CITIZENS MAKE PATRIOTIC DISPLAY THOUSANDS IN A PROCESSION, MARCH DOWN CENTER ST., ON REGISTRATION DAY FULLERTON AND PLACENTIA BOTH JOIN IN THE BIG DEMONSTRATION Any person, if such a person exists, who has been harboring a doubt of the loyalty of the people of Anaheim and northern Orange county would have had that doubt dispelled had he been in this city Tuesday afternoon and witnessed the patriotic display. Thousands of people gathered here from all regions and testified that their heart was in the cause by either joining in the parade or cheering the procession as it passed, by. Red Cross nurses in their natty uniforms and male members without uniforms mingled with the multitude of people, enrolling hundreds and gathering in the sheckle were answering the call and offering their services to the government, but he appeared to think the mothers, the wives, the sisters and the sweethearts of the boys were deserving of more sympathy than the men who went forth to battle. The boys wanted to go, but the mothers were making the sacrifice with breaking hearts. It was the duty of the army that was being formed, he said, to form a wall between this nation, its helpless people and a foreign foe. Like the living wall of Sparta every man in the American army is a brick. He told of the sacrifices made by the people of the United States, men, women and children, in former national crises, and believed the same patriotic spirit animated them now. Teh Fullerton home guard made a splendid showing in the parade. There are 122 of them, and they were armed and dressed in the regulation kakhi. They evolved and maneuvered on the street and went into hamp when the ground was reached. We want to hand a bouquet to the Fullerton high school also. They were here in force and added much to the beauty of the parade. There was some disappointment because the Placentia airship was not sent into the air, but it was explained that its internal affairs had not yet been arranged. However being on the ground the people got a better view of it. CITY HALL REFERENCE COMMUNITY TRUSTEES COOK, AND DWYER TREE ARCHITECT CITY BUYS MOTOR STREET SWEEP $5500 The city trustees mansion Thursday evening pose of receiving bids for the city a four-cylinder street sweeper. The Mayor Schneider, Cook, Brunworth andey Ames was present. There was only one and that was from Machinery company. Their bid was accepted. Trustee Cook spokejecting the bid andthe open market and had that doubt dispelled had he been in this city Tuesday afternoon and witnessed the patriotic display. Thousands of people gathered here from all regions and testified that their heart was in the cause by either joining in the parade or cheering the procession as it passed, by. Red Cross nurses in their natty uniforms and male members without uniforms mingled with the multitude of people, enrolling hundreds and gathering in the sheckels. Hundreds of automobiles congested the streets most of them profusely decorated, but Old Glory was the only colors used in the decorations. The principal exercises of the day were staged on the campus of the Fremont school, but a procession formed in two divisions on North and South Philadelphia street, swung into Center and marched down to the grounds. John Reuther was the chief marshal and was assisted by H. M. Adams, A. Bayliss, Ralph McFadden, Charles Hosea, E. L. Davis, and Walter Deakin. Some delay was caused in starting by the belated arrival of the Placentia aviation corps with the airship, but it finally hove in site on East Center street and the procession got under way in the following order: Anaheim band, Mexican school, kindergarten school, primary schools, intermediate schools, grammar school, Fullerton high school, Fullerton Junior college, Fullerton high school cadets, Anaheim high school, Anaheim junior college, Fullerton home guards, Placentia aviation corps with the aeroplane, a company of rough riders, the boy scouts with a drum corps, Uniform Rank, Kinghts of Pythias, Knights of Columbus, Y. M. C. A., Order of Eagles, Modern Woodmen, Red Cross society, W. C. T. U., the old boys of '61, Parent Teachers Association, the United States navy and Uncle Sam's post office force. Hundreds of citizens in autos joined the procession and followed to the school grounds where the exercises were to take place. The congestion on West Center street was so great that two traffic policemen were required to straighten out the tangle. While there were many handsomers people in the parade than "the boys of '61," the gray haired vets were undoubtedly the most popular, as they were repeatedly cheered. One of these old vets was chosen to preside at the exercises, Rev. A. B. Markle was the chairman. He made a short but stirring street and went into hamp when the ground was reached. We want to hand a bouquet to the Fullerton high school also. They were here in force and added much to the beauty of the parade. There was some disappointment because the Placentia airship was not sent into the air, but it was explained that its internal affairs had not yet been arranged. However being on the ground the people got a better view of it.

