Once You've Worn One You'll never wear any other than a NEMO; for the "Nemo Corset" fills every requirement—the most comfortable to wear the most flattering to your figure. Nemo SELF-REDUCING SERVICE —with their firm but gentle persuasiveness, take years from your age and give you not only the slender lines—but the delightful elasticity—of youth. The Corset Equal to Any Occasion The S.O.R. Store Several Anaheim parties spent the midnight hour on different nights and at different places last week combing the sands for grunion. The little fish were out in large numbers and the parties all report excellent success in capturing them. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Phil Steafather at the corner of Chartres and Santa Fe streets, was the scene of much gaiety last week, following announcement of the coming marriage of their daughter, Miss Mary Tubach. On Thursday evening fellow employees of Miss Mary at the Woolworth store gathered at her home bearing gifts and good wishes, and on the following night the young people of St. Boniface's church repeated the affair. The bride-to-be was the recipient of many beautiful and appropriate presents. Captain Alexander Henry was a disappointed man when his cannon failed to function on Decoration Day. On the previous night he parked the gun in front of his residence, burnished it and swabbed it, and on the morning of Decoration Day had it conveyed to the cemetery where he expected to fire a salute over the graves of the honored dead. But the gun failed to go, and after repeated attempts the captain gave it up. On examination he found that somebody had rammed a handful of grass down the barrel, presumably while it was praked on the street during the night. Fire Chief Fischle makes the suggestion that all automobile owners carry their own fire entanguisher. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Chapman, who have just returned from Hawaii, were tendered a reception by the Fullerton Christian church Thursday evening. The evening was informal and there were a number of short talks from various members of the congregation to which both Mr. and Mrs. Chapman responded. Among the speakers were Dean Boyce, Mrs. Jennie Curtis, W. S. Randall and H. N. McKee. Miss Florence Randall gave a delightful reading and Dr. Wickett recounted some humorous experiences which came under his observation while he was in the service. Mr. and Mrs. Chapman expressed their appreciation of the evening and Mr. Chapman also gave a brief account of their trip to the Hawaiian Islands, including a visit to the famous volcano on Hilo island where a lake of boiling lava is a source of never ending wonder to visitors and of interests to scientists. The evening closed with delightful refreshments. West Anaheim is beginning to take on the appearance of an Avocado section. F. B. Kealihier has just set out an orchard of an acre to budded trees of varieties imported from Guatemala. Charles Lange has over an acre out, as has Earl C. Dutton, who is preparing to set three acres more. The first trees in the district were planted by Dutton over ten years ago. The fruit sells in Los Angeles and San Francisco for from $6 to $12 per dozen with the demand always exceeding the supply. Strange and wonderful are the properties of some of the home brew con- Mrs. Margaret Bayley has petitioned the superior court for asking the death of Joan for the termination in two lots at Aanhi on December 26, 1911 represented by Atto. Bennett P. Baxter through Attorney Icently filed his petition of the will of Lucy died at her home in 2, leaving an estate ultimately $10,000, most ered by an orange. A.W.

