THE CITY ELECTION Candidates Who Stand For Progress and Civic Improvements GEORGE W. HAMLER Re-election of George W. Hamler by a triumphant majority would be a fitting tribute to an official whose record deserves endorsement by his constituents. Mr. Hamler has served two years on the city board and his retention in his seat would prove the good judgment of the voters of Anaheim. He has advocated every improvement under consideration that could enhance values, increase prosperity or beautify the city and is looking forward to the introduction and championship of others during the next few years, one of them being the establishment of a much-needed city park. Mr. Hamler's business and property interests are large but he does not permit private affairs to interfere with his sense of loyalty to his constituents. JOHN H. BRUNWORTH During his twenty years' residence in Anaheim J. H. Brunworth has succeeded in gaining the confidence of its people, especially those with whom he has had business dealings. His probity and conscientiousness in all transactions make him as a fitting man to hold a seat at the common table. He is liberal-minded and possessed of keen judgment. He was many years zanjero for the Anaheim Union Water Company and gained a high reputation for his able and honest management of the business under his control. Mr. Brunworth has been very successful in his private affairs and those who cast a ballot for him next Monday will assist in placing a capable and upright man on the board. J. J. SCHNEIDER Not many persons now living can PAVING OF ALLEYS NOW CONSIDERED Committees From Board of Trade Soliciting Signers Not satisfied with building the best streets in California the Anaheim people are now agitating paving of some of the alleys. The question of paving the alleys north and south of Center street from Lemon to Claudina was discussed by the board of trade some time ago and met with much favor from people whose property abut on the alleys. Tuesday morning President J. W. Duckworth, of the board, announced the appointment of Hugo Strodhoff as committeeman on the north side to solicit signers to a petition to the trustees for pavement of the alley between Center and Chartress, and John Ziegler was appointed to look after the matter on the south side. These gentlemen will secure signatures to the petitions and if sufficient names are secured the question will be submitted to the trustees. A number of the property owners who adjoin the alleys have signified their approval and it is not anticipated any opposition of consequence will develop. The length of the alleys which it is proposed to pave are 840 and 930 feet respectively. On the north side the alley from Lemon to Los Angeles is 600 feet. It is 18 feet wide, making 10,800 square feet of surface. From Los Angeles to North Claudina (formerly Hermine) is 330 feet. It is 20 feet wide making 6,600 square feet. The total square feet in this alley is 17,400. On the south, between Center and Broadway, the length and width of the alley from Lemon to Los Angeles is the same as the north one. From Los Angeles to South Claudina it is 240 feet long and 30 feet wide, making 7,200 square feet, a total for the alley of 18,000 square feet. The grand total for the two alleys, therefore, is 35,400. It is a question for the trustees to decide what system of paving will be laid in these alleys should a majority of the frontage favor the proposition. It will probably be of much cheaper character than the asphalt paving used on the streets. BUTTER BY PARCELS POST To demonstrate to Oklahoma farmers and creamery men of the state that butter can be sold direct to consumers DROUGHT-RESISTANCE FILM Results of Distribution of Agriculture The Department of Agriculture ing 1913, under an Act Congress, distributed 27,000 packages of field seeds. Each of contained a sufficient amount to plant 1 acre, and thus fulfilled the grower a much larger area than The crops included in were improved hardy sistant alfalfas, new peas, improved straws, Peterita, and Sudan charge of this distribution resulted obtained from these seeds: Peterita, a grain and similar to kafar and grass, a wild form of what coarser than maize beyond a doubt thence to the country. Not extreme drought throughout almost the season, these crops are furnished for all other crops failed varieties are at the peak in demand and far in excess of the other or millets. The Amrican varieties of field pea their superiority over strains for dry-land created for themselves tested. New millets promising, and so far terminated from one year improved alfalfa will establish this crop in or too cold for the corn. In addition to alfalfa Sudan grass, the district will include field peaed strains of sorghum Tepary beans. The especially drought very promising in this portion of the Great American article for human use. The most promising results that are expired distribution of seed or crops are the establi J. J. SCHNEIDER Not many persons now living can boast of having seen Anaheim develop and grow as can Julius J. Schneider. Mr. Schneider is a product of the city—a native