STORE Ed Marion, Orange county manager for the Ryan Fruit Company, says the first shipment of sweet potatoes and tomatoes from Garden Grove started on Thursday. This company estimates they will ship from Garden Grove about 150 cars of sweet potatoes and a large acreage of tomatoes this season. Santa Fe avenue, Placentia, will soon be able to boast of a new brick building. A. S. Bradford has approved the plans submitted and instructed Contractor W. E. Stradley to "go ahead." The new structure will adjoin the bank building, with a pressed brick front to match and plate glass windows. It will be an office building, especially fitted to be occupied by a physician and dentist. Two rooms for each, and a common waiting room will be provided, and all will be fitted with modern conveniences. It will be a one-story building but will be so constructed that it can be made a part of the bank building whenever the bank finds it necessary to enlarge. Failing last October in an effort to kill himself, Leopold Matzler Monday morning made another attempt at suicide, and succeeded in his purpose. His body was found hanging to a tree at the lower end of the county farm, where he has lived most of the time since 1912. Matzler was 78 years old, a native of Germany, without known relatives in this country. For twenty five years he had lived in and around Anaheim. Last October at Anaheim he slashed his throat from ear to ear with a razor, and at the same time tried to open arteries on his wrists. He recovered from his self-inflicted wounds. Monday morning he arose early at the county farm, and slipped away. Later his body was found. Mrs. W. L. Russell, mother of Mrs. H. A. Hawley, died at St. Johnsbury, Vt., some days ago, according to a dispatch received by Mrs. Hawley. Mr. and Mrs. Russell left here some weeks ago on a visit to relatives in Vermont. Johnny Schroff has sold his ranch east of town to B. Hartfield. Mr. and Mrs. Schroff expect to pay a visit to relatives in Missouri shortly. Fullerton was the first city in Orange county to order a carload of bacon from the government. It was ordered direct from the secretary of war, and now other cities contemplate following suit. Fullerton expects Anaheim to help dispose of it. In company with City Engineer Steward, Dr. L. M. Powers, health officer of Los Angeles county, W. T. Knowlton, superintendent of sewers of Los Angeles, and Major Smith, a government expert on sanitation, visited the Anaheim sewer farm last Thursday and inspected the septic tank. These gentlemen found no fault in the plant, and stated it is managed in a satisfactory manner. The Greenberg Cut Rate Store was victimized Saturday evening by a check artist. A stranger purchased $2 worth of merchandise at the store and presented a $16 check drawn on a bank at Orange and signed by J. J. King. The check was made payable to Henry Davis, with which name he endorsed it, received $14 in change, and left promising to call for his purchase later. He failed to return, and Mr. Greenberg discovered Monday that there was no money in the bank to the credit of J. J. King.

Monday morning he arose early at the county farm, and slipped away. Later his body was found. Salvador Correa, residing on Center street, Anaheim, was taken to Fullerton and treated by a physician for a few cuts on his head and some bruises about the body as a result of his automobile turning a flip-flop on the highway near Richfield. Correa, with a companion, was attempting to drive around a small truck which was loaded with furniture and household goods, the property of Tenior Reymaso of Ontario, who was driving when the Correa auto struck the sand and turned bottom side up, crushing the top of the auto and otherwise smashing the car. Correa telephoned to the marshal's office at Fullerton to arrest the man driving the furniture truck. He was detained by City Marshal Myers, and after making his statement was released on his promise to return. Correa stated that the truck refused to give the road but this the truck driver denies. Mrs. George A. Mills writes to her husband that her visit in Iowa is drawing to a close and she will be at home again, shortly. Iowa, she says, is a good state in which to raise corn and hogs; but as a place of habitation for human beings it can't compare with California. Robert Wilson and Mr. and Mrs. W. E. McCann have returned from Gilman Springs, San Jacinto, where they spent ten days drinking the medicated water and bathing in it. Anaheim was pretty well represented at the springs when they left, among the local people being Judge J. S. Howard, Chief of Police Wood, Dr. and Mrs. Gifford; Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Henderson and Mrs. Dr. Paschal, Prof. J. A. Clayes, wife and son, and Mrs. W. E. Alexander. Last Friday was Mr. Wilson's birthday, and somebody must have wised the hotel cook to the fact, as he built a huge cake ornamented with 67 wax candles in honor of the occasion. Then everybody shook hands with Mr. Wilson and told him be looked extremely young for his age. County Sealer of Weights and Measures McPhee will attend a school to begin August 27.

