STORE The Brea Knights of Pythias lodge is making preparations to entertain all the knights of the county on Tuesday, October 7. Al Borak Temple, Knights of Khorassan of Los Angeles will have charge of the entertainment. The D. O. K. K. band will accompany the knights from Los Angeles. John Selinger has bought some pedigree rabbits and will raise them as a sideline on his Orangethorpe ranch, as a means of swatting the high cost of living. Charles Brown, who is also an enthusiastic Belgian hare fancier has quite an extensive pen of the animals which he raises for food and fur. When the Anaheim fire department started forth in response to an alarm shortly before daylight Wednesday morning a robust blaze was seen in the north, indicating to the minds of the fire fighters that the Anaheim Beef & Provision Company's packing house or the sugar factory was on fire. The nearer they approached, however, the farther the blaze receded, and it finally dawned upon the boys that they were headed for the forest fire on the mountain range forty miles away. They stopped at the city limits and waited, but the flames refused to come within reach of their hose. The Placentia Courier man pokes fun at people who are predicting another visitation from the flu, and ad- Ranchers along Magnolia avenue have started a movement to obtain pavement for the two miles between Orangethorpe avenue and Lincoln avenue. Without exception, the twenty-five ranchers living along this road are said to be ready and anxious to have the improvement put in. They will ask the county immediately to proceed with the work, stating that they are ready to pay their share of the paving upon the same basis as similar improvements have been made elsewhere recently. The syndicate fish markets, which will be built adjoining their large dock at Newport, just completed, are ready for the concrete work, enough sand having been placed on the site to build the cement floors upon. The plans of the organization are to construct a cement wall around the location and lay solid concrete floors, making the best possible sanitary conditions, and cheaper than the original plans of first laying a supporting deck for the cement. The case against S. E. Jessup of Orange, charged by Charles Wallace, a driver for the Crown Stage, with issuing a no-fund check for $3.75, was dismissed in the justice court. The court held Jessup had no intention of defrauding Wallace. Adam F. Zaiser, assistant cashier of the First National Bank, testified that Jessup had had an account at the bank for a long time, and that he had more than sufficient At the request of Horowitz of Los Angles Judge Williams granted until October 3 at 9 o'clock matter of the arraignment Lujon, charged with a suit against Braulina Garcia.

We deduce from this that Rideout escaped the demon when he was raging in this section last winter. "He jests at scars who never felt a wound." People who passed through the ordeal, or lost friends, are not likely to forget and will immediately listen to the physician when he advises precautionary measures. It is to be hoped the warnings are unnecessary, but it is unwise to rely on Providence or trust to luck and make no effort to meet the enemy until he is in our midst. J. W. Sackett who has been in poor health for several months past is now well on the way to recovery. As a result of his illness he has been troubled with insomnia, but a recent trip to San Francisco afforded him relief, the change of climate being beneficial. Mr. Sackett was up town a few days ago from his home on Lincoln avenue and met many friends who were glad to see him. Bill confided to his intimate cronies that he intends to "remain on this earth for quite a while and when he cashes in it will be the last thing he will do." Call again, Bill, we're always glad to see you. The case against S. E. Jessup of Orange, charged by Charles Wallace, a driver for the Crown Stage, with issuing a no-fund check for $3.75, was dismissed in the justice court. The court held Jessup had no intention of defrauding Wallace. Adam F. Zalser, assistant cashier of the First National Bank, testified that Jessup had had an account at the bank for a long time, and that he had more than sufficient funds there at the present time to cover the amount in question. With three motion picture companies having outfits on location at Balboa, there is much to interest beach residents at the beach city these days. The three-masted vessel, the Tremont, owned by the New York Motion Picture Corporation, was towed to the entrance of the bay late last week, where it became lodged on a sand-bar. Efforts are being made to float the vessel. Pictures are being taken at Balboa and surrounding points by Universal and Sunshine Comedy. Gus Langenberger has gone to San Francisco, where he owns property interests, and is now a resident of that city. His aunt, Mrs. Lehnebach, who has resided here for nine years past, departed on Tuesday for San Francisco, where she will reside with Mr. Langenberger. The latter's fine orchard at the corner of Sycamore and Lemon streets, has been purchased by Frederick Seamers for $60,000. Mr. Langenberger contemplates disposing of his property in San Francisco, and will probably make a trip to Honolulu, after which he will make an extended tour of Europe. Along to enliven the public the peppy kind of music was made from the boo'clock in the morning; ing route was through Garden Grove, Buena Vista La Habra, Brea, Olin Placentia. The party re-about 1 o'clock, remain until 2. Then the after started, the route lying Orange, El Modena, Tunnel Delhi, Newport, Balboa view, Greenville, and T. PRESBYTERIAN Rev. C. B.

