STORE LOCAL NOTES Mrs. Ella D. Williams and Mrs. B. J. Brown have received notice of the death of their only brother, Calvin Dyer of Seattle, Washington. G. M. Simpson, accompanied by his little grand-daughter and J. B. Gregg of Denver, left Sunday for Kingman, Arizona, to inspect mining property. Mrs. Simpson, who has been visiting at Kingman, will return with them. Judge J. S. Howard and City Marshal Kellenberger are in receipt of blanks for the registration of men who are willing to work in the government shipyards. Mechanics, artisans, skilled laborers of all kinds are needed. Registrants will be placed on the list prepared to respond whenever they are called. The police are looking for a man about 30 years old, wearing a dark suit of clothes, who upon several occasions has committed indecent acts before children. A Mexican was recently sentenced to six months in the county jail for a similar offense. This latest offender is no doubt a moral pervert and the officers are determined to catch him. Sunday afternoon while the ball game was going on and Citron street was crowded with parked autos, a young fellow driving a Ford touring car came tearing down the narrow street at high speed. Deputy Marshal Baxter called to him to stop, but the young man only weat the faster. Baxter got his number, however, and looking up the directory, learned the man's name to be Muller and that he lived at Orange. Monday Baxter went after him. He was fined $10 for speeding. Fred Minyard, driver of the fire truck, was off duty a couple of days last week, his place being taken by Jake Vetter. Slim Love, pitcher for the New York Americans, was rooting for the home team at the high school grounds Sunday. During the vacation months Slim is patriotically doing his bit by helping the government build ships at the harbor. He thinks our Walter Johnson is the greatest baseball pitcher the world ever produced. There is a lively passage of legal arms in sight over the place for the trial of an action in which J. L. Stevenson of Placentia is suing Camillo Marzo of San Francisco for $6300. Stevenson organized the Placentia Canning company, and asserts he has a contract by which Marzo was to deliver to him some stock in the concern. Friday morning Attorney T. L. McFadden of Placentia made a fight against a motion of the defendant for transferring the case to San Francisco. McFadden will go to San Francisco and make a fight there to have the case sent back here on the ground that practically all of the witnesses live here. H. D. Polhemus, electrician for the Union Oil company, has been sent to the Ventura district of the company to wire a number of derricks for electricity. Mr. Polhemus will make the trip by automobile and will be in the northern field a number of days. During the absence of Mr. Polhemus in the north, James Till will run down the "juice" troubles in the local field for the Union. The other evening when J. W. Sackett, accompanied by his wife, was driving home in his jitney, and when just a short distance from his residence on Lincoln avenue, the car came to a sudden stop. Mr. Sackett got out bars during the following shirts, 27 pairs socks, 63 sweats, pairs wristlets, lows. Attorney H. E. E. Balcom petition for the client as admin of John W.

By one of these Samuel Kraemer leases 560 acres the Standard Oil and by the other Jose H., Loranda J., Ramona, Teresa and Sofia Cejar and Beatrice V. de Soto lease a large acreage to the Standard Oil. Lease is for twenty-five years. In each lease the Standard agrees that it will begin drilling for oil within two years or within ninety days after oil is struck upon property belonging to Mrs. Rosa Yorba Locke. Mrs. Locke's property lies between the Kraemer and the Vejar tracts. One-eighth of the oil produced is to be paid as royalty. Mrs. William Falkenstein entertained the Ladies' Euchre club at her home on Broadway Thursday afternoon. First prize in the games was won by Mrs. F. A. Backs, second by Mrs. G. W. Hamler and third by Mrs. Frank Shanley. Thursday was St. Valentine's day, consequently the decorations of the rooms was in keeping with the season. Mrs. Sprague and daughter Ruth, of Visalla, have been visiting with Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Schindler. The other evening when J. W. Sackett, accompanied by his wife, was driving home in his jitney, and when just a short distance from his residence on Lincoln avenue, the car came to a sudden stop. Mr. Sackett got out and made an examination. He found plenty of gasoline in the tank, the carburetter in good working order, all the minor mechanical parts were intact, and in fact the "Tin Lizzie" looked in fine racing form, but she balked for some reason. Sackett was greatly vexed. He had ridden bronces on the northwest ranges for years and had many hair-raising experiences, but this latest got his nanny. For the life of him he couldn't get the pesky thing to go. It was getting late, so he decided to push the car by hand into the garage, just a short ways ahead. If he had handy a sledge hammer, no doubt he would have reduced the roadster to junk. That's the way he felt about it but being of a peaceful disposition he said not a word and leaving the car safely locked up, went into the house and later retired for the night. Next morning when ready to attend to his duties as street superintendent he went to the garage to again endeavor to get the machine under way. He gave the crank shaft one revolution and lo and behold the engine took the gas like a veteran and was ready for business. Sackett was surprised beyond expression, and hopping into the seat drove up town, saying to himself that a Ford is not a bad car after all.

