Anaheim Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $.50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter NO BLUE SKY STOCKS The Sacramento Bee calls attention to the fact that if it were not for the "Blue Sky Law," one of the most important of the once derided but now universally praised "Johnson laws," the new oil leasing bill would present magnificent opportunities for swindlers to unload worthless oil stocks on the public of California. With the large amount of land open to leasehold, all sorts of companies will be formed to develop it. If there were no law to prevent, come of these companies would be much more interested in developing the stock market than in developing oil. This is what did happen in the earlier part of the former era of oil development. The only reason it will not happen now is because under this Blue Sky Law, any company seeking to sell stock on the public market in California must first satisfy the Blue Sky Commissioner. His certificate, to be sure, is no guarantee that the investment will be profitable. In the case of mining companies in experimental territory, such a guarantee is necessarily impossible. There is always a certain amount of doubt or speculation in mining development. The Blue Sky Law does, however, heim high school board to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Herbert Clark. Mrs. Herman Conger and son of Gary, Ind., and Mrs. Faulkner of San Francisco, are visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Gamber on North Los Angeles street. PENNSYLVANIA PICNIC All who ever lived in the Keystone State are called by President Farr and Secretary Nicklas to meet under the ouspices of the Pennsylvania Society of Southern California for a great picnic reunion, all day, Saturday, April 3, 1920, in Sycamore Grove, Los Angeles.

P. Coy, county horticultural commissioner of that county, who pronounced the butterfly the Pyramis Cardui, or thistle butterfly, a species of the "Painted Lady." The fight may continue for days, said Coy, and may compare with the migration of 1901 when the flight lasted for eleven days. In that year the butterflies came from Lower California and continued north until they reached Canada, said Coy. The butterflies were traced on their course. The butterflies Saturday were still flying northwest. It was the second day of the flight. "They are not the forefather of the army worm or the codlin moth, nor the 'orange dog' that is reported to devour orange trees," said Coy to allay fear of orchardists that the butterflies are asked to pass the word along. A UNIQUE CHURCH SERVICE At the Presbyterian church next Sunday morning a delegation from Occidental college will conduct the service. There will be several short talks. The whole service will be in the nature of a symposium on the proposition, "Why I Am a Christian." One of the speakers will be Mis Lois Johnson, daughter of the well-known Dr. Silas Johnson, who has been for many years a missionary in South Africa, and is pastor of the largest Protestant congregation in the world at East Africa. The membership of this church numbers over eight thousand. Miss Johnson is now at Occidental college preparing to assist her father and will soon be on her way to their African home. The Occidental quartette will sing and the whole program will be exceedingly interesting. Those who hear it will not soon forget it. 11 o'clock sharp. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev. C. B.

The committee appointed by the board of trade to consider holding a valencia orange show in Anaheim reported Monday night that it was too late to arrange for a show this summer, but favored a show next year, provided the growers could be interested in it. No other community can compare with Anaheim in growing valencias and it is fitting that an annual exhibit be held in this city.

It was the second day of the flight. "They are not the forefather of the army worm or the codlin moth, nor the 'orange dog' that is reported to devour orange trees," said Coy to allay fear of orchardists that the butterflies might become a pest. "The butterfly of this species feeds principally upon wild non-economic plants but occasionally attacks garden plants, especially beans. They may be controlled by poison sprays. This particular butterfly has a habit of migrating and when they start out travel in great numbers." The farthest west the butterflies were reported was Fontana. They were flying over Riverside Friday and Saturday. Experimental station experts at Riverside pronounced them the Pyramis Cardui. L. B. Valla, district freight and passenger agent for the Southern Pacific railroad, was in town this week transacting business for the company. Mr. Valla was formerly commercial agent for the company, but under government control, has been employed at the general office in Los Angeles. He states the company will immediately begin extensive improvements in the service, and has placed an order for four thousand refrigerator cars, at a cost of sixteen million dollars. During and since the war not a single refrigerator car has been built, and the supply of them is consequently very short. The new cars will be ready for use this summer.

