A farmer living between this city and Fullerton, brought in a load of cabbage Tuesday, drawn by two horses, for which he received a check for more than $600. He had six tons of cabbage on the wagon and its trailer, and it is worth a little better than $100 per ton now. The Associated Chambers of Commerce were entertained by the Ladies' club of Placentia on Wednesday evening. There was a good attendance and much interest was taken in the deliberations of the meeting. The subject, "Should the county prisoners work—if not, why not?" was discussed at length. A number of persons reported having lost purses or articles of value through the activity of pickpockets during the Elk celebration last Tuesday night. One of the light-fingered gentlemen attempted to relieve G. W. Hamler of his pocketbook, but was detected in the act. Mr. Hamler nabbed him and handed him over to Officer Germann. He gave his name as H. R. Harris. He spent the night in the city jail, and was turned over to Los Angeles authorities the next day. Louis Hachmeyer, who will be remembered as having held a position with H. W. Braden in his machine shop here a year ago, has been appointed quartermaster sergeant in the Seventh regiment infantry. Louis was in town a few days ago renewing old acquaintances, before taking up his duties with the military organization. Cooney Mauerhan has installed a punching bag in the engine room at the city hall and takes daily practice with the weight reducer. Cooney is fast becoming an expert in the manly art of self-defense, and will soon be ready to issue challenges to all comers. Francis V. Keesling, grand master of the Masonic lodge, was tendered a reception by the Masons at Santa Ana on Friday evening, to which order the grand master paid a fraternal visit. The singing of the Temple Square quartet of this city was a feature of the evening. The quartet is composed of Messrs. Braden, Angell, Cunningham and Anderson. The New Grand theatre has been showing to big houses the past week, and in fact, always has good audiences. Manager Mozart knows how to get the big attractions, and in many instances books the leading plays before showing in Los Angeles. The best is none too good for Mr. Mozart, and he delights in giving the people of Anaheim and vicinity the best photoplay. R. A. Scott of Los Angeles was a business visitor in town Saturday. Mr. Scott was formerly a resident of this city, and was pleased to see the rapid advancement being made here. The Anaheim Laundry company is one of the busy home institutions that is receiving its just share of the local patronage, and that is as it should be. The laundry employs many people and its payroll is one of large proportions. The enterprising owners, Messrs. G. M. Theodore, Nicolas Theodore and George Theodore, are to be congratulated for their good business principles in the able management of their rapidly expanding trade. Judge West on Wednesday gave the possession of Harry A. Sweetman, a 5-year-old boy, to Harry Sweetman, the father. Testimony put on by Attorney S. M. Reinhaus was conclusive as to the parentage of the boy. While Sweetman was in Salt Lake City the child was put in St. Catherine's Orphanage at Anaheim, and the money for keeping the child there was furnished through someone in San Diego. The Sisters who testified were of the opinion that it was the child's mother, who District Attorney answer of Orange brought by A.

He will receive six months' instruction on shore, and will then go to sea on one of Uncle Sam's ships. Foster will give a good account of himself wherever he is placed. Dan Naugle is recovering from his serious auto accident which happened several months ago, when he was injured internally. He is now well on the way to recovery and his many friends hope to see him soon enjoying his former robust health. Mrs. W. J. Cole entertained about forty of her friends at her home, "Hardscrabble Farm" on Wednesday afternoon last. A most delightful afternoon was spent in playing five hundred at which the first prize, a bureau scarf, was won by Miss Sophie Rimpau and the second, a table runner, by Mrs. Strodthoff, while Mrs. Bennerscheidt captured the consolation, a doiley. Delicious refreshments were served at the small tables which were decorated with spring flowers, and at each place was a dainty basket of bon-bons. Mobilization of thousands of vigorous young boys throughout the nation into an army of farm workers to assist in enlarging the food production was begun Tuesday by the department of labor. Secretary Wilson, calling together the chiefs of bureaus in his department, authorized an immediate canvass of the entire country and enlistment of youthful recruits who will serve in the Boys' Working reserve, U. S. A. Not less than 6,500-000 boys are eligible for service under the plan and a good percentage of this number probably will be available for immediate planting work. Work of repairing the county road leading to the sugar factory and beef and provision company is now under way, and the road will be put in good shape. Local Notes Mr. and Mrs. Willard C. Sheafer of Long Beach, were visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Criss Sunday. Mrs. Sheafer and Mrs. Criss were school mates back in eastern Ohio in their younger days. Dale Quarton has received a letter from Congressman Kettner in which he is advised