Mrs. Carl Martin has received a letter from her son, Alfred Bittner, who writes from France under date of October 17, saying that he has just returned to a rest billet after nine days of hard fighting. He adds that by the time his mother receives his letter victory will have been won. He sends her an embroidered satin sofa pillow, upon which the flags of the United States and France are worked in colors. Previously to sailing from an Atlantic port he mailed her a bouquet of pressed wild flowers. Alfred will soon be home again and will find a warm welcome awaiting him. Mrs. C. H. Frazier died at the sanitarium Friday night from the wound inflicted by her son-in-law, Marshall Pierce. The body was taken to Orange for burial. Pierce, who inflicted a slight wound on himself in an attempt to commit suicide after he shot Mrs. Frazier, must now face a trial for murder. The Ebell Society met at Masonic temple Monday afternoon. A good attendance is reported. The meeting opened with singing the Star Spangled Banner, after which Prof. F. R. York delivered an extremely interesting address on "The Great Pyramid." Community singing was led by Mrs. H. O. Henderson. After finishing the regular business the meeting closed with the singing of America. George Dutton has resigned his position in the Southern County bank and has accepted a job as bookkeeper in Schneider's meat market. Ralph Maas, who was also in the bank, is now keeping books for the Anaheim Beef & Provision Company. Anaheim's quota in the United War Works campaign was $8,722. Our subscriptions were, cash, $6,927.02, pledges $3,857; total $10,784.02. This was 23 per cent above the quota. The county subscribed $103,145.54, or 26 per cent above its quota of $81,850. R. W. Wallace died at the French hospital in Los Angeles Sunday after a weeks' illness from influenza. Wallace was well known here, his wife being formerly Miss Mary Carroll, sister of Joe and Charley Carroll, of this city. Besides his wife he leaves two sons, aged nine and six years. Mrs. Wallace is also suffering from the disease and was brought here for treatment Sunday evening. Funeral of Mr. Wallace was held at Calvary cemetery, Los Angeles, Tuesday. Mrs. Elmina Dorr has received word that her son, Edward Dorr, died at Lovelock, Nevada, on Saturday, Nov. 23, at the age of 39 years. His brother, Charles Dorr, was with him and arranged the funeral services. Mrs. Dorr is a sister of Mrs. Louisa Boege. Judge Thomas has decided that Mrs. Agnes Maganey, of Long Beach, is not entitled to letters of administration upon the estate of her husband, J. Hayes Maganey, who died at Placentia as the result of an auto accident, two months ago. Opposition to granting letters to the widow was made by Maganey's mother, Mrs. Sarah A. Maganey. It was alleged that the widow had no claim on the estate by reason of an agreement of property rights for a separation made some time before Maganey's death. The judge ruled the agreement was void. The estate is valued at 34,100. Good news for local grocery dealers and candy manufacturers, etc., is contained in a telegram received Friday by County Food Administrator C. S. Crookshank from the California state food office. The wire stated the certificate plan through which dealers George Dutton has resigned his position in the Southern County bank and has accepted a job as bookkeeper in Schneider's meat market. Ralph Maas, who was also in the bank, is now keeping books for the Anaheim Beef & Provision Company. A Los Angeles paper Sunday made the statement that much bolsheviki literature had been confiscated by federal officers in various towns, and mentioned Anaheim as one of the places where it was found. If anybody here had such stuff in his possession he failed to circulate it and the local police have no knowledge of it. Perhaps it would not be wise for a man to preach such doctrine in Anaheim, as a bolshevist, an anarchist or an I. W. W. would be mighty unpopular here. Bolshevism means the majority and is supposed to advocate majority rule. It is good doctrine, if kept within bounds in a country dominated by an autocrat, but in America where the majority already rule bolshevism means the destruction of law and order with no restrictions on riot and terrorism. Congress should enact a law declaring the anarchist and the bolshevist outlaws, and granting every man the privilege of shooting them on sight. Mrs. Lenora Callen died at her home on Orangethorpe avenue Saturday. She was the wife of J. M. Callen, and besides her husband leaves two sons. Funeral services were held at McAu-lay's parlors Tuesday, the remains being taken to Los Angeles for burial. Good news for local grocery dealers and candy manufacturers, etc., is contained in a telegram received Friday by County Food Administrator C. S. Crookshank from the California state food office. The wire stated the certificate plan through which dealers have been securing their supplies of sugar for nearly six months will be abandoned on December 1. Dealers can hereafter buy their sugar supplies without the necessity of securing certificates from the food administration. Householders are not affected. City Recorder Knowlton, of Fullerton, has issued a warrant for the arrest of H. R. Person, a court reporter of San Diego. Person was caught speeding in Fullerton away back early in October and was given the customary five days to answer, but never said a word. The recorder waited a few days and didn't hear from him. The sheriff of San Diego was appealed to and he wrote back that Person was ill but promised to remit the $10 as soon as he could get out, which would be in a few days. It is learned that Person was well in a few days but has never sent the $10 nor taken any notice of the local court. He will now have two charges against him, one for speeding and the other for failing to appear, and it is liable to cost him between $50 and $100.

