SCHOOLS UNITE IN PATRIOTIC DISPLAY FIFTEEN HUNDRED PUPILS OF ELEVEN SCHOOLS MARCH IN LIBERTY LOAN DEMONSTRATION MUSIC, SONGS AND SPEECHES ENTERTAIN A VAST AUDIENCE FRIDAY AFTERNOON Marching under a wilderness of fluttering flags, costumed and decorated with patriotic colors, and bearing aloft banners boosting the Liberty bonds, 1500 school children, ranging in age from the kindergarten size to the full grown high school senior, paraded through the streets of Anaheim Friday afternoon in a patriotic demonstration. Eleven schools were in line, with the infants from the Broadway kindergarten in the van, the rear of the long procession being brought down house merely because she dared attempt to defend herself and her belongings from the clutches of the kaiser’s soldiers. He told of seeing two small Belgian children each with a hand cut off because they had failed to obey an order from a German officer promptly enough to suit him. The officer himself chopped off the hands, remarking as he did so, "The kaiser’s word is supreme, and everybody must instantly obey his officers’ commands." Sergeant Sayre made an eloquent appeal to the people to strain every resource to save themselves from the domination of such a monstrous and inhuman government. R. L. Bisby, chairman of the Orange county Liberty loan committee, was the last speaker. Mr. Bisby talked principally on the progress of the drive in the county, stating that on Thursday night ten towns reported already over the top. Satisfactory progress was being made in every section of the county and every community would undoubtedly subscribe its quota. Mr. Bisby is an able orator, and he paid his respects to the enemy in language that brought enthusiastic applause. He is devoting his entire time to the cause, being head of the county campaign, and keeps in touch with all the committees. The returns up to that day were very gratifying he declared, but much work was yet necessary.

Marching under a wilderness of fluttering flags, costumed and decorated with patriotic colors, and bearing aloft banners boosting the Liberty bonds, 1600 school children, ranging in age from the kindergarten size to the full grown high school senior, paraded through the streets of Anaheim Friday afternoon in a patriotic demonstration. Eleven schools were in line, with the infants from the Broadway kindergarten in the van, the rear of the long procession being brought up by two companies of the uniformed high school cadets. Scores of artistically decorated autos were in line, carrying parent teachers' associations, Junior Red Cross societies, school officials and citizens. The affair was in charge of Prof. J. L. Van der Veer, who arranged the program and was responsible for the splendid showing made by the young Americans. Chief of Police Kellenberger was marshal of the day and led the procession, followed by the Anaheim band, after which came the schools in five divisions. The procession was formed at 2 o'clock at the corner of Lemon and Broadway. The first division was composed of the Broadway school, Central school and Lutheran school. Second division was the parent teachers' associations in decorated autos. St. Joseph's, St. Catherines', Fremont school, Boy Scouts and high school girls formed the third division. Savannah, Katella, Loara and Magnolia schools formed the fourth division, while the fifth was composed of high school cadets. The John J. Pershing club of Magnolia, carried a banner which announced that the club had subscribed $305 to the cause. A short but interesting program was rendered out on the vacant block at the corner of Emily and Center streets. It consisted of singing, declamation and drill, after which the large crowd was entertained by speakers. The high school cadets, under command of Major Malcolm maneuvered like a company of trained soldiers for several minutes, and were loudly cheered by the thousands who witnessed the drill. While the band played "Over There" the high school girls sang "Over Here," which some local poet had constructed for them. The small kidlets from Broadway school sang "Soldier boys," Central school sang "Oh, Bring Me the Fife, Bring Me the Drum," while the Fremont pupils rendered two songs, "We're One for Uncle Sam," and "America, My Country." Miss Fay Kern, who press was being made in every section of the county and every community would undoubtedly subscribe its quota. Mr. Bisby is an able orator, and he paid his respects to the enemy in language that brought enthusiastic applause. He is devoting his entire time to the cause, being head of the county campaign, and keeps in touch with all the committees. The returns up to that day were very gratifying he declared, but much work was yet necessary. All the business houses in the city were closed from 2 to 4 o'clock. The streets were crowded with people and automobiles, and each unit was generously applauded all along the line of march. It was a pageant worthy of approbation, some of the decorations being artistic. The showing made by the Katella and Loara schools was especially good. RED CROSS CONCERT AT H. S. AUDITORIUM De Lano's Hawaiian Sextette Will Give an Entertainment Friday Evening Anaheim chapter of the Red Cross is making preparations for a high class entertainment at the high school auditorium on Friday evening, April 19. De Lano's Hawaiian Sextette with a banjo quartette, has been engaged. These musicians were here two years ago as one of the Lyceum attractions and made such a hit that they will undoubtedly draw a big house. In addition to the Hawaiian's other numbers will be on the program, including a reading by Miss Fay Kern and a vocal solo by Thomas Askin. Tickets will be 50 and 25 cents. All the proceeds are for the benefit of the Red Cross, consequently all who purchase tickets will not only get more than their money's worth in entertainment, but will have the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping provide comforts for our boys "over there."

