There will be two free acts with the carnival which will perform twice each day, afternoon and evening.

Arrangements are being made for a single, double and triple parachute drop each day from a captive balloon which is to be brought here for the carnival.
On Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, the fraternal, benefit and patriotic societies of Orange county will march in a parade which promises to be a notable affair. Already the lodges of the adjoining communities are engaged in building floats and drilling their members for the occasion. Prizes are to be awarded, the organization turning out the largest number of members largest percentage of members, largest number of present officers, largest number of past officers, oldest past officer, best float, best band, best drum corps and the lodge showing by its charter that it is the pioneer organization of Orange county.

The most famous pathfinders of Southern California will be here to partake of the hospitality of the oBard of Trade.
Chairman H. E. W. Barnes, of the queen committee, is bending his energies to the election of a queen and to the arrangements for her entertainment during the carnival. Tuesday evening will witness the grand opening of everything. The coronation of the queen is scheduled on this evening and the entire block on Claudina street from Center to Broadway will be set apart for dancing after the coronation. The queen's ball is to furnish a notable opening of a notable event, and gay posters have been scattered broadcast advertising it.
Another feature of the opening night will be the public wedding ceremony which will take place from the throne of the queen. The committee has advertised for a couple to get married in front of the crowd offering to pay the fee and furnish the happy couple with a set of furniture as a send off to their married life.
The contest for queen which is running as we go to press is expected to be a warm one at the close on Saturday evening. At present Miss Vivian Fox is running in the lead, while Miss Frances Schmidt, a local high school girl is gathering force at every count and Miss Mary Collins of Olinda is receiving good support from a large number of adherents who are working with might and main to pile up an eleventh hour majority. Others who are in the race are Lulu McClellan, Carrie Evans, Ida Dykeman and Florence Segner. The contest will close on Saturday evening, the polls being held open until 12 o'clock.
Chairman Henry Braden of the automobile committee is getting ready for the decorated pageant to take place on Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. Prizes are to be awarded for the best touring cars and runabouts in the county outside of Anaheim and in Anaheim city, there being four classes; best decorated trucks; oldest number of present officers, the greatest number of past officers, oldest past officer, best float, best band, best drum corps and the lodge showing by its charter that it is the pioneer organization of Orange county. The Elks of Santa Ana and many local organizations are among those who have responded to the invitation of the committee.
Friday will be Orange county day. In the afternoon the grand pioneers' parade will take place and in the evening there will be a banquet for the pioneers of Southern California the Board of Trade being the hosts.
The parade will take place at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and the line will be made up largely of floats of Orange county civic and commercial organizations and firms of Anaheim and other communities. A large list of entries has already been made. Prizes will be awarded the best floats, oldest pioneers and for several other features yet to be decided on. A program of games and freak races will be held after the parade and the pioneers will be escorted through the Midway attractions, and will be the guests at a reception given in their honor by Her Majesty, the Queen.
Saturday is everybody's day and the evening is 'Hallowe'en'. A monster outdoor Hallowe'en party has been scheduled for this evening as a grand windup to a grand week. A pumpkin parade and horribles are scheduled. Invitations have been sent to all the towns in the county inviting the populace "to come to Anaheim's fifty-seventh birthday Hallowee'en party." A Mardi Gras ball will close the carnival.
While invitations have been sent broadcast throughout the county the committee is not content to let the matter of securing attendance at the carnival rest there. Tomorrow there will be a booster trip to all the towns in the county and a large number of automobiles have already been promised for the occasion.
A canvass of the auto owners of the city made yesterday resulted in the names of the following residents being placed on the list of those who will either go themselves or send a machine for the use of the committee: Henry Adams, Herman Noll, Alex Witman, F. A. Yungbluth, M. C. Lopez, John Schumacher, W. M. Deuctch, Anaheim Dye Works, Orange County Machine company, Carl Pressel, Merton Skinner, V. U. Simp-

ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA; THURSDAY. OCTOBER 22, 1914
KNOWLAND GETS WARM WELCOME IN COUNTY
SPEAKS IN FOUR CITIES TO LARGE CROWDS OF ENTHUSIASTIC REPUBLICANS
GIVEN ASSURANCE THAT HE WILL CARRY ORANGE COUNTY BY 5000 PLURALITY
Joseph R. Knowland, republican candidate for United States senator, made his second visit to Orange county on Saturday, when he spoke to large and enthusiastic meetings of republicans at Fullerton, this city, Orange and Santa Ana. He met with warm welcome everywhere, and his addresses were frequently interrupted with applause. Mr. Knowland's first visit to Orange county was some weeks before the primary in August when he spoke at several points and made many friends who were glad to welcome him again. At Fullerton he was introduced by C. C. Chapman who urged the election of a republican of Mr. Knowland's talents and ability to the upper house of congress. In this city the candidate was introduced by publicans, who assured him his plurality in this county would exceed 5000.
