BOYS' SUITS $8.50 to $22.50 And Everything Else a Real Lad Wears Complete Line Cadet Uniforms And Equipment The S. Q. R. Store The California Lima Bean Growers' Association has set its prices on this year's crop at 14.50 cents per pound for large limas, and 13 cents for "baby" limas, according to information made public by W. C. Jerome. The association stated in announcing its prices that while these prices are the highest that have ever been fixed at this time of the year, still the growers feel justified in the action taken in view of the fact that even at the prices set the majority of the growers will be unable to "break even" when the cost of production is taken into consideration. It is now estimated that this year's crop of large limas will be 500,000 bags, as against 1,725,000 bags last season. The Noll-Duckworth Tire and Vulcanizing Company is the newest firm to engage in business here, and announcement is made that it will open its doors about the first of the month. H. P. Noll and Ira Duckworth are the members of the firm. They have leased one of the rooms in the New Grand theatre building on East Center street which is being fitted up for the business. Herman Noll has been prominent in Anaheim business circles for many years, and is well known throughout the county. His partner, Ira Duckworth, comes from Los Angeles where he has lived for a couple of years past. He is a borther of J. W. Duckworth, and is already known to many people in this section. Walter Hochull reached home last Sunday from France, after an absence in the army of nearly two years. He was a volunteer in the quartermaster's department and was sent to Camp Johnston, Florida, from there being transferred to the scene of activity in At the annual conference of the German Methodist church held at Los Angeles last week, Rev. R. Zurbuchen, for the past three years in charge of the church here was transferred to the First church in Los Angeles, Rev. R. W. Tautenhahn of the Compton avenue church in Los Angeles being sent to Anaheim. During Rev. Zurbuchen's pastorate the Anaheim church has prospered and grown. More than twenty members were added during the past year, and the financial statement shows that $1175 was raised for the pastor's salary and $2141 for missionary work. The total receipts for the year were $3807.31, the total expenditures $3650.67. Anaheim will regret to see Rev. Zurbuchen leave, but he goes to a much better position. His new church is at the corner of Fifth and Olive, almost in the heart of the city. The Southern Counties Gas Company has been authorized by the Railroad Commission to issue $631,500 of its first mortgage 5½ per cent bonds, due May 1, 1936, the Commission stipulating that of these bonds, $261,906.52 may be issued for not less than 85 percent of face value plus accrued interest, and the proceeds used to pay current indebtedness due to expenditures of extensions, additions and betterments to the company's property. The remainder of the bonds, $369,593.48, are to be sold under the direction of the Commission. It has been stipulated by the company that no part of the proceeds of this bond sale is to be applied to the purchase price of the Ventura and Santa Barbara Gas properties recently bought by the Southern Counties Company.

Owens of Buena Park crashed into one of the big Valley stages Sunday morning at the intersection of Center and Los Angeles streets. The bus was just making the turn to the north when the other car going south bumped into the stage hitting it just back of the rear wheel. Owens' car was badly damaged by the impact while the bus only had a few dents in the rear fender. The Owens car was coming about 20 miles an hour and the driver evidently became confused and could not stop or turn to the right where he had an open roadway. The LaMont Apartment house on North Lemon is receiving the finishing touches and will soon be ready for occupancy. It is one of the finest structures of its kind in the Southland. Judging from the increasing business at the postoffice Anaheim must be growing by leaps and bounds, according to Postmaster Ahlborn. Congestion at the delivery windows is greater than ever known, even before city delivery was established. The Orange County Auto Trades association held a meeting Friday night at the establishment of the Wickersheim Implement company, there being some 40 members present representing nearly every community in the county. It was purely a business session, one of the features of which was the report of Paul Price on the state convention which was recently held at Sacramento and which he attended as delegate from the county association. The next meeting will be held at Santa Ana on October 17, and on October 30, there will be a special meeting in Fullerton at the rooms of the Fullerton club, at which ladies will be invited to attend. This will be more of a social than a business meeting and there will be many entertaining features. The next state meeting will be held at Santa Barbara on October 27 and 28. Thirty or forty Anaheim Elks are in San Diego this week attending the annual convention of the State association which is being held Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A number of them will remain until Sunday and accompany the delegation coming up to attend the laying of the new hall corner stone. Local Notes A. R. Gemmel, manager of the Mateer-Gemmel drug store, has moved his family over from Santa Ana. He purchased a home on East South street. The Heffern well, which is now 2903 feet deep, has been cemented and stands idle until the cement sets. Work will be resumed within a few days. The well is being watched with interest, and great hopes are centered on the outcome of it. George Dunton, agent for the Ford cars and Fordson tractor, reports the sale of 22 tractors during the month of September. The Fordson is as popular among tractors as the little Ford