STORE Koveralls, Rompers, Sandals, Sun Hats S. Q. R. STORE Herman Stock, manager of the Anaheim Truck & Transfer Co., is confined to his home with illness. Herman's many friends hope to soon bear of his recovery. A. W. Armstrong, editor of the Seal Beach Wave, was in town last week boosting for the beach town and getting acquainted with the inland people. Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Peck of the Peck Phonograph company, were visiting friends in Alhambra Sunday. B. Hartfield and family and Mr. and Mrs. Shapiro spent Sunday at Venice. Fred Heyling was down from Los Angeles visiting friends Monday. John Rushton returned Saturday from a two weeks' fishing trip in the northern part of the state. He had some wonderful stories of giant trout that were so anxious to be caught that they came up on the bank to be put in the basket, but Anaheim people have to be shown. Judging from the crowds that attended the opening of the new Woolworth 5-10-15 cent store, and upon following days, it looks as though the new firm is going to do a big business. People flocked there in droves, and the large force of clerks had to hustle to wait upon the customers. Dr. C. R. Bernard, who is here from New York visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Bernard, used to be a baseball player of renown. He belonged to the Angels at one time, but was sold to the New York Nationals. He played two years with the Giants, drawing down the comfortable salary of $800 per month, but was forced to give up the job because of defective eyesight or increasing embonpoint, or some other insignificant alliment. He Prof. C. R. Prince and family returned Friday evening from a two weeks' outing in an automobile. They made a round-about circuit, going as far north as Lake Tahoe. Fishing, especially in the Owens river was good, the professor states. The line of spectators watching the parade of the bathing girls Sunday at Seal Beach, looked like Center street in this city, owing to the number of Anaheimers in the front row. Dan Kosher left Sunday for Denver, Colorado, on a visit to friends. Miss Stella Witmer gave a party Friday evening to a number of friends, some of them coming from Fullerton. A pleasant evening was spent playing games. H. G. Ames and Archer Fay were among the Anaheimers who spent Sunday at Seal Beach. Dr. J. W. Utter was the victim of a check artist Saturday. A man by the name of Thomas, who formerly lived here, owed the doctor $20 for medical service. He presented a check for $70 to the doctor Saturday. It was drawn on a Sacramento bank and was signed by C. Cogan. He received a $50 check in change and cashed it at a business house. The check on the Sacramento bank was found to be worthless, consequently Dr. Utter is not only swindled out of his fee for professional service but $50 in cash as well. Oscar Dorn who is a member of the police force, has served in the navy, having put in four years. Together with other marines he was in China during the Boxer uprising. He has been in Japan and the Philippines, doing duty for the U. S., and is willing to go again. He passed the physical examination upon receiving his report good luck.

He played two years with the Giants, drawing down the comfortable salary of $800 per month, but was forced to give up the job because of defective eyesight increasing embonpoint, or some other insignificant ailment. He then studied medicine and is now connected with a New York hospital, but is casting longing eyes across the Atlantic. He will probably join Uncle Sammy's hospital corps in France. Oscar Dorn who is a member of the police force, has served in the navy, having put in four years. Together with other marines he was in China during the Boxer uprising. He has been in Japan and the Philippines, doing duty for the U. S., and is willing to go again. He passed the physical examination upon receiving his discharge and should he again be called he would like to join the navy in preference to the army. Kurt Epstein was visiting at San Diego several days last week. We will take your old phonograph (No matter what make) and allow you a GOOD PRICE for it toward one of our Heimola Phonographs Terms $1.00 per week or 10 per cent Off for Cash PECK PHONOGRAPH & MUSIC CO. 205 East Center Street Local Notes Rev. M. C. Martin was one of the Y. M. C. A. boys who spent an outing at Catalina. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Chapman of Los Angeles, were visiting with Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Camp last week. Deputy County Clerk J. M. Backs was in town this week on official business. Morris Smith was in town on Saturday afternoon from his ranch on Orangethorpe avenue. Clyde Webb and Dan Naugle, Jr., are spending a week among the mermaids at Seal Beach. Jack Doty of Los Angeles was visiting his mother, Mrs. Ida Doty last week. He has been laid up for some time with a slight illness. H. M. Adams and family left Sunday for the San Jacinto. Mrs. Adams and the two children will spend two weeks at the springs, but Mr. Adams expected to return in a few days. Eight ambitious young men went to Newport Sunday on a fishing trip. They chartered a launch which took them far out to sea and all the boys report good luck. Strange to relate none of the