Knowland left for San Diego at 4 o'clock and addressed a great night meeting in that city. He received an ovation there, his stand on free tolls through the canal for San Diego shipping bringing him warm commendations and assurances of hearty support.
Close observers of the campaign declare Knowland will sweep the state by 200,000 majority.
DOUBLE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
Mrs. Cassou Entertainins Both Her Husband and Father Sunday
A double-headed birthday celebration was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Cassou on West Center street Sunday. Mrs. Cassou was the instigator of the affair and managed a surprise for both her father and her husband. The affair was in honor of the 75th birthday anniversary of Rocq Sarrall, father of Mrs. Cassou and John Cassou, who was 58 years of age on that day.
A French dinner of 10 courses was prepared by Mrs. Cassou, and two huge cakes, designating the ages of the two men, were the principal objects on the table. The house was taste-
POPULAR BANK ENTERTAINS FRIENDS
MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE ATTEND OPENING OF GERMAN AMERICAN IN NEW BUILDING
PROSPEROUS FINANCIAL INSTITUTION BUILT UP IN SHORT SPACE OF ONLY EIGHT YEARS
Responding to an invitation more than two thousand friends and customers of the German American bank gathered at the offices of that popular financial institution Saturday evening. The occasion was the formal opening of the bank in its elegant new quarters, and the officers deemed it a fitting opportunity to give their patrons a glance at the inside workings of the place. The response to the invitation, however, was greater than they anticipated as they had figured on not to exceed 1500 guests, whereas 1764 registered on the visitors book and probably 300 others passed through.
Knowland's address was an eloquent appeal for the support of the republican party. He had served, he said, 10 years in the House of Representatives at Washington, and felt that he was qualified to adequately represent the interests of this state in the senate. No state in the Union he continued, depended more largely upon the policy of protection to its industries than California. He voted against the democratic free trade tariff bill which reduced the tariff on every one of California's products, and he fought against repeal of free tolls to American coastwise ships through the Panama canal. The tariff on citrus fruits, walnuts, sugar, beans, barley and other products of this county had been reduced by the democratic congress, which dealt a severe blow to these industries, and the democratic policy of free importations of sugar in 1916 meant the annihilation of this great industry.
He showed that while under the Taft administration the balance of trade had been hundreds of millions of dollars annually, now the balance of trade against us, since the adoption of the democratic free trade tariff bill amounted to more than $200,000,000. Our exports had greatly decreased, while our imports show a large increase. Customs receipts had fallen off to such an extent that the democratic administration proposes a war tax in a time of profound peace of $105,000,000. This tax, he said, is levied ostensibly because of the European conflict, but he asserted the real reason for the tax was the decrease in government receipts caused by the free trade tariff bill, and he declared the so-called war tax would have been necessary to raise sufficient revenue for governmental expenditures even had the war not occurred.
He said he was a man of peace, and supported President Wilson when ever he conceived the chief executive to be right. He supported the president
L. A. PAVING CO.
GOES TO VERNON
E. R. Werdin Leaves $50 Check for Carnival Before Going
The L. A. Paving company gathered up its effects and pulled out of town early Sunday morning. It was led by the big tractor which pulled a long string of dump wagons, making a procession nearly two blocks long. The company was headed for Vernon where a big contract was recently landed. A short time ago this company completed a hundred thousand dollar contract at that place and has just succeeded in landing a large one.
The company has just finished paying Lincoln avenue, North Lemon, North Philadelphia and Claudina streets, and leaves behind four sections of the beat paving in the state. Before leaving Mr. Werdin handed the carnival committee of the Board of Trades a $50 check to assist in paying expenses of next week's big show.
WATER COMPANY
A regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anselm Union Water company was held October 17, with all members present.
Minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved.
