OXFORDS In white kid, brown and black kid and fine white fabrics; high Louis and new military heels. The new long shapes.

PRICES $5.00 to $9.00 The S. Q. R. Store The host of friends of Dr. E. W. Hauck, former principal of the Union High School, will be pleased to hear that he is making a great success of farming on his new ranch at Oakdale, near Modesto, in the San Joachin valley. Before the doctor sowed his grain crop he was offered a big price for his ranch, being much more than he paid for it, but he decided to try his luck at raising grain, so concluded to plant a crop and stay with it. There is every prospect now that the returns from his crop will make a school-master's salary look like a Sunday school collection of pennies. Fifty-seven residents of Yorba Linda are waiting to see what action the telephone company will take in regard to collecting the increased rates following the signing by 57 subscribers of a pledge to discontinue their telephones if the company insisted on collecting the $2.50 rate. Residents say their bills for March have come in for the $2.50 rate in advance, and they are waiting for the company to disconnect the phones as they refuse to pay the increase. As there are only 76 telephones in Yorba Linda that section would be practically phoneless if all the signers kept their pledge and had their telephones removed. It would only leave 19 telephones in the town, and they would likely be business phones. Judgment for the defendant was given in the superior court in the trial of the case of J. W. Sauerbrel against Anna Derkson. The plaintiff alleged he had $286 due him for wages. The defendant declared that Sauerbrel, an old man, was at the ranch at his own request to work for his room and board and a little spending money, that nothing was due him. The justice's court gave $88 judgment. The superior court on appeal found for the defendant. BORN OF WAR It is difficult yet to valma summarily or in some instances to perceive all the war has brought to our national life or pruned from it. The things we think little now may appear to posterity the greatest. The Thrift Stamp idea seems to be one of these. Originated as a war emergency measure, it has taken hold; has appealed to the common sense of America, and may yet shape the destiny of the nation. It is patent, now that the war is over, that the Thrift Stamp has come to stay. If we get nothing else out of the war but the habit of saving, which begets the corollary simple living, we will have reaped the full fruit of the grar. For a thrifty democracy is a firm democracy, a potent democracy, a democracy strong enough to preserve itself. A man who saves is a better citizen than the man who does not save. He becomes a stockholder in his government and he is jealous for the welfare of that government in war and in peace. In war he will fight for it with his life. In peace he will protect it from those who would tear down. As America saves from this day on so shall she grow in benign power and in the eyes of mankind. "A bank account for every American citizen" should be one of our national allegaes. The Thrift and War Savings Stamp idea is freighted with a mighty change for the better in our national life. The Thrift Stamp is backed by the United States government. Without doubt it is the greatest investment ever offered and it is in such a form that every American, big and little, can take advantage of it. WHO SAYS IT? Slogging through the mud of France. Camping in the rain; Hiking in a frozen trance Down some German plain; "Fall in!"—hear the sergeant yell, Far from home and clover; Tell me who the hell hall... Miss Frances Adams celebrated her thirteenth birthday on Tuesday evening at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Adams on South Claudina street. A number of her young friends were present at a most enjoyable evening. The guests were plentifully served with ice cream, cake and other delectables, and the house was prettily decorated in honor of the occasion. Games were played and music enjoyed and a delightful time was participated in by all. The Ladies Aid Society of the Presbyterian Church will meet on Thursday in the Church Lecture Room at 2:30 p.m. The ladies are requested to bring "tools" for sewing, etc. Somebody looted a Ford belonging to Charles Rasell of Orange which was parked on the streets of Anaheim Monday night. A cushion and bag of tools were taken from it. Company L, which was originally composed of Orange county boys, arrived in New York Monday, and will shortly be mustered out at Camp Kearny. Only about a dozen local boys are with the company now, most of the members having been shifted to other commands. WHO SAYS IT? Slogging through the mud of France. Camping in the rain; Hiking in a frozen trance Down some German plain; "Fall in!"—hear the sergeant yell, Far from home and clover; Tell me, who the bally hell Said the war "was over?" Chow for breakfast—slum for noon— Who says men are free While the bugler's foolish tune Pipes the revelille? "Right dress!"