Arnold Dickel was in town on Saturday from Goldfield, Nev., visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Dickel. Arnold spent some days at a new mine owned by the Goldfield Consolidated company near Nogales, and made a thorough inspection of the new property. It is believed the company will develop the mine, which is rich in minerals. He left on the afternoon train for Goldfield, where he is head metallurgist of the Consolidated Mining company.

Goodrich has asked the court to appoint him guardian of his three children, who are beneficiaries in the estate left by his wife. Another false alarm was turned in to the fire department. It came from the Iowa house on North Claudina street at 9 o'clock Wednesday evening. In a very short time after the alarm was given the boys were on the ground with a line of hose stretched, but could see no evidence of a fire. They searched the neighborhood, and one of them crawled into the attic with a lantern but failed to locate a blaze. W. B. Dewey, charged with issuing a no-fund check to Theodore Roberts, for $12.50, has pleaded guilty to the charge in the Superior court, and has asked for probation. The day for hearing was set for Monday. Dewey states that he was hard up for $20 to pay the rent for his citrus nursery, and while under the influence of liquor gave the check to Roberts. On Monday, Dec. 10, Chispa chapter Order of Eastern Star, will install its new officers, elected at a meeting last week. They are, Worthy Matron, Mrs. Adele Kellenberger; Worthy Patron, H. O.

Mrs. Flora B. White has asked that she be appointed guardian of the property of F. Grant White, her husband. It is alleged in the petition, filed by Attorney H. G. Ames, that White is The Hartman building on the site of the old Anaheim opera house, is nearing completion. It is one of the most artistic buildings in the county. The corner room, which occupies nearly half of the building will be fitted up as a garage, the balance is divided into two store rooms. Leo Volz, who has been clerking in a pharmacy at Orange, has resigned his position and moved back to Anaheim. Mrs. W. H. Lawrence, who has been visiting with her sisters, Mrs. G. W. Sandilands and Miss Alice Robinson, left Sunday for Los Angeles where she will make her home. The Vin Moore stock company wound up its season here Sunday night and the Grand theatre is once more putting on its usual high class pictures at the popular price of ten cents. But don't forget the extra one cent war tax which Manager Head is compelled to charge. Carry some pennies in your pocket for such emergencies. E. J. Zellers of San Diego has purchased through the C. B. Berger company a five acre Valencia grove southwest of town from C. H. Gile. As part payment Mr. Gile took a residence property in San Diego.