GUARDSMEN ATTACKED Five California National Guardsmen were attacked late Monday night by mysterious assailants who fired from the west side of the Santa Fe bridge, between this city and Orange, which the men were guarding. Nearly 100 shots were exchanged between the guards and the attackers, who are thought to have been Mexicans. Privates Tolle and Swisher who were doing guard duty on the east side of the bridge. Three other guardsmen were asleep in a tent. The attack was heralded by a sudden fusillade. The three guardsmen in the tent ran to the assistance of their companions, who were energetically returning the fire.

The congestion on West Center street was so great that two traffic policemen were required to straighten out the tangle. While there were many handsomer people in the parade than "the boys of '61," the gray haired vets were undoubtedly the most popular, as they were repeatedly cheered. One of these old vets was chosen to preside at the exercises, Rev. A. B. Markle was the chairman. He made a short but stirring address in opening the meeting. He said he had lived through three wars in which the American government was engaged, and in every one of them it had been triumphant. He expected to live to see it triumph also in the war in which the young men of the nation were pledging themselves that day. The program began with singing "The Red, White and Blue," by the Anaheim high school. After an invocation by Rev. Harry White the band played "The Star Spangled Banner." Chairman Markle then introduced Leonard Wilson of Los Angeles, one of the speakers of the day. Mr. Wilson is a young man but he is an eloquent orator, his speech being a eulogy of the past achievements of the American people and an appeal to the present generation of young men to do their duty. He stated that he had registered in Los Angeles before coming to Anaheim, and that he fully expected to go to the war. His father and mother were both dead, he was unmarried and had nobody dependent upon him. In the nation's hour of need it was his duty to respond to the call, and he wanted to go. After a song by the pupils of the Grammar school, Chairman Markle introduced Prof. S. C. Hartranft. Mr. Hartranft was on the program for a heart to heart talk with the boys who Nearly 100 shots were exchanged between the guards and the attackers, who are thought to have been Mexicans. Privates Tolle and Swisher who were doing guard duty on the east side of the bridge. Three other guardsmen were asleep in a tent. The attack was heralded by a sudden fusillade. The three guardsmen in the tent ran to the assistance of their companions, who were energetically returning the fire. Returning from Orange, Private Wateman narrowly escaped being shot when he came within range of the firing. A bullet whizzed by his head. He fell flat and was not hit. When the shooting from the other side of the bridge died down the guards made a rush. Their investigations revealed no tract of the attackers. Presumably the attack was led by a Mexican who, drunk had been ordered off the bridge earlier in the evening. It is thought that he became enraged, gathered a number of his friends and returned to make the sortie. BANK RESOURCES Resources of the country's national banks have reached another high record. Comptroller Williams announced that on May 1, the date of the last bank call, the assets of the banks aggregated $16,144,000,000, an increase of $165,090,000,000 since the last call, March 5, and nearly two billions since a year ago. Reserves of $948,000,000, with reserve banks and $763,000,000 in their own vaults, were reported by the banks, the combined total with reserve banks and in vault exceeding legal requirements by $26,000,000. Deposits reached the new high record of $13,075,000,000, exceeding by $118,000,000 those of March 5 and by $1,944,000,000 those of a year ago. Trustee Dwyer misquoted in the book and did not make a tribute to him; although piece expressed his garding the "rich sigh" claim that the purchase three months ago showed favorites bids received were banks-Morse company from the Ellis Co.

