VOLUME XXXXVII NEEDS OF NATION FIRST, SAYS M’CORD PRESIDENT OF BOARD OF TRADE DEFINES POLICY OF THAT BODY DURING PRESENT YEAR PATRIOTIC SPEECHES AND MUSIC AT THE ANNUAL BANQUET MONDAY EVENING Patriotism was the paramount subject at the annual banquet of the Anaheim board of trade which was held in the banquet hall of Masonic Temple Monday night. All the speeches hinged upon the war and the necessity of subordinating everything during the coming year to the needs of the government in the conflict in which it is engaged. Even Fellings’ orchestra, which furnished stirring music, both vocal and instrumental, for the occasion, had arranged its program to fit the temper of the audience, and was vociferously applauded and frequently by fictitious means must be propped up or it will fall with a crash. He favored a steady healthy growth, built upon a solid foundation. Mr. Dudley was followed by William A. Sellick, also of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, his subject being “Development of the Chamber of Commerce.” Mr. Sellick told of his experiences in the San Francisco chambers of commerce and stated that these bodies were largely responsible for the rapid growth of the cities. In San Francisco, he said, some business firms, during his connection with it, paid as high as four thousand dollars per year into the chamber of commerce, and considered their money well invested. In Los Angeles many business firms annually contributed one thousand dollars or more to that body in consequence of which Los Angeles is the best advertised city in the world. Money spent through the chamber of commerce or board of trade, he said, was well invested, and he advised all business men and property owners to contribute to the society whether or not they took an active part in the proceedings at its meetings. Secretary Whitaker exhibited the silver cup won by the Anaheim board of trade at the Pasadena Tournament of Roses, and explained that the credit for winning it was due H. A. Dickel, Herman Stern and Joe Wagner, who had constructed the float.

All the speeches hinged upon the war and the necessity of subordinating everything during the coming year to the needs of the government in the conflict in which it is engaged. Even Fellings' orchestra, which furnished stirring music, both vocal and instrumental, for the occasion, had arranged its program to fit the temper of the audience, and was vociferously applauded and frequently encored. Some of the latest war songs were rendered, including, "Weer Going to Win, By Heck!" "Somewhere in France," "Where Do We Go From Here Boys?" "We're Going Over," and "Goodbye Broadway." C. E. Holcomb made an admirable toastmaster, sandwiching in appropriate remarks between the music and the speeches. The banquet was provided by the ladies of the Eastern Star. They served an excellent feed, the menu being as follows: Celery Oyster Cocktail Fruit Salad Roast Veal with Herb Dressing Mashed Potatoes Brown Gravy Jelly Young Peas Parker House Rolls English Plum Pudding With Brandy Sauce Coffee Fruit F. C. Krause had been selected to make an opening address, giving the newly elected officers a little fatherly advice, but at the last moment he phoned Mr. Holcomb that owing to an indisposition he was unable to attend. Thomas Crawford, therefore, was asked by the chair to take Mr. Krause's place on the program. Mr. Crawford made a short but pointed talk, complimenting the society on its fortunate selection of officers in the past, and giving it as his opinion that the officers chosen for the year 1918 were wisely selected. A. B. McCord, president of the board of trade, responded to Mr. Crawford's speech and outlined the program of that body for 1918. The paramount duty of the people of America in this year 1918, and possibly beyond this year, he declared, was to subordinate everything to the needs of the government in its conduct of the war. While the board of trade would continue to work for the development and improvement of Anaheim, local affairs must be secondary to the needs of the nation. Business interests, private interest or commerce or board of trade, he said, was well invested, and he advised all business men and property owners to contribute to the society whether or not they took an active part in the proceedings at its meetings. Secretary Whitaker exhibited the silver cup won by the Anaheim board of trade at the Pasadena Tournament of Roses, and explained that the credit for winning it was due H. A. Dickel, Herman Stern and Joe Wagner, who had constructed