He has been in the electrical engineer branch of the service, stationed at Camp Robert E. Lee, Petersburg, Va. He writes as follows: "Just a hurried line to let you know I have been discharged from the army so that I can accept a commission as second lieutenant in the engineers, starting May 1. I will dray $141 per month. We are turned loose from here about the 15th of this month, until we get our assignments to organizations. Where I will be sent no one knows yet. I have to stand all my own expenses now except transportation while under orders, and I have figured that it would cost me not less than $5 per day to stay here. I wouldn't have time to come home before I hear from the war department, so I will visit J. Rodenseller in Blissfield, Mich. I figure it would cost me less to make that trip than to stay here as hotel accommodations are hard to get and expensive. I will have a week in Blissfield, while if I should go to California I would hardly have time to make the trip. "I signed my discharge and will take the oath as a lieutenant some time this week." Mrs. Harry Felling and Mrs. C. L. Head paid a visit to Ontario Friday. Mr. Bishop denounces tones the efforts who are endeavoring among the working of the great ship yards dated by this nation.

AHEIM GAZETE Anaheim, California, Thursday, April 18, 1918 IMPULSE FROM HEART OF TRUE AMERICAN CLYDE BISHOP'S PATRIOTIC ELOQUENCE TINGLES THE BLOOD OF HIS AUDI-TORS SCATHINGLY REBUKES THE MAN WHO FALSIFIES TO EVADE THE SELECTIVE DRAFT Epitomizing his address under the caption of "Service," Clyde Bishop divided his speech at the business men's luncheon Thursday into three integral parts. The first of which he said was the all important Liberty loan drive, to furnish the sinews of war; the second, the purity of the selective draft law, and the third being the patriotic duty of every citizen to remain loyal to his fellow man and to his country. Mr. Bishop thrilled his auditors with his eloquence and patriotic utterances, and during his le among the ranks of the laboring men. Mr. Bishop's masterful address inspired his auditors to a marked degree and at times when he eloquently referred to the patriotic duties which are now expected from all of us, the large audience gave him vociferous applause. Mr. Bishop spoke from impulses that came from the heart of a true American and his words had a meaning that time will not efface. DWYER ELECTED PRESIDENT OF CITY TRUSTEES RETIRING BOARD CANVASSES ELECTION RETURNS AND ADJOURNS SINE DIE NEWLY ELECTED TRUSTEES TAKE OATH OF OFFICE AND ORGANIZE—MEET ... APRIL 25 OUT WITH THE OLD, ON WITH THE NEW OLD BOARD OF TRUSTEES TURN REINS OF GOVERNMENT OVER TO SUCCESSORS BIENNIAL CHANGE IN PERSONNEL OF CITY'S GOVERNING OFFICIALS The old board of trustees met in regular session Thursday evening for the last time, and met again Monday evening in special session to canvass the vote of the recent municipal election, which terminated their labors, prior to turning over the reins of government to the new incoming board of trustees. The new board were inducted into office. They will hold their initial regular session on Thursday, May 25th. Messrs. John Cook, Julius Schneider and John Brunworth, the retiring members, have given the city an administration of its affairs to the best of their ability, and turn over building hall's co-air fair that future, accepting brought with a really emph such act. But T-Stark to matter as being inscribed Mr. Klatt the city, out $600 ing the own service. Mr. Perception house on Southern Angeles board as have a track at operating would no request cation is packing needed for tofore ther were all of business insertia Epitomizing his address under the caption of "Service," Clyde Bishop divided his speech at the business men's luncheon Thursday into three integral parts. The first of which he said was the all important Liberty loan drive, to furnish