Under this board decided to NAHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, June 7, 1917 CITY HALL MATTER REFERRED TO COMMITTEE TRUSTEES COOK, BRUNWORTH AND DWYER TO CONSULT ARCHITECT CITY BUYS MOTOR DRIVEN ELGIN STREET SWEEPER, COSTING $5500 The city trustees met in special session Thursday evening for the purpose of receiving bids for furnishing the city a four-cylinder motor driven street sweeper. There were present Mayor Schneider, Trustees Stark, Cook, Brunworth and Dwyer. Attorney Ames was present. There was only one bid submitted, and that was from the A. L. Young Machinery company of San Francisco. Their bid was accepted, although Trustee Cook spoke in favor of rejecting the bid and then going into the open market and buying a sweep-gine. Trustee Dwyer voting in favor of the transaction. Trustee Dwyer also said that the turning down of the Snyder bid for West Broadway paving also was included in the "rich stuff" spoken of. At the time the Snyder bid was received a committee consisting of Engineer Steward and Street Superintendent Sackett were instructed to investigate his work done in other cities and the report of the committee to the board of trustees was unfavorable. On the strength of the committee's report the Snyder bid was rejected. The contract later was awarded to another contractor at a lower figure. The trustees maintain everything done in connection with these two transactions were open and above board, and that there was nothing to conceal. Trustee Dwyer said he did not care to further discuss the matter at this time, and said he would leave it for the people to decide later, and the incident was closed. Trustee Stark offered a resolution that the chair appoint a committee of three to look into the matter of building a city hall upon the present site, and to interview architects, relative to drawing plans for the same. Trustees Stark, Cook and Brunworth voted in favor of the resolution. Trustee Dwyer voting in the negative. Mayor Schneider appointed Trus- EVERY CITIZEN EXPECTED TO DO HIS BIT T. L. McFADDEN MAKES PATRIOTIC ADDRESS AT BOARD OF TRADE LUNCHEON PLACENTIA AEROPLANE BUILDER EXPECTS TO ERECT A LARGE FACTORY Although local speakers were engaged to entertain the people at the business men's luncheon Thursday, the addresses were excellent and appropriate to the time. There were two speakers on this occasion, both of them being from Placentia. Attorney T. L. McFadden was the first, and he made a patriotic address, pointing out what each man could do in the crisis now confronting the nation to assist in the prosecution of the war. According to Tom's theory there is no man or woman in the United States who cannot do his or her bit toward winning the struggle.

There were present Mayor Schneider, Trustees Stark, Cook, Brunworth and Dwyer. Attorney Ames was present. There was only one bid submitted, and that was from the A. L. Young Machinery company of San Francisco. Their bid was accepted, although Trustee Cook spoke in favor of rejecting the bid and then going into the open market and buying a sweeper that suited them the best. As the law provides, specifications for any article desired by a city must specifically and minutely state just what is wanted, and bids are then asked for accordingly. A board of trustees are then in duty bound to accept the lowest responsible bid, or may reject all bids and then seek what they desire in the open markets. The committee's report to the board, after seeing a demonstration of the Elgin street sweeper, declared that model was the best they had ever seen, and recommended that one of that make, or its equal, be purchased. When the board decided to buy a sweeper the specifications were so drafted. Of course, no other company, except the A. L. Young company, could submit a bid, because they have no competitor for that class of sweeper. Trustee Cook would like to see more competition when bids were received in such cases, but the law is very plain and explicit, and there is no alternative. But since the board would have bought an Elgin in the open market, it was ordered that the A. L. Young bid be accepted and close the deal. The sweeper costs $5500, and Mr. Young agreed to take over the old sweeper belonging to the city, allowing $150 therefor. The new sweeper is to be given at ten days' trial and half the money is to be paid then, the remainder in thirty days. The sweeper is pronounced first class and is economically operated. All the streets in this city can be cleaned in eight hours. The sweeper picks up every thing loose on the street and is absolutely dustless. Ordinance No. 316, granting a 50-year franchise to the Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railway company to build its road through this city, was read. The route begins at North street, just west of Orange street, and extends south to Olive, where it traverses over the tracks of the Southern Pacific to Santa Ana and Newport Beach. It is said that the Salt Lake time, and said he would leave it for the people to decide later, and the incident was closed. Trustee Stark offered a resolution that the chair appoint a committee of three to look into the matter of building a city hall upon the present site, and to interview architects, relative to drawing plans for the same. Trustees Stark, Cook