Store A local organization will probably be organized here for participation in the Jewish Relief drive beginning March 28 and ending April 4. People everywhere are generously responding to the cry for aid in behalf of the starving and dying people in Europe and Asia. The S. Q. R. store's big anniversary sale continues during this week with some extra special bargains offered Friday and Saturday. This store was started thirteen years ago on a much smaller scale than the present dimension. Square dealing and satisfied customers is responsible for the expansion and development of the business, which is now one of the largest dry goods establishments in the country. In addition to the game between the Fats and Leans who play early in the afternoon Sunday on the local diamond, the Long Beach Elks will play Riley's Tigers at the usual hour. The OIL AT THE BEACH A very good grade of oil has been found in the New Standard Oil Company's well near the sugar factory at Huntington Beach, which is now 1941 feet deep, according to a public statement of C. W. Gates, president of the Huntington Beach Company, owners of the land. And this statement is corroborated by the fact that the Standard Oil Company of California has recently purchased some land between this well and the well said to contain oil on the Newport mesa. This big corporation has bought 80 acres east and south of the Sam Gisler ranch, owned by the Hammond Lumber Co. and other parties. The company is said to have also purchased a smaller tract on the mesa and taken a lease on other small holdings in the vicinity. There has been considerable activity on the mesa during the past week by men from Los Angeles in an effort to lease some of the smaller tracts, and prices paid have been in excess of any offered in the past year. Not a dissenting vote against the Laurel bonds being 35 to 0 for the issuing in the Laurel district Los Alamitos is one o In addition to the game between the Fats and Leans who play early in the afternoon Sunday on the local diamond, the Long Beach Elks will play Riley's Tigers at the usual hour. The beachites are said to be swift, and a splendid game is promised. Riley is getting literature advertising the Boston Bloomer Girl, who will be here on the 28th. They have recently completed a tour of the world playing exhibition games. Elizabeth Murphy, the greatest female twirler in the world, will be on the mound for the ladies. The Christian Science literature distribution committee is fitting up headquarters in the First National Bank building. Three rooms in the third story are being furnished for the work. Mrs. A. C. Little was in Santa Ana Monday seeking further information concerning the whereabouts of her husband, who disappeared from the state of Washington a few months ago under mysterious circumstances. She was here a few weeks ago, arriving a few hours after her husband had departed. She got trace of him at Fullerton, and reached Fullerton just after he had left that place. "I have had no trace of him since he left Fullerton," said Mrs. Little. "The reward of $150 for finding him and keeping him located until I arrive still stands. I am satisfied that his mind is unbalanced by reason of financial failure. He has been working as a carpenter. He was the founder of Raymond, Wash., and its mayor for eleven years." Up to the hour of going to press the leans had not yet announced their line-up for Sunday's baseball contest with the fats. Manager Riley thinks that after glancing at the formidable array of talent opposing them many of them who expected to play developed cold feet. Manager Heying, however, says the leans will be on hand prepared to run the heavy weights off their legs. The aggregate weight of Riley's nine is 2235 pounds, average 223. The line-up is as follows: Frank Murch, c. 230; Dave Thompson, p. 215; Herman Stern, p. and utility, 205; W. E. Duckworth, 1b, 225; Tom McFadden, 2b, 219; Dean Hasson, 3b, 215; Harry Riley, ss. 245; Welborn Wallop, rf. 240; Claude Weardon, cf., 235; Louis Handleman, lf, 215. This building was commodate in the neighborhood pupils, but the city has grown the building and is sary at the opening of school year to adopt a program in order to accommodate creased number of pupils.

