Store LOCAL NOTES The owner of a business block in town in speaking of the liveliness of this burg, remarked that a tenant who has recently taken a storeroom on Center street, on a two year lease, had a clause insterted that should the town go dry, he was to pay $50 per month less than he now pays. What dye know about that! L. Stoffel recently received a letter from his son Peter, who is now fighting in France with the American army. The censor wouldn't let him tell his exact location, but he appears to be in the midst of the fracas, as he writes that he had been three times in the front line trenches. Anaheim boys are helping make things hot for the Hun. Just so soon as the legal machinery can get to working steps will be taken by the trustees to put the old city hall in shape for reoccupancy. The Center street frontage at the second story will be made of uniform design, the old clock tower and bay windows will come down, and the walls of the main building will be reinforced with steel rods extending from the north to the south walls. A new roof will be laid and new plastering will be put on the walls and ceilings. Comfort conveniences for both sexes will be installed on the premises and in many ways the old place will be so changed that it will hardly be recognizable. The trustees have in view the remodelling of the west room and may put in a cement floor and repair the upper apartments provided a suitable renter may be secured. They believe if $50 per month can be received for the premises it would be a good investment. In that event the premises The Rebekah lodge of Fullerton held its installation of officers Wednesday evening of last week, the installing staff of Anaheim going over to assist the Fullerton lodge. The following composed the staff: Mrs. Oliver Hill, district deputy president; Miss Blanche Graves, district deputy grand marshal; Mrs. Machleb, deputy grand warden; Miss Hannah Horwitz, deputy grand secretary; Mrs. Fred Chamberlain, deputy grand secretary; Mrs. N. J. Kuhlman, deputy grand treasurer; Mrs. F. H. Garrison, deputy grand chaplain; Mrs. E. L. Fergus, deputy grand guardian; the Misses Ellizabeth and Minnie Mang, Adele H. Howard and Ida Wood formed the escorts. Besides these E. B. Johnson, district deputy grand master, I. O. O. F., and Mrs. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Naugle, Mr. Wohlgemuth and sister, Miss Wohlgemuth, Miss Meckes, Mrs. Yoern, G. W. Scheuck, and E. L. Fergus of this city were present. Judgment in favor of the defendant was given in the action for $26,000 damages brought by Mr. and Mrs. N. B. Walter of Anaheim against the Southern Counties Gas company. The judgment was given in accordance with direct instructions from Judge West, who informed the jury that the verdict must be in favor of the defendant. The outcome of the case means that the plaintiffs failed to establish negligence on the part of the gas company. The plaintiff, represented by Attorneys T. L. McFadden and R. Y. Williams, alleged that the gas pressure was so uneven that it allowed a burst of flame to go forth from a heater. Mrs. Walter's dress was caught afire and she was badly burned. The gas company was represented by Attorneys L. A. West and H. G. Ames. The Stanton branch of the Anaheim Red Cross will hold a country store at the Stanton city hall on Thursday evening, July 18 (today) from 6 to 12. Anaheim's first court to Camp Lewis are not their way to France, already landed. Selections has written them that they left on Ju Merritt, N.J., which were on the first lane "over there." W. C. Jerome, county a few hours in town his large circle of friends Jerome has served during the past four factorily to the poor considers himself justifiably a re-election. The course during his incursion managed in a business nonical manner, the office during the pa his term being $1700 the last three years' sors term. Judge Howard has leave of absence both visors and the city t he and his daughter for American Lake judge's son, Dr. Horn is in the hospital spect to be gone through the judges' absence Placentia will have vice court business V. Knowlton of Fuller ter the police court Harry Fellling off force, is taking a tw but instead of spe beach or in the mou ing on his Placent while he is resting a new stunt this y place is planted to has already sold cents per pound growing nicely and on the walls and ceilings. Comfort conveniences for both sexes will be installed on the premises and in many ways the old place will be so changed that it will hardly be recognizable. The trustees have in view the remodeling of the west room and may put in a cement floor and repair the upper apartments provided a suitable renter may be secured. They believe if $50 per month can be received for the premises it would be a good investment. In that event the premises in the Masonic temple as now occupied will be retained by the clerk and rate collector and council rooms. The city engineer will occupy the upper floor of the old building, while the police and recorder will occupy the lower floor. The jail compartments will have to be repaired. The vacant lot in the rear of the building may offer a suitable place for the band stand and the city band manager is now giving that matter consideration. Estimates now in hand for these improvements total $3000, but these figures may vary one way or the other. Of course were these plans started it is