There were 532 who declined to state party affiliation. The returns so far show that only about twenty-five per cent of the voters in the county have registered. Comparison with registrations made in the last six years shows the number of Progressives and Socialists greatly decreased. Sunday was an off day for Berger's Cubs. They went up to San Fernando expecting to add another victory to their list, but slipped a cog, the home team winning by a score of 9 to 1.

Burns, deputy internal revenue collector assigned to Orange county, says that estimating income taxes is not allowable this year. Correct return must be filed on or before March 15 and the correct payment must be made.

It is said some of the oil companies are not complying with the strict letter of the law regarding the shutting off of water in their wells. The underground water supply has been safeguarded by wise laws and it is important that no waste should be permitted. After all is said and done, water is really king in Southern California, and over-zealous oil operators should not be allowed to waste it. After lying ill nearly two weeks in a downtown hotel while police and relatives conducted a State-wide search for her, Miss Mattle Mozier, 20-year-old telephone operator of Placentia, was found by detectives and removed to the home of her uncle, C. A. Bryant, at 918 North Harvard boulevard, Los Angeles. Miss Mozier, who had been employed as a switchboard operator in a sanitarium at Fresno, wrote her aunt and uncle that she expected to start home on January 16, and would stop for a visit in Los Angeles. When her uncle met the train January 17, she was not on board. Her mother at Placentia learned later that the girl had left Fresno on January 17, and notified the police of several cities, as it was feared she might have been kidnapped. At the Bryant home Miss Mozier said she arrived in county, says that estimating income taxes is not allowable this year.

It was brought out that Hiraide had no scales on his farm, near Anaheim. Testimony showed that Efker, Karam and Gordon consider themselves pretty good bowlers. In fact they are not afraid of any trio of men in this section of the state, but the three female bowlers from Los Angeles made them look like thirty cents of has-beens at Mason’s alleys Tuesday night. The ladies won with thirty-five points to spare. E. L. Cole of Buena Park, who has been quite sick for some time, was brought to the sanitarium for treatment a few days ago.

The case of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association against L. C. Yeoman in superior court Monday has been taken under advisement by Judge West, who will render a decision later. The validity of a contract which provides that a member shall pay the association fifty cents a box for fruit if he fails to deliver it as per agreement was the point in question. The defendant's attorneys alleged that since the association is a non-profit organization it could not be damaged by the withdrawal of Yeoman's oranges. The association is depending upon the contract that it is admitted that Yeoman signed. That contract provided that should Yeoman deliver his oranges elsewhere than to the association he should pay the association fifty cents a box for each box delivered elsewhere.
