Anaheim Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter OWING YOUR OWN HOME The man who rids himself of paying rent is the man who in course of time will own his own home. Not only that, but, if he begins early in life, saves his money and perseveres he will when middle age overtakes him own several houses, income from which will materially assist him in making his living in his declining years. The constant outflow of money in rentals, month after month, amounts to a prodigious sum in the course of a few years, yet statistics show that a large percentage of people live in rented houses. The man who will save his money and purchase stock in a loan and building association is the man who will forever absolve himself from the monthly visits of the rent collector. He will live in just the kind of a house he desires, will have it built according to plans suggested by himself, and by paying small monthly sums to the association, will in the course of a few years obtain a title to the property. The money which he pays the association is in considerable part applied to payment upon his stock and as this sum accumulates with the passing years, he receives the benefit Chairman Talbert appeared and assumed the duties of Chairman in the place of Supervisor Finley, chairman pro tem. Bids were received for the improvement of Santa Ana Canyon road, sections 1 and 2, and the contract awarded to Steele Finley for $36,211.93. Fumigating licenses were ordered issued to J. H. Parker, George A. Fenwick, Wm. J. Oelke and G. E. Huntington, on recommendation of the Horticultural Commissioner. The County Auditor was directed to draw warrants for payment of election officers, rental of polling places, and fees for delivering election returns for election held on July 1, 1919, in accordance with certified list presented by the County Clerk. The price of all county advertising was fixed at $0.40 for the first insertion and $0.20 for all subsequent insertions, per square of 234 ems non-pareil solid. The chairman was authorized to sign a lease with J. W. McCormac for the term of one year and nine months at $40.00 per month, for two rooms at the corner of Church and Main streets, said rooms to be used by the County Superintendent of Schools. The Clerk was ordered to publish a notice of the intention of the Board to purchase on August 5, 1919, at 10 a.m. the following described real property: Lot 4. Block "A", Spurgeon's Addition to the City of Santa Ana, from Agnes K. Anderson and W. W. Anderson, for $3750.00; Lot 7. Block 22, Town of Santa Ana from Mrs. Mary Ellen Copeland for $4000.00; Lot 5. Block "A", Spurgeon's Addition to Santa Ana from Emma C. True and Jas. S. True for $7750.00. West 80 feet of Lot 10. Block 32 Town of Santa Ana forever absolve himself from the monthly visits of the rent collector. He will live in just the kind of a house he desires, will have it built according to plans suggested by himself, and by paying small monthly sums to the association, will in the course of a few years obtain a title to the property. The money which he pays the association is in considerable part applied to payment upon his stock and as this sum accumulates with the passing years, he receives the benefit of accruing interest, for this money in turn is loaned to other borrowers, who use it to erect homes for themselves. He will never be called upon by his landlord for an increase in rental, nor will he ever be asked to move, when other homes are hard to obtain, because the house he lives in has been sold. He will be master of his own destiny, so far as his home is concerned, and will be contented, prosperous and happy. Money paid for rent will never return. It amounts to a large sum with each passing year, and before one knows it his payments for rent mount up into the thousands. The man who stops this constant outflow of his resources is the man who in a few years will own his own home, while the man who continues to pay rent will have nothing to show for it except his monthly receipts from the landlord. Anaheim has a sound and flourishing savings loan and building association, which loans money on easy terms to men and women who desire to erect their own homes. Of this association C. F. Grim is president and F. A. Backs, Jr., secretary. A call upon them will bring one all necessary information, but those who seek this information had better take our advice, stop paying rent, obtain a loan from the association, and get a home on Easy Street at the earliest possible opportunity. Next Tuesday the second payment upon Victory bonds will be due to be paid by those who are buying on insigned for ten per cent was the first stallments. When the bonds were payment.

Anaheim people are interested in the progress of the Heffern well which is a notice of the intention of the Board to purchase on August 5, 1919, at 10 a.m. the following described real property: Lot 4, Block "A", Spurgeon's Addition to the City of Santa Ana, from Agnes K. Anderson and W. W. Anderson, for $3750.00; Lot 7, Block 22, Town of Santa Ana from Mrs. Mary Ellen Copeland for $4000.00. Lot 5, Block "A", Spurgeon's Addition to Santa Ana from Emma C. True and Jas.

Gifford to lay pipe line across the county road as per petition on file was granted, said pipe line not to interfere with county road work. Road District Improvement No. 3 was formed to take the place of Orangethorpe Road District, to pave 2.36 miles of Orangethorpe avenue, and J. L. McBride was designated by the Board to prepare specifications for said work, his compensation being fixed at $250.00. Road District Improvement No. 4 was formed to pave certain portions of S. Glassell street, Fairhaven avenue and North Grand avenue, and J. L. McBride was designated by the Board to prepare specifications for said work, to serve without compensation. The map of Tract No. 89 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. Los Alamitos road was accepted as improved by the Redondo Construction Company. Warrant No. 4746 for $12.50 payable to Nattie F. Wilson, was ordered cancelled, same being a duplicate. Helen Craemer was allowed $50.00 for compiling and typing statistical report. The salary of F. W. Slabaugh, purchasing agent, was fixed at $200 per month commencing July 1, 1919.

Those who desire to do so can complete their payments at any time. Anaheim people are interested in the progress of the Heffern well which is being drilled in the sandwash northeast of town by a company composed of local business men. The well is now 2550 feet. Work has been delayed on two or three occasions by accident, but all difficulties have been successfully overcome. There is little doubt the well will prove a producer after drilling a few hundred feet deeper, but the company is hoping for a gusher. This well, should it prove to be a good one, will bring in territory close to Anaheim, therefore it menas much to this community. The water company is manufacturing 36-inch cement pipe at its plant at Crowther's corner. This pipe will replace the open ditch on East Orange-thorpe avenue, which will be paved from the state highway to Placentia avenue. COUNTY TAKING CENSUS OF ANAHEIM TOWNSHIP Supervisors Make Slight Increase in Rate for Legal Advertising. S. A. Kassen was appointed to take the census of Anaheim Judicial Township, and his compensation fixed at $5.00 per day by the supervisors Wednesday. This action is taken in order to determine the salary to be drawn by justice of the peace and canstable. L. C. Yeoman is made the defendant in a damage suit filed by the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association, represented by Attorney J. R. Whittemore of Los Angeles. Yeoman, the complaint alleges, has control of five acres of orange trees at the intersection of Broadway and Loara street at West Anaheim, and in June, 1914, subscribed to the constitution and by-laws and became a member of the fruit association. One provision of the by-laws is that a stockholder is to pay to the association as damages the sum of fifty cents on each box of oranges sold otherwise than through the association. Between June 1 and 15, 1919, it is alleged, Yeoman harvested 800 packed boxes of fruit from his orchard and disposed of it otherwise than through the plaintiff association. At the rate of fifty cents a box, the association is suing for damages of $400. W. E. Russell and family spent the Fourth at Venice. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance. Health Insurance One of the distinctive qualities of food baked with Royal Baking Powder is wholesomeness. This is health insurance of such vital importance that millions of women bake at home just to be sure that Royal Baking Powder is used. Remember the adage—“Bake it with Royal and be sure.” ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure Made from Cream of Tartar derived from grapes Royal Contains No Alum— Leaves No Bitter Taste Absolutely Pure Made from Cream of Tartar derived from grapes Royal Contains No Alum— Leaves No Bitter Taste SUES FOR RECOVERY Herbert C. Clark traded twenty acres of good Orange county land for 520 acres in Missouri without seeing it. Now he's sorry, and through Attorney Eden and Koepsel has brought suit for rescission of the exchange contract. The defendant in the case is J. G. Delozier, and Clark has already deeded to Delozier his twenty-acre ranch in the Stanton-Cypress district. In April last, according to the complaint, the contract was entered into. Clark trading his twenty acres for 520 acres in Texas county, Missouri. The deal was made, he alleges, on Delozier's representations that 100 acres were in cultivation; 400 were capable of cultivation, that walnut timber on the place was worth $1000 and other timber $10,000 and that it had not been cut over, that the place was reasonably worth $15,000 and the lease would brigin in $1000 a year. Only just recently, Clark alleges was he able to get a reliable report on the Missouri property, and as a result of this report, he alleges that he is the victim of "false and fraudulent" representations, in that, he claims, only 60 acres are under cultivation, only 160 acres are capable of cultivation, all the good walnut timber has been cut off and there is none left to speak of. the timber is only worth $3,000, the place is reasonably worth only $5,000, and the crop this year is worthless and therefore the lease will not bring in $1,000 or anything. Clark asks rescission of the exchange contract and that Delozier be made to re-convey to Clark his twenty-acre Orange county ranch. ENTERTAIN AT WHIST A very delightful whist party was the one given by Miss Anna Ryan and Mrs. Alice Kennedy at their home, Ramona Villa on Thursday afternoon. Quantities of hydranglas with their delicate coloring were used as decorations. Dainty refreshments of salads, coffee ice-cream and cake were served after the game. Prizes of handsome shopping bags were awarded to Mrs. Fred Backs, Jr., and Mrs. Edgar Hartung for the highest scores. Misses Geraldine Dolan and Beryl Kennedy were the punchers. Those present were: Mrs. Ryan, Mrs. Alice Ryan Kennedy, Miss Anna Ryan, the hostesses and Mesdames R. Melrose, F. Backs Jr., Welborn Wallop, H. M. Adams, Earl Abbey, E. Borchert, J. Dwyer, W. A. Dolan, G. W. Closen, C. F. Grim, Leo Sheridan, R. H. Seale, A. B. McCord, J. S. Sheridan, F. A. Yungbluth, Edgar Hartung, Roger Dutton, M. J. Bradley, Henry Kuchel, R. J. McFadden, W. J. Cole, Misses Sophie and Marie Rimpau and Mrs. A. L. Lewis of Santa Fe Springs. FULL FORCE AT WORK The telephone strike appears to be ended, both the company and the strikers making concessions. At any rate Manager Beard of the local exchange announces that he now has a full force of girls at work, although some of them are as yet inexpensienced. Some of the striking girls accepted the company's compromise offer and returned to work under the new schedule, although it was not what they demanded. The girls struck for a graduated scale, with $4 per day as the maximum and $2 per day for beginners. Under the old scale, against which they rebelled, the highest wage was $13.50 per week, beginners getting $9. Realizing that this figure was too low the company arranged a new scale, placing the beginners pay at $10 per week with a maximum for experienced operators of $80 per month. Under this offer many have returned to work, and business is proceeding with very little interruption.
