Hauck of Fullerton, sixty men having signed the roll. The officers are J. L. Wilson captain, U. S. Glaze first lieutenant and Harry Felling second lieutenant. The election held at the Katella school house last Saturday for the purpose of electing three trustees for the Garden Grove Storm water district passed off quietly, the following trustees being elected without opposition: Milo B. Allen, C. S. Holt and Claude Crosby. After the graduating exercises on Thursday night, Mr. and Mrs. William Falkenstein entertained a number of out of town friends at the Cherry Blossom, who had come to attend the commencement of the 1918 class, of which Stanley Falkenstein was a member. Those present besides Mr. and Mrs. Falkenstein, Stanley and Edith Falkenstein were Mr. and Mrs. I. Asher, Gertrude and Alvin Asher and Mrs. Schmidt of Alhambra, and Mrs. William Jackson of this city. M. V. Stewart has brought suit for $1862.50 against the American Surety company of New York as damages resulting from what the courts have decided was a forgery by Attorney F. C. Spencer, who died suddenly in his office at Anaheim two or three years ago. Stewart alleges that the surety company was on Spencer's notary bond. Spencer is alleged to have used forgery in a mortgage in which his father Chester Spencer, and Lizzie M. Riddle, appeared to be the principals. The document got through the First National bank of Anaheim, and Cull lemons at an average of $14.35 per box were sold by the David Hewes Realty company on the Philadelphia market a few days ago. This is understood to be the highest price for that grade in the history of the industry. The culls, packed and shipped under an "off brand" brought within five cents a box of the Sunkist lemons sold at the same time. This was explained by Manager Huff as due to the fact that the culls were of the 300 and 360 sizes, while the Sunkist fruit was mostly 420 to 490 sizes, less in demand at the time. "I am told through the fruit exchange," stated Mr. Huff, "that the sale is the highest in the history of the lemon industry. Some of the boxes probably brought as high as $15. The average run for the entire lot was $14.35." The C. B. Berger company reports that Herman Bonkosky has disposed of his grove and home on North Loara road, Anaheim, to Romaine Berger. The Berger residence on North Palm and Chartress street, was taken as part of the consideration. Berger will make his residence on the newly acquired grove, while as yet, Bonkosky has not decided where he will locate. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Schindler and Mrs. C.

Cadman, the proprietor of Mullinix Drug store who was recently appointed enrolling agent for the U. S. Shipping board recruiting service, reports numerous inquiries from young men, who prefer serving their country in the great war on the sea rather than on land.

COMMITTEEMEN TURN IN REPORT Nearly Forty Thousand Dollars is Pledged in Anaheim District The captain and lieutenants of all war savings societies met Tuesday evening at the board of trade rooms and made their reports to Chairman Ahlborn. The total subscriptions to date amounted to $38,532. Anaheim and territory's quota is $140,000. This is to be pledged by June 28th and to be paid for in the next seven months to Dec. 31, 1918. There was subscribed within the last week, June 11 to 18, $4532. Loara district leads, with a total pledged of $6325, however, one or two other districts are going a close second. If the enthusiasm is maintained throughout the drive that was manifested at the meeting, Anaheim will keep up her reputation by going over the top. Word comes from the Dakotas and Northwest that people there are using heroic measures to solve the labor problem. When the wheat and other crops are ready for harvesting every place of business in all towns closes up during that period and everybody, men, women and children go out into the field as harvest hands. Everybody prepares for this event and the families lay in supplies of foodstuffs ahead of time, thus allowing the storekeepers to also arrange their affairs preparing to closing up shop when the harvesting time arrives. In this way everybody does his bit and helps win the war. These gentry who go on strike at this time are slackers of the worst sort and in some quarters it is being advocated that they be taken out at sunrise. The city dads held a very important meeting on Thursday night and transacted a volume of business that is of great interest to the citizens and taxpayers. One item of unusual import was the fact that the council took steps to secure a larger water supply for domestic use. At present there are two fine wells at the plant, each capable of producing a larger volume of water by improving their efficiency. Expert well borers have said by proper manipulation a greater stream flow can be secured by knowing just how to go after it. By the installation of more efficient pumps enough water can then be had which will supply the city's needs for many years to come. It is