Johnson demonstrated Tuesday that the vote which swept him into the senate by nearly 200,000 majority, while the republican candidate for president lost the state, is still behind him. His majority over Hoover in the primaries had reached 108,000 at last reports, with twelve hundred precincts yet to be heard from, and it was claimed by Johnson manager that he had carried the state by 150,000. Nine hundred votes were cast in Anaheim, practically half the registered vote to date. Johnson polled 558 of these and Hoover 273, giving the senator 285 majority. Only about fifty democratic votes were cast, the majority of democrats who took the trouble of going to the polls voting for one of the republican candidates. REV. MR.

That we place too high a value on a great variety of food as necessary to health and good digestion is the opinion of Stefansson, the eminent explorer, who lectures at Chautauqua on the second night, based on his experience in the Arctic, and the experience of those who were with him on his historic expeditions.

AMERICAN YOEMEN TO MEET IN ANAHEIM All Southern California Lodges to Send Delegates Here June 5 On Saturday, June 5, all of the Homesteads of the Southern California district, Brotherhood of American Yeomen, will send big delegations to Anaheim to receive the degree of Rhadamanthus. The degree of Rhadamanthus is the highest degree in the Yeoman order and is only given for meritorious service. The ritualistic work of the degree is particularly beautiful and will be exemplified by the best drill teams among the Southern California homesteads. As all of the various homesteads have been practicing in anticipation of this event a splendid spectacle should be presented for those fortunate enough to be permitted to attend the meeting. Anaheim was signally honored in being chosen for this year's Rhadamanthus. Practically every city, large and small, in Southern California, was competing for this convention, and Anaheim was chosen as the most desirable location for the event. This was due in part to the fact that Anaheim has one of the livest homesteads in Southern California, and partly because Anaheim was so enthusiastic in promising exceptional entertainment. LIVED ON FISH FOR A YEAR Explorer Stefansson Tells of Year's Fish Diet Without Salt. That we place too high a value on a great variety of food as necessary to health and good digestion is the opinion of Stefansson, the eminent explorer, who lectures at Chautauqua on the second night, based on his experience in the Arctic, and the experience of those who were with him on his historic expeditions. "I lived on fish, both raw and cooked, for a whole year, and without salt," Mr. Stefansson says, "and weighed ten pounds more at the end of the year than at the beginning. I was not troubled with indigestion, or any other bad effects. In fact, I can say that I never felt better in my life. Taking up any new system of diet is largely a psychological matter," said Mr. Stefansson. "We have prejudices which it is a difficult matter to overcome. If the animals that are used for food were placed in one group and those that are not considered good for food were placed in another group, and thoroughly unbiased person were used for an opinion, he would say little or no difference between them." Leonard Messel and family will soon move to their new home on Placentia avenue where he owns an orange grove. G. A. Mills was a business visitor in town Tuesday. Mr. Mills owns a fine orange grove on the state highway north of town. RED CROSS ACTIVITIES A number of Red Cross chapters in California have sent delegates to the California Social Agencies Conference which opened yesterday at Riverside. Pacific division headquarters of the American Red Cross is to conduct the program Friday afternoon, May 7, and the principal speaker Friday night will be Miss Margaret Byington from national headquarters, Washington, D.C. What Red Cross chapter organization means in the community and details of possible cooperation with existing social agencies constitute the text for the discussions by the Red Cross workers. Colonel George Filmer, manager of the Pacific division, will preside at the afternoon session. Anaheim was signally honored in being chosen for this year's Rhadamanthus. Practically every city, large and small, in Southern California, was competing for this convention, and Anaheim was chosen as the most desirable location for the event. This was due in part to the fact that Anaheim has one of the livest homesteads in Southern California, and partly because Anaheim was so enthusiastic in promising exceptional entertainment. As there will be delegations from Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, San Diego and Imperial counties, and as the degree of Rhadauanthus is the most important in the Brotherhood of American Yeomen, the convention promises to be an event of much consequence to Anaheim. Anaheim homestead promised a cordial welcome to the Yeomen and the rest of the city will aid in making that welcome complete. There will be no lack of entertainment in Anaheim for the next ten days. The auto show, the finest thing of the kind ever seen in Orange county, opened yesterday afternoon and will continue the balance of the week, and the Chautauqua with its splendid program of high-class talent, begins a seven-day season Saturday night. The time will shortly come when airplane shows will be held, and the people will assemble to view the latest things in runabouts, tourists and trucks. Just now the automobile is at the peak and the best can be seen at the auto show being held on North Los Angeles street this week, but some day it will play second to the airship. The airplane may never be popular as a tractor, but it will soon come into its own as a freight and passenger carrier. What Red Cross chapter organization means in the community and details of possible cooperation with existing social agencies constitute the text for the discussions by the Red Cross workers. Colonel George Filmer, manager of the Pacific division, will preside at the afternoon session and will introduce Miss Byington in the evening. Colonel Filmer, who has been a full-time volunteer for the Red Cross since the organization of the department of military relief during the war, will give a brief review of the conduct between the division officers and the community through the Red Cross chapter. Other speakers from division headquarters will be Miss Grace Graham, director, department of civilian relief; Mrs. Harry A. Kluegel, director, department of Junior Red Cross; Miss Charlotte Kett and Miss Flora Bradford, general representatives. Miss Byington, who is nationally known among social service workers, will discuss in some detail chapter work in the community and how cities and social agencies can make the best use of Red Cross organization for the widest benefit of the community. Miss Byington was formerly associate director of the charity organization department of the Russell Sage foundation. She has been with the Red Cross since the beginning of the war, first with the national department of civilian relief as educational supervisor and now in the general manager's office as director of the bureau of field service.