Friday and Saturday of this week Falkenstein's department store will have its fall opening. An invitation is extended to all the ladies to call and see the latest styles on display. Superior Judge Williams has granted Erika A. Vermeulen an interlocutory decree of divorce from Fred W. Vermeulen. Head and Rutan were attorneys for the plaintiff. Head & Ingram have announced that beginning last night the New Grand theatre will be open every night hereafter as in former days. This will be good news to the people living on the east side of town, and it is to be hoped the patronage will be large enough to make the venture profitable to the managers. They expect to present only the best pictures, and we predict the Grand will become once more a popular house. Ed Roberts, stock buyer for the Anaheim Beef and Provision Co., has returned home from Utah and Nevada, where he went to purchase Personal Mention Mr. and Mrs. R. J. McFadden moved to Sierra Madre on Tuesday afternoon, where they will make their future home for the benefit of their little daughter's health.

Archer Fay continues to improve from his recent severe illness of pneumonia, and is able to leave his bed and be about the house. He will probably be out again in the near future. He is convalescing nicely, and it is hoped will soon be restored to his usual health. Supervisor Schumacher was in town from Buena Park yesterday. He states that considerable damage has been done to the beans in his neighborhood by the heavy rains of the past week.

At the request of Attorney Fred Horowitz of Los Angeles, Superior Judge Williams granted a continuance until October 3 at 9 o'clock in the matter of the arraignment of Calistro Lujon, charged with a statutory offence against Braulina Garcia, 12 years old. City Engineer Steward has been making a survey of the streets preliminary to re-numbering the houses. The entire system will probably be changed, and one of these days you will be given a number that does not correspond with the present figures on your house. Some of the changes are radical, too. For instance the present address of the Gazette office is 409 East Center, but under the new system the number will be 317. Twenty automobiles, carrying appropriate banners and loaded with seventy-five Huntington Beach boosters Wednesday engaged in a tour of Orange county points in the interest of the Orange County Fair, to be held at Huntington Beach October 2-3-4.

A complaint at the office of the district attorney charges Ruth Spann, a negress, said to have a long criminal record, with the crime of grand larceny. The complaint was drawn up at Anaheim. It is alleged that on March 10 the defendant took $45 from John Bleeker. The present complaint supersedes one drawn up at that time, in which Ruth Spann was charged with robbery.

The carnival which was to have been given next Tuesday has been postponed for an indefinite period. The committee so decided at a meeting Monday night.

THE BUDGET SYSTEM Only within the last ten years has any recognition been given in this country to the importance of sound principles of budget making as a means of avoiding waste in public expenditures and of securing better service in public administration. In fact, the first thorough study of budgetary procedure to be made in this country was that produced in connection with an investigation of the appropriation methods of the national government by President Taft's commission on economy and efficiency, which was organized in 1911. As a result of the work of this commission Mr. Taft came out strongly for an executive budget and embodied his proposals in a message to congress on June 27, 1912. Although congress did not act favorably upon the President's recommendtions, their effect was not lost. Almost immediately the discussion occasioned by them spread to the states, with the result that the term "budget system" the man with the seedless fig. He not only claims he has figs without seeds, but he produces them. What is more, there is plenty of fig left in his variety after the seeds are gone. Mr. Bolinger states that the tree from which his seedless figs come was grown from a cutting he got in Redlands from a seedless tree more than twenty years old. The owner of the ranch on which this parent tree stands has been there eight years and he says that, although the tree has had an abundance of fruit each season, he has yet to see a fig with seeds. Where the tree came from originally is not known. Mr. Bolinger has sent several specimens of the fruit to Prof. Wickson, formerly of the State Horticultural Bureau, and to Prof. Condit of the University of California. He received replies from both saying that they had never seen such a fig before and were unable to classify either the fruit or the tree. They pronounced it a freak tree, although Mr. Bolinger has a couple of hundred trees now growing from cuttings tak- ASSESSMENTS OF RAILROADS The State Board of Equalization has assessed the physical values of the Railroads in California at a total of $176,357,547.00, an increase of about $3,000,000.00 over 1918.

HAS SEEDLESS FIG Comes now a boon to false teeth in the shape of a seedless fig. Who of those blessed with a set of "store teeth" will ever forget their first attempt to masticate a fig whose million (more or less) of little seeds persisted in getting up under the plate and taking all the pleasure out of the business? W. F. Bolinger, of Pomona, is organized in 1911. As a result of the work of this commission Mr. Taft came out strongly for an executive budget and embodied his proposals in a message to congress on June 27, 1912. Although congress did not act favorably upon the President's recommendations, their effect was not lost. Almost immediately the discussion occasioned by them spread to the states, with the result that the term "budget system" found a prominent place in party platforms and became a vital issue in state politics. Several of the states whose finances were in a depleted condition were already feeling keenly the need of a uniform system of control over their revenues and expenditures—a system which would correlate the two and establish definite administrative responsibility. Consequently they at once seized upon the idea of a budget system and embodied a form of budgetary procedure in their law. Because of only a meagre understanding of the principles of a correct budget system and, in some instances, because of political expediency the type of budget adopted did not always fix definite responsibility and the budgetary procedure provided was usually very incomplete.
