Charles Conliffe has a force of expert mechanics employed remodelling the lower room in the Masonic building.

Tomblin of Orange were visitors in town Thursday night, Mr. Tomblin attending the meeting of the firemen's association, while Mrs. Tomblin spent the evening with friends "AL" is assistant chief of the Orange department and is a great booster for county cooperation among the fire companies of the county. People driving along the state highway through the Irvine ranch often wonder at the number of machines standing along the road and what the people scattered all over the field are so busy picking up. They are merely swattling the well known H. C. of L. by picking up beans that have been lost by the threshers. Sunday several cars were noticed which contained full sacks of beans that had been picked up in this manner.

A man who has occasion to buy horse feed wants to know the name of a new quality of bran which he recently secured. He says it looks like bran but does not taste as such. Horses and chickens pass it up and will not eat it. He says it might be chipped shavings or something like that, but he is dinged if he knows what it is. Better not call the attention of Mr. Hoover, dictator of our food supply, to this item. Friday evening about ten o'clock an automobile standing near the Peck & Colby store, backfired and in an instant was ablaze. The department was summoned, but before the engine reached the scene the flames had been smothered by the sacrifice of several sacks of cornmeal. The machine belonged to H. G. Holt of Los Angeles. It was only slightly damaged, and after being repaired at a garage the owner was able to drive it to his home.

The Salt Lake railroad is evidently not finding deeds to its right of way through Fullerton as easy picking as it might, for condemnation suits have been found necessary against over a score of property owners. Friday suit was brought to condemn a strip east of Highland street and for another strip west of the Santa Fe, curving southward to the south city limits of Fullerton. Henry Burdorf of Fullerton, was in town last Wednesday transacting business and greeting old friends. Mr. Burdorf is 77 years of age, but is still hale and hearty. Few people in this region are older residents than he is as he came here direct from Germany in 1868, and during his 49 years residence has witnessed the development of the county from its wild state to the garden spot of the world. Mr. and Mrs. F. Jabs of the Stanton neighborhood, were in town Thursday transacting business. Mr. Jabs is raising beets for the Anaheim sugar factory, and states that this year he near the Peck & Colby store, backfired and in an instant was ablaze. The department was summoned, but before the engine reached the scene the flames had been smothered by the sacrifice of several sacks of cornmeal. The machine belonged to H. G. Holt of Los Angeles. It was only slightly damaged, and after being repaired at a garage the owner was able to drive it to his home. John Kellenberger performed the good Samaritan act Saturday evening by handing out a fine mess of fish to many of his friends. A licensed fisherman came up from Newport with more fish than he could find time in which to dispose of and gave them to the marshal. Being more than he could use the officer passed them around to help reduce the high cost of living. One man said he has been burning up gasoline and spending much time fishing at odd times, but never had such a fine mess of the finny tribe nor near as many at one time. Work upon the trolley line will be rushed at Fullerton and it is the purpose of the company to have the line finished and ready for business as soon as possible. The right of way matter has been cleared up, and there remains only a short distance of track laying to be done. A modern and commodious depot is to be erected at the corner of Santa Fe and Pomona avenues. Work upon the Salt Lake line is also being rushed and it is expected that road will be laying track here within the next few months. It is said that the Salt Lake will erect a modern depot at Fullerton near the present depot site of the Santa Fe railway and the depots of the three companies will be erected as closely as possible, which will be an advantage to the travelling public. The little white arrows pointing the way on the strip of red on the curbings at street corners, designating the 20-foot limit to be observed by autoists when parking their machines, led to a friendly discussion at the city hall other day between Oliver Hill, Burleigh Goodrich and Officer Germann. The arrow at Center and Emily points toward the corner. Hill and Goodrich maintain it should point just opposite, toward the end of the red paint, designating the 20-foot space. Germann says the red paint and arrow are At the meeting of the Elks lodge last night a dispensation was received from the district deputy allowing them to postpone the meeting for next week on account of the charity jubilee being held all next week. J. L. Gates has leased the remodeled storeroom recently vacated by the Mason theatre, and expects to move his store into it the first of the month. Mr. Gates' present quarters have grown too small to accommodate his large stock of goods. Ed Crowther has a pair of cocker speniel dogs that he thinks are the best in the world, and they are really hard to beat. When Ed goes hunting ducks, he does not bother about taking a gun along, he just simply lets the spaniel go with him. Ducks may fall where they like, the dogs will retrieve them. John Ziegler want the following question answered. Why is it, when outsiders hold meetings in the rooms of the board of trade, under the auspices of local organizations, freely using his elevator, and other hotel accessories, free of charge, but when there is a feed on, they rush off to some other restaurant in town, instead of patronizing the cafe located in the hotel building? Ziegler says he cant figure it out. For the purpose of fighting the proposed telephone increase in rates, Secretary Metzgar of the associated chambers of commerce has levied an assessment on the various cities and towns of the county. Santa Ana is assessed $75, Anaheim and Orange each $50, Fullerton $35, Tustin $25, Garden Grove $25, Placentia $25, La Habra $15, Brea, Buena Park, El Modena, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Olive and Yorba Linda $10 each, Balbon, Palisades, Richfield-Yorba, Villa Park and Westminster $5 each. William Robertson recently was taken to his home in Brea, after a seven months' stay at the local sanitarium.

