Fullerton has one of the strongest teams in the Southland but the Anaheim State and county taxes will become delinquent next Monday. County Tax Collector J. C. Lamb will keep his office open every day this week until 5 o'clock, excepting Thanksgiving day and including Saturday. The office will be open next Monday until 6 P.M., at which hour first installment will become delinquent. Lamb urges that everyone who has not paid his taxes do so as early as possible this week. The easiest way to pay is to write out a check for the amount, attach it to the yellow bill that was sent to each taxpayer a few weeks ago, and mail it to Lamb. In that way, the person making the payment is saved waiting at the tax collector's office in case there is a crowd there, as there is almost sure to be. The epidemic of Spanish influenza, which swept through the entire world during the past summer, appears to have run its course and is now abating. It laid a heavy hand on some sections, claiming more American victims than the war, but it touched Anaheim lightly. While numerous cases were reported here the death list was small, most of the fatalities being among the Mexicans. There are still numerous cases in town but are mostly of a mild character. Albert Messerschmidt has been very low with pneumonia, but is reported to be improving now. The Garden Grove protection district is rapidly progressing with its work on the river. Seven cars of lumber were received at Olive this week for the work.

At least 1700 Orange county men are now wearing the uniform of the army, navy or marine corps, according to figures tabulated from records of the two draft boards at Santa Ana and Fullerton. Eight hundred and eighty-eight men were drafted from the county and 575 registered men enlisted. Ninety-six registrants are in the student officers' training corps. The draft boards, of course, have no record of men who were in the service on registration days. It is estimated there are more than 150 men in the service who have not been registered, making the total of 1700. Members of the Knights of Pythias lodge were much grieved last week to learn of the death of Mrs. Beatrice Cobb, of Los Angeles. Some months ago Miss Beatrice McFarland was married to Lieut. Cobb at K. of P. hall in this city, during a regular meeting of the lodge, her father being a Pythian of high rank, and an intimate friend of Major Beale and other members of Anaheim lodge. Mrs. Cobb was a victim of the flu. Funeral services were held at Los Angeles Saturday, Major B. T. Beale, Capt. Walter Amstutz and Capt. Alexander Henry attending as representatives of Anaheim lodge. The Garden Grove protection district is rapidly progressing with its work on the river. Seven cars of lumber were received at Olive this week for the work. Ed Clever, who has been in the sanitarium the past three weeks suffering from injuries received in an auto accident, returned the first of the week to his home in Fullerton. Mrs. Clara Dauss, living on the boulevard just north of Anaheim, was run down by a motorcycle driven by Perley Cummins, Saturday evening. The lady, who is 68 years of age, received serious injuries, one leg being broken in three places. She was taken to the Fullerton hospital. A million letters from soldier boys in France arrived at New York Monday. Those directed to this region will reach here in a day or two. Mrs. Ellen Bradford, wife of A. S. Bradford, died at her home at Placentia Saturday morning. Funeral services were held at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors Monday morning, the Fullerton Eastern Star having charge, the body being taken to Los Angeles for cremation. Mrs. Bradford was one of the foremost women of northern Orange county in social and society work, and will be greatly missed by her associates. The burglars who made such a successful haul at the Eagle Bar on Saturday evening, November 23, returned last Saturday night after the few cases of whiskey they were forced to leave behind. They ripped some boards from the warehouse, but found that the selfish proprietors had removed the goods, and the place was barren. Al G. Barnes, a plan relation to the circus pane name, was taken Anaheim Thursday by States Marshal Cavana plaint charging that he mails in a scheme to owe him was indicted by the feeder at El Paso; and had his removal proceedings made by States Commissioner morning. It is charged ary last, Barnes and visual advertised in several pers that they would contest, the winner to and that the plan was did not contest the reings, saying he desired mediately to El Paso charges against him. Earl Dutton is bewildered. Just as he was for Fort Rosecrans to artillery word was rearmistice had been set the Huns had surrender anxious to go overseas swat at the Kaiser, tirely given up hope, Yankee boys will stay there is a thorough hoo he would like to join. John Kirsch came over Pedro naval station parents the first of th Local Notes Union Thanksgiving services were held last week at the Presbyterian church. Services were held in all the churches again Sunday, after the lifting of the flu ban, and business has once more resumed its normal state. John H. Kroeger, of Los Angeles, has purchased through the C. B. Berger Company, of this city, a nine-acre orange grove at Orange owned by C. H. Perkins. The consideration was $21,000. A haystack belonging to R. E. Coffman, on West Broadway, caught fire Thursday noon, presumably from spontaneous combustion. The fire department was called out and extinguished the flames. Forty hundredths of an inch of rain fell Saturday night, making the precipitation for the season 3.65. Last year at this date more than half an inch fell. Friday morning at a special meeting of the Orange County Bar Association, a resolution was passed strongly urging Governor Stephens to appoint Superior Judge W. H. Thomas, of this county, to the bench of the newly-created appellate court. This resolution will be forwarded to the governor at once. After a forced vacation of a number of weeks because of the influenza condition the Stanton branch, Anaheim Red Cross, resumed its regular meetings this week. The first meeting was held on Tuesday afternoon, and on Wednesday morning. NO MAIL DELIVERY TODAY The Anaheim postoffice will be open today for the accommodation of the people from 9 to 10 o'clock A.M. There will be no delivery, either city or rural today.

