FOURTH OF MARCH ON SUNDAY For the first time since the inauguration of Rutherford B. Hayes in 1877, the fourth of March this year falls on Sunday. The last time this occurred previous to that date was in 1849, when Zachary Taylor became president. The terms of office of President Wilson and Vice President Marshall expire at noon on Sunday, March 4. Hayes took the oath of office on Saturday, March 3, but the constitution was strained to permit it. Taylor was inaugurated on Monday, March 5. Woodrow Wilson has these two precedents before him. He and Marshall with both cease to be officials at noon on Sunday unless they take the oath the previous day, which is not probable. If the inauguration is held on Monday there will be a period of twenty-four hours in which the United States will have no president. The constitution provides, however, that like kingdoms and empires this nation is never without a head, consequently the chief executive during those twenty-four hours will be Champ Clark, speaker of the house of representatives. The fourth of March was chosen as inaugural day by our forefathers because it falls on Sunday less frequently than any other day of the year. The 29th of February, which comes only every four years, is responsible for est business in the history of the industry. Stock brokerage firms are not far behind them. The increase in the Federal income tax has made municipal bond issues very attractive to bond buyers. This fact will, in the end, work great hardship upon the taxpaying public. Extravagance in governmental management is not confined to the United States government, but to all governmental officials, state and municipal. In the fact that any sort of a municipal bond will readily sell, they see easy money for all sorts of schemes. The result already is a municipal bonded indebtedness that will be extremely wearisome to discharge. Many of the so called permanent improvements, including roads, will have crumbled into dust long before the obligations on which the money was raised to build them are retired. Another $300,000,000 British loan has been recently underwritten by a group of Eastern banks, showing that there are ample funds in the hands of the American people for such investments. A loan of $50,000,000 to Russia is being talked of. Gold is so abundant with us, that in some quarters unsecured loans to the Allies in large amounts is being advocated. MR. AND MRS.