The occasion was the formal opening of the bank in its elegant new quarters, and the officers deemed it a fitting opportunity to give their patrons a glance at the inside workings of the place. The response to the invitation, however, was greater than they anticipated as they had figured on not to exceed 1500 guests, whereas 1784 registered on the visitors book and probably 300 others passed through without signing up. Many of the visitors who registered were from far eastern points and in Anaheim only temporarily, but were interested in knowing that an up-to-date California bank was like. Souvenirs had been provided for 1500, also an equal number of carnations, but the supply was short long before the guests were all supplied. The reception was supposed to end at 9 o'clock but it was 9:30 before the last visitors finished inspecting the place.
Meelcher's orchastra was engaged for the occasion and rendered excellent music during the entire evening. One of the unexpected features was the large number of beautiful bouquets and floral pieces sent in by friends, which were distributed throughout the room. One of these pieces that was especially attractive was a magnificent horseshoe, made of roses, three feet in diameter, sent by the Commercial National bank of Los Angeles. Another beautiful floral piece was sent by the C. B. Berger company.
O. Laibo of Minneapolis, representative of the American Bank Protection Co., which built the vaults and inaugurated the burglar alarm system, was present and demonstrated the workings of the alarm and also the absolute immunity from loss by fire or burglary. Even without the alarm the walls of the vault are so constructed that it would be impossible for a burglar within the limited time at his disposal to break through. In fact, after the vault had been constructed it was found necessary to drill a hole for the installation of a light and it took a skilled workman an entire day to pierce it.
The new building is admirably fitted for banking purposes. It was designed especially for the business and security was omitted that could add to the convenience of the quarters. One of the features is a ladies' rest room, with a lavatory and toilet room.
led ostensibly because of the European conflict, but he asserted the real reason for the tax was the decrease in government receipts caused by the free trade tariff bill, and he declared the so-called war tax would have been necessary to raise sufficient revenue for governmental expenditures even had the war not occurred.
He said he was a man of peace, and supported President Wilson when ever he conceived the chief executive to be right. He supported the president in maintaining peace, and was opposed to plunging the country into war. But whenever he found the president to be wrong he opposed his policy, notably when President Wilson abandoned the American policy of free tolls to our coastwise shipping through the Panama canal, at the demand of a foreign government.
He said he had received assurances of support from many democrats whose interests had been placed in peopardy by the free tariff bill. He felt that in this county, democrats engaged in the citrus, walnut, and sugar beet industries could not support the free trade attitude of the present administration, and he felt that many of these voters would welcome a return to the republican policy of protection.
Knowland made one of the best speeches delivered here during the present campaign, and at its conclusion he was warmly congratulated for his able oratorical effort.
At Orange he addressed another large meeting being introduced by W. O. Hart. At Santa Ana he addressed one of the largest meetings of the campaign, and was introduced by Hon. Clyde Bishop.
He was accompanied through the county by J. W. Duckworth, president of the Orange county republican central committee and many other re-
WATER COMPANY
A regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anasheim Union Water company was held October 17, with all members present.
Minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved.
Director Dwyer reported that a contract had been signed between the parties interested in the Hollingshead pipeline and the company and that the line was now being put in.
On motion duly seconded the President and Secretary were authorized to sign the agreement for sale of oil to the city of Anasheim, as amended.

On motion duly seconded the secretary was instructed to notify the Petroleum Oil company that it would be impossible to make arrangements whereby they could use this company's oil line to Placentia.
On motion duly seconded the president appointed directors McFadden and Sherwood as a committee to assist him in making arrangements to take care of the bonds falling due on January 1, 1915.
On motion the meeting adjourned.

At his disposal to break through. In fact, after the vault had been constructed it was found necessary to drill a hole for the installation of a light and it took a skilled workman an entire day to pierce it.
The new building is admirably fitted for banking purposes. It was designed especially for the business and industry. It was omitted that could add to the convenience of the quarters. One of the features is a ladies' rest room, with a lavatory and toilet room in connection. It is furnished with comfortable chairs and a table and is open for all ladies who desire to rest or retouch their toilet after a journey. In connection with the safety deposit vaults are a row of booths where customers, after taking their boxes from the vault, can shut themselves in and examine the contents in private.
