Four corporals will officer the platoon, which will have thirty-two men. With the exception of rifle practice being held on the Company L range, the platoon will be practically a Fullerton organization. The men will be drilled at Fullerton and they will have their equipment there. Two residents of Anaheim made application for citizenship this week. They were Gottlieb Bergman, a rancher who was born in Schlerlheim, Germany, 61 years ago, and has resided in this country since 1883, and John Dillon, a native of Canada, who came here in 1905. He is 56 years of age. The two-year-old baby of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Thayer won a prize at the recent Nebraska picnic in Los Angeles.

Dr. Paschall is rapidly regaining his health, and makes three trips to Los Angeles weekly to consult his physician. He will doubtless soon be restored to his usual vigorous robust physical condition. Tommy Hedges at a recent meeting of the Order of Eagles was honored by being elected president of the Aerie. Tommy has a fine flock of fledglings under his wing and that he will look after them with the best of care admits of no doubt. Yea! Yea! P. J.

The famous George Primrose White Minstrel troupe is coming to Anaheim and will give an entertainment in its big tent tomorrow night. Some of the biggest stars in mistreldom belong to this company. Among them are Charles Hasty, Messrs. Young and Ward, America's foremost banjo soloists, Harry Griffin, ballad singer, and trombone soloist, the Western Comedy Four, the Harmonious Quartette, and numerous others. It is a first class company, and the show will be worth the money. The tent will be pitched on the vacant ground east of the Central school house. That it is not altogether newcomers who are paying the high prices quoted on Valencia lands is evidenced by the fact that City Councilman W. A. Greenleaf of Santa Ana has just paid FOR SALE AT GARDEN GROVE Nine room house. Living room, built-in window seat and book cases.

The Anaheim de- Mrs. Leo Sheridan entertained the Wednesday Afternoon Five Hundred club at the J. S. Sheridan residence on North Los Angeles street last week, her sister, Mrs. Albert Karlen and Miss Vadia Wilber of Dakota being guests of honor.

