Store TO BOOST HOME PRODUCTS Made in California Week, May 5 to 10, is to be marked by celebrations all over California, from Siskiyou to San Diego, according to advices received at the headquarters of the Home Industry League of California, 533 New Call Building, San Francisco. Some of the reasons offered by the league for establishing a week to be devoted to the displaying of California-made goods, and which have met with Stafe-wide approval and co-operation are: First: The greater the consumption of California products, the greater the demand for raw materials. Second: The greater the demand for raw products, the greater development of natural resources. Third: In stimulating the purchasing power, manufacturers, agriculturists and horticulturists, by virtue of a greater market, will automatically be compelled to enhance their output. Fourth: To make visualized demonstrations of what can be produced in California. Fifth: To aid thereby in establishing new factories for the manufacture of home-grown goods. Sixth: Thousands of boys are returning from abroad; they will need employment. Many of them are turning their attention to agriculture. Seventh: By uniting in the "Made in California" week, the new demand created will call for supply, the supply will come from the fields and factories, the boys will have a goal towards which to work, and the entire State will enjoy a prosperity never dreamed of. Eighth: And most important—to help augment the weekly payroll. The Home Industry League will furnish, upon application, printed form for a "Made in California" campaign covering the week's activities. MENACE BY COTTON GROWERS tention. The South never was so rich as today. It is so rich that tens of thousands of negroes have autobiles. And they are not all Fords, either. When cotton was thirty cents a pound it was stated that it should sell at forty to give fair profit. When it was thirty-five cents there was a statement sent broadcast declaring the cost of raising cotton was forty cents a pound. How the South managed to live and thrive on six-cent and eight-cent and ten-cent cotton is not known. The explanation of the New Orleans gathering is not difficult. Here it is: When the government was fixing a price on steel, on wheat and many other commodities, the southerners decided that cotton should not be touched by the price fixers. They had their way. They were in control of Congress. They supposed cotton was going to unheard-of-heights and they wished it to soar It soared, not so high as expected, but to a point higher than in fifty years. Then it began to sag. The law of supply and demand is inexorable. Today cotton is decidedly lower than it was some months ago. It would be serious indeed to the world if the New Orleans gathering had the power to influence the cotton farmers to restrict production one-third. Such a program as the New Orleans gathering lays out is unsound economically and pernicious in suggestion.* It is little short of a national and international "hold-up." It is time for the South to learn that production is wealth. Lieut. H. B. Gordon of the North Island aviation school, was arrested on March 1st for wildly tearing across Orange county in an automobile at the rate of 56 miles per hour.

In the last two years cotton has sold from twenty to thirty-five cents a pound, and yet we have the spectacle of 400 leading men of the South, including Governors of states, meeting at New Orleans and forming an organization to get pledges in all the southern states to reduce production one-third. Today the South gets nearly as much for the surplus seed of cotton as it got less than twenty-five years ago for its entire cotton crop. For the last two years the crop has been less than 12,000,000 bales. A one-third reduction would mean an 8,000,000 crop, and this at a time when the world is in more need of clothing than ever before and when the work of reconstruction barely has begun. Four years ago the South was beging the country to "Buy a Bale" at ten cents a pound to save it from disaster. Now it is proposed seriously to curtail production in order to force prices of cotton higher. This proposal is based on the gound that cotton at its present price of twenty to twenty-five cents a pound is below the cost of production. There is little merit in such a con- Lieut. H. B. Gordon of the North Island aviation school, was arrested on March 1st for wildly tearing across Orange county in an automobile at the rate of 56 miles per hour. Judge Cox sentenced him to ten days in jail, and on Tuesday his honor was notified that Gordon would not appear to serve his sentence. A commitment was placed in the hands of Sheriff Jackson and a clash between civil and military authorities will probably result if Gordon is caught off the reservation and arrested. According to the constitution military authority is subordinate to the civil, and it would be a strange state of affairs if, because a man dons a uniform, he is at liberty to violate the laws that all other citizens are amenable to, and by wild and reckless acts endanger the lives of people on the public highway with impunity. Friday evening Under Sheriff Iman arrived from San Luis Obispo with Charles Henning, charged with desertion of his family. Henning said that he and Mrs. Alling, with whom he left Santa Ana two weeks ago, had decided to return, and would have taken the next train had not Henning been arrested. Justice Cox fixed Henning's preliminary examination for 10 a.m., March 21. The main offense alleged is a felony. The main purpose in the prosecution is said to be to place Henning under such restrictions that he will have to support his wife and two children. Dale Quarton writes from the naval academy that his class will shortly leave for a cruise in European waters. Are you connected?