It was regular meeting night and four candidates were initiated. G. T. Ingram was in Los Angeles on business Wednesday. D. C. Wylee of the Riverside Experiment station was in town on business Monday. have not been interfered with by the blue sky law, the promoters of fake and swindling schemes have been hard hit by it. And the get-rich-quick crew were great users of newspaper advertising and could be induced to pay almost any price for space. Don't forget the Stitt Wilson lecture at the high school tonight. THE Y. M. C. A. DRIVE Following are the figures reported by the various committees working in the interest of the Y. M. C. A. war funds throughout the county: Santa Ana ... $11,200 Orange ... 3,500 El Modena ... 910 Villa Park ... 800 Fullerton ... 3,100 Anaheim ... 3,514 San Joaquin Ranch ... 900 Tustin ... 1,900 Wintersburg ... 632 Old Newport, Harper and Talbert ... 910 Yorba Linda ... 300 Brea ... 200 Orangethorpe ... 200 Garden Grove ... 1,154 Huntington Beach ... 500 This makes a total of approximately $30,000, with La Habra and Buena Park yet to be heard from. JERUSALEM The British have occupied Joppa, the seaport for Jerusalem on the Mediterranean Sea. With Gen. Allenby starting up the Plain of Sharon, after the capture of Gazza, with Tyre, Sidon, Bohrut and Aleppo on the line of march it seems that some of the most sacred places of the Holy Land are being visualized. If the whole country is made available, by its passing into English hands, it will serve for the return of the Jewish race to its ancient home. Mrs. Flora B. White has asked that she be appointed guardian of the property of F. Grant White, her husband. It is alleged in the petition filed by Attorney H. G. Ames, that White is insane. It is stated in the petition that since November 6, White has been in the county hospital in Los Angeles under an allegation that he is insane. He has property at Anaheim worth $20,000. The petition will be heard on Nov. 30. White was arrested about three weeks ago on a charge of impersonating a federal officer. It was alleged that through threats he endeavored to make a citizen of Anaheim give him $2000. After his arrest, friends declared him to be insane, and at their request he was placed under observation in Los Angeles. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Alling were visiting in Hemet Saturday and Sunday, guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Daman, formerly of this city. Many beautiful specimens of embroidery will be displayed at Falkenstein's store today, tomorrow and Saturday. The annual contest is on, and tech managers state that the specimens received are more beautiful and more numerous than ever before. Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Mackey of Catalina were visiting Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Heying. Born, on Tuesday, Nov. 20, to Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Knott, a son. Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Parker and daughter and Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Abbey and little son went down to San Pedro and spent the day Sunday. W. H. Kenendy was visiting at Ocean Park Sunday. A number of Anabelm Elks will go up to Santa Monica tonight to attend some high jinks put on by that lodge. Gerald Simpson left the first of the week for Kingman, Arizona, where he will act as assistant manager for a mining company. The Yeoman lodge enjoyed a dance at their hall Monday evening. It was regular meeting night and four candidates were initiated. G. T. Ingram was in Los Angeles on business Wednesday. D. C. Wylee of the Riverside Experiment station was in town on business Monday. Yesterday was wheatless day, and all the bakeries carried an extra stock of rye bread and other breads not made of wheat. People generally are observing the government's appeal, but there are some who refuse to make sacrifices. Mr. and Mrs. H. E. W. Barnes and young son went down into San Diego Friday and spent two or three days, visiting Mr. Barnes' brother, Sergeant Edgar Barnes and witnessing the big parade. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Champion have moved back from Salt Lake and are now making their home at Long Beach. Mrs. Eva Boyd was in Los Angeles Monday and heard State Comptroller John Chambers make an address to the Woman's City club. THE BLUE SKY LAW There was a time in the history of California when any person with a vivid imagination and enough money to purchase a rolltop desk and hire a job printer to run off a few thousand blank "certificates of stock" could become a full fledged promoter and the president of a billion dollar corporation The actual business transacted by these fake companies was to transfer dollars from the pockets of the unary into the jeans of the swindling promoters. All of them, of course, tended to be organized for some other purpose. This purpose was widely advertised and the newspapers were full of alluring announcements and glittering prospectuses. These advertisements produced a large revenue to those newspapers willing to publish the "get rich quick" literature and thereby assist in fleecing the public. This large revenue formerly derived The British have occupied Upper Canada for Jerusalem on the Mediterranean Sea. With Gen. Allenby starting up the Plain of Sharon, after the capture of Gaza, with Tyre, Sidon, Beirut and Aleppo on the line of march it seems that some of the most sacred places of the Holy Land are being visualized. If the whole country is made available, by its passing into English hands, it will serve for the return of the Jewish race to its ancient home. Mrs. Frank Nemetz and Mrs. Chas Hallay of Los Angeles, were visiting friends in Anaheim last week. Bishop Johnson of Los Angeles, will preach at St. Michael's church next Sunday. Mrs. William White of Los Angeles was visiting her daughter, Mrs.Ben Stroup last week. The Orange County Vegetable Growers' association is a very busy body thees days. Record shipments have been made consisting of consignments of tomatoes, bell peppers, lima beans, peas, egg plants, chiles and string beans; 16,815 tons were shipped out from here last week and it is probable that a greater tonnage will be shipped away in the succeeding weeks. INCREASED ACTIVITY Increased activity in nearly all lines of business during the past week show in various parts of the county that a steady development of new fields and an increase in production, both from the pay roll and soil point of view is taking place. The cost of materials seems no longer to stand in the way of building activity. Tenants are ready to occupy buildings as soon as they are erected, at better rent than this section of the country has seen for some time. The problem of housing people in the towns is becoming serious. The once so easily found three or four roomed furnished flat, or the small cottage, is today comparatively nonexistent, as far as the rentor is concerned. This can point to no other fact than that work is much more plentiful than it has been, and as the rentals are in general about ten per cent higher than this time last year, there shows a corresponding increase in the price of labor. Placentia is talking of incorporation. W. H. Kenendy was visiting at Ocean Park Sunday. A number of Anaheim Elks will go up to Santa Monica tonight to attend some high jinks put on by that lodge. Gerald Simpson left the first of the week for Kingman, Arizona, where he will act as assistant manager for a mining company. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Lyon were visiting friends at Owensmouth Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ramella and Earl Ramella visited Camp Kearney Sunday. Rev. H. G. Schmelzer left the first of the week on a missionary trip through Arizona and other sections, being a representative of the Lutheran church. He expects to be absent ten days. Today, tomorrow and Saturday, the sisters of St. Joseph's academy will have on display a quantity of fancy work and embroidery which is offered for sale. This is the work of their hands, and the proceeds of the sale are to be used for the benefit of the academy. The Elk's bowling team of Anaheim was defeated by the Masonic team of Los Angeles Sunday by a narrow margin. The Elk team is composed of Gordon, Bessen Vanatta, Cowan and Efker. Nearly all the Anaheim soldier boys who write home speak in high praise of the work the Y. M. C. A. is doing for the troops. This large revenue formerly derived from fraudulent advertising no longer exists. The screech of the wildcat no longer is heard in the land. The "blue sky" law makes it necessary for all corporations selling shares to the public to submit to the department a statement of all essential facts concerning the organization of the company, its property and its methods of doing business. It also requires that all advertisements and statements issued to the public be submitted to the department, which has power to order withdrawn those which are not within the bounds of truth. Under such conditions it is impossible for fraudulent concerns to fool the people extensively. Legitimate concerns are in no wise injured by the law but, in fact, are protected by the law, inasmuch as the public understands that there has been an official inquiry into the management of these corporations and permission has been granted to do business. While the state does not, by granting permission to do business, thereby indoores any corporation, the mere fact that it has found on objection to the plan under which the corporation proposes to do business is accepted by the public as an indication that the company is organized in good faith and that it is not a more swindling scheme. But while legitimate corporations wary into the jeans of the swindling promoters. All of them, of course, pretended to be organized for some other purpose. This purpose was widely advertised and the newspapers were full of alluring announcements and glittering prospectuses. These advertisements produced a large revenue to those newspapers willing to publish the "get rich quick" literature and thereby assist in fleecing the public.

