THE S. Q. R. STORE SEVENTH REGIMENT IS SHY OF MUSICIANS Band Master Calling for Recruits to Fill the Gaps Here is an opportunity for the Anaheim band, any of its members, or anybody who can blow a horn or beat a drum. There are many of them unattended in Anaheim: Patriotism can be shown through the mouthpiece of a cornet or big double B bass horn, says F. Edgar Stahl, bandmaster of the Seventh Regiment, C. N. G., who has sent out a call for recruits. He says that the popular idea in civilian life is that everyone who enlists in the army goes into the trenches to fight with a rifle. As a matter of fact, a large percentage of every regiment must be made up of non-combatants, teamsters, hospital men, truck drivers, and so forth. In this class is placed the regimental band members, who supply the regiment with the pep and ginger necessary for parades, and who play the popular concerts that keep the men contented in camp. The Seventh Regiment Band went to the border last summer with 28 musicians and two cooks. The band was the most popular of all the regimental bands in Arizona and New Mexico, playing three concerts each week in Nogales. Because the bands of other regiments were poorly recruited, the Seventh was obliged to furnish most of the music for the entire California contingent. Since the regiment was mustered out of border service the band has suffered through the expiration of enlistments. It is not in shape to perform the work that Southern California expects of its military band. Bandmaster Stahl is sending his appeal broadcast for good musicians—not men that will look at $36 per month with disdain, but men who will volunteer to serve their country in a to be thus active than California. Subject to possible attack either by sea or land, 1000 miles of shore line along the Pacific and a southern boundary exposed to possible invasion from Mexico furnish the justification for action along the line pointed out by the governor, and the state will be quick to respond to the suggestions which he and his defense council may outline. Already announcement is made of some important policies which will have the support of the council, and are already framed for legislation and its members appreciate that after war is upon us would be no time to mobilize our resources or our men. We suspect that no small part of the council's work will be to look to the food supply of the future, and it will be quite as important to mobilize and organize for the harvests from the soil as for the soldiers in the field. An army "fights on its stomach," and there will be many left at home to be provided for. Indeed, one of the real hardships that war brings is the privation suffered by families left at home when the breadwinner follows the flag. When the state troops went to the border there were men in the ranks whose families would have suffered if they had been compelled to stay with the colors, and if war with Germany grows to the proportions that it may, fit men must go, and their dependents must be provided for by just such means as this council of defense. Conditions brought it about that this is Governor Stephen's first really independent suggestion in state policy. It calls for the heartiest response from California.

It is not in shape to perform the work that Southern California expects of its military band. Bandmaster Stahl is sending his appeal broadcast for good musicians—not men that will look at $36 per month with disdain, but men who will volunteer to serve their country in a capacity as necessary to the welfare of the regiment as enlisting to tote a rifle. Musicians who can hold down a place in a fairly good band, and who want to enlist, can get quick action by applying at the recruiting station at Fourth and Broadway, Lis Angeles. FOREHANDED Governor Stephens took a look ahead when, in his message of two weeks ago, he proposed measures for state defense, but the rapid succession of events amply justifies the executive in the innovation. For it was an innovation, and in only two other states have such suggestion been made, and only New York and Massachusetts have gone beyond California in assuming responsibility for a certain measure of preparedness. National defense had until now been regarded as a mater solely for national action. Congress provides for the army and navy, for ships to fight on the seas and for land defenses along the coast, and until now the states had not thought of concerning themselves in such activities. But awakened to the lack of such protection, the nation is now aroused and state as well as nation is on guard. No state in the union has more call independent suggestion in state policy. It calls for the heartiest response from California. Long Beach Property for Anaheim Ranch—119-121 East Anaheim street, two five room new bungalows, 50x150 ft. lot, two garages, $8000. 127 W.

A long time ago when Oliver Hill was down on the ranch an estray horse came to his place and he kept the animal for a couple of weeks, thinking its owner would show up. The horse later got away into a neighbor's field and he kept him awhile, awaiting its owners arrival. As no claimant put in his appearance the horse was finally sold at auction at Garden Grove. Mr. Hill bid him in for $19.50. The horse was young and under its new owner's skillful driving developed speed. In coming to town Oliver would throw dust into the eyes of horsemen for miles around. Once when he was going to Santa Ana a man who thought he had a pretty good roadster attempted to pass him. Oliver said giddap to his pony and away he went leaving the other horse away in the rear. When the man came up he inquired where Oliver secured the race horse, saying however, he had another at home, which he would bring up and clean him. Oliver told him to trot him out and they would see about it, but the match never was pulled off. Later Mr. Hill sold the horse for $150, and its new owner after driving him for a few months declined to part with him for $500.

This plant is nineteen years of age, and has grown to such proportions that it entirely covers an arbor. It has been photographed, but the photographer's art cannot do justice to it, as it cannot reproduce the delicate color, which is its chief beauty. It is a native of Japan, and Mrs. Hartung states that while in that country two years ago, she and Mr. Hartung observed that it is grown there chiefly as an arbor shade, but they saw none more beautiful than their own California tree.