Burkhart entertained Heinie Schneider of Santa Ana at dinner Sunday. Business houses of almost every description will be closed tomorrow in honor of George Washington. At the next meeting of the Anaheim Elks, Feby. 27, the entertainment committee has arranged for one of their famous shows. A large attendance is expected. Forty people joined the excursion party Sunday afternoon and witnessed the Mission Play at San Gabriel. They report that this spectacular reproduction of the days of the padres is well worth the trip. The city has been offered 17 cents a pound for brass and 20 cents for copper. At the power house a lot of old material accumulates and is classed as junk. The prices quoted are very good and the engineer has been instructed to sell all material now unused at the plant. On the 10th of very month Anaheim chapter of the American Red Cross, ship to headquarters at San Francisco the articles manufactured by the members during the preceding thirty days. On February 10th four cases containing the following were shipped: 55 bed shirts, 27 pairs pajamas, 101 pairs socks, 63 sweaters, 20 mufflers, 24 pairs wristlets, and 97 ambulance pillows. Attorney H. C. Head, representing E. E. Balcom, Fullerton, has filed a petition for the appointment of his client as administrator of the estate Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Van Patten entertained a number of relatives from Santa Ana Sunday. Chillle Fisher, Len Bonnat and E. P. De la Hunt were enjoying the mountain scenery in Fish canyon Sunday. Fred Gresswell went over to San Bernardino Monday to assist in decorating the Orange county display of fruits at the National Orange Show. Walter Mickel has sold his ranch in the west section to Frank Baum. He still retains his Garden Grove ranch. Mr. Michel contemplates taking a trip in the near future and will later return to this city to reside. Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Noll were host and hostess to a number of La Cross, Wisconsin, friends Sunday. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. E. Mueller and daughter, Meta, and Mr. and Mrs. Ives and daughter, Gertrude. These people from the frosty north came to Southern California to spend the winter. Fullerton merchants have agreed to close all business houses at nine o'clock on Saturday nights. This is a move that might be imitated by Anaheim business men with satisfactory results. Customers could soon adjust themselves to the new arrangement. Nobody would lose business and nobody be inconvenienced by the new arrangement. Mrs. M. C. Goff was hostess to the Wednesday afternoon club last week, colors indicative of St. Valentine's day being used in the decorations. Miss Annie Ryan was the champion at cards, carrying off the prize. Born, on Thursday, February 14, to Mr. and Mrs. Alex Morales, a daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Hill were visiting in Los Angeles Friday. Mrs. I. Asher and son Alvin, of El Monte, and Mrs. Charles Schmidt of Alhambra, were visiting at the Falkenstein home last week. Mrs. Warren Clever of Fullerton, who has been visiting relatives in Humeston, Ia., for several months, returned on Sunday. The membership committee of the board of trade made a canvass for new members last week and quife a number of names were added to the list. As the dues in this Anaheim booster society are only fifty cents per month, every man in the city and its vicinity should belong to it. A member is not compelled to attend the meetings or devote any of his time to it, but the small sum he would pay in dues would help considerably toward paying necessary expenses. The police made a raid Saturday night upon a place on Santa Ana street, where a lot of Mexicans were holding a ballet, and as a side issue were imbibing a lot of dago red. As is usually the case a fight ensued. The police rounded up a bunch of the bad hombres and placed them in cold storage. One of the men during the evening devoted himself to the pastime of beating his wife, who became too frivolous as the frolie progressed. The recorder on Monday morning adjudicated the cases with his usual neatness and dispatch. As Bud Sackett was just about to cross the intersection at Center and Los Angeles streets with his big street sweeper early the other morning, Attorney H. C. Head, representing E. E. Balcom, Fullerton, has filed a petition for the appointment of his client as administrator of the estate of John W. Morgan, who died at Fullerton January 25, leaving an estate valued at $9950. Under the will the property goes to the widow and eight children. City Clerk Merritt is very much pleased with his new office in the Masonic Temple. He occupies rooms upstairs in the southwest corner, affording plenty of light and is ideally equipped for office work. Besides a fine panoramic view is had of Center street, and during busy days in town the street presents a metropolitan appearance. Patrons of the office freely comment upon this fact, which alone is a good advertisement for the town. Mr. Merrett when not busily engaged in his clerical work looks out of the window and imagines himself in a big city, and doesn't have to dodge falling chunks of plaster. Mrs. Pearson and family of Fresno, were in town last week, looking over the town preparatory to purchasing a home. Mrs. Pearson had been attracted to Anaheim by