SPLENDID SHOWS AT THE NEW GRAND EXCELLENT PROGRAM FOR BALANCE OF WEEK AND NEXT WEEK LARGE AND APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCES CONTINUE TO FILL THE SEATS AT THIS POPULAR PLAY HOUSE Manager Mozart has arranged a splendid program for the New Grand theatre during the next few days. Tonight he will present "A River of Romance," with Harold Lockwood, one of the most gifted stars on the screen, and May Allison, who is equally as talented and popular in the stellar roles. This five part Metro wonderplay was produced by the Yorke Film Corporation, under the direction of the celebrated producer, Henry Otto, this being the latter's first feature on the Metro program. The story was written by E. J. Rath, which is said to be the nom de plume of the wife of a well-known United States Senator. Most of the exterior scenes are laid in The Thousand Islands, where the company was sent by Metro to make the production. Several palatial homes of New York and Pittsburgh millionaires were used by the Lockwood-Allison forces in photographing the many picturesque scenes. There is a strong supporting cast. Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday afternoon "The Girl of Lost Lake," with Myrtle Gonzales in the leading role will be shown also two Most of the exterior scenes are laid in The Thousand Islands, where the company was sent by Metro to make the production.

Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday afternoon "The Girl of Lost Lake," with Myrtle Gonzales in the leading role will be shown, also two more reels of "Liberty." This is a romantic drama of the Great San Bernardino mountains and Big Bear lake in the summer time, consequently it will have a local interest for many of our people. Lost lake, high up in the Sierra Nevada mountains, is peopled by rugged types of woodsmen and prospectors. Abner Clark and his daughter Jude; Judge West, a veteran prospector; Dave Bean, a hardy mountaineer; Wallace Harrison, an artist who has gone to Lost Lake for "atmosphere," and Vaughan McAndrews, the hero of the play, are the principal figures in the photo-story. Two more reels of "Liberty, the Girl from U. S. A." will also be presented. This is a story of the Mexican border and is full of thrills. Sunday afternoon and night Violet Mercereau will appear in "The Narrow Path." This play features the notorious East Side in New York. Believing that nothing is too good for his audiences, Manager Mozart is always in the market for the best that can be purchased. Monday and Tuesday night and Tuesday afternoon he presented Thomas Dixon's great spectacular play, "The Fall of a Nation." This was a companion story to "The Birth of a Nation." It was shown to full houses and was fully appreciated by the large audiences. Nex Monday and Tuesday he presents Beatrice Fairfax. People of the South are pretty familiar with this wonderful photoplay or the story at least, as it has been running in serial form in the Los Angeles Herald and Examiner, and is also running at one of the leading theatres in the city. It is one of the really great pictures, and has attracted thousands of seasoned theatre goers in Los Angeles. It will be seen here for the first time Monday and Tuesday nights and Tuesday matinee, Oct. 2 and 3. Grace Darling and Harry Fox have the leading roles.

Mr. Brisbane is seated at his desk, dictating. His private secretary enters and receives hurried instructions. "Tad," the cartoonist, comes in with his "comic" for the day and receives an O. K. on it from Mr. Brisbane. As he leaves the managing editor enters, accompanied by Beatrice Fairfax. The three engage in an animated conversation in which Beatrice Fairfax outlines certain work she has in mind, and the prologue ends. The first episode shows Beatrice Fairfax at her desk, opening her mall. One letter in particular interests her. It is signed by Mary Ryan, who tells the confidante that she believes her fiance, who is a watchman in a bank, is growing cold in his affection. The next scene shows the reportorial rooms of the New York Evening Journal. "Jimmy Barton," the star reporter, hurriedly enters with a story of a bank robbery. As he writes, Beatrice looks over his shoulder and, reading his copy, sees that suspicion points to the watchman of the bank. She recalls Mary Ryan's letter, and tells Jimmy. Beatrice and Jimmy hurry in a taxi to Mary's home. There they learn her story. There is, of course, "another woman." Meantime the bank robbers are seen enmeshing the watchman. He flirts with the "other woman," and she invigiles him into their den. There they bind and gag him and take his uniform. One of them impersonates him as If the Democracy punish the Republican, it could a more successful operation in the mall. The income tax on corporations and the taxes, which have $210,000,000, bear no on the wealth of the South or West. Our new taxes is paid by wealth of New York; the wealth of Massachusetts; wealth of Illinois; of Georgia; $2,780,000,000; South Carolina; $3,545,000,000; Oklahoma; $3,700,000; bama and $4,500,000; sissippi.

