AT THE FAIRYLAND Three of moviedom's formost stars will be seen at the Fairyland theatre Thursday, Friday Saturday and Sunday of this week. Tonight and tomorrow night Douglas Fairbanks will be seen in "The Man From Painted Post." Saturday the inimitable Charlie Chaplin will be screened in his latest and best stunt, "The Immigrant." This has never been seen before in Anaheim. William Russell in "The Shackles of Youth," will also be shown Saturday. On Sunday little Viola Dana, who is an Anaheim favorite, will present "The Girl Without a Soul." This is a strong guaranteed attraction, one of the season's best offerings. You will not want to miss this. In the story tonight and tomorrow night is the first time that a motion picture has ever been staged in the territory used for "The Man From Painted Post." The rolling prairie with the snow capped mountains in the rear, together with many views of typical ranch life offer some of the most picturesque scenes of the west ever screened. Few motion picture people in their efforts at realism would go a three days' journey from the Studio take a special train full of actors; engage the principal cowboys that contested in the Frontier Day Celebration in Wyoming; engage a private ranch of 160,000 acres with 30,000 head of cattle—just to have a film the real article. Yet this is what Douglas Fairbanks has done in his latest picture, coming to the Fairyland on Thursday and Friday, entitled "The Man From Painted Post." Throughout the photoplay there is a touch of pathos—of heart interest—of love, as Douglas tries to unearth the identity of the bad man who shot plant. In this mammoth factory, one of the best equipped and most interesting in the world, are built the great guns for our war vessels, which carry to every country the message of America's ability to protect herself and to safeguard the rights of her citizens wherever they may be. The new naval aircraft factory at Philadelphia, which will be completed this month, will also employ about 3,000 men. The workers who man such plants are of a superior class, and they feel a personal pride in turning out products that will stand the test of conflict with the arms of other nations. A considerable part of the building of war vessels is also done in Government yards. The United States civil service commission, which is charged with the task of recruiting the ranks of this great civilian army, through its widespread organization is furnishing me nas they are needed. In certain trades, particularly those connected with shipbuilding, there is usually a shortage. Sailmakers, coppersmiths, shipfitters, anglesmiths, blacksmiths, and machinists are especially needed. Women to operate power sewing machines are also in great demand. The representatives of the civil service commission at the post offices in all cities are the official recruiting agents for this as well as other branches of the civil service. The commission urges competent mechanics to offer their services to the government at this time of great need.

PROTEST FROM In the Frontier Day Celebration of Wyoming; engage a private ranch of 160,000 acres with 30,000 head of cattle—just to have a film the real article. Yet this is what Douglas Fairbanks has done in his latest picture, coming to the Fairyland on Thursday and Friday, entitled "The Man From Painted Post." Throughout the photoplay there is a touch of pathos—of heart interest—of love, as Douglas tries to unearth the identity of the bad man who shot his sister and as he incidentally meets the woman he loves whose ideas are so totally different from those of "Fancy Jim Sherwood," whom Douglas represents in the play. The theme itself; the scenes; the tense action; the typical Fairbanks acting—all of these and more will make you and yours want to see this latest Artcraft picture and will also make you glad that you came. Did you ever think what the community would do without pictures or picture theatres? If then, the picture theatre has become such a valued aid in social life and social betterment, why not let every one of us support it by telling our friends about such superior productions as the "Man from Painted Post." Do your bit—we will do ours. WATER COMPANY MEETING Committees on revision of the rules of the company will submit a report at a later meeting. Oil well reports were read and filed. On motion by Beazley seconded by Thamer the agreement with the Salt Lake company with regard to their crossing our right of way, was referred to the superintendent and Attorney Williams. On motion by McFadden seconded by Sherwood the superintendent was instructed to have stumps pulled near the head gate as requested by Mrs. Bryant.