the float. As a fitting close to the evening's entertainment the orchestra struck up "America," and the entire audience joined in singing that patriotic song. BLESSING SERVICE FLAG AT ST. BONIFACE CHURCH Impressive Ceremonies Arranged for Next Sunday Morning Before the ten o'clock mass at St. Boniface church on Sunday, Jan. 27, a service flag will be blessed. The pupils of St. Joseph's Academy will assemble at 9:30 a.m., at the old church building, also the various parish societies. A procession will be formed—Cross bearer, acolytes, vested altar servers and clergy, and pupils of St. Joseph's academy. A large American flag will be carried. Following in rank will be the city officials, then the service flag escorted by the gentlemen of the parish. In front of St. Boniface church a hollow square will be formed. At the door of the church Father Dubbel will meet the procession and call the muster roll. Captain Ahiborn will respond. Entering the church, the choir will sing "The Star Spangled Banner." The blessing will take place before the main altar. The high mass will be celebrated by Padre Guadalupe, and Father Dubbel will preach, his subject being "Our Service Flag." After the mass the prayer for the government will be said, the ceremony concluding with the "Te Deum." The service flag will have thirty-two stars, representing that number of men from St. Baniface's parish in the service of the country. An invitation is extended to all citizens of the city to join with St. Boniface's parishioners to honor those who are serving mankind. SUPERVISORS COMING TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA State Association to Meet in Los Angeles Shortly of trade, responded to Mr. Crawford's speech and outlined the program of that body for 1918. The paramount duty of the people of America in this year 1918, and possibly beyond this year, he declared, was to subordinate everything to the needs of the government in its conduct of the war. While the board of trade would continue to work for the development and improvement of Anaheim, local affairs must be secondary to the needs of the nation. Business interests, private interests and societies must all be servient to the government's demands. "When I learned that I was to be president of the board of trade during the present year," said Mr. McCord, "I concluded that our duty was to make that body servient to the wants of the government during the year, or during the war. A resolution to this effect was adopted by the board, and we are committed to the policy of backing the government during 1918. President Wilson has said this war is to be fought to a victorious peace. It is up to us to support Uncle Sam and do our utmost toward helping him win that victory." "Many problems are confronting us today. We are inclined to think of government as something apart from us, but we should understand that we are a part of the nation and it is our duty to support the government and not whine and criticise if things are not always to our taste. All activities of the board of trade are to be servient to war work this year. We can boost Anaheim after we have won the war." A. S. Dudley, assistant secretary of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce was on the program for an address on "Boosting," but Mr. Dudley objected to the title, stating that he was opposed to boosting. Any town, he said that is boosted in mushroom fashion. SUPERVISORS COMING TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA State Association to Meet in Los Angeles Shortly The annual meeting of the Association of Supervisors of California, comprising fifty-eight counties, five supervisors to each county, will be held in Los Angeles in the near future. The date will be fixed as soon as the desires of the various supervisors are learned through a circular sent out by Jonathan S. Dodge, secretary. The members of the association will be taken through the county institutions and also shown what Los Angeles county produces. They will be brought to Orange county as the guests of the supervisors of this county, and entertained at a barbecue. The annual meeting will probably be held in the Hall of Records and will be a four day session. ANAHEIM TEAM LEADS The Anaheim Elks bowling team was scheduled to play the San Bernardino Elks on the latter's alleys last night. In the league, composed of four Elks teams, the locals lead at the present time, and expect to maintain the lead until the wind-up of the schedule. Following is the standing: Played. Won Lost P.C.