The Orange County Jack Knife club met at the Oyster Loaf cafe Tuesday night and enjoyed an excellent dinner, 28 members being present. Two new members were added. Sam Grenon, advance agent for the Primrose Minstrels which show here on Friday evening, was in town on Saturday making arrangement for the performance. Mr. Grenon is an old-time theatrical agent, and has been in harness many years. He says the Primrose Minstrels is one of the best on the road. The pupils of Loara school will give an entertainment tomorrow evening at the school auditorium. An interesting program has been prepared, and an invitation is extended to all friends. No admission will be charged. W. E. Duckworth and family and Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Maurer motored 212 miles Sunday, visiting San Bernardino, Pasadena and other towns. They only had two blowouts on the trip. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Burkhart spent Sunday with the latter's sister, Mrs. Bastanchury at their ranch near Fullerton. That it is not altogether newcomers who are paying the high prices quoted on Valencia lands is evidenced by the fact that City Councilman W. A. Greenleaf of Santa Ana has just paid a little better than $2000 an acre for a Valencia grove at Olive. He purchased the property of Carl Timie, the tract containing 8.12 acres, for which he paid $17,000. The property adjoins a piece which Greenleaf has owned for a number of years and is set to Valencias, the trees varying in age from seven to ten years. Things are changing for the better in Anaheim so rapidly that men cannot begin a building without altering the plans before it is completed. Stephen Kistler started to build a one-story brick business block, containing three store rooms, opposite the city hall. After work had commenced on the structure the Knights of Columbus insisted that he add another story and lease the entire floor to them for a lodge room. The walls of the building are now completed. Why is it that a better grade of oranges is not served upon public occasions, when banquets are held and where many strangers are usually in attendance? The question has often been asked and it seems never has been adequately answered. At these functions oranges are usually served that are worse than culls and areseldom if ever eaten at the table. It would appear that the best grade of fruit should at all times be served. Here where the orange grows to perfection nothing but the best should be placed before the banqueters, especially when we have company. It has also been frequently commented upon that in the larger cities of the Southland a poor grade of oranges are usually placed on sale for the local trade. That is not good business. D. B. Horton, representing the Byron Jackson Iron Works, was a business visitor in town the other day. Mr. Horton's firm was the successful bidder when bids were opened by the Western Comedy Four, the Harmonious Quarterette, and numerous others. It is a first class company, and the show will be worth the money. The tent will be pitched on the vacant ground east of the Central school house. By unanimous decision of the judges Anaheim high school won in its debate with Inglewood high Friday night on the latter's own rostrum. The question was, "Resolved: That intrascholastic athletics should be substituted for interscholastic." The Anaheim debaters were Miss Erma Mills and Alva Rogers. Sixty students of the high school accompanied the debaters to Inglewood and rooted for them. Secretary Wallop reports brisk applications for water from irrigators, and more than 3000 inches are delivered daily. The Yorba and Truffree reservoirs are full, and pumping plants will be put in operation probably in June. Mrs. Ida Dutton was hostess to the Loara Parent Teachers' association last Thursday afternoon. Twenty-five ladies were present. The afternoon was spent in fancy work, the hostess serving refreshments. Josef Ransler, who died in this city on March 21, specified in his will that none of his property should go to his son, Joseph, declaring that he is "a drunkard and a worthless fellow." He left an estate estimated to be valued at $5750. The will directs the executor, Roger C. Dutton, and the courts to divide the residue of Ransler's estate among several persons, all of whom live at Napa, and all of whom are understood to be relatives of the deceased. One short paragraph disposes of the son. In those brief words appears the story of a disrupted home through the separation of father and son. Apparently it has been years since the father heard from the son. In his petition Attorney Dutton states that he does not know the address of the son, Joseph Ransler, Jr. The Orange County Taxpayers' League adopted a resolution Saturday rescinding its action of March 10, opposing the construction of a coast boulevard. The change of attitude of the league was due to the fact that since the meeting of March 10 the coast road has virtually become a military necessity. The message of Gov. W. E. Duckworth and family and Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Maurer motored 212 miles Sunday, visiting San Bernardino, Pasadena and other towns. They only had two blowouts on the trip. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Burkhart spent Sunday with the latter's sister, Mrs. Bastanchury at their ranch near Fullerton. On account of ill health William Schumacher of the Palace market, is taking a rest and George Saulsburg of Santa Ana, is assisting in the business. Mr. Schumacher will spend a week or two at Wheeler Springs. J. W. Duckworth and wife spent Sunday visiting friends at Azusa. Mrs. Emma Bayha has petitioned for letters of administration on the estate of her husband, Erwin Bayha. The estate is valued at $41,550. Ernest Clabaugh, who belongs to the engineer corps of the United States army, and is stationed at Bluewater, New Mexico, has been commissioned a second lieutenant in the corps. Mrs. Charles Eygabroad went up to Pomona Thursday to visit her daughter, Mrs. Linn Birdsall. Carl Neff, Charles Koehler, Kasper Chimeris, George Huntington, Ernest Beard and Red Henry went over to the Modjeska ranch Sunday on a hunt for bob cats and coyotes. Game was not very plentiful that day, not a single animal being sighted. Mrs. Cora Mann made a business trip to Los Angeles Tuesday. D. B. Horton, representing the Byron Jackson Iron Works, was a business visitor in town the other day. Mr. Horton's firm was the successful bidder when bids were opened by the city for a new fire pump, which will be installed at the plant as soon as possible. Mr. Horton says his firm has sold a number of pumps at various places in this county, in fact, have been furnishing pumps at various points throughout Southern California. Many of the pumps are used to lift water for irrigation, which indicates that many acres are being put under cultivation. The large Tulare lake is being drained of its supply of water, a pump lifting three millions per minute being used for that purpose. The land within the lake's area is being reclaimed, and will be devoted to agricultural pursuits. Mr. Horton lives at Santa Ana and his full activities embrace this county and Ventura county. He has many friends in Anaheim who are always glad to see him. Everett King, editor of the Garden Grove News, was married at Los Angeles last week to Miss Mae Haley. King is going to learn by experience whether or not it is just as cheap to keep two people as one. We extend good wishes to him. Mrs. Lovina Kirk and son Edward, who have been visiting friends here, left last week for their home in Saskatchewan, Canada. Mrs. Kirk is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Adams. The Orange County Taxpayers' League adopted a resolution Saturday rescinding its action of March 10, opposing the construction of a coast boulevard. The change of attitude of the league was due to the fact that since the meeting of March 10 the coast road has virtually become a military necessity. The message of Gov. Stephens declaring for a coast road for military purposes, and the probability that the road would be built largely by state and federal funds caused the advisory committee of the league to decide that an endorsement of the project should be given. A birthday surprise party was given O. B. Baxter at the home of his mother one evening last week. Twenty friends were present and they carried with them many good things to eat. Games were played until a late hour in the evening. George Hoffman of Los Angeles, was in town Monday, and inspected the Anaheim fire department. He represents the Pyrene Manufacturing company. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Heying, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Lake, Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Harrison and Mrs. Henry Heying visited with Mr. and Mrs. Otto Heying in Los Angeles Sunday. The George J. Birkel Co. of Los Angeles is opening up a branch of its large piano house in Anaheim, space having been secured with the Weber Book and Music Store. W. P. MacArtor will have charge of the business. Mr. MacArtor states that this is not a clean-up sale, but is to be a permanent Anaheim business. APRIL STYLES OF Wirthmor Waists $1.00 Each Temptingly pretty styles!

