CHRISTMAS TREE FOR THE PUBLIC IS PLANNED BOARD OF TRADE DECIDES TO MAKE EVENT ONE OF GLAD-SOME CHEER J. W. DUCKWORTH TENDERS RESIGNATION AS SECRETARY OF ORGANIZATION The Anaheim board of trade decided Monday night to have a public Christmas tree, and appointed Messrs. Robt. Cochran, A. Bayliss, George Bishop and Fred Gresswell to make all necessary arrangements for the gladsome event. The board of trade will expend a goodly sum of money in providing presents for the kiddles—large and small—and plenty of candy will be within easy reach. The committee is a live one and are already bustly engaged in preparing Yuletide cheer that will be fitting to the time-honored occasion. The little orphans at St. Catherine's Academy will re-the fact of having the building located as it now stands, but with due care and precaution upon the part of the railway company, the danger may be reduced to the minimum. Attorney H. G. Ames presented a demand for $250, balance due for legal services, and it was ordered that, upon the instruction and O.K. of the river protection committee, who have collected the needed amount the secretary will draw, a warrant for the amount stated. Mr. Ames' fee was $500 to carry the United Storm Water district case through the appellate court, and having been already given a $250 retainer, the remainder is now ordered also paid. Upon request of A. A. Mills the Orange County National Loan association was given permission to use the board of trade rooms for meeting purposes Friday night. The board of trade gave its endorsement to the formation of a branch in this city of the Boy Scouts of America. First aid to the injured is the prime motive of the order, but the boys are also drilled in many other lines of usefulness, and are ever ready to assist, where assistance is needed. Courtesy and politeness are qualities ever uppermost in their minds, and the Boy Scouts are everywhere looked upon with commendable favor. Secretary J. W. Duckworth tendered his resignation, the same to take effect at the board's earliest conven- Robt. Cochran, A. Bayliss, George Bishop and Fred Gresswell to make all necessary arrangements for the gladsome event. The board of trade will expend a goodly sum of money in providing presents for the kiddies—large and small—and plenty of candy will be within easy reach. The committee is a live one and are already busily engaged in preparing Yuletide cheer that will be fitting to the time-honored occasion. The little orphans at St. Catherine's Academy will receive a generous supply of candy and goodies. Santa Claus will arrive in time to see that the children are well taken care of and their stockings filled to capacity. The Anaheim City Band will be in attendance and furnish music when the tree is lighted. The committee have not as yet decided upon a location for the tree, but it will be held either at the library grounds or at the intersection of Los Angeles and Center street. Chairman Henry Adams of the carnival committee reported a sum of $445.62 realized from the recent trade week carinval held here, after all expenses, amounting to $446.93 had been paid. A communication was received from Pasadena asking that Anaheim arrange a float to be entered in the Tournament of Roses to be held on New Year's day. This will be the 28th annual anniversary and no doubt will be a grand affair. As the county will no doubt arrange a float, the local board decided to assist that feature as other communities intend doing, and provide for one grand float to represent Orange county. A communication was received from the Salt Lake, asking for a photograph of the most beautiful residence, the same to be used in the company's new advertising literature soon to be issued. Since the Salt Lake will soon be running cars into Anaheim, the officials class this city as one of their patrons and desire to place our advantages before the public along with other progressive towns. The secretary will provide the photograph and such data as is required. Mr. Noll of the finance committee reported the collection of $610, cash, and $247 pledged, which he expects to be handed in before the next meeting. Mr. Noll has been indefatigable in his efforts to raise finances for the good of the organization and is to be highly commended for his public THIRTY GRAND JURORS SELECTED MONDAY Oliver Hill and J.

Duckworth tendered his resignation, the same to take effect at the board's earliest convenience, but it was reluctantly accepted conditional upon Mr. Duckworth remaining at his station as secretary until his successor has been appointed. Mr. Duckworth has been a good and faithful official and his resignation is deeply regretted by all.

