It is rather surprising that the price of diamonds and other precious stones have advanced since the beginning of the war. They are non-essential goods. However Roberts says he is offering his stock at a price lower than the present wholesale cost, and people are taking advantage of his sale, as everybody knows that money spent for diamonds is safely invested. There is never any danger of depreciation in the value. Our selections of individual pieces in Pyralin Ivory is complete. Our prices are consistent with the high quality maintained.

The district attorney has endeavored to secure action from the state fish and game commission and the federal food representatives in Los Angeles with a hope of putting a stop to the abalone devastation. The Japs asserted that they had a federal permit. It has been found that their permit is worthless south of the Los Angeles county line, and it was with that information in hand that the warrant was issued. Jevne's chocolates make an acceptable gift any time. We have them in the holiday packages. Mullinix Drug Store. A frantic Los Angeles mother was ten hours too late Wednesday to prevent the marriage at Santa Ana of her daughter, whose age she gave at 15. A call was sent to the Santa Ana county clerk's office at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning not to issue a license to Anna B. Johnson. The girl, however, giving her age as 19, had been married shortly after mid-night to Edward J. Annear, 25, also of Los Angeles, and a soldier stationed at Fort MacArthur. The license was issued by County Clerk-elect Joseph M. Backs, who said the girl looked 19, and the ceremony was performed by County Recorder W. F. Heathman. The girl is the daughter of Allen C. Johnson and the groom is the son of W. J. Annear, both of Los Angeles. We will take care of the engraving on your ivory. Make your selections early. Mullinix Drug Store.

Carl Schaffer, of this city, was also supposed to be on the Brooklyn. Santa Claus is anxious that all the little folks in Anaheim may have as happy a time this Christmas as on previous years.

A watch was set, and Aguilar was arrested. His preliminary examination is set for December 23. Rumors are current in Olive that the two wells of the Standarad Oil Company, situated in the foothills a mile east of Olive are to be re-opened. These wells were drilled and plugged four years ago. One went down to a depth of 1100 feet and the other to 600. Gas was found there, and while working there the Standard brought out gas fixtures from town. The wells are on the southwest portion of the old Bixby ranch. A. V. Vall has disposed of his twelve-acre orange orchard between this city and Fullerton and has moved his family to Anaheim. He is now living at 583 West Broadwaay. Andy Kolet, who was arrested a couple of weeks ago by the local police and turned over to federal authorities charged with furnishing liquor to soldiers, has been released.

There will probably be another trial. R. Beers Loos, formerly editor of the Plain Dealer, but now press agent for the Foley & Burk Carnival Company, Though F. W. Keane, dope fiend, pleaded with Judge West to give him a sentence of only a year in San Qdentin, Judge West made the sentence three years. Keane was evidently a confirmed used of morphine when he was sent to San Quentin for burglarizing a doctor's office, which he entered in search of morphine. Since he was one of those who had been sentenced under an old law and had to be brought back for re-sentencing, Keane was before Judge West again within eight months after he reached San Quentin. At prison he had taken treatment for the habit. He looked like a new man, and declared that he knew he could keep away from morphine. Judge West gave him a chance to make good. A few days ago Keane was arrested in Los Angeles and was brought back for breaking his probation. He was back at the old habit. He said he had an attack of influenza two months ago and got some morphine to help him through it, and thus he got to using the drug again. He said a year in San Quentin would give him a permanent cure. Judge West thought it would take at least three years. There's only one Kodak—It's an Eastman. A most suitable gift.

An automobile stolen last week from H. Simons was located in a ditch three miles south of Oceanside. At the time the machine was taken from Fullerton it was thought that the offenders were soldiers from Camp Kearny, and for that reason San Diego officers were asked to keep a close lookout for the machine. Since then Sheriff Jackson has learned that the machine was seen charged with furnishing liquor to soldiers, has been released.