MAKE YOUR MONEY WORK Your dollars that are lying idle in the bank have been depreciating in purchasing power to such an extent that you are actually losing money. THINK THIS OVER. Your only hope now—is to find a good investment where you are assured big returns. HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY The oil business has made more poor people rich than all other businesses combined. Small investments have grown to great fortunes. All you require is to see that you place your money with the right company. Investigate the officers of the company, and if you are satisfied that they are honest, capable and understand the oil business, you may safely place your investment in their hands. THE DIAMOND-LOUISIANA OIL COMPANY now has four producing oil wells—one more drilling, and another well contracted to be drilled. It is a fast-growing company and those who invested at the start HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED A 10% DIVIDEND on their investment. We could not hope to fully explain all of the details of this wonderful, fast-growing company in such small advertising space. So we have made arrangements with the owners of this newspaper by hand. MAKING CITIZENS OF ALIENS In the city of Bakersfield there is a splendid example of good citizenship teaching. The school authorities have organized a special type of instruction for a group of girls, mostly Mexicans, over 13 who were not making satisfactory progress in school, or who were likely to leave school and marry at an early age. The class is in charge of Miss Anna Heiler, who has an unusually sympathetic appreciation of this type of girl. Many of these girls have not met the usual standard of efficiency in the common school branches because they cannot read and speak the English language, and not because of a low grade of mentality. These girls are being trained as home-makers that they may improve their home, and become self-supporting. By the same efforts they are mastering their English and more rapidly acquiring knowledge in the common school subjects. Last year 18 girls were enrolled; this year with two teachers, there are 38 in the class and others desire to enter. The group taught last year returned for a second year without being sent for and several brought their friends. Four of the pupils can not speak English as they have only recently come from Mexico. Much patient effort on the part of teachers who have a sympathetic understanding of these young girls is repaid by such results as are in the improvement of character and personal up-keep. Six girls married in less than a year, two were 14, one 16 and one 18. Their own homes show wonderful improvement over their mothers' and so they have learned their first big lesson in citizenship. Seven of the girls contribute to the WE could not hope to fully explain all of the details of this wonderful, fast-growing company in such small advertising space. So we have made arrangements with the owners of this newspaper by having sent to their office full and complete information regarding our property and management of the company.

