BOND BOOSTERS ENTERTAIN BIG GROWDS
RELICS FROM THE BATTLEFELDS IN FRANCE EXHIBITED BY WAR SCARRED VETERANS
VICTORY TANK AND MOVIE STARS CHEERED BY THOUSANDS OF PATRIOTIC ANAHEIMERS
Patriotic Anaheim needs no stimulus to awaken its people to a sense of the duty they owe their government and the long list of heroic boys from this section who are going to the front to defend us from the Hun, but they have been treated to a couple of stunts the past few days that stirred each to a greater determination to be one of the nation's defenders, either on the firing line or as one of the men behind the gun.
Hundreds of people gathered at the Santa Fe depot Saturday to greet the special war trophy train and get a the first time they ever had an opportunity of seeing her without her professional paint on. She soon demonstrated to the audience that she can talk as well as act, and in a few moments all the loan dollars in the pockets of her auditors were getting uneasy and clamoring to get behind the man behind the gun.
When Rogan and Miss Minter began to grow hoarse from their strenuous exhortations, Judge Garrison, of Los Angeles, was introduced and made an eloquent four-minute talk. R. L. Bisby, county chairman of the Liberty Loan committee, was also introduced later and talked to such effect that there must have been some scorched spots on the hides of the slackers, if there were any present.
The high school girls contributed a number of patriotic songs to the entertainment, and Messrs. Jackson and Phillips captured the audience with a duet entitled "We're Shelling the Woods." The big crowd responded generously to the appeals of the boosters, and when the returns were footed up Tuesday morning it was found that $50,150 had been subscribed in response to the appeals of the boosters.
Mr. Rogan stated that the audience here was the largest they had met since leaving Los Angeles Saturday morning. Saturday was spent in Long STATE INSURANCE FOR EMPLOYMENT OF CITY CAPT.AHLBORN SEEK AID FOR LIBERTY BOUNDARY ADVERTISING FUN WINS OUT COUNTY W. C. T. U. COUNCIL FOR PUTTING ON THE WATER

the duty they owe their government and the long list of heroic boys from this section who are going to the front to defend us from the Hun, but they have been treated to a couple of stunts the past few days that stirred each to a greater determination to be one of the nation's defenders, either on the firing line or as one of the men behind the man behind the gun.
Hundreds of people gathered at the Santa Fe depot Saturday to greet the special war trophy train and get a glimpse of the relics direct from the battlefields of France and Belgium. They were compelled to wait nearly an hour beyond the scheduled time, as the city of Orange, which was not on the itinerary made such a clamor that the manager of the train cut the time short both in this city and Fullerton, passed through here at 9:30, and after spending an hour at Orange backed into Anaheim at 11 o'clock.
The train was in charge of Cyrus Pierce and was accompanied by several men from the battlefront, who are no further useful as fighters because of injuries. A naval band from Mare Island furnished the music, but Fred Jacobson, of the navy yard quartet, captured the audience with a couple of popular songs of the day.
Sergeant J. L. Laird, an Australian soldier, was one of the speakers, and related some of his experiences at the front. The Huns appeared to have an especial spite at Laird as the enumeration of his wounds makes a long list. Also he ought to be dead, having been buried once, but he even got out of that scrape alive. He is unfit for military duty now, but is still devoting his time to the cause.
Private P. L. Smith, of the Seaforth Highlanders, one of the "ladies from hell," was one of the centers of attraction as he was dressed in his kilts, and Corporal Marvin G. Bradley, of the United States army, who lost an arm at Chatcau Thierry, was wildly cheered. Several other soldiers from the front were introduced to the audience and received ovations.
Among the war relics carried by the train were a number of the famous French 78s, camouflaged in their drab war paint. This is a small gun of only three-inch calibre, but it is more effective at short range than the larger guns because of its quick action. There was also a trench mortar captured from the Huns, and two bombs. There were two lead-colored globes, two feet in diameter, innocent enough in appearance, but awful in their execution. Machine guns, rifles, helmets and parachutes captured the audience with a duet entitled "We're Shelling the Woods." The big crowd responded generously to the appeals of the boosters, and when the returns were footed up Tuesday morning it was found that $50,150 had been subscribed in response to the appeals of the boosters.
Mr. Rogan stated that the audience here was the largest they had met since leaving Los Angeles Saturday morning. Saturday was spent in Long Beach where $514,000 was subscribed through their efforts. Monday morning the expedition rolled into Garden Grove, but the chairman of the committee notified them that that patriotic little city had already over-subscribed its quota ten thousand dollars. Monday afternoon was spent in Fullerton, and before the entertainment closed $51,000 had been subscribed by the citizens of that city. The tank remained in Anaheim until noon Tuesday, a meeting in Orange having been arranged for the afternoon, and it was due in Santa Ana in the evening.
