, Judge Eakin allowed Mrs. Taylor $500 attorneys' fees. Since that time the case has been much in the courts, the wife filing a cross-complaint and the husband appealing. Jury Awards $4,000 Damages Judgment for $4,000 was given Dr. J. R. Medlock by the jury that sat in the condemnation suit brought by the Pacific Electric against the Santa Ana physician for a 60-foot right-of-way curve through the northwest corner of his walnut orchard near Santa Ana. The jury fixed $1,800 as the amount that should be paid for the land, comprising three-fourths of an acre, and $2,200 damages to the remainder of the land by reason of the institution of the right-of-way. The 12 men were in the jury room 39 minutes. It is rather an interesting fact that the amount given by the jury is exactly the amount that Attorneys Williams and Rutan and Dr. Medlock had offered to accept from the railroad. The railroad, however, would not offer over $2,000. The defense rejected that offer, and the case went to trial. This judgment clears up the right-of-way for the extension of the electric line to Orange, and those who are informed in the matter are of the opinion that the P. E. will begin construction work within two or three weeks. Billy, we must sell more lumber next month or we go to the wall.” Say, isn’t he the dandy josher?