Placentia is talking of incorporation. This is not only from her mouthpiece, the Courier, but from the citizenry as well. The same idea is once more in prominence about Garden Grove. As an added proof of the better financial condition, the Y. M. C. A. campaign has yielded contributions far in excess of what was expected. People are becoming more free with their money. Two garages in Santa Ana were started last week, and on Saturday a permit was issued for a $2500 residence, for rental purposes. This begins a change from a long period of laxitude, in building in that city. Beach property is once more in demand, as the recent transactions show. Reports from the different coast communities show that an added sale of lot contracts is taking place. In general, the air of optimism seems to be increasing. Orange county expects more tourists than last year, and already bookings are being received for the winter months. FOR SALE—Good Work Horse. Weight 1250 lbs. B. C. Baxter. Telephone 42-W.

Annual Embroidery Contest Thursday, Friday, Saturday Falkenstein's DEPARTMENT STORE NEED SWEATERS A. B. Rice and Harry O. Merithew, both members of the Los Angeles po- NEED SWEATERS Despite contradictory reports which have been in circulation, the knitting of sweaters, mits and other comfort articles for soldiers is encouraged by the war department. The state council of defense makes this official announcement in order to controvert widely circulated reports to the effect that knitted goods are not acceptable and that army men are not permitted to receive them. There is only one caution issued to the patriotic women who are producing this warm apparel. Do not use kaudy yarns. All such articles should be knitted in neutral colors, preferably khaki brown or gray, otherwise the soldiers will not be allowed to use them. The reason for this ruling is plain. Bright colors render soldiers conspicuous and expose them unnecessarily to the enemy's fire. It is much preferred by the war department that knitted goods be given to the Red Cross for distribution, as that organization knows exactly where there is most need of them. The war department does not deny anyone the right to donate such goods to individuals or to regimental units. SOONERS FINED For sooning by five minutes, two Los Angeles duck hunters on Sunday paid Justice Cox $25 apiece. They were arrested on the road adjoining the Aliso Gun Club by County Game Warden Adkinson. The two men are A. B. Rice and Harry O. Merithew, both members of the Los Angeles police department. Adkinson testified that three men got out of an automobile and asked him if it was time to begin shooting. He told them it was not. They then moved away a few yards, and the keeper of the Aliso came along to go to a bell inside the fence, which he was to ring at 5:46 o'clock, the hour when shooting could lawfully commence. He and the keeper weer comparing watches, and had their flashlights on the watches when Rice and Merithew started shooting. It was then 5:41 o'clock. Adkinson immediately arrested the men, who did not know till then that he was a warden. Rice and Merithew said that they heard other shooting and did not begin shooting until after others were shooting. Many hunters were interested in this case for the reason that a good many hunters begin shooting with the earliest bit of light, regardless of the opening hour, and thus put the law-abiding hunter at a disadvantage. G. Kirkendale and little children of this city narrowly escaped serious injury Monday when their motorcycle and side car weer struck by a delivery machine at Fourth and Main, Santa Ana. Both machines suffered damage. One little girl sustained slight injuries and was taken into her home in this city by her father in an auto.