H. Hanna to G. F. Molleda, 15 shares I. M. Sproul to be divided 5 shares to Stephen M. Windle, 10 shares to I. M. Sproul; 20 shares of Stern Realty Co. to be divided and relocated, two certificates 15 and 5 shares. On motion by McFadden seconded by Miller, the superintendent was instructed to have the zanjero house at the Yorba reservoir repaired. CABBAGE SEED HIGH Even though cabbage seed has gone from $1.50 to $6 a pound, many ranchers hereabouts are putting in all their available land in cabbages. Last spring many fortunate growers sold their cabbage at around $100 ton. Single truck and trailer loads of cabbage brought from $500 to $600. The plants are now about ready to be set out and the ground is being prepared and placed in readiness. On the lands where there were cabbages last spring a good bean crop has been grown. Now more cabbages are going in. WAR WORK AT NAVY YARDS Nearly 55,000 appointments were made to the forces of mechanics, helpers, and laborers at navy yards and other establishments during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1917, and since that date appointments have been made in increased proportion. An appropriation of $7,500,000 is now being expended in the enlargement of the great naval gun factory at Washington, which, when completed, will furnish employment for 4,000 or more skilled mechanics, in addition to the 8,000 already at work in the resisted and started to run. The officer shot at him, not aiming to hit, however, and the fellow started around a corner of the house and disappeared. Baxter and Dorn brought in three more bad hombres and placed them in jail. The officers had quite an experience and say times were lively for a while. Baxter says he would have made better headway if the squaws had not interfered and for a time he says it looked like a Mexican revolution had broken loose. Officer Dorn was also in the thick of the fray, but is a pretty handy boy with his fists and gave a couple of the scrappers the sleep potion to clear the way. The five Mexicans were arraigned in court Monday morning. One of them demanded a jury trial, which will come up next month. The others, charged with disturbing the peace, received sentences ranging from 10 to 20 days in jail. DIED FROM LOCKJAW Little Marie Interf, five-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Intrf of Orange, died Thursday morning from lockjaw. She had been seriously sick but twenty-four hours. About a week ago the little girl ran a splinter into her foot, and at the time it was believed all the pieces had been removed. However, five days after the accident, the sore had festered and was so painful that it was opened and the remainder of the splinter removed. Soon after this Marle developed serious convulsions and all the available lockjaw serum in Orange and Santa Ana was secured and a specialist from Los Angeles was summoned. The disease had developed to such an extent, however that it was impossible to save the girl's life. OFFICIAL PERMISSIONS office of Maj.-Gen.

Sunday clerk of the Venice day among the me Anaheim Gazette WANT UNITED ACTION J. C. Metzgar and Fred Rafferty, representatives of the Santa Ana chamber of commerce, returned Sunday evening from San Diego, where they attended the meeting of the League of the Southwest, and witnessed the greatest military review ever held on the Pacific coast. "The league," say Secretary Metzgar, "is planned as an active body having as its objective the promotion of the commercial, material and social interests shared in common by the southwest states. War descended with a thump upon its first deliberations and unless signs fail the League of the Southwest will be, until the end of the European conflict, at least, an influential and powerful interstate clearing house, dedicated in chief to government aid. "With the organization now practically complete, the great southwest stands bonded together in one great unit, to conserve, produce and cooperate with every movement Uncle Sam shall make." PROTEST FROM IMPERIAL Imperial county supervisors have wired a request to Secretary of State Lansing to modify the passport regulations and food embargo, which threatens to almost prohibit intercourse with the people residing in the Mexican portion of Imperial valley after December 1. The unanimous action of the supervisors is to be followed by action of every board of city trustees and every commercial body in the county. It was urged in the resolution of protest, that conditions of intercourse between Lower California and Imperial county are different than at any other place on the border between the United States and Mexico, that the portion of Mexico adjacent to that county was isolated from the BOOST ANAHEIM by sending your friends a folder of 16 Views of our Beautiful City It takes only 1c to mail them anywhere in the United States, Canada or France.

ROUND UP ORDERED OF ALIEN ENEMIES President' Proclamation Fixes Status Of Germans In America Regulations to enable the government agents to keep the thousands of Germans in the United States under constant surveillance and curb the treasonable activities of a few, will be promulgated in several days by Atty-Gen. Gregory to make effective the proclamation issued by President Wilson imposing restrictions on free movement of alien enemies. By means of the new regulations the department of justice expects to be able to round up a number of Germans, who are believed to have directed the organized campaigns of sabotage and propaganda to embarrass the United States in the war. Under the proclamation unnaturalized male Germans above the age of 14 are required to register with the police or some other authority to be designated by the attorney general. In addition, they must report periodically to some officials if the attorney general so orders. They may not travel in the United States without a permit and may not approach within 100 yards of any wharf, pier, dock, warehouse, shed, elevator, storage house, railroad terminal, or other establishment, which the attorney general may designate. They are forbidden to travel on the ocean, Gerat Lakes or any river or waterway, either on public vessels, or in their own private boats. They may not enter or reside in the District of Columbia or the Panama Canal zone and fish order. At the Mrs. L. C. Gladys G morning t mony beli Hatch o f and a few ent.

Mr. Vanters goes on record as the first representative of any exemption board to visit camp with a view to checking up conditions of his district, and generally determining how the men are faring. The 14 I. W.