Carter, internal revenue collector for this district, and all who heard him have a pretty clear idea of what the government requires of them. Single men with an income of more than one thousand dollars per year must pay on the excess above that amount unless they are supporting a relative, in which case they are considered heads of families and are exempt $2000. Married men are exempted two thousand dollars, and in case of children two hunbe charged off only when such help is employed entirely in the farm operations, such as cooking exclusively for hired help, or in the care of milk, etc. If female help is employed to assisting farmer's wife in cooking, etc., in the farm operations, a portion of the expense can be charged off. A farm owner cannot deduct the value of his own services, neither can be deduct for the labor of members of his own family who assist him, when such members are minors. Premiums paid for insurance for farm equipment, barns, etc., may be charged off. Premiums on insurance for dwelling cannot be charged off. Pleasure car owners cannot deduct depreciation or cost of repairs. Owners of commercial cars can deduct depreciation, and oil, gasoline and tire costs. Anyone receiving dividends from stocks must enter amount as cash receipts. No tax will have to be paid on such income, however, unless by the inclusion of such income the net income of the recipient is over $5000. The company or corporation pays the tax. Donations to charitable organizations up to 15 per cent of life income, can be charged off. PRO-GERMANISM CAUSE OF HIS REMOVAL REGISTRATION CLERK J. W. KOHL-ENBERGER SIDETRACKED BY COUNTY CLERK EDWARDS COMMITTEE OF PATRIOTIC CITIZENS CHARGE THAT HE IS NOT LOYAL TO THE GOVERNMENT Monday morning County Clerk Edwards had ten deputies acting as registration clerks in Anaheim, but Monday evening the number had been reduced to nine. J. W. Kohlenberger, who had made application for a position and received his appointment, a week after the original list of names had been made public, was summoned to appear at the clerk's office Monday afternoon and answer to charges that had been filed against him. Failing to refute the charges to the satisfaction of the clerk, further blanks make one election." Messrs. A. Tier, Amherst the comm retirement bers of th The ins Edwards the "booze feat the w ing a sho unprovok jure the reputation Orange thing th say.

Carter, internal revenue collector for this district, and all who heard him have a pretty clear idea of what the government requires of them. Single men with an income of more than one thousand dollars per year must pay on the excess above that amount unless they are supporting a relative, in which case they are considered heads of families and are exempt $2000. Married men are exempted two thousand dollars, and in case of children two hundred dollars more for each child. City and county officials are exempt from the income tax on their salaries. Money donated for benevolent organizations such as the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. and church, can be deducted from the income to the amount of 15 per cent. The state council of defense, the banks and business men generally, have greatly assisted in the work of spreading information relative to the tax, and the motion picture shows will shortly take the matter up and do their bit by spreading formation on the screen. Every citizen, he said, should make himself familiar with the requirements of the law and should be prompt in making his report if he comes under its provisions. Severe penalties attachs to delinquencies, and ignorance of the law is no excuse for failure to obey it. Ample opportunity has been given the people to learn the particulars, and the newspapers have all published the explanations. H. V. Weisel acted as toastmaster, and at the close o' Mr. Carter's address Postmaster Ahlborn anhunced that Anaheim was expected to purchase $140,000 worth of thrift stamps. There are many questions that puzzle those who are liable to the tax. Farmers, in particular, are in doubt as to what they should charge off as expense in the operation of their ranches. For the information of the farmers, the following facts have been gathered which will assist them in making out their reports: Money received from all sources during the year should be entered as income. Only the amount of cash received from crops during the year 1917 should be returned as income. If returns were received during 1917 for produce raised in 1916, it should be entered. Money received after January 1, 1918, for crops of 1917 should not be entered. Farm produce consumed cannot be such income, however, unless by inclusion of such income the net income of the recipient is over $5000. The company or corporation pays the tax. Donations to charitable organizations up to 15 per cent of the income, can be charged off. DEATH ANGEL SUMMONS OLD ANAHEIM CITIZEN George H. Hatfield Succumba to Paralysis Wednesday Morning George H. Hatfield, an old time resident of this section, died at his home on Clementine street early Wednesday morning after a few days' illness. He was stricken with paralysis on Saturday, January 12. He had suffered two previous strokes, and considering his age, 72 years, little hope was entertained of his recovery. Mr. Hatfield had been a resident of this section for 32 years. He was formerly a rancher but some years ago gave up active work and has resided at his home on Clementine street. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Helen Hatfield, a son, Norman, who resides at Brookhurst, a daughter, Mrs. W. B. Parrett, also of Brookhurst, two brothers, Daniel and Joseph, and a sister, Mrs. English of this city. Funeral services were held at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors at 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon, Rev. F. W. Mitchell of Los Angeles, former pastor of the Presbyterian church in this city, officiating. WATER COMPANY TO HAVE NEW RESERVOIR Steps Being Taken to Substitute Open Ditches With Pipe Director Sherwood was instructed at the meeting of the Anaheim Union Water Company's board Saturday to prepare plans and specifications for a reservoir of sufficient capacity to hold 300 inches of water for 12 hours. Director Beazley reported that Mrs. Eva Houston had agreed to pay $50 toward piping the present open ditch on north Garden Grove road, and on montion of Thamer, seconded by Miller the superintendent was instructed to be prepared to do the work as soon as all persons interested had signed the agreement. The charges filed against Kohlenberger were that while he is an American citizen, enjoying all the privileges of a citizen of this republic, living under the protection of the Star Spangled Banner, he is pro-German in his sympathies. The committee filing this complaint against Kohlenberger was composed of D. Jessurun, H. G. Ames, Thomas Crawford, Jay Parmentier, J. W. Duckworth, and H. M. Adams. They presented the case to Mr. Edwards and after hearing their reasons for asking Kohlenberger's discharge he immediately summoned that gentleman to appear and refute the charge, but as he failed to make satisfactory answer his further activity as a registration clerk was dispensed with until such time as he proves himself loyal to the Stars and Stripes and to the oath of allegiance which he took when his naturalization papers were presented to him. The Plain Dealer in Monday night's issue, assuming that it knew nothing of his discharge, states that dissatisfaction regarding his appointment was confined only to the "booze and boodle gang." In part it says: They (the booze and boodle gang) began by stacking the delegation of deputies appointed by the county clerk to take the registration of Anaheim. Many of the first registration deputies had their headquarters in the outlawed brass-ralled emporiums and every effort was made to secure the registration of those who remain in the faltering ranks of the wet brigade. But the conservationists woke up and started out to get a fair registration of Anaheim, to register everybody so that any election will be a true expression of what Anaheim really wants. One of their deputies, J. W. Kohlenberger was doing such a good job of it that the booze and boodle gang became alarmed. They sent a hurry up distress signal to County Clerk Edwards, pulled the usual sympathetic gag and told him everything else that would create an alarum, so Edwards writes Kohlenberger "there seems to be considerable stir in Anaheim about your appoint- Money received from all sources during the year should be entered as income. Only the amount of cash received from crops during the year 1917 should be returned as income. If returns were received during 1917 for produce raised in 1916, it should be entered. Money received after January 1, 1918, for crops of 1917 should not be entered. Farm produce consumed cannot be entered as receipts, neither can its cost of production be charged as an expense. Any animal, if bought, can be charged as a loss if it died in 1917. If it was raised by the owner, and dies, its value cannot be charged as a loss. In the case of an animal bought, the loss must be charged at the cost of the animal. If produce is exchanged for groceries or other commodities, its value should be entered as cash receipts. If animal is purchased for resale, charge price off as expense; add as income when sold. In developing young orchard, expense of maintaining and developing cannot be charged as an expense, these expenses being added to the investment. Taxes and interest can be charged off. On farm machinery, depreciation may be charged off, the per cent being in proportion to the cost and life of such implement. In pumping plants, if repairs are made, the cost can be charged off, but repairs and depreciation cannot both be charged off. If depreciation is $200, for instance, and repairs $400, $100 depreciation and $100 repairs may be charged off. Salaries to male help can be charged off. Salaries paid to female help can Director Beazley reported that Mrs. Eva Houston had agreed to pay $50 toward piping