well that the councilmen look to these important matters ahead of time and thus safeguard the people against loss and inconvenience in one of the most valued units of the municipality. Water is king in this Southland and a plentiful supply is a good thing to have on hand. Almost every day application is made for water for domestic use by people outside the city limits. But in each case now these requests are denied, for the good reason that should the city connect up these places and then fail to supply the people with water, owing to some unforeseen state of affairs, the city would find itself in deep water. With the constant growth of the city more water will be needed and the policy of the trustees in taking time by the forelock with this end in view is to be highly commended. The other evening Doc McFarlane appeared before the city councilmen, asking for a few needed improvements to be made around the new station used for the Valley Stages on South Lemon street, and among them the doctor wanted to know if the trustees wouldn't put in an ornamental clust- Ben Yorba, who is working in a ship yard in Mississippi, came home last week on a visit to friends. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Hartwell of Portersville, are visiting with F. R. Lagourge and family. Rev. G. R. Messias' Sunday school class motored down to Long Beach Saturday and spent the day, their teacher accompanying them. Mrs. Harvey Hiles of East Anaheim died Wednesday. Funeral was held at Fullerton Saturday, internment being in Loma Vista cemetery. Mrs. V. D. Loly went up to Pasadena last Friday to attend the high school commencement. Miss Kathleen Loly, who is teaching in the Pasadena high school, accompanied her home. Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Pritchard spent a few days at Catalina last week. Miss Minnie Clay of Emporia, Kansas, sister of Mrs. Pritchard, who is visiting here, accompanied them. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Garnett of East Anaheim have gone to Vancouver on a visit. Mrs. Adkins and Miss Dickerson who have been visiting in Yosemite valley, have returned to their home on the East side. J. M. Henry and family and Mrs. Alexander Henry motored over to Loma Linda sanitarium Sunday. John and his family returned home, but his mother will remain at the springs for some weeks, taking the waters. Mr. and Mrs. Chezick, of Los Angeles, parents of Mrs. George Meyers, and their daughters, the Misses Orlena and Verna Chezick, visited here Sunday and were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Meyers and family. Mrs. William Schumacher, her son William, and daughters, Miss Frances Schumacher and Mrs. C. J. Mauerhan, have gone north on a two weeks' visit to friends at Sacramento and in the bay region. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Berkenstock and daughter, Miss Una, left last Monday for the East, intending to be gone two months. They will first go to Chicago and then to Pennsylvania. Oscar Ronning has asked that he be made guardian of his niece, Illah Waldler, whose mother was killed near Santa Monica recently when an automobile in which she was riding was struck by a street car. Action for damages for the mother's death will be brought. Under an order of court given several months ago, the child was in the custody of Mr. and Mrs. Ronning. Thursday afternoon, another petition for the guardianship of the girl was filed. The petitioner is Earl G. Waldler, father. He and Mrs. Waldler separated several months ago. Judge Thomas however, made no change in the order for the care of the baby. He said that since Waldler might be called overseas soon, the court would continue to keep control of the child, the court having taken her sustody several months ago when Waldler and his wife separated. Miss Elva Stark was agreeably surprised Tuesday evening when a large number of her young friends gathered uninvited at her home to celebrate her birthday anniversary. The guests were royally treated by the young hostess and a very enjoyable evening was spent. She was the recipient of many beautiful presents. Miss Elva has enlisted in the government's agricultural service and is expecting a call soon to a field of duty. Funeral of Mrs. Theresa Schwartzbeah, wife of Joseph Schwartzbach, was held at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors Friday afternoon. Mrs. Schwartzbach was born in Austria in 1849. She was married in 1874 and with her family came to America in 1901, moving from South Dakota to Anaheim five years ago. Mrs. Schwartzbach died at the home of her daughter in Gardena on Sunday, June 9. "The potato is a good soldier. Eat it, uniform and all." CLASSIFIED The other evening Doc McFarlane appeared before the city councilmen, asking for a few needed improvements to be made around the new station used for the Valley Stages on South Lemon street, and among them the doctor wanted to know if the trustees wouldn't put in an ornamental cluster light pole in front of the premises so