Hartung for $400. Several years ago some of this stock changed hands here on a cash basis of $40 per share. At that time it appeared as though sugar would be put on the free list. Peck & Colby have finished remodeling their store building, making it one of the finest establishments in the county. Plate glass fronts have been installed on the Center street side and extending for a number of feet on the Lemon street side, giving the place a metropolitan appearance. A fine stock of general merchandise is on hand, and Messrs. Peck & Colby report a flourishing business. A miniature still, being an exact reproduction of a full sized one, is on exhibition in the window of the Fisher Wine Company. It is run by electric power, and shows the entire process of manufacture of whiskey. This unique apparatus is the property of the Sunnybrook distillery of Louisville, Ky. It was on exhibition at the St. Louis fair, and also at the San Francisco exposition. It was loaned to the Fisher company for a month. The Anaheim Junior college was defeated in a debate with U. S. C. Freshmen at the high school auditorium Friday evening, the subject being, "Resolved, that the United States should control and operate the telephone and A. Pierotti of Placentia was a business visitor in town Saturday and made a pleasant call at this office. Mr. Pierotti has one of the finest orange orchards in his section, and has many friends in this city who are always glad to see him. Raymond Earle Nebelung and Frank Anderson are doing their bit to help this country in the present crisis. The boys have leased 30 acres of land near Richfield and are working early and late planting it to beans. At the present price of beans these young men will be in the "rubber-tired" class at harvest time. Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Mitchell came up from Long Beach Monday to note the progress being made on their splendid new business block at the corner of Los Angeles and Center streets. Mr. Mitchell states that the corner room of the building has been leased to the Heying pharmacy, and the west room to the Woolworths of New York, owners of the Woolworth building, the tallest in the world. They will open a 5, 10 and 15 cent store in it. The rooms will be open for occupancy June 1. Mr. Mitchell is still a loyal Anahelmer and expects to see the town continue to grow and fulfill his prophecies of years ago. Capt. Herman Stern has been asked by the citizens of Placentia to take charge of the Home guards of that The walnut grower trict are predicting that the coming season will one. The walnuts are of two and three to four foliage is unusually fungus, the appearances in the June drought entirely absent from the price will be no longer than last year which J. C.

The price down to $40 a ter starting out with too much for the unique apparatus is the property of the Sunnybrook distillery of Louisville, Ky. It was on exhibition at the St. Louis fair, and also at the San Francisco exposition. It was loaned to the Fisher company for a month. The Anaheim Junior college was defeated in a debate with U. S. C. Freshmen at the high school auditorium Friday evening, the subject being, "Resolved, that the United States should control and operate the telephone and telegraph systems." Anaheim upheld the affirmative side, and the decision of the judge was two to one in favor of the negative. Fred Seims and Henry Mang were the Anaheim debaters, while Messrs. Lautenbach and Charleston represented U. S. C. Prof. Smith of Whittier, Prof. Hoenschol of Downey and Miss Hammond of Santa Ana were the judges. Funeral of J. B. Mundy, who died on Monday, May 7, at his home in Pasadena, was held Thursday at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors Thursday, and the remains were laid to rest in the Anaheim mausoleum At the funeral Mrs. Madge Blackwood, his daughter, at the request of the deceased, sang "The Rosary," while Mrs. Harry Felling, his niece, accompanied her on the plano. The widow and her daughter, Miss M. B. Mundy and Mrs. Blackwood, visited with Mr. and Mrs. Felling a couple of days, returning to Pasadena Saturday. Mr. Mundy was for years a newspaper man in Missouri, but retired because of ill health. Miss Annie Bentjen was in Los Angeles Tuesday visiting friends. Ray Angel is now at Goat Island, San Francisco bay. He is an apprentice seaman, and will be assigned to a ship. Capt. Herman Stern has been asked by the citizens of Placentia to take charge of the Home guards of that town. Capt. Stern accepted and now gives the men weekly drills and instruction in the manual of arms. The guards are making good progress under his command and the members are taking a keen interest in the organization. Capt. Stern is a good drillmaster and is taking a patriotic interest in the formation of home-guards. When the company was first assembled many members displayed a marked degree of awkwardness, but readily acquired a military bearing under Capt. Stern's instruction and it is safe to say that the Placentia home guards will became one of the finest in the state, ready for their country's call, should such occasion arise. Prof. Carson, who was substituted for Alexander Irvine at the Chautauqua Saturday morning and lectured on "The Trenches of Life," was brought back and made an interesting talk to the high school students Monday morning. Charles Eygabroad went over to Corona and brought him here and after the lecture Prof. Prince took him to San Bernardino in Mr. Eygabroad's car. His subject was "The Key that Unlocks the Door of Opportunity." Mr. and Mrs. George Weatherly were visiting in Los Angeles Sunday. Local cabbage grown ohrns with the crop one prominent grower said that not another cut unless a fair price the vegetable. The price down to $40 a ter starting out with too much for the gue bucked.