John Ray, of Fullerton, who has been at the sanitarium where an operation was performed upon him some weeks ago, died Saturday. The new telephone building on North Lemon street is nearing completion and the work of installing the necessary equipment will commence shortly.

Thomas Brooks Fletcher, one of America's greatest lecturers, has been secured to speak at the annual banquet of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association. The banquet will be held at the Masonic temple Friday evening. Tickets for the banquet are being sold at 75 cents, and can be purchased at Jackson's or Witman's. California, has 1033 gold stars on its service flag, indicating that 1033 of the state's young men gave up their lives in the war. Of this number 421 were killed in battle, 139 died of wounds, and the balance from airplane accidents or other causes. Orange county's list of dead number 14. Of these four were killed, six died of wounds, one died of disease and three died of accident. The motion for new trial interposed by the Southern Pacific Railway Company in the case recently decided by the city schools opened Monday after an enforced vacation because of the flu. But Sackett had a bout with the flu last week. During his illness Milton Moore acted as engineer for the street sweeper. Owing to the reluctance of people to gather in crowds the Anaheim Elks this year held their memorial service at the lodge room, only the members being present. Sunday night was the date. The Elks' service in memory of the dead is a beautiful and impressive one, and it is to be regretted the public could not be permitted to witness it. Mrs. Josie I. Boisseranc, of Yorba, has applied for letters of administration upon the estate of her husband, Marius E. Boisseranc, constable, who died of influenza. The estate is valued at $14,500. The widow and a 4-year-old child are the heirs. Williams & Rutan are attorneys for the petitioner. Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Elmers, of Fullerton, received a telegram on Wednesday, the 27th, from Adjutant General Harris, at Washington, D.C., conveying the intelligence that their son, Corp. Victor Elmers, was severely wounded in action on November 11th. Corporal Elmers was entrained from Fullerton for Camp Lewis, Washington, November 27th, exactly a year to the day that word was received of his being wounded, and was at Camp Lewis for nine months, leaving there early in July. The flu epidemic should not be credited—or blamed—to Spain, according to health officers. After a prolonged study of the disease, that it originated in China and the upper stretches of the Chinese rivers are the places where it is reported to have prevailed the most. This is based on a report coming from China a year ago that the residence was diving by the thousands. Personal Mention F. C. Krause moved his family to Fullerton Monday. Three members of Archie Henry's family are suffering with the flu. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Criss were visiting friends at Wilmington Sunday. Walter Naugle came up from Fort Rosecranz and spent Thanksgiving with home folks. A. H. Heying and wife visited Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Segelhorse, Mrs. Heying's parents, at Montebello. Arthur Turck, ensign in Uncle Sam's navy, was visiting last week with his parents. Lleut. Ernest Clabaugh wired his parents Monday that he is on his way home. Leonard B. Slosson, attorney-at-law, of Los Angeles, was in town on legal business on Tuesday. William Stark has been confined to his home with illness the past week, but is now convalescing. F. F. Edmiston and family spent Thanksgiving day visiting friends in Pomona. Mrs. E. B. Merritt was visiting last week at the home of her son Edward, at Fillmore. Chillie Fisher is confined to his home with the flu, but is having it in a mild form. Miss Edythe Simpson came down from Los Angeles Saturday. She is now teaching in the city schools. The motion for new trial interposed by the Southern Pacific Railway Company in the case recently decided by Judge West in favor of Harry Hanna and nine other ranchers owning property near Anaheim junction for feiture of right-of-way, was decided in favor of the ranchers in the superior court Wednesday, Judge West adhering to his former decision and denying the motion. A jury in Judge West's court has awarded judgment of $1,740.60 to W. H. Peterkin, of Orange, against the Randolph Marketing Company, of Los Angeles. The judgment was a clear-cut victory for Peterkin, who got all he asked. Peterkin alleged that he sold his Valencia crop in September, 1917, to the Randolph company at $2.75 a box, Peterkin to get a higher price in case the market price went up. The defendant declared that it handled the oranges on commission only, and declared that it had $246.50 coming to it from Peterkin. The executive committee of the Orange County Women's Committee, Council of Defense, met recently at the headquarters in Santa Ana. The plan of re-organization as outlined in bulletins sent out from the national headquarters was discussed, the committee expressing their desire to aid in every possible way the work of the Defense Council. The formation of community units, to include all organizations engaged in after-the-war work, a part of the re-organization plan suggested by the National Council, was also discussed, and in this matter also the Women's Committee expressed its willingness to share in any way it may be called upon. Santa Claus will find an abundant supply of dolls and toys from which to select his Christmas offerings this year. According