Chillie Fisher is remodeling the basement of the Casson building on West Center and will shortly open a bowling alley and pool hall. The room is a commodious one and is being fitted up in first-class style. The transport Matsonia, now on the ocean, is carrying the 160th infantry, of which Company L is a part. Twenty-five Orange county boys are in this company. The ship is expected to reach New York Sunday. The biggest sensation in the oil fields for many a day was the gusher on the Chapman lease last week. Its flow is estimated at from 5000 to 8000 barrels per day. Land values in the neighborhood are soaring, one rancher owning 21 acres near the lease having sold for $6,000 per acre. The bountiful rain of last week saved the hay and boet crops coming just in the nick of time. Some of the growers were alarmed at the dryness, but now things look different.

Monday was St. Patrick's day, and there was not a drop of cordial in town with which to drink to the memory of the beloved Saint. The Anaheim Board of Trade will meet Monday night and it is hoped that the attendance will be sufficiently large for the transaction of business. The school question will probably be under discussion. This is a matter that everybody is interested in. The botany and biology class of the high school made a trip to Laguna Beach Wednesday to view the specimens on exhibition at the school and to dabble in the surf in search of undiscovered specimens. John Hartung has sold a building lot on the southwest corner of Alberta and Los Angeles streets to Justus Schneder, who will erect a residence there upon. Mr. Schneider recently sold his Orangethorpe orchard, and will reside in this city. A large audience was delightfully entertained by the "Plymouth Singers" at high school auditorium Monday night.

The $15,000 bond issue offered by the Olive school district sold Tuesday at a premium of $819.50, Wm. R. Staats Company being the e purchaser. There were eighteen bids for the bonds. Evidently all the money in Uncle Sam's domain is not tied up in Liberty bonds. Olive will build a new school house with the money. The board of supervisors appropriated $200 to the Orange County Farm bureau to be used in providing entertainment for county farm adviseres and farmers from the central part of the State who are to be guests in Orange county April 1. A barbecue at Orange County park at noon will be one of the features of the entertainment. Friday probation for six months was given William Dayton of Brea, who pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon upon T. O. Barrett, another oil wells employe. Barrett said that Dayton held a revolver on him and made him sign an untrue statement concerning his relations with Mrs. Dayton. Albert Launer appeared as Dayton's attorney. After County Sealer McPhee made an investigation on a complaint that light weight bacon was being sold at Anaheim, Santa Ana and Garden Grove, E. H. Howlett of Los Angeles was cited to appear and answer to the charge of selling the same to Orange county dealers. Howlett pleaded guilty in Judge Cox's court and paid a fine of $25. The bacon was put up in one-pound cartons, the packages falling short of full weight from one to three ounces.

This is one of lyceum numbers being given at the high school this season under the management of the Redpath bureau. The Elks drive to raise $2500 in Anaheim and vicinity for the Salvation Army starts Monday. There was never a dollar asked of the people for a worthier cause. The boys in Europe all testify to the noble and heroic work of the doughnut girls, and half that the organization accomplished has not yet been told. The Eastside Grocery and Meat Market is a new business establishment which is opening up in the Hartman building, corner of Olive and Center streets. Albert Meza, nephew of F. A. Hartman, owner of the building, will have charge of the grocery department, and J. Gelsinger will conduct the meat market. The opening date has been somewhat delayed owing to circumstances over which the managers had no control, but they expect to be ready for business tomorrow morning. At any rate it will be open Saturday. The house will select its own stock and do its own butchering and the managers of both departments state that nothing but the very best goods will be handled. Free delivery will be maintained for the convenience of customers. Max Bayha has asked for letters of administration upon the estate of Geo. Gottlob Bayha, who died on March 3.

The Hoover Club was entertained last Thursday by Mrs. Ed Schneider at her home on East Adele. Five hundred was indulged in by the guests until five o'clock when luncheon was served by the hostess. Miss Elisie Menecke won first prize and Mrs. Herman Schindler the second. C. E. Holcomb went over to Kingman last week to look after some mining interests. On the trip over, he says, he noticed peach trees in full bloom, and on the return found the same trees covered with snow, indicating that winter was still lingering in the lap of spring. The Euchre Club, the oldest club in Anaheim, was entertained last Thursday by Mrs. John Hartung, who served an appetizing lunchcon at the close of the games. The first prize a crumb sweeper, was captured by Mrs. Joseph Bennerscheidt, the second, a silver meat fork, was won by Mrs. W. J. Cole, while Mrs. Falkenstein was awarded the consolation, a green vase. Twenty-one guests were present. The Pinochle Club met at the home of Mrs. J. E.