—hear the sergeant buzz From Mainz across to Dover; Tell me who the hell it wuz Said the war "was over?" Cleaning up a mass of wire, Stained with clotted blood Where the big trucks bog and mire In the winter mud; Full of filth and fleas and fuzz— Cannoneer and drover, Tell me who the fat-head wuz Said the war "was over?" —Grantland Rice. Tuesday articles of incorporation for the Santa Ana Canyon Oil Co., were filed by H. J. Forgy. This is the company just organized by Santa Ana men for the purpose of drilling an oil well a quarter of a mile north of the Yorba school house. The $100,000 capital stock of the company is all subscribed. The directors are F. E. Farnsworth, R. Y. Williams, C. S. Crookshank, N. T. Edwards and R. M. Simon. Local Notes J. Luneberg is re-modeling the store room formerly occupied by the Eagle saloon. A new front is being put in, which will make it a neat and desirable business room. The Wickersheim Implement Company of Fullerton have employed A. I. Wisehart as special Ford salesman for this territory. Since last May they have been able to dispose of their allotment of Fords without a salesman. A board meeting of the Orange county Federation of Woman's Clubs will be held on Thursday afternoon, March 27, at 116 South Birch street, Santa Ana. A good attendance is requested. Final arrangements will be made for the county convention to be held in April. Saturday night a horsethief entered a corral at A. H. Peralta's ranch at Peralta and got away with a sorrel mare belonging to Peralta. Tracks in an orchard showed where a man with his right foot turned slightly outward had led the animal to the pavement, upon which the tracks were lost. Ed Bruns, who recently went to Toledo to engage in business, is delighted with his prospects in the tire business there and has sent for his wife to join him. Mrs. Bruns left Sunday and she and Mr. Bruns will make their home in Toledo. The timely rainfall the past two weeks helped out wonderfully and good crops are assured. Old time residents are willing to predict that there will be late rains in April and May, and if such is the case there will be J. J. Schneider, assistant to County Assessor Sleeper, is now busy making the assessment of Anaheim. Arnie Baker, who has been serving his country in France, returned home Monday. He was a member of the 92d (colored) regiment, organized at Buffalo, N.Y. Arnie says he received no wounds in the war, although several Hun bullets bounced off him. France, he declares, is a mighty good country to stay away from, and he cannot understand why people pay good money to see it. An action involving ownership of a $1600 automobile and other personal property worth $400 has been brought by Emma Schulte against Henry Schulte and R. S. Gregory as executors of the estate of William Schulte, a pioneer of the Orangethorpe section. Heizman and Brown of Los Angeles are attorneys for the plaintiff. The Chapman well at Placentia is producing 4000 barrels of oil per day which at the present price of oil sells for more than $5000, a yield of nearly two million dollars per year. Orange county's oil output now is 1,475,000 barrels per month, the market value of which is $1,843,750, or $22,000,000 a year. Jesse Mitchell, new editor of the Brea Progress, was in town last Wednesday and drifted into this office before leaving. The appearance of the Progress since Mitchell took charge proves that he knows how to run a newspaper. He has an excellent field at Brea, he is a booster for the town, and we believe the people will give him loyal support. County Clerk Backs has been notified that the wartime restrictions Personal Mention Mrs. Gerald Simpson and two children left Saturday for Kingman, Ariz. Mrs. W. J.

Mrs. Bruns left Sunday and she and Mr. Bruns will make their home in Toledo. The timely rainfall the past two weeks helped out wonderfully and good crops are assured. Old time residents are willing to predict that there will be late rains in April and May, and if such is the case there will be no cause for alarm. Two or three inches of rain distributed through the next two months will do wonders. Friends of Capt. Holderman of Santa Ana received unexpected news Monday that he had arrived in New York. Capt. Holderman was one of the famous "Lost Battalion," and received ten wounds in the battle of Argonne. Are you wearing a Salvation Army badge If not pungle up some money to an Elk and get one of them. It is a badge of honor, and everybody will be wearing one by Saturday night. A gang of young thieves and thugs usually follows a circus, and numerous cases of robbing result in consequence, but only one burglary was pulled off in Anaheim Monday night. This one was an outrage, however, and we rise in our wrath and give voice to our resentment. It was the home of Chief of Police Wood that the burglar chose for the scene of his operations, and he carried off the chief's wardrobe, his summer uniform being one of the suits stolen. And this happened just at the time summer clothing is coming into season again. The thief found the house deserted, Mr. Wood being on duty and his family at the circus. Two suits of clothing is all the loss reported. Judgment for divorce is to be entered for the plaintiff in the action of Clyde Alling against Pearl Alling without contest by the defendant.