Mr. Noll has been indefatigable in his efforts to raise finances for the good of the organization and is to be highly commended for his public spirit. A vote of thanks was ordered extended to Fred Gresswell for donating to the exhibit room the fine large pumpkin, weighing 250 pounds. It is claimed that this is the largest specimen in captivity. The city trustees were voted a hearty card of thanks for their generous assistance in the way of furnishing material and electric juice at the recent carnival. To Messrs. Cechran, Bayliss, Bishop and Gresswell, who are rated as the kings of all boosters, were also tendered a vote of thanks for zealous labors freely given during the merchants trade week. To all others who rendered assistance, and especially to the proprietors of the S. Q. R. Store, Wm. Falkensteins' and P. J. Weisel & Co., a vote of thanks was given. A. Bayliss, of the committee appointed to view the erection of the new packing house now going up on East Center street, adjoining the Santa Fe tracks, relative to its close proximity to the street line, thereby hiding from view the incoming Santa Fe trains, reported that it was impossible to have the building located further inward on that lot. The report was accepted and the committee discharged. Some were fearful that the railroad crossing would be made dangerous by Thirty men out of a list of thirty-five were drawn as grand jurors before Judge Thomas Monday and are cited to appear at 10 o'clock Monday when a foreman will be elected.

Anaheim, California, Thursday, Nov. 23 1916 START MOVEMENT FOR BOY SCOUT BRIGADE EXECUTIVE POLLARD OF LOS ANGELES ADDRESSES BOARD OF TRADE ON SUBJECT W. H. WARD, AN EXPERIENCED SCOUT MASTER, HAS ALREADY BEGUN WORK ON PLAN A movement is on foot for the organization of a brigade of Boy Scouts in Anaheim. It was launched at the luncheon of the board of trade and business men Thursday. W. H. Ward is behind the move. He is an enthusiastic advocate of the work having been connected with the organization at Redondo Beach. He has only been a resident of Anaheim five months, but his work among the boys has caused him to observe and take an interest in them, and he declares that Anaheim has the finest bunch of boys in the world and they should be organized into a boy scout company. Everyone they can pick out the scouts from other pupils, because they are prompt to obey and never question orders. I believe it is the greatest movement ever brought to America. It will revolutionize the boy life of this town. It teaches the boys to be self-reliant and resourceful. It is the men who are preventing the spread of this movement all over the country. At the close of Mr. Pollard's address Chairman Ward again made a short talk telling of his experience with the boys at Redondo. He stated that he had started the movement here, and asked the co-operation of the parents. His talk met the unanimous approval of the men present, who promised to support him. H. O. Henderson will be toastmaster today, and announces that A. S. Ralph of Santa Ana will give a talk on insurance. Mr. Ralph is the best posted man on insurance in Southern California, and will give an interesting talk. HADSALL PURCHASES SUGAR STOCK AT $140 Buys 30,000 Shares for Client, Seeks 20,000 More H. S. Hadsall of Los Angeles, who promoted the establishment of the Anaheim sugar factory here some years ago, is in town purchasing shares at $140. He has obtained 30,000 shares CELERY GROWERS MUST GIVE FULL MEASURE CRATES MARKETED BY JAPS HEREAFTER MUST HAVE CONTENTS STAMPED ON OUTSIDE ORANGE COUNTY SHIPPERS LOST MONEY THROUGH PURCHASING SHORT BOXES LAST YEAR For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, the Heathen Chinee is peculiar, according to Bret Harte, but he hasn't a monopoly of this peculiarity. His Mongolian brother from Japan is equally tricky. The Jap celery ralsers of this county put one over on the shippers to an alarming extent last year by putting short measure in their crates. They were shipped east without opening and counting and when a purchaser in an eastern city reported back that in certain crates were shy a dozen or so bunches, the shipper was compelled to pungle up the difference. As there were no The boy scout organization is not military, he said, but the boys are drilled and managed with a bugle. They are taught resourcefulness and learned to stand on their own feet and take care of themselves in all emergencies. While learning all this the boys are also having a good time. We get them around a compfire at night and tell