that his principal passed the physical examination for admission to the Anapolis naval academy, and that both of Kettner’s appointees have been thus admitted to the academy. Dale was first of a large number of alternates, and his marks were very high. He is keenly disappointed in not securing admission to the naval academy, but has not given up hope, and will probably try again later on. May good luck attend him. Officers of Company 26, Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, went up to Los Angeles Saturday night and assisted in the election of a new colonel for the third regiment. The Anaheim contingent was composed of Major B. T. Beale, Captain Alexander Henry, Captain Walter Amstutz and Second Lieutenant Frank F. Davis. Thirty officers were present and they elected Captain Granger of Company 6, San Diego, colonel. Company 6 is noted for its well drilled men. At present it is drilling with the newly formed home guard, Col. Granger being the drill master. District Attorney West has filed the answer of Orange county to the suit brought by A. Otis Birch et al, with regard to the assessment of property of the Birch Oil company. The answer denies the allegation of the plaintiff to the effect that the valuation placed by County Assessor Sleeper on the lands mentioned were in excess of their true value. It denies that the value is less than $645,120, which is the amount of the as- E. G. Cassiday and family spent Sunday in the vicinity of San Pedro. Roy and Frank Charleston returned Monday evening from a business trip to Coachella. The gentlemen report crops doing fine in that section. Henry Richmueller is now sailing around the boulevards in a new Chevrolet purchased the first of the week. Transfer of ownership has been made by the Evening Herald Publishing company to H. E. Lyon of lot 4, block 109, Sunset Beach. Charles B. Halley was cited to appear before Judge West last Thursday and explain why he had not obeyed an order of the court instructing him to pay $5 per week to his wife and attorney’s fees. He was $50 in arrears. Jack Burkhart and Earl Spencer left this city early Sunday morning for Laguna Beach, after promising all their friends that they need not lay in a supply of meat for Monday as they would furnish the fish. The meat markets did business as usual Monday. Elton S. Goble this week severs his connection with the Anaheim National Bank, and his position as cashier will be taken by Howard Krause, the assistant cashier. Elton will move his family to Victorville, and will assume the cashiership of the First National Bank which will be opened there as soon as the new building is completed. Mr. and Mrs. Goble are leaving a long list of warm friends in Anaheim, who will commend them to the good people of the Victor valley. A letter was received Wednesday from Sergt. Hollis Knowlton dated from "somewhere in California." The censorship is very strict and he was not allowed to state where his company is stationed or how long he ex- The skating rink has evacuated the Anaheim opera house building and the stirring strains of "Tipperary" and "I Love You, California," no longer disturb the evening meditations of the residents of that vicinity. O. E. Steward and Dave Hamler, city surveyors, were busy Tuesday drawing lines for the new building which F. A. Hartman will immediately begin erecting. The First National Bank building is completed and that financial institution moved from its cramped quarters in the rear into its new home the first of the week. There is plenty of elbow room in the new place. It is one of the most beautiful buildings in Orange county, and the banking rooms are elegant and well appointed. The formation of a "beet brigade" with numbers ready and willing to assist in ranch work in this vicinity when their services are needed, is in process of formation among the students of the Santa Ana high school. Approximately 100 boys are to be ready as "minute men" to respond to the call of farmers, especially in the sugar beet districts, in need of additional labor. As yet none of the boys have been excused for this work, and if the labor situation clears their services may not be needed. High school officials feel they should not excuse the students unless their labor in the fields will be more important than their studies. Ranchers who find themselves in need of numbers of hands on the ranch which are not available, may make arrangements for securing the high school lads through Principal D. K. Hammond. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Stern entertained a number of friends at their beautiful home on Zeyn street Tuesday night. The guests present were Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Backs, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. E. Borchard, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. McCord, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Schneider, District Attorney West has filed the answer of Orange county to the suit brought by A. Otis Birch et al, with regard to the assessment of property of the Birch Oil company. The answer denies the allegation of the plaintiff to the effect that the valuation placed by County Assessor Sleeper on the lands mentioned were in excess of their true value. It denies that the value is less than $645,120, which is the amount of the assessment. It further denies