is among cars. If it isn't one thing, it's another. While Orange county citrus fruit growers have enjoyed uniformly good prices all season, and the market is particularly good now, the packers have faced more handicaps this year than ever before, say packing house managers. The industry has been handicapped by railroad strikes, car shortage, and about everything else on the calendar, including the untimely rain of last week. Right now, with the orchards again become dry enough to pick fruit, the packers are up against the problem of reorganizing field crews, which were broken up when the rains stopped work. On top of that is the car shortage which has become increasingly acute for the last month. The Anaheim Theatre Company is the official title of the new firm in control of the New Grand and Fairyland theatres. C. L. Head and G. T. Ingram are the individuals comprising the company. The business address of the firm is at the office of the Fairyland theatre, 118 West Center street. C. E. Chamberlain is engaged in the work of inspecting the construction of a mile and a half of paved road at the Bixby ranch, joining the highway system of Orange county with that of Los Angeles. The work is being done by the Redondo Construction Co. and Mr. Chamberlain is the official inspector for Orange county. He has been engaged in inspecting construction of paved roads since last April, during which time roads have been paved at Buena Park, West Anaheim, Garden Grove, and elsewhere. He is seeing that good work is being done. The Bixby road will be completed some time this month. DENIES THE ALLEGATION That charges of profiteering, often made against the farmer, are in many instances entirely ill-advised, was the statement of W. C. Jerome, who calls attention to the fact that seed barley is now being held at $100 per ton by a number of the large milling companies in Southern California—a price which, according to Jerome, is entirely unjustifiable when the cost of production is taken into consideration. About four months ago barley was being bought in the Imperial valley at prices ranging from $49 to $54 per Personal Mention C. O. Dale of East Anaheim was a business visitor in town a few days ago. W. E. Duckworth and family and Guy Duckworth and family spent Sunday viewing the sights at Venice. C. F. Grim has been the most enthusiastic ball fan in town during the world's series between Cincinnati and Chicago. He is elated when the Reds win, and is correspondingly depressed when the Sox take a game. Mr. Grim comes from Cincinnati, and wants to see Moran's men win. Leo Sheridan was officially elected secretary of the water company by the board of directors at their meeting Saturday. He takes the place of W. T. Wallop, who is now engaged as superintendent of the company. Both men are doing good work, and stockholders of the company are to be congratulated on securing their services. C. H. Fisher has returned from a trip to Sacramento and other points upstate. While in Sacramento Chillie met Ralph Blair who is conducting a hotel in that city. Mr. Blair formerly was a well-known resident of Anaheim, and made inquiries of all his old time friends in this city. J. W. Wells is harvesting his walnut crop on his Eastside ranch, and expects to gather from twenty to twenty-five tons. He hauled in his first load of 6600 pounds a few days ago, and delivered them at the packing house of the Fullerton association. Orange high school football team defeated Anaheim high last week in a practice game 63 to 0. This lopsided score is due to the fact that the Anaheim bunch is only an aggregation of raw material, from which Coach Ward is going to construct a team of huskies that will gallop rough shod over all antagonists on the gridiron. The season is young yet, and the boys are untrained, but they've got the pep and the brawn. A most enjoyable meeting of the Sherwood Music Club was held at the home of Guy Duckworth on North Los Angeles street, last Saturday afternoon. William Heger was an assisting host and these boys delightfully entertained the large number of members present with different forms of entertainment. This being the first meeting of the season, special interest was taken in making plans for the future of the club by the members, who are the Sherwood piano pupils of Miss Stella A. Schwentker. A varied and interesting musical program was enjoyed by all, after which a social time and delicious refreshments of ice cream, cake and lemonade completed this delightful afternoon. Among the last of Anaheim's boys to get home from the war were Earl Steadman, Pete Wisser and Abe Winney, who came in last week, having been discharged at the Presidio. The boys were in the Eighth Infantry during the war, and after the signing of the armistice while at Brest, confidently expecting each day to be sent home, they were transferred to another command and sent to Germany to reinforce the First Division. They returned to America with General Pershing and took part in the spectacular parades in New York. statement of W. C. Jerome, who calls attention to the fact that seed barley is now being held at $100 per ton by a number of the large milling companies in Southern California—a price which, according to Jerome, is entirely unjustifiable when the cost of production is taken into consideration. About four months ago barley was being bought in the Imperial valley at prices ranging from $49 to $54 per ton, according to Jerome, who contends that if from $60 to $65 were be asked at the present time, these prices would allow a fair margin of profit to the mills, even after the cost of cleaning and handling had been allowed for. Information received by Jermoe from E. B. Holt, a rancher at Heber, in the Imeprial valley, is to the effect that one morning $80 per ton was being asked for uncleaned barley. Holt told a friend about this, but when the friend arrived at the place where the