and Brunworth voted in favor of the resolution. Trustee Dwyer voting in the negative. Mayor Schneider appointed Trustees Cook, Brunworth and Dwyer to serve as such committee. The committee will investigate the proposition from every angle and in all probability will submit a report to the trustees at their next regular meeting. The board adjourned to meet again on Wednesday, June 13, at 8 p.m. HENRY ADAMS SOLVES HIGH LIVING COST Fine Vegetable Garden in Back Yard, Potatoes in Parking Henry Adams is proving that he is a top-notcher as a farmer, as well as a lumber dealer, and the back yard of his home at Broadway and Claudina street, furnishes conclusive evidence of the methods of combatting the high cost of living. Hen is raising a fine lot of vegetables, including string beans, tomatoes, onions, carrots, okra, rhubarb, radishes and melons, and in the parking of his sidewalk has a fine crop of new potatoes. He is regaling his neighbors with samples of vegetables which are delicious and of superior quality. With onions selling at 17 cents a pound, as they were some weeks ago, and potatoes sky-rocketing in price, as they were, his garden is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. MRS. BURGESS ENTERTAININGS Mrs. J. T. Burgess delightfully entertained her fellow teachers of the Broadway primary school Monday night at her cozy home on North Philadelphia street. Bowls of yellow corseopsis and ferns were tastefully arranged throughout the rooms. The evening was pleasantly spent in music, and in chatting before the cheerful open fireplace. Dalinity refreshments were served, covers being laid for Miss Alice Grimshaw, Mrs. Lulu Garrison, Miss propriate to the time. There were two speakers on this occasion, both of them being from Placentia. Attorney T. L. McFadden was the first, and he made a patriotic address, pointing out what each man could do in the crisis now confronting the nation to assist in the prosecution of the war. According to Tom's theory there is no man or woman in the United States who cannot do his or her bit toward winning the struggle. The young men between the ages of 21 and 31, the ten-year limit fixed by the government, who are not rejected because of physical disability and are not exempt because of a dependent family, are privileged to go to the front and shoot holes in the enemy. While these men will probably get all the glory they are no more important than the men and women who stay at home and provide the sinews of war. If we cannot join the army and go onto the firing line we can join the Red Cross society and assist in the magnificent humanitarian work of that organization. We can join the army of agriculturists and produce food for our troops and our allies or we can subscribe to the Liberty Loan and help the government in its financial difficulty. He handed Captain Herman Stern, of the Anaheim home guard, a bouquet who he said, was coming out to Placentia and drilling their guard and making an efficient fighting force out of the men in that town. He also launched a presidential boom for Herbert C. Hoover, the head of our commissary department. He knew Mr. Hoover at the university, and declared he is the sort of man who always accomplishes what he undertakes, and he hopes to have the opportunity of voting for him for president some day. Mr. McFadden also mentioned the aeroplane that is being built at Placentia and introduced Merle G. Gordon, the man who is in charge of the construction work of the flyer. Mr. Gordon is rfresh from the battlefields of France. He was in Paris, connected with the aviation corps when the war broke out, and told of the efforts made to supply a sufficient number of machines to cope with the enemy. America, he said, is woefully lacking in airships, and our factories are tied up with contracts to supply the allies with machines. He told of the progress being made on the pla- The sweeper picks up every thing loose on the street and is absolutely dustless. Ordinance No. 316, granting a 50-year franchise to the Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railway company to build its road through this city, was read. The route begins at North street, just west of Orange street, and extends south to Olive, where it traverses over the tracks of the Southern Pacific to Santa Ana and Newport Beach. It is said that the Salt Lake will later extend its line to San Diego. The ordinance was given first reading and will be passed at the next regular meeting. At this juncture Mayor Schneider, addressing himself to Trustee Dwyer, said he had observed that a certain paper here had quoted him as saying he favored a recall of the present board, and further averred that Trustee Dwyer had said "there was some rich stuff to be dug up," intimating that irregularities existed in the proceedings of the board of trustees. Schneider asked Dwyer to produce his evidence. Trustee Dwyer said he had been misquoted in the article mentioned, and did not make the statements attributed to him, although, he said, the piece expressed his sentiments. Regarding the "rich stuff," Dwyer made claim that the purchase of a fire pump three months ago by the board showed favoritism. Among the bids received were one from the Fairbanks-Morse company and another from the Ellis Co. The bids were practically the same