ANAHEIM IS BEST LITTLE CITY IN THE STATE ARROWHEAD MAGAZINE PRINTS INTERESTING DESCRIPTION OF OUR MANY ADVANTAGES TO THE EASTERN TOURIST OR HOMESEEKER VISIT TO ANAHEIM IS A REVELATION The Arrowhead, a magazine published for distribution on the Salt Lake trains as a guide book to tourists, recently contained a write-up of Orange county, from which we extract the following reference to Anaheim: Fifty years ago a number of thrifty citizens, then living in San Francisco, decided to form a co-operative colony, somewhere in California, where they could live under conditions which were the most ideal to be found in the state. Many factors were to be considered carefully. Climate, soil, water, location and general living conditions were all to be weighed, each by itself and then as a composit whole, and the location which graded the nearest to perfection was to be their future home. A state-wide search was made and from all this wondrous coast paradise to select from the present site of the City of Anaheim was chosen. While fifty years ago, Anaheim was not the blooming paradise it is today, the basic requirements were there. As use, manufacturing purposes and for irrigation. There is an immense sugar factory in Anaheim which manufactures thousands of tons of sugar annually. Also a large beef and provision company, an ice and cold storage company, steam laundry, large cigar factory, a large brewery and Crawford's marmalade factory, which ships its product all over the nation. These industries alone employ over 1,000 people at good wages. Anaheim has several strong marketing associations. The Randolph Marketing Company, Anaheim Walnut Growers' Association, Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association, Anaheim Orange Growers' Association, Independent Packing Company and Stewart Fruit Company, employ about 400 people. There are eleven churches, two denominational schools and four public schools in the City of Anaheim. The churches are well attended and many of them own their own beautiful houses of worship. As for the schools, no city of its size in the state boasts better schools. The Anaheim Union High School alone cost in excess of $125,000. Constant sunshine and ocean breezes make a combination hard to beat. "Spring Eternal" is the slogan of Orange County, and it is literally a fact in Anaheim. Every day in the year is growing weather and practically every day is an "out-door" day. The average rainfall for the past ten years has been about 14 inches and the rainy season is confined to the winter months, coming principally in December, January and February. During the other nine months of the year the rainfall is practically negligible. At this time every city and town is interested in war activities and Anaheim has especial cause to be proud of its patriotic spirit which enabled her to subscribe every cell and drive $2,000,000 committing much to home automobile depreciation bean harvest business.

A state-wide search was made and from all this wondrous coast paradise to select from the present site of the City of Anaheim was chosen. While, fifty years ago, Anaheim was not the blooming paradise it is today, the basic requirements were there. As a proof of this, what was then a waving expanse of wild mustard is today one of the richest, best improved and most prosperous districts in America. To the stranger who has never been in Anaheim, especially the stranger from the east, it will be impossible to convey an adequate picture of Anaheim and the rich surrounding district, in a descriptive article. It is possible to give facts and figures which will prove Anaheim's wonderful prosperity, but even such facts cannot make one conceive the real picture. First, one should try to imagine an endless stretch of ever green citrus groves with golden oranges and lemons dotting the green—here and there a grove of walnuts with their widespread branches—all producing wealth for their owners which seems unbelievable to the easterner. Over the whole district fine boulevards radiate in every direction with beautiful homes nestled among the flowers, which run riot the entire year. And then picture this wonderfully beautiful country bathed in the sheen of an ever constant California sunshine—practically every day of the year—and you have a picture of the Anaheim district. In the very mids: of this wealth of beauty and prosperity lies the City of Anaheim, "The Best Little City in the State." You will never know Anaheim until you see it. Anaheim has a snap and bustle and sparkle which one senses the moment he passes through the business section. No community of its size in America can boast a more modern city. Up-to-date, fireproof business blocks are the rule, banks and stores which would be a credit to a city of ten times its size, miles of paved streets and an air of cleanliness everywhere. Business is good in Anaheim—the very smallest business houses scintillate with an atmosphere of prosperity. Anaheim has a population of 6,000 in the city proper and it is hard to determine where the city confines stop for the entire district is a city of year is growing weather and practically every day is an "out-door" day. The average rainfall for the past ten years has been about 14 inches and the rainy season is confined to the winter months, coming principally in December, January and February. During the other nine months of the year the rainfall is practically negligible. At this time every city and town is interested in war activities and Anaheim has especial cause to be proud of its patriotic spirit which enabled her to over-subscribe every call and drive that has been made. The Second Liberty Loan quota was $204,000, and Anaheim raised $408,750, a little over 200 per cent. The Third Liberty Loan quota was $188,000, and Anaheim subscribed $252,000. The city's quota for the Fourth Loan was $394,000 and it subscribed $496,000. Every Red Cross drive has been far over-subscribed in Anaheim, and every war call, of what ever nature, has been quickly met and exceeded by the ever-ready purse of the people. The Red Cross Society of Anaheim has a membership of over 1,000 and much valuable work is being dohe to win the war. The central location of Anaheim, her excellent railroad facilities, her network of highways to every portion of Southern California and an abundant supply of pure water and natural gas, together with a year 'round climate, makes Anaheim the ideal location for new manufacturing enterprises. Every inducement will be held out to the manufacturer seeking an ideal location. There is no business in the world more healthful and interesting than the raising of oranges. Neither is there any business of similar investment more profitable than orange growing in that section of California where conditions are naturally and abundantly present for the successful and economical raising of a high grade of fruit. Not all orange groves are profitable and not all sections where you see orange trees growing are adapted to the successful production of fruit from a commercial standpoint. In some sections of the orange belt of California, in recent years, smudge pots were fired night after night to keep the fruit from freezing. This great handicap of expense cost them an average of a hundred and thirty-five dollars per acre. In the frostless section around Anaheim the orange growers did not fire any smudge pots; in fact, this is something they never find it necessary to do.