fish handed in weighed over four pounds with the head and scales off. At the last meeting of the Anaheim Elks it was decided to hold meeting on the second and fourth Wednesday night during the months of July, August and September. The next meeting will be held July 25, when a large class will be initiated. By reason of the enlistment of Prof. Delbert Brunton in the army, the principalship of the Orange high school has been declared vacant by the board. The position pays $2400 per year. Deputy Marshal Phil Germann has taken up a position as one of the night guard, while Odcer Dorn takes one of the day patrols. Germann heretofore attended to bringing prisoners into court, besides attending to his other police duties, but that duty for a time will be attended to by Chief Kellenberger. In the future the police will take turns about in doing night and day patrols. Pnder date of June 25 Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung write from Dawson, Yukon Territory, that they are having the time of their lives in that far northern town. A trip among the glaciers was a wonderful experience. The city trustees at their last meeting, handed a couple of the power house employees a raise in their salaries. The men are considered good electricians and are deserving of the advance. Just now it is difficult to secure competent mechanics, as good jobs await them in many cities, and wages are correspondingly high. Electrical workmen are receiving from $4 to $6 per day, with no prospect of the wage scale lowering until after the war stops. D. W. McDannald, Orange county's representative in the Los Angeles chamber of commerce is gathering data and views to include in a new Orange county booklet which he is preparing. The new booklet will be more than twice as large as any previous county booklet. It will consist of 28 pages of reading matter and views. Twenty-five thousand copies will be issued and placed in the Los Angeles Jimmie Mauerhan was on duty Sunday at the fire department while his big brother Cooney was away shooting jack rabbits. Jimmie has registered and expects to pass the examinations. He is willing and anxious to join the colors for Uncle Sam. E. C. Murray of the Yungbluth establishment, has gone back east to visit his old home folks. Before returning he will go to New York and look over the latest things in men's clothing. Mrs. Harley Payne of Los Angeles has been visiting in town the past week, accompanying her father, L. Nemetz, home from the city, where he underwent an operation to remove a cataract from his eye. The vision has been greatly improved thereby and despite his advanced age Mr. Neimetz is now getting along very well. The Rev. M. C. Martin, pastor of the Presbyterian church, left Saturday for San Francisco to take a Y. M. C. A. training course. He is making of it a vacation trip, but upon completion of the course, there is a probability he will be called into the army Y. M. C. A. work as secretary of one of the numerous buildings to be erected. County Secretary Cole also expects to attend the training school during the last week or two. Last week when rumors were rife that two of the river protection committeemen had accepted bribes, in order that certain property owners could be excluded from the boundary lines of the new protection district, one of the gentlemen, upon whom the protestants were aiming their insinuating darts of suspicion, remarked: "Let these fellows come out in the open; if they have evidence to show At the last meeting of the Anaheim Elks it was decided to hold meeting on the second and fourth Wednesday night during the months of July, August and September. The next meeting will be held July 25, when a large class will be initiated. A property owner in the west section who is bucking the protection district, recently when the assessor called to take his county assessment, said he desired his assessment lowered because his land was subject to overflow. During the formation of the district this same man claimed he wanted out because he was high and dry. At this time, when the country is involved in the great world war, and while a crisis confronts the nation, cool headed business men about town look upon an election to vote bonds for a civic improvement, as a waste of time and fiddling away several hundred dollars of city finances to ascertain the pulse of the people upon a question which already is preordained to defeat. In many communities even school bonds have been turned down, and to a casual observer taxpayers are in no mood to vote extra financial burdens upon themselves at this time. Frank Borth says he has been getting up early so regularly every morning and going to work that it's got to be a habit. Frank is the ice man, and delivers the frozen fluid in all kinds of weather. He remembers fifteen years ago when he came here that the first man he met when going to work in a packing house was "Bill" Chambers, who then was showing the boys what a real packing house looked like. Frank says some day when his pile gets large enough he's going to retire. All members of the Efficiency Club, an organization comprising the employees of the Southern Counties Gas company in Orange county, attended the first annual outing of this organization recently at Balboa.