in price, but the Morse engine, which was purchased, (the bidders stipulated) could be delivered within 90 days, whereas the other company said the time of its delivery was indefinite, it might be 12 months or longer. Under these conditions the board decided to take the Morse en Mrs. J. T. Burgess delightfully entertained her fellow teachers of the Broadway primary school Monday night at her cozy home on North Philadelphia street. Bowls of yellow coriopsis and ferns were tastefully arranged throughout the rooms. The evening was pleasantly spent in music, and in chatting before the cheerful open fireplace. Dalnty refreshments were served, covers being laid for Miss Alice Grimshaw, Mrs. Lulu Garrison, Miss Blanche Graves, Miss Lillian Clabaugh, Miss Marjorie Shive, Mrs. Clara Munger Silva, and for the hostess and her son. At a late hour, the guests took their leave, mutually agreeing that the evening had been a fitting close to a happy school year. PHIL AND THE CAT Officer Germann is putting in spare time dispatching cats which prey upon young chickens, squabs and other denizens of adjacent barnyards. If you have any troubles in this line, tell Phil about them, and he will do the rest. The other day a cat, which had made away with ten fine young chicks, and was about to begin devouring another flock, was called to Phil's attention, and in less than half an hour it was buried. Phil located it under a nearby residence, gave a youth a nickel to crawl under and bring it out, and while the youth held the feline by its tail, Phil knocked it in the head with a club. After sending the cat to the kingdom come, it was buried with proper ceremonies and Phil went on his way rejoicing. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Criss and children, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Criss and Mrs. A. E. Charleston attended the Kansas picnic at Los Angeles Saturday. Mr. Gordon is rfish from the battlefields of France. He was in Paris, connected with the aviation corps when the war broke out, and told of the efforts made to supply a sufficient number of machines to cope with the enemy. America, he said, is woefully lacking in airships, and our factories are tied up with contracts to supply the allies with machines. He told of the progress being made on the placenta flyer and mentioned Charlie Newcombe as one of its builders. It is being built on standard lines, but many of Newcombe's ideas are being embodied in it. He predicted that Newcombe would eventually be one of America's famous bird men. Mr. Gordon stated that within six days the machine would be completed and he expected to spend an entire day flying over this region, and would make a friendly call on Anaheim. Then he was going to do something never yet accomplished, he was going to fly from Los Angeles to San Francisco without making a stop. When he was flying over the German trenches, he said, and they were taking shots at him, he found that the French飞ers were too slow for his comfort, and he decided to come to America and build a swifter one. Both Mr. Gordon and Mr. McFadden intimated that a big aeroplane factory would eventually be established in this region. Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Camp left Saturday for Des Moines, Iowa, to attend the annual convention of the Yeomen lodge. Mrs. Camp, who is secretary of the Anaheim lodge, won a free trip to the convention and a $40 cash prize because of her efficiency. They will be absent two weeks during which time W. S.

As a result of the affair two warrants have been issued for the arrest of Thomas Lamay of Anaheim. The speedcop, O. K. Carr of Seal Beach, got teh auto's number even though he did not get the auto or the autolst. Carr says the automobile was going fifty miles an hour and was swerving all over the road. A man in the machine got scared, and got on the running board ready to jump. Carr called to him to wait until the machine reached a corner and jump when it slowed. The man did as he was told. The driver paid no attention to Carr, but kept it in the high. Carr pulled his revolver and fired three shots into an automobile tire. The tire flattened and rolled off, and still the automobile kept going. Just then Carr's motorcycle ran out of gasoline and he had to quit. All he had was the number and the numerously punctured tire. Even the witness who had jumped at the corner was not to be found. One complaint charges Lamay with driving while intoxicated and the other charges him with reckless driving. WILL BEAUTIFY ANAHEIM CEMETERY NEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS PLACING IT UNDER PERPETUAL CARE SYSTEM MEETING AT BOARD OF TRADE ROOMS JULY 7 TO CONSIDER ARRANGEMENTS A movement is now on foot to rescue the Anaheim cemetery from its present unkempt condition, beautify it, and make it a source of pride to the people of the community. Steps are being taken to put it under the perpetual care system, and a meeting of the directors and all interested in the matter will be held in the board of trade rooms on Saturday, July 7, for the purpose of taking steps toward the consummation of this plan. At the annual meeting held at Backs & Terry's chapel Saturday afternoon a new board of directors was chosen. The board is composed of V. U. Simp- There were occasions both Placentia.