Mr. Rogan and his company have set their mark at a million and a half, and they will get it.
LOSSES BOTH LEGS
Frank F. Ward, the well known Los Angeles contractor, who put in the stone work for the First National bank building, in this city, was in town on Tuesday, accompanied by his attendant, Mr. Pate. Mr. Ward nine months ago suffered the amputation of his right leg at the knee, his left leg having been taken off above the knee some three years ago. Both operations were the direct result of blood poison. While building cement canals in San Diego county in 1915 he suffered an abrasion of the left foot. Blood poison developed, and in a few days the leg had to be amputated. Nine months ago, while trimming a corn his toe was cut into, blood poison developed, and the leg had to be amputated. He attended to his business daily, riding about in his auto, and feels the loss of both legs but slightly. He is well known in this section, having put in many miles of cement ditches for the water company, and doing much cement work for the city.
HITTING THE HOBO
While the farmers, admitted to be the hardest-working class of independent producers in America, will note Phillips captured with a duet entitled "We're Shelling the Woods." The big crowd responded generously to the appeals of the boosters, and when the returns were footed up Tuesday morning it was found that $50,150 had been subscribed in response to the appeals of the boosters.

THE state agent cautioned that just because no has befallen any of them the past, that that happy fairs was always going to cities, he said, have gone without any untoward cause an injury, or perhaps a then, bing something causes three or four.
The speaker said that fact that the state grown into popular favors and corporations, and also individuals, many private companies in the state their grips and moved away a lack of business.

There was also a trench mortar captured from the Huns, and two bombs. There were two lead-colored globes, two feet in diameter, innocent enough in appearance, but awful in their execution. Machine guns, rifles, helmets and paraphernalia of all kinds was exhibited in the closed car, through which the crowd passed at the close of the speaking.
Five thousand people gathered at the corner of Lemon and Center streets Monday evening to see Liberty tank roll in and greet the people who accompanied it. The tank and its escort reached the northern city limits at 7 o'clock, a small cannon announcing its arrival. It was met by a large crowd of citizens in decorated automobiles, the Anaheim band, the high school cadets and high school girls. The Placeia home guards, 36 in number, with Captain Fred Wilson, Lieut. Herbert Glaze and Lieut. Harry Filling in charge, had generously volunteered to take part, and were roundly cheered as the long procession wended its way through the streets to the parking place.
Arriving at the grounds a couple of selections by the Fort McArthur military band, which accompanied the tank, opened the exercises, after which Jimmie Rogan, commander-in-chief of the expedition, removed his coat, his vest and his collar and turned himself loose on the audience.
He first introduced Miss Mary Miles Minter, the famous movie actress. Miss Minter is perfectly familiar on the screen to theater-goers here, and is a prime favorite with all, but this is about in his auto, and feels the loss of both legs but slightly. He is well known in this section, having put in many miles of cement ditches for the water company, and doing much cement work for the city.
HITTING THE HOBO
While the farmers, admitted to be the hardest-working class of independent producers in America, will note with pleasure the effect of Uncle Sam's "work or fight" movement on idlers in general, it is with especial satisfaction that they anticipate the downfall of that most obnoxious of non-producers, the professional hobo. For it will indeed be his "downfall" in his own estimation if he is forced to depend upon the sweat of his brow for his daily bread instead of preying upon the farmers with his petty larceny, frightening the women and children and, in general, making the mischief which the devil is said invariably to find for idle hands.
It is the farmer who suffers most from the tramps and it is the farmer who will view with the greatest satisfaction the results of the government program. But the farmer does not like to contemplate a situation which will place him at the mercy of such a class of beings to perform his labor. In order to make sure that the letter of the law is applied, it will probably be necessary to use authority in the form of "lawful persuasion," strongly administered and consistently followed up. It would be adding insult to injury to leave to the farmer the task of developing long-dormant activity in the flabby muscles of these floaters; they cannot be transformed in a day, simply by official edict, into respectable citizens. It is a far cry from "shirk or slight" to "work or fight."

STATE INSURANCE FOR EMPLOYES OF CITY
CAPT. AHLBORN SEEKS FINANCIAL AID FOR LIBERTY BOND DRIVE ADVERTISING FUND, AND WINS OUT
COUNTY W. C. T. U. THANKS THE COUNCIL FOR PUTTING TOWN ON THE WATER WAGON
The city trustees held their regular meeting Thursday night. There were present Mayor Dwyer, Trustees Stark, Backs, McFadden and Gibbs.