that the lands were valued at a lower figure than similar lands surrounding them. A number of instances are cited in which the assessment is said to have been made on the same basis. Suit for dissolution of a dairy owned jointly by John L. Marapoulos and Peter Karoles of Anaheim was filed in the Superior Court. The dissolution is in the form of a complaint, sworn to by Marapoulos, in which he alleges that he agreed to furnish to the company certain live stock, machinery, etc., and that Karoles was to furnish a lease on property. The lease was valued at $25,000. Plaintiff states that after the company was under operation, Karoles gold the lease to another party who was in no way connected with the business. As a result he seeks relief from the court, in the shape of a receiver, dissolution and a restraining order against Karoles for further sales. County officers are hunting for a burglar who has been making the rounds of stores at Olive, Placentia, Buena Park and Stanton. Friday night the man entered E. F. McKibben's store at Stanton and stole six pairs of shoes and a dozen pocket knives. Herbert Kendall, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Kendall of Santa Ana, has volunteered to go to France as a member of an ambulance corps. Kendall is a student at the University of California, where he joined with other students who are to start for France in May. Judgment has been rendered in favor of Clara M.

Bank which will be opened there as soon as the new building is completed. Mr. and Mrs. Goble are leaving a long list of warm friends in Anaheim, who will commend them to the good people of the Victor valley. A letter was received Wednesday from Sergt. Hollis Knowlton dated from "somewhere in California." The censorship is very strict and he was not allowed to state where his company is stationed or how long he expects to be there. He knew the letter would have to pass through the censor's hands and tried to avoid saying anything that would not pass, but one line was deleted. He states that the food is plentiful and well served and that life would be quite enjoyable if it were not for the terrific wind that blows every night. They put in all the time drilling and are more than ready to turn in at night. They expect to see active service soon, but do not know when or where. A gentleman having a ranch near the railroad tracks on the Los Alamitos branch of the S. P., in speaking of the Mexican labor situation, said that during the past month he has seen but one Mexican hiking along the railway by-path. Formerly dozens were to be seen going and coming. Desiring help upon the ranch he frequently called in men passing along in that neighborhood. Now it is different, and in certain quarters there is a decided slump in the Mexican labor situation. On Saturday cabbage was quoted at $100 per ton, a gentleman residing here having that day been offered that price for his coming crop, which will be ready for shipment in a few days. In some quarters it was said $110 per ton had been offered. Onions were quoted at 15 cents per pound, while potatoes ranged as high as 6 cents. It would appear to the layman that farmers would plant every inch of their land to these commodities, and while now reaping the top prices, bountiful crops in these products in the near future would no doubt give the ordinary mortal a chance to invest in them for home consumption. Cy Sparkes was in town Saturday from his ranch in the West section, and reports crops looking their best at this time of year. Mr. Sparkes believes the present high prices for foodstuffs are due principally to specula- Mr. and Mrs. Herman Stern entertained a number of friends at their beautiful home on Zeyn street Tuesday night. The guests present were Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Backs, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. E. Borchard, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. McCord, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Schneider, Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth, Hugo Strodthoff, Misses Sophie and Marie Rimpau and Miss Annie Ryan. Five Hundred was played, F. A. Backs winning the gentlemen's prize and Miss Sophie Rimpau the ladies. A delicious luncheon was served by the hostess. F. A. Hartman of Los Angeles was in town a few days ago looking after his business interests in this city. Mr. Hartman will begin at once the erection of a modern two-story building upon the site now occupied by the operahouse at the corner of Center and Olive streets. The new building will be one of the finest in the city, and work upon its construction will be rushed to an early completion. While in the city Mr. Hartman was the guest of Max Nebelung. The second trial of F. B. Kern against John Kellenberger, city marshal, resulted in a disagreement of the jury in teh superior court last week. At the first trial last fall the jury also disagreed. The case has been set for retrial in the near future. The plaintiff sues for damages, claiming to have been falsely arrested and imprisoned in the city jail. Numerous witnesses were called in the case, which occupied the attention of the court for several days. The jury stood 8 to 4, and being unable to agree upon a verdict were discharged by the court, and the case was reset for trial. FOR SALE—Upright piano, 508 E. Center street.