Up-to-date, fireproof business blocks are the rule, banks and stores which would be a credit to a city of ten times its size, miles of paved streets and an air of cleanliness everywhere. Business is good in Anaheim—the very smallest business houses scintillate with an atmosphere of prosperity. Anaheim has a population of 6,000 in the city proper and it is hard to determine where the city confines stop, for the entire district is a city of homes and small estates, the owners of which are, as far as business relations are concerned, a part of Anaheim, although not numbered to her credit in the census tabulation. Anaheim is located in the northern part of Orange county—"Nature's Prolific Wonderland"—27 miles from Los Angeles and but 15 miles from the blue Pacific, with its cooling and invigorating breezes. Anaheim is a transportation center, being served by the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, Salt Lake and Pacific Electric railroads. The city is also on the State Highway, El Camino Real (The Kings Highway), which connects Anaheim with Los Angeles, San Diego and her nearby sister cities as well as all of the State of California. Anaheim has five strong banks with combined deposits of nearly $3,000,000. These banks mostly occupy their own substantial buildings. The city has three live newspapers, several theaters, over 10 miles of paved streets, over 20 miles of sewer system, an electric light and water plant costing $150,000, with a reinforced concrete tank 90 feet high and a capacity of 173,000 gallons. The city has an excellent street lighting system, with ornamental lights in the business district. Natural gas is cheap and plentiful and there is an abundance of pure water for domestic the successful production of fruit from a commercial standpoint. In some sections of the orange belt of California, in recent years, smudge pots were fired night after night to keep the fruit from freezing. This great handicap of expense cost them an average of a hundred and thirty-five dollars per acre. In the frostless section around Anaheim the orange growers did not fire any smudge pots; in fact, this is something they never find it necessary to do. You will find no smudge pots in the Anaheim district. The total cost per year for the care of the average orange grove in the Anaheim district is not more than $67.50 per acre—one-half what it costs for smudging alone in less favored sections of the state. The stability and prosperity of the citrus industry in the United States, especially in California and particularly in the Anaheim district is primarily due to the fact that the citrus fruit growers are better organized than other agricultural industries. Anaheim is particularly well equipped to take care of the harvesting and packing of the oranges raised here, having several co-operative associations; each with its packing plant. The English walnut has found such congenial conditions in the cool, moist climate of Orange County that over two million dollars' worth of the wholesome nuts are produced annually. Within the last few years the walnut industry has been enhanced nearly one hundred fold by the introduction of new varieties and new methods of cultivation. In the vicinity of Anaheim they are now planting almost exclusively, new and tested varieties, with the assurance of a regular income, not only for the growers, but for their children and children's children.

