Servatius and family spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Gilroy at Long Beach, where Mr. Servatius completed arrangements for moving to Texas to look after the business interests of his sister. He will take charge of a 240-acre ranch, besides looking after additional business. For this reason Mr. Servatius has offered his 5, 10 to 35 cent store for sale. He wants to get rid of all responsibility here and leave for Texas the latter part of September. The ranch is near El Paso. Miss Thelma Duffy of Globe, Ariz., is visiting her aunt, Mrs. James Forbes of Placentia. The United States soldiers in France are objecting to the nickname, "Sammies," which was bestowed upon them by the French. What's the matter with the name, anyway? Carl Martin was in town a day or two ago from his ranch on the Garden Grove road. Mrs. E. H. Adams and family are Friday was the birthday anniversary of Mrs. William Bonkosky, and a party was given at her home on West Center street in honor of the occasion.

City Attorney Ames transacted legal business in Los Angeles on Monday. Ed Foley of the Foley & Burk Carnival company, was in town on a business mission last week. Miss Elize Jessurun has been spending several days with friends at Seal Beach. Edward Norman of Boulder, Colo., spent a few hours in town last week visiting old time friends. Miss Rose Osberg, formerly a high school teacher in this city, was married on August 22 at her home in Seattle, Wash., to LeRoy Stratton of Pasadena.

A good attendance is desired. The first regular meeting of the Ebell, following the summer's vacation will be held next Saturday afternoon at 2:30 at Masonic temple. George Dutton will take a few days' visitation in the mountains. A. V. Wheeler and family returned the first of the week from a ten days' outing at Big Bear lake. Mr. Wheeler states that fishing was good, and on Friday a terrific thunder storm passed over the lake, reminding him of his younger days in Ohio. It was the first he had experienced in California. John Pfeninger was a visitor in town a few days ago. He contemplated taking a trip to the Grand Canyon, but decided to postpone his visit until the fall of the year. It is dangerous to make a trip across the desert country during the heated summer time, and the trip is made more enjoyable later in the year. J. A. Armitage was in Anaheim Monday getting a line on all members of the board of trade and other citizens who expected to attend the associated chambers of commerce meeting at Huntington Beach last night. Mr. Armitage stated that it was to be an exceptionally important and interesting meeting as the harbor improvement question would be discussed. J. H. Whitaker, secretary of the Anaheim board of trade, attended the monthly meeting of board of trade secretaries held at Redondo on Saturday. Many matters of interest to cities are discussed at these gatherings, and Mr. Whitaker keeps the delegates informed as to Anaheim's progressiveness. Raymond Nebelung spent a couple of days in Los Angeles arranging his business affairs so as to be able to leave for the training camp with the first section of selected men. He has 30 acres of blackeyes which he has disposed of at a good figure and is J. W. Sackett, street superintendent was granted by the trustees, a ten days' leave of absence, but is so busy now in his department that he will not avail himself of that privilege until some time in the future. Mr. Sackett together with Engineer Steward, are inspectors for the city of the paving now being laid on Santa Ana street, between Los Angeles and Lemon. The work is being done by private contract, but is under the supervision of the city, and Messrs. Sackett and Steward have consented to do the inspecting without pay. They do this in connection with their other duties as city officials. Ordinarily $5 per day is paid inspectors. A dismissal was entered at the request of attorneys in the suit for $10,000 libel brought by Horace McPhee, former editor of the Santa Ana Blade against Edgar Johnson, editor of the Fullerton Tribune Wednesday. The action for damages was based upon a paragraph that appeared in the Fullerton daily on September 4, 1914. The statement was made that McPhee had entered into a political deal relative to his re-appointment as a director of the state hospital at Patton. The terms of dismissal are not stated in the document filed. J. L. Copeland was attorney for McPhee, who is now editor of a paper at Santa Paula, and Earl Rogers and E. J. Marks represented Johnson. John Cook began Saturday morning to thresh his bean crop on the Irvine ranch. He has 60 or 70 men and teams employed in the harvest which will continue for several weeks. Several days ago Mr. Cook was offered 12½ cents per pound for 2000 sacks of beans. In all probability he will har- The Red Cross society will meet Tuesday night at the board of trade rooms for the purpose of adopting bylaws. A good attendance is desired. The first regular meeting of the Ebell, following the summer's vacation will be held next Saturday afternoon at 2:30 at Masonic temple. George Dutton will take a few days' vacation up in the mountains, going back of the Gleason range. The trip will be one of pleasure, and should a deer come within range George intends to bring home the horns. "Daddy" Joe Farrel of Placentia was a business visitor here the first of the week. "Daddy" is foreman of a large orange picking crew, and states that if there is a scarcity