them of the accomplishments of great men who have lived rough lives but made good. In our camp we throw the boys into groups. We have the Daniel Boone group, the Davy Crockett group, the Bill Cody group, and others, and the boys of each group try to be worthy of the name they bear. HADSALL PURCHASES SUGAR STOCK AT $140 Buys 30,000 Shares for Client, Seeks 20,000 More H. S. Hadsall of Los Angeles, who promoted the establishment of the Anaheim sugar factory here some years ago, is in town purchasing shares at $140. He has obtained 30,000 shares for a client, and will purchase 20,000 more. Par value of stock is $100, and dividends of $20 per share have been declared, which represents at figures now offering, a net increase of $60 per share. Mr. Hadsall has recently returned from San Diego, where he spent three months and nine days in a futile effort to establish a sugar factory in that county. He says there are thousands of acres of splendid beet land in the El Cajon and Otay valleys, and that a sugar mill in the lower county would undoubtedly be a successful financial venture. He represented $300,000 of capital, and asked the San Diegans to subscribe a similar amount, but they were unable to come across with the dinero. He speaks with a shudder of his experiences in San Diego, and says the people there are apparently more interested in their fair than they are in the establishment of a great manufacturing enterprise. He says the sugar factories of Southern California are all making money, and cites several in this county which are making great profits in the present campaign. One sugar mill in this county, he says makes net earnings every three years sufficient to pay for the cost of the factory. HENRY SIENKIEWICZ DIES IN SWITZERLAND End of Famous Novelist, Former Anaheim Resident, Comes Suddenly Word has been received that Henry Sienkiewicz, the Polish novelist, author of "Quo Vadis", died suddenly at a hotel in Vevey, Switzerland, a few days ago. Many old timers in Anaheim remember Sienkiewicz. He joined the Modjeska colony here in 1876, but later returned to Poland. He was a member of the Polish relief committee when death overtook him. Madam Modjeska and Sienkiewicz, when they first came to Anaheim, liv- he hasn't a monopoly of this peculiarity. His Mongolian brother from Japan is equally tricky. The Jap celery raisers of this county put one over on the shippers to an alarming extent last year by putting short measure in their crates. They were shipped east without opening and counting and when a purchaser in an eastern city reported back that in certain crates were shy a dozen or so bunches, the shipper was compelled to pungle up the difference. As there were no marks to indicate the grower who had delivered the short crates the shipper was the man who lost, the Jap grower pocketing money for goods he did not deliver. The Benchley Fruit company estimates its loss through short crates of celery last year at $500. All of it was purchased from the Japs. The California Vegetable Union, which has branches at Fullerton and other points in the county, declares it lost from $2000 to $2500 last season in the same way. This money was paid to Japs for goods they did not deliver. But there is going to be a new system this season, and the wily Jap will be caught in a net if he don't watch out. County Sealer of Weights and Measures eGorge McPhee is camping on the trail of these dishonest growers this season, and any attempt to defraud the purchasers will meet with prompt and vigorous prosecution. McPhee has ordered a number of rubber stamps which will be distributed among the growers. The stamp reads, "Minimum Number of Bunches ... Dozen," and each crate must be stamped and the blank filled in. The label will be verified at the packing house, and if the crate falls short the grower will be called upon to explain why the number written on the outside does not correspond with the number of bunches packed inside the crate. Mr. McPhee was in Anaheim Monday for a short time. He had been adjusting scales at Buena Park and Fullerton, and stopped to inspect new scales just received by M. S. Lytle and the Randolph Fruit company. He stated that bakers in Anaheim and nearly all other points in the county had increased the price of bread to six and twelve cents, but in Santa Ana the five and ten cent prices were maintained. There has been an increase in the price of other products but the bakers fear that Los Angeles firms will flood the market with five and ten cent loaves if they raise the price.