Are you connected with the sewer If not the Board of Health will report your property as unsanitary. Cards have been printed by order of the board reading: "Unsanitary. The Board of Health hereby declares this place unsanitary for failure to connect with the sewer." These cards will be posted at all houses not connected. Persons having houses to rent will find uneasy tenants if such signs are posted on their domiciles. The sewer has been in operation a number of years and property owners have had ample time to connect up. Roger Payne, the hobo philosopher, passed through Anaheim Tuesday, pausing long enough to sell some of his booklets. He left Boston eight months ago on a hike to Los Angeles, and has just reached the end of his long and tiresome journey. Payne is a university man, having received the degrees of B. A. and L. L. B. at Cambridge. He is a chemist also an attorney, having joined the Inner Temple London, where he qualified for the bar. He preferred a free and untramelled life on the Romany road to the musty, dusty courts of law, however, and has been on the road ten years. Charles Granden Booth, son of Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth, lectured at the high school auditorium Sunday night on prison reform. Mr. Booth is opposed to capital punishment and advocates steady work for prisoners with a wage scale, the surplus wages being paid to the families of convicts. Owing to several accidents having happened at the crossing of the Pacific Electric on East Commonwealth avenue, Fullerton, the board of city trustees a short time ago directed City Attorney Allen to notify the company that unless the signal bell was kept in repair at that point and also at North Harvard avenue, the city would require the company to bring its cars to a full stop before crossing the thoroughfare. At the last meeting the attorney read a letter from the company to the effect that it would get busy at once and put signals in good working condition. The company now knows what will happen if it does not fix those signals. L. B. Quick, a young man from Los Angeles, sustained a broken ankle and a cut on the nose about 3:30 Sunday afternoon when the motorcycle he was driving collided with an auto driven by R. H. Hanna of Anaheim. Hanna accompanied by his wife, was driving north on Spadra, at Fullerton, and stopped a moment or two, hesitating apparently, whether or not to turn east on Union, but decided to turn west and return southward on Spadra. Quick was going south on Spadra. The motorcycle struck the auto a glancing blow throwing Quick to the pavement and against the curb, seriously smashing his ankle and bruising him up generally. He was removed to the hospital. The motorcycle was badly damaged, but the auto escaped with the breaking of a spoke in the front wheel. Mrs. Ellen S. Peterson has accepted a position with the Falkenstein department store, and has been added to the force in that establishment. For the past thirteen years Mrs. Peterson has been connected with the Coulter Dry Goods Company at Los Angeles, and brings with her an excellent record for efficiency. Esley Seeley, Santa Ana young man serving a 25-year term in Federal prison at Alcatraz, San Francisco, for refusing to serve in the army, is dead, according to a message reported to have been received by his mother Mrs Etta Seeley. Seeley was tried by courtmartial at Fort McArthur and sentenced to twenty-five years in Federal prison, for refusing to entrain with a draft contingent for Camp Lewis. He had declared he was a conscientious objector, and was then offered non-combatant work. When the time came to entrain, however, Seeley did not show up at the train. He was found at home and taken into custody. Come out and hear the lecture and messages by Rev.

ATTACKED BY LION Two Employees of Barnes Circus Have Narrow Escape. Two Al G. Barnes circus attaches, George Kirby and Ed Bartlett, narrowly escaped being killed by a lion at Venice Monday night. The men, with others, were engaged in transferring four of the beasts from their winter quarters to cages, preparatory to starting out on the road with the show. Three of the animals were lauded in the cage safely, but the gang plank, placed between the winter den and the road wagon, slipped and fell to the ground with the lion, which attacked Kirby, chewed his right hand and also laid open his shoulder. Bartlett in coming to Kirby's assistance, received a swipe from the infuriated lion's paw, resulting in deep lacerations in his left leg and arm. Other attendants finally cornered the animal and drove him back into the cage from which he was being taken when the mishap occurred. The injured men were taken to the Venice Emergency Hospital and will recover, according to Dr. McGee; who treated their wounds. George H. Warren has sold his mercantile establishment at Buena Park to Scott Frampton of Artesia. Postmaster Duncan of that town is also retiring, having tendered his resignation to the department. J. W. Duckworth is preparing to build a new residence on Alberta street.
