Walk-Over Shoes You Mister Man: Must keep well dressed and well shod in this day of bustle, progress and big business. Having good looking shoes is most important. WALK-OVERS make your feet look smart and give the right make up to your entire personality. Best of all they Wear Well Prices $5.00 to $8.50 S. Q. R. STORE Jim Whicker was laid up for repairs last week, but his illness was not a serious nature. Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung went over to Pomona Saturday to visit friends whom they became acquainted with while on their trip around the world. A. W. Kendrick of Berkeley, president of the Farm Loan Bank, visited in town a few days ago, the guest of J. B. Neff. Mr. Kendrick came for the purpose of looking up land values in Orange county. A card from C. O. Rust states that he and Mrs. Rust, accompanied by Dr. and Mrs. Tudo, are enjoying an outing at Lake Tahoe, and have also been taking in the sights at Yosemite. Walter Quick, of Cincinnati, Ohio, who is spending a vacation on the coast came in some days ago on a visit to his old friend and schoolmate, C. F. Grimm. He left Tuesday for other points, but expects to again visit Anaheim before returning to his home. Were the people to wait for county aid to take care of its numerous dry river beds, which become erratic waterways during heavy rainfall, those now living would be considerably older were they to wait to see the plans fulfilled. To give counties the power to levy taxes to improve their dry river beds would require an act of the legislature and great bodies move slowly. Such legislation may be looked for, if ever, in the distant future. To care for all the river beds, sandwashes and such like in this state, at first thought, assumes possible expenditures of money that would be appalling, and it is doubtful if such laws would ever be enacted. In the meantime the Santa Ana river from Yorba to Olive has no western bank and flood waters could run anywhere. Rafael Zamarripa was arrested by Officer Germann Saturday evening for attempting to pass a bogus check for the purpose of buying jewelry from Theo. Roberts. He had one check drawn on a local bank for $204 and another for $20. Upon being searched a pass book was found showing a balance of $3 in the bank. He had entered the store and said he wanted to buy jewelry to the extent of $100 or more. He also had two Mexican silver dollars which he wanted given a golden tint. In the meantime the officer appeared and placed Zamarripa under arrest. Chaperoned by Miss Lillian Rivers, the class teacher, and Miss Bernice Ritchie, the junior class of the Anaheim high school went down to Anaheim Landing Friday and spent the day gamboling on the sands, digging clams and baking weiners. The youngsters spent an enjoyable day. The board of supervisors Friday received a petition from the White Bus line for a franchise for an extension of its Los Angeles-Anaheim line from Anaheim to Santa Ana. This is the first petition for a franchise received by the county under the new state law regulating motor stage lines. The petition states that hitherto the White line has transferred passengers with the Crown Stage, which it now proposes to do no longer. The franchise asked is along the state highway between here and Santa Ana, for passengers only. The schedule of trips is given in the petition. The schedule is based upon a half hour service. The Mutual Orange Association of Placentia is one of the eight new members received by the California Fruit Growers Exchange the past year, making a total membership of 187 local associations and 19 district exchanges. Nine new associations affiliated with the Exchange were organized each other of the mixup, and as needed neither kept with limit while making the cars been driven; the accident could be ed, as the distance wished machines to a long as people drive a 20-mile clip just dents occur.