Martin against Nicholas Bittner on a suit for $609.17 and costs to the amount of $6.75. Out seeing the world, Dan Goodan and A. C. Anderson, both of Fresno, got into an automobile at Anaheim and returned home. Anderson is in San Quentin on a five year sentence, and Monday Goodan was found guilty of felony. He will be sentenced Friday. Goodan declared he was innocent of the theft. He and Anderson were out together knocking around, working one place, then another. In his testimony Goodan said Anderson told him he bought the automobile, and it was not until they were within 18 miles of Fresno that Anderson told him to look out for the police. His story had some weak spots in it, and the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. Attorney Reinhaus, who defended him gave notice to Judge West that he would ask for probation for Goodan. The new lodge of Elks held their first regular meeting in Masonic hall Tuesday night. It was decided that the lodge meet every Wednesday night at 8 o'clock. The next meeting will be held May second, in the Masonic hall. Grand Ball, Odd Fellows hall, April 30th, under the auspices of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen for the purpose of buying uniforms for the young men's military guard. Schmidt's orchestra. Admission 50c per couple. Cy Sparkes was in town Saturday from his ranch in the West section, and reports crops looking their best at this time of year. Mr. Sparkes believes the present high prices for foodstuffs are due principally to speculation, which should be stopped by the government. He is of the opinion that the idea of making every acre of land produce something is a good one and will in great measure set matters aright. Years ago when the Los Alamitos sugar factory was established Mr. Sparkes and his brother Bob donated ten acres for a factory site. The brothers are pioneers of this section and their ranches are among the best in the courtyard. The creation of back yard gardens is receiving keen attention by the citizens of the city, and especially among the rising generation. Committees have been appointed to adopt rules and regulations governing the planting of all kinds of vegetables, and the first, second and third prizes are to be offered for the best gardens that are brought into view. Already there is keen rivalry among the boys and girls who are anxious to have the best stands of growing crops, and each are striving to annex the first prize. The new order of making every acre produce something of value in the line of foodstuff is of a vast value to every man, woman and child in this nation, and the people of Anaheim intend to do their best.

Hickerson of Los Angeles, son of Mrs. Julia Hickerson of this city, had the misfortune to break both date the bill. It is said one farmer out west does not let his windmill run all day, things being so high. George X. Hickerson of Los Angeles, son of Mrs. Julia Hickerson of this city, had the misfortune to break both bones of his right arm while cranking an auto last Wednesday. After being treated at a hospital he resumed his work at once. Mr. Hickerson is one of the most successful salesmen of the Janss Investment company's force. Mrs. J. A. Hickerson returned home last week after enjoying a two-weeks' visit with an old Omaha friend, who now resides in Perris. Failure of brakes to respond to the demand made on them resulted Tuesday afternoon in a machine driven by Frank Yopp of Anaheim damaging one wheel of a machine belonging to J. A. Dowell of Tustin. Dowell's car was standing on East Fourth street, Santa Ana and Yopp was turning around on the street when the accident happened. Two or three spokes in a wheel of the Dowell car were broken. The barbers of this city have decided to raise hair cutting to 35 cents per head, and 5 cents for neck shave, all of which is occasioned by the high cost of living, it is said. Some of the tonsorial artists have said that in case their farmer friends did not happen to have the price, that a couple of onions or a few potatoes would liqui-date the bill. It is said one farmer out west does not let his windmill run all day, things being so high. In printing a list last week of the boys who assisted in moving this office to its new quarters we mentioned William Gaston as one of the representatives of the Southern Counties Gas company, and in consequence thereof the writer has been called down. The efficient manipulator of pipes referred to says his name is not Umland but Umland He admits his first name is Bill, but the other name is Umland, it was Umland yesterday, it was Umland a year ago—in fact he was born Umland, and has never had occasion to sail under false colors. Anyhow he considers Umland a better sounding name than Gaston, and we agree with him. We herewith offer an apology, Bill. Shake.

Fullerton has organized a large company of home guards with Prof. E. W. Hauck as captain. The professor has seen service in actual war. He was a Philippine soldier and captain of his company.