In our camp we throw the boys into groups. We have the Daniel Boone group, the Davy Crockett group, the Bill Cody group, and others, and the boys of each group try to be worthy of the name they bear. The heart of the whole movement is in the code to which the boy subscribes. There are twelve laws he agrees to live up to. In each one he promises to do his best, but there isn't a single don't in the oath. All are promises to do. There is not an oath written for the government of mon that is equal to the oath taken by the boy scouts. There are three classes in the scout body—the tenderfoot, the second class and the first class scout, and the boy who reaches the latter is able to take care of himself and is equal to any emergency. I am not setting up an ideal, but telling you the truth. The movement is spreading rapidly and ten years from now you will all acknowledge that it was the best thing that ever happened to the human race. It is an easy thing to start because it does not require equipment. Headquarters can be established in a school house, a church or any vacant room. The discipline of the drill is wonderful. It leaves the boy to obey and do it promptly, and the boy who can obey orders without question is the boy who can give orders later on. The idea of honor is one of the greatest things you can put before a boy. I have never known a boy scout to tell a falsehood when put upon his honor. We must have boy scouts in the high school. Teachers tell me Word has been received that Henry Sienkiewicz, the Polish novelist, author of "Quo Vadis", died suddenly at a hotel in Vevey, Switzerland, a few days ago. Many old timers in Anaheim remember Sienkiewicz. He joined the Modjeska colony here in 1876, but later returned to Poland. He was a member of the Polish relief committee when death overtook him. Madam Modjeska and Sienkiewicz, when they first came to Anaheim, lived on West Center street, a block east of the high school. They afterward moved to a ranch on Placentia avenue. Their dreams of establishing a prosperous and flourishing colony failed. Modjeska returned to the stage where she made a world-wide reputation as one of its most brilliant stars, and Sienkiewicz went back to Poland. The publication of "Quo Vadis," made him famous. It has been translated into seven languages. It is said he wrote a portion of the great book while living here. Many Anaheim people now living were personal friends of his, and are grieved to learn of his death. EXHIBIT OF ART SUBJECTS An exhibit of about three hundred copies of the great pictures of the whole world will be made at Fremont school Auditorium on Monday and Tuesday of next week, Nov. 27 and 28. The proceeds of this will go to purchase pictures for the walls of the various school rooms of the city. A program of musical numbers will be given at eight oclock of the evening of both days. An admission of ten cents will be charged, the money obtained from such admission fees will all be used for the schools as the pictures in the exhibit are loaned by "Green's" of Los Angeles. It is a worthy cause. Help it along. CELEBRATES 82nd BIRTHDAY Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Adams gave a dinner Sunday in celebration of the 82d birthday anniversary of Capt. P.T. Adams of Tustin, Mr. Adams' father. It was a family gathering, sons, daughters, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law and grandchildren to the number of twenty-four being present, coming from Tustin, Santa Ana and Los Angeles. Captain Adams is still hale and hearty notwithstanding his 82 years of age. Captain Adams is one of the old settlers of Orange county, having come in 1876. He has been prominent in affairs and is one of the county's best known citizens. He is a veteran of the Civil war, coming out of that great struggle with a captain's commission. His many friends throughout the county extend congratulations on his excellent health at such an advanced age.

D. Lavin of this city for injuries sustained in an automobile collision at the corner of Center and North Claudina streets July 26. McPhee sued for $5180. Judge West decided in favor of plaintiff, but the amount of damages was not given, and a stay of execution for 20 day was granted. McPhee was represented by Williams & Rutan of Santa Ana. Lavin's attorney was Robert Jennings of Los Angeles. McPhee's witnesses were himself, George Bishop, William Schumacher, Officer Germann, Dr. J. I. Clark, Alexander Henry and Ted Kuchel. Lavin's witnesses were himself, his sister, Miss Lavin, C. O. Servatius and J. E. Baker.

Shortly before five o'clock, in broad daylight, an automobile pulled up in the rear of the Cherry Blossom cafe on East Center street.