Julius Schneider has a night blooming cereus at his residence on Palm street, from which he plucked a flower a few evenings ago and brought the same to the council rooms in the city hall. The flower appears only after sundown and the petals close up and wither at sun rise. The flower is beautifully formed and is extremely fragrant. A county official, to whom some of the west siders have taken their troubles, relative to the Anaheim sewer farm, is quoted as saying that it would be unwise for the city to attempt any further improvements upon the present farm, and intimated that the several towns of the county should go together and build an outfall sewer to the sea. Men who have made a study of this phase of the question, say such an undertaking is a physical impossibility. For instance, the sewerage from Fullerton and Anaheim and other points north cannot be drained to the south, engineers are quoted as saying. The topography of the country would not permit it. Water won't run up hill. Drainage in this city leads to the west. How would you connect up with Santa Ana and Orange? How would you ever get the several towns acting in unison in this matter? Besides a state law prevents sewerage from being turned into the sea. The only sensible disposition of sewerage is by disintegration, and the purified fluid used in irrigation. Many orange growers would raise far better fruit if they would use a good quality of fertilizer more freely. An orange tree is a good deal like a human being, and in order to produce good fruit must receive proper nourishment. Some growers, when they see the leaves on the trees curling up a little, or when they take on a light yellow hue—believe that by giving last week when rumors were rife that two of the river protection committeemen had accepted bribes, in order that certain property owners could be excluded from the boundary lines of the new protection district, one of the gentlemen, upon whom the protestants were aiming their insinuating darts of suspicion, remarked: "Let these fellows come out in the open; if they have evidence to show that everything is not on the square let them prefer charges. The man who makes these cowardly remarks is either a knave or a darn-fool," he concluded. Cooney Mauerhan and Burleigh Goodrich went hunting jack rabbits up in Victor Valley on Sunday, returning in the evening. They got the limit. These desert jacks are noted for their swiftness and it is said can out-distance any other four footed animal. When they are chased by a greyhound the dog has to be fleet-footed to overtake one of the long eared variety. Many times they will go along just ahead of the hound, but when they get into close quarters they simply lay back their ears and evaporate. They say if you take a jack rabbit, after cleaning him up nicely, and put him in vinegar over night, he makes a fine ingredient for a mulligan. The Santa Ana river is always an interesting subject to talk about, and when it gets on the rampage it has a tendency to send a few thrills through the average citizen, especially the tenderfoot. When the river bed is dry it has the appearance of being higher in the center than upon its sides, and one inclines to the opinion that once water comes down the bed it would naturally break away on all sides. During an ordinary flow of water the stream spreads out and thus minimizes its force and the water flows on peacefully to the sea. When an excessively heavy rainfall send down a large volume of water, waves roll high and two years ago when we had an unusual rainfall, close observers say the waves assumed a height of 7 feet. They looked menacingly dangerous and sent alarm throughout the adjacent territory. But these undulations appear more formidable than they really are, because the rushing waters are only churning up the loose river sand as far down as its bed of hardpan, causing the roaring sounds, and mak- All members of the Efficiency Club, an organization comprising the employees of the Southern Counties Gas company in Orange county, attended the first annual outing of this organization recently at Balboa. An interesting program of events was arranged by a committee which consisted of the following: W. Jones, chairman, Miss Jean Adams, H. G. Miller, V. Y. Kinkle and J. C. Hayden. The Efficiency club was organized in January of this year with the object in the minds of the organizers of increasing the efficiency and service to consumers. Henry Adams gathered 300 pounds of potatoes from the Claudina street parking at his residence and is now preparing the ground for a fall crop. The strip is 30 inches wide by 130 feet in length. Mr. Adams uses manure and commercial