Over Board For Ceilings You seldom see a plaster ceiling that doesn’t show cracks and seams. It’s unsightly and inartistic, but worse still, it isn’t permanent. The plaster may fall any day and is bound to need repairs. Metal ceilings last longer but cost too much. They are hard to put up, unattractive and they rust. Beaver Board has all of the advantages and none of the handicaps. It’s as long-lasting as steel and more pleasing in appearance. It lends itself to any kind of decoration, is easy to put up and when decorated in good taste makes a tremendous improvement in the looks of the room. In new buildings or old, it’s the one logical ceiling. We can absolutely convince you of this if you’ll give us a chance. Beaver Board is the modern wall and ceiling material. It does away with the lath and plaster muss and makes a cleaner and more substantial job. If you’re planning to build or remodel, call us up. Local Notes Frank James tells of a peculiar tire puncture that happened on Los Angeles street the other day. A horse shoe lying in the street penetrated the tire of a large auto when the car passed over it, the two ends of the shoe being forced into the tire and by the weight of the car were twisted, and clamped tight against the rim, and with difficulty was the shoe removed, so securely had it become attached to the wheel. The shoe was of large size and apparently new and just how it came to puncture the tire has caused men long in the business to wonder. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Hill and Mr. and Mrs. Cooney Mauerhan motored to Santa Barbara one day last week in the former’s Bulck touring car, making the 260 miles in one day. They left here in the morning and returned at midnight. On Sunday they motored to Stoddard’s camp and Mount Baldy, returning by way of Pomona, Brea canyon and Whittier Heights. The Lafolot club was entertained by Miss Lucy Ziegler Thursday evening. It was rather a unique affair inasmuch as all languages except German were proscribed, and all the songs were German. The luncheon which the hostess served was also “Dutch.” Fourteen young ladies were present and each one could speak German as fluently as the Kaiser himself. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Tomblin and two children of Orange, spent Sunday in Anaheim, guests of Mr. Tomblin’s nephew, M. B. Tomblin and his wife. Mr. Tomblin is chief of the Orange fire department and, of course had to visit Anaheim’s headquarters and inspect our fire fighting apparatus. He declares this city has an equipment that has no superior outside of the large the watchman at the bank. At midnight he admits his confederates. there is a thrilling scene, showing the robbers drilling the doors of the vault. They escape with the money. Mary's home is shown again. Beatrice and Mary start out to find Mary's rival while Jimmy does some sleuthing. He trails a notorious bank robber to his home and hears him relate the story of the robbery to his mother. They catch Jimmy eavesdropping. A fight follows and the robber and his mother escape from the house. Jimmy hears groans in the cellar, and finds the bank watchman there, bound and gagged. He tells Jimmy how the "other woman" led him into a trap at her home. Together they leave to locate the house. Beatrice and Mary have reached there before them. The robber with whom Jimmy had the fight sees them peeking through the keyhole as the other robbers count their loot. Realizing that they have been trapped, the robbers prepare for flight. After a desperate struggle, Beatrice and Mary are forced into a room, where one of the robbers, a doctor, sets fire to a mixture he has prepared which produces a deadly gas. Beatrice and Mary are fast losing consciousness when Jimmy and the watchman, with anumber of detectives, arrive. There is a terrific battle with the robbers, all of whom are finally overpowered, the two women restored to consciousness and the funds of the bank recovered. There are explanations and a happy reunion between Mary and the watchman. Then Beatrice and Jimmy hurry to their office, where they write the story of the capture of the bank robbers and the recovery of the plunder for a midnight "extra." UNPRECEDENTED RECORD American exports finally have passed the half-billion dollar a month mark. Statistics issued by the department of commerce show that goods sent abroad in August were valued at $510,000,000, a record not only for this country but for the world. The total is $35,000,000 above the previous high record, established in May and $45,000,000 higher than the June figure. Imports decreased in August, the total of $199,247,391, being $47,000,000 below that of June, the record month. It was greater, however, than the total for any previous August. Exports for the year ended with August aggregated $4,750,000,000 and the imports $2,200,000,000, both totals being far in advance of those for any similar period. Of the August imports, 66.5 per cent entered free of duty, compared with 67.5 per cent in August, a year ago. The favorable trade balance for August was $311,000,000 compared with $119,000,000 in August a year ago, and a balance of $19,000,000 in August, 1914, against the United States. For the twelve months ending August 31 the export balance was $2,465,-000,000, as against $1,363,000,000 in the preceding year and $374,000,000 two years ago. The net inward gold movement for August was $29,000,000 and for the year $410,000,000 a record breaker. Last year the net inward gold movement was $146,000,000 and two years ago there was a net outward movement of $95,000,000. Gold imports in August were $41,238,716 against $61,-641,191 in August, 1915, and $3,045,-219 in August, 1914. MANY TYPHOID OUTBREAKS DUE TO MILK. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Tomblin and two children of Orange, spent Sunday in Anaheim, guests of Mr. Tomblin's nephew, M. B. Tomblin and his wife. Mr. Tomblin is chief of the Orange fire department and, of course had to visit Anaheim's headquarters and inspect our fire fighting apparatus. He declares this city has an equipment that has no superior outside of the large cities. The reception given by the parent teachers at Fremont school Thursday evening was an enjoyable affair. Rev. David Todd Gillimil delivered an invocation, and Rev. C. W. F. Daniels made the address. Prof. Malcom responding. Plano solos were rendered by Misses Katherine Steward and Dorothy Garrison, while Miss Fay Kern contributed a reading. Claus Otte of Olive was a business visitor in town Monday. AN AID TO PROTECTION By forcing the eight hour day and ten hour pay upon the railroads, with the consequent increase in rates of fares and freights to enable the roads to meet this increased expense, President Wilson has unwittingly furnished the advocates of a protective tariff with a very potent argument. The increase in the cost of transportation which is thus entailed will fall upon all raw materials and upon all finished products alike. The manufacturer will have to charge more for his product because his raw material will cost him more when it gets to his mill. The jobber will have to charge the retailer more for the same reason. And likewise the store keeper will have to get more money out of the consumer. All these items of increased cost will work to the detriment of American goods if they are compelled to compete with foreign goods in the American market. The foreign goods will be produced by cheaper labor than ours. They will be laid down in American ports by water freights, which are lower than railroad freights. To their initial cost on the dock must be added only the one increased charge for transportation to the point of their ultimate distribution. They will thus have the advantage over American people. The genor bor uni liver tha W frankne the bar ers ass used it of these duty o f there wage f welfare tthe faclation those s desired Thus purity practic If the Democracy had decided to punish the Republican states for being Republican, it could not have devised a more successful plan than is now in operation in the new revenue law. The income tax on individuals and corporations and the emergency revenue taxes, which have produced about $210,000,000, bear much more heavily on the wealth of the North than of the South or West. One dollar of these new taxes is paid by every $336 of the wealth of New York, by every $625 of the wealth of Massachusetts, $745 of the wealth of Pennsylvania, $790 of the wealth of Illinois, $1,950 of the wealth of Georgia, $2,780 of the wealth of South Carolina, $3,500 of the wealth of Oklahoma, $3,700 of the wealth of Alabama and $4,500 of the wealth of Mississippi. The Democracy has defended its course by announcing that it is its purpose to tax wealth. These figures indicate that it has not taxed all wealth, but only those kinds of wealth that are concentrated in the states of the North. This may be good politics, but it is not very good economics. A bank account may help to turn shadows into sunshine. Most people have rainy days some time. We welcome small accounts. The Anaheim National Bank. August was $29,000,000 and for the year $410,000,000 a record breaker. Last year the net inward gold movement was $146,000,000 and two years ago there was a net outward movement of $95,000,000.