Seeing Lavin bearing down upon him McPhee turned his car sharply toward the south side of the street. Lavin's car struck him, overturned his car and plinned McPhee under the wreck. McPhee suffered serious injury, and is not yet entirely recovered. Other witnesses for McPhee testified that Lavin was traveling on the wrong side of the street. Officer Germann testified that Lavin had cut a corner, and that Lavin was responsible for the accident. Attorneys in the case will file briefs, and Judge West will render final decision in 20 days. OFFICIAL COUNT OF ORANGE COUNTY VOTE Orangethorpe Precinct Thrown Out Because Tally Sheets are Sealed Up The official returns of the vote in Orange county were mailed to the Secretary of State Monday by County Clerk Williams. Orangethorpe precinct was thrown out because the tally sheets were sealed up with the ballots, and three items in Santa Ana precinct were thrown out because more votes were recorded for them than were cast in the precinct. The totals as they appear on the official sheet were as follows: Republican Electors—Highest, 10487; lowest, 10,444. Democratic electors—Highest, 6393; lowest, 6359. Socialist—Highest, 644; lowest, 630. Prohibition—Highest, 1005; lowest, 994. U. S. Senator—Johnson, 9576; Patton, 4815; Mills, 706; Atwood, 1881. Congressman—Edwards, 3418; Harrison, 7814; Kettner, 5083; Robbins, 605. State Senator—Duggan, 4635; Evans 9877; J. H. Stewart, 109. Assemblyman—J. C. Burk, 9067; W. W. Simon, 6482; Burr Hoffmaster, 91. Supervisor—First district, S. H. Finckless, but the most daring attempt so far reported occurred in Anaheim Monday afternoon. Shortly before five o'clock, in broad daylight, an automobile pulled up in the rear of the Cherry Blossom cafe on East Center street. The cafe's big ice box is built outside the building, back of the kitchen. It is easy to reach from the alley, but is always kept locked. Burglar laughed at locksmiths, however, and the driver of the auto deliberately pried the door off its hinges with a jimmy, or some other suitable implement, and proceeded to transfer its contents to the machine. When Earl Alling, son of W. T. Alling, the proprietor, discovered the man he was frantically endeavoring to crank the machine and make his get away, but the engine was balky. "What are you doing here," enquired Alling. "I don't know. This isn't my machine. My boss told me to do this," replied the man. "Who is your boss?" "Don't you know him? There he goes now," said he, pointing to the street. "I'll head him off and he can explain it to you." He left on the run, and the last that was seen of him he was going down Philadelphia street at a gait that indicated he wanted to get somewhere else in a hurry. Marshall Kellenberger was immediately notified and promptly appeared on the scene, but the man never returned with his boss. It is supposed he is still running. He had transferred from the Cherry Blossom ice box to the auto a freezer full of ice cream, three boxes of apples, five pounds of butter, and a quantity of eggs. In the machine Kellenberger also found a crate of suetene and a lot of cured meat, indicating that he had touched some other establishment before coming to the Cherry Blossom. Where this stuff came from is not known at present, but it evidently was not stolen in Anaheim. The car is a new Overland, in excellent condition. It bore two numbers, the one in front being V1525, and the one on the rear 181,869. Marshal Kellenberger took the machine to the P. J. Weisel garage, and is making an effort to discover the owner. It is evident the auto was stolen. This is one of the boldest attempts at burglary ever perpetrated in this region, and the booty which the thief expected to get away with was small.

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 30 and Dec 1 and 2, the sisters at St. Joseph's Academy will have on display and offer for sale, a variety of fancy needle work. These ladies have acquired a reputation for the beautiful work which they make, and the supply which they have accumulated during the year will no doubt sell rapidly. Purchasers will not only get the worth of their money, but will be assisting a worthy cause. The car is a new Overland, in excellent condition. It bore two numbers, the one in front being V1525, and the one on the rear 181,869. Marshal Kellenberger took the machine to the P. J. Welsel garage, and is making an effort to discover the owner. It is evident the auto was stolen. This is one of the boldest attempts at burglary ever perpetrated in this region, and the booty which the thief expected to get away with was small. Judging from the cargo in his auto it is evident he was stealing only eatables. Probably the high cost of living impelled him to believe that food was the most valuable thing he could lay his hands on. Earl Alling states that the man was about 35 years of age. It has been discovered that the rear number on the machine was stolen from F. J. Fehrington of Inglewood. It belonged to a Ford, but the car to which it was attached was an Overland.