the slaves of war; the second, the purity of the selective draft law, and the third being the patriotic duty of every citizen to remain loyal to his fellow man and to his country. Mr. Bishop thrilled his auditors with his eloquence and patriotic utterances, and during his masterful address was frequently interrupted with applause. Passing briefly over the buying of Liberty bonds, which he said, he felt well aware was in competent hands in this city, the speaker scathingly rebuked the efforts of some persons who are seeking, by false affidavit, to assist eligible men from serving their country through the selective draft. Individual patriotism is going to win this war and the man who tries to shirk his duty now is a slacker of the vilest sort, Mr. Bishop declared. The selective draft is a fundamental law, and the son of the rich and powerful man must serve his country alike with the boy of the poor man. There is no dividing line between them. Many brave young men have already responded to the nation's call and are imbued with the thought that they are going to win no matter what the sacrifice might be. They are loyal—they fear nothing. Those eligible, who through false representations, seek to evade the draft are contemptible and should be held up to public scorn. But it is very important that the humble citizen—both men and women—who stay at home, must so arrange the nation's affairs with their sacrifices and financial assistance in order that the gallant defenders may be spared to battle over there for the perpetuation of our government of free men. The conservation of food is paramount, the speaker said, and people must not waste a single particle. Food in great measure, will serve to help win the war. And men of means must bring forth their gold to help the nation in this, the greatest crisis of all times. The man who is financially able to buy Liberty bonds and does not do so, is no less a slacker than the individual who seeks to evade the draft through falsehood and the connivance of ill-advised friends. Those autocratic war lords across the sea, who are attempting to throttle the government of freedom, might as well try, the speaker said, to shove evening in special session to canvass the vote of the recent municipal election, which terminated their labors, prior to turning over the reins of government to the new incoming board of trustees. The new board were inducted into office. They will hold their initial regular session on Thursday, May 25th. Messrs. John Cook, Julius Schneider and John Brunworth, the retiring members, have given the city administration of its affairs to the best of their ability, and turn over the city government in good shape to their successors. All these gentlemen have taken an active part in the upbuilding of this city, each one of them being possessed of large realty interests here. They have many friends who declare their stewardship has been well rendered and have been instrumental in giving Anaheim a good business administration. There were present Mayor Schneider, Trustees Stark, Cook and Dwyer. Absent Trustee Brunworth. The following reports were received and filed: Marshal's Report: Collected for license ... $1257 Rate Collector's Report: Collected for light ... $2758.90 Collected for water ... 1315.50 Total ... $4074.40 Delinquents Collected: For light ... $135.70 For water ... 145.65 Penalties ... 15.85 $297.70 Delinquents Reported: Light ... $165.25 Water ... 108.00 Total ... $273.25 Treasurer's Report: General fund, April 10.$19,668.03 Liberty bonds ... 10,500.00 The recorder reported 10 cases in court and fines amounting to $60 collected.

Trustee Dwyer of the finance committee reported auditing bills against the city in the sum of $7122.88, leaving a balance in the geenral fund of $12,000. Checks in the amount of $50 each were ordered returned to C. Annin, L.P. Smith, Mr. Adams and Doc McFarlane.