As a prophet he has Ford Carpenter taking second place. His feelings hurt because he was arrested at Anaheim and held in jail here for five days because he was found sleeping on a bench at the depot there, Emile Schneider, who claims to have been a French soldier and former Pinkerton detective, is at the Salvation army home at Santa Ana to remain until he can secure employment. He declares that his arrest at Anaheim was the first time he had ever been taken into custody. He claims that he slept at the depot because he did not feel like paying the price demanded for a room. He is an enderly man and has been living in California for thirty-seven years, except the time he was in France during the late war. He was too old to fight but did a useful work in the army. SURPLUS OF LAW MAKERS Although New Hampshire isn't much of a state so far as area goes, it has one of the largest legislative bodies in America. T he House of Representatives at the capitol in Concord contains 421 seats, 402 of which are occupied by members. The basis of representation in New Hampshire is what might be termed exceedingly liberal. Wards and towns and hamlets are entitled to representation. Some of the towns have as few as 200 souls, yet have a representative. Manchester, the largest city in the state, with a population of about 80,000, has fifty-eight representatives. This system is now apparently destined for great changes. A constituency new members were initiated into the mysteries of the Elks' lodge at the meeting last week. District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler Joe Burke was present. The Armstrong Melon Co. of Iowa, has purchased eight acres of the Dio del Vista tract of Eygabroad & Fisher. The company will lease other ground in the vicinity and start a melon ranch. That such an industry would flourish here there can be no question. J. E. Riley, representative of the Western Union Telegraph Co. was in town the first of the week in consultation with J. H. Whitaker relative to the establishment of a down-town office for the company. He stated that he would recommend fitting up an office at the Valencia hotel. The week beginning Monday, March 29, will be "Save Money on Meat" week in California. This date has been fixed by the Department of Justice. All persons are requested to buy cheaper cuts of meat and in other ways endeavor to reduce the cost of that portion of the family diet during the week. At a meeting of Anaheim Chapter B. P. P. O. E. at the home of Mrs. J. L. Van der Veer recently, the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. F. T. Edmiston; Vice-President, Mrs. J. S. Ward; Rec. Sec'y., Mrs. J. C. Calloway; Cor. Sec'y, Mrs. J. Lloyd Moore; Treasurer, Mrs. Charles Mann; Chaplain, Mrs. J. K. Langdon; Guard, Mrs. H. M. Peterson, Planist, Mrs. W. M. Drake. Elbie Goodrich died at his home on Ther basis of representation in New Hampshire is what might be termed exceedingly liberal. Wards and towns and hamlets are entitled to representation. Some of the towns have as few as 200 souls, yet have a representative. Manchester, the largest city in the state, with a population of about 80,000, has fifty-eight representatives. This system is now apparently destined for great changes. A constitutional convention, recently adjourned, voted to submit to the people an amendment whereby the membership of the House would be materially reduced. The framers of the present constitution decreed that at every session of the "general court or legislature, there should be one representative from each town or ward of 600 or more population, with one additional representative for every addition of 1200 inhabitants, and that towns with a population less than 600 should send a representative such proportionate part of the time as the number of its inhabitants shall bear to 600." Some of the towns "proportionately" represented have less than 300 inhabitants and a few have less than 200. If the proposed amendment is approved, "running for the legislature" in New Hampshire will be a different political pastime from that which it now is. NEW SCHOOL HOUSE FOR LOS ALAMITOS Bond Issue Carries By a Vote of 35 To 0 School bonds aggregating $55,000 were voted in the Laurel and Seal Beach school districts Saturday. At Laurel $40,000 worth of bonds were voted for the erection of a new building, while $15,000 worth of bonds voted at Seal Beach will be used in making a two-room addition to the present building which was erected five years ago. This building was erected to accommodate in the neighborhood of 70 pupils, but the city has already outgrown the building and it was necessary at the opening of the present school year to adopt a part-time system in order to accommodate the increased number of pupils. Not a dissenting vote was cast against the Laurel bonds, the vote being 35 to 0 for the issue. The building in the Laurel district located at Los Alamitos is one of the oldest Company's 12-acre orange grove near the sugar factory has been purchased by a company composed of F. A. Yungbluth, Charles Eygabroad, Wm. Schumacher, Floyd Keallher and Joseph Fiscus. Transportation of liquor in cars that are not paid for and the consequent danger of the dealer losing them through confiscation by the government, is giving into agencies much concern. The matter wipe discussed at a meeting of the county association at Santa Ana last Friday night, and it was decided to endeavor to get protective legislation covering the matter. Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Mitchell were in town from Long Beach on Tuesday transacting business. They recently sold property at Hollywood for a consideration of $20,000 cash, and template leaving in the near future for a sea voyage through the Panama Canal as far south as Brazil. On their return to New Orleans and New York they will probably leave for an extended visit to Paris and other points in Europe. Word has been received at Fullerton of the death of John H. Clever in Indiana where he has been for several months. He went there on a visit and was taken ill and placed in a sanitarium. The family resides here. His wife passed away only a few weeks ago in Fullerton. Mr. Clever had resided here for a number of years and was highly respected. The body will be taken to his former home at Hanover, Indiana, for interment. FOR SALE—No. 7 Byron Jackson pump with frame for 20-ft. pit.

Boyd of South Olive street, entertained at luncheon yesterday for the drill team of the Order of the Eastern Star of Southern California. The place cards, favors and all other appointments of the four course luncheon were carried out in the St. Patrick motif, green and white being the color scheme. The members of the drill team meet once a month and as they come from various chapters throughout the Southland these monthly gatherings are always greatly enjoyed by all.

"American Women Composers" formed the theme for discussion at the meeting of the Ebell Music Section held Monday afternoon. Mr. G. M.

At the next regular meeting of the section which will be on the third Monday in April, a program of unusual merit will be presented and all members should mark this date on their calendar. STILL STUBBORN With William Jennings Bryan urging that the peace treaty be ratified with the Lodge reservations if necessary, and with one democratic senator after another quitting the administration on the treaty question, the situation has become too serious even for Son-in-Law McAdoo to stand. In a visit to Washington this week, Mr. McAdoo put in his time largely in urging the president to give way on the treaty, pass the work to the democratic senators whom he holds in leash, and let it be ratified with the Lodge reservations. Mr. McAdoo got no results. He found the president stubborn and unyielding, still seeing visions of America ruled by a supergovernment sitting in a foreign capital, still obsessed by the notion the American people will back up his position. Vance McCormick, former democratic national chairman, has likewise urged the and Mrs. Roy McGill of Benedicta, Mrs. Lillian Scott of Whittier, Mrs. Sarah Robinson of Needles, Grand Adah and Mrs. Nina E. Commiskey, Past Grand Matron of British Columbia, and Mrs. N. Littlefield.