He has an excellent field at Brea, he is a booster for the town, and we believe the people will give him loyal support. County Clerk Backs has been notified that the wartime restrictions placed upon the handling of explosives has been lifted so far as they required the issuance of licenses and permits for handling explosives for agricultural purposes. Licenses are no-longer required for the use of dynamite for blowing out stumps, ditching, reclaiming land or preparing land for planting. This restriction, however, has not been lifted so far as alien enemies are concerned. Capt. John Loop of Long Beach, has a herd of twelve whale cows corralled in a lagoon on the coast of Lower California, and says he will start a whale dairy as soon as machinery can be made to do the milking. Captain Loop declares that whale milk is richer than that produced by cows or goats, and that one whale will yield a barrel at a milking. John H. Wright, an old and highly respected citizen of Buena Park, died early Wednesday morning. He was 98 years of age, and had lived in Buena Park for over thirty years. He leaves a wife and several sons. One of the sons, Harry Wright lives in Los Angeles while the others live in the East. The body was removed to Los Angeles to await funeral arrangements. The High School senior class teachers, Miss B. J. Walker, Mrs. A. C. Hargrave and J. A. Clayes, entertained at a very unique St. Patrick's party on Friday for the class. One of the unique features of the evening was the indoor senior track meet, which included many unique stunts as the shot put, Murphy race, etc. The last feature of the evening was the serving of refreshments, served on prettily-decorated tables, where large green shamrocks and green candle shades made everyone feel that they were truly in Ireland. Red Mattis and Joe Stroka left some days ago on a vessel sailing from San Pedro for Chili, where they go on a year's contract with the Standard Oil Company. They are two of our best boys and take with them the best wishes of many friends for success in the foreign land. Karl Knudson, formerly of the Grand Theatre, now a valued member of one of the brass bands of the Al G. Barnes circus, was here Monday with the show. Carl was somewhat surprised to note that the theatre remains darkened. Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Troutman entertained a party of friends at an oyster supper Saturday evening, those present besides Mr. and Mrs. Troutman being Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Geo, A. Mills, Mr. and Mrs. John Troutman and family and Mrs. Lou Stull. On Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Hill entertained the same party at dinner. The many friends of H. Clay Kellogg of Santa Ana will be pleased to learn that he is rapidly regaining his aftertime robust health, after a lengthy siege of illness. Mr. Kellogg is one of the foremost civil engineers in the State and in the past has supervised many projects of importance and carried them to a successful termination. Owing to the serious illness of his mother-in-law, Lieut. R. F. Stock, who is now stationed at Washington, secured leave of absence and telegraphed his wife that he would reach San Bernardino Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey Stock received word to this effect a day or two ago, and expect to see him in Anaheim some time this week. Prof. Frank Walker, former principal of the Anaheim Union High School has been promoted to the position of vice-principal of the Arizona State Normal School at Flagstaff, Arizona. Prof. Walker has been at the head of the mathematics department at this THINK STRAIGHT This is a time for straight thinking. Make sure the other fellow is not talking drivel. Analyze his thought, don't follow it. He may be suffering with phraseologic hemorrhage. It is epidemic now-a-days like influenza and much more serious. For instance in regard to the Victory Liberty Loan and these fellows who thumb their vests, frown wisely, and say "Let the banks do it. They are bursting with money." They are talking drivel. It sounds fine but it isn't good sense. Nor is it good economics, which amounts to the same thing. If the government thought it was wise to "let the banks do it," the government would let them do it. There would be no Victory Liberty Loan in the popular sense. But the government knows better than to let the banks do it. This is the period of reconstruction right now. It is a period of many possibilities economically. One possibility is industrial depression. One preventative of industrial depression is plenty of money at favorable rates of interest to stimulate private enterprise. That means our banks must not be clogged with government securities. It means that we can't afford to "let the banks do it." The people must do it—do it from their earnings, present and future. Think straight. Support the Victory Liberty Loan. Prof. Frank Walker, former principal of the Anaheim Union High School has been promoted to the position of vice-principal of the Arizona State Normal School at Flagstaff, Arizona. Prof. Walker has been at the head of the mathematics department at this school for the past three years. His excellent work in this department and his gift of leadership have won for him this merited promotion. Robert E. Corcoran of Fullerton was a visitor in town a few days ago, having just returned from an extended business trip to points in the northern part of the State. Mr. Corcoran is employed as a travelling salesman for Pioneer Paper Company, of which firm he has been a valued attache for many years. Mr. Corcoran and family formerly were residents of this city, but recently took up their residence in Fullerton. Robert McKee came down from Whi-ttier the first of the week to look after interests in this region and greet old friends, he says that caused him to purchase a five-acre ranch within three quarters of a mile of the Chapman oil well just before that gusher was brought in, but he is going to reap the benefit of a stroke of luck. His ranch is undoubtedly oil land, and big companies are flirting with him and making him fascinating offers, but he has not yet signed a lease. A bonus of one thousand dollars per acre and one-sixth of the output has been offered him by one company. The New April Styles In "Wirthmor" Waists . $1.50 And "Welworth" Blouses . $2.50 Are On Sale Now Styles and Qualities Better Than Ever! Falkenstein's Department Store Better Than Ever! Falkenstein's Department Store The central location of Anaheim, her excellent railroad facilities, her network of highways to every portion of Southern California and an abundant supply of pure water and natural gas, together with a year-round climate, makes Anaheim the ideal location for new manufacturing enterprises. Every inducement will be held out to the manufacturer seeking an ideal location. There is no business in the world more healthful and interesting than the raising of oranges. Neither is there any business of similar investment more profitable than orange growing in that section of California where conditions are naturally and abundantly present for the successful and economical raising of a high grade of fruit. Not all orange groves are profitable and not all sections where you see orange trees growing are adapted to the successful production of fruit from a commercial standpoint. In some sections of the orange belt of California, in recent years, smudge pots were fired night after night to keep the fruit from freezing. This great handicap of expense cost them an average of a hundred and thirty-five dollars per acre. In the frostless section around Anaheim the orange growers did not fire any smudge pots; in fact, this is something they never find it necessary to do. You will find no smudge pots in the Anaheim district. The total cost per year for the care of the average orange grove in the Anaheim district is not more than $67.50 per acre—one-half what it costs for smudging alone in less favored sections of the state. The stability and prosperity of the citrus industry in the United States, especially in California and particularly in the Anaheim district is primarily due to the fact that the citrus fruit growers are better organized than other agricultural industries. Anaheim is particularly well equipped to take care of the harvesting and packing of close by, make the city a mecca for the tourist. The Anaheim Board of Trade is a live organization and maintained for the purpose of locating the manufacturer, homeseeker or tourist. Anaheim is a good city to live in or to invest money in. In California, Anaheim is known as a "live one." Seeing is believing and Anaheim will welcome the new arrival. BANK AT ARTESIA LOOTED BY ROBBERS Thieves Break Open the Vault and Make a Rich Haul. Cracksmen made a good haul Monday night when they looted the First National Bank of Artesia, carrying away Liberty Bonds, thrift stamps, and cash to the amount of $25,000. An acetylene flame was used to burn open the door of the vault. Most of the loot taken was from safety deposit boxes. A safe containing $25,000 in cash resisted the efforts of the robbers although they made an effort to break into it. The burglars drove into Artesia between three and four o'clock in the morning. They left the machine in the school house yard. A resident in the neighborhood saw them abandon the car and notified Constable Freeman. Accompanied by a couple of deputies he watched the car, thinking the men would return, but hearing them drive away in another car which they had stolen, the officers gave chase, and pressed the thieves so closely that they abandoned the auto and took to the brush, reaching the bed of the San Gabriel river. DANGER IN HARD WORK "Why don't you get out and hustle?" Anaheim district is not more than $67.50 per acre—one-half what it costs for smudging alone in less favored sections of the state. The stability and prosperity of the citrus industry in the United States, especially in California and particularly in the Anaheim district is primarily due to the fact that the citrus fruit growers are better organized than other agricultural industries. Anaheim is particularly well equipped to take care of the harvesting and packing of the oranges raised here, having several co-operative associations, each with its packing plant. The English walnut has found such congenial conditions in the cool, moist climate of Orange County that over two million dollars' worth of the wholesome nuts are produced annually. Within the last few years the walnut industry has been enhanced nearly one hundred fold by the introduction of new varieties and new methods of cultivation. In the vicinity of Anaheim they are now planting almost exclusively, new and tested varieties, with the assurance of a regular income, not only for the growers, but for their children and children's children. Forty thousand acres are devoted to bean culture in Orange County and the $2,000,000 coming from this crop adds much to home life conditions and the automobile dealer smiles when the bean harvest begins. To the tourist or homeseeker, Anaheim will be a revelation. Low cost of living midst beautiful surrounding, splendid stores, pure water and modern living conditions, make Anaheim the Home City par-excellence. Modern hotels, apartment houses and homes ready for occupancy, together with fine roads for motoring and the ocean and other scenic attractions DANGER IN HARD WORK "Why don't you get out and hustle? Hard work never killed anybody," remarked the philosophical gentleman to whom Rastus applied for a little charity. "You're mistaken dar, boss," replied Rahtus. "I see lost fouah wives dat way." SWANNER HOMEWARD BOUND A wire received Monday from Lieutenant Charles D. Swanner brought a world of relief to his relatives here, who had heard nothing from him since he cabled from France on February 22. "Homeward bound," was what the cable of February 22 said. No further word came, and it was feared that he had been taken ill and was in a hospital somewhere. "Arrived safe and well" is the wording of the tlegram that was received by Mrs. Swanner yesterday. Evidently Lieutenant Swanner reached New York with the Fortieth Division, with which division he trained at Camp Kearny and went to France. He was transferred to another division and got into the fighting a few days before the armistice was signed. He was gassed. It is now believed that his health is better then was at first reported.