Hatton, 20, of Upland have been granted a license to wed. Among the many Anaheim young men who have answered their country's call are J. Kenyon Lybarger, who has enlisted in the automobile corps, and Clyde V. Webb, in the hospital service. Both are expecting summons to report any day. The Elks lodge are planning to make a gala event upon the occasion of Elks' Flag Day, which occurs on June 14th. Many visiting brethren will be in attendance and citizens generally will participate in the patriotic services. At the meeting of the Woman's Home Missionary Society, held at Garden Grove a few evenings ago, when an excellent patriotic program was rendered, the reading given by Miss Veda R. Walker, expression teacher of the Anaheim high school, deserves no small mention, as it was one of high merit and extremely well given. It is not at all improbable that in future the city trustees will insist that all service wires of public utilities be placed under ground. When franchises are up for renewal it is believed that that will be the policy of the present board of trustees. Trustee Stark intimated as much at the meeting Thursday evening, and his senti- Mr. and Mrs. Joseph A. Lieb have returned from their honeymoon trip and have taken up their residence at 207 North Claudina street. Mr. and Mrs. John Chambers and two children of Barstow are visiting in town, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Chambers. Brawley had the honor of shipping the first tomatoes grown in Southern California, two crates going to the San Francisco market. They were grown in No. 8 district. The tomatoes were well colored and of good size. Soon heavy shipments of the fruit will begin. The tomato acreage this season is quite heavy. The problem of disposing of the surplus after two or three weeks after the coast product comes into the market is a problem which growers in the valley are working on. Peter P. Hovley, who operated a cannery some years ago in another section of California, is investigating the situation with a view of canning the surplus. The city trustees in the near future will take preliminary steps toward paving Kroeger and Citron streets and also the two alleys south of Center. Property owners on Kroeger street several months ago petitioned to have that thoroughfare paved, but the council deferred action until such time when other streets could be included. The paving of Citron street is deemed by the trustees to be worthy, as storm water naturally drains to some extent to that quarter in its course to the west and south. A number of owners along the two alleys have also petitioned to have them paved. The board under the 1911 act has power to order the paving of streets, where they deem such to be a public benefit. The walnut growers in the Brea district are predicting that the crop for the coming season will be a banner one. The walnuts are set in clusters of two and three to the cluster. The foliage is unusually uniform and the fungus, the appearance of which results in the June dropping, is almost entirely absent from the trees. What the price will be nobody knows, but it is probable that it will be higher than last year which was 15½ cents. J. C. Whalley's store at Stanton was entered by thieves a few night ago, but nothing was taken except a few stamps. Entrance to the store was gained by brying open a window. The M. C. McKibbon store was also entered by the men, entrance to this place being gained by breaking the glass in the rear door and making their get-away with nine pair of shoes, two boxes of perfumery and some chewing tobacco. It is believed that the men are the same who have recently entered stores at Olive, Buena Park and other small towns in this county. Local cabbage growers have locked ohrns with the cabbage trust and one prominent grower the other day said that not another head would be cut unless a fair price was paid for the vegetable. The trust sent the price down to $40 a ton last week, after starting out with $100. That was too much for the growers and they It is not at all improbable that in future the city trustees will insist that all service wires of public utilities be placed under ground. When franchises are up for renewal it is believed that that will be the policy of the present board of trustees. Trustee Stark intimated as much at the meeting Thursday evening, and his sentiments found favor with others present. A. L. Young of San Francisco was a business visitor in town a few days ago, and after telling the city trustees of the many good features and money saving qualities of his Elgin street sweeper, he is in a fair way of selling the city one of the sweepers, which are now used in many cities. Mr. Young was in Anaheim twenty years ago, and of course sees many substantial improvements being made all over the Southland. Oscar Ronning was a business visitor in town the other day from his ranch at Buena Park. He has leased 80 acres there and will put the entire tract under cultivation, having plenty of water for irrigation. He is also interested in a tract of land in the upper valley, which is set to grain, and