very probable that the figures would exceed the sum stipulated as materials are high and constantly going higher. Rellable contractors months ago have said all building materials will ascend skyward for a period of at least ten years, and then perhaps may come down. However, the old city hall as it stands at present is an eyesore, and should be either torn down or repaired. The court's injunction which estopped razing some months ago is still in effect, but the council may wipe off the slate and start over again, which they will do, providing no objecting citizen gets out another injunction for this latest move, which it is hoped will not avail. The Stanton branch of the Anaheim Red Cross will hold a country store at the Stanton city hall on Thursday evening, July 18 (today) from 6 to 12. The committee in charge will have everything in the line of fresh vegetables, poultry, including fryers and hens, honey, rabbits, etc., for sale. The ladies have planned something very interesting along musical lines, also home made ice cream and cake. This should be well patronized by Anaheim people as the Anaheim chapter will receive credit for every cent realized. At a party given by Miss Bessie Pendleton at her home in Placentia, Wednesday, announcement was made of her engagement to Arthur Staley. The wedding will take place some time in the early autumn. Pete Nicolas had a large acreage near Corona in barley and after having the crop cut and baled a buyer came along and paid him $24 a ton in the field. Mr. Nicolas also harvested a large crop of beans. Mr. and Mrs. William Kreuscher of Escondido, were in town the first of the week visiting friends. Mr. Kreuscher was formerly in business in this city. He is now engaged as an engineer in the government's business. Harry Felling of force, is taking a two but instead of spec beach or in the mounting on his Placement while he is resting.

PERSONALS Ed Crowther of Placentia was in town Sunday morning on his way to Balboa. Ed says his orange crop is light this season. Mrs. J. Kenyon Lybarger and Mrs. M. B. Tomblin are spending a few days this week with friends at Long Beach. Mrs. J. B. Collings, who has been visiting her husband at Camp Lewis, is again on duty at the Pacific telephone office. George L. Booth, the Paige automobile agent, has moved to the Anaheim garage on South Los Angeles street. He was formerly in the Hartman building. Fred Minyard and family returned Sunday evening from a several days' trip to Big Bear. Mr. Minyard has again assumed charge of the fire department. Joe Backs was in town a few days ago meeting with a whole lot of his friends. Joe has the clerk ship as good as hooked, and there's nothing to wait for except the shouting. Mrs. G. H. Bailey of Phoenix, Ariz., and her two daughters, Mrs. J. F. Cleaveland and her two little boys, and Mrs. Wm. K. Humbert, arrived here on Tuesday morning for a visit with relatives and friends. George Kemp of this city, who has been at Camp Merritt, N. J., for some weeks past with a hospital corps, is on his way overseas. Lawrence Sutherland, formerly of this city, is also a member of the unit, which includes 42 U. S. C. men. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev. C. Blanchard Hatch, Pastor Patriotic service next Sunday morning at eleven o'clock. The pastor will speak on "The World Crisis." The choir will sing a new patriotic anthem, "America, My Country."

Two Mexican women of Santa Ana got drunk in that city Wednesday evening; disagreed over something, and came over to Anaheim on a sitney to settle the dispute with fists and finger nails. At any rate they engaged in a fight at the intersection of Center and Lemon streets. A hard hearted policeman ungallantly escorted one of the ladies to the city jail where she remained all night. On Thursday morning she pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace and Judge Howard gave her sixty days in the county jail. The other one was informed by the court that Anaheim was no thoroughfare for her hereafter unless she came here sober, remained sober and preserved the peace. City Marshal Jernigan was present at the trial to learn whereabouts in Santa Ana the women got the liquor. He heard and went home with blood in his eye. Booze in Santa Ana! Horrors! EXCITING RACE AFTER SPEEDING MOTORCYCLE Officers Andrade and Jernigan Capture Their Man on East Street Officer Marcus Andrade and Chief of Police Sam Jernigan of Santa Ana violated the speed laws Tuesday evening in an exciting race after an intoxicated speedster. L. Ferguson of Placentia was the culprit. Ferguson was found by Andrade down town in a condition which he considered too hilarious consequently he was invited to call at the recorder's office and talk to the judge. When he reached the city hall, however, instead of stopping he speeded up his motorcycle and spurted for home. Andrade and Jernigan, who happened to be present, jumped into an automobile and started in pursuit. At the corner of East and Center, instead of going on toward home, Ferguson turned south on East, but was overhauled before he had gone many blocks and placed under arrest. He had a Mexican passenger in the side car to his motorcycle, who begged him to stop, but Ferguson would not listen to reason. Andrade says his car was compelled to travel at the rate of sixty miles an hour, and had it not been for the top the driver would have lost him before