While Tom Warnock peacefully slept in his room in the Iowa House Saturday night sneak thieves entered his room by prying open the window screen and gaining entrance. The thieves took Tom's clothing outside and going through the pockets extracted what money they contained, amounting to several dollars. About midnight Tom got up to apply a hot bandage to his eye, which was troubling him and upon again retiring left the light burning. His room is on the ground floor and passers by could see into the room, the curtain having been partly raised. Tom believes that the thieves seeing him soundily sleeping took advantage of the opportunity, since getting into the room was an easy task, and made away with his money.

A couple of men, one being described as tall, wearing a dark suit and cap, entered the Gregg premises on South Los Angeles street Saturday night and attempted to steal Mr. Gregg's automobile.. A member of the household having occasion to go outside at the time, evidently scarred the would be thieves and they beat a hasty retreat. The machine had been tampered with in the endeavor to get it under way, and no doubt the thieves would have accomplished their purpose had they not been molested. While L. Dahlman's auto was left standing downtown Saturday evening it had been tampered with, as had been later ascertained, presumably by some one intent on stealing the car. Officers are working on both cases, but owing to indefinite clews are handicapped. The Parent Teachers association will meet on Tuesday, February 6 at the Fremont school at 3:30. Miss Turner of the high school will speak on the apportionment of funds in the home. The Junior College of the Anaheim high school will debate with the juniors of San Diego high school at the local auditorium tomorrow evening.

Sanchez pleaded guilty before Justice Cox to running a blind pig at Los Alamitos, and also to making two specific sales of liquor, and upon each count was fined $50, making $150 altogether. His place was raided by Sheriff Jackson several months ago. Now that the high cost of paper has come to cut such a figure in the cost of packing citrus fruits, the orange and lemon growers will be interested in knowing that the California Fruit Grower' Exchange has secured a suitable site in Los Angeles and will soon erect a mill for the manufacture of tissue paper which will be used for wrapping the fruit. The paper mill will be operated on a co-operative basis, the same as the fruit growers' supply company which now supplies the citrus packing houses of the big exchange with $4,000,000 worth of box shocks and other material. According to word from Sacramento Assemblyman J. C. Burke has introduced a bill for changing some of the provisions of the county government act that regulates the salaries and number of deputies of county officers of this county. It is understood that the bill as introduced makes but few changes from the county government act now in force, but by introducing the bill now there is opportunity given for amending it at the second session of the legislature, and it is through amendments that the final decision as to what changes shall be made will be reached. Mrs. Jack Burkhart was hostess on Thursday afternoon to the members J. J. Schneider has purchased a Hudson Super-Six, which he believes is the best on the market. J. F. Hutchins of Fullerton, left his bike standing in front of the Anaheim postoffice Wednesday night and when he returned for it found it gone. Some sneak thief rode it away. Through their attorney, Roger C. Dutton, Carrie and Stella Schwentker have applied for letters of administration on the estate of Henry S. Schwentker, who died on May 20. The estate is valued at $5000. County Clerk Williams has received 2000 angler's licenses and he now has them on sale at $1 per. Last year there were 904 licenses bought in this county. The angler's license ars issued for the year from Jan. 1, to Dec. 31, while hunter's licenses run from July 1 to June 30. There is not likely to be any rush for angler's license until the opening of the trout season. E. C. Lee, a Korean who lives at Delhi is likely to find out that county highway trees are expensive forage. According to information that has come to J. B. Joplin, county forestry foreman, Lee has staked a horse beside South Main street, Santa Ana, and though warned to be careful not to allow the horse to reach any of the trees, the stake rope was long enough to allow the horse to nibble plentifully from five beefwood trees, with the result that there is nothing left of these trees except a stub. Joplin swore to a complaint against Lee for staking his horse where it could damage the trees. Two land registration cases, involving about eight parcels of property Gathas & Harrison of the Oyster Loaf cafe, have purchased the Valencia cafe of Osmun & Lehman, and take possession today. The room heretofore occupied by the Oyster Loaf became too small for their business, consequently they were forced to seek larger quarters. The Oyster Loaf has always been a first-rate establishment and the Valencia under the management of these gentlemen, will be one of the best in the South. Daniel Naugle of the Pacific Realty Company, sold 10 acres of walnuts belonging to Fritz Cortes, located 1½ miles south of town, to Mr. Squires who owns a fine orange orchard on the Ball road. The consideratin was $6,000 cash, and is considered one of the best deals made in that section. Dan Naugle has just received a letter from his son, Walter Naugle, who is in Aguila, in the state of Sinoloa, Mexico, where he is engaged as a chemist in a sugar factory. Walter writes that he will be engaged for a couple of months more, when he will return to this city. He likes the country well and believes a great future awaits the development of that country should it ever be put on a stable business basis. Before going to Mexico he was employed as a chemist at the Anaheim Sugar company. Walter is a bright young man and