Hellman Building Los Angeles, California John Shape Williams hasn't yet accused the non-rubberstamp senators of having the "George Washington" but he has a few months to serve yet before he begins to bay at the moon. Maybe the reason Admiral Doc Grayson vetoed Wood's Hole as a presidential summer resort was that the sight of the ocean makes the admiral seasick. Much patient effort on the part of teachers who have a sympathetic understanding of these young girls is repaid by such results as are in the improvement of character and personal up-keep. Six girls married in less than a year, two were 14, one 16 and one 18. Their own homes show wonderful improvement over their mothers' and so they have learned their first big lesson in citizenship. Seven of the girls contribute to the support of their families by working in Riverside homes on Saturdays, and from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. on school days. The women employing these girls phone frequent reports of their work to the school and thus assist in their training. Two girls have worked for over a year. The disposition of their earnings gives occasion for thrift instruction. They are encouraged to spend part for clothes and part for the mother and to put a small amount in the bank. Two small outside school rooms were converted into five-room cottages providing a living room, dining room, bedroom, bathroom; kitchen and classroom and lunch room in each that the home conditions might be approximated as closely as possible. The girls planned the color scheme of brown and blue, real California colors, and planted marigolds so as to have the gold when they couldn't get the poppies. They learned to paint and paper, that their own homes might be improved. Although the building was in poor condition, it was not so far removed in type from their own homes that they could not apply the instruction immediately. Last spring the teacher called upon one of the girls and found her putting some light striped gray paper upon the walls of a room reached by passing through a fruit store, through a dirty alley and two dark dirty rooms. There were clean crocheted dolls on the one chair and bed. When the little girl first came to school her hair was often very untidy; she combed it only when her sweetheart called. "Why comb it every day? You only have to do it over the next day." These girls prepare and serve lunch for 14 teachers, and also a free lunch for 30 under-nourished children from the school nearby. Three girls take the full responsibility for the day. They make their clothes and often wash and iron them at school. During the sewing hours all kinds of weighty problems are discussed, salaries, good taste, husbands, preference of country, United States or Mexico, homelife, whether it is right to break an engagement of marriage, and the right age for marriage. They are taught general housekeeping processes and the care of children. Last year they made a complete layette. They took entire charge of a three-year old boy while his sister attended school for three months. In addition to attention to the common school branches they study house furnishing and show a marked improvement in taste. The girls coming from such poor homes have no bath tubs. Setting them into new clothes and giving them talks on pretty hair and gradually persuading the less timid ones to wash their heads at school and to bathe there, has certainly improved conditions. They are very proud of their bedroom with its gray and white striped paper, white furniture which they painted themselves, and their plain white curtains bordered by the pink crepe side curtains which they made. The two small pink rag rugs complete the attractive room. Most of the girls have no mirror or only very small ones at home so the school dresser is probably largely responsible for the An Apostle of Americanism Here Is a Man From the Labor Ranks Hitting Hard at the "Reds" and Radical Straight from the labor ranks comes E. B. Fish, the two-fisted fighter for true Americanism, who is to address Chautauqua audiences the third afternoon of Chautauqua, on "The Cause and Cure of Industrial Unrest." Less than a year ago he was a machinist in an Everett, Washington, shipbuilding plant. The spread of radicalism threatened labor conditions in the Northwest, and Fish left his job as machinist on marine engine beds, and went out to preach Americanism to his fellow laborers. In less than a year he has probably done more than any other man in the Northwest to oust the "reds" out of that country. Four years more of reduction of high cost of living by a democratic national administration, and the over- LE & $39.75 Values up to $55.00 200 DRESSES SALE $29.75 & $39.75 Values up to $40.00 Values up to $55.00 This Is a Wonderful Sale. me In Early and Get the Good Selections The dresses we advertise are made in the very latest style and are most becoming for present wear.

There is a very brisk demand for good farm land at high NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF ANAHEIM CEMETERY ASSOCIATION The annual meeting of the Anaheim Cemetery Association will be held at the office of H. V. Weisel, Esq., at Anaheim, California, on Saturday, May 22, 1920, at 2 o'clock p.m. M. NEBELUNG, Secretary AGRICULTURE TEACHING City boys have for some time been showing an increasing interest in agriculture while country boys have been evincing a desire to leave the country. However, quite recently the good work in the field of agriculture of some leaders like Charles L. Hampton of Sonoma county, J. W. Haynes of San Luis Obsipo county, Merton Hill and Charles J. Booth of San Bernardino county, seems to be turning the tide in California. The Smith-Hughes work is beginning to show its effect. The country boy is turning back toward the farm. The farmer and the orchardist are going back to school for short courses. The real practical "professor agriculture" is no longer scorned as a devotee of "book-larnin'." He has in too many instances "larned" the farmer that the new methods bring increased production, and better quality. Many of the boys taking practical courses are both getting an education and earning a good living at the same time. Improvement in the machinery of the household no doubt accounts in large measure for the removal of the dislike of women to live on the farm. Mr. Claude W. Sandifur of Hollywood high school is spreading the knowledge of electric washing machines, both for clothes and dishes, mangles, irons, wringers, farm electric lighting systems, and other devices for taking the drudgery out of women's work on the farm. The large estates in California are breaking up. There is a very brisk demand for good farm land at high prices. Good times will come and stay when our young men and women go back to the farm happily and contentedly, and become real producers and loyal, educated citizens. The chief objections to living on a farm were the long hours of heavy labor and the lack of human companionship. The agriculture classes are teaching the use of power machinery for the farm, giving the boys a chance to practice the principles of the science, and to secure some of the financial returns, while they are receiving instruction in the vocation and in general culture. Labor-saving, drudgery-eliminating devices, and accessibility to city attractions brought about by the automobile, should before long remove the two chief drawbacks. A. C. O. In the county Y M C A field meet at Huntington Beach Saturday the Anaheim club won first prize, winning 45 points, while Orange was second with 35 points.