barley was being sold, two hours later, the price had gone up to $100 per ton. It is Jerome's belief that outside of the barley held by the milling companies there are not more than approximately 10,000 sacks of seed barley available in this county at the present time. Ranchers who retained seed barley from their crops this summer are fortunate in not being caught in the raise, Jerome states. TEACHER'S PAY The teachers are probably the most poorly paid this season of any class of American workers. Thousands of able young instructors and professors have abandoned the schools and colleges, and gone into business pursuits; and many women teachers have found other occupations. Colleges have been making the most stronuous efforts to find means with which to increase the salaries of their corps of instructors. Harvard University, for example, has organized a campaign for an immediate sum of $15,000,000 as fresh endowment, the income of which is to be applied chiefly to an increase in the pay of techers. Temporarily the shortage of better teachers for public schools will be to the advantage of the untrained and well-known resident of Anaheim, and made inquiries of all his old time friends in this city. J. W. Wells is harvesting his walnut crop on his Eastside ranch, and expects to gather from twenty-five tons. He hauled in his first load of 6600 pounds a few days ago, and delivered them at the packing house of the Fullerton association. He expects to net 30 cents a pound, and says he expects to get on the payroll this year. Mrs. Charles H. Mann entertained the Star Five Hundred Club at her home on Zeyn street Thursday afternoon. Mrs. W. P. Quarton won first prize in the games, Mrs. A. L. Porter second and Mrs. Mann third. The house was tastefully decorated with red roses and carnations, and the hostess served luncheon to her guests at the close of the games. Mrs. W. A. Dolan was hostess at a dinner and miscellaneous shower given in honor of Miss Mabel Walberg Thursday evening. Announcement is made that Miss Walberg will shortly be married to Lou Winney, who recently returned from France, where he served during the war. James C. Callaway of South Los Angeles street stands for civic betterments, but is one of those who will not stand for municipal buildings being erected in a park. Mr. Callaway says it would be foolhardy to place them in an area set aside for a park where people would congregate for pleasure and enjoy the scenic beauty. He says the city now owns the best site in town for a hall, and asks the question why seek elsewhere for a location. Mr. Callaway stands ready to help create a park, and he has a lot of friends of the same opinion, but he does not want to see the park used for any other purpose. C. C. Chapman, F. C. Krause, Will Berkenstock, A. S. Bradford, and other republicans from the northern part of Orange county, attended the meeting at Shrine Auditorium on Friday evening which was addressed by Sen- The chamber of commerce of our neighboring town of Brea, concluded that its membership was too small, consequently it divided itself into two squads and started a drive.

Harvard University, for example, has organized a campaign for an immediate sum of $15,000,000 as fresh endowment, the income of which is to be applied chiefly to an increase in the pay of teachers. Temporarily the shortage of better teachers for public schools will be to the advantage of the untrained and immature, especially in small towns and country districts. The large school systems will, even more than heretofore, offer inducements to the good teachers from the country. At least, school keeping will be shaken out of some old ruts. It is to be hoped that the resulting situation may stimulate the movement for consolidating rural schoolss, and for the adoption of a deliberate policy on the part of state governments for the maintenance of rural life. Country children should be as well instructed as those of the larger towns and cities. One o f the results of the shortage of teachers, furthermore, may be the revival of conscious and deliberate educational effort in the home. Where the school teachers are young girls without professional training, who engage in the work as a temporary makeshift, it is not wise to rely too entirely upon schools for educating children. A sharp distinction should be made between professional teachers of character, experience and proved success, and those of the casual kind. The professional teacher should be well paid, and should be restored to that position of honor and influence in the community that belonged to the schoolmasters of an earlier day. Herman Dickel is improving each shining hour at his bachelor's hall on Lemon street by canning peacehens, figs and other fruits, at which he says he is an expert. His wife is at the home of her sister, Mrs. Dr. J. H. Bullard, in Los Angeles, where she is receiving treatment from a city specialist for a serious illness which has impaired her health for some months back. Percy Dickel is in the drapery department of a Los Angeles store. Arnold is in Salt Lake City and Ted is mining at Durango, Mexico. Mr. Dickel is holding the fort alone, and leaves today with a local delegation of Elks for San Diego to attend the State convention of that order. C. C. Chapman, F. C. Krause, Will Berkenstock, A. S. Bradford, and other republicans from the northern part of Orange county, attended the meeting at Shrine Auditorium on Friday evening which was addressed by Senator Hiram Johnson in opposition to the League of Nations. Harry Hale attended the banquet at the Alexandria hotel in Los Angeles on Friday evening in honor of Senator Johnson, and was later present at the Shrine Auditorium meeting, where Johnson addressed one of the largest gatherings ever assembled in that city He was unable to get near enough to the Senator to speak to him, but says it was the greatest speech he ever heard.