Kennedy, of Pomona, and Rev. C. B. Hatch, of Anaheim. Because a large purchase of pianos and other musical instruments was released by the sudden ending of the war, the Schmidt Music Company found itself seriously cramped for space, consequently an extraordinary sale is on at that popular place, "The Music Center of Orange County." Pianos, piano players, graphophones, etc., are being offered at prices never before known in Orange county, and the instruments are all of the best make. Mr. Danz says they are up against it and must have the space. Ed Schneider, proprietor of the City Meat Market, has been making some substantial improvements in his establishment during the past week. He has extended the show case space from 25 to 50 feet, and has also placed an attractive show case in the front window, in which are displayed the choicest meats the market affords. All these cases are refrigerated by a cooling plant on the premises. The counters have been faced with white marble, and the floor is to be covered with linoleum. These fifty feet of show cases contain a display of meats so attractive that one peep would cause a vegetarian to forswear his doctrine. Personal Mention Mrs. M. F. Andrade has been visiting her daughter at Blythe during the past two weeks. Mrs. Isabella Hahn, of Long Beach, was in town Saturday visiting old friends and looking after business. Richard Melrose returned Friday from a business trip to San Francisco and Sacramento. J. E. Stroup and family, accompanied by Louis Shaffer and Fritz Balz, motored down to San Diego Sunday. William Jessurun writes from Camp Johnston, Jacksonville, Florida, that he has been discharged from the service and will shortly be home.

