Walnut growers of Southern California have developed a new industry that is going to help win the war. Instead of using corn meal to pack dynamite and high explosives, the government hereafter is to use pulverized English walnut shells, the product of Southern California orchards.

For several years past the doctor has made a visit to Anaheim each winter, and he finally decided that this was a mighty good place to live through the entire year. He is a graduate of Iowa state university and, although a regular physician and surgeon, he has made a special study of eye, ear, nose, throat and lung diseases. The annual election of officers of the Orange County Rural Carriers' association took place Friday evening, the following being elected: President, P. I. Bird, of Orange; vice president, T. H.

He was married a few months ago, and leaves a wife, mother and brother. He was 26 years of age. Harry Ustick, former teller in the First National Bank, is recovering from a severe illness that confined him to his home for several weeks. He suffered from an acute attack of pleurisy, and at one time was threatened with pneumonia. Mr. Ustick will take a well earned vacation, and as yet is undecided as to when he will resume the banking business. His many friends hope to see him returned to his former robust health. The suit of F. B. Kern against City Marshal Kellenberger, in which the former claims damages to the amount of $16,450 for false imprisonment, is being tried in superior court, but was not concluded when we went to press. This is the third time this matter has been in court, the jury on both previous occasions falling to agree. Kern claims Kellenberger arrested him and confined him for more than half an hour in the city jail without cause. Carpenters and masons are at work cutting eight feet off the front of Swope Brothers building on the south side of West Center street, setting it back to the newly-established line.

"Doc" Lorhing who has been in charge of the oil station at the corner of Center and Lemon streets for the past several years has been transferred to a similar position at Norwalk. Doc had a great many friends among the patrons of the various stage lines leaving that point and was always ready to give information from "What time did the 10 o'clock stage leave," to "What is the best road to Bakersfield?" The closing of a section of road just beyond Buena Park while repairs are being made on defective pavement has shut off traffic temporarily on that route to Los Angeles. Travel which chose that route, leaving the state highway on Orange-thorpe avenue, this side of Fullerton, is diverted along the state highway through Whittler. If a record received by Deputy Sheriff Maxwell from the bureau of identification at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., is correct, George A. Fox of Los Angeles is soon to add another dismissal to his record. Deputy District Attorney Menton has not enough evidence against Fox on which to proceed with the preliminary examination. Fox is charged with embezzling $20,000 from Mrs. Anna G. Walters of Anaheim. Reports from Los Angeles indicate that the woman will not prosecute him. According to Maxwell's record, Fox was arrested for libel in Los Angeles on May 20, 1908, case dismissed; arrested for embezzlement in Oakland, Dec. 7, 1908, case dismissed; arrested for vagrancy and bumco, San Diego, April 4, 1916, case dismissed; arrested at Uklah, Aug. 7, 1914, felony, no disposition reported; arrested in San Francisco, June 1916, vagrancy and bumco, no disposition reported.

Kern claims Kellenberger arrested him and confined him for more than half an hour in the city jail without cause. Carpenters and masons are at work cutting eight feet off the front of Swope Brothers building on the south side of West Center street, setting it back to the newly-established line. Murdock Henry who owns the building occupied by the Anahelm Pharma-cy will shortly begin slicing a piece off its front. Hey! There! You Suckers! You will surely miss a good time if you fail to attend the Midwinter Picnic, held by the Illinois State Society at Long Beach, Feb. 12. Bring your pumpkin pies and chicken, enough for all, and make this a grand reunion of all the "Suckers", young and old, visitors and hyphenated California-Illinoisan. There will be a brief program, rich in music and speeches. Any other information will be furnished by Dr.G.H.Galbraith, at Long Beach. Harry Sanden, who recently went to Camp Lewis and was rejected because of physical disqualifications, was arrested Tuesday by City Marshal Jernigan of Santa Ana on a charge of vagrancy. He was taken into custody at Santa Ana while he was waiting for a "hand-out." He called at a residence and asked for something to eat. He was told to wait, and City Marshal Jernigan was informed by phone and made the arrest. Jernigan found him slitting on the back steps waiting for something to eat. Sanden was serving in the county jail at the time of the draft registration, having been committed from Anahelm for disturbing the peace. When he served his term he was sent to Camp Lewis. A questionnaire sent to him at a local address came back to the board. While Sanden was in jail he got into trouble with a Mexican by the name of Rios, the latter slashing him in the head and side of the face with a razor. Kasper Chameris and party of friends, who were hunting in the county park, Tuesday brought in a lynx which the dogs had killed after a desperate battle.

