"DOVE" Undermuslins Are a True Economy Look Well and Wear Well Aside from their beauty it is true economy to buy our "Dove" Undermuslins because they are so comfortably made and of such good materials that they wear exceptionally well. The new Spring styles are in. Night Gowns Corset Covers Envelope Chemise Drawers Under-skirts The S. Q. R. Store Night Gowns Envelope Chemise Drawers Under-skirts The S. Q. R. Store INDUSTRIAL NOTES Grain crops throughout the Pacific Coast are in good condition. The areas planted to winter wheat, particularly in Oregon and Washington, are from 20 to 25 per cent larger than at any time during the last five years, and the crop is well rooted and promises a good spring stand. In some regions, the soil being in excellent condition for seeding during the fall and early winter, all available acreage was planted to winter wheat. In most of the States of the district it is expected that the combined acreage of winter and sprin gheat will exceed that of any previous year. On account of the mild winter, livestock has remained on the ranges longer than usual. This has resulted in considerable saving to the owners, who were not forced to buy hay for feed. On the whole, cattle and sheep are in fair condition in Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah, and in very good condition in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. The outlook for early spring feed on the ranges is good. In Nevada at the present time there are approximately 3000 miners and about 250 soldiers and sailors who are out of work, unemployment being greater there than at this time in past years. A conservative estimate by the Federal Director of Employment in Arizona states that there are 10,000 skilled and unskilled workers unemployed in that State. Reports from Idaho show that in most districts labor is fully employed, while in others there is 90 per cent employment. Returning soldiers and sailors are obtaining their former positions. The total number of unemployed in the State is approximately 1000. Stored stocks of grain and beans are beginning to move slowly, due in part to the removal of the Government embargo. The demand for dried and canned corn from the old crop is becoming a mystery. Around January 1 it was estimated as low as 25 million bushels, and now Broomhall says it is 80 million bushels. Trade estimates on farm reserves of corn on March 1 range from 610 million to 870 million. YORBA LINDA ENTERTAINS THE EASTERN STAR Members of All Parts of County Attend the Meeting A special meeting of the Yorba Linda Chapter of the Eastern Star was held Saturday evening at Masonic hall. It was the occasion of the annual official visit of the grand officers of California. The grand officers present were Elizabeth M. Marshall of Sacramento, Worthy Grand Matron; D. Wilson Pierce of Los Angeles, Worthy Grand Patron; Maud B. Sibley of Los Angeles, Grand Conductress; Dr. Mida B. Hall of Orange, District Deputy Grand Matron. Other distinguished guests were Ivy Crane Shelhamer of Pasadena, Junior Past Grand Matron Eva M. Boyd of Anaheim, Past Grand Treasurer Mrs. D. Wilson Pierce, wife of the Grand Patron, and Mrs. Bradley and Mrs. Hathaway, both active in Eastern Star circles in Los Angeles. The Fullerton chapter met in joint session with Yorba Linda, and their officers exemplified the work of the initiation ceremonies and they rendered the entire work in a most perfect and beautiful manner, showing splendid ability and very careful training. Mrs. Dr. Lang, the Worthy Matron, and William Goodwin, Worthy Patron of the Fullerton chapter, did their work excellently and also had reason to be proud of their entire corps of officers. The business and escort ceremonies were conducted by the Yorba Linda Chapter. Mrs. Carl H. Seamans, Worthy Matron, and Eldo R. West, Worthy Patron, carried their parts with great ease and dignity and their officers throughout the evening made... Stored stocks of grain and beans are beginning to move slowly, due in part to the removal of the Government embargo. The demand for dried and canned fruit is strong, stocks in many warehouses being almost exhausted. The apple crop of the Pacific Northwest has passed out of the hands of the growers, and many orchardists, particularly in the Hood River Valley, have had the best year in their history. Prices were high and more orders for apples were received than could be filled. The Southern California Gas Company has applied to the Railroad Commission for a temporary certificate under which the company may carry out its construction plans pending the issuance to the company of a franchise by the county of San Bernardino. The immediate future of prices for corn and provisions is largely dependent upon the action of the War Trade Board. Should restrictions on exports of hog products to neutrals be removed, it is expected that the hog price will be taken off. A removal of the ban will reopen the world's markets. Many think a removal would start a selling movement and result in a decline in corn, oats and provisions. Those bullish on corn do not look for declines to be permanent until there is a larger movement. The Argentine exportable surplus of ability and very careful training. Mrs. Dr. Lang, the Worthy Matron, and William Goodwin, Worthy Patron of the Fullerton chapter, did their work excellently and also had reason to be proud of their entire corps of officers. The business and escort ceremonies were conducted by the Yorba Linda Chapter. Mrs. Carl H. Seamans, Worthy Matron, and Eldo R. West, Worthy Patron, carried their parts with great ease and dignity and their officers throughout the evening made the chapter proud of them. Most delightful speeches were made by the Grand Matron and Grand Patron and also by Ivy Crane Shalhamer, and in their kindly manner and with great strength of character, their addresses were highly appreciated. There were present about two hundred and fifty people, members of Yorba Linda, Fullerton, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Orange, Artesia, Buena Park, Norwalk, Whittier, as well as of many chapters of Los Angeles. Refreshments were served to all in cafeteria style after the ceremonies, and the entire affair was another of Yorba Linda's record occasions, and the grand officers repeatedly expressed their high appreciation and commendation of the work rendered. The hall was beautifully decorated with acacia, loquat, mustard and other greenery and presented a charming appearance. Mr. West, on behalf of the two chapets, presented to the Grand Matron a beautiful bon bon dish of china, exquisitely done in etching and gold by Mrs. Seamans with the initial "M" in the center of top. Dr. Lang of Fullerton presented a handsome gift of table book ends to the Grand Patron. Both recipients responded with sincere words of appreciation of the delightful occasion. At a special meeting of the Yorba Linda citation plans were building of 35 houses; the association held an erected by Yorba Linda by the association Fe railroad. The bus town express them this step.