doing nicely. Oscar believes there is a great future for all lines of farm products. J. J. Schneider and John Brunworth, city trustees and J. W. Sackett, street superintendent, returned a few days ago from San Francisco, where they witnessed demonstrations of the Elgin street sweeper. Other up-coast cities where the sweeper is used were also visited. The gentlemen declare the machine the best they ever saw, as it cleans the street thoroughly and is absolutely dustless. A marriage license has been issued to Harley E. Shafer, 20, of Orange and Miss Pearl E. Hayward, 20, of this city. G. C. Backus, representing R. G. Dun & Co., the mercantile agency, was in town a few days ago on business. A young married man here, receiving $15 per week, has bargained to buy on time, a second-hand auto, valuation time when other streets could be included. The paving of Citron street is deemed by the trustees to be worthy, as storm water naturally drains to some extent to that quarter in its course to the west and south. A number of owners along the two alleys have also petitioned to have them paved. The board under the 1911 act has power to order the paving of streets, where they deem such to be a public benefit. With a revolver, Constable Edward Kennedy at Los Alamitos Saturday night stopped the onslaughts of Joseph Brown, proprietor of a barber shop and poolroom. Before the constable could get his gun out of its holster, Brown slashed at him twice with a knife and cut him on the right forearm. Kennedy says that Brown was drinking and that in the middle of the night he ordered Brown to go to bed. Later Kennedy was called out of bed by a report that Brown was trying to break into Glenn Merrill's house. The constable arrested Brown, who suddenly dashed at him with a knife. Brown declares that Kennedy robbed him of $125. The sheriff's office thinks Brown's accusation to be preposterous. The rooming house at 116 West Chartrees street, Anaheim, is to be locked up for one year. The furniture is ordered sold. This was the order given by Judge West as the ending of the first case ever brought in Orange county under the Redlight Abatement act. Dr. W. S. McFarlane, veterinary surgeon, owner of the building, was present at the trial with Attorney Leonard Evans. The district attorney's office, which put the case through, was represented by Deputies A. E. Koepsel and W. F. Menton. Judge West was convinced from the evidence that the rooming house had been a public nuisance under the provisions of the act. Two other cases growing out of a recent raid at Anaheim are to be heard. Another of the properties sought to be closed is owned by Dr. McFarlane. The Anaheim friends of Mrs. Olive Adams, who formerly resided here, will be sorry to hear of her death which occurred at her home in Santa Ana Thursday night. Funeral was held Friday, the remains being taken to Los Angeles for cremation. She leaves three daughters: Mrs. Charlotte Local cabbage growers have locked ohrns with the cabbage trust and one prominent grower the other day said that not another head would be cut unless a fair price was paid for the vegetable. The trust sent the price down to $40 a ton last week, after starting out with $100. That was too much for the growers and they bucked. It is said that unless a compromise is reached as to price harvesting will cease, because the growers will not let the middleman slip one over on them. Dan Goodan of Fresno has been given a sentence of two years in Folsom. Judge West selected Folsom because Anderson, who was considered the leader in the theft of an automobile in this city, is in San Quentin, to which place he was sent to serve a five-year term. Judge West inquired in detail into what Goodan had been doing for the last three or four years. Goodan was hazy in the outline. He worked here and there, and only once in a while was he able to remember just why he left one job and went hunting for another. When Goodan was tried he declared that his pal, Anderson, who was brought here to give testimony, was the one who stole the automobile. The two were arrested at Fresno and were brought to this city for trial by Marshal Kellenberger. Santa Ana appointed Saturday, May 19, as clean up day, and all the school boys in the city were enlisted for the work. That city ought to look mighty clean Sunday morning, and the boys will be none the worse for their exercise. A marriage license has been issued to Harley E. Shafer, 20, of Orange and Miss Pearl E. Hayward, 20, of this city. G. C. Backus, representing R. G. Dun & Co., the mercantile agency, was in town a few days ago on business. A young married man here, receiving $15 per week, has bargained to buy on time, a second-hand auto, valued at $300. How do they do it? Trustee Stark has in view the lowering of the tax rate. The advancement made by the city in the past few years will greatly increase the taxable property, and a lower tax rate. Mr. Stark maintains, should indubitably follow. The people should receive the benefit of this wealth increasing unit, and there is no good reason why people should be excessively taxed only to horde