literature sent out by the board of trade. A gentleman from Arizona, accompanied by members of his family, was also making enquiries of Secretary Whitaker for a suitable place for a permanent home. This gentleman would prefer a ranch property as he wants to have something to look after that will keep him reasonably busy. Eugene Allec of Placentia was transacting business in town Friday. Eugene is setting his house in order preparatory to answering the call to the colors. He expects to leave shortly for Camp Lewis and eventually for his native country, France, where he intends to fight until the last kaiserite is driven back onto his own soil. He is disposing of his effects, among other things being a fine team of work horses which, he says, some reader of the Gazette may purchase at a bargain as he would rather sell the Nobody would lose business and nobody be inconvenienced by the new arrangement. Mrs. M. C. Goff was hostess to the Wednesday afternoon club last week, colors indicative of St. Valentine's day being used in the decorations. Miss Annie Ryan was the champion at cards, carrying off the prize. F. W. Lee who, some weeks ago was stricken with paralysis, died at his home in Lankershelm Sunday evening. The remains were brought to this city the funeral being held Tuesday afternoon at Backs & Terry's chapel, Rev. Hunt of Lankershelm officiating. Mr. Lee was a former resident of Anaheim, but for some years past has been in business at Lankershelm. He was a member of the Masonic lodge here, and had a large circle of friends. He leaves a wife and daughter. Secretary Metzgar of the chamber of commerce of Santa Ana has received a telegram from the manager of the Cubs asking whether or not Santa Ana would like to play an exhibition game on either Saturday or Sunday, March 23 or 24, with the second team. Said telegram recalls the game last year which resulted in disaster for the Windy City men. This year's second team will contain considerable material not in evidence last year. It has not been decided whether or not to schedule the game, but it is likely that Saturday may be reserved for a time until the matter can be discussed. With his nose, finger, arm and other parts of his anatomy as evidence H. E. Manatt, who has a barber shop in Santa Ana, has secured a warrant for the arrest of John F. Richards, well known man at Orange. The complaint charges Richards with a felony, mayhem, and it alleges that on January 16 he slit and mutilated Manatt's nose, arm, finger and other portions of Manatt's body. Deputy District Attorney Menton handled the complaint after he had heard Manatt's statement. The fracas in which Manatt says he was bitten by Richards occurred on the pavement of the state highway near the county hospital late at night on January 16. Manatt said that a piece of his nose was almost bitten off. Mr. Richards states that as a result of the encounter he was confined in the Anaheim sanitarium. As Bud Sackett was just about to cross the intersection at Center and Los Angeles streets with his big street sweeper early the other morning, a touring car going south came within an ace of bumping into him. The driver had a good brake, but as it was burnt up quite a stretch of pavement in bringing his car to a standstill to avoid a collision. Sackett also stopped on short notice, but clearly had the right of way. When Bud started up again to resume his duties, he called loudly to the other driver, saying "If you would come up to these crossings at 10 miles an hour, you guys wouldn't have to do that." Meaning that the reckless driver wouldn't scorch his tires, Many accidents are caused by making crossings at high speed and it would appear that these speed maniacs would acquire a bit of no-sec sense once in a while. According to a letter received by George Hatfield from his brother, Floyd, the sergeant is now probably on the bounding billows bound for Bordeaux, or some other French port. He was at Camp Hancock, Augusta, Georgia, but the best guess the troops could make was that they would shortly leave for the other side. His next letter will most likely be from somewhere in France. The Anaheim band has recently added three expert musicians to its roll. They are Dr. J. T. Brastad, who plays the saxophone and Messrs Clark and Bethwick, both formerly of Brea. Clark plays the trombone and Bethwick the bass drum. Frank Tausch says some other new men are on the string who will shortly join. Orange County Day at the San Bernardino Orange Show will be celebrated Friday, Feb. 22. It is expected that hundreds of people from this county will take advantage of the holiday and visit the big display at the annual San Bernardino classic. Orange county is making plans to boost at the special celebration by distributing Orange county advertising buttons. 