IMPORTED MEXICANS GAVE SATISFACTION Experiment With Two Thousand Laborers Proves a Success Immigration Inspectors Kuykendayy and Blee Monday made their last inspection of Mexicans enroute from their completed laborers in the sugar beet fields to their homes in Mexico. There were two carloads of the men, one from Santa Ana and the other loaded in Los Angeles. Every man had from $50 to $100 in his pocket, and this much real money places them States without a permit and may not approach within 100 yards of any wharf, pier, dock, warehouse, shed, elevator, storage house, railroad terminal, or other establishment, which the attorney general may designate. They are forbidden to travel on the ocean, Gerat Lakes or any river or waterway, either on public vessels, or in their own private boats. They may not enter or reside in the District of Columbia or the Panama Canal zone and are not permitted to make aerial flights in balloons or airplanes. The new order applies to Germans living within the United States, the Philippines, Porto Rico, Alaska and other possessions or territories but does not affect subjects of Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria. It is effective immediately, but the registration and licensing for travelling will not be put into full effect for a few days. In administering the new regulations, the department of justice will abide by the government's established policy of annoying law abiding Germans as little as possible and the full pressure of the restrictions will be imposed only on Germans suspected of having evil designs against the United States. The registration probably will be made by local police. The same authority probably will be designated to receive periodical reports from alien enemies and to issue permits for travel. Germans without evil intent, officials believe, will comply willingly with the terms of the new restrictions in the knowledge that similar restrictions are imposed on alien enemies by other warring nations. Those who disobey, however, will place themselves open to suspicion immediately and the government will exercise its privilege of interning for the war any who fail to voluntarily comply. German women are not subject to the regulators inasmuch as alien enemies were defined by the espionage act as "natives, citizens, denizens or subjects of the hostile nation or government, being males of the age of 14 years or upward." The proclamation, issued as a supplement to the one declaring a state of war with Germany, provides further that an alien enemy shall not, except on public ferries, be found on "any ocean, bay, river or other waters" within the United States. They are forbidden to fly in airplanes, balloons or airships, and to enter the Panama Canal Zone. THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS LEAVING CAMP LEWIS Many Southern California Boys Being Transferred to Other Camps Official permission was given at the office of Maj.-Gen H. A. Greene at Camp Lewis Monday to announce the fact that 8000 National army men, several hundred of whom were from this part of the state, have been transferred from Camp Lewis to other camps, and may see service in France soon. Names of the places to which the men were sent are being withheld. The last of the 8000 troops left Camp Lewis a week ago. The movement was in progress for eight days. Thousands, including camp bands, saw the men off. The men transferred were from the depot brigade, and from all states in the Western Department. They were mainly third and fourth quota men. Arrivals at the camp of 2500 regulars of the Fourteenth and Forty-fourth Infantry, however, has brought the number of men in training up to 40,000 again. Insurance taken out by officers and men at Camp Lewis under the new government act has reached the total of $112,000,000, according to reports made to Lieut. R. E. McNally, in charge of the work. If all the exemption boards took the same interest in the draft army as does Venice, there would be a considerable addition to the visitors roll at the camp. Sunday H. E. Vanters, chief clerk of the Venice board, spent the day among the men of the 364th Infantry. He found nothing but expres- Immigration Inspectors Kuykendayy and Blee Monday made their last inspection of Mexicans enroute from their completed laborers in the sugar beet fields to their homes in Mexico. There were two carloads of the men, one from Santa Ana and the other loaded in Los Angeles. Every man had from $50 to $100 in his pocket, and this much real money places them in the well to do class in Mexico. It is estimated by immigration officials that not less than 2000 Mexicans were brought across the line to work in the beet fields of Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura and Riverside counties. Of this number one third have been sent to the Imperial valley where they will be engaged as laborers in the cotton fields, where they can earn from 1½ to 4 cents a pound gathering that stape. The experiment of bringing Mexican laborers into this country has proven very satisfactory to the beet growers, and it is understood that unless the labor situation changes, a proposition will again be made to the secretary of labor to lift the ban as to alien labor for a period of six months, with the understanding that the importations shall only be available for the purposes of agriculture, and shall be properly identified by card and photographs by the officers of the immigration service. Every man interviewed by the immigration inspectors desired to make a return visit here, as they were well treated and well paid. Last week there was some difference of opinion as to payments made by the sugar beet companies to the men, and eight Mexicans remained over to have the matter straightened The railroads are now moving what promises to be by far the biggest potato crop in the history of the country, according to H. P. Anewalt, general freight agent for the Santa Fe in Los Angeles. The crop, it is estimated, will total about 453,000,000 bushels, 50 per cent more than last year. The movement will continue until next April. Reports received by the commission on car service indicate that even with intensive loading more than 75,000 cars will be required to handle the crop. The Eastern Star of Orange entertained Chispa chapter of this city on Thursday evening, thirty members going over to that place. The Anaheimers report that they were most royally entertained, a program consisting of music and readings being given and a number of speakers being called upon, H. O. Henderson and Mrs. Eva Boyd, being among them. Anaheim lodge's quota of the Knights of Columbus war fund was over subscribed within ten minutes at the hall Friday night.

A wedding that came unannounced and was a surprise to their friends was solemnized at Santa Ana a Saturday when Miss Clara Altnow became the bride of Edwin G. Curtis of Brea.

As the pains continued an operation was performed when it was discovered an intestine had been ruptured. The rupture was sewed up and he is now reported recovering.