of labor, he has not seen any signs of it. F. K. Gresswell was on the streets early yesterday morning painting the town red. He is demonstrating by a brilliant crimson just where cars can park at the street corners. Mrs. Dan Naugle returned home last week after a three months' visit with friends in Missouri. She had a pleasant visit, but doesn't like the Missouri weather. Threshing was in progress when she left, and she says the wheat is running from 30 to 40 bushels per acre. The Missouri farmers will be motoring to Southern California next winter to scatter some of their surplus wealth. The Anaheim Concordia will hold their Grand Annual Picnic and Barbecue at Columbia Park on Labor Day, September 3rd. Committees have arranged a program that will give pleasure to old and young and everybody is assured of a good time. There will be dancing, the best of music being furnished. The Anaheim Concordia in the past has always proved to be the best of entertainers and their coming picnic will be up to the standard. The other day when it sprinkled just enough to wet the state highway nicely and make it slippery, the deep sea boats on the interurbah stage lines had considerable difficulty in getting through on schedule. When pavements are wet the machines skid to boat the band and sometimes suddenly turn Raymond Nebelung spent a couple of days in Los Angeles arranging his business affairs so as to be able to leave for the training camp with the first section of selected men. He has 30 acres of blackeyes which he has disposed of at a good figure and is now ready to do his bit. About 75 members of the Anaheim Elks went to Santa Ana Tuesday evening, where the officers of the local lodge conducted a group of candidates over the rough and perilous road to Elkdom. Wednesday night about the same number journeyed to Los Angeles where the officers again officiated at the initiation of candidates. A Santa Ana man complained to the police a few evenings ago that while he slumbered in a Jap rooming house on South Lemon street he had been frisked, and was minus three dollars by the experience. He said he was married, and had a stage line ticket home, but becoming weary went to the rooming house for a nap. Why he did not go home puzzled the officers. Several of the denizens of the house were questioned but the memories of all of them were vague, and none of them could shed light on the lifting of the three cart wheels. The man was given some fatherly advice and told to go home, but why he should have gone to the Jap rooming house, instead of his own home, stumped the officers. Alleging that the fire and explosion which wrecked its plant at Long Beach on April 25 was the fault of the gas company, the National Kelp Potash company Monday filed a suit against the Southern Counties Gas company to recover damages to the amount of $34,956.86. It is charged that while the gas company was putting a gas main in the plant a large volume of the gas escaped and was ignited by the furnace. C. E. Walker, one of the owners of the Fairland and Mason theatreres of this city, was one of the principal stockholders in the plant. At 2 o'clock Sunday morning a little girl, 5 years of age, clad in her nightdress, came walking up to Officer Germann, while he was standing many matters or interest to cities are discussed at these gatherings, and Mr. Whitaker keeps the delegates informed as to Anaheim's progressiveness. John Cook began Saturday morning to thresh his bean crop on the Irvine ranch. He has 60 or 70 men and teams employed in the harvest which will continue for several weeks. Several days ago Mr. Cook was offered 12½ cents per pound for 2000 sacks of beans. In all probability he will harvest 10,000 sacks, the same as last year. At the present time these threshing camps are busy places. All depends upon the weather which should be dry for good results. Work starts at an early hour in the morning, when there is no fog or dew, and continues until 9 or 10 o'clock at night, if conditions are favorable, and John says the boys then have nothing to do until early the next morning. Should John continue to raise beans it will only be a little while when he will be climbing into the millionaire class. The police Saturday night notified several autoists to show up before Recorder Howard and show cause why they should not be fined for wrong parking of their machines and also for not turning on their lights. Both these offenses are serious. Many machines are parked in front of fire hydrants, for which offense there is a severe penalty. The police in many instances have stopped autoists and made them turn on their lights, but patience has ceased to be a virtue, and from now on offenders will be arrested and fined. Marshal Kellenberger is again going to mark the street sections for the proper parking for machines. He will use red and white paint, and will make the signs as conspicuous as possible. Ignorance is no excuse, and in the future everyone, rich or poor, will be arrested and taken before the recorder, and all offenders will be shown no favors. E. R. Dargetz, wife and daughter, Ellen, of Orange, were slightly injured late Saturday night when they were hurled from their automobile on the state highway between Anaheim and Fullerton, following a collision with a car driven by E. L. Camby, of Union Oil company, at Fullerton. No bones were broken but all the occupants of the Dargetz car were bruised and scratched. Camby was not hurt.