son, being born here nearly half a century ago. Knowing his fitness for the office his friends are boosting him for membership on the board of trustees and will rally to his support Monday. Mr. Schneider has held many positions of trust and has always proven capable, clean and broad-minded. He has already served his city on the council and is familiar with the duties required of a trustee. Mr. Schneider also has large interests in the city, therefore is unqualifiedly in favor of a progressive and growing Anaheim, judicious improvements and the extension of a welcoming hand to any project that promises to increase its prosperity or hasten its development. EDGAR J. HARTUNG The city's finances are in such excellent and capable hands at present that few people believe this department of its government could be improved by making a change. Edgar J. Hartung has not held the office of city treasurer very long but has been in office a sufficient length of time to prove that his claim for re-election is a deserving one. As cashier of the First National Bank he has demonstrated his capacity for business, especially financial matters. Mr. Hartung is also a native of Anaheim and grew into the confidence of the people through his honesty and upright character. E. B. MERRITT It was in 1890 that Edwin B. Merritt took charge of Anaheim's books and records as its city clerk and for 14 years he has continued to hold the position. His work has been so efficient and satisfactory that every auditing committee going through his records and checking up his work has complimented him in the highest terms on the excellence of his work. It is presumed that every voter who goes to the polls Monday expects to cast his ballot to retain Mr. Merritt in his important office as no one was found who cared to dispute possession with him. FREE EXCURSION TO OLIVEDALE The G. D. Robertson Company, of Los Angeles, will conduct another free excursion from Anaheim to Olivedale, leaving Anaheim Friday morning, April 10th, at 7:30, from the Santa Fe depot. Tickets can be secured free of charge at the Commercial Hotel, Anaheim. The Robertson Company have been long and 30 feet wide, making 7,200 square feet, a total for the alley of 18,000 square feet. The grand total for the two alleys, therefore, is 35,400. It is a question for the trustees to decide what system of paving will be laid in these alleys should a majority of the frontage favor the proposition. It will probably be of much cheaper character than the asphalt paving used on the streets. BUTTER BY PARCELS POST To demonstrate to Oklahoma farmers and creamery men of the state that butter can be sold direct to consumers by way of parcel post and at a profit, the dairy department of the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College has inaugurated a system of parcel post shipments covering any point in the state. Butter is now being sent out by the college dairy department in 2 and 4 pound containers. Every shipment of butter is insured through the postoffice department and there is no chance of loss through improper handling in transit. While no effort is made to lower the price of butter to a point that would jeopardize profits to the producer, it will be possible for the housewife in Oklahoma cities to obtain college butter at from 5 cents to 10 cents a pound less than she has been paying for the product of the big creameries in other states, purchased from her grocer. This margin, added to the cost of shipment and of insuring the package, does not absorb present tolls to the middleman, according to Prof. Roy C. Potts. In other words, the farmer can sell direct to the housewire at a slightly lower price than she has been paying the butter trusts and Uncle Sam will deliver his product. Economists have widely advertised the charge that only 46 per cent of the price of foodstuffs to consumers goes to the farmer. Whether this ratio holds true on dairy products as an average would require statistics to establish, but there are many farmers in Oklahoma who doubtless can testify from their own experience to instances where they got less than 46 per cent. NO SITE SELECTED Dr. J. H. Webber, in a letter denies that a choice has been made by the university regents of a site for the state citrus experiment station, as was reported, it being asserted that the San Fernando Valley had been selected for the station. Dr. Webber says four sites have been submitted to the regents for a choice by the committee of growers. He had not made any recommendation of a specific site, simply making a report on each one of the sites which has been submitted to the regents and examined by him. He said that there is bound to be disappointment, and more or less dissatisfaction, no matter what site is selected. Such a feeling he regarded as natural and inevitable when so many sites, supported by various persons and organizations, each one having its partisans, had been submitted. But he believed that whatever site is selected would be recognized as a good one with the maximum of advantages. No site submitted possessed all the requisites for a perfect location.