the race ended. He has several severe bumps and bruises which he received while rattling around in the rear seat. Judge Howard yesterday morning gave Ferguson thirty days in jail on the speeding charge, and he will afterward be tried on the charge of intoxication and resisting an officer. Reginald White, son of Rev. H. W. White of the M. E. church, has enlisted in the naval reserves. Reginald is cadet-major in the high school cadets. George Kemp of this city, who has been at Camp Merritt, N. J., for some weeks past with a hospital corps, is on his way overseas. Lawrence Sutherland, formerly of this city, is also a member of the unit, which includes 42 U. S. C. men. Anaheim's first contingent of boys to Camp Lewis are now probably on their way to France, if they have not already landed. Sergeant Joe Collins has written the news to his wife that they left on June 20 for Camp Merritt, N. J., which means that they were on the first lap of the journey "over there." W. C. Jerome, county auditor, spent a few hours in town Friday greeting his large circle of friends here. Mr. Jerome has served as county auditor during the past four years so satisfactorily to the people that he considers himself justified in asking for a re-election. The county auditor's office during his incumbency has been managed in a business like and economical manner, the expenses of the office during the past three years of his term being $1700 less than during the last three years of his predecessor's term. Judge Howard has been granted a leave of absence both by the supervisors and the city trustees and today he and his daughter, Miss Adele, leave for American Lake on a visit to the Judge's son, Dr. Horace Howard, who is in the hospital service. They expect to be gone three weeks. During the judges' absence Justice Ashley of Placentia will have charge of the justice court business here and Judge O. V. Knowlton of Fullerton will look after the police court matters. Harry Felling of the Yungbluth force, is taking a two week's vacation, but instead of spending it at the beach or in the mountains, he is working on his Placentia avenue ranch while he is resting. Felling is trying a new stunt this year. The entire place is planted to peanuts and he has already sold the crop for 12½ cents per pound. The plants are growing nicely and promise a heavy crop. When the gong sounded eight bells at the city hall Thursday night, the usual hour for assembling the city dads, and at which time the municipal ball is supposed to start rolling, the trustees went into executive session. At once all hands outside began buzzing and wondered what was up. One timid person ventured the assertion that the solons were going to take a fall out of the booze question, while another felt certain he could see a new city hall looming in the distance, while still another said he would bet a good cigar that they were going to raise the attorney's salary, as that official was the only one who had not as yet asked for a raise. But all these wiseacres were wrong, as the board were discussing a means of getting a motor street sprinkler on the double quick, but after all the instrument has to be acquired by the old established method of advertising, notice of which will be found in another column of this issue. Receipts of the Anaheim postoffice during the year ending June 30, were $21,665.95, an increase of $4,219.15 over the previous year. Five years ago the receipts were $15,131.79, and ten years ago $9,615.35. Nothing emphasizes the growth of a town more than its postoffice business, consequently it will be seen that Anaheim has been making steady progress during the past ten years. The local exemption board is now engaged in examining young men of draft age who were exempt from military service to determine whether or not their present occupation is essential to the winning of the war. The board is taking care of them in small groups and they are to appear for examination only when summoned. Lee Dickenson, Chillie Fisher and Billy Knott were cited to appear before the board at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Dickenson is an auto salesman, Fisher one of the proprietors of the Fisher Wine Co., and Knott is clerk in Stroup's meat market. Judge Howard yesterday morning gave Ferguson thirty days in jail on the speeding charge, and he will afterward be tried on the charge of intoxication and resisting an officer. Reginald White, son of Rev. H. W. White of the M. E. church, has enlisted in the naval reserves. Reginald is cadet-major in the high school cadets. Bert Demor, on a charge of common drunkenness, was given 90 days in the county jail by Judge Howard yesterday. The Royal Neighbors gave a Red Cross benefit dance Monday which netted $62.20. This money was turned in to the local chapter, all the expenses of the affair being donated. The Katella parent teachers association will hold its monthly meeting this afternoon at the home of Mrs. C. G. Thayer. The time will be spent in work for the Red Cross. Mr. and Mrs. Clem Amberg and the latter's mother, Mrs. Ellen Morris, of Los Angeles, are spending a fortnight at Laguna Beach. Mrs. Nora Babize of Modesto, sister of Charles E. Stone, has been visiting with the family of that gentleman the past week. She returned to her home in the north some days ago. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Burkhart have returned from a very pleasant vacation spent at Newport Beach. The Placentia Orange Growers' association has mailed checks to their growers in the sum of $204,082.35 for 92 cars of Valencia oranges shipped by them during May. This association will pack altogether about 360 cars of Valencias during the season, and based on present quotations will net the growers in the neighborhood of $800,000. This is one of the oldest and largest associations in the state, being organized twenty years ago. It handles oranges for its growers strictly on a cooperative, non-profit basis and has proven itself one of the principal factors of the success attained by such a large number of growers in the Fullerton and Placentia districts at both of which places it has large packing houses owned entirely by the growers. This is one of Harry Felling of the Yungbluth force, is taking a two week's vacation, but instead of spending it at the beach or in the mountains, he is working on his Placentia avenue ranch while he is resting. Felling is trying a new stunt this year. The entire place is planted to peanuts and he has already sold the crop for 12½ cents per pound. The plants are growing nicely and promise a heavy crop. Sheriff's officers would like to know whereabouts of George R. Pierce, the Studebaker agent here, who owned the garage in the Hartman building. Last Thursday Mrs. Lila Ellis, a former partner, swore to a complaint charging Pierce with the embezzlement of an automobile, which it is alleged belonged to her; and which he sold at Santa Ana. Pierce, however, before a warrant could be secured, folded his tent and silently stole away. The garage is now closed, and it is not known whether he will return and reopen the place and defend the charge against him. While W. H. Kennedy, proprietor of Dad's Smoke House was at lunchon Sunday, somebody gained entrance into the place through the rear of the Xchange store, and stole $10.50 from the till. The thief evidently had askeleton key that opened two doors for him. Charles Early, who has been a jobless man about town for several years, was arrested on suspicion, but at his trial before Judge Howard on Monday no evidence could be found to connect him with the burglary. The judge, however, gave him ninety days for vagrancy. At times in the past people have built additions to buildings and asked for permits afterwards. This practice will have to cease, as the trustees do not sanction it. When the additions are a fire menace, the work may be ordered removed. Look out, the council has its eye on you! Sam Jernigan, candidate for sheriff was in town yesterday.

GARDEN GROVE PEOPLE INJURED W. P. Adams, living a mile west of Garden Grove, his two daughters, the Misses Pearl and Lena, and their friend, Miss Marguerite Rice of Redlands, are recovering slowly from injuries received Tuesday when their car overturned a short distance below Oceanside. A tire blew out as they were rounding a curve and is credited with causing the accident. Mr. Adams had gone to National City for Miss Pearl, who is a nurse there, and her sister and friend who had been visiting there, and the accident happened as they were returning to Garden Grove. All were thrown out as the car turned turtle. Mr. Adams' nose was broken, and his back sprained. He was unconscious for half an hour. Miss Lena suffered a broken collarbone, and the other girls were badly bruised. They were brought to Santa Ana by stage and in a travelling man's car, and were then brought home by the physician who attended their injuries. They are just now able to be up and about. July Clearance Prices Are Now In Effect Suits, Coats, Dresses Wash Goods, Fancy Silks All Underpriced Falkenstein's Department Store E. Barranze was in Justice Howard's The board of supervisors has signi- Falkenstein's Department Store E. Barranze was in Justice Howard's court Monday charged with stealing a rope from Hugo Wetzell. Mr. Wetzell had a horse staked out to pasture and Sunday morning he discovered that the animal had been turned loose and the rope and stake taken away. He tracked the thief two miles to his home and caused his arrest Monday morning. Judge Howard was inclined to give the Mexican a 30 day rest in the county jail, but Mr. Wetzell asked that he be lenient with him, consequently the judge gave him a six months suspended sentence, and also handed him some good advice. "The man has a family to support," said Mr. Wetzell, "and his labor is needed just now. What he stole was of little consequence to me, but I think it right to teach these people that if they carry off other people's property they must pay the penalty." The board of supervisors has signified its intention of contributing $1,000 to the fund to be used by the U.S. Geological survey in gathering storm data in its relation to the floods of the Santa Ana river. It is expected that $1,000 will be given by San Bernardino county and the same amount by Riverside county, the federal government to use some of its men in the work and pay their salaries. The data is expected to be of great value in making plans for the control of Santa Ana river floods. Word has been received from Rev. David Todd Gillimor, formerly rector of St. Michael's church, that he has arrived safely in France. He enlisted some months ago as a chaplain, and after a short course of training at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky., was sent to the front.