A representative of the state compensation and insurance commission addressed the board relative to the insuring of city employees. Business of the state commission is rapidly expanding and as the commission is self-sustaining and is not a money-making venture, there being no profits, nearly every city is availing itself of its insurance. The council will soon take which are now being hoarded up at the city stable yards, the same to be by the cubic foot, or sold by the year. Several parties have made individual offers for the collection, but the board decided to ask for bids.
It was ordered that the street superintendent remove the flag pole from the apex of the tower over the entrance of the old city hall, as a new flag now floats to the breezes from the masthead at the Center and Los Angeles street intersection. It was deemed best to remove the old pole, and besides the flag looked out of place over the antiquated building that now looks deserted and forlorn.
Trustees Gibbs and McFadden were appointed a committee, with power to act, to at once repair the roof on the old city hall building. The compartments used as a jail are frequently flooded when it rains, and the roof is to be repaired sufficiently to prevent the birds from getting a wetting.
Authority was delegated Fire Chief Goodrich to see that some safety device to produce illumination at the moving picture shows be installed at once, the same to be used when the electric lights snuff out, as has been the case a time or two lately. Mayor Dwyer says lights went out a few evenings ago, when a theater was crowded, and a panic, he said, is liable to ensue upon such occasions. The board has in view the drafting of an
MILLIONS DRAWN FOR SERVICE IN WAR
GREAT LOTTERY PULLED OFF AT WASHINGTON ADDS 13,000,000 MEN TO ARMY
SERIAL NO. 322, FIRST NUMBER DRAWN IS NO. 1 ON THE OCTOBER LIST
The great lottery to determine the order number of the thirteen million men who registered for military duty on September 12, began at Washington Monday. There were 17,000 numbers in the bowl, but there are only 4,021 registrants in this district, consequently three-fourths of the numbers had no significance for us. President Wilson drew the first number from the bowl. It happened to be a low number, 322, and drew a man from almost every one of the 4,600 districts in the United States.

A representative of the state compensation and insurance commission addressed the board relative to the insuring of city employees. Business of the state commission is rapidly expanding and as the commission is self-sustaining and is not a money-making venture, there being no profits, nearly every city is availing itself of its insurance. The council will soon take out the insurance for city employees, the rate for which will be about $1,000 per annum, which is to be paid quarterly.
The state agent cautioned the council that just because no serious injury has befallen any of the employees in the past, that that happy state of affairs was always going to exist. Some cities, he said, have gone for years without any untoward event to cause an injury, or perhaps a casualty, and then, bing, something happens that causes three or four, which is bad. The speaker said that owing to the fact that the state insurance has grown into popular favor with cities and corporations, and also with private individuals, many private insurance companies in the state have packed their grips and moved away, owing to a lack of business.
Capt. J. T. Ahlborn addressed the council, soliciting financial aid to help defray the expense of newspaper advertising during the Fourth Liberty loan drive. The captain pleaded his case in such convincing manner that it was ordered the sum of $50 be paid the committee, with an additional $50 to be given later.
Captain Ahlborn further addressed the board and extended the August body an invitation to ride upon the tanks used in the great drive Monday evening. The same was accepted with thanks.
Fred Kern appeared before the council, asking for a share of the business of buying globes, which has been awarded to W. H. Houts for the past four years. As the council desires to be fair in the matter Mr. Kern's request was granted, and the president was authorized to sign a contract for one year. The volume of business amounts to about $600.
Acting upon instructions from the fuel conservation committee there will be no free renewals of globes as herefore, and the ones to be used in future are to be of smaller denominations, wherever it is found practical meeting Thursday night. There were present Mayor Dwyer, Trustees Stark, Backs, McFadden and Glbbs.
Authority was delegated Fire Chief Goodrich to see that some safety device to produce illumination at the moving picture shows be installed at once, the same to be used when the electric lights snuff out, as has been the case a time or two lately. Mayor Dwyer says lights went out a few evenings ago, when a theater was crowded, and a panic, he said, is liable to ensue upon such occasions. The board has in view the drafting of an ordinance covering these cases.
Trustee McFadden reported that Chief of Police Wood said Deputy Marshal DeWitt would resign the first of the month, and that Officer Baxter, who is in the new draft, may go into the navy at any time, where he has previously served Uncle Sam. On the side lines some of the trustees believe the town will be able to worry along pretty soon, with a smaller number of men on the police force; and in fact, in times past, there has been no need or policemen at all, so quiet and peaceable has been the town, even though liquor is sold here.