ANAHEIM PEOPLE EFFECT OF WAR PROFITS To fully realize what the war has done for America it is only necessary to glance at the totals of our recent exports. In August of this year they amounted to a total of $509,778,680. In September to a total 512,487,957 The October exports will probably be fully as large as those of August. The excess of exports from the United States over imports, for the year 1916, will, to all appearances, run to over $2,500,000,000. We are getting our own prices for most commodities exported. The nation has grown so rich in two years that its people are, to a large extent, financially demoralized. "Come easy, go easy," is certainly being carried out by many of our people at the present time. In those sections of the country particularly benefited by the present foreign conditions, extravagance of every kind is in evidence. Labor is fully employed and being remunerated as a higher figure than ever before. Prduction in many manufacturing centers is curtailed by the fact that labor has grown so independent that it serves when it pleases and lays off when it pleases. The cost of living and of all the necessities of life, including clothing, machinery, farm implements, public utility equipment, etc., never was as high as it is today. Speculation is running high. Fortunes are being made overnight by men of nerve and foresight. Some of the people of this great nation of ours are living in a fool's paradise. Some day an end of this easy money will be with us. It will be necessary for us then to settle down to a saner life than we, as a nation, are now following. Many will not be prepared for the change. Disaster will overtake ENTERTAIN FRIENDS Dinner Party Sunday in Honor of Visitors From San Francisco and Oakland Mr. and Mrs. John Cassou entertained a party of thirty relatives at their home on West Center street Sunday. The dinner was given in honor of Mrs. Barney Cassou of San Francisco and Mrs. Joseph Cassou of Oakland, who have been visiting here for some weeks. Nearly all of the guests were from Los Angeles. They were Mr. and Mrs. John Masslin and daughter Stella, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Sarrail, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Sarrial, Mr. and Mrs. Silvain Sarrail, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Sarrail, Mr. and Mrs. Celestine Couget, Mrs. J. C. Couget, Mr. and Mrs. J. Sarrail, Misses Bertha, Pauline, Hazel and Lucile Sarrail, Albert Edward and Clarence Sarrail, all of Los Angeles and Mr. and Mrs. August Tousson and daughter Emma, of Fullerton. The guests partook of a sumptuous dinner which had been prepared by the hostess, and in the evening they formed a theatre party and witnessed the play at the Fairyland, which opened up in the new Cassou building the previous night. The large crowds present at the opening of the New Fairyland theatre last Saturday night were enthusiastic in praise of the beautiful decorations of the house, the color scheme being old rose, old ivory and gold. The idea was conceived by Mrs. C. L. Head, wife of the manager of Fairyland, and is a creditable reflection on her good taste. Floyd Keallher and Ashleigh Chamberlain who own a tungsten mine at Randsburg, closed down the works temporarily some weeks ago and have returned to Anaheim. The mine was producing a large amount of metal, but the market became overstocked, consequently they concluded to close down until there was again a demand for it. Mrs. A. L. Tomblin of Orange, spent a few days the last of the week visiting at the home of her grandson, M. B. Tomblin. The action of Superior Judge Z. B. West in the appointment of Coroner Winbigler administrator of the estate chinery, farm implements, public utility equipment, etc., never was as high as it is today. Speculation is running high. Fortunes are being made overnight by men of nerve and foresight. Some of the people of this great nation of ours are living in a fool's paradise. Some day an end of this easy money will be with us. It will be necessary for us then to settle down to a saner life than we, as a nation, are now following. Many will not be prepared for the change. Disaster will overtake them. With the war profits gone, labor will have to be satisfied with normal wages or go unemployed. Merchants and manufacturers will have to be satisfied with normal profits. With decreased shipmens railroad earnings will again fall away. The speculator will find his field of operations seriously curtailed. What goes up in speculative values must come down. The higher the ascent the greater the descent. At present, cheap money is the siren that is luring many to increased activity. Never before in the history of this country have the merchants, manufacturers and speculators borrowed money as low rates of interest as they are now doing. Cheap money always leads to expansion. The very government itself seems to be influenced by our plethoric condition and is wilfully extravagant in managing its affairs. The contrast between the financial condition and mental attitude of investors during 1914 and the first half of 1915 and at the present time, could not be better illustrated than by the readiness with which all bonds of any merit are now sold as soon as offered in America. Early in 1915 the brokerage firms and bond houses in New York City were systematically assisting former employees whom they had discharged for lack of business in their respective offices. Today, all of these employees and many more are at work. The bond houses are doing the great- ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, Nov. 23 PUBLIC LAVATORIES WILL BE INSTALLED City Trustees Have Plans Submitted, Which no Doubt Will be Accepted Tonight In all probability the board of trustees will approve of the plans tonight as outlined for the installation of public lavatories and rest rooms in the lower room on the north side of the library building. The sketch calls for modern equipment for both sexes, and will be accessible from an entrance on the east and north sides of the building. The accommodations will be up-to-date and strictly sanitary. The cost will be about $2000, and the trustees realize that Anaheim should keep up with all progressive cities and have the public conveniences installed. The rooms will be under the care of a competent janitor and will be a credit to the city. The place will be so arranged that should occasion require enlargement of the premises may be made. The matter of installing these accommodations has been discussed at various public meetings and the trustees at a recent session referred the same to the committee on public improvements. Trustee Stark, who is chairman of the committee, consulted an architect and had the plans drawn. The plans when completed as outlined will cost $2000, but by eliminating some of the equipment the sum of $500 could be saved. The trustees however approved of the original plans as submitted and no doubt will accept them and order the work done immediately.

TOURNAMENT OF ROSES A band of over 100 pieces, one of the largest ever assembled in Southern California, will play a massed concert of patriotic and popular airs on New Year's afternoon as a feature of the twenty-eighth annual Tournament of Roses at Pasadena. The leading bands participating in the Tournament of Roses parade are to be joined into one for an hour preceding the afternoon football game at Tournament park. The big game will be between the University of Pennsylvania, representing the east, and a western team yet to be chosen, which is to be selected as the strongest in the northwest or California. A marvelously beautiful floral parade, even more magnificent than those of other Tournaments, is already assured. All Southern California communities have been invited to partici- ANAHEIM PEOPLE INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENT Stage Turne Turtle Near Whittier Burying Passengers Beneath It Four Anaheim people were injured when the 16-passenger auto stage, which makes the run between this city and Los Angeles, overturned near Whittier shortly after nine o'clock on Tuesday morning. The car left Anaheim at 8 o'clock in charge of Harry Michael, with a number of passengers, and when it reached the scene of the accident fourteen people were on board. A mile this side of Whittier, near the Southern Counties Gas Company's works the car struck a wet piece of pavement, skidded and turned over, burying the passengers beneath it. Harry Michael, the chauffeur, J. R. Shearer and Mr. and Mrs. Monte Webb, all of Anaheim, were injured. Mr. and Mrs. Webb, who were only slightly hurt, went on to the city, but Michael and Shearer were taken to the Whittier hospital. Michael was bruised and badly cut by the broken windshield, while Shearer's side was bruised and it was supposed a couple of ribs were broken. S. C. Stevens of Fullerton sustained a wrenched back and internal injuries. James Ortega was also considerably bruised. A number of other passengers were cut and bruised. The owners of the stage carry a $10,000 accident insurance policy. The car was traveling at a speed of 20 miles an hour when the accident occurred. The driver was not to blame.