Feeding tests made by the University of California at the University Farm at Davis have shown that dried grapes may be successfully used to replace half the grain of the ordinary ration for hogs. They are best fed in connection with grain, valfalfa, and similar feed. While the acidity of the raisins is wholesome they may produce digestive disturbances in livestock if they form too large a proportion of the ration. The grapes should be allowed to ripen as much as possible before drying as this will not only make the drying more rapid, but will much increase the yield per acre and the nutritive value of the dried grapes. Eleven varieties of wine grapes grown by the University on a 2½ acre plot at the Kearney Experiment Vineyard, owned by the University, produced the following average yields; 3 year old vines, 2.6 tons to the acre; 4 year old vines, 6.2 tons; 5 year old, 10.6 tons of fresh grapes to the acre. This was equivalent to .83; 1.98, and 3.39 tons of dried grapes respectively per acre. These crops, harvested last fall, if dried and now sold as feed for livestock in competition with the present price of $60 for a ton of ground barley would represent a gross return of $49, $112 and $200 per acre respectively. Figuring on a yield of five tons of fresh grapes to the acre as a reasonable average crop for wine grapes in the San Joaquin valley and estimating $40 a ton as a selling price for dried grapes to be used for feed for hogs and cows, the gross returns would be $64 an acre. Such use of dried wine grapes as feed for livestock would not be profit his revolver and fired three shots into an automobile tire. The tire flattened and rolled off, and still the automobile kept going. Just then Carr's motorcycle ran out of gasoline and he had to quit. All he had was the number and the numerously punctured tire. Even the witness who had jumped at the corner was not to be found. One complaint charges Lamay with driving while intoxicated and the other charges him with reckless driving. At the annual meeting held at Backs & Terry's chapel Saturday afternoon a new board of directors was chosen. The board is composed of V. U. Simpson, A. G. Langenberger, J. C. Cordes, A. A. Mills and Mrs. J. J. Dwyer. The board organized by electing Mr Simpson president and Max Nebelung secretary. Richard Melrose was engaged as an attorney to interpret the law and assist the association in getting the cemetery under the perpetual care law. He will make his report at the meeting on July 7. This meeting will be open to all persons, and it should be attended by all persons who believe that Anaheim's city of the dead should be transformed into a beautiful park, and that weeds and tall grass should be eliminated. The Anaheim cemetery was established sixty years ago. Lots are now selling at from $60 to $75, and the sale of lots has been the only source of income of the association. Nobody is individually responsible for its present condition as the association has no income out of which it could pay for its upkeep, and the care-taker is paid by certain lot owners and the mausoleum company for looking after their property and his responsibility extends only to his duty to those who employ him. By placing the cemetery under the perpetual care system lots will be sold at probably double the present price, and those who already own lots will be compelled to pay the balance of the advanced price. This, however, will be all the lot owners will ever have to pay as the association obligates itself to keep all the ground and all the lots in perfect condition. The perpetual care system is a state institution and the money thus secured and derived hereafter from the sale of lots is deposited with the state which pays the salary of the care taker. A large number of lot owners have moved away from Anaheim and their addresses are unknown. They have apparently forgotten their dead, at least they have ceased to take an interest in their graves. Should the association be unable to communicate with them, or should they refuse to A CROP OF JUNE WEDDINGS Marriage licenses issued since noon Saturday were: Fred E. Henderson, 23, and Lena J.

Should the association be unable to communicate with them, or should they refuse to pay the perpetual care assessment the lots will revert to the control of the directors and be resold. The Anaheim cemetery is in a disgraceful condition simply because the board has lacked funds to keep it up. A majority of the owners of lots still residing here look after them, keep the graves of their departed friends green and surround them with flowers, but a large number have moved away and left no one in authority to look after them. These are overgrown with a jungle of weeds and tall grass. Under the perpetual care system these will disappear and the entire cemetery will be transformed into a beautiful park. Another meeting of the board of directors of the association will be held at Backs & Terry's tomorrow evening (Friday, June 8) but Mr. Melrose will make his report at the board of trade rooms on July 7.
