He leaves a widow, Mrs. Rose Harrison, but no children. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison have been residents here for a number of years and have a wide circle of warm friends who grieve over the loss of one who was esteemed by all. Mr. Harrison and his wife spent a week or two visiting Word reaches here through letters and news dispatches that the cities and towns to the north and nearer the big cities are now being overrun with grafters who claim to be soliciting war funds. The question of giving to a war fund of any kind is one to be taken very seriously by the local man. It is well to remember that no fund of any kind is worth giving to unless it has received mention in the newspaper and can show some backing in local circles. Further than that, no solicitor should be given money unless you know him or know of him. The bigger funds of the war use complete local assistance, and the smaller ones will have their representatives duly accredited in your newspaper before they come to your house to ask for money. Don't be taken in on any fake solicitation, but when such a person as you may suspicion comes to your door, notify the police at once. The junior class of the high school quit wor kat noon Friday and hiked into the mountain country, spending the outing at Idyllwild, returning home Sunday evening.

MINE OUTPUT HEAVY A million car loads of coal more than ever was taken out of the ground in this country in a single year and have been mined and delivered in 1917. Another million car loads were needed, but no human power could make so sudden an increase in production where the bare physical requirements were on so vast a scale. But the necessities of the war cannot wait and the American people must face a typical American problem, meeting and satisfying an unheard of increase in demand for coal with inadequate facilities for creating increased supply. The school children will not neglect any coal shovels, no matter how humble or how exalted they may be. President Wilson's shovel at the White House will be tagged, as well as the shovels of Governor Stephens, Mayors, millionaires and wage workers of California and the nation. In the minds of the Fuel Administration officials and the boys and girls of the schools Tag-Your-Shovel Day will be a serious occasion. Its main purpose is to help supply the machine power to help the man power win the war. INCREASE SHIPBUILDING AT L.A.HARBOR Government Going to Enlarge Contract Of Local Company Mayor Woodman, requested by the United States Emergency Fleet Commission to investigate the possibilities of increasing the shipbuilding facilities at the harbor, declared last evening that the government allotment for ship building, both steel and wood; for Los Angeles is 500,000 tons yearly. There are building now, or contracted Frank Harrison, a prominent rancher of the Eastside, and one of Anaheim's most esteemed citizens, died at his home on East Center street on Thursday of pneumonia. Deceased was 65 years old. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Rose Harrison, but no children. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison have been residents here for a number of years and have a wide circle of warm friends who grieve over the loss of one who was esteemed by all. Mr. Harrison and his wife spent a week or two visiting in Los Angeles and Pasadena and had just returned to their home when he was stricken with pneumonia, living only three days after being attacked. Funeral services were held at Backs & Terry's parlors at 10 o'clock Monday. J. C. Mauerhan speaking of the lack of rainfall so far this season said the other day that he recalled the winter of 1884, when no rain fell until the latter part of January, and that the precipitation for the rest of the winter amounted to 35 inches, causing floods and considerable damage in many portions of Southern California. Mr. Mauerhan was at that time a member of the Los Angeles fire department, and assisted in the rescue of many families in the flooded districts of that city. While he does not expect to see a repetition of these occurrences, he looks for plenty of rain, and believes the precipitation will begin in the near future. The Anaheim Laundry displays a banner with thirty crosses on it, announcing that thirty members of the force are members of the Red Cross. The Pacific Telephone company is not far behind, twenty-two members being shown on its card. The Anaheim Citrus Fruit Growers' association will begin packing the navel crop next week. More than forty members have been added during the past year, and the acreage has been largely increased, partly through new membership and partly by young orchards coming into bearing. Miss Etta Schwindler entertained a number of friends Friday afternoon, the occasion being the birthday of Mrs. Herman Schindler. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Yungblut were host and hostess to a number of friends Friday evening at their Broadway home. Five hundred was the di Government Going to Enlarge Contract Of Local Company Mayor Woodman, requested by the United States Emergency Fleet Commission to investigate the possibilities of increasing the shipbuilding facilities at the harbor, declared last evening that the government allotment for ship building, both steel and wood, for Los Angeles is 500,000 tons yearly. There are building now, or contracted for ships of 160,000 tons capacity, having a valuation of something like $40,000,000. That the government had increased its allotment for Los Angeles came as a surprise to many persons, though not to those at present engaged in shipbuilding construction. By them it is construed that the United States intends asking the present ship building companies to increase greatly their present plants, or to urge the building of new ones. Mayor Woodman favors both plans. "The Emergency Fleet Commission will be informed just as soon as I can complete a survey of the ship-building facilities at the harbor, that the city and board of harbor commissioners will offer every inducement to ship builders to increase the capacity of their plants, or to build new ones," he said. "I was to have started the survey today, but was detained in my office because of the power development situation, also urged by the government; but I am going to the harbor tomorrow to begin the task the Emergency Fleet commission has placed on my shoulders. I have had this question up today with members of the harbor commission, and we are a unit in our efforts to assist the government in every way possible to advance its shipbuilding program." On Monday the chamber of commerce, through its industrial bureau, made public the information that ships are built with as great efficiency as, and much more rapidly, in Los Angeles than in other ports in the United States. This is possible, it was explained, because there are no particular labor troubles here, and that material and supplies are easily obtainable. There is said to be a shortage of lumber in the Southern states and in eastern localities, and the presence of winter in southern and eastern ports has greatly retarded the emergency fleet work. By those informed as to ship building probabilities for the Pa- Miss Etta Schwindler entertained a number of friends Friday afternoon, the occasion being the birthday of Mrs. Herman Schindler. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth were host and hostess to a number of friends Friday evening at their Broadway home. Five hundred was the diversion of the evening, Mrs. Malrose and Mrs. Borchert being winners of the ladies' prizes and Messrs Ames and Alhborn proving champions among the gentlemen. Secretary Whitaker of the board of trade received a letter from John P. Carter. Internal revenue collector, announcing that Mr. Carter will not be able to speak at a board of trade lunch on today, owing to a previous engagement, but will arrange for a later date. Mr. Whitaker will endeavor to secure him for next Thursday. Mrs. T. Stull came in from Iowa last week and will remain through the winter visiting relatives and friends, among them being Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Hill, Mr. and Mrs. George A. Mills and Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Troutman. It is announced that Mrs. Jessica Hazzard, home demonstrator for the government, who lectured at the M. E. church Thursday, has been engaged to give an illustrated lecture with elides, and the date will be fixed for the near future. Her talks are instructive and every housewife who desires to help the government and economize in her housekeeping should arrange to hear this lecture. The new officers of the Masonic lodge for the coming year were installed Monday night. They are, A. Alexander, W. M.; H. O. Henderson, S. W.; E. H. Metcalf, J. W.; C. A. Boege, Treasurer; W. H. Chambers, Secretary; Harry Sears, S. D.; Geo. Chambers, J. D.; T. L. Hoag, Marshal, Chas. Federman and J. L. Adkins, Stewards, and J. N. Enearl, tyler. Miss Rachael Kuhlman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Kuhlman of this city, was married Monday at Los Angeles to Hugh Donahue of San Bernardino, Rev. F. W. Mitchell, formerly of this city, performing the ceremony. The young couple will make a honeymoon tour of Southern California before settling down in their home at San Berdoo. Deputy County Clerk Joe Backs was in town on Tuesday posting notices in each precinct for applications for position as officers in the elections to be held in Orange county this year. Persons desirious of obtaining positions as election officers may obtain necessary blanks at the city clerk's office in this city, Brea, Fullerton, Orange, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach and at the county clerk's office. Joe says candidates for county offices are beginning to bob up serenely, and adds that the political pot has taken on a decided simmer. His many friends in this part of the county hope to get behind him for something nice at the court house, but Joe says it is too early to talk politics and he is sawing wood and attending to his duplex than in other ports in the United States. This is possible, it was explained, because there are no particular labor troubles here, and that material and supplies are easily obtainable. There is said to be a shortage of lumber in the Southern states and in eastern localities, and the presence of winter in southern and eastern ports has greatly retarded the emergency fleet work. By those informed as to ship building probabilities for the Pacific coast, it is believed that the United States proposes to have much of the delayed work transferred to Los Angeles so that the hulls may be floated by early spring.