the place could be lit up. The doctor said he and his associates had already spent quite a wad in fixing up the waiting station and would like the city to help along with the new pole. But the council had to sidestep him. The doctor was told that the city has arranged to furnish water free for the comfort conveniences at the station and thought that was all they could do at this time. "Do you furnish the warter free?" asked the doctor in surprise. "Yep," said McFadden, "Didn't you know that, Doc? No, I didn't" said Doc. "'SThat right; well I'll be derned," and the Doc made his retreat. The city trustees have instructed the clerk to notify all property owners to put in sidewalks and curbs in front of their property in the residential parts of the city. Several years ago when the cement walks were laid on most of these streets here and there at intervals owners on a number of streets did not construct the walks as ordered by the city. This is hardly a square shake to those who have compiled with the city's edict to make improvements. On two or three streets especially the impaved strips outnumber those that are cemented and property owners there have entered vigorous protests. It sometimes so occurs that people have not the money to make these civic improvements, but the city does not recognize that as a valid excuse. The next best thing for the owners to do is to borrow the cash and add the amount to the gross value of their holdings, with a certain per cent additional for having better conditions in their neighborhood." The city trustees have the power to order in these betterments and where the owners fail to comply with the order, the city itself can do the work and make it a lien upon the property. People are limited as to their pur- Mrs. William Schumacher, her son William, and daughters, Miss Frances Schumacher and Mrs. C. J. Mauerhan, have gone north on a two weeks' visit to friends at Sacramento and in the bay region. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Berkenstock and daughter, Miss Una, left last Monday for the East, intending to be gone two months. They will first go to Chicago and then to Pennsylvania, where Mr. Berkenstock's mother lives. They will also visit relatives in Virginia. By the filing of an apology in court by Mrs. John Ziegler, the charges preferred against her for assault and battery and (denied) threats to kill by Paul Hester have been dismissed. The hatchet has been buried and now everything is calm and serene and the goose hangs high. The last regular meeting of the Loara Parent Teachers association will be held Friday, June 21st at 2:30 p.m. at the school house. Everyone is urged to be present as there is important business to be discussed. Mr. and Mrs. Luther Strain left last week on a visit to relatives in Milsap, Texas. Mont Webb will take charge of Mr. Strain's mail route during his absence. Mrs. B. F. Porter and daughter Helon left last week for Tacoma. Mrs. Porter's son Floyd is one of the boys at Camp Lewis. Bud Sackett was among the Anaheimers at Newport Sunday. Bud is a "bear" of a fisherman, and when he can't get them, the rest of the fishermen might as well quit. Schwartzbach was born in Austria in 1849. She was married in 1874 and with her family came to America in 1901, moving from South Dakota to Anaheim five years ago.

People are limited as to their purchase of sugar, but in the case of restaurant keepers there is no way of keeping a customer from helping himself at the open sugar bowl. One proprietor says some of his customers take three and four soup spoons full of sugar for their mush and fill up their coffee cups with the sugar, much more than is needed. A limit should be put upon the use of sugar. If all the restaurants in town would have a uniform quantity of sugar to hand out to each customer it would serve to help remedy this complaint. Some men put four and five spoonsful of sugar in a cup of coffee when one would be plenty. Speaking of a better water supply at the council meeting Thursday night, Trustee Fred Backs asked whether the whitish effect in the water, when drawn from the faucet, caused by excess pressure, could not be eliminated. Trustee Backs said when offering a glass of the water to a stranger he might think our water supply was not good. But Trustee McFadden interrupted, saying, "better leave it alone, Fred, that's all you may be able to offer your friends pretty soon." Pupils of St. Joseph's academy held an all day picnic at Peltzer's grove Wednesday and spent an enjoyable day.

The order of the government that all men within the draft age, who are engaged in useless or unnecessary occupations, shall transfer themselves to fields of usefulness by the first of July has caused considerable commotion among the young men of Anaheim; Many of them have given up jobs and are seeking work in the oil fields and ship yards. The order is intended to apply mainly to young men whose chief occupation appears to be loafing around pool rooms doing nothing. Mrs. Homer G.