This bacon was put up by a packing house in one pound cartons and retailed at 65 cents per pound. It was being sold not only at Anaheim but at Santa Ana and Garden Grove. McPhee has no authority to limit the outrageous price the meat packers demand for their product, but he can and will see that they don't further defraud their customers by giving them light weight. An alleged elopement of a married man, leaving a wife and two children, with a married woman, leaving a husband and two children, was bared Saturday with the issuance of a warrant for Charles Henning on a charge of abandonment and leaving his family in a destitute condition. The complaint was sworn to by his wife, Mrs. Stella Henning. A search is now being made for him.

Their The symptoms that made officers believe that William Oliver was insane are no longer present.

At a special meeting of the members of the Yorba Linda Citrus Association plans were submitted for the building of 35 houses to accommodate the association help.

In speaking of the improvements at the meeting, Mr. Skidmore, manager of the association, said: "The improvements we contemplate making have been a necessity for the Mexican families for some time, but htis will not relieve us of our ever present trouble here in town. We have no accommodation for our packers, graders, etc. It is costing us in the neighborhood of $3 per day to transport these people from other towns. I could use 20 houses or apartments right now for the help which comes from Brea, Fullerton and Placentia." Santa Ana People May Pay Penalty For Fanaticism Declaring that his religion teaches him to have nothing to do with any government, Ralph E. Crandall and his wife, of 1802 West Fifth street, Santa Ana, instructed their children not to salute the American flag and not to join in the singing of "America." Monday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Crandall appeared before the County Council of Defense, where they were questioned at considerable length upon their attitude and beliefs. A transcript of the testimony is to be sent to the Department of Justice. Mr. and Mrs. Crandall came here three weeks ago from Connecticut. They said that they belong to a branch of the Quakers, who believe in no government. They said that some fifteen or twenty followers of that faith meet at 2:30 o'clock each Sunday afternoon at the home of Joseph Crouch, Mrs. Crandall's father, half a mile south of Blankenbeckler's store, west of Santa Ana. Recently, Mr. and Mrs. Crandall sent two of their six children, Emerson and Leroy, aged 10 and 9, to the Fifth street school. At that school it is the custom each morning as the students march in for one of the pupils to stand with the flag raised. The teachers and pupils give the salute. Monday morning the Crandall children arrived; the older boy stepped out of line at the salute, and when questioned by a teacher he said that they were Quakers and didn't believe in "any of that stuff."