EGG LAYING CONTEST The fifth national egg laying contest closed October 31, 1916, having been in many respects the greatest contest ever held. All previous records were broken except individual. The leading pen was Barred Plymouth Rocks owned by Wm. Lloyd, Kirkwood, Missouri. The pen of five hens laid 1185 eggs, or an average of 237 eggs per hen.

Night Death claimed one of Anaheim's brightest and most popular young men when Conrad Schneider, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. F. H. Schneider, died at the family home, corner of East and Sycamore streets, Saturday night, from pneumonia with which he had been stricken nine days previously. The young man was nineteen years of age, and was a senior in the Anaheim high school. He was one of the most promising and most popular students in the school, and at the beginning of the term was elected president of the student body. Funeral services were held at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Malcom C. Martin of the Presbyterian church, being in charge. Members of Conrad's Sunday school class acted as pall bearers. Many beautiful floral offerings were sent to the chapel by sorrowing friends and in the long procession which followed him to the cemetery one auto was entirely filed with flowers. The flag on the high school was half masted on receipt of the news of his death, and Tuesday afternoon the school was dismissed, the students attending the funeral in a body. The remains were placed in the mausoleum at the Anaheim cemetery. ADVERTISING LETTERS W. Gonzalez, Pedro G. Duan, Mrs. C. C.

EGG LAYING CONTEST The fifth national egg laying contest closed October 31, 1915, having been in many respects the greatest contest ever held. All previous records were broken except individual. The leading pen was Barred Plymouth Rocks owned by Wm. Lidyd, Kirkwood, Missouri. The pen of five hens laid 1185 eggs, or an average of 237 eggs per hen. The highest previous record was by S. C. White Leghorns with an average of 230 eggs per hen. The individual record was made by a S. C. White Leghorn owned by Hollywood Farm, Hollywood, Washington, with a record of 275 eggs. The ten highest pens each averaged more than 218 eggs per hen, while the five highest hens averaged 263 eggs each. There were 106 hens, or over 20 per cent of all in the contest, which laid 200 eggs or more during the year. Following is a list of the ten highest pons for the year: Barred Plymouth Rocks, Missouri, 1186; Oregon, 1159; S. C. White Leghorns, Washington, 1101; S. C. White Leghorns, Pennsylvania, 1100; R. C.