The proper proximately $5,000 alms that Luci Alda Fire Chief Fischle makes the suggestion that all automobile owners carry their own fire extinguishers which cost about $7.50 apiece. Many times when an auto catches fire a spray of the extinguishing fluid will put out the fire before it makes any headway. The other night when an alarm was sent in the fire truck responded promptly, but when arriving on the scene the fire in the auto had been put out by a passing auto driver who stopped and gave first aid with his fire extinguisher. It is hardly right to call out the fire department, especially at 1 o'clock in the morning to quench the fire in an auto when the owner himself should provide means for his own safety. To show how efficient the local department is when the early morning alarm was turned in, fifteen of the eighteen members of the company responded immediately. As the members are volunteers this speaks well of them and is a credit to their chief. The county officials and employees will hold a picnic at the county park Saturday. A sporting program has been arranged, and prizes are offered to the winners. Postmaster Ahlborn and Walter Hodges are making calculations to attend the democratic national convention in San Francisco. Herman Efker was in Los Angeles Monday on business. Strange and wonderful are the properties of some of the home brew concoctions in these prohibition days. It is reported that two ducks recently swallowed the dregs that had been dumped from a home brew bottle. They immediately became hilarious, broke out of their reservation, went on the rampage, and attacked and bit a policeman. Then they waddled off to a quiet place, turned up their toes and died. Mickey Burns has taken up his abode on the Mills reservation, an island in the offing near Anaheim landing. Mickey came to this country many years ago and landed at New Orleans a few days before the celebrated fight between John L. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan. Mickey being an admirer of the great John L. placed a good sized roll upon Sullivan and had a great time for several days thereafter. Now that he is entering upon the evening side of life Mickey has decided to go to his quiet sequestered resort to spend several months at least enjoying himself. Mickey's intimate friends say he has had a proposal of marriage—this being ILeap Year—but as he has faced the world alone all these years, it is doubtful if he will fall for any matromonial venture at this late day. He may be content to live on the island and view the mermaids by day and dream of them by night while rocked to sleep by the murmuring waves of the restless sea.

Objection to the killing of the birds is made by growers because of the fact that the birds live to a great extent off codling moth. The use of airguns in this way is prohibited by law, as is also the killing of the birds. Mrs. Hugh Morgan, a three-weeks' bride, who accidentally shot herself through the heart May 20 at her home in Arizona, was a sister of Mrs. P. G. Lucas of Cypress. The accident that resulted in the death of a happy bride was caused by reaching in a bureau drawer for a handkerchief or veil which in some manner fired a revolver. The bullet glazed the right wrist and glanced to the body where it passed through the heart. Death was instantaneous. The Eather Newell well is reported to have come in at a depth of about 3600 feet and is running about 600 barrels a day. This well is of special importance as it shows the importance as it shows the Placentia oil field to extend further north than has herefore been supposed. The new well is almost a mile north of Chapman No. 1 and in connection with thenew Standard well which recently came in on the south border of the field, it demonstrates that the pool is not nearly so narrow as had been supposed. It is said the new well shows strong gas pressure which forced the oil to the surface before the mud and water had Bud Sackett, who presides over the destinies of the Big Four street sweeper is out these mornings at daylight giving the downtown thoroughfares the once over and more if necessary. Bud likes to go fishing when they are biting good, and is also thinking seriously of taking a whirl at wild boar hunting on Santa Cruz island if he could find time to make the trip. Bud is keen for sport and allows some of those pork chops would be just about right. Frank Davis gets onto his job easily, being up with the lark and ready for business when others are yet sawing wood. Frank is of cheerful disposition and delights in spreading sunshine among his friends who chance to meet up with him at break of day. Capt. Alexander Henry remains a staunch supporter of the library block as a park site. The captain is a pioneer resident and is ever ready to put his shoulder to the wheel and help boost the town; and if need be, would bring out his cannon to enliven the occasion. Fred Minyard has rigged up an electric battery at the fire station and during spare moments gives his friends an exhilarating shock. When several call at once Fred has them take hands, the two end men holding to the wire chain in front of the gangway, and he proceeds to give them the current. Some assimilate more than others, while all enjoy the thrills, as they say it is good for your system. Milton Moore has disposed of his property on North Philadelphia street, and has remamed with his family. The annual flag day