And men of means must bring forth their gold to help the nation in this, the greatest crisis of all times. The man who is financially able to buy Liberty bonds and does not do so, is no less a slacker than the individual who seeks to evade the draft through falshood and the connivance of ill-advised friends. Those autocratic war lords across the sea, who are attempting to throttle the government of freedom, might as well try, the speaker said, to shove back the oak into the acorn. Theirs is a fruitless and traitorous task, as the cause of liberty and freedom matched against tyranny and injustice will prevail. Mr. Bishop denounced in no uncertain tones the efforts of some men who are endeavoring to foment trouble among the working men employed at the great ship yards now being operated by this nation. They are doubly dyed villains and should be severely dealt with by those in authority. The speaker said he did not approve in any way the methods of mob law, and did not countenance for one minute, the individual taking the law in his own hands to wreck retribution upon the man accused of disloyalty. Wherever it is known that a person makes seditious remarks or perpetrate disloyal deeds, it is the duty of every true citizen to at once report that person to the proper federal authorities and have the accused punished. Mr. Bishop said it may come to pass that labor will be conscripted, because no man has a right to refuse to give his services to help build ships and munitions of war, any more than a soldier has a right to disobey the orders of his superior officer. These agitators are treading upon dangerous ground, and it is not unlikely that labor will be conscripted should these individuals persist in fomenting troub C. W. Osborne, the new agent for the American Fruit Distributors of California, is located at the packing-house on Spadra road adjoining the Santa Fe railroad at Fullerton. Mr. Osborne succeeds A. Kohner, who was the agent there for two years and during the walnut season last fall, and he is prepared for a big season's business. Charley is well known in this vicinity, having been identified with the fruit business for years. The American Fruit Distributors handle citrus fruits, cantaloupes, walnuts and vegetables and look upon Fullerton as an excellent field in which to operate. Electrician reported collection of $13.30. Trustee Dwyer of the finance committee reported auditing bills against the city in the sum of $7122.88, leaving a balance in the general fund of $12,000. Checks in the amount of $50 each were ordered returned to C. Annin, L.P. Smith, Mr. Adams and Doc McFarlane. The same had been deposited as security for the safe removal of buildings within the city. A contract was received from the attorney, wherein J. T. Johnson receives water for domestic purposes. Mr. Rasmussen was voted a refund of $90, the same being an overcharge during the past year for electric energy. The overcharge was occasioned by more water and power being used on account of excess load on transformer. Mr. Steward reported that Messrs. Sawdey, Hatfield and Gunther had agreed to accept city terms relative to opening West Cypress street. Side walks and curbing are to be laid. Trustee Stark moved to accept and the engineer was ordered to proceed. Theo. C. Kistner, architect, asked that the board accept his plans as being satisfactory, as prepared for a new city hall. As Mr. Kistner had been employed in good faith to prepare the plans Trustees Stark, Cook and Schnelder voted in favor of the motion. Trustee Dwyer voted in the negative. The board is not in duty bound to accept the plans for building purposes, however. When Mr. Kistner asked that his plans be accepted by the board as being satisfactory, Trustee Dwyer argued against such action being taken, saying that he was of opinion that the plans had been furnished contingent upon the plans being used for WITH THE WITH NEW STEES TURN MENT OVER SORS IN PERSONNEL VERNING ALS tees met in regy evening for again Monday vision to canvass municipal eleced their labors, the reins of govncoming board board were inthey will hold session on Thursurs. John Cook, John Brunworth, have given the of its affairs to and turn over building purposes. Since the new hall's construction seems to be an affair that might occur in the remote future, Trustee Dwyer was averse to accepting the plans in any form, and brought his fist down upon the table with a resounding whack to more fully emphasize his argument against such action. But Trustees Schneider, Cook and Stark took a different view of the matter and voted to accept the plans as being satisfactory, and it was so inscribed on the minutes. It is said Mr. Klistner has a valid claim against the city. Klistner says he had paid out $500 for draughtsmen in preparing the plans, to say nothing of his own services as architect. Mr. Pepper who has in view the erection of a new Valencia packing house on the vacant lot east of the Southern Pacific depot on South Los Angeles street, appeared before the board asking if it were possible to have a team track along the railroad, track at that point abandoned. The operating department of the railroad would not agree to grant Mr. Pepper's request owing to red tape. The location is an ideal one for an orange packing house, but a side track is needed for shipping purposes. Herefore the different railroad companies were all anxious to go after this kind of business, but it is now said that insertia affects them. MAYDAY FESTIVAL SPECTACULAR AFFAIR SCHOOLS, CIVIC BODIES AND CITIZENS TO UNITE IN A PATRIOTIC DEMONSTRATION STREET PAGEANT TO BE FOLLOWED BY SPEAKING, MUSIC AND LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT Rumors have been rife for some time that a Mayday festival, surpassing anything of the kind heretofore attempted in Orange county, is being staged for Anaheim, but