Gillette, who is employed by the Fullerton Ice Co., was seriously hurt at 6:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon, where it turns east toward Anaheim at the foot of South Spadra ave-helm. He was standing by the side of the road waiting for a stage when he was struck, it is said, by an automobile milk wagon belonging to Del Georg. His left shoulder was dislocated and his right leg broken above the knee.

A new surfacing is to be used on three miles of the Santa Ana canyon road. It is called Bitucrote. The work of laying the surfacing is to be done by the county roads maintenance department under the direction of Superintendent Nat Neff and County Surveyor McBride. The surfacing consists of asphaltum and crushed rock. The surfacing hitherto used on most county and state roads has been oil and rock. The asphaltum is to be applied hot to the concrete base, and then the rock, heated in a dry heater, will be spread hot. This makes a firm surface. The county has tried out some of this paving on North Lemon street, Anaheim, and found it highly satisfactory. While the coming bond election was under discussion at the board of trade meeting Monday night, City Trustee Backs made the statement that the trustees considered themselves under a moral obligation to purchase the library block for a city park in case the bonds were voted.

CHEAP DOLLAR IS CAUSE OF HIGH LIVING COSTS Urge Credits be Lessened and Inflation Stopped so Normal Conditions May Return. Republican financial authorities in Congress have been forming definite conclusions as to the high cost of living after a careful analysis of all the conditions and have come to the conclusion that it is due mainly to the cheapening of the dollar, combined with six year of lack on the part of the Administration of attempt to find a remedy. Thus Chairman Fess, of the Republican Congressional Committee, points out that there should be a gradual contraction of credits in order to bring prices down as soon as possible. Representative Madden of Illinois, says: "We have already expended the currency about $13,000,000,000 by making loans to people who had to buy government bonds and who had not any money otherwise with which to buy them. More than ninety per cent of the 30,000,000 people who bought bonds did not have a dollar with which to pay. The banks had to loan to them. They had to take these bonds and put them up as collateral security with their own notes and get them rediscounted by the federal reserve banks. The federal reserve banks didn't have any money to loan and they had to issue federal reserve note currency—thirteen billions of expansion." In the course of his statement on the subject Madden was interrupted by Champ Clark, leader of his party on the floor and a supporter in 1896 of Bryan's dictum that the government stamp on a piece of leather would make it as valuable as a dollar." After the Civil War," A very pretty home wedding took place on Sunday, August 31, at high noon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Miller of Placentia, when Frank E. Holford of Taft and Mattie R. Turner of Anaheim were united in marriage with the impressive ring ceremony. The Rev. W. M. Perry of Fullerton officiated. They were attended by Evan Pugh of Anaheim as best man, and Miss Margarette Young of Placentia as bridesmaid. The bride was gowned in a dress of gray taffeta silk and carried a basket of red roses, while the groom was attired in the conventional black. The happy couple will leave soon for Taft, where the groom is emplied in the oil fields. H. P. Tobin, J. B. Lockwood, A. V. Vall, E. H. Heying and C. L. Head have purchased six acres set to 7-year-old oranges right in the heart of the oil district, lying between the Chapman and Kraemer wells. Eric Lamhofer, son of Dr. E. Lamhofer of Fullerton, arrived at home last week from overseas where he served his country in the great war. In company with his father he was in Anaheim last week greeting his many friends here.

Twenty-five guests were present and spent the evening dancing on the large veranda of the house. The home was tastefully decorated, and de- Market has made some substantial provisions to his meat market on North Los Angels street. A new glass front has been put in and the place otherwise repaired and renovated. Mr. Stroup has a fine business and an efficient force of meat cutters, who always strive to please customers. The sugar factory began its campaign Saturday, and for the next 80 days will be running night and day.