In the Repcbilian list Roger Dutton is reported as saying htat he is hesitating between Henry Ford and Billy Sunday. Roger's mind must have been in a chaotic state, politically, when the reporter accosted him, as Henry Ford is a Democrat and Billy Sunday a Methodist. Neither registered as a Republican. County Clerk J. M. Backs and his deputies are today getting into shape the precinct books of the various cities of the county in which municipal elections are to be held April 12. Affidavits of registration are being sorted, bound and numbered and the work will take up two day's time. Preparations for the municipal elections have brought about the first election rush of the present year in the county clerk's office, but as soon as the work in connection with this election is out of the way the boards will be cleared for another rush to begin shortly after April 3, on the midnight of which date registration closes for the May primary election. NARROW ESCAPE Miraculously escaping instant death, T. H. Erpenbach, forman of a crew from the Union Iron Works of Los Angeles at work on the new packing house at Placentia, fell a distance of twenty feet, along with a half-ton of iron rods. His injuries may yet prove fatal, as it is believed he was badly hurt interpally. Erpenbach was standing on a scaffold directing his crew in the handling of some iron girders, there being at least a half ton of iron bars and girders on the same scaffold at the time. It is thought the weight of the iron caused the scaffold to spread, and Erpenbach fell about twenty feet to the ground, along with much of the iron material, some bars of which struck him. Fellow workmen who rushed to his aid fully believed Erpenbach was killed, but he was found to be alive and conscious. He was given emergency treatment and rushed to the Pacific hospital in Los Angeles. The body was badly cut and bruised and one arm was broken in two places. The injured man has been with the Union Iron Works for a long period and is known as a competent and careful workman. He resides in Los Angeles. DID OUR SOLDIERS FIGHT FOR ARTICLE TENT The soldiers of America who fare forth to fight upon foreign soil did not go because they had any wish that the United States change the political lines of the earth by a redivision of nations, and they never have had such an idea notwithstanding such seems to be Mr. Wilson's conception of it. They did not fight to make the United States the Medlesome Mattie of Europe, but to protect our own rights as Americans and to help the cause of humanity by safeguarding weak peoples from the menace of German imperialism. Now Mr. Wilson seeks justification to Europe. To elect to sign our names to this article is to announce our willingness to participate in the future wars of Europe quite as much as if it were worded in just this way. Either Article X means that or it means nothing. If we bind ourselves to maintain "the territorial integrity and existing political independence" of nations about which we have no concern, we mean that we shall do this thing by force if it becomes necessary—and all this in spite of the fact that the Constitution of the United States apparently sets out that the sole war-making body so far as the United States is concerned, is the congress. And if anybody has any doubt about how "our gallant soldiers," as the president refers to them, think upon this subject, just ask them—the first soldiers or former soldiers you meet as you walk down the street. Ask them if they think the United States is betraying a sacred trust by not agreeing to guarantee boundary lines and political independence of the European states. And particularly ask them whether it was in order to do this that they need to France to fight. And then, as soon as you've asked these question, you're better run.

The ten-mile race starts at Anaheim, circles United States change the political lines of the earth by a redivision of nations, and they never have had such an idea notwithstanding such seems to be Mr. Wilson's conception of it. They did not fight to make the United States the Meddlesome Mattle of Europe, but to protect our own rights as Americans and to help the cause of humanity by safeguarding weak peoples from the menace of German imperialism. Now Mr. Wilson seeks justification for his stand in favor of his pet Article X in the league of nations covenant as written, on the theory that he "could not look the soldiers of our gallant army in the face again if I did not do everything in my power to remove every obstacle that lies in the way of the adoption of this particular article of the covenant." In the language of the moment, "How does he get that way?" Who, beside himself, has ever given him the opinion that our soldiers are willing for instance, to precipitate an international disturbance over the matter of the boundaries of Jugo-Slavia and the question of whether Flume shall belong to Italy or to Jugo-Slavia or be internationalized? What right have we to suppose that the territorial boundaries as finally agreed upon in Europe will be the best possible arrangement of things and that they should endure and that we should use our force to make them endure? What business of ours is it, anyway? We can well imagine the indignation in this country if the countries of Europe should assume, following, say a war in which we had engaged with Mexico or Japan, to tell us what should be our boundaries and what should not. And let us not misunderstand, either, the fact that our agreement to Article X means our willingness to engage in war for the protection of the boundaries that may be agreed upon as Kurt Epstein of the Falkenstein store, who has been suffering poor health since he participated in an automobile accident some weeks ago, is off duty at the present time recuperating.