She is visiting friends in Venice. Mr. and Mrs. Homer Clever of Elsinore were in town last week visiting their friends, E. C. Murray and family. The will of Joseph Helmsen has been filed by Attorneys Tipton & Callor. The entire estate of $26,000 is left to his widow with the exception of $500 which is to be paid to A. L. Lewis, former city electrician and a gift to Calvin Wood. Before his death Mr. Helmsen had deeded half his property to his wife. The frontage of the Spoerl building on West Center street is being cut off to conform to the new sidewalk line. There are only a few buildings left on the south side of the block on the old line, but it is said the owners intend to set them back. The block has been given quite a metropolitan appearance with its wide sidewalks, and fine new building recently erected there. J. J. Dwyer, manager of the Anaheim Walnut Growers' association, has announced that the local packing house was opened on Wednesday, Sept. 26, for the purpose of receiving walnuts. He says that all walnuts should be carefully dried and culled and especial attention should be given to culling out perforated nuts, as they would be spoiled going through the bleach. Growers are reminded that the central association in Los Angeles desires all culls to be sent to them for cracking. Suit to quiet title to 10 acres of land has been brought by Malinda A. Billig against W. C. Mauerhan. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Finley of San Diego, spent the week-end with friends and relatives in this city. J. Kenyon Lybarger has been transferred from San Francisco, and is now with the Quartermaster's Corps at Fort Smith, Arkansas. Joe Hatfield came down town Friday morning for an early breakfast and later beat it for Victor Valley, where he was called on a business deal. City Engineer Steward left on Saturday for Santa Rosa, where he is attending the meeting of the State League of California Municipalities. He spent Sunday with friends at Monterey. In the poultry contest at the state fair Williams brothers, of this city, as usual carried off most of the honors on single comb brown Leghorns. They got first, second and third premiums on cocks, first and second on cockeels, second and third on hens, and first on the pen. A few days ago a strictly Bohemian party was given by a well known young man, featuring a swell feed. The cuisine was prepared in the highest style of the culinary art and all hands passed up for a second helping. The menu extended from bouillon to Bordeaux and the guests lingered long in discussing the choice dishes set before them. The affair was voted a success from every angle and all hands are anxiously awaiting for the day when the event will be repeated. When the farm adviser questioned Deputy County Clerk J. M. Backs was in town Monday distributing booths and election supplies for the storm water contest tomorrow. Burglar run a truck up to the back door of a building in Elsinore one night recently and carried off a 2000-pound safe. It's a good thing the building was fastened down. The Parent Teachers association will hold their first meeting on the evening of October 2nd at high school auditorium. At this first meeting the officers hope that a large number of parents and all the teachers will be present. This will be purely a social evening to give both parents and teachers a chance to become acquainted. A farm adviser would be all right provided the professor, or manager, was a man who would measure up to standard, and who knew what he was talking about when advising the farmer. A number of horticulturists and farmers here would like to see the man, or know who he was, before depositing their dollar to help defray his expenses. Arrangements are fast being completed by the Elks entertainment committee for the great charity carnival the last week of October. There will be twenty attractions besides several shows that will be put on by the local boys. Opponents to the district are accused of streading the report that Messrs. Eygabroal, Collins and McClellan have not the confidence nor have they received the endorsement of the board of trade. But this is not so. The Anaheim board of trade has endorsed these gentlemen and the records show that fact. house was opened on Wednesday, Sept. 26, for the purpose of receiving walnuts.

Growers are reminded that the central association in Los Angeles desires all culls to be sent to them for cracking. Two automobiles collided at the corner of Center and Lemon street Sunday afternoon, one of which had a rear wheel torn off and otherwise damaged. The five occupants of the damaged car were not injured, but they had a narrow escape. Both drivers accused each other of being to blame for the mixup, and as near as can be learned neither kept within the ten mile limit while making the crossing. Had the cars been driven within that limit the accident could have been prevented, as the distance was ample to bring the machines to a standstill. Just so long as people drive across streets at a 20-mile clip just so long will accidents occur. The people of Olive are strengthening the east bank of the Santa Ana river north of the Olive bridge and extending for a considerable distance up the river. These people do not care to again experience the damage caused by the flood waters two years ago, and are protecting themselves. Moreover, the improvements on the east bank will have a strong tendency to send a greater volume of water to the west side of the river, along a stretch of that waterway that at present has no