to leading toy manufacturers and agents the leading stores and toy stores throughout the country have placed orders from 50 to 75 per cent greater than last year to take care of the huge demand expected being wounded, and was at Camp Dewitt for nine months, leaving there early in July. The flu epidemic should not be credited—or blamed—to Spain, according to health officers. After a prolonged study of the disease, that it originated in China and the upper stretches of the Chinese rivers are the places where it is reported to have prevailed the most. This is based on a report coming from China a year ago that the populace was dying by the thousands from a mysterious malady resembling pneumonia. This is probably the origin of the flu that has passed its climax in this state. Other pestilences that have raged over the world have started in the east and spread to the west, just as the flu has done. And nearly always they have followed great wars. Having started in the far east and come clear around the earth, the influenza epidemic is believed to have about reached an end. Sergeant Claud Buzard, son of Mrs. E. J. Murphy, of 317 East Central avenue, is convalescing in a hospital in France. On October 16, Sergeant Buzard was shot through both arms with machine gun fire, but strange to say no bones were broken and the cords were not even severed, and he and his army associates consider him extremely fortunate. The sergeant has been through the thick of the fighting and at one time he stood for three hours with shot falling about him like rain. For five days he never had his clothes off and for two days he had nothing to eat. Sergeant Buzard, who is a graduate of the Fullerton Union High School, enlisted on August 20, 1917, in the 17th Engineers, Rainbow division, Co. F., and he has made a fine record according to all reports. Mrs. Murphy may well feel proud of such a son. After making a gallant fight against pneumonia which followed an attack of influenza, Albert Messerschmidt died at his home on Broadway Thursday morning. Two weeks ago he was stricken by influenza which later developed into pneumonia. Thirteen months ago he was married to Miss Agnes Herndon who, with a little daughter, survive him. He was salesman for the Anaheim Beef & Provision Company. The deceased was 26 years of age, and was a graduate of the Anaheim Union High School. Funeral was held at Backs & Terry's Saturday afternoon, Rev. F. H. Doescher conducting the services; interment being at Pomona. Mrs. E. B. Merritt was visiting last week at the home of her son Edward, at Fillmore. Chillie Fisher is confined to his home with the flu, but is having it in a mild form. Miss Edythe Simpson came down from Los Angeles Saturday. She is now teaching in the city schools. F. K. Gresswell, who has been taking a vacation at San Diego, returned home the latter part of the week. Bert Simpson was up from Imperial last week visiting his relatives and friends. He is exceedingly well pleased with the valley county. Walter Cadman was down several days with the flu, but got the better of it in short order. Mrs. Cadman and their small son were also sufferers from the disease. Mr. and Mrs. Robert McKee, of Whitler, were guests of Mrs. Ella Williams of East Center street, on Sunday. In the afternoon Capt. C. S. Troutman gave the visitors a motor ride. Oscar Dorn came up from San Pedro to spend Thanksgiving with Anaheim friends. Oscar is on the Beaver, which is sailing this week for southern waters. John Rasmussen is also a member of the Beaver's crew. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Grimminger, of Fullerton, were in town a few days ago. Mr. Grimminger is one of the expert oil drillers in employ of the Union Oil Company, and for many years drilled for the Santa Fe Company. Walt and Charles Koehler, Busy Flowers and Jack Crow motored up to Bakersfield the latter part of the week on a wild-goose hunt. Geese are said to be plentiful in that region this season. Rudolph Fossek has received a telegram from his son Emil, announcing that he did not sail from Alaska on the lost Sophia or any other vessel, but is still safe in the far north country. As the last steamer out left weeks ago, he will spend the winter in that ice-bound region. Carlyle F. McIntyre, formerly of the Santa Claus will find an abundant supply of dolls and toys from which to select his Christmas offerings this year. According to leading toy manufacturers and agents the leading stores and toy stores throughout the country have placed orders from 50 to 75 per cent greater than last year to take care of the huge demand expected because of the ending of the war. Not only is the United States entirely independent of Germany for its top supply, but it is producing toys far superior in workmanship and strength, said one wholesaler. So superior are American toys that many thousands are now being sent to Great Britain, Italy, France and orders have been received from Russia and South America for large quantities. Sunday was the 73d birthday anniversary of W. H. Kennedy and the occasion was celebrated by the family. His daughter, Mrs. Ray Fisher, arranged the dinner, which was enjoyed by sixteen persons. J. H. Whitaker last week received a souvenir from the war in the shape of a Hun helmet. It was sent him by his son Loring. The young man failed to state whether or not the Hun's head was in it when he captured it, but we presume it was. In the list of casualties published Monday and Tuesday the names of Bidel Ruiz and Ferdinand C. Kuhr, both of this city, appear. They are both reported among the wounded.

