Queen Quality SHOES fit and look well and serve to point a useful lesson— TRUE service is cheap. The style, fit and wear of Queen Quality shoes illustrate the point well. For these preeminently good shoes give dollar-for-dollar value throughout and reduce shoe cost from what it would be with inferior wear, while increasing the satisfaction, the pleasure and lasting pride which comes from correct shoes. Many new and charming models are in the showing now ready. It is interesting to note that there is a fit and style for every taste and need. Plan to call in soon and see these examples of style and correctness. S. Q. R. Store The Home of Greater Values showing now ready.

Store The Home of Greater Values The dramatic class of the high school is making big preparations to present "The Merchant of Venice" at an early date. The scenery is being constructed and painted by the students themselves under the direction of Prof. Van der Veer and Miss Lopez. Vic LaMont and Marion Eden left yesterday on a fishing excursion to Little Bear. They will probably be gone all week, which means a great reduction in the fish population of Little Bear. A white fence is being constructed about the trees and palms below Buena Park on the boulevard. These landmarks are all that remain of the little park from which Buena Park was named. They are very beautiful and for sentimental reasons alone, it is held, should be preserved and cared for. The territory surrounding the trees consists of about an acre formerly deeded to the county by the founder, James A. Whitaker. This territory will be surrounded by the fence and as a good well is in this plot of ground, campers will be privileged to stop there for a certain length of time, conforming to the laws of the chamber of commerce and the automobile lcubs. T. B. Cone and Ed Parsons left on Sunday morning for Ensenada, where Mr. Cone will pay a visit to his extensive ranch in that locality. They made the trip by auto, and expected to reach Tia Juana in the afternoon, arriving at Ensenada on Monday. They will be absent several days. Anticipate your wants now—wait for the Rexall 1c Sale—Mullinix Drug Store, May 13, 14 and 15. Sunday evening's entertainment at the Chautauqua ought to be interesting, the principal attraction on the program being a debate on the political issues of the day between Carlton Chamberlayne, democrat, and Senator Fraley of Iowa, republican. Don't forget the opening at Mullinix Drug Store of Rexall 1c Sale, May 13 to 15. "Tex" Choate took a fancy to an eleven-months old airdale belonging to Mr. Cook of the sugar factory, and bought it. The dog is a thoroughbred, and "Tex" purposes to train him to be an auto watchdog, and guard the household at night. A shortage of refrigerator cars is working a hardship upon the fruit packers and shippers. Young men of forty and fifty Young men of forty and fifty Some young men come to us for clothes who doat want "young men's" styles; so-called. They want what we call a conservative model, which isn't a very good name for the smart style we show in such clothes. But we know exactly what they want, and we have it for them. The lines of the coat are simple, plain; but the lapels have the right touch, the front has the proper roll, the collar "sets" just right. Hart Schaffner & Marx design these, as well as the more extreme models, for us. We put one of them on you and you are well dressed. F. A. YUNGBLUTH "By All Means Get a Fit." Home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes J. T. Simmons has obtained from the railroad commission authority to transfer to W. H. McGann and H. J. Morgan, a partnership, the permit under which he has been operating an auto truck line between Los Angeles, Fullerton, Anaheim and Orange. Dr. J. H. Bullard of Los Angeles, formerly a well-known resident of this city, has undergone a surgical operation upon the bladder at the California hospital. He is improving, and will doubtless soon be able to return to his home. The doctor has many warm personal friends in Orange county, who will indulge a hope that he may speedily recover. At conclusion of their labors at a special meeting Friday evening the city trustees went into executive session presumably to consider the appointment of a city marshal, recorder and rate collector. In all probability these officials will be appointed at the regular meeting May 13. A. Kluewer of the Dew Drop Inn reports a flourishing business, having all he can do to feed the hungry crowds who go there for their meals. Fritz has one of the finest musical instruments to be found in the state in his establishment, which is highly appreciated by his patrons. Clem Reis, traveling salesman for the Zellebach Paper company, was in town on Monday afternoon, all smiles, because of the arrival of a nine-pound boy at his home in Los Angeles on Saturday. This makes two boys and one girl for Reis and he continues to sell more paper than any man on the road. Reis is an all right hombre, but the trouble with him is that he Local Notes Bert Simpson has