There have been several milk-borne epidemics of typhoid fever in California during the last ten years, all of which would never have occurred if the new pasteurization law, which goes into effect October 1st, had been in force at the times these epidemics occurred. This means that the 382 cases in the milk-borne epidemics at Palo Alto, Colusa, Richmond, Taft and Maricopa might have been prevented. In the Palo Alto epidemic alone, there were 226 cases traced directly to infected milk supplies, and in the epidemic in the oil fields, just brought under control, there were 112 cases, and the source of the epidemic was found in a dairy. The epidemics at Colusa and Richmond were of minor importance as far as the number of persons affected is concerned, but had the source of infection not been discovered promptly, these epidemics might have assumed much greater importance. The following table shows the number of cases and the number of deaths that occurred in these epidemics: | Cases | Deaths | | :--- | :--- | | Palo Alto, 1915 | 236 | | Colusa, 1915 | 22 | | Richmond, 1915 | 12 | | Taft and Maricopa, 1916 | 112 | 382 17 MAIL BY AEROPLANE Uncle Sam's aeroplane mail route into Alaska, contracted for some time ago, cannot start because the European war is gobbling up all the aeroplanes as fast as they're made. Second Assistant Postmaster General Praeger, who is in charge of the new air route between Seward and Iditarod, Alaska, is in high hopes that the route will be in operation by spring. The air line will take the place of the old Malamute Trail, and instead of listening for the postman's whistle as most persons do, the Alaskan folk will strain their ears for the whirr of a 200-horsepower motor high up in the air. Earl L. Byers, an Alaskan capitalist, made a bid for the aeroplane service contract that was acceptable to the government, and he's trying hard to get the aeros. H. C. Hartley went up to Eagle Rock Tuesday on a visit to his daughter and son-in-law. NEW GRAND THEATRE BEAUTIFUL SAFE AND SANITARY PLAYHOUSE PERFECT THE PRIDE OF ANAHEIM THE HOME OF "ALWAYS GOOD" SHOWS.

With a frankness never before displayed in the barter and sale of votes, labor leaders assert that the administration has used its official power in the interests of these men and urges upon them the duty of delivering the vote. The price has been paid in legislation which provides for an increased wage, and the administration expects the vote to be recorded. There is not even a pretense that the wage increase was for the general welfare. The argument is based upon the fact that there was special legislation for special interests and that those special interests should give the desired reward in "unstinted measure". Thus we have an assault upon the purity of elections which no corrupt practices act can reach. We are fronted with the question whether it is the duty of congress to legislate for the general welfare or for the interests of a few. The composite citizen, with no special interests to be served, but with a desire only to promote the general welfare, must decide at the November election whether he sanctions the trade of votes for wage increases, and whether he will endorse an administration that compels the great government of the United States to acknowledge the superior power of the representatives of four labor unions.