Always Worth More Also 4 new models Welworth Blouses $2.00 Each FALKENSTEIN'S HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Anaheim won the third and last in THE TORRENS LAW Editor Gazette:—Looking over the HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Anaheim won the third and last interscholastic debate of the season. The debate was held at Inglewood last Friday evening. Anaheim represented by Miss Erma Mills and Alva Rogers, had the negative side of the question. "Resolved: That intrascholastic athletics should be substituted for interscholastic athletics in high schools." The affirmative took the stand that interscholastic athletics were a detriment to the student physically and mentally and that intrascholastic athletics were the only remedy. The negative granted that there were evils in interscholastic athletics but that these could be overcome. They brought in statistics to prove that the average cost was low and that the majority of the principals of the high schools in Southern California were against the substitution of one form of athletics for the other. So well did they present their case that the judges were unanimous in their decision. The score by points was Inglewood 190, Anaheim 200 2-3. A baseball team consisting of members of the faculty and Junior College won the right to call themselves champions by defeating the Freshmen team by a 20 to 17 score. The Freshmen beat the Juniors and the Sophomores defeated the Seniors. In the game between the Sophs and Freshies the Freshies won by the score of 7 to 2. This was the best game of the series. But the Freshies were not champions very long for Friday they lost to the faculty and Junior College team. A language play is to be given Friday, March 30 in the high school auditorium by the Spanish and German departments. Both departments have been working for a long time. The plays are bound to be a success. Next week is a vacation for both students and faculty. Friday is the end of the third quarter and after a vacation of a week the last quarter will begin. THE TORRENS LAW Editor Gazette:—Looking over the columns of the Anaheim Herald of March the 16th, I noticed a small item in regard to the legality of the Torreens title act. They claim that the highest courts of the land have definitely and finally and conclusively passed upon the question. Every superior court to which the question has been presented has decided that the law is constitutional and legal. If that is the case, why do they ask the members to write a personal letter to the Senator asking him to vote and work for Senate Bills Nos. 628, 791, 792, 793; also one to the Assemblyman asking him to vote for the Assembly companion bills to these Senate bills? They don't hesitate to make their third request because they do so need funds to carry on their important campaign to send out budgets of mail similar to the ones they have been sending and some one at Sacramento to look after their measures if they would send $2.00 that with the help they hope to have from some of the other people in Los Angeles county who have registered property would enable them to succeed. So they have not succeeded. There were upwards of seventy-five or eighty hard working farmers living in the vicinity of West Anaheim and Garden Grove congregated at the court house in Santa Ana January 29th to become members of the association. Crall & Crail were present raking in hundreds of honest dollars from the farmers and in less than a month notified members to write a personal letter to the Senator and Assemblyman and send $2.00 to the association to make it a success. If the Torreens Title act were legal there would be no necessity of all this. Yours truly, BILL. William Falkenstein and family spent Sunday visiting friends in San Bernardino.