the present open ditch on north Garden Grove road, and on monton of Thamer, seconded by Miller the superintendent was instructed to be prepared to do the work as soon as all persons interested had signed the agreement. Director Dwyer suggested something should be done to do away with the open dirt ditch on West Cypress street, between Palm and Citron. He recommended the ditch be abandoned and a pipe line installed from Sycamore to West Cypress along Citron street. On motion duly seconded the superintendent was instructed to lay a 22 inch line as outlined above. Bids for booster pump to be installed at P. P. No. 1 were received from the Byron Jackson Co., and the A. S. Cameron Co. After considerable discussion as to the merits of the pumps the matter was on motion referred to the pumping plant committee with power to act. On motion duly seconded the following transfers of stock were granted: Two shares from J. Piper to J. M. Snearley, and three shares from A. B. Annlin to Pacific Electric Ry Co. Report of the Hurley Smith Co., the Amalgamated Oil Co., and the St-Helens Petroleum Co., for the month of December were received and filed. On motion duly seconded the request of Mrs. Hansladen to plant blackberry bushes on the company's right of way was referred to Director Dwyer. On motion duly seconded the Superintendent was instructed to install the big pump from No. 3 at No. 1. Editor Ernest blew into Anaheim a year ago and ever since his arrival in our midst he has been compiling a record of misstatements that have rasped the nerves of the people, but this is perhaps the rawest thing he has ever handed to his readers. He not only charges the balance of the registration force with being crooked instruments of the saloon interests, but insinuates that County Clerk Edwards is a party to the plan of the "booze and boodle gang" whatever that may be, to return a false registration for Anaheim. Furthermore he states that the gang alarmed at the pernicious activity of Kohlenberger in registering so many people who would vote against their interests, rushed to the county clerk's office to register a complaint against him, because "they realized that a fair election would go overwhelmingly against them in Anaheim, and they were determined to start out to get a fair registration of Anaheim, to register everybody so that any election will be a true expression of what Anaheim really wants. One of their deputies, J. W. Kohlenberger was doing such a good job of it that the booze and boodle gang became alarmed. They sent a hurry up distress signal to County Clerk Edwards, pulled him everything else that would create an alarm, so Edwards writes Kohlenberger "there seems to be considerable stir in Anaheim about your appointment as deputy, so you had better come in and see me." There was a stir all right—amongst the booze and boodle gang. Didn't they have plenty of registration blanks to take care of everybody, and at such convenient places! All a lady needed to do was to skid into a barrel house or lap-it-up joint, hoist a foot on the brass rail and with an elbow draped over the mahogany reckon she's like to register. Editor Ernest blew into Anaheim a year ago and ever since his arrival in our midst he has been compiling a record of misstatements that have rasped the nerves of the people, but this is perhaps the rawest thing he has ever handed to his readers.

MANISM OF HIS REVAL K J. W. KOHL-RACKED BY PERK TRIOTIC CITI-AT HE IS TO THE PENT County Clerk Edwards acting as regime, but Monher had been re-appointment, a list of names was summoned by his office Monwer to charges against him. Failes to the satisfurther blanks make one more effort to prevent a fair election." This means, then, that Messrs. Adams, Duckworth, Parmentier, Ames, Jessurun and Crawford, the committeemen who demanded the retirement of Kohlenberger, are members of the "booze and boodle gang." The insinuation that County Clerk Edwards was a party to the efforts of the "booze and boodle gang" to defeat the will of the people by returning a short registration here was an unprovoked insult, but it will not injure the county clerk. Mr. Edwards' reputation is too firmly established in Orange county to be shaken by anything the dinky little Plain Dealer can say. Mr. Edwards states that in making his selections he appointed, as nearly as possible, the clerks who had served on former occasions because they were familiar with the work, and because they had the reputation of doing their work thoroughly and returning as complete a registration as it was possible to make. A week after the quota had been filled Kohlenberger applied for the appointment. As the required number had already been appointed he hesitated about deputizing him, but as he was backed by a number of citizens Mr. Edwards was advised to put him on the list. The clerk knew nothing and cared nothing about a factional fight in Anaheim, and he certainly was not cognizant of Kohlenberger's reputed sympathies with the kaiser in the war between the PIONEER CITIZEN PASSES TO THE BEYOND MRS.

