If you can't afford to buy one for Uncle Sam, buy one for yourself, and then buy some more, and buy them regularly. The money goes to the government, but the interest and the habit of saving go to the purchaser. And the saving habit is worth more than the money. What a wonderful thing it would be for the country if every family were a regular purchaser of thrift stamps. How much money that is now dribbled away uselessly would be piled up and put to a useful purpose if boys and girls should get the habit of saving for Uncle Sam and should continue it after the war for themselves. Benjamin Franklin said: "It is hard for an empty sack to stand upright." A boy or girl with a savings account is on the way to become a substantial citizen. The savings account may make possible an education. It may help tide a person over from the wrong job to the right one. It gives independence. Every family in Anaheim will do itself a good turn if it makes a start on Thrift Stamps today, or if it adds to the stock already on hand.

SANTA ANA CHAUTAUQUA A FINANCIAL FAILURE The recent Chautauqua held in Santa Ana was a financial failure, as sixty nine guarantors are realizing as they are being called upon to dig up $11 apiece to make good the shortage. Last years Chautauqua was a big success. There was a fund of over $500 realized over and above the purchase price of $2600 paid by the local guarantors for the Chautauqua. Its success was such that there was no difficulty in getting the contract for the 1918 Chautauqua signed up. Conditions have changed since the 1917 Chautauqua. At least, the attendance this year was so light that instead of making money, the Chautauqua went far behind. With calls being made by numerous war activities, the guarantors decided not to make a drive, by which they could have inveigled a goodly portion of the contract money from the public. They decided that if there was a deficit they would stand it, rather than make the drive. In addition to that, the program proved to be less enticing than last year's program. Some of the guarantors believed that they had a legitimate kick on the drawing power of the program as it developed there. Yesterday there was a conference with a representative of the Redpath-Horner Chautauqua people, and the representative gave a discount of $250, the Liberty bond purchased with last year's profit was turned in, and there remains something over $700 to be dug up by the guarantors.

The winners were Walter Loescher, Lawrence Phillips, Robert Richardson and Robert Kuechel, their subjects being in rotation, "The Passing of the German-American," "America, Make Good," "A Coward," and "Why We are Fighting Germany." The seniors and juniors gave their orations and essays in the First Baptist church, Santa Ana, and the sophomores and juniors at the Intermediate school.

Twombly, son of Prof. S. S. Twombly of Fullerton, and Raymond Smith, son of Al Smith of Fullerton had been killed in action in France. This report is probably untrue, as neither Mr. Twombly nor Mr. Smith have been notified by the government. The young men are members of the same battery of artillery, and have been in France for several months. Their many friends hereabout discredit the report, and they hope the boys are still in action with the American army. We believe the report is altogether untrue, and we are satisfied the young men are giving a good account of themselves at the front. Eva Payse and Lily Payse, with their cousin, newly arrived from New York with several gentlemen friends went up to Modjeska ranch last Sunday to picnic. On their way home late in the evening the chauffeur and the New York lady were so interested in the beautiful moonshine and scenery that the driver came too near the edge of the road and as quick as a flash the car jumped in an alfalfa patch. An automobile came along and took the party to a doctor in Orange. Excepting a few slight bruises there were no other casualties. They are all well and ready for another drive. The only liquid accompanying the party was a bottle of acid which broke and burned holes in the ladies' clothing.

According to the old Roman custom the costumes were all Greek. These had been made by the pupils themselves. The play is based on the Greek myth of Perseus, the son of Zeus, one of whose adventures was the slaying of the snaky haired Medusa who turned all who saw her to stone. The queen of Ethiopia incurs the wrath of the gods by being too proud of her daughter Andromeda's beauty. They send plagues and a dread sea monster to lay waste the land. Relief can come only through the voluntary sacrifice of the beautiful princess to the monster.

REXALL ONE CENT SALE In cooperation with the United Drug company, W. J. Cadman, proprietor of the Mullinix drug store, has inaugurated a special one cent sale of the Rexall goods for Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. To every customer purchasing a Rexall article paying the regular price therefor, the privilege of purchasing another one of the same for one cent will be granted him. Everyone knows that Rexall remedies and merchandise are standard, and hundreds will take advantage of this opportunity to get something good for practically nothing. All the Rexall articles and there are many of them, will be sold today, tomorrow and Saturday on this plan. Aeroplanes in the sky are becoming as numerous, almost as buggards hovering over a carcass. Six of them flew over Saturday, and others have been seen this week. They have been making trips from their base at North Island to Riverside and Los Angeles. It is reported that the government will shortly establish an airship mail between San Diego and Los Angeles. The play is based on the Greek myth of Perseus, the son of Zeus, one of whose adventures was the slaying of the snaky haired Medusa who turned all who saw her to stone. The queen of Ethiopia incurs the wrath of the gods by being too proud of her daughter Andromeda's beauty. They send plagues and a dread sea monster to lay waste the land. Relief can come only through the voluntary sacrifice of the beautiful princess to the monster. She is willing to lay down her life for her country's people and is chained to a rock on the sea short. Here she is found by Perseus, is saved from the monster and later becomes the bride of her rescuer. Now that all danger is past Phineus, formerly betrothed to Andromeda, appears to claim her. While attempting to kill Perseus, Phineus and his associates are turned to stone by the Medusa head on the hero's shield. The wedding procession proceeds in peace. The second and third year Latin classes of Miss Ross and Miss Stetchert constituted the cast. Cepheus, king of Ethiopia ..... Arthur Bradley Vasslope, queen .....

Andrew Fox, a with the embezzleMrs. Anna G. Walcase at the beginning, Deputy District said he expected gained the confidence of Mrs. Walters after making love to her, and that when she made him her financial manager he misrepresented facts to her in order to obtain much of her property and money. E. W. Strong of the escrow department of the City National bank of Long Beach was the first witness. He testified that Mrs. Walters transferred to Fox her valuable ranch located near Anaheim. Defense Attorney Earl Rogers declared this line of testimony came as a surprise to the defense, which had not expected the prosecution to go back to the early financial transactions between the couple in order to lay its foundation for the embezzlement charge. Prosecutor Clark said it was necessary to show the first transfer of property, which he said later was made the basis of a trade for Long Beach property and the alleged embezzlement of money received by Fox. The purported engagement of Fox and Mrs. Walters, an estrangement, a reconciliation and finally the arrest of the clubman caused much gossip in society circles during recent months, it was said. Fox was traced to El Paso following the last quarrel with Mrs. Walters by Detective Charles Jones of the district attorney's office. "Wheat is needed in the front line trench over there.