the facts and the particulars were not made public until Monday. Prof. J. L. Van der Veer, who so successfully engineered the school demonstration Friday, and J. F. Ahlborn, chairman of the publicity committee in the Liberty loan campaign, are the chief instigators and managers of the affair, but they are ably abetted and assisted by Chairman McCord and all the members of board asking if it were possible to have a team track along the railroad, track at that point abandoned. The operating department of the railroad would not agree to grant Mr. Pepper's request owing to red tape. The location is an ideal one for an orange packing house, but a side track is needed for shipping purposes. Herefore the different railroad companies were all anxious to go after this kind of business, but it is now said that inertia affects them. The matter was referred to Stark and Dwyer, who will interview railroad officials. Until some action is taken to overcome the team track feature, the operating department feel not inclined to take action in building additional spur trackage. The case seems to be one wherein if all parties interested arrived at some definite conclusion at one and the same time, Mr. Pepper would proceed to build his packing house. He intends to erect buildings costing $11,000 to be of the mission style. Last year the same structure could have been built for $7000. Material is skyrocketing, and will not come down again in the next ten years. F. H. Betz made application for city water on his place on East Broad street, but the request was denied. Mr. Steward was given authority to put in necessary equipment at the sewer farm in advance of letting the contract. The work will have to be done anyhow, and this order was given to hurry matters along as the city has only 100 days to finish the job, or the trustees may then face contempt of court proceedings. MRS. LAWTON NOMINATED FOR THE ASSEMBLY County Federation of Woman's Clubs Place Her in the Field Orange county has a woman in the field as a candidate for the assembly, and it is safe to say she will be solidly supported by all the woman's clubs of the county. At the annual convention of the Federated Woman's Clubs held at Yorba Linda last Thursday, Mrs. I. D. Mills made a neat little speech placing Mrs. A. J. Lawton of Santa Ana in nomination for the assembly. Mrs. Mills said: "I have watched the development of the woman movement for almost 50 years. Woman has gradually taken her place in many kingdoms and now the time has come when she sing anything of the kind heretofore attempted in Orange county, is being staged for Anaheim, but the facts and the particulars were not made public until Monday. Prof. J. L. Van der Veer, who so successfully engineered the school demonstration Friday, and J. F. Ahlborn, chairman of the publicity committee in the Liberty loan campaign, are the chief instigators and managers of the affair, but they are ably abetted and assisted by Chairman McCord and all the members of the general committee. Wednesday afternoon, May 1 is the date fixed upon, because upon that day the schools usually have a Mayday festival. The high school campus will be the neclus of the day's entertainment because the music, the speaking and the elocutionary exercises will be presented there, but the chief attraction is going to be the pageant on the streets in which all the city schools and many outside the city; all the lodges and societies, and a large portion of the patriotic citizens will take part. Beautiful floats, hundreds of gaily decorated autos, long lines of patriotically costumed school children and civic bodies will be in the parade. The affair is undertaken partly to instill the spirit of patriotism among the children, and to stimulate the popularity of thrift stamps, the two million dollar loan which the government is endeavoring to float largely amon; the youthful patriotis of America. Men and women famous in history for their heroic resistance to tyranny and oppression, will be impersonated and represented in the pageant. Oliver Cromwell, who freed England from the absolutism of Charles the First, and Joan of Arc, who drove the invading enemy from France and crowned the Dauphin at Rheims cathedral, that historic church which is now in ruins, are represented, and our own George Washington will be a conspicuous figure. The program has not yet been completed, but will be announced later. Speakers of note will be secured, and there will be musical and literary exercises by local and out of town artists. The colonnade of the high school building will be the stage, the audience assembling on the campus below. Arrangements have been made with the Pathe Motion Picture company to have the pageant filmed and shown on the screen. A representative of the company was here yesterday morning consulting with the committee. ANAHEIM BREAKS EVEN IN FRIDAY'S DEBATES Wins From Santa Paula but Loses to Alhambra It was an even break for the Anaheim high school in the debates Friday evening. In the contest with Santa Paula at the auditorium in this city the locals won the decision. The question was, "Resolved, that the State of California should have a single house legislature." Geraid Shiner and Arthur Bradley, the Anaheim debaters, took the affirmative and won a decision although their opponents put up an excellent argument. John Leavins and Merle McGinnis represented Santa Paula. But while Bradley and Shiner won at home, Alva Rogers and Miss Irma Mills were not so fortunate at Alhambra. The subject was the same, and the argument was ably put by the local debaters who are among the top-notchers in the Anaheim high school, but the Alhambras were a few points ahead in the opinion of the judges. C. J. Mauerhan was in town from the Standard lease a few days ago. Cooney has a job of tool dressing with the company and is getting along well.