bank at all. Any quantity of flood water coming down the river will naturally be forced this way, and it is just as liable to break out one place as another. It would be a nice state of affairs to have the old Santa Ana river cut a new channel north of this city. Four years ago V. A. Browning of this city budded his ten-year navels over to Valencias. Contrary to the local practice, he did not irrigate the trees until they had developed a considerable top. The trees showed a little wilt. He overcome this wilt by bringing moisture to the surface with cultivation, and today has one of the best Valencia orchards in the neighborhood. His idea was to keep the whole root system busy; as idle roots are likely young man, restering a two feet tall cuisine was prepared in the highest style of the culinary art and all hands passed up for a second helping. The menu extended from bouillon to Bordeaux and the guests lingered long in discussing the choice dishes set before them. The affair was voted a success from every angle and all hands are anxiously awaiting for the day when the event will be repeated. When the farm adviser question came up before the Anaheim board of trade recently Mr. Mills opposed the appointment, saying that we already have a horticultural commissioner, one of the duties of whom is to advise the farmer. He said further that deputy commissioners are stationed about the county, and they too are to help the farmer and horticulturist in seeking knowledge as to the best methods to pursue in getting the best out of the soil. It was said that a timely treatise upon subjects of interest which could be furnished to the tillers of the soil would be of great help to them, but men at the meeting said so far they have received very few, if any, such compositions, and wondered why such was the case. Others present at the meeting, while they said they were always ready to learn something new, would like to give the new advisor once over before having him appointed, in that the right man should be installed and one who knew what he was talking about. In the earlier days there was a stretch of land lying north of town which was commonly referred to as the sandwash, which in reality was the original bed of the Santa Ana river. This hitherto barren tract of land has been reclaimed by Yankee grit, and now some of the finest homes and best orange orchards to be found in the state are located within its area. Progress has been the watchword, and the land has become valuable because of its productiveness. There is perhaps no better land in the country than that lying north and northeast of here. In later years the waters divided at a point below Yorba and the main part of the stream took a course to the south and for years the river has remained in its present location east of town. At present the west bank of the river from Yorba to the Olive bridge has been completely washed away. The earthen bank at the bend in the river, until the flood of two years ago, held its own and kept the stream flow shows that will be put on by the local boys. Opponents to the district are accused of streasing the report that Messrs. Eygabroal, Collins and McClellan have not the confidence nor have they received the endorsement of the board of trade. But this is not so. The Anaheim board of trade has endorsed these gentlemen and the records show that fact. The Thursday luncheons are to be resumed again, and today's meeting will be held at the Oyster Loaf. Dr. James P. McNaughton will make an address upon the Armenians and how the war is affecting them. It is a subject concerning which the people of America are not by any means fully informed and Dr. McNaughton's treatment of it will bring new understanding. The excellent qualities of this down trodden eastern people are largely unappreciated in the United States. Dr. Lloyd C. Bailey, who has been on a trip to Guatamala for some months past, purchasing sugar for a wholesale San Francisco firm, returned on Monday to his home in Berkeley. He proceeded south by way of New Orleans and crossed the Gulf of Guatamala by steamer. On his return he visited the city of Mexico and Mazatlan, where he was formerly located for a number of years. He returned on the steamer Peru, and when off San Diego on Sunday forwarded a radiogram to relatives in this city, saying that he was homeward bound and all was well. A gentleman living in Fullerton was in town a few days ago and in speaking of the great world's war, when the nation first called for volunteers, said his son upon reading the summons, said, "Dad, I'm going." The father spoke kindly to the son, saying that he need not be in a hurry. "Besides," said the father, "you have recently acquired a tract of land and are a good practical farmer. Perhaps you may serve your country just as well here at home." "No dad," persisted the boy, "the country is calling me and I am going to enlist. If we are going to win we must fight." And later the boy joined the ranks of the nation's defenders. He is a true American. of this city budded his ten-year navels over to Valencias. Contrary to the local practice, he did not irrigate the trees until they had developed a considerable top. The trees showed a little wilt. He overcome this wilt by bringing moisture to the surface with cultivation, and today has one of the best Valencia orchards in the neighborhood. His idea was to keep the whole root system busy; as idle roots are likely to deteriorate, and true to his theory, many of the neighbors' irrigated trees developed root rot. On