The trustees feel inclined to believe that their outfall sewer to the sea project is bearing fruit, as it is understood that the city trusts of Santa Ana are also considering the plan, and it has been suggested that Santa Ana, Orange and Anaheim join hands and go in for the ocean outfall. The local legislative body stand ready to do their part, and should the three towns cooperate it is a foregone conclusion that the plan could be satisfactorily launched.
Trustee Backs of the public improvement committee, has his eye on old shacks and is ordering them demolished wherever possible. An old dilapidated structure on North Los Angeles street, which many years ago served its usefulness as a domicile for one of the pioneer families, is marked for removal, just so soon as the councilmen can get in touch with those who have charge of it. Through the fact that the estate has never been finally adjudicated the old derelict still stands, weather beaten, punctured full of holes, and almost ready to tipple over. It could be used in the movies.
Hereafter all persons desiring building permits will have to secure them first from the federal agent at Santa Ana. This is a conservation measure and one aimed at the elimination of all structures classed as non-essential.
There were 17,000 numbers in the bowl, but there are only 4,021 registrants in this district, consequently three-fourths of the numbers had no significance for us. President Wilson drew the first number from the bowl. It happened to be a low number, 322, and drew a man from almost every one of the 4,600 districts in the United States.
Blindfolded the President groped into the great glass lottery bowl and drew out one of 17,000 capsules. It contained a slip numbered 322, thus giving to men holding that serial number first place in their respective classes after registrants already classified under previous registrations.
The number was low enough to touch the list of every local draft board in the country except one or two of the very smallest.
Vice-President Marshall drew the second number and was followed by sixteen other notables who had been invited to participate. Officers and enlisted men of the army, assisted by a corps of tellers, then settled down to the task of emptying the bowl. Two thousand numbers had been drawn and recorded before 4 o'clock, indicating that probably thirty-six hours would be required to complete the work. The drawing continued almost without interruption through the night.
Only the first 100 numbers were flashed to the country by telegraph. Because of the impracticability of telegraphing all of the 17,000, the press had been asked to refrain from sending more than 100 numbers. The complete master lists will be mailed as soon as the drawing is over to district draft boards throughout the country to be made public by them.
There was an interested crowd to witness the opening ceremony, but the interest was rather in the participation than in the drawing itself, for the classification system which determines the status of the registrants; has made the order numbers relatively unimportant.
Before making his explanatory statement, Provost Marshal General Crowder whispered to the President that in his case the blindfold, always worn by those drawing numbers, would be dispensed with. Mr. Wilson said he thought it would be better to make no exception in his case, so the blindfold made from a slip of cloth that covered a chair used in the signing of the Declaration of Independence was adjusted as the President approached the bowl.

A. L. Clayberg, representing the Pickwick Stages, appeared before the board regarding the issuance of a permit to operate his line through the city. The gentleman was given a hearing, and his request will be granted at the next meeting, at which time the attorney will have prepared an ordinance covering the case.
It developed at the hearing that the Pickwick stages do not carry local passengers between Anaheim and Santa Ana, their trade being confined to through passengers from Los Angeles to San Diego. This is according to the rules laid down by the railroad commission, as the passenger business between the county seat town and this city is now amply taken care of by other stages.
A vote of thanks was received from the county W. C. T. U. for putting the town on the dry map.
An invitation was received from Huntington Beach to attend the fair to be held there October 2-5. Accepted with thanks.
O. B. Weaver and the Seventh-Day Adventist church were granted permits for buildings of small dimensions.
It was ordered that the clerk advertise for bids for the street sweepings,
Home grown bananas—this is what O. A. Halladay of Villa Park has, and has enjoyed eating the fruit from his own trees and is anticipating the pleasure of eating more that are now ripening. Halladay says he has lived at Villa Park for five years and in that time it never has been cold enough to nip any kind of vegetables. This accounts for his being able to mature bananas.
He does not know the correct name of the kind he is growing, but he does know that they mature. The plant grows until it matures fruit, and when the fruit is ripened the stalk dies down to the ground and new stalks come up. He has one tree blooming now and it takes about eleven months from blooming to carry the bananas to the ripening age.
Halladay says the flavor of the fruit is far superior to that of bananas bought on the market. They have more and better juice and are not so dry. This probably is due to the fact that the fruit is permitted to remain on the tree until ripe, while imported fruit is cut green for shipping.
George Bishop has sold the Boston bakery to Charles Wilson of Newport Beach. Mr. Wilson took possession Tuesday.