fertilizer extensively and his vegetable garden in his back yard is probably the most productive in the city. Hen will go up to the head of the class as the champion farmer of Anaheim. Vic LaMont drove down to San Diego Monday to bring home his dog which had been loaned to a friend during his absence in the east. Vic places no confidence in any car but the Buick, but on this occasion he was compelled to drive a Studebaker as his Buick was laid up for repairs. Ed Cassidy has joined the colors and left Friday for San Luis Obispo. He has enlisted as a member of Company L, Seventh regiment. Anaheim has forty volunteers in the service. Many orange growers would raise far better fruit if they would use a good quality of fertilizer more freely. An orange tree is a good deal like a human being, and in order to produce good fruit must receive proper nourishment. Some growers, when they see the leaves on the trees curling up a little, or when they take on a light yellow hue—believe that by giving the orchard a good irrigation that is all that is necessary to send the tree along the productive route. But here is where they are mistaken. The tree naturally takes on new vigor after the wetting, but to get good fruit the soil must be further enriched with a stimulant. It costs considerable to use fertilizer, but the returns come back with a better grade of fruit. Now would be a good time to put on plenty of fertilizing ingredients, because after this warm spell of weather the trees naturally will require it. R. H. Rogers of Seal Beach, was in town Tuesday following in the footsteps of Editor Armstrong of the Wave, and countermanding some press notices that Armstrong had planted. It was announced that Raffles, the man of mystery, was to be in Seal Beach on July 25, but after the date had been fixed discovery was made that Mr. Raffles was engaged in a burglarious enterprise elsewhere and could not fulfill his date at the beach town. He will be there later, however. Mr. Rogers states there were one hundred thousand people on the sands at Seal Beach Sunday, Anaheim furnishing its just proportion.

Stock, son of Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey Stock, who for a number of years has held a position as electrical engineer with the General Electric company of San Francisco, was highly complimented recently by his employers, and as a result has been assigned to the U. S. navy as a master mechanic. A government official had called upon the General Electric company, and had asked if they had any mechanics who were capable of entering the service of Uncle Sam. Mr. Stock was recommended, and that day his application was telegraphed to Washington and the same day reply was received, giving him the appointment as master engineer, with headquarters at the Vancouver Barracks, Wash. Mr. Stock's many Anaheim friends are pleased to hear of his deserved promotion. He has been assured by his former employers that his old job awaits him upon the termination of his services with the government. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Adams and their two little daughters left on Sunday morning for San Jacinto hot springs, where Mrs. Adams and her daughters will remain for a couple of weeks. Mr. Adams returned home on Tuesday evening. WANTED—Jersey cow, under five years old, giving five gallons of milk per day. A. A. Mills, Anaheim, Pacific 50-W. Fritz Ruhmann is confined to his home on Los Angeles street with illness, owing to advanced age. Mr. Ruhmann is now in his 79th year. His many friends hope that he will be restored to his usual good health. O. H. Renner and family and Miss Alice Robison visited Camp Baldy Sunday and spent a pleasant day at the foot of the mountain. Ben Birenbaum and George Greeder William Stark has been in the habit of driving a Hudson car, and knew precisely how to control it. Some days ago he purchased a Ford, and on one of his first trips he had an unpleasant experience. Rolling up to the curbing on West Center street Mr. Stark wanted to stop but the car didn't. It climbed over the curbing, dashed across the sidewalk, and smashed one of the plate glass windows of the California Wine company. Damage to the car was slight, but a $75 glass was shivered into splinters. Godfrey Stock was a business visitor up town on Tuesday and made a pleasant call at this office. His son, R. F. Stock, of San Francisco, has been assigned by the government as a master engineer at Vancouver Barracks, and he feels justly proud of his son's advancement. Mr. Stock, Senior, has a fine crop of grapes now maturing in his vineyard on Walnut street, and is expecting good proces for them to prevail this season. Dr. M. M.