ground that is naturally moist more foliage should be left when trimming for budding in order to keep all the roots alive. Much has been said for and against Newport bay for harbor purposes, but many people in the interior of the county are of opinion that the project had better be laid away for a few years at least, because a $500,000 bond issue for that purpose would now be snowed under by the taxpayers. Before this county could ever receive federal aid for a harbor at Newport, people of the entire congressional district would have to get back of the project, before any degree of recognition would be obtained. Upon the visit of the congressional committee here some months ago members of that body made it plain that before any federal appropriations would ever be made for harbor purposes people en masse must decide upon the best location for a harbor site and then go in together solidly and seek governmental aid. With San Pedro, Long Beach and San Diego already receiving recognition from the government, it is doubtful whether Orange county could expect to get a grab at the pork barrel. Wm. Goodman, charged with stealing about fifty sacks of potatoes, property of the Olive Milling company, was held to answer in the superior court Friday morning after a preliminary examination held in Justice Cox's court. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. Victor Montenyohl, traveling auditor for the B. F. Goodrich Co., of Akron, Ohio, is visiting his brother Frank Montenyohl, city letter carrier, for a week. Francisco Rovollus, said to be a Yaqui Indian, was arrested Saturday evening by Marshal Kellenberger, charged with petty larceny. He was accused of the theft of several sacks of lima beans from the Santa Marguerita ranch in San Diego county. An officer from San Diego came up for the man Monday and took him to the southern city for trial. With Rovallus was a white married woman, giving the name of Kellar who is said to belong to a well known family of Los Angeles. It is said they made the trip to this city in a Ford in which the beans were loaded. An attempt was made to sell a sack of the beans for 8 cents per pound. They are quoted at 15 cents. The arrest of the man followed. The woman was allowed to depart, but returned the next day, accompanied by a man said to be her husband. The woman claimed the Ford, but the officers say that its ownership is in doubt. It is still in the possession of the marshal. Before her departure with her husband, the woman embraced Rovollus and kissed him. She was so persistent in her affections toward him that Marshal Kellenberger interfered and told her to stop. Whether the case comes under the head of hypnotism, or just plain foolishness the marshall could not say.

H. Chambers, Miss Schmidt, Miss Renshaw and Miss Robinson, motored to Riverside Sunday. J. A. Armitage of Sunset Beach, Mr. Bisby of Santa Ana, and Prof. J. P. Greeley of Balboa were visitors in town Monday and in the evening attended the meeting of the board of trade. These gentlemen brought messages of good cheer concerning the feasibility of Newport bay for a harbor. They believe it would be a fine thing for the entire county were the harbor made a reality. Why send money elsewhere for freight rates when this money could be kept at home? The gentlemen ask for cooperation among the people, for Orange county is just one big city. Call again gentlemen. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph W. Willett of Los Angeles, stopped off Monday on their way to San Diego and paid a visit to Mrs. Willett's grandmother, Mrs. H. L. Wortman. After gamboling on the sands with the mermaids at Coronado for a few days they will return home, again making a stop at Anaheim. Mrs. Willett was formerly Miss Irene Wortman of this city. Raymond Nebelung and Frank M. Anderson were among the Anaheimers who took in the traction show at the Vall ranch last week. J. W. Sackett has been confined to his home for several days past with a severe attack of illness. Yesterday an improvement was noted in his case, and his many friends hope to soon see him again restored to his former robust health. J. W. Duckworth and wife returned the first of the week from their trip to the north country. Both enjoyed their long trip and returned in excellent health. During their absence they A BOOST WILL COME BACK Old Noah, with a great big smile, stood leaning on the rail, as out across the rising tide the ark began to sail; and turning then he said to Ham, "My boy, just see them scamper; they are the guys that stood around and tried my work to hamper. They always said I was a fool, my job was no account; today they're headed for the hills, while we go to the mount. They always had their harpoons out, and used them rain or shine, and said the time was coming soon when surely I'd get mine. They kept it up from year to year while I kept driving nails, and said they'd bet a hundred yet the old tub never sails. I never used to say a word, but kept on sawing lumber, although I felt a lot relieved when it began to thunder. And so, my boy remember this, and paste it in your hat, those knockers ne'er will get a chance to land upon Ararat. If they'd have joined and worked with me, and made the old ark hustle, they wouldn't have to worry now and for the high spots rustle. So when you see a guy that works hard at his job each day give him a boost and not a knock as you go on your way; and when the rain begins to fall, and your are feeling rotten, he'll come along and boost for you, to show he's not forgotten."