WE'RE IN THE ARMY·NOW A former Anaheimer, who is now in one of the camps, sends us the following "pome." Some of the soldier boys, it appears, are unable to give full expression to their sentiments in prose, consequently they occasionally drop into poetry: Mrs. Catharine Backs, wife of Joseph Backs, who died at her residence on Nokth Lemon street early Friday morning. She was one of the near ploneers of this city, and during her long residence here made a wide circle of friends who sincerely grieve over her death. Mrs. Backs was the daughter of Dr. A. F. Heyermann who, in the early days, conducted a sanitarium at San Francisco. The institution proving unprofitable he disposed of it and moved to Mexico. His daughter, Catharine, was born at Guaymas, Mexico on April 1, 1854 and in 1862 the doctor and his family made the trip overland to Anaheim. Hostile Indians infested the country at that time and the trip was an exciting and dangerous one, but they succeeded in getting through and landed safely in the Mother Colony. Catharine was eight years old at that time, and Anaheim was only an oasis in a trackless desert. Dr. Heyermann and family remained here until 1873 when they moved to Petaluma, but after a year's residence there returned to their old home in San Francisco. Here on February 21, 1875, Miss Catharine was married to Joseph Backs, who was then one of Anaheim's young business men. This city has been their home for the past 43 years. Mrs. Backs is survived by her husband, seven children and a brother and sister. The children are Joseph M. Backs of Santa Ana, deputy county clerk, Mrs. Sophie Stock, widow of the late Herman Stock, Mrs. Kate Nicholas, wife of Pierre Nicholas of Fullerton, Mrs. Frieda Vail, wife of A. V. Vall of Fullerton, Adolph J. Backs, Miss Clementina Backs and Edward P. Backs of this city. The brother is Charles Heyermann of San Francisco and Mrs. Sophie Miller of Millbrae, Calif. Funeral was held at Backs & Terry's chapel at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, with a later service at St. Boniface church, Father F. J. Dubbel being celebrant, Father Gallagher of Fullerton deacon and Father Morr's of Pasadena sub-deacon. The pall bearers were Fred Rimpau, C. F. Grim. Samuel Kraemer, Louis Denni, Peter Syre and J. S. Sheriden. A long procession of friends followed the remains to the last resting place in the Anaheim cemetery. CALLED FOR EXAMINATION The following boys have been called by the local board for physical examination Saturday: WE'RE IN THE ARMY·NOW A former Anaheimmer, who is now in one of the camps, sends us the following "pome." Some of the soldier boys, it appears, are unable to give full expression to their sentiments in prose, consequently they occasionally drop into poetry: No more ham and eggs or grapefruit. When the bugle blows for "chow." No more apple pie or dumplings, For we're in the army now. And they feed us beans for breakfast, And for lunch we have 'em too, And at night they fill our "tummies" With good old army stew. No more fizzes, beers or highballs, When we've got an awful thirst; If you're thinking of enlisting, Better get used to water first. For the lid's on tight all over And the drilling makes us warm, But we can't cool off with "licker" Cause we wear the uniform. No more shirts or silks or linen, We all wear the O. D. stuff; No more nightshirts or pajamas, For our pants are good enough. No more feather-ticks or pillows, But we're glad to thank the Lord That we've got a cot and blankets When we might have just a board. For they feed us beans for breakfast, And at noon we have 'em too; And at night they fill our "tummies" With good old army stew. But, by jinks, we'll lick the Kaiser, When the sergeants teach us how; For, hang him, he's the reason That we're in the army now. Fullerton deacon and Father Morr's of Pasadena sub-deacon.

Dainty refreshments were served at the close of the game. Talk about the high cost of living! Last year a wagon load of garbage in Los Angeles was quoted at $1.35. The price now quoted is $18.50!