his father is proud of him. Paul Doescher, son of Rev. Doescher of this city appared at the sheriff's office Saturday and laid claim to the piece of human scalp picked up on the highway north of Garden Grove two weeks ago. Doescher said he was loser about an inch and a half square on the top of his head, and he felt cer- the bill as introduced makes but few changes from the county government act now in orce, but by introducing the bill now there is opportunity given for amending it at the second session of the legislature, and it is through amendments that the final decision as to what changes shall be made will be reached. Mrs. Jack Burkhart was hostess on Thursday afternoon to the members of the A. B. C. club at her home on Chartress street. Needlework and conversation was the pastime of the afternoon. The decorations for the occasion were of smilax and China lilies. Late in the afternoon the hostess served refreshments. Those present beside the hostess and son, Chester, were Mesdames L. Callahan, Walter Eakin, Frank Nellesen, Earl Spencer, Walter Sanders, M. B. Tomblin and Fred Wilson. The next meeting will be held today at the home of Mrs. Callahan. J. S. Rockwell, lessee of the sewer farm, reports he has more applications for the sewerage water for irrigation than he can fill. Orchardists in the West section who have used the water say it enriches the soil to a great extent and the luxurious growth upon the trees amply proves its efficacy as a fertilizer. In some instances irrigators had to stop using the water, so luxuriant was the growth of the trees. Some towns and cities dump their sewerage into the ocean which is a loss. The water that flows from the septic tanks, such as the city maintains on its sewer farms, is doing wonders in replenishing the soil with the necessary ingredients to make the land productive. Mr. Rockwell states that everyone who has used the water wants more of it. Police of Fullerton are looking for an alleged check artist who swindled G. W. Finch out of $6 in cash and $1.50 worth of drugs. The stranger went into Finch's drug store late in the afternoon and bought about $1.50 worth of drugs. Then he presented a check for $7.50 in payment. The check was drawn by George H. Hoffman on the First National Bank of Fullerton in favor of H. E. Martin. Finch took the check and handed the stranger the change. The next day the check came back marked "no good." Two land registration cases, involving about eighty parcels of property in the Katella, East Anaheim and Olive districts were set for hearing in Judge Thomas' court yesterday. These two cases are known as Mae Z. Walsworth, et al., and Horace W. Skinner, et al. Attorney Craill of Los Angeles was at Santa Ana last week going over the cases, with Walter Eden, deputy register of titles who enumerated many points that he insisted should be cleared up before the county decides upon the issuance of the certificates requested. Thursday night Stern & Goodman's store at Fullerton was entered by a boy who climbed on a step ladder and through a window. The boys ate some bananas, cheese and sardines, and carried away $3.79 in money and a cheap revolver. Under Sheriff Iman and Deputy Maxwell found the boy's tracks. An attempt was made to break into Elmers Cash store also. A glass on a rear door was broken by two rocks covered with tissue paper. The burglar, however, could not loosen a bar across the inside of the door and failed to get into the store. D. S. Linebarger of Fullerton was a business visitor in town a few days ago, and meeting with many of his old time friends. Mr. Linebarger is giving his time and attention to raising lemons and up in the Brea district has one of the finest young orchards to be found anywhere. He has a fine pumping plant upon the tract and is thus assured of an unlimited amount of water for irrigation purposes. Mr. Linebarger has other holdings in reality that are in a productive state and altogether he has his time well occupied in looking after his ranches. Mr. Linebarger formerly represented this district as a member of the board of supervisors with credit to himself and constituents, but he now eschews politics and says he would not take the best office in the gift of the county as a present. Paul Doescher, son of Rev. Doescher of this city appeared at the sheriff's office Saturday and laid claim to the piece of human scalp picked up on the highway north of Garden Grove two weeks ago. Doescher said he was loser about an inch and a half square on the top of his head, and he felt certain that the piece of scalp would fit in the minus spot on his head, but since his head was bandaged the fitting of the scalp with the wound was not required. Doescher was riding a bicycle toward this city when he hit by an automobile and carried about 225 yards before throwing him off unconscious. In the collision the scalp was undoubtedly torn from the boy's head, and remained on the running board until it jarred off. Miss Mildred Lawrence came in last week from her home in Bowle, Arizona to take a commercial course in the high school here. Victor Browning was a business visitor in town Tuesday from his orange ranch in the Brookshurst section. The next regular meeting of the Ebell society will be held in the parliars of Masonic temple on next Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. It will be a Valentine party and china shower. Each club member is asked to bring a plate, cup and saucer. The chinaware is to be the property of the Ebell club. Elmer Stone, 14-year-old son of Rev. James Stone, formerly pastor of the Presbyterian church in this city, was shot by a Mexican named Elias Valande Tuesday at Ventura and is perhaps fatally injured. Stone and a companion were walking on the beach dressed in bathing suits just at daylight. The Mexican was walking in front of them. Suddenly he turned and fired three shots at the boys, one of the bullets striking Stone in the groin. He is supposed to be fatally wounded.

