Garner and his wife, Della Anna Garner, through a suit on file in superior court will seek to be restored to the possession of thirteen avres of land, located two and a half miles west of Anaheim, on the Valencia road, and due north of Stanton. The complaint, which was prepared by Attorney Leonard Evans of Anaheim, recited that on January 15, 1919, a sales agreement was entered into under which King came into possession of the land. It was alleged that on November 1, last, $1400 became due as an installment, and that on January 15, last, another installment of $259 became due. King was alleged to have refused to comply with demands that these sums be paid. It was set forth that the plaintiffs cannot make a peaceable re-entry upon the property except under an order of court. There are a number of cases of flu in the city and neighborhood, but nearly all of them are of a mild form. People should take precautionary measures and prevent it spreading. J. C.

They were much impressed with Southern California, and of course, will return some day. Mrs. Van Boven is a sister of Mrs. Dan Naugle and Mrs. Ben Lensing. Berger's Cubs lost out in the second game with Ontario Sunday, the score being 5 to 3. In the previous game the Cubs trimmed their adversaries by a 3 to 2 score, but luck was against them in Sunday's game. They will play again at the same place next Sunday. W. E. Duckworth recently sold his home on North Los Angeles street to buy them. The company also is refusing to take on new customers for either gasoline or distillate, but will protect old customers. There has been considerable speculation in the past few weeks as to when gas would take a rise. Press reports have been intimating that a boost was scheduled, but even as late as this week in Los Angeles officials of the two companies have been quoted as believing that there would be no increase. "Our stocks have been getting low," said District Manager Price of the Standard Oil, "and we have withdrawn our coupon books from sale. There was a great rush for them, and up to closing time Friday night books were in great demand." I have no information that the price is to go up." "We have no knowledge at this office of a raise being scheduled, but I would not be surprised to see the fuel take an advance at any time," said Carl Shipkey of the Union Oil Company. "Crude oil has been advancing, and it is only a natural sequence that the refined product should also step up. I do not look for a jump of more than one cent at this time. Eventually gasoline will go still higher, but the increase will be by easy stages. YOUNG TREES SCARCE Scarcity of young budded walnut trees, with the result that in some instances sales are being made by nurserymen at as high as $5 each, is attributed by George A.

Duckworth recently sold his home on North Los Angeles street to A. V. Vail, and will build another story over his feed store on Claudina street where his family will reside. Plans for the new Orangethorpe school are being prepared and the building will be rushed to completion. Recently this school district voted $60,000 bonds for a new school which will be one of the largest and handiest schools of the outlying districts. Owing to the growth of population of this district it was necessary that better school facilities be obtained and the new structure will be constructed with the idea of taking care of the future growth of this rapidly growing district. The government income tax this week defeated what would have been the record price per acre for a Valencia grove in this vicinity, when Robert Reid turned down an offer of $5500 an acre for his fine ten-acre grove on East First street. Leo Borchard was the prospective purchaser. A $12,000 crop of fruit is on the trees at this time, according to estimate, and this also would have gone with the deal. Taking the crop value into consideration and the further fact that the amount of income tax would be nearly the same, Reid concluded that he had better hold on to his property. "I have to have a home to live in," said Reid, in discussing the matter. "If I had sold I would have had to buy, and I don't know that I could have invested anywhere where property will advance any faster than my present place."—Register.

Ketscher, local nurseryman, partly to the fact that during the war ther was a decrease in the number of orchards set out, with the result that nurserymen were compelled to cut down on the size of the stocks carried. This condition is making itself felt this spring, when the demand for young trees far exceeds the supply, according to Ketscher. Sales of one-year budded trees,aging about 8 feet in height,at $3.50 each, are common, at the present time, Ketscher said. During last spring budded walnuts were sold in some instances as low as 35 cents each, prices ranging up to $1.25. Seedling walnuts are being bought now it is said at from 15 to 50 cents each, principally by nurserymen who want the material for budding purposes. There is said to be a fair supply of this stock. As to Valencia orange trees, these are being sold at from $1 to $1.75 each, according to Ketscher who says that the supply is fairly ample. Prices average about 50 cents higher than during this time last year.

V. W. LaMont has announced himself as a candidate for city trustee, and filed his petition with the city clerk yesterday. Mr. LaMont is one of Anaheim's most progressive young business men, and his selection as one of the city dads would be a wise one. No other candidates have yet been announced. It is understood Trustee Mann is not a candidate for re-election. SHOULD WE PAY AN INDEMNITY TO EUROPE? One might suppose from the attitude of certain European statesmen toward the United States that we had been conquered in the world war, rather than victorious. Frank H. Simonds, perhaps the most authoritative American commentarian on European affairs, tells us that the heart of the world is going to be broken if we do not forgive the European powers that ten billion dollar loan. If Germany had defeated us in the war, we would have considered ten billion dollars a pretty stiff indemnity. Germany didn't defeat us; on the contrary we prevented Germany from defeating the allies. But now, some prominent statesmen of the allies think, according to Mr. Simonds, that if we do not add to our forty or fifty billion dollar expenditure as participants in the world war, a free gift of ten billion dollars more to the nations which borrowed the money from us at a time when the credit extended represented to them rescue from bankruptcy and defeat, we will be considered very selfish and sordid. The people of the United States have stood for a good deal of this sort contrary, are collecting from Germany indemnities, territory and trade advantages fully compensatory for their financial expenditures, while America, with her expenditure of billions, willingly comes out of the war empty handed, only to be told that unless she is willing to pool the war debt she will be considered a selfish and sordid nation. And there are actually people in this country so completely Europeanized that they are unable to see the injustice of such demands! If the debts of the European powers are to be pooled, why not the indemnities and the territorial acquisitions? Why should there not be set to the credit of the United States in the new distribution credit sufficient to cover the losses Great Britain and France would have sustained if the central powers, in the absence of our intervention, had been victorious? How would the balance sheet show in that case? These demands, voiced not by irresponsible politicians but by responsible European statesmen, give us some idea of what we are going to be up against in the proposed world government. We are expected to make the sacrifices, provide the assets, furnish the "ideals," and take in return the liabilities, and the ingratitude of European powers. If for what we have done in this war our return is the actively fostered feeling in Europe that we are responsible for the existence and the alleviation of all the financial troubles and political complication of Europe, what will be the measure of the wrath that will be visited upon us when we have made the further sacrifices demanded by our international visionaries in behalf of the rest of the world? If sixty thousand lives and fifty billion dollars poured out by our people without the hope or expectation of reward other than Simonds, that if we do not add to our forty or fifty billion dollar expenditure as participants in the world war, a free gift of ten billion dollars more to the nations which borrowed the money from us at a time when the credit extended represented to them rescue from bankruptcy and defeat, we will be considered very selfish and sordid. The people of the United States have stood for a good deal of this sort of talk, but isn't it about time that somebody spoke for America in this matter words of truth and soberness calculated to dispel the illusion some of our representatives have created in Europe that all we aspire to do is acquire a world-wide reputation as an international easy-mark? France and England fought in the world war for self preservation. It was impossible for them to remain out of the war, and they fought gallantly to save themselves from being crushed under the heel of a conqueror. The United States went into the war, not under the pressure of such necessity, but of its own free will. The economic and military assistance given by the United States is all in the world that prevented France from giving up vast territory and a huge indemnity to Germany, in addition to all the sacrifices of blood and treasure she had made during the war. Without American assistance France would have come out of the war a defeated and discredited nation, while Great Britain would have been stripped of her possessions or compelled to pay untold billions in indemnity.