It is reported the building will be used as an auto paint shop. Two orchestras made music for the dance at the county park Tuesday evening. One was composed partially of Los Angeles players, but Harry Felling's corps are all Orange county musicians, and they are equal to the best. Felling's orchestra is engaged almost every night, sometimes going long distances to play for dances or entertainments. Irving Quarton and Henry Dalton left Saturday to begin a course in the Oregon state university at Corvallis. Irving will study engineering and Henry enters the forestry department. In the course of his statement on the subject Madden was interrupted by Champ Clark, leader of his party on the floor and a supporter in 1896 of Bryan's dictum that the government stamp on a piece of leather would make it valuable as a dollar. "After the Civil War," said Clark, "a dollar of paper money was worth somewhere between forty and sixty cents. Now a paper dollar is worth as much as the gold dollar." "The gold dollar," explained Madden, "is not circulating. The federal reserve notes alone are in circulation." It is recognized on the Republican side that the doubling of the production of gold before the war and the vast extension of credits during the since the war have cheapened the circulating medium so that it will buy but one-half of what it did before, but Republican members say the Democrats made the hypocritical pretense that they would reduce prices by doing away with the protective tariff; that this only took away the power to compete with Europe in production and in 1913 hundreds of thousands were thrown out of employment; that the true way to reduce prices fundamentally is by boosting the value of the circulating medium, as Dr. Fess says, by contracting credits, and that until this is done the problem will not be wholly solved, though everything possible should be done to prevent hoarding and to stimulate production. Mrs. J. W. Truxaw, assisted by Mrs. Daly of Buena Park, were hostesses at a party given to a large crowd of young people at the Truxaw home on South Los Angeles street last Thursday night. Twenty-five guests were present and spent the evening dancing on the large veranda of the house. The home was tastefully decorated, and delicious refreshments were served by the hostesses. Wesley Almes has sold his 12-acre ranch on the corner of Placentia and Chapman avenues to Robert McKee for a consideration, it is said by good authority, of $50,000. The 12 acres are partly in oranges and partly in walnuts. There are also two good dwelling houses on it. The old Placentia store building, on the corner belongs to M. H. Peeler. Mr. Almes has been building a handsome residence in Fullerton for his niece, Miss Lucy Almes, and her sister and family, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Harker and son. The new home is almost completed and will be occupied in about two weeks. Almes is one of the oldest settlers around this part of the country—Tribune.

TO PRINT WAR PHOTOS Representative Julius Kahn of California, the Republican chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs, who put through the draft law when S. I. Dent, of Alabama, the then Democratic chairman failed to do so, has introduced a bill to give the people of the country a chance to see in pictures in book form what their boys have done in France during the war. The resolution directs that the Secretary of War be authorized to arrange for the printing, publication and distribution in book form of selected war photographs now in the possession of the War Department, the photographs to be arranged as nearly as possible in the chronological order of the events, activities and developments which they portray. Publication is to be in the hands of the historical branch of the War Plans Division of the General Staff. Bids will be asked for the printing and then the book will be sold at cost; the printing to be done by rotogravure process. It is likely that more than one volume will be issued and even that a set of several will be needed to carry the pictorial history of the war. "The most dangerous of all common hedgerow plants is the aconite or monk's hood, which has palm-shaped leaves. A very small dose causes a strange tingling all over the body, and partial blindness. A little more and death is certain. "These are all plants which are more or less attractive to the eye. There are others which seem to advertise themselves as dangerous. The hemlock, for instance. If you pinch a leaf it gives out a nasty, mousy odor. One need hardly state that it is very poisonous, being a powerful narcotic. The sufferer sinks into a drowsy state, which, if remedies are not at hand, ends in death. "All the nightshades have a sinister appearance and should be avoided altogether. There are also many common shrubs of which the leaves, if eaten, produce unpleasant results Among these are the common privet, the elder, holly and laburnum. "Plant-tree leaves will cause in some people an illness resembling a bad attack of hay fever, and this not through chewing, but merely handling them. The eyes become red and swollen, while nose and throat are sore and inflamed. "Quite a number of plants are possessed of short hairs in their stems or leaves, which will cause a rash to break out upon sensitive skins. One DANGEROUS PLANTS "It is rather alarming to realize that a number of the wild flowers of which we are all so fond contain deadly poisons," says an article in "Nature's Trail" in the Boy Scout magazine, Boys' Life. "The dafodil is an instance in point long, narrow leaves contain a powerful irritant poison, and children should be warned most strongly against chewing them. "The common foxglove contain a poison which has the most extraordinary effect upon the heart, whose action may be reduced to only 17 beats per minute. Of any one thus poisoned, the pubils of the eyes are widely dilated, and his only chance of life will lie absolutely still until the doctor comes. "Everyone knows the wild arum or cuckoo-plant, with its big heart-shaped, glossy leaves. A most dangerous plant it is, too. If you chew a leaf your tongue swells enormously; so much so that you will be almost unable to swallow. Melted butter is the best remedy for poisoning by this plant." Plant-tree leaves will cause in some people an illness resembling a bad attack of hay fever, and this not through chewing, but merely handling them. The eyes become red and swollen, while nose and throat are sore and inflamed. "Quite a number of plants are possessed of short hairs in their stems or leaves, which will cause a rush to break out upon sensitive skins. One such is the Primula obconica, which is one of the commonest pot plants in greenhouse or on window sills. "Bulbs of the Roman hyacinth are covered with a sort of light scale, which comes off on the hands and sets up an unpleasant irritation which sometimes spreads up the arms. "Many who work in conservatories or glass houses often find that hyacinths cause severe eye trouble. The idea is that the pollen is the irritating cause."