To the tourist or homeseeker, Anaheim will be a revelation. Low cost of living midst beautiful surrounding, splendid stores, pure water and modern living conditions, make Anaheim the Home City par-excellence. Modern hotels, apartment houses and homes ready for occupancy, together with fine roads for motoring and the ocean and other scenic attractions close by, make the city a mecca for the tourist. The Anaheim Board of Trade is a live organization and maintained for the purpose of locating the manufacturer, homeseeker or tourist. Anaheim is a good city to live in or to invest money in. In California, Anaheim is known as a "live one." Seeing is believing and Anaheim will welcome the new arrival. REHABILITATION OF OUR... WOUNDED The United States Government is resolved to do its best to restore every wounded American soldier and sailor to health, strength, and self-supporting activity. Until his discharge from the hospital all the medical and surgical treatment necessary to restore him to health is under the jurisdiction of the military or naval authorities, according to the branch of the service he is in. The vocational training, the re-education and rehabilitation necessary to restore him to self-supporting activity, is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Board of Vocational Education. If he needs an artificial limb or mechanical appliance the Government will supply it free, will keep it in repair, who resigned his position to attend the first officers' training camp at the Presidio, San Francisco, has been officially reported "missing in action." His parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Deaver, of Riverside, received a telegram from Adjutant General Harris at Washington, advising them that Lieutenant Charles L. Deaver, machine gun battalion, has been reported missing in action since October 6. It is believed likely that he was taken prisoner and may be soon released. Recent letters to relatives at Riverside told of his having gone "over the top" several times in the fighting. Lieutenant Deaver was one of the most popular instructors at Poly high. He won his commission at the officers' training camp, and was assigned as an instructor in the rapid-fire gun division at Camp Kearny. He became so proficient an instructor that he was highly complimented by army officers and French instructors, who found his instruction so complete that no additional training by the offeign officers was given his men. Besides a period of training at Camp Lewis, Lieutenant Deaver through an error of officials was sent to a captains' school in rapid-fire at Fort Sill, Okla., and he was such a capable student that he was permitted to complete the course, notwithstanding the fact that he held only a lieutenant's commission. DON'T TAKE CHANCES WITH SICK FOWLS Prevent Spread of Disease in Poultry Yard by Killing the Sick Fowls are subject to a considerable number of diseases, some of which spread rapidly through the flock and cause a high mortality.

DON'T TAKE CHANCES WITH SICK FOWLS Prevent Spread of Disease in Poultry Yard by Killing the Sick Fowls are subject to a considerable number of diseases, some of which spread rapidly through the flock and cause a high mortality. They may also be infested by various kinds of parasites, some of which live on the surface of the body and others in the crop, stomach or intestines. These parasites are injurious because they take a part of the nourishment which should be used by the bird to put on flesh or to produce eggs, and also because by their movements and their biting they cause irritation and inflammation of the parts which they attack. The contagious diseases which are caused by animal and vegetable germs, and the weakness and loss of flesh caused by the larger parasites to which reference has just been made, are the most important conditions which the poultryman has to consider in the endeavor to keep his birds healthy. These germs and parasites should be kept out of the flock by suitable preventive measures, because disease may be avoided much more easily and cheaply than it can be cured. The aim in studying the diseases of poultry is, therefore, to learn how to prevent such diseases rather than how to cure them. There are some cases in which medicines may be advantageously given or applied to fowls, but, as a rule, when a bird becomes sick it is better to kill it, because the cost of medicine and the value of the time required to carry out the treatment are greater than the value of the bird which is cured. Another reason for killing sick birds is that they may be affected by a contagious disease which before it is recognized may spread to many other birds in the flock. A third reason for killing is the fact that a bird being sick indicates that it is more susceptible to disease than the other birds of the flock, and in order to establish a flock which is able to resist disease such susceptible birds must be eliminated. The greater the number of birds kept upon any farm or plot of ground, and the more they are crowded together the greater is the danger from contagion and parasites, and the more important are the measures for excluding, eradicating and preventing the development of these causes of disease. GOVERNMENT BY POST OFFICE IN Louis Denni messenger companies and has waged a long war on the Marconi company. It is the most despotic and irresponsible trust in Great Britain. Talk about Tammany Hall or the Steel Trust! They are amateurs in monopoly compared with the British postoffice. Here is an organization that never goes out of office—that cannot be sued or bankrupted—that has its agent in every ward and hamlet—that oppresses its employees with an iron hand—and that supports 2 per cent of the nation. To speak definitely, the British postoffice is an organization of 250,000 people. It has exterminated the telegraph, telephone and express companies. It has power to refuse postage to any newspaper that violates its rules. It makes a profit of $20,000,000 a year on letter-carrying, because of the pitifully low wages of the postmen. It is practically above the law as no one can sue it for any loss, delay or damage. It