Examinations for U. S. census enumerators will be held in Orange county some time during the week beginning October 27, according to official notice received by the postmaster from C. G. Rowan, census supervisor for this Ninth Census district. It will be necessary to confine the examinations to the most central points in the county. Definite announcement of the dates and places of holding the examinations will be made later. The tests will be open to all American citizens between the ages of 18 and 70. Rowan's letter states, and they will consist mainly of subjects chosen to determine the proficiency of the applicants in spelling, penmanship and simple English and their ability to fill out, accurately and legibly, simple schedules of population and agriculture. Approximately 350 enumerators will be required in this Ninth district, which consists of Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, Inyo, Mono, San Diego and Imperial counties. This would give Orange county probably 30 to 50 enumerators. The compensation for enumerators in this district has not yet been definitely fixed. Rowan writes, but it will be such as will enable persons of ordinary industry to make from $4 to $6 a day on a per capita basis, or a corresponding sum in subdivisions of the district in which the per diem scale is prescribed. The period of enumeration will be fifteen days in incorporated cities and thirty days in territory outside of corporate limits. Those wishing to take the local experience that when we receive as many reports at the beginning of a winter as we have been receiving during the past few weeks, it generally means that burglars and thieves will be active." MORE SHIPS NEEDED Transportation is the one big question which has the immediate attention of everyone in the Hawaiian Islands. Everything that is going to happen seems predicated on "when we get the ships." At present three steamers operating on regular schedule, connect the islands with the American mainland. In addition to these, Japanese steamers touch at Honolulu, but are unable to furnish any real transportation facilities. It is estimated that 500 persons are waiting to get to the mainland from the islands and the list is added to as rapidly as those who have been waiting are carried away. To get out of the islands the would-be traveler registers his desires at the steamship office. If he is wise—and most are—he registers at all of the steamship offices. Then, if he is patient, in the course of two or three months he may get his turn to purchase a ticket. But better times are looked for in about three months. Word has been received in the islands that about the last of November several of the large steamers which formerly operated out of San Francisco to Hawaii and which were used in the transport service during the war, will be restored to their owners and be sent back to the island trade.

SHERIFF ISSUES WARNING Warning store keepers, ranchers and property owners generally to be unusually careful from now on in the matter of protecting their premises from burglars, was issued today by Sheriff Jackson, following the receipt by him of reports from various points in Southern California indicating that a wave of theft has begun to break over the Southland. Sheriff Jackson points to the theft of $400 worth of tires from the Owl Tire and Rubber Company's shop on Friday night and to the theft of $150 worth of tires and accessories from the Tustin garage on Saturday night as strengthening his belief that thieves and maauders will be unusually active this winter. "The numbers of reports I have already received this fall from various cities in Southern California regarding burglaries lead me to believe that we are on the verge of having to cope with an unusually large amount of crime during the winter months," said Sheriff Jackson. "It has been my ex- Torosa Chapter, Eastern Star, of Santa Ana, was hostess to a company of about three hundred Monday evening at its regular meeting from Anaheim and Yorba Linda chapters being especially invited guests. There was also a delegation from Los Angeles. The long tables, upon which a delectable three-course dinner was served, were adorned with the rich tints of autumn leaves, luscious grapes filling graceful grown baskets, placed at intervals. Streamers of the golden brown and red leaves were suspended from the chandeliers. Following the discussion of the dinner, two candidates, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Preston were initiated, the work being greatly enjoyed by the visitors and members. Interesting remarks were made by several of the visitors before adjournment of the chapter. A writ of attachment was placed on file in connection with a suit brought by the First National Bank of Fullerton against E. E. Bascom over two notes, one for $872.19, and the other for $636.85. Judgment of the principal of both notes is asked, together with interest alleged to be due from January 27, of this year, on the $872.19 note, and with interest since March 20, of this year, on the $636.85 note. Attorneys Marks & Launer of Fullerton brought the action for the plaintiff.