As the last steamer out left weeks ago, he will spend the winter in that ice-bound region. Carlyle F. McIntyre, formerly of the Anaheim Union High School, was inducted by the Fullerton exemption board for the officers' training school at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Kentucky, and left here on November 7th. The board has received a card from Camp Taylor that he was rejected and the reason given was the cancellation of the draft call. McIntyre arrived on the day the armistice was signed. R. E. Vaughn, formerly proprietor of the Anaheim Feed Store, and now a prosperous rancher of the Cypress region, will leave shortly for his annual visit to old home folks back east. He goes first to Grand Pass, Mo., to visit his mother, who is still living at the age of 85 years, and before returning will spend some time at Coffeyville, Kansas, where he used to be engaged in the milling business. At one time he was prominent in civic affairs, having served two terms a mayor of Coffeyville. Although Mr. Vaughn has an occasional hankering to revisit the scenes of his early activities, he always returns to Southern California. He expects to be gone two months. C. B. Allen, of Buena Park, died at the county hospital Saturday. GIFT PROBLEMS are EASILY SOLVED at Falkenstein's Department Store NO RESTRICTIONS NOW Holiday business is no longer under taboo. The busier, the better, is now the spirit of the government. CARD OF THANKS To all the many friends and neighbors who expressed their sympathy in our recent bereavement, and for the Falkenstein’s Department Store NO RESTRICTIONS NOW Holiday business is no longer under taboo. The busier, the better, is now the spirit of the government. The State Council of Defense announces that all of the requests made heretofore to restrict Christmas buying are called off, from Washington. The restrictions had for their object the conservation of labor in stores and in delivery systems, and the avoidance of congestion on transportation lines busy with hauling troops, material and supplies necessary in the war. But the armistice has brought a change. The Council of National Defense has telegraphed to the State Council as follows: “As one of the steps essential to the rapid establishment of normal after-the-war conditions, the Council of National Defense, should, and hereby does, lift its ban in connection with holiday buying, in the desire to give a natural impetus to the re-employment of those normally engaged in the production of holiday material and in the holiday trade. The council is further impelled to this decision by reason of the necessity now confronting us to get our military forces and munition factory workers back to the ordinary pursuits of life with the least possible shock in making the change.” The Retail Merchants’ Association elected new officers at the regular meeting Friday evening. They are: President, A. H. Witman; vice-president, H. J. Efker; treasurer, O. H. Renner; secretary, J. Lloyd Moore; directors, A. H. Witman, H. J. Efker, O. H. Renner, B. L. Goodrich and F. T. Edmiston. To all the many friends and neighbors who expressed their sympathy in our recent bereavement, and for the beautiful floral offerings, we take this means of expressing our appreciation and thanks. MRS. JULIUS HILBERS (wife). MR AND MRS. O. HILBERS, (parents). There is a joke in this somewhere, and we believe the innocent Mexican is the victim. Last week a Mexican left a perfectly good $60 talking machine at the Schmidt Music house to have some repairs made. Mr. Danz made the repairs and hung a $3 tag on the machine, the price of the work. Shortly afterward another Mexican dropped in while Fred Schmidt was alone and after giving the box the once over decided to take it. Schmidt, whose education in Spanish has been neglected, thought he was the owner of the machine, accepted his $3 and turned it over to him. Later the owner of the box came in after it and then the discovery was made that Schmidt had sold a $60 machine for $3. There was some consternation as nobody knew the purchaser, and the firm was figuring on pungling up $60 to the outraged owner. Just as they had given up all hope of locating him the man himself walked in with the graphophone and demanded his $3 on the ground that it didn’t play the tunes he liked. Elmer L. Goodrich and Mrs. Mary L. Burton were married in this city Saturday evening. The happy couple have been the recipients of congratulations from a host of friends. Which kind are yours?