Mrs. W. A. Dripps and Mr. and Mrs. Weider of Fillmore, have been visiting for some time past with J. E. Lemen and family of the Southside. The ladies are sisters of Mr. Lemen. Mrs. Dripps resided at Anaheim until three months ago when she moved to Ventura county. She has a large ranch in the Montebello oil region, but no developments have yet been made on it. She has not yet leased it, but it will undoubtedly prove valuable oil territory when wells are sunk on it. F. W. Lee, formerly of this city, but now in the mercantile business at Lankersheim, was stricken with paralysis Saturday morning. R. B. Herman went up Monday to see him and reports him in a serious condition, but the physicians hope for his recovery. He is speechless his tongue and throat being paralyzed and his right side is perfectly helpless. Roy Ferrell and Martin Rouse have sued E. M. and S. L. Hahn of Anaheim, for $2500. They allege that the defendants failed to keep an agreement to furnish them with water for a ranch in Riverside county, and that loss by reason of not having water was $1000. They say that Hahn brothers also let hogs run on an alfalfa ranch, and damaged it $1500. The case was started in Riverside county and was transferred to this county. Philip Mueller was a business visitor in town Monday from his home on the East Side. The political pot is beginning to simmer. It is announced that W. A. Renshaw of Fullerton will be a candidate for county surveyor. He is now city engineer of Fullerton and Brea. It is also stated that J. C. Burke will not be a candidate for re-election to the assembly because he cannot afford to neglect his law practice. Joe's numerous friends throughout the country will regret to hear this. Albert Pape and family of Homestead, Pa., have arrived and have decided to locate permanently. Mrs. Pape and the children visited here a year ago and upon returning home were so loud in their praise of Southern California, that the family decided to move west. Mr. Pape is a brother-in-law of Wm. Heger and the other day Billy took the new arrivals on a 300 mile auto trip to up coast cities, returning the same day. This is Mr. Pape's first visit here and he was so favorably impressed with the section that he has decided to stay. He was engaged in the contracting business in the east, and is arranging to dispose of his affairs and will remain here. Severe winter weather is helping experienced throughout the east and Mr. Pape says this balmy climate out west is something he never realized before and here he intends to stay. Kasper Chameris and party of friends, who were hunting in the county park, Tuesday brought in a lynx which the dogs had killed after a desperate battle. Some of the dogs were badly chewed up, but they finally killed the big cat. Theodore Roberts is assisting the government by giving away thrift stamps.

William Heger is doing his share in bringing people out of the blizzard belts and locating them in Southern California. Billy can't figure out why a person should live in a country where it is continually too hot or too cold when we have such balmy climate out west on tap nearly all the year round. Billy had several relatives living beyond the Rockies, but through his beautiful pen pictures of this matchless valley he has succeeded in bringing them here, where in every instance, when they once experienced the joys of living under bright and sunny skies, they have never cared to return to the land where zero weather predominates. John P. Carter of Los Angeles, internal revenue collector for this district, will address the people at the business men's luncheon at noon today, R. T. Blow, who is in Anaheim this week recording the incomes of all our citizens subject to the tax, will also speak.

Among other things she urged that women be represented in the bureaus. Mrs. U. S. Stewart, of Highlands, of the Parent Teachers Association, spoke on the proposed farm school for Southern California in conjunction with the experiment station at Riverside. She said the state university people favor such a school, but have not promised that one will be established, or if decided upon that it would be started within a definite time. They say there should be one here, as the school at Davis, with different soil and climatic conditions, is not satisfactory for instructions to farmers of this part of the state. The need of a school is recognized in the South. Mrs. John Bishop of San Bernardino, told of education as applied to the allen element which is now carried on in America. Taken altogether this conference is considered one of the best ever held by the federation. That was the impression of all who attended and expressed themselves in relation to the meeting.

Carter of Los Angeles, internal revenue collector for this district, will address the people at the business men's luncheon at noon today, R. T. Blow, who is in Anaheim this week recording the incomes of all our citizens subject to the tax, will also speak. These gentlemen will explain the income tax law and make it plain to all who are uncertain about the matter. The speeches will be interesting. PRESIDENT'S COUNCIL MEETS AT FULLERTON Interesting Session of Representatives Of Woman's Clubs The regular meeting of the executive board and presidents' council of the southern district California Federation of Women's Clubs was held at the Christian church in Fullerton last Saturday, starting at 10:30 in the morning. Mrs. C. C. Arnold, of Riverside, the president, was present and presided. The morning session consisted of a board conference and was attended by practically all of the chairwomen. At noon a luncheon was served by the ladies of the Christian church and forty-four sat at the tables and par-took of the delicious repast, for which the ladies of the church have become almost famous. The afternoon session, which convened at 2 o'clock, was in reality a conference on the vital questions of the hour. Mrs. Frank Gibson, of Los Angeles, Senders cannot forward parcels for soldiers in France via "Port of Embarkation." Senders of such parcels weighing over seven pounds, received at New York after December 5, 1917, are being notified to furnish return postage. Such of parcels as conform to the weight limit of seven pounds are being forwarded by the postal service. All parcels must continue to be inspected by the postmaster as follows: "No prohibited matter contained in this package . . . Postmaster." Please bear in mind that parcels addressed to the care of the Commanding General, Port of Embarkation, whatever their weight, cannot be accepted. Parcels not exceeding seven pounds in weight may be sent direct through the mails as heretofore, if properly addressed to a member of the American Expeditionary Forces.