The hustling oil city of Brea con- Mike Ravas, one of the thirteen Buena Park Mexicans whom Officers Iman and Maxwell took to jail last week, appeared before Justice Cox on Monday in answer to the charge of burglary. Iman had taken him over the scene of the crime, and the boy had confessed everything to him, even going so far as to dig up several articles which he had buried. But Monday morning, when brought into court, he denied everything, and accused his brother and cousin of the crime. He was held to the Juvenile court. A new scheme for bad check artists has been discovered in San Diego and it is thought the man who is operating it may have come through this country. The swindler has checks printed, with the name of some prominent local concern slightly misspelled. These he fills out and cashes promiscuously. In San Diego he used the name of Twohy Brothers, well known contractors. In printing the checks he has the name Twohy changed to Towhy. People are warned to notice the spelling on checks bearing the imprint of the company drawing them. Frank Machlieb is the luckiest man in town. On Monday afternoon he picked up a $20 gold piece on East Center street. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. The pupils of the domestic science department, 8th grade at the Fremont school gave a dinner to the trustees and their wives Thursday evening. The guests were County Superintendent Mitchell and wife, Prof. Van der Veer and wife, and trustees Daniels, Chambers and Boege and their wives. The dinner was prepared by a number of young lady pupils who have taken the domestic science course. The auto supply establishment of H. D. Daniels on South Los Angeles street was burglarized sometime Saturday night and three large tires, two Firestones and one Goodrich, were stolen. Several other articles of a lesser value was also taken. He estimates the loss at about $125. Early in the evening Mr. Daniels noticed two suspicious characters ride up in front of his place upon motorcycles, leaving the machines there for a considerable time. He closed his place of business about 10 o'clock. Entrance was made through the front door, evidently with a pass key, the lock being of ordinary design. Several months ago his place was burglarized and quite a lot of supplies were taken. Mr. Daniels notified the police department early Sunday morning concerning the theft and officers went to work on the case. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. The hustling oil city of Brea continues to attract outside capital and enterprise. H. P. Tobin of Anaheim, will build a handsome and substantial business block on the main street of Brea.

This homely old proverb is of Spanish origin, we believe. It is finding application in the scant attention which republicans are paying to the lamentations of George W. Perkins because the republican national committee has shown a purpose to attend to its own business without first securing an approved program from him. It is hard to tell whether Perkins is more surprised or pained at this. To be sure, he chose an inopportune moment for boiling over; inasmuch as that other shining light in high finance, Tom Lawson, was then monopolizing the front page. In addition, he had little of intrinsic merit in his contention. His complaint was that the republican party, of which he is not a member, would not do as he wished; that he would not deal with a sub committee; and that he wanted to go before a full committee which had shown no inclination to listen to him. The people just now have other things to think of which are of more consequence. GREAT BRITAIN AN ACTIVE COMPETITOR Secretaries McAdoo and Redfield, and Doctor Pratt of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, have for months been trying to convince us that industrially the Allies are dead ones, and we need nevermore fear competition from them. The British Board of Trade reports that during the calendar year 1916, Great Britain increased her exports over 1915 by over $590,000,000, or from $1,867,000,000 in 1915 to $2,457,000,000 in 1916. The board reports that the principal export increases were in manufactured articles, including a gain of over $155,000,000 in cotton textiles. Exports of cotton goods to Central and South America increased over 8,000,000 yards, and to the United States 2,600,000 yards. The chief import increases were in foodstuffs and raw materials, including cotton to the value of $140,000,000. And yet Great Britain has 6,000,000 men under arms, and is pungling $28,000,000 daily to keep the European cauldron boiling. What John Bull will do to us after the war, if the Wilson-Underwood tariff fetters are not struck off, is a plenty. Our imports from the United Kingdom during the first 11 months of 1916 increased $59,000,000, and Great Britain sends us manufactured goods. J. G. Bouslog recently arrived from the East has gone into the automobile business, having associated himself with the Chalmers agency in this city.