2000 of these little boosters have been ordered and it is ex- Fifteen high school boys and a member of Orange faculty bared their arms Saturday morning for a skin grafting operation in behalf of a comrade, Virgil Pritchard, whose leg was badly torn in a recent accident when his motorcycle was struck by an automobile. The operation took place at the Anaheim sanitarium, where Pritchard has been for several weeks. The job occupied about half an hour, a piece of skin three-fourths of an inch square being removed from the arm of each. The volunteers for the "graft" were George F. Stoner of the faculty, and Lawrence Phillips, Glenn Potter, Orvin Davey, Ruel Davis, Richard Sweet, Robert Campbell, Roy Edwards, Albert Penson, Walter Loescher, Wayne McCollum, William Cook, Bronson Barber, Clarence Pefley, Tomer Anderson and Norval Moore. J. B. Neff reports an inch and eighteen hundredths of water in his gauge Monday morning as a result of the previous night's storm. Another small shower fell Tuesday evening. Raymond Nebelung was a business visitor in Los Angeles Saturday. Captain J. B. Root, who left here nearly a year ago on a visit to his old home in North Dakota and a trip to the east, returned home last week and, to the surprise of his many friends, was accompanied by a wife. The lady was formerly Mrs. Katharine Barnes, and the couple were married at Seattle on Thursday, February 7. Saturday evening nearly forty Dakota friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Craft where they were staying, and extended a hearty welcome to the captain and his bride. An enjoyable evening was spent by the merry party relating reminiscences of former years in the old home. The newly-married couple will take up their residence at the groom's home on Helena street. Lieut. Ernest Clabaugh writes from France to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Clabaugh, that he is now attached to censor headquarters. He is a lieutenant in the engineer corps. Orange County Day at the San Bernardino Orange Show will be celebrated Friday, Feb. 22. It is expected that hundreds of people from this county will take advantage of the holiday and visit the big display at the annual San Bernardino classic. Orange county is making plans to boost at the special celebration by distributing Orange county advertising buttons. 2000 of these little boosters have been ordered and it is expected that they will do much to create a favorable impression of "Nature's prolific wonderland." Mrs. M. J. Barmes came in recently from Indiana on a visit to her son, E. R. Barmes and family. COST OF DRAFTING MEN Statistics of the first draft, compiled in the office of the provost marshal-general show that the cost of the draft per man accepted for service was $5. Of this sum, $4.93 represented the expense of the draft boards and state Adjutant-generals offices, and seven cents the overhead expense of the provost marshal-general's office in Washington. This per capita cost of raising an army under the selective service act compares very favorably with the cost of recruiting by voluntary enlistment. The records of the adjutant-general show that the per capita cost of recruiting in the year 1914 was $24.48; in 1915, $19.14; in the first nine months of the fiscal year 1917—July 1916 to April 1917 inclusive—$28.95 To make the comparison fair to the recruiting system; the expense of travel paid between recruiting sta- Each Month More Women Wear Gossards Because Gossard Corsets do so much for the wearer in addition to improving the figure.

Making plans to special celebration by large county advertisement of these little boost-ordered and it is ex- tion and recruiting depot, the cost of subsistence prior to acceptance at the latter, the expenses at general recruiting depots and the cost of clothing should be deducted. But, with due allowance for these items, the marked economy of the selective service system is apparent. A comparison with the cost of raising the army for the civil war is also strikingly favorable. Prior to the enactment of the draft law of 1863, the cost of recruiting was $34.01 per man. Subsequent to the passage of the act, the cost was $9.84 per man. But only a small proportion of the men produced after the enactment of the law were drafted. It is impossible to ascertain the cost per drafted man against the cost per volunteer. It is clear, however, especially if the lower money values of those days are considered, that the per capita cost of drafting men for the civil war was far higher than the cost of the first call under the present law. The remarkably good showing under the present law is due in large measure to the patriotic and self-sacrificing attitude of members of the draft boards. Thousands of these men, regardless of personal and business interests, worked day after day throughout the hot months of the summer, without any remuneration whatever. This was a part of their contribution to the war. In the several states the cost ranged widely. In Oklahoma it was only $1.57; in Deleware, $19.00. This does not necessarily mean, however, that the boards in states showing high cost were extravagant. A large part of the expenses were proportionate to the number of registrants in a given area; that is, a board having five or six thousand registrants necessarily incurred larger expenses than a board having five or six hundred registrants, no matter how many men were called or were certified. Similarly, the expense of calling men for physical examinations and for hearing on claims was a large item regardless of the total number of men ultimately certified; for example, in a board having claims was a necessary expense, although none of the allens might be certified; thus, two boards which certified for service 300 men apiece, might have called and examined 1000 and 500 men, respectively, in order to produce the same number of certified men.