gone into the heavy trucking business, being associated with Mr. Bigelow, and will make a specialty of heavy hauling to outside points. At eight o'clock Friday evening, when the first big gun on the battleship New Mexico let loose at the floating target off San Pedro harbor, and the concussion waves came rolling in from the sea shivering the houses, an excited citizen in the neighborhood of Chartres and Olive streets was heard for a distance of several blocks yelling: "Earthquake! Get out of that house—quick—hellup—earthquake!" A few records later the second boom came and the excited citizen subsided. Mrs. Laura Barr of Pasadena came down Sunday and spent the day visiting her brother, Jess Vrooman, and family. Nicholas Thoodore on Monday morning received a telegram from his brother George, saying that he and his wife had arrived safely in Paris on Saturday. They sailed from New York on April 24. Mr. and Mrs. Otto Hilbers will leave shortly for a visit to friends in Nebraska, and expect to celebrate their golden wedding while among their old friends. Friday Mrs. Hilbers entertained a number of friends at a luncheon. Fifteen of her lady friends were present, and spent an enjoyable afternoon. The committee of Elks appointed CONSERVE MOISTURE Unquestionably the most vital subject before the California farmer today, this year, and forever is that of soil moisture. Prices may rise and fall, pests may come and go; labor may become scarce or plentiful, but the basis of agriculture in both irrigated and dry regions of the state and southwest will still be soil moisture, and the amount of this moisture will largely determine whether the farmer is to have a lean or a fat year. The number of acres farmed in this state is increasing. The available water, both in the soil and in the canyons, is being spread over a greater area. What of California agriculture fifty years from now? Normal rainfall in certain districts of Southern California has misled many growers. All over the state the moisture in the first ten feet of soil is, with hardly an exception, deficient. The first two or three feet of soil in the citrus districts contain more moisture than usual, but this condition is deceiving. The rains have not been heavy enough or continuous enough to penetrate to any great extent to the lowest point reached by the roots of certain fruit and nut trees. It will again be necessary for walnut growers to irrigate several times this year. It is up to every farmer and fruit grower in the southwest to look to his moisture supply, to understand it, and use it wisely. A series of soil moisture demonstrations will be held in the near future by the various farm bureaus of California. It behooves every farmer to attend the meetings in his district; to learn from soil experts what he may expect from his soil in the way of moisture this year. It will be de- Clem Reis, traveling salesman for the Zellebach Paper company, was in town on Monday afternoon, all smiles, because of the arrival of a nine-pound boy at his home in Los Angeles on Saturday. This makes two boys and one girl for Reis and he continues to sell more paper than any man on the road. Reis is an all right hombre, but the trouble with him is that he says paper is going up. T. L. Stark of Santa Ana was on trial last Friday charged with driving an auto while intoxicated, but it developed that Stark's intoxication was caused by accidentally inhaling a whiff of cyanide gas while fumigating. He was discharged. In a contest last week Grace Hedstrom was chosen valedictorian at the graduation exercises of the high school, and Kenneth Goodale salutatorian. The annual spring cleaning is in progress at the cemetery and the directors of the cemetery association ask that all lot owners take a day off and assist in the work. Richard Fischle is making substantial improvements in his candy and ice cream establishment on West Center street. His business has increased so fast that more room is needed. The premises have been enlarged, giving double the space for the front room which is elegantly fitted up for patrons. Mr. Fischle has one of the best confectionery stores in the county, and is enjoying a fine trade. Deputy County Clerk Earl Abbey was intown on official business Tuesday. Ramon Corona of East Orange-thorpe avenue was a business visitor in town Tuesday and made a pleasant call at this office. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Moore and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bilger drove down from Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon and visited friends in this city. Under the direction of Capt. Jerolmy, a government store has been opened on the second floor of the old Mr. and Mrs. Otto Hilbers will leave shortly for a visit to friends in Nebraska, and expect to celebrate their golden wedding while among their old friends. Friday Mrs. Hilbers entertained a number of friends at a lunch-eon. Fifteen of her lady friends were present, and spent an enjoyable afternoon. The committee of Elks appointed by Chief Barnes of the Anaheim lodge to take charge of the Salvation Army drive, consists of six members: V. W. LaMont is chairman; the other members being A. B. McCord, E. E. Smith and H. H. Benjamin of Anaheim, E. K. Benchley of Fullerton, and Fred Cline of Placentia. The clerk was instructed to give notice that now is the time to clean up lots and parkings. Cut the weeds—if you don't, the city will and charge you for the labor. Joe O'Donnell, well-known eastside orange grower, was in town the other day. Joe has twenty acres of oranges hard to beat. Recently a man called and asked what he would take for the place. Joe had been offered four thousand; he shook his head and said he might consider $6,000; wasn't sure. In fact, the place is not for sale. The reason for this is that Joe knows how to raise oranges. Samuel Kraemer, well-known Placentia citizen, was in town a few days ago meeting many friends. Mr. Kraemer has been restored to health after several months serious illness. A. H. Ticer, owner of a ten-acre orchard near Garden Grove, after December 31, 1920, will have to find other means of securing irrigation water, the railroad commission finding that J. C. Phillips, his next door neighbor from whom he has been getting water has only enough for his own needs and is therefore unable to serve longer as a public utility. Dr. Sanford McDonald, manager of the Chautauqua, came in Monday and will remain here until the close of the program. Dr. McDonald has been with the Ellison-White company a number of years and has carried his walnut growers to irrigate several times this year. It is up to every farmer and fruit grower in the southwest to look to his moisture supply, to understand it, and use it wisely. A series of soil moisture demonstrations will be held in the near future by the various farm bureaus of California. It behooves every farmer to attend the meetings in his district; to learn from soil experts what he may expect from his soil in the way of moisture this year. It will be demonstrated at these meetings that deficient rainfall for three years has resulted in a condition that is not realized from a survey of the moisture in the first foot or two of soil. Farmers in central and northern California, according to Director Hecke of the state department of agriculture, will suffer more from lack of soil moisture this year than the southern part of of the state, "But," Mr. Hecke says, "this condition is a blessing in disguise; for it will teach the northern California farmer to conserve his soil moisture and to construct dams for irrigation on the upper reaches of the rivers which waste millions of dollars' worth of water every month in the year." Making most of every gallon of water absorbed by the earth stored in dams or diverted from streams should be the first thought of the farmer this year. If a supply of irrigation water is available, use the water wisely, under conditions tending to reduce evaporation and seepage. Line canals with concrete; irrigate at night when evaporation is less. Cultivate thoroughly after each irrigation and cultivate again, to check costly evaporation. Do not take it for granted that, because there is a dense growth of moisture on the surface, there is plenty of moisture below.Get a soil auger, probe the depth of your soil and learn the truth.

Fullerton, Calif., 4-29-3t BRIDGES FOR NATIONAL FORESTS As the Germans retreated their last effort was always directed at the destruction of the bridges behind them. The United States army engineers were prepared for this and were supplied with what is known as "fabricated material"—steel girders and trusses all drilled at the factory and ready to be set up across the Aisne or the Marne, or whatever river it happened to be, so that Yank could cross and again close with his foes. The end of the war came too soon to make it necessary to use all this bridge material, and the bureau of public roads, United States department of agriculture, has its engineers on the problem of adapting the surplus for use in the forest reserves and national parks. "Fabricated material" means that the parts are ready drilled for connection. This steelwork is, in short, easily handled sections—no part weighs over 2,856 pounds—and it probably will lend itself as easily to the uses of the summer vacationist as to the hobnailled tramp of an armed infantryman moving at double-quick. Besides 168 spans of drilled material, there is at Camp Humphreys, Vt., about 900 tons of unfabricated stuff. This will be examined by experts and much of it will be used in the national forests. A rough estimate places the value of this surplus material at about $300,000. Champ Clark's presidential boom has been launched in his son-in-law's paper at New Orleans.

But some day, it is to be feared, there must be a show-down and a decision. Either the public is to be master and to rule in behalf of the general interest or the masses must adjust themselves as best they can, as the masses have done in other ages, to the mastery of selfish class minorities.