B. Root and wife came in last week and will probably again make their home in Anaheim.

Falkensteins Department Store SUCCESSFUL OPENING OF EXCHANGE GRILL Hundreds of People Visit the Popular Place Saturday Night Fritz Kluewer's formal opening of his Exchange Grill Saturday night was a pronounced success. Everybody in this region appeared to understand that Fritz's general invitation to attend included him, and he was there with his family, his sisters and his cousins and his aunts. The house was crowded from 7 o'clock until closing time, and the proprietor was highly complimented on the artistic appearance of the place. Fritz is a decorator by profession, and he spared neither labor nor money in making the place attractive and unique. Vistors also were regaled with excellent music during the evening. Faber's orchestra, composed of A. J. Faber, Arch Ernst, Miss Margaret Junge, Miss Elleen Adams and Miss Antonia Friend, had been engaged, and they filled the place with melody during the entire evening. Fritz's unexcelled cuisine was also enjoyed by the hundreds of gentlemen and ladies who sampled the eatables. The Exchange Grill is bound to be a popular resort. MANGANESE AND CHROMIUM IN CALIFORNIA A report entitled "Manganese and Chromium in California," known as Bulletin No. 76, has just been received from the printer, and is now being distributed by the State Mining Bureau. California has long been known to contain deposits of commecial ores of both chromium and manganese; but only a limited production was made for many years, owing to the high cost of placing these materials on the principal markets, in the eastern states. During the period of the world war the prices and requirement for these CARDINAL SAYS BUY W. S. S. By continuing the sale of War Savings Stamps throughout 1919 the government has offered to every man, woman and child an opportunity for the display of practical peace-time citizenship by becoming an investor in the securities of his country, says Cardinal Gibbons. It also offers to each an opportunity for self-improvement by giving a chance to save small amounts regularly and systematically and to invest them wisely. In the hard school of war we have learned much that should be of value to us and to our country in the days of readjustment. We have learned the necessity of saving. Indeed it was saving that brought us the victory—the willingness of the people to save money, to save soal, to save food. The man, woman or child who has learned to spend wisely and look forward to the future, and to lay by something which will help him in unforeseen emergency is not only helping himself but is becoming a better and more useful citizen. We should welcome the opportunity afforded by our government to continue the saving habit. To buy War Savings Stamps is the clear duty of every American citizen, young and old. I urge all our clergy to promote this campaign by every means in their power. I urge our good people to give it their heartiest support and from the splendid evidences of their patriotism shown in the last two years, I am confident that it will meet with great success. I shall follow with profound interest the result of this movement, for much of the future of our blessed country will depend upon the outcome. WOLVERINES ARE CALLED TO RALLY President Samuel Young calls upon all who have ever lived in the Wolverine state to meet under the auspices of Cooney enlisted summer and was sent to Galveston, where he was mustered.

S, Phone 50-W, Chromium in California," known as Bulletin No. 76, has just been received from the printer, and is now being distributed by the State Mining Bureau. California has long been known to contain deposits of commrecial ores of both chromium and manganese; but only a limited production was made for many years, owing to the high cost of placing these materials on the principal markets, in the eastern states. During the period of the world war the prices and requirement for these ores were raised greatly, on account of the curtailing of imports from the principal foreign sources and because of the increased demand for steel products. So far as possible, all known occurrences of these ores in California were visited and examined by members of the field staff of the State Mining Bureau; and the results of these examinations are embodied in this new bulletin. The situation with regard to both manganese and chrome changed so rapidly from day to day and from week to week, that the scene has been entirely transformed in the interim of completing the manuscript for such a report as this one, and its issuance fro the printer's hands. Meanwhile, also, hostilities have ceased. However, the volume is still of value in that it is the only publication of recent date containing comprehensive and detailed data on the manganese and chromium resources of the entire state of California. Considerable information is given regarding concentration of these ores, particularly of chromite. The volume is well illustrated with photographs and maps. Copies of Bulletin No. 76 may be obtained for 50 cents, postpaid, from the State Mining Bureau, Ferry building, San Francisco, or Room 512, Union League Building, Los Angeles. President Samuel Young calls upon all who have ever lived in the Wolverine state to meet under the auspices of the Michigan Association of Southern California for the great annual picnic reunion, all day, Saturday, March 15th, 1919, in Sycamore Grove, Los Angeles.

We want to see all the tourists and visitors from the old home state and a special invitation goes out for all the soldier boys and the men who were in any of our wars. Bring your baskets well filled. Coffee will be served free to all who buy the new badges. Each one who learns of this picnic is asked to pass the word along. Further information may be had of C. H. Parsons, secretary of the federation of state societies, California Savings Bank, Spring and Fourth streets. Funeral of George D. Ingram was held at Backs & Terry's Saturday morning, many former friends of the deceased being present from Santa Ana and Garden Grove. The remains were buried at Loma Vista.