County School Superintendent Mitchell desired to make helpful to the teachers, this county was able to secure speakers who will be on the coast from the East for the purpose of speaking at the Southern California Institute in Los Angeles, December 21 and 22. Upon the program as finally arranged by Mitchell appear the following: Dr. E. B. Bryan, president Colgate College, Hamilton, N. Y.; Mark Kepel, superintendent of schools, Los Angeles county; Dr. James Henry McLaren, Pasadena; W. G. Hartranft, lecturer, San Francisco; Prof. Thomas H. Briggs, Teachers' College, Columbia University; Miss Eloise Sterling, Pasadena High School; Miss Theda Geldemeister, State Normal, Winona, Minn.; Miss Elizabeth Kepple, Los Angeles State Normal School; Will C. Wood, commissioner of secondary education Secramento; Dr. Calvin N. exports of fresh beef fell off 58,000-000 pounds or nearly one third. Pickled beef fell off one third. Bacon showed a substantial increase, but it was not quite one-sixth. There was a very slight increase in hams and shoulders. There was a decrease of 22,000,000 pounds in lard. The increase in pickled pork was under 10 per cent. The value of all the meat exports was worth, in round numbers, $176,-000,000 last year and $179,000,000 this year. The increase is very small, and in view of the advance in prices, it proves that the quantity exported was less than last year. The wheat crop is undeniably short, though it is nearly or quite equal to the domestic requirements, and a large surplus was brought over from last year. Probably the main factor in the increase of food is the universal employment at high wages, as a result of which the working people are buying more and better food than ever before. The wheat market shows some signs of manipulation. The supply of animal food has been scarcely keeping pace with the growth of population, and the increased prosperity of the wage earners has given a sudden stimulus to the demand. NEW CHECK GAME Several merchants were visited by a new type of swindler at Pomona, and business men in other cities might well be on the lookout for him. He came to town and deposited $20 in one of the banks, using the name of George Wall. Later in the day he withdrew the money. Then he went to one clothing store, bought a suit of clothes for $25, and paid for it with a check, calling attention to the fact that he couldn't get into the bank at that hour. He visited another store and bought $7 worth on the same arrangement. Altogether he put out six checks, and it now develops that he slipped out of town after touching up the business men for $100 worth of merchandise by giving an old check game a new twist. MRS. O'NEIL DEAD Mrs. Alice O'Neil, 93, widow of the late Richard O'Neil, owner of the great Santa Margarita ranch, died at her ranch home, five miles northeast of San Diego, Monday. For more than fifty years Mrs. O'Neil had been a resident of the county. With her husband, the late Richard O'Neil, they settled upon the Santa Margarita, consisting of thousands upon thousands of acres, in the early days. It was her home until her death. Santa Margarita is famed as one of the great California estates. From the mountains of the Coast Range to the Pacific, through three counties, it stretches for miles, forming one of the greatest ranches in the West. She leaves two sons, Jerome O'Neil and Richard O'Neil Jr., and a daugh- year.

Dierker, local garage man will play the leading role in the pictureization of Orange county beautiful in the Richard O'Neil, they settled upon the Santa Margarita, consisting of thousands upon thousands of acres, in the early days. It was her home until her death. Santa Margarita is famed as one of the great California estates. From the mountains of the Coast Range to the Pacific, through three counties, it stretches for miles, forming one of the greatest ranches in the West. She leaves two sons, Jerome O'Neil and Richard O'Neil, Jr., and a daughter, Mrs. J. J. McDade, of San Francisco, the wife of former Sheriff McDade of that county. The body will be sent to San Francisco, where the funeral will be held. FOOD EXPORTS To whatever causes the high prices of food may be attributed, the exports cannot be held responsible. We have been exporting less food in 1916 than we did in 1915. In the first eight months of this year our exports of wheat were more than 40,000,000 bushels behind those of the corresponding eight months a year ago. The exports of wheat flour show no appreciable change. But a decrease in the wheat exports from nearly 141,000,000 to a little over 100,000,000 bushels is not a change calculated to raise prices, and it must have had some influence in retarding the increase. There was also some decrease in the export of corn. In August, which must have been about the first month of exporting from the new crop, the exports this year were one third less than a year ago. The exact figures are, 1915, 16,838,313 bushels, and 1916, 11,059,980 bushels. The export of canned beef in the eight months dropped over 23,000,000 pounds, or almost 40 per cent. The ORANGE COUNTY PLAY H.'E. Dierker, local garage man will play the leading role in the pictureization of Orange county beautiful in the Continental Film Company play, "Opportunity," is was announced at the company's studio at Orange. Mr. Dierker has real ability in the histronic line, and is cast in an heroic physical mould that is bound to prove valuable as an asset to acting. Mrs. Ray Handy of Orange, Miss Flora Faust of Santa Ana, and Miss Haselle Waldfer of Anaheim, will be featured in the leading feminine roles. They were the contest winners in the three cities. Rehearsals for the play are now in progress and the taking of scenes will begin Wednesday. H. C. McClung has been employed as camera man. He is an experienced operator who has taken pictures of the Los Angeles High School for Los Angeles county, and some of his work took prizes at the San Francisco Exposition. "Opportunity" was written by Miss Dorothy Twist of Santa Ana. It is a skillfully constructed mining romance, in which the main points of attraction in Orange county are presented in the course of developing the picture's plot. The Huntington Beach ball team was defeated by the locals Sunday in a hot game, the score being 1 to 0. This is the sixth game the Anaheim boys have played this season being the victors in every one of them.