MORE LITTLE There are enough tensions filed at the county judge and jury bui FREE EXCURSION TO OLIVEDALE The G. D. Robertson Company, of Los Angeles, will conduct another free excursion from Anaheim to Olivedale, leaving Anaheim Friday morning, April 10th, at 7:30, from the Santa Fe depot. Tickets can be secured free of charge at the Commercial Hotel, Anaheim. The Robertson Company have been very successful in disposing of their Olivedale property, having sold to date over $180,000 worth of lots, many lots having been secured by residents of Anaheim and vicinity. One thing that appeals to the buyer or Olivedale property is the fact that the Robertson Company pays for all street work, sewers, sidewalks, curbs, etc., and there will be no future assessments for the buyer of this beautiful property. This probably will be the last excursion from Anaheim to Olivedale, as there remains only about 75 lots unsold and these probably will be disposed of in the next ten days. LOOKS SUSPICIOUS The owner of the abandoned automobile which was noticed by Anaheim parties standing by the roadside between this city and Fullerton, Saturday morning, who reported the derelict to Marshal French of the latter city, has been found. He is Dr. Louis Weber of Los Angeles. The car was stolen from Dr. Weber's garage Friday evening, and it is thought the thieves may have been the same parties who undertook to rob a bank at Glendora that night, but were repulsed and made a safe get-away. Articles left in the machine and recovered by the marshal may lead to identification of the parties. Their connection with the bank robbery is mere conjecture so far, and it may be the car was taken only for a joy ride. MEN'S CLUB The entertainment committee of St. Michael's Men's Club, composed of Doc Barnes, Dr. Houck, H. A. Dickel, Henry Adams and the Rev. D. T. Gillmor, is busy making arrangements for the social time of the next meeting of the club to be held some time next week. Members and their friends will bear this in mind. Announcement of the date will be made later. The only countries reported as having a greater per capita consumption of dressed meat than the United States are the Australian Commonwealth and Argentina. These, it is well known, are countries of sparse population and vast herds and flocks; hence meat is exceedingly cheap and the native consumption large and probably wasteful. The per capita consumption of meat for Australia and Argentina is estimated to be in the neighborhood of 250 pounds per annum; it may possibly be even greater. The corresponding consumption for the United States was computed by the United States Bureau of Animal Industry to be 172 pounds in 1909, and it is estimated to be about 10 pounds less at the present time. This is much greater than the British consumption, the largest in Europe, which is slightly under 120 pounds per inhabitant per annum. NOTICE TO THE PERMANENT PRESIDENT The permanent president will be as follows, be day, April 13, at the Admission every day except Saturday, 5 and every Sunday, 2:30. DROUGHT-RESISTANT FIELD SEEDS Results of Distribution by Department of Agriculture The Department of Agriculture during 1913, under an appropriation of Congress, distributed approximately 27,000 packages of drought-resistant field seeds. Each of these packages contained a sufficient quantity of seed to plant 1 acre, and this when successful supplied the grower with seed for a much larger area the following year. The crops included in this distribution were improved hardy and drought-resistant alfalfas, new varieties of field peas, improved strains of millets, Feterita, and Sudan grass. Those in charge of this distribution have rendered the following report as to the results obtained from the planting of these seeds: Feterita, a grain and forage sorghum similar to kaif and milo, and Sudan grass, a wild form of sorghum somewhat coarser than millet, demonstrated beyond a doubt their immense value to the country. Notwithstanding the extreme drought which occurred throughout almost the entire growing season, these crops came to maturity and furnished forage where practically all other crops failed. Seeds of these varieties are at the present time greatly in demand and command a price far in excess of the ordinary sorghums or millets. The Amraoti and Bangalia varieties of field peas demonstrated their superiority over the common strains for dry-land farming and have created for themselves a strong demand in sections where they were tested. New millets also proved very promising, and, so far as can be determined from one year's results, this improved alfalfa will go far toward establishing this crop in sections too dry or too cold for the common strains. In addition to alfalfa, Feterita, and Sudan grass, the distribution this year will include field peas, millets, improved strains of sorghums, wheat, and Tepary beans. The last-named crop is especially drought resistant, and is very promising in the southwestern portion of the Great Plains region as an article for human food. The most promising and immediate results that are expected from the distribution of seed of dry-land field crops are the establishment in general use of two valuable crops—Feterita and Sudan grass—the making available ROYAL Baking Powder Saves Health and Saves Money and Makes Better Food KELLER WANTED FOR WIFE DESERTION His Father-in-Law, Also, Would Like to Collect Bill Fred Keller is no longer in Santa Ana.