The German American bank was established in 1906, and has had a prosperous career. It has had a steady and uninterrupted growth from the first year of its existence, and is now one of the safest financial institutions in the state. The purchase and remodeling of its present quarters is an evidence that its career has been a successful one, and that it is on a safe and prosperous basis. The officers and directors are nearly all home folks who are known personally to everybody in this region, and in whom the people have confidence. They have built up a prosperous institution in eight years' time, and will continue to expand with the growth of Anasheim. The directors are Adolph Thomas, Joseph Helmsen, J. B. Rea, A. B. McCord, W. A. Bonynge, J. D. Lavin, C. F. Grim, Louis Denni. The officers are: President, Adolph Thomas; vice-president, Joseph Helmsen; cashier, A. B. McCord; assistant cashier, E. E. Smith.

CARNIVAL COMPANY IS RECOMMENDED
Residents of Anaheim See the Foley & Burk Shows at Riverside
Anaheim California, Oct. 19, 1914
To the Residents of Anaheim:
There has been considerable discussion as to the merit of the carnival attractions which are to be here in connection with the pioneer week festivities and as several parties seem to be under a misapprehension concerning them, I as chairman of the celebration committee desire to make a statement regarding them.
All carnivals are not alike, We have, perhaps, had some here which were not desirable. That is past and can not be regulated at this time but the committee which has been appointed to take charge of your celebration made a very careful investigation of the Foley & Burk company before signing a contract for their appearance here and we satisfied ourselves that the attractions were clean and meritorious.
In addition to that, learning that Dr. Claussen and his wife were to visit the Riverside fair, I took it upon myself to request Dr. Claussen to visit the shows on the midway and report to me his ideas concerning the same. His report vindicates the pioneer week committee in every way and assures
Thursdays of each week, except as holidays may be declared during the term. Fifty exercises will be offered in all subjects except sewing. The classes in sewing will meet twenty-five times during the year on Mondays and will have double periods.
Registrations will be received at any time. All are urged to enter classes on the first day. The school authorities reserve the right to withdraw any subject if the attendance falls below five.
The principal will be pleased to talk over the work of the school with any one interested. He will be at his office on Thursday, Oct. 22, from 7:30 to 9:00 P.M. to receive registrations. Except in American citizenship, European History and Periodical Literature, the number received will be limited to thirty.
The course in English language is designed for those speaking foreign languages who wish to learn English.
English grammar will be taught from a practical standpoint and will not be technical. If presupposes the ability to read and aims to improve the student in the use of the language.
Spanish will be offered to beginners and to more advanced students. Those who took the work last year should register in the second division.
Attention is particularly directed to the commercial work as this is a distinctly useful line. The work is individual and the student can progress as rapidly as his time and ability will permit.
Commercial arithmetic and bookkeeping are taught according to the needs and interests of the student. A young man or woman can learn to keep a set of books by diligently applying himself to this work.
Shorthand and typing are also offered, and will prepare a student for a position in this line. Typing may be taken without shorthand if desired.
Penmanship is offered in a twenty minute period each school evening, beginning at eight o'clock.
Sewing will be given Mondays only and will be from 7:40 to 9:00 o'clock.
The course in American citizenship is designed to acquaint the voter with his duties and privileges and tell him something of the methods of government. The course is not technical.
European history will be presented to show the development of the nations and institutions concerned bring-
In addition to that, learning that Dr. Claussen and his wife were to visit the Riverside fair, I took it upon myself to request Dr. Claussen to visit the shows on the midway and report to me his ideas concerning the same. His report vindicates the pioneer week committee in every way and assures us that we have never had here before a more creditable carnival company.
Dr. Claussen reports that he visited the shows and concessions on the midway at Riverside, talked with fair officials and that everywhere he heard the most encouraging reports of the high class of the attractions to be brought here. The Riverside papers praise the attractions in the highest terms.
In addition Mr. Rolfe has been in Riverside nearly every day of the fair and his report of the carnival attractions is most enthusiastic.
With the reports of these two gentlemen before us we cannot but be satisfied that Anaheim will have the best attractions to be had during pioneer week and we will congratulate ourselves on the fact when the celebration is over.
(Signed) J. W. Duckworth, Chairman Pioneer Week Committee.
The Westminster school bonds amounting to $15,000 bearing interest at 5 per cent, were sold to the Orange County Savings and Trust Company at par. The bonds are interest bearing at the rate of five per cent. There was some spirited skirmishing before the bonds were finally disposed of, and the general feeling was one of satisfaction that a Santa Ana institution had become the purchaser.
Sewing will be given Mondays only and will be from 7:40 to 9:00 o'clock.
The course in American citizenship is designed to acquaint the voter with his duties and privileges and tell him something of the methods of government. The course is not technical.