Before making his explanatory statement, Provost Marshal General Crowder whispered to the President that in his case the blindfold, always worn by those drawing numbers, would be dispensed with. Mr. Wilson said he thought it would be better to make no exception in his case, so the blindfold made from a slip of cloth that covered a chair used in the signing of the Declaration of Independence was adjusted as the President approached the bowl.
The crowd applauded as No. 322 was announced and the President returned to his seat to watch the remainder of the opening ceremony.
As the tally sheets were filled they were rushed over to the government printing office for the official master list, which will be sent to all district boards throughout the country, which in turn, will make them public through the newspapers. In that way the country will be informed of the order of all the numbers within the next few days.
District boards have been asked by Provost Marshal General Crowder to use all possible speed in passing upon claims by or in behalf of registrants to deferred classification on occupational grounds.
The first 100 numbers drawn follow: No. 1 is 322; 7277, 6708, 1027, 16,169, 8366, 5366, 1697, 7123.

Only the first hundred numbers were given to the public. They range from 4 to 16,846. There were 4,021 registrants in this district, consequently that number is the highest in which we have an interest. Of the one hundred numbers flashed to the papers Monday, 28 were within that number, but the names of the men drawn could not be obtained. The drawing was finished Tuesday, consequently everyone of Anaheim's 804 registrants now has his order number. The man whose serial number on the registration list compiled by the board at Fullerton is No. 1 on the order list.
WHAT THE WOMEN ARE DOING
"One hundred million dollars for the Fourth Liberty Loan by the women of California"—this is the goal announced by Mrs. E. R. Brainerd, California state chairman of the National Women's Liberty Loan committee, for the women of the state in the coming drive.
This means that the goal aimed at for the fourth drive is just $85,000,000 greater than the Third Liberty Loan
PEOPLE RESPOND TO CALL FOR MONEY
COMMITTEE REPORTS SATISFAC-TORY PROGRESS IN FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN
ANAHEIM'S QUOTA WILL BE EASILY REACHED IF PEOPLE CONTINUE TO DO THEIR DUTY
Satisfactory progress is being made in the Fourth Liberty Loan drive, and nobody for a moment doubts that Anaheim will again do all that is required of it, and then some. The corps of workers are in the field this week, giving their time without compensation, and neglecting their own business interests, but all report that the people are awake to the fact that each man is required to do his duty, and he is doing it. It is predicted that Anaheim will be one community without a slacker when the campaign ends on October 19. We have no large corpor-
"One hundred million dollars for the Fourth Liberty Loan by the women of California"—this is the goal announced by Mrs. E. R. Brainerd, California state chairman of the National Women's Liberty Loan committee, for the women of the state in the coming drive.
This means that the goal aimed at for the fourth drive is just $85,000,000 greater than the Third Liberty Loan total, and for this task she has mobilized practically the entire woman power of the state. There is a chairman in each county and in each city in the state and in addition to the organized women's club, Mrs. Brainerd has extended her campaign machine to include women from every phase of business life in the state. Women who are owners and managers of immense ranches; heads of large business concerns; women accustomed to sit in business councils and discuss business affairs are working hand in hand with the home women who have been routed out of their quiet circles for the Fourth Liberty Loan drive.
With the eyes of Washington on the women, every effort will be made to swing the women's campaign to the goal set by the state chairman, one hundred million dollars.
The National Women's Liberty Loan committee has been organized at the direction of Secretary McAdoo, and California women feel that the crucial test of their citizenship will be found in the way they respond to this war duty.
ORANGE COUNTY FAIR
Huntington Beach is holding a regular Orange county fair on October 2, 3, 4 and 5. It is to be somewhat more educational in its character, perhaps more so than most of the county fairs. The new Orange county advisor will be on hand most of the time to answer questions relative to his department. The county horticulturist has also promised to have his headquarters at the fair all week and will also have an exhibit of noxious weeds, bean plants damaged by the various diseases, and will give talks on lines that are of interest to the people.
The University of California and the United States Agricultural Department have also promised to have representatives on the ground.
A special chorus leader from Los Angeles has been secured to handle the community chorus during these days.

A cablegram came to Rev. C. H. M. Sutherland, pastor of the First Methodist church at Santa Monica, announcing the death of his nephew, Millen J. Sutherland, killed in action somewhere in Flanders. Young Sutherland used to live with his uncle and was well known in Southern California. His original home was in Vancouver, B. C. He enlisted as a sapper with the Canadian forces, and was killed in action on September 2.
Sam Kraemer says the walnut crop promises well, the trees not being heavily loaded but the nuts are of good quality as far as advanced. It is estimated that there is now nothing of a climatic nature to injure the crop and the growers are pleased at the outlook.