A Hessel president of the Union KELLER WANTED FOR WIFE DESERTION His Father-in-Law, Also, Would Like to Collect Bill Fred Keller is no longer in Santa Ana. There is a warrant out for his arrest on a charge of wife desertion, but wife desertion is not the only count his wife and her father, Joseph Stevens, would like to talk to him about. Keller's new house on Logan street burned down about a month ago. Stevens says that Keller drew $1,000 insurance money out of the bank, and disappeared with it. At the time the house burned two Spaniards were under suspicion as having had something to do with the conflagration, but they were later turned loose, nothing having developed to prove the suspicions. When the fire occurred, Keller and his wife were away at a moving picture show. He owned a half-interest in a barber shop on East Fourth street near the depot. According to information secured by Stevens, Keller sold his interest for $250. He is supposed to have left Santa Ana last Tuesday, but it was not until Thursday that Stevens and his daughter, Mrs. Keller, came to the conclusion that Keller was away on a trip from which he has no intention of returning to his home and Santa Ana. Stevens worked on Keller's new house, the one that burned down, and so that there was about $130 due him from his son-in-law. Stevens is now quite certain that he will never be paid for the work he did. He is also quite certain that he will have to pay a $100 note at the Orange County Savings & Trust Company on which he appears as security for Keller. Stevens says there are others who would like a settlement out of Keller, among them being Richards & Viau, meat market, where it needs about $34 to square accounts between the firm and Keller. AUTO TURNS TURTLE Thomas H. Hughes and family were victims of a peculiar auto accident Saturday afternoon, and are thanking their lucky stars for a most fortunate escape from injury. They were driving to Fullerton in a Ford car from their home in Yorba Linda, with Mrs. Hughes at the wheel, her husband at her side and her sister and two children in the rear seat. On the hillside between Brea and Olinda, about two miles east from Brea, the machine ran off the grade and turned over down the hillside, striking the foot of the grade with the four wheels on top. The cover of the machine protected the occupants and all came out from under the wreck with no serious injury to any of the five. Before crawling out, Mr. Hughes stopped the engine, which was still spinning the wheels around, though they were up in the air.

Mr. and Mrs. Dan Harding, of Los Angeles, and Mr. and Mrs. Morris Smith, of Orangethorpe, visited in town one day last week. A. Hessel, president of the Union Brewery Company, was in town Tuesday looking after his interests in this city. Alec Henderson, well known here, and who for 22 years conducted a blacksmith shop at Fullerton has disposed of his business and will seek a well-earned vacation. Mr. Henderson owns valuable realty on Orangethorpe avenue and may perhaps devote his activities to horticulture. The ladies of the Guild and the Helpers' Guild of St. Michael's Episcopal church, with Mrs. Frank Champion as manager, are arranging to give a "Tom Thumb" wedding on Friday evening, the 17th. The money realized by this entertainment will be devoted to the object of furnishing the new Guild hall on Emily street, which was built by these ladies. There are two residents of San Juan Capistrano who want the appointment as justice of the peace to succeed John Landell, who has resigned and moved to San Diego. The men seeking the job are John Hickey and John Daneri. It is a question as to which John will get John's position. Both men have petitions in circulation, and will present them to the board of supervisors. The State Fruit Growers' Association will hold its annual meeting in Southern California this year, according to advices received Tuesday by the California Fruit Growers' Exchange from Commissioner of Horticulture Cook. It is possible that the meeting will be held in November instead of in December as usual. Ontario, Santa Ana and El Centro are in the race for the convention. $100 REWARD I will pay $100 reward for information leading to the identity of the person who poisoned my dog, Spot.