The first meeting was held on Tuesday afternoon, and on every succeeding Tuesday and Friday afternoon. Protection work along the Santa Ana river is rapidly nearing completion on both the east and west bank. On the west side the Anaheim-Garden Grove district has completed its levee above the Southern Pacific Tustin branch bridge and has finished a portion of its fencing. Property in that district was assessed $3.00 an acre for the improvement. The gigantic "butter beans" are not very highly recommended by the farming authorities. According to the Tractor magazine, there are two varieties of edible gourds which have recently been advertised as "butter beans" and extravagant claims are made for them, but the United States department of agriculture warns the farmers to be on their guard, and adds that "their culinary value is similar to that of summer squash, and they are interesting as curiosities, but of very slight practical worth. It is known as the Cucutza or sweet gourd." The Snake or Solomon Island gourd also has been renamed in certain advertisements as "Guada bean." Justice Cox on Thursday gave judgment of $297.50 to Motorcycle Officer O. K. Carr against the P. E. for injuries sustained on the morning of November 8, 1917. Carr had been out on South Main street seeking speeders on their way to the gun clubs, and was returning when a freight car suddenly came out in front of him at the crossing at Delhi. Carr tumbled off of his machine backward and saved himself from butting his head against the car. His machine was wrecked, his clothes were ruined and he was laid up for three weeks. Carr, Clyde Alling and L. H. Clark testified that the P. E. had no light on the car, and it was upon that point that Carr got judgment. Al G. Barnes, a piano salesman, no relation to the circus proprietor of the governing Judge W. H. Thomas, of this county, to the bench of the newly-created appellate court. This resolution will be forwarded to the governor at once. Some days ago a Courier patron dropped into the office to get the name and phone number of some Anaheim dentist, with whom he could make an appointment, says the Placentia Courier. We searched all the Anaheim and Santa Ana papers, without finding a dentist's card, and were looking for a Fullerton exchange when he interrupted with the remark that he was going to Los Angeles any way and would have his work done there—which he did. It might be unethical (whatever that is) but it would be good business for some dentist to run a card in a few of the Orange county papers; at the same time it would likely be a convenience to people who do not like to go down the street rubbering at second-story windows trying to locate a tooth doctor. Parents-Teachers' Association will meet next Tuesday afternoon at the Fremont school. All members urged to be present. Raymond Corona, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Corona, came home from Mare Island yesterday on a visit to his parents. Raymond is a fireman, first class. He was about to be discharged from the service, but re-enlisted for four years. Jake Vetter came up from Fort Rosecranz to spend Thanksgiving with his family. Jake is exceedingly well pleased with army life. He says the boys are facing two alternatives—they will either be discharged or be sent to Siberia. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev. C. Blanchard Hatch, Minister.

Dr. H.A.Johnston and family, accompanied by Mrs.Jeannette Johnston, motored over to Banning Sunday to visit R.J.H.Johnston.Bob is reported slowly recovering in the desert atmosphere. Cooney Mauerhan came in from the oil fields the other evening to see his family, which has recently been increased by one good sized baby boy, which Cooney says is the best lad in town. W.T.Wallop, who was preparing to go to the officers' training school at Camp Fremont, has received notice that he is already discharged. He will resume his duties as secretary of the water company on the first of the month. The 81st birthday anniversary of Mrs.A.Frohling was celebrated Sunday, Mr. and Mrs.John Eymann giving a dinner in her honor. Many friends called during the day to offer congratulations to Mrs.Frohling, who was one of the early settlers of Anaheim. Henry Kroeger celebrated his 88th birthday Sunday. A family dinner was given by his daughter,Mrs.J.H.Brunworth,and all the children and grandchildren gathered at the home on East Center street to congratulate the patriarch of the family and wish him many more birthdays. Mr. and Mrs.J.H.Enearl received a wire from their son,Arnold,who has been at Kelly Field aviation school,that he has been discharged and will arrive at home on December 10. Arnold made a splendid record in the training quarters and was taking the officers' examination when the war came to an end. He would have received his commission as a second lieutenant shortly.

Two of his sons are in France,Loring being with the 91st division which was in the Argonne,while Gerald is a member of Mobile operating unit No.1. SPIRITUALIST MEETING Al G. Barnes, a piano salesman, no relation to the circus proprietor of the same name, was taken into custody at Anaheim Thursday by Deputy United States Marshal Cavanaugh on a complaint charging that he had used the mails in a scheme to defraud. Barnes was indicted by the federal grand jury at El Paso; and had his hearing on the removal proceedings before United States Commissioner Long, Friday morning. It is charged that in January last, Barnes and another individual advertised in several El Paso papers that they would hold a guessing contest, the winner to get a $400 plano, and that the plan was a fraud. Barnes did not contest the removal proceedings, saying he desired to return immediately to El Paso to face the charges against him. Earl Dutton is bewailing his hard luck. Just as he was ready to entrain for Fort Rosecrans to join the heavy artillery word was received that an armistice had been signed and later the Huns had surrendered. Earl was anxious to go overseas and take a swat at the Kalser, and has not entirely given up hope, believing that the Yankee boys will stay on the job until there is a thorough house cleaning, and he would like to join them. John Kirsch came over from the San Pedro naval station on a visit to his parents the first of the week. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev. C. Blanchard Hatch, Minister.