Mr. and Mrs. F. Jabs of the Stanton neighborhood, were in town Thursday transacting business. Mr. Jabs is raising beets for the Anaheim sugar factory, and states that this year he produced beets that yielded 27 per cent sugar. Miss Lou Ziegler who attends to the clerical work in the office of the Hotel Valencia, say many times recently she has been compelled to turn away patrons owing to a lack of room. Mr. and Mrs. Ziegler are to be congratulated upon the success of their hostelry, credit in no small way being due to the efficient business ability of their talented daughters. Lee Baker was among the lucky sports who got good bags of ducks when the season opened. Lee picked out a good location by the side of the road, and as he saw the birds flying toward him he waited until they got within gun shot and leading them by about eight feet he would let drive with his latest pattern Parker. He brought home eight fat juicy ducks but says he lost at least that many more by having them fall within the enclosures. Lee lived on roast duck for several days and while knowing how to prepare them to the queen's taste he also knows how to cook mud-hens, which he will impart to his friends upon the asking. One-third of the movie picture shows in the United States will be out of business within sixty days, according to the manager of two of Santa Ana'stheatres. The movie picture game is hit hard by the tax and the tax imposed will make it impossible for thetheatres to continue in business.With a ten cent tax per annum per seat in thetheaters, two cents for every ticket sold, fifteen cents per day on every reel and a tax on production that has sent the rental prices skyrocketing until today they are three and four times what they were a year ago,the local manager sees disaster looming for the smalltheaters.Increase-in prices will have the effect of decreasing the attendance. way on the strip of red on the curbings at street corners, designating the 20-foot limit to be observed by autoists when parking their machines, led to a friendly discussion at the city hall the other day between Oliver Hill, Burleigh Goodrich and Officer Germann. The arrow at Center and Emily points toward the corner. Hill and Goodrich maintain it should point just the opposite, toward the end of the red paint, designating the 20-foot space. Germann says the red paint and arrow are simply warnings, as the parking of machines is regulated by ordinance, and that is what they have to go by. What say? The Anaheim Retail Merchants' Association held a banquet at the Anaheim Restaurant Thursday evening, also a business meeting on the same evening. The newly elected officers for the coming year are: President, W. F. Flory; vice president, William Jackson; treasurer, O. H. Renner; secretary, J. W. Duckworth. Nicolas Theodore and I. N. Camp are directors. After the banquet speeches were made by J. C. Metzgar and R. L. Bisby of Santa Ana. Robt. Mills was a business visitor in town from Mills Island the other day and says on the opening day of the duck season there were plenty of birds and hunters. He carried many hunters from Sunset Beach to the duck ponds several miles away. One man who was in a boat made a landing at one of the sloughs and while taking his gun out of the boat, barrel toward him, the weapon was discharged. The charge of shot just grazed the man's forehead, blowing the hat off his head. Had the gun been pointed an inch lower the man's head would have been blown off. His name was not learned, and after recovering from his scare he went after ducks. William Robertson recently was taken to his home in Brea, after a seven months' stay at the local sanitarium. While drilling in the oil fields he became entangled in the belts and rigging and after being whirled around several times, was thrown 20 feet away, sustaining a fracture of the left ankle bone, besides being otherwise severely injured. He had a miraculous escape from death. The bone for several inches was literally crushed, but medical skill now has him in a fair way to recovery. For several weeks past "Billie" has been able to get outside in an invalid's chair and many times his attendant has taken him for short trips about town. Of a cheerful disposition he bore up under his terrible ordeal heroically, and while his life at the time was dispaired of, his indomitable will ever prevailed and he knew he would get well. It was a long seige, but his wife and family often came in to be at his bedside and chase the glooms away. When he was able to be removed to his home he felt happy and told his friends he would be getting along nicely, even though he realized it would be several months before he could again walk with ease. His Christian-like fortitude has ever given him strength and upon a recent Sunday he attended church in his little home town, and joined heartily in the religious services. Billie is a vocalist of no mean ability, and while he still reclined in his invalid chair his voice rang out clearly as he joined in the rendition of the devotional hymns. His many friends were glad to again welcome him at home, and that he will soon be entirely recovered to his aforetime health is the wish of all. John Ziegler is endeavoring to have the Mother Colony club vacate the room on the fourth floor of the Valencia hotel the first of the year, in order that he may put in more rooms upon that floor. One night recently he turned away 15 persons who desired accommodations for the night. Every room in the hotel was occupied. Mr. Ziegler says that suitable quarters could be secured in some of the other buildings in town which would answer their purposes. Mr. Ziegler was among the very first to erect modern buildings in the down town district, and as a public spirited citizen he is to be congratulated. Now he