"We are directed," said one of the board "to call particular attention to one requirement. The registrant is required to give his occupation now, and to tell what kind of work he has been doing for some years past. That question must be answered specifically. For instance, a man must not simply say he is a farmer. He must say that he owns and operates a bean farm. He must say he drives a tractor, or he drives a team, or he is a farm laborer. It is not sufficient for a man to say he is a railroad man. He must say he is a conductor of a freight train, a tracklayer, or a telegrapher. If that question is not properly answered, we are directed to see that it is properly answered." A marriage license was issued Saturday to William Bond and Mrs. Hester Hansard, both of this city.

Features of unusual interest will be on the program. There will be no evening services. FARM SCHOOL SOMETIME The people who are working for a farm school for Southern nCalifornia to be located in Riverside, are going to get somewhere. They have the right sort of persistence. They can see far enough ahead to realize that young men and old need practical farm education if they are to wring a livelihood from the soil under the trying conditions that exist in some of the valleys of Southern California. There are wonderful possibilities in desert farming but the tenderfoot has no business to attempt to do it without some knowledge of what he is going up against. A farm school in the South is needed for the reason if for no other. The University of California is a remarkable institution and its college of agriculture is growing to be one of the greatest of its kind in the world. It has done a great work in its efforts for farm advisers throughout the state. It has the farm school at Davis and the citrus experiment station at Riverside. There is a large acrage owned near Fresno and it is carrying on a tremendous amount of extension work through the correspondence courses and by sending its men into all parts of the state when called upon. But there is the lack in Southern California of the sort of instruction given at Davis for the people who could attend courses here but who cannot go so far from here. There is parity school that vies preparation or part of South, where are different parts of the desert valley. But, as we is sure to co-operate largely a queen before it is laid to rest to the location of this farm school located in this university California any way be periment staircase school of tractor many ways of research time with quarters, would mense saving widely separate. One of these present situations women of all forms are movement for ferent organ edly able gents of this cerity of this nature with the Parent similar impulse also noticeable whether near or not is favored site for these courses here but who cannot go Cards in the windows announce that the wholesale liquor houses in Anaheim will be closed on Christmas day in order to give the proprietors and their employes an opportunity to observe the day. The retail man are also discussing the matter and may conclude to close their doors on that day. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Cook returned on Tuesday from San Jacinto Hot Springs where they have been sojourning for the past three weeks. Howard Krause, who left here for Camp Lewis some weeks ago, afterward going to Camp Mills, Long Island, has been discharged, and returned to his home last week. He announces that he is here temporarily, and may yet have a chance to fight the bosches. Mullinix Drug Store. W. A. McCammon of Pasadena was in town Tuesday in the interest of the Tournament of Roses. Mr. McCammon is endeavoring to induce Anaheim to put a float in the parade on New Year's day. Mrs. Julia Payne of Los Angeles has been visiting in town for several days, the guest of her father, L. Nemetz. The city trustees have leased a room in the Masonic building and will move the municipal government there while the new city hall is building. The grand jury recommends that since the conditions in the court house offices are cramped, the board of supervisors look about for proper nearby, in order that the court house grounds may remain intact. The jury also believes that the county park should be taken care of and improved to a greater extent, and it is advised that the board of supervisors appoint a park commission, to serve without pay, to look after this work. It is stated that conditions of the schools as a whole are good, but suggestions as to minor improvements are contained in nearly every report of the schools. It is suggested that school supplies be bought through the purchasing agent in the future. There are too many justices of the peace in the county, say the jurors, and it is recommended that the number be reduced to not more than two in each supervisorial district. The deputies serving under officials in this county are models of neatness and accuracy, according to a statement made in the grand jury's report, one of the most concise and clearest reports ever filed, which was read before Judge West and approved by him. A large number of these deputies, especially in the county court house, are women, and District Attorney L. A. West has previously stated that he has never seen as efficient a body of women, or as many women employed to do the kind of work they do here, as in this county. The grand jury stated that they had no corrections whatever to make concerning the work of these deputies. The report as a whole was one of approval, as there were no indictments, as usual, and few criticisms of condemnatory nature. In only two instances were any mistakes found New Fairyland Thurs. & Fri.

HART in "A Cold Day Dec. 30 and 31, Geraldine Far "Woman God Forgot" Gift Problems Are Easily Solved At Falkenstein's DEPARTMENT STORE Anaheim's Greatest Gift Store so far from home for special courses. There is particularly a need for a school that would have in mind the preparation of farmers to cope with the sort of problems that exist in the South, where the forms of agriculture are different from those of any other part o f the United States in many of the desert valleys. But, as we said before, the school is sure to come some time. It is now largely a question of how long it will be before it can be secured and River-side is the logical location for it owing to the fact that there is already located in that community the center for the university's efforts in Southern California and while it would not in any way be a part of the citrus experiment station or the graduate school of tropical agriculture, there are many ways in which the presence of the research activities here at this time with an administrative headquarters, would make possible an immense saving in overhead from two widely separated institutions. One of the brightest features of the present situation is the fact that the women of all parts of Southern California are thoroughly behind the movement for the school in their different organizations and will undoubtedly be able to impress upon the regents of the state university the sincerity of their work and the seriousness with which it is looked upon by the Parent Teacher associations and similar important organizations. It is also noticeable that every community, whether near to the present institution or not is favorable to Riverside as the site for the proposed new institution. THRIFT STAMPS That the chief business of the thrift stamps is not to teach the people of the United States merely to save money, but is to teach a rigid economy in every part of the daily existence, that will mean real conservation of the country's staples, is the opinion of John A. McFadden, county chairman of the War Savings Committee in Southern California. "In order to save money" said McFadden on Tuesday, "one must practice certain economies. The beginning of one, means the suggestion of another, and if the saving of small amounts in this way is begun, it will not be long until the practice is carried into other forms. I believe the launching of this thrift campaign is the best thing that ever happened to Americans as a people.