When pavements are wet the machines skid to boat the band and sometimes suddenly turn completely around and head back to their starting point instead of going straight ahead, and have a tendency to give the passengers a thrill. When the smooth roadway gets slippery the deep sea boats have to be steered off into the grass by the side of the road while hitting 'er up in order to prevent accidents or perhaps turning turtle. Business men and citizens generally would like to see the Santa Ana canyon paved up to the Riverside county line and put in good shape for traffic. Many people from the upper valley naturally would use this highway, as it affords them a shortened route to the seacoast. During the summer months thousands of people would come this way and a majority of them would come to Anaheim. Already the canyon road is used a great deal, but it would be traveled over more were it in better shape. The little valleys along this thoroughfare are rapidly becoming settled and the people of those sections would come this way more frequently if a better roadbed were in evidence. Several citizens have in contemplation joining together and getting action upon this matter, for they believe local conditions would be enhanced by connecting up the highway. WALNUT PICKING—Families wanted to gather walnuts. J. B. Neff, two miles southwest of Anaheim. 8-20 At 2 o'clock Sunday morning a little girl, 5 years of age, clad in her nightdress, came walking up to Officer Germann, while he was standing at the corner of Center and Lemon streets. The child is a somnambulist. Germann picked the child up in his arms and began questioning the little tot, but failed to identify her and could get no information from her as to her name or where she lived. The officer went to the telephone offices and sent several calls to various parts of town in the endeavor to locate the child's parents. Miss Wallace at the Home office finally recognized the child as the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman, living on South street. The child was taken home. There it was learned that she had been asleep beside her mother, had left her bed and emerging through an open door, had walked away in her sleep, traveling at least a mile before being found by the officer. The child in her wanderings had been unharmed, and besides being chilled by the cold, was none the worse for her strange experience. A man named Judd, of Santa Ana, was arrested Saturday night, charged with threatening to draw a knife and do bodily harm to John Richards. He was taken before Judge Howard who placed his ball at $250. Later by giving a bond and putting up part cash, the man was liberated. On Monday morning Judge Howard gave him a suspended sentence. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. E. R. Dargetz, wife and daughter, Ellen, of Orange, were slightly injured late Saturday night when they were hurled from their automobile on the state highway between Anaheim and Fullerton, following a collision with a car driven by E. L. Camby, of the Union Oil company, at Fullerton. No bones were broken but all the occupants of the Dargetz car were bruised and scratched. Camby was not hurt. According to the story of Dargetz, Camby was driving faster than the law allows. Anticipating danger, the Orange man drove his car clear to one side of the road, but despite his care, Camby's machine struck his Both cars were badly damaged, one of the wheels of the Camby machine being found in the orchard several yards from the point where the collision occurred. Several evenings ago a rather spirited meeting was held at the city hall when several councilmen met with a committee of civic center advocates. The tenor of the argument advanced by the committee was to the effect that the board of trustees endorse the bond issue to be voted upon at the forthcoming special election. This several of the councilmen absolutely refused so to do. One city dad said a majority of his constituency are opposed to the civic center, as he is himself, and he would not now stultify himself by coming out in favor of the proposition. Another of the city dads made a statement that he has disfavored the project from its infancy and has not changed his mind. The request of the committee was received with a certain degree of sangfroid, or something like that, which it is said, had a very depressing effect.

Closes Saturday Sept. 1st Three more days, in which to Close Out the Entire Remaining Stock of Spring and Summer Merchandise. Falkenstein's DEPARTMENT STORE AT SEAL BEACH On Monday, September 3rd, Labor Day, the chamber of commerce of Seal Beach will give a fish barbecue and clam bake, for which extensive preparations are being made. Bob Mills, the famous Catalina chef, will have charge of the barbecut. Five thousand pounds of fish, 2,000 clams, 2,000 mussels, 5,000 ears of corn and 2,000 loaves of bred will enter into the bill of fare. A varied program will fill out the day, ending with a notable fireworks display. The fireworks display will also be given Sunday evening, Sept. 2nd. On Saturday, September 1st, the Steam Railway Trainmen's Brotherhood and auxillaries, including the organizations of the engineers, conductors and firemen will hold their annual picnic at Seal Beach, and an attendance of several thousand is expected. An elaborate program of events has been provided, including the Brotherhood bowling tournament. The committee of arrangements includes Mrs. Nora Christopher, Mrs. Alice L. Fowler, Mrs. Myrtle Morgan, R. E. Edwards, C. A. Burton and Thomas Sturdevant. In the recall election, held at Seal Beach, Trustee Walter G. Pfiffenberger was recalled and Alfred Morris was elected to succeed him, the recal vote being 145 to 52, while Mr. Morris received 130 votes. This insures a settled policy for the city administration, twice endorsed by the direct vote of the people. It means also that improvements on a large scale, such as the new sewer system for which bonds were voted a short time ago, will be put into effect as rapidly as possible. The people of Seal Beach are intensely gratified over the outcome. The Peck Phonograph & Music Co. will furnish a ukelele player piano for the annual picnic to be given by the Mother Colony club at the county park today. This is something new in the musical instrument line. Joe Collings and Miss Winifred Acker were united in marriage at the home of the bride's parents at Yorba Linda Tuesday morning, Rev. W. J. Marsh performing the ceremony. Joe is agent for the Wells-Fargo Express company of this city, and was, until recently, one of the managers of the Mason theatre. He is one of Anaheim's best known young business men. He is one of the first men drawn for the army and as he filed no exemption claim will probably be one of the first to go into camp. Miss Acker has been chief operator at the Pacific Telephone office, and has a host of friends here. The young couple left for San Francisco on a short honeymoon trip. At a meeting of the Anti-Storm Water Protection league Tuesday night three candidates for trustee were nominated. They are Joseph Fiscus, Archibald Henry and W. G. Mason. Should these men be elected the district will be disincorporated. $1.00 SHIRTS Big collection fast colors in- $1.00 SHIRTS Big collection fast colors, including new stripes and colors Full Length Unusual Values Fall Hats Famous No Name line All the latest shapes Our Stetson Line Is Now Displayed It Is a Pleasure to Show Them BY ALL MEANS GET A FIT YUNGBLUTH'S THE BEST GOODS