the money up in the treasury. The Yeoman ladies will give a surprise and novel entertainment May 21 at 7:30 p.m. sharp, for Yeomen and their friends. All Yeomen are expected to assist. A good time is assured. Thirty members of the Yeoman lodge met at the home of W. S. Bernard, Chartres and Olive streets Monday night and spent a delightful evening with music and cards. Mrs. Lellah Camp, corresponding secretary of the Anaheim Yeomen, was one of the California secretaries to receive one of the prizes in his national contest. The prize consists of a free trip to the national conclave at Detroit, Mich. The Anaheim friends of Mrs. Olive Adams, who formerly resided here, will be sorry to hear of her death which occurred at her home in Santa Ana Thursday night. Funeral was held Friday, the remains being taken to Los Angeles for cremation. She leaves three daughters, Mrs. Charlotte Cornelille-Gill, and Misses Jean and Grace Adams. Misses Frances Schmidt and Elleen Adams entertained a number of young friends at a weiner bake Thursday night. The party was held at the home of Miss Schmidt. Nearly twenty guests were present, being enjoyably entertained by the young hostess. A large number of Anaheim people were at Seal Beach Sunday, taking in the races and other stunts of the Los Angeles Motorcycle club festival.

Miss Jeanette Jessurun was visiting in Los Angeles Saturday. Miss Viola Muckenthaler, who has been spending a month with friends in Los Angeles, returned to her home Saturday. Mrs. A. W. Brickford of Pasadena, formerly of this city, visited in town this week, a guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Thayer. Mrs. Bickford has not been in Anaheim in twelve years, and sees many changes and improvements here since the time when she was a resident here, her husband having been one of the leading physicians of this section. She is hale and hearty in her 80th year, and while here met a number of old time friends who were glad to meet her. Dr. Bickford passed away three years ago, having been an inmate of a sanitarium some three years before his death, as he had lost his mind and was taken to the sanitarium for treatment. While J. C. and C. J. Mauerhan and families were en route to San Francisco they stopped at Jamestown for a brief visit with their old time friends, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Miller, who formerly resided here. The renewal of old acquaintances was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The agility of C. J. Richardson of Long Beach saved him from probably serious or fatal injuries Sunday afternoon, when Richardson’s motorcycle collided with an automobile driven by E. N. Cook of Anaheim. The accident happened at the corner of Main and Ocean, Seal Beach. Richardson saw a crash was impending, and jumped to safety as his motorcycle was struck and crushed under the heavy car. The motor was directly beneath the automobile when it was stopped. Richardson was not in The case of S. Murrata and wife of Garden Grove, against John H. Cook, in which the Japs asked $25,000 damages for injuries received by Mrs. Murrata in an automobile collision, has been dismissed. Articles of incorporation have been filed by the American Beet Harvester company. The company is capitalized for $25,000, and the directors are Samuel C. Beale and Anna B. Knight of Los Angeles and C. C. and W. C. Collins of Santa Ana. The machine that this company proposes to push forward is one that is reported to go down the field, take out the beets, top them, and deposit the beets in piles of a suitable size. A few years ago Beale was interested in a company that put out a hay baler, in which a number of Santa Ana men wer interested.

N. Cook of Anaheim. The accident happened at the corner of Main and Ocean, Seal Beach. Richardson saw a crash was impending, and jumped to safety as his motorcycle was struck and crushed under the heavy car. The motor was directly beneath the automobile when it was stopped. Richardson was not injured. Bogus five dollar gold pieces were scattered among Santa Ana stores Saturday afternoon by two men who passed a number of the bad coins, while making purchases. Besides the merchandise they escaped with a considerable amount of change received for the gold pieces. W. J. Bryan spoke to an audience of Orange county Y. M. C. A. workers at the Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon, his subject being "The Crisis, and How to Meet It." Two hundred and fifty invitations had been issued and nearly all who received them responded. Mr. Bryan told what the Y. M. C. A. could do to help the nation during the war. A large number of Anaheim people went to the beaches last week to gather grunions. The run Thursday night was unusually large, one party returning with over sixty pounds of the small fish. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Clement, Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Beebe, of Anaheim, Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Shell and Mr. and Mrs. Bert Clement of Santa Ana formed a party and motored to Sierra the other evening to surf fish.