The government has announced it will award contracts where the greatest efficiency and speed are displayed, and the word that Los Angeles' allotment has been increased to 500,000 tons yearly is taken to mean that the government believes Los Angeles is to be the pace maker for the rest of the ship building industries in the United States. A few weeks ago several syndicates were planning to enter the ship building field, but abandoned their plans when a change in the government's program was announced. Yesterday Mayor Woodman stated he believes two of these syndicates would be revived, as the new program appears to permit the building of wooden ships for private individuals and corporations as well as for use of the United States.

Harry Whitaker, secretary of the board of trade was in Los Angeles the first of the week and secured Messrs Fellig and Dudley to speak at the annual banquet of the board which will be held Monday evening, January 21. These gentlemen are both splendid talkers and will have something important to say on existing conditions. News dispatches to the Los Angeles papers state that the hospital unit arrived in New York last Friday, and from there went to Philadelphia where they will be fitted with uniforms before sailing for France. The unit consists of 60 trained nurses and includes two from Placentia, Miss May Strain and Miss Sue Dauser. The later is Chief Nurse, and has charge of the party. Placentia is to have a troop of Boy Scouts. The boys have been ready for such a step for some time, but the man to take charge, as Scout Master was not at hand. Now John E. Scott of the Placentia National Bank has come forward and volunteered to take charge of the work. Blanks have been sent for and the necessary preliminary steps are being taken. Mr. Scott says the boys are responding readily, and many of the business men of the town have volunteered their assistance in the work. Many Southern California vegetable growers have made contracts with the British government to grow turnips.

The contract price is reported to be $13.50 per ton. N. F. Morse of Placentia had a close call from cyanide poisoning while engaged in fumigating trees. The hose from the generator got a kink in it and threw the solution all over him. He was overcome by the fumes and fell, cutting one lip through to the bone. His sons pulled him out of No Man's land and gove him first aid until teh arrival of the doctor. It required considerable effort on the doctor's part to get the poison out of his lungs and restore his circulation to normal.