wishes to further enlarge his building to accommodate his constantly increasing trade. Dick Fischle says that when automobiles catch fire, instead of sending in an alarm, have the cars driven to the fire department, where the blaze may be put out by the chemical. It would take no longer to drive the car to headquarters, Dick says, than it does to drive the fire truck to the scene of the blazing machine. The burning car might blow up while in transit, or may be more quickly consumed, driver and all. Don't know whether Dick is joking or not, but if the burning car could be propelled, it wouldn't be a bad idea. And the fire boys would save a lot of time and trouble. at $3.50 Model 379 Another fascinating GOSSARD that expresses the new silhouette with the delicately accented waist line and snugly corseted hips—the correct foundation for the successful wearing of the tightly fitted basque effects shown in the smart shops for Fall and Winter. Lightly bened—of medium bust—and fashioned of a soft, clinging sterling cloth of unusual wearing quality. Falkenstein's DEPARTMENT STORE On the ground that a sale of black-eye beans at $5.25 on March 6 never resulted in the delivery of the beans to the holder of the contract, action for $2380.25 has been brought by Stern & Goodman against Bruno Lasch. The complaint states that Lasch sold his beans on contract at $5.25 to W. M. Silva & Company, which firm sold the contract to Stern & Goodman. Since then beans have been going up and staying up, and it is declared that those beans are now worth $9 per 100 pounds. It is further declared that Lasch delivered the beans to A. Nelson at Buena Park instead of to the plaintiff. Judgment for the price of the beans, 24,225 pounds at 9 cents a pound is asked, with an additional $200 put on for damages. C. R. Allen of Fullerton is attorney for the plaintiff. Monday, Oct. 29 is naturalization day in Orange county. A large class will be examined, and Judge Thomas has sent an invitation to every person in the county who has been made a citizen since Sept. 22, 1913. Judge Benjamin F. Bledsoe, of the United States court, will address a mass meeting of the foreign born citizens at Elks hall, Santa Ana, at 2:30 o'clock of that day. The Anaheim Sugar company is showing its patriotism in the Liberty Loan drive. It has purchased $110,000 of the bonds, ten thousand of this being subscribed at the plant here and one hundred thousand at the main office in Los Angeles. Anaheim people who have motored through the San Joaquin ranch on their Sunday's outing report that scores of people, men, women and children, were in the fields picking up the lima beans that covered the ground. Thousands of pounds of food is thus being recovered, and the pickers make good money. It is reported that one woman has gold more than 2000 pounds. Arthur L. Winney, who enlisted some months ago in Uncle Sam's navy and who has been stationed at Mare Island navy yard, was transferred last week to the Naval Training Station at San Diego. His brother Abe was cited to appear before the exemption board at Fullerton yesterday, and will probably be sent to Camp Lewis. Abe has been doing his bit increasing the food supply, and has his hands full at present, but he declares Dad can work overtime and look after the crops while he is away helping strafe the Kaiser. A large four-sided clock, six feet square, has been planted in the center of the intersection of Los Angeles and Center street, where the silent policeman points the way and each evening, at the close of business, it will register the amount of Liberty bonds sold in Anaheim up to that hour. Keep your eye on the dial, and if the hand is not making satisfactory progress dig up again. Anaheim must raise that $204,000. Prof. R. S. Valle of the Citrus Experiment Station, is spending a portion of this week speaking to audiences at various points on the farm adviser question. Prof. Valle is conversant with the subject on which he speaks, and is a strong advocate of the system which is being advocated by many counties. Monday evening he presented the subject before the Anaheim board of trade; Tuesday night he spoke to the people of Westminster, and last night at Buena Park. Tonight he speaks at El Modena and tomorrow night at Garden Grove. Ben Yorba was in town a day or two ago on a business mission. They are boring for water on their ranch at Yorba with good prospects.

Ben Yorba was in town a day or two ago on a business mission. They are boring for water on their ranch at Yorba with good prospects. The opinion prevails that oil exists in the hills at Yorba, but as yet no effort has been made to start drilling operations. Dr. W. W. Adams, who has been sueing his wife, Carrie Adams for divorce, was denied a decree in Judge West's court Tuesday. The doctor claimed a divorce on the grounds of desertion and because his wife had wrongfully accused him. Mrs. Adams fought the case and produced evidence to sustain her grounds for suspicion. Mrs. Adams did not ask for a divorce although she refuses to live with her husband. O. T. Callor appeared for Dr. Adams and H. C. Head for Mrs. Adams. Only one alarm of fire was sounded Tuesday night, but the department extinguished two before returning to headquarters. The siren blew about 9:30 o'clock and a run was made to the Marten blacksmith shop on Lemon street. A fire had broken gut inside the building, but it was quickly subdued. On the return the boys found a blaze in the street in front of the Youngbluth building. Several gallons of gasoline had leaked from a car and somebody, apparently, had thrown a match into it. The car was rescued before it was damaged, and the flames were extinguished. The Anaheim Beef & Provision company came through on the Liberty Loan with a generous subscription of $10,000.