ceremony observed by the Elks will be held at the Grand theater Sunday, beginning at 2:30 in the afternoon. The program arranged is an interesting one. The doors are open to all, and a cordial invitation is extended to the public. Jess Vrooman found a gold ring among his street sweepings Tuesday, and now he is anxious to find the owner. In order to help Jess relieve his consciencious mind by restoring the property to the rightful owner we print this found ad gratis. R. B. Herman and family some weeks ago had as their guest an eastern relative, and of course, sightseeing tours were among the entertaining features accorded their visitor. But as luck would have it whenever they picked a day for travel they encountered a rainstorm of one sort or another in the various sections visited. The easterner began to think that our much heralded climate was a hoax. However, before her departure many days of fine weather were experienced. Recent exchange of letters bring information from the eastern end of the line that weather there has been not of the best, and Mr. Herman is firm in his belief that their relative will soon be journeying again westward, regardless of the disagreeable rainstorms encountered here upon her recent sojourn. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company and sixteen other telephone companies operating in California, in a joint application filed Thursday with the railroad commission ask for a modification of the commission's general order No. 57 issued ANCE as it shows the Placentia oil field to extend further north than has here-tofore been supposed. The new well is almost a mile north of Chapman No. 1 and in connection with thenew Standard well which recently came in on the south border of the field, it demonstrates that the pool is not nearly so narrow as had been supposed. It is said the new well shows strong gas pressure which forced the oil to the surface before the mud and water had been bailed out. Mrs. Margaret Bayha of Kern County has petitioned the Orange county superior court for a decree establishing the death of Jonothan Bayha and for the termination of his life estate in two lots at Aanheim. Bayha died on December 26, 1917. Mrs. Bayha is represented by Attorney L. C. Claflin. Bennett P. Baxter of Anaheim, through Attorney Leonard Evans recently filed his petition for probate of the will of Lucy Ann Baxter, who died at her home in Anaheim on March 2, leaving an estate valued at approximately $10,000, most of which is covered by an orange ranch. A. W. Wood, who surrendered the marshalship to N. F. Steadman last week, immediately stepped into a business of his own. He has purchased the oil station on Lemon street in front of the White bus depot. Samuel McCoy, aged 83, of Anaheim, through Opal Wiley, his guardian at law, and Attorneys H. V. Wejsel and C. N. Mozley, has filed suit in the superior court against Mr. and Mrs. Ed McCoy, of Santa Ana, asking for the cancellation and setting aside of a deed which they hold to his home place in Anaheim and which, it is alleged in the complaint was secured through fraud. The complaint alleges that McCoy is an aged man and incompetent to handle his own affairs and that his son and daughter-in-law, with intent to cheat and defraud him of his property, induced him to allow them to live with him at Anaheim in 1917. In August of that year, the elder McCoy deeded his home place on Citron street to Mrs. McCoy. The property is valued at approximately $5,000. The complaint calls that Lucy Aldrich of Anaheim be journeying again westward, regardless of the disagreeable rainstorms encountered here upon her recent sojourn. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company and sixteen other telephone companies operating in California, in a joint application filed Thursday with the railroad commission ask for a modification of the commission's general order No. 57 issued at the time control of the wire companies was restored to the private owners by the government. It is claimed by the companies that the order, which puts into effect all the rules and regulations enforced by the railroad commission prior to the time the wire companies were placed under the management of Postmaster General Burleson, involves terms and conditions which, unless modified will cause losses to the companies. Ben Yorba was a business visitor in town Monday. THE FLORSHEIM SHOE BE CAREFUL how you buy shoes these days. Prices are deceptive. Ordinary shoes that cost almost as much as Florsheims are not worth half. Some almost as good are nary shoes that cost almost as much as Florsheims are not worth half. Some almost as good are offered at fancy figures. Stick to a name you know and to values you are sure of—and you'll get style, fit, comfort, character, as well as quality.

Home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes FALKENSTEIN'S Semi-Annual "SALES Of WHITE" Now In Progress See the Windows for Particulars FALKENSTEIN'S Now In Progress See the Windows for Particulars FALKENSTEIN'S The home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bentjen was the scene of a pretty wedding Friday afternoon when their daughter, Miss Tillie Bentjen was united in marriage to Richard Heltshusen, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Heitsheusen. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Lena Bentjen, while the groom was supported by his brother John during the ceremony, Rev