State Tax Appraiser Anderson has filed an inheritance tax report in the estate of Pierre Nicolas. The estate according to the report is valued at $199,911.12. Property at Fullerton, Anaheim and in Imperial Valley was left by the deceased. Light is shed by George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures, on the cause of high prices of strawberries. McPhee, who comes into contact with Japanese berry growers perhaps more than any one man in this district, says that for one thing strawberries are not being grown as abundantly as in former years. Another reason for high prices, in his belief, is that it is now costing the growers, at least the Japanese, 90 cents a crate to get their berries picked, while a few years ago they were able to deliver their product at 45 cents a crate. McPhee reports comparatively few violations of the law at present as far as the weight of berry boxes is concerned. Mrs. O. D. Brehman and Cecil Brehman are guests at the home of M. A. Andrews, having stopped off for a visit on their way home to San Francisco. They have been spending the summer A Mexican giving the name of Joe Johnson and claiming to have no home, was struck at Fullerton by passenger train No. 51, west-bound, on the Santa Fe, Wednesday. He was struck on the right shoulder and hurled to the ground, being badly bruised, but it is believed no bones were broken. He was picked up by the train crew and brought to the station and given medical attention. There was a freight pulling out in the opposite direction and Johnson stepped over on the passenger track, walking in the same direction in which the train was traveling. The train was going at a slow rate of speed or the man might have been killed. Representing Orange county's half of the receipts from motor vehicle registrations during the first half of the present year, a check for $45,213.26 has been received by County Auditor W. C. Jerome. The receipts for the same period last year were approximately $36,000. The money will be apportioned among the five supervisorial districts for use in road improvement. C. C. Chapman of Fullerton gave members of the big Pacific fleet a real treat in the way of fifty boxes of oranges from his groves, they being the finest grown anywhere in the state. The fleet boys thoroughly enjoyed them.

The body of Miss Flossie Quillin, who died at Merced, arrived in Fulerton Wednesday afternoon last. The funeral was held from the McAuley undertaking chapel Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. Miss Quillin formerly resided in Fulerton and has a number of dear friends who were pained to learn of her untimely death. Mrs. Ola Swan of Fullerton, and Mrs. Leona Thomas of Brea, are sisters of the deceased. Fires will probably be started for the 1919 campaign at the sugar factory some time next week. The company has been having some difficulty securing a sufficient force, but that problem has finally been met and the big mill will open with a force of nearly 300 persons, 60 of them being women. Last year was the first season women were employed in sugar making and the experiment was so successful that Manager Jessurun increased the number this year. Owing to a shortage of beets the campaign this year is expected to last only about 80 days, which is nearly a month shorter than the previous year. The beets, it is said, are of good quality, however, the sugar percentage being heavy. L. V. Bowers was so unfortunate to slip and fall several days ago when stepping off the running board of his machine in front of his place of business on East Center street. The ligaments in his left thigh and hip were torn and he suffered considerable pain for several days. He is now able to Papers necessary for the transfer of the Columbia Oil Company of Fullerton to the Commonwealth Oil Company are being prepared by attorneys in Los Angeles, it was stated Friday.

They Commonwealth company owns 1054 acres in fee, 3608 acres of mineral rights and leases, and 198 acres in the Brea canyon, Puente hills and Olinda districts of the Fullerton field. One hundred and ten wells are producing from 85,000 to 100,000 barrels of oil monthly for the company. The second amendment to the articles of incorporation of the Anaheim Products Company, formerly the Union-Brewing Company of Anaheim, is on file. The original articles were filed in March of this year and a first amendment was filed on June 25.

The directors and trusees are Anton Hessel of Los Angeles, John Bauer, William Fluhrer and Tony Hessel of Anaheim and Eva Hessel of Los Angeles. The Franciscan Fathers of California, a corporation, in a petition on file ask leave to sell a house and lot at Anaheim. The petition, which was prepared by Attorney Clyde Bishop sets forth that the Fathers own the property, subject to a life estate of Lena Kraemer, who is housekeeper for Father Sands, a Roman Catholic priest. Father Sands has moved to Santa Barbara, the petition states, and it is desired to sell the property to Albert and Frieda Vail in order that other property may be bought at Santa Barbara. Joseph Hatfield was in the city yesterday, coming down from Los Angeles on an early train, and heard the expression of universal sorrow on the finest grown anywhere in the state. The fleet boys thoroughly enjoyed them. Mr. and Mrs. Guy Duckworth are on the way here from Honolulu, and expect to reach Anaheim the latter part of the week. They will probably spend six weeks visiting friends here. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Stark contemplate a trip to Wisconsin in a few weeks to be absent for a couple of months.

Mr. Bowers is thinking of going to the hot springs for a couple of weeks. Mexican laborers are drifting into town in herds and flocks, presumably to work at the sugar factory during the coming campaign. They are all decently clothed and look prosperous. Quick work by firemen on the Union Oil lease at Brea resulted in the quenching of a blaze which threatened to envelop two 500-gallon gasoline tanks. But for determined action on the part of the fire-fighters, a big explosion which might have had disastrous results would have occurred. Workmen were burning out a sump hole; in which a scum of crude oil had collected. Shortly after this oil had been ignited, the flames leaped quickly, in a thin stream, up a hill in the direction of the gasoline tanks, indicating that one of the tanks was leaking. The Union Oil Company's chemical automobile rushed to the scene and quickly had the flames under control, though firemen had to put the flames out three times before they were finally subdued. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance. Joseph Hatfield was in the city yesterday, coming down from Los Angeles on an early train, and heard the expression of universal sorrow on the part of his many friends for the loss of his oldest son, Floyd Hatfield, who met death while fumigating in a Placentia orchard on Sunday evening. Floyd had been in France with the American forces for nearly a year and had returned a month before he met his untimely death. He was a young man of splendid traits of character, and his death is mourned by all who knew him. Mr. Hatfield telegraphed his son, Capt. Leon Hatfield, who is at an army camp in Georgia, telling him the sad news, and Leon has left to be present at the funeral, which will occur on Monday next from McAulay's undertaking parlors at Fullerton. Mr. and Mrs. Hatfield have the sincere sympathy of their many friends over the untimely loss of their son, who was a popular favorite with legions of friends throughout Orange county. Mrs. G. H.

CAUGHT ON THE WING plenty of shade, a bountiful and constant supply of pure water and a liberal allowance of green feed are a trio that fowls appreciate during these warm summer days. The exhibition birds at fall fairs should now be selected and given special attention. In warm weather vigor and vitality is essential to birds cooped up. Close confinement is enervating, and moon produces flabbiness. Hence select strong and robust specimens free from disqualifications. If through with your breeding operations remove the male bird from the females. Infertile eggs keep better and are to be preferred on that account. If in the market for birds buy now and buy quick. Good stock is in demand while the supply is somewhat limited. It is good economy to dispose of the light producers before the flock enters the mounting season, and to cull down close, thereby reducing the feed bills. Hot weather and filthy quarters are the delight of lice and mites. A hen cannot produce liberally unless reasonably free from vermin and in the enjoyment of congenial surroundings. It is good practice to separate within reasonable limits the growing stock according to Smaller chicks should not be crowded from the feeding troughs nor harried by the stronger and older ones. Day-old chicks will no longer be accepted as parcel post by the Postoffice Department for transmission to Canada. The refusal of the Canadian postal authorities to accept chicks for transmission resulted from the many claims brought against the department by those who claimed that their chicks had died en route.