MORE LITIGATION There are enough Yorba Linda actions filed at the court house to keep a judge and jury busy for weeks. Another one was added to the list Tuesday. In it Frank Milhous is the plaintiff and W. H. Frank, Jacob Stern, M. N. Newmark, Peter Janss, the Stern Realty Company and the Yorba Linda Water Company are the defendants, the same defendants who are named in the six or eight other suits. In the Milhous case, it is alleged that Milhous contracted to pay $2,750 for ten acres of land. The Yorba Water Company slapped on assessments to pay interest on the bonds that the Yorba Lindans claim were fraudulent. Those assessments amount to $200, and Milhous declares that the money he has paid for assessments should be credited to his account on the contract. With that $200 his payments are completed, and he is suing for a deed and for $100 damages. Heney & Carr are his attorneys.

The cover of the machine protected the occupants and all came out from under the wreck with no serious injury to any of the five. Before crawling out, Mr. Hughes stopped the engine, which was still spinning the wheels around, though they were up in the air. T. R. MacDonald of the Wicker-sheim garage went out in response to a telephone call. He found that the only damage was to the top, crushed by the fall and the weight of the machine above it, and the fenders bent out of shape. After the little Ford was turned over and set on its wheels, right side up, MacDonald cranked the machine, placed the ladies and children in it and returned them under its own power to their home; later bringing the car into town for repairs to the cover and fenders. NEW TANKS Work has commenced on the new tankage to be erected by the Union Oil Company near their refinery, a mile and a half west of Brea. The contract has been let for twenty 55,000-barrel tanks, to be constructed two each month until completed. Thirty-six men are now employed, and it is planned to increase the force in a few days. Several new wells should be coming in in a few weeks on the Graham & Loftus lease, and the additional tankage will be absolutely necessary for handling the increased output. In fact, several of the Union's big producers have had to be pinched down on account of the lack of storage facilities. Since the first of the year their production has been increased by very nearly six thousand barrels daily. Improvements recently made at the plant of the Fullerton Ice Company give a greater efficiency, producing two tons daily more refrigeration with the same quantity of water as used before. The water is carried from the wells through a large pipe to a height of 50 feet, and empties into the cooling tower, the operation of which gives it a temperature five degrees lower. Under this the absorbers are assembled. A flow of sixty gallons per minute is maintained without interruption, the company's own wells being the source of supply. Connection has been made with the city water system, however, so provide for accident or interruption of any kind in the flow from its wells. Two new settling tanks, each of 3,000 gallons capacity, clear the water before it goes into the boiler. Additional storage room has also been provided in the ice cream department, 40 per cent having been added to the capacity of the plant. May 16 is the date set by the city trustees for a special election in Fullerton to vote on a bond issue of $50,-000 for roads and $5,000 for better fire fighting equipment, including an auto truck and apparatus. It is proposed to improve the Brea road from the bridge to the north city limits, and Raymond and Ross avenues from where the paving now ends on Commonwealth to the east city limits. Voting will be at the city hall. The Santa Fe has commenced double tracking its road between Fullerton and Los Angeles, nearly two miles of the new track having been completed. As has been stated the double track between these two cities will cost over $500,000, and the work will be completed by the end of this year. A larger force of men will be put on the work in the near future. Thursday, April 9 Groceries and All Kinds of Table Delicacies for Your Easter Dinner The Most For Your Money at THE R. C.