is not liable for more than $9.60 in damages, no matter how great the loss. For the past 44 years, it has been losing money on the telegraph at the rate of $15,000 a day. Its so-called "sixpenny telegram" costs 22 cents to deliver. The sender pays 12 cents and the taxpayer pays 10 cents. Such is the postal way of lowering prices to the public. The British postoffice is an anomaly. It apparently belongs to nobody and is responsible to nobody. It pursues its placid way in spite of bankruptcy and incompetence. It can do no wrong. And no postmaster genral has ever been pilloried as a menace to the public interest. Once in a while it has been attacked. A member of Parliament denounced it as "the most backward department in the whole civil service." Its employees are discontented. Just before the war they demanded a minimum wage of $7.20 a week and were refused. It employed thousands of full-grown men and paid them a pittance of $5 a week and less. It is hard and merciless, too, this postoffice. To cite one case that came under my notice, it made a poor laborer pay a fine of $1.72 for his delay in cashing an order for $1.76. It has no heart. It is run automatically by a large volume of "Postal Regulations." It is the oldest organization in Great Britain, with the possible exception of... RIGHT MAN BUT WRONG EVIDENCE Frank Higashi, Jap, has gone the proverbial judge one better. That particular judge told a prisoner he was not guilty, but not to do it again. Higashi was up for preliminary hearing on a charge of burglarizing the home of another Jap, N. Okabe, of Santa Ana. The case was dismissed, Higashi was "not guilty," but a few minutes later he went to his room and there turned over to the offended Japs all the articles that had been stolen. Higashi has been in trouble several times, once over another Jap's wife and once for forgery. Four years ago he got eight years' probation for forgery. The preliminary Wednesday produced evidence to show that some few stolen articles were found in the basement of the hotel where Higashi worked, but there was no evidence to show that Higashi had anything to do with the articles. Hence the dismissal by Justice Cox. Four Japs slipped down the alley to Higashi's room, after he went home. They meant business. What argument they used with Higashi can only be imagined. Where the courts had failed, the Japs found a way. Next morning Okabe reported that Higashi had given up the articles. The district attorney's office ordered Higashi brought in to answer for vibration of his probation order. LIEUT. DEAVER MISSING Lieutenant Charles L. Deaver, former teacher in history at the Santa Ana high school and junior college, The greater number of birds kept upon any farm or plot of ground, and the more they are crowded together the greater is the danger from contagion and parasites, and the more important are the measures for excluding, eradicating and preventing the development of these causes of disease. GOVERNMENT BY POST OFFICE IN ENGLAND Now that the American postoffice has bagged the telephone companies, the time has come to tell the story of the British postoffice, which has for 245 years been bagging everything it can get its hands on. If ever there was an insatiable octopus, with tentacles reaching to every hole and corner, it is the British postoffice. It is a bureaucratic Pooh Bah. It is the one absolute and universal monopoly of the British Empire. It is the most willing and bumpious department of the government. Already it has gone outside of its original work of carrying letters and papers; and today it includes the telegraph and telephone and express service. It is a bank, an insurance company, and a tax-collecting agency. The British postoffice is a departmental store of rights and privileges. If you wish to keep a dog—to take out an annuity—to hire a gardener—to buy an automobile or a gun—to display armorial bearings—you must go to the postoffice, as a small boy goes to his mother. For generations the British postoffice has had a definite policy of absorption. It is intolerant of competition. It executes anyone who is caught carrying a letter unstamped. It attacked the $7.20 a week and were refused. It employed thousands of full-grown men and paid them a pittance of $5 a week and less. It is hard and merciless, too, this postoffice. To cite one case that came under my notice, it made a poor laborer pay a fine of $1.72 for his delay in cashing an order for $1.76. It has no heart. It is run automatically by a large volume of "Postal Regulations." It is the oldest organization in Great Britain, with the possible exception of the Hudson's Bay Company. It pays nothing for rent, light, heat, water and legal advice. It pays no taxes. It has no fear of bankruptcy. And it knows full well how to pull wires and manipulate the machinery of government. It is a Civil Service hierarchy, not controlled by political parties nor by the votes of the people. It is independent of elections. Governments may come and governments may go, but the postal clerks go on for ever. It is an impressive and significant fact—this postalization of Great Britain. Judged by its results, it may well be avoided in the United States. Just because it has created no millionaires, this organization of clerks has aroused no suspicions. As soon would we suspect the house-cat of designs upon the family. And yet these clerks, who work without fame or high salaries or graft or ambition—who toll neither for righteously nor the public, have builted a vast coral reef across the harbor of trade and commerce. EXPERT ANSWERS Just to prove to the world what may be expected from a group of prospective automobile drivers, a Los Angeles motoring authority presented to his class a number of technical questions. The results were amazing. CONDENSED AND COMBINED STATEMENT Golden State Bank ANAHEIM At the close of business, November 1, 1918.

The United States, lulled to sleep by politicians who saw an opportunity to make partisan profit out of the war, has done nothing by way of preparing for peace. We shall be as sorry as we were that we did not prepare for war—but remorse will be of little avail.