He was reported as wounded. In a boxing match at Vernon Monday night Red Matthews of this city gained a decision over Gene Watson of Los Angeles. Red stands close to the top of the list as a scrapper, in his class. Judge West has signed an order fixing an inheritance tax of $372.97 due from the widow of Frank Shanley. The widow received $43,148.32 from the estate. Joe Walters has purchased the interest of O. J. Eckley in the Sandusky Sales Company, and now has full charge of the business. Mr. Eckley will open a business at some other point. Messrs. Webb & Lagourges have beautified the frontage of the city hall building on East Center street with a nice coating of paint. You will hardly recognize the old place. John Kemper has arrived in New York from France and wires his friends here that he will soon be home. John was wounded recently, but has entirely recovered. City Health Officer Truxaw reports that the flu situation is pretty well in hand. The list of new cases daily reported is diminishing, and most of them appear to be of a mild form. The home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Atherton, west of Buena Park, was burned to the ground Friday evening. The family had all retired. When aroused by stifling somke, the kitchen was ablaze. The fire spread rapidly and in a very brief time the structure was a mass of flames. The occupants barely escaped with their lives. They were unable to save anything. The fire department responded promptly but on arrival devoted their efforts to saving the barn and out-buildings as the house was doomed. Mr. and Mrs. Atherton and family are staying with a sister of Mrs. Atherton. The Athertons have a month-old baby which the father rescued in a blanket. Frank Wheeler came home first commission as second lieutenant in the army. He has been fighting in the trenches in France, and won his promotion by meritorius service. Arnold Enearl, who recently received his discharge from the army, arrived at home Monday evening. Arnold was in the aviation corps, training at Kelly field, and was taking the officer's course when the end of the war came. He is an expert birdman, and would have soon given a commission. Lieut. R. H. Stock wrote to his friends here just before the armistice was declared that he had been experiencing war in all its branches. Among other things he stated that he had been fighting enemy in the front and had also sailed over his lines in airplanes, but so far had escaped unhurt. Carl Oelke, who for many months, was stationed at Schofield barracks, Honolulu, came home Thursday, having been honorably discharged. He was ordered to Camp Fremont to enter the officers' training school when the collapse of Germany on November 11, stopped all further military proceedings in America. E.J.Hartung, who has been serving Uncle Sam at Fort Rosecrans, came home Tuesday night, having been discharged from the service. Army life has been beneficial to him as he is in excellent condition physically. He is enthusiastic in praise of the service. He states that all the boys at the camp were disappointed because they were not permitted to go to France, and that everyone would re-enlist if given an opportunity. Pete Wisser's home folks received a letter from him one day last week dated "somewhere on the ocean, Nov. 8." The ship was headed for a port in France and would probably reach it after signing of the armistice. Pete suggested that somebody notify Earl Steadman's friends that he was aboard ship and still alive, although not in condition to speak for himself very lucidly at that moment. From this it is inferred that Study's dinner was not sitting very comfortably on his stomach, although Pete mentioned that the ship was then sailing over a sea as smooth as glass. Pete Nicholas has received a letter An automobile stolen last week from H. Simons was located in a ditch three miles south of Oceanside. At the time the machine was taken from Fullerton it was thought that the offenders were soldiers from Camp Kearny, and for that reason San Diego officers were asked to keep a close lookout for the machine. Since then Sheriff Jackson has learned that the machine was seen in San Diego. At that time it was occupied by soldiers. In some way the machine and the soldiers dodged the officers. Possibly it has been steadily on the joy-ride. Circumstances of its ditching are not known here. The sheriff got a telephone message from Oceanside Tuesday morning telling him that the machine, not seriously damaged, is in the ditch, where it evidently was abandoned after meeting with an accident. Another man has been arrested as a member of the gang that is alleged to have stolen a truck load of tires from Fred W. James' place at 213 North Los Angeles street, Anaheim. The man's name is Landaris. He is the fourth taken to jail. The others were arrested in Los Angeles about two weeks ago. Most of the stolen tires were recovered. James E. Howard, the man who was rounded up by the women of the Westside while he was burglarizing the residence of Romberg Jensen, pleaded guilty to burglary in superior court Tuesday and was sentenced to San Quentin by Judge West. Howard's arrest was a spectacular one, as 40 or 50 ladies surrounded the block in which he was operating and held him prisoner until the police arrived. Frank Wheeler came home the first of the week, having been honorably discharged from the service. He was at Camp Dix, New Jersey, when the end of the war came, expecting orders to board a transport for overseas duty. QUEER INQUIRIES "My Bill has been put in charge of a Spitoon, will I get any more pay?" So wrote one war-wife to the War Risk Bureau, according to excerpts from a letter received at Sacramento. What Bill's wife meant was that Bill was in charge of a platoon. A few of the unusual items from letters received by the Bureau follow: "Please let me know if John has put in application for wife and child." "Please send my allotment. I have a baby and knead it every day." "I am writing to know why I have never received my elopement." "Iaint got no money since my boy went sailing ober the top." "I did not receive my husband's pay. I will be compelled to live an immortal life." "My mother is dead on both sides." Dear Mr. Risk: We have received your letter. I am his grandfather and grandmother. He was born and brought up in this house according to your letter." Just 5 More Shopping Days Until Christmas Do Your Shopping Early at Falkenstein's Department Store PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev, C. B.

Alice Williams, pastor of Santa FEWER VIOLATIONS OF INSECTICIDE LAW Material reduction in the number of violations of the law in respect to certain spray materials, due largely to the activity of the Insecticide and Fungicide Board, has been noted since the law went into effect placing upon the United States Department of Agriculture the responsibility of regulating interstate shipments and importations into the United States of insecticides and fungicides, and also the manufacture and sale of such products in the Territories and the District of Columbia. In 1911-12 the percentage of violations in respect of lead arsenate, paste and dry, was 60; in 1917 this percentage had dropped to 10. From 28 to 12 is the record in Paris green during the same period. In 1911-12, 94 was the percentage for lime sulphur, solution and dry, while 1917 it was 40. The violations in Bordeaux mixture and Bordeaux mixture combined with insecticides were 98 per cent for 1911-12 and 28 for 1917. PREDATORY ANIMAL ASSOCIATION FORMED The county agent of Natrona county, Wyo., has organized the ranchers of his county into a Predatory Animal Association to co-operate with the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture in the control and eradication of coyotes, wolves, and bobcats. A fund of between $6,000 and $8,000 to carry on this work will be secured through a tax of 2 cents a head on all cattle and sheep in the county. The campaign will be under the supervision of the Biological Survey.

A number of WEATHER BUREAU GIVES FIRE WARNINGS Warnings of weather conditions favorable to forest fires, issued by the Weather Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture, have been extended to include other fire-hazard conditions likely to result in damage or loss in connection with crops, stock, other foodstuffs, and all kinds of inflammable war material. A number of these warnings were issued during the year with beneficial results. A special station has been established at Hampton, Oregon, for carrying on investigations in connection with the service. Ed. Schleuter, who is managing a meat market at Norwalk, came home the first of the week sick.