Newland ranch will begin soon, according to promises made to Newland by the Le Fee Oil company of Los Angeles, which holds a lease to the property. This was one of the interesting announcements of the week in local oil circles. According to terms of the lease, active work must begin on or before April 27, 1920, and this means that the company must start operations within a month or forfeit its lease. The leases on the holdings of the Bushard brothers, Geo. H., W. W. and L. J. Bushard, that have been considered for several weeks, are reported to have been closed and the legal documents are in escrow. These tracts are about 62 acres each, and terms of the lease call for a cash payment to each of them for a term of one year. While the leases run to another company, it is rumored that they will be transferred to the General Petroleum company. There have been rumors that the Standard Oil company will soon construct another rig and start another well, but there is no authoritative information on the subject. Most of those owning land in the oil zone and willing to sell, are asking $1000 per acre, but there are no buyers, except for some small tracts.

Born in Athens, educated in Palestine, a graduate of the University of Bagdad, Mesopotamia, a university student in England and later of our own Harvard, this young Athenian has created a furore of enthusiasm wherever he has appeared. He brings with him the gorgeous costumes of the Armenians Syrians and peoples of the near East, making his lecture-entertainment spectacular pageant of the Orient. He tells of the Holy Land, which he knew so well, of the social customs, of the religion and of the Petrothal and marriage customs.

Anaheim has been a long time in the building, but she has built well. With her miles of well paved streets and cement sidewalks leading everywhere, 3 and 4 story buildings with modern equipment, many churches with their tall spires and costly furnishings, an up to date library filled with the latest and best periodicals and publications, schools of established merit, amusement houses, and three live newspapers, makes this city of 10,000 people feel the prosperity that is rightly theirs. The earliest pioneers of Southern California came to Anaheim, but the land was new, and much of the country between here and the sea was unreclaimed. Across this willow dotted waste, the waters had ceased to flow—a tiny clump of tules found a foothold, then long days passed, and nights, when the stars kept vigil with the moon—but the pioneer settler at Anaheim never wearied of the long wait. One of the most modern equipped "Sun Kist" packing houses in the state is located here—also one of the great sugar refineries. The golden lime trees run their glittering miles of rich harvest in the sun. Thousands of trees bathed in a shimmering coat of green—rear their heads to the skies like magic spears, and bring to Anaheim an undreamed of burden of wealth.

While, fifty years ago, Anaheim was not the blooming paradise it is today, the basic requirements were there. As a proof of this, what was then a waving expanse of wild mustard is today one of the richest, best improved and most prosperous districts in America. Many factors were to be considered carefully. Climate, soil, water, location and general living conditions were all to be weighed, each by itself and then as a composit whole, and the location which graded the nearest to perfection was to be their future home.

As for the schools, no city of its size in the state boasts better schools. The Anaheim Union High School alone cost in excess of $125,000.

A state-wide search was made and from all this wondrous coast paradise to select from the present site of the City of Anaheim was chosen. To the stranger who has never been in Anaheim, especially the stranger from the east, it will be impossible to convey an adequate picture of Anaheim and the rich surrounding district, in a descriptive article. It is possible to give facts and figures which will prove Anaheim's wonderful prosperity, but even such facts cannot make one conceive the real picture. First, one should try to imagine an endless stretch of ever green citrus groves with golden oranges and lemons dotting the green—here and there a grove of walnuts with their widespread branches—all producing wealth for their owners which seems unbelievable to the easterner. Over the whole district fine boulevards radiate in every direction with beautiful homes nestled among the flowers, which run riot the entire year. And then picture this wonderfully beautiful country bathed in the sheen of an ever constant California sunshine—practically every day of the year—and you have a picture of the Anaheim district. In the very mids of this wealth of beauty and prosperity lies the City of Anaheim, "The Best Little City in the State." You will never know Anaheim until you see it. Anaheim has a snap and bustle and sparkle which one senses the moment he passes through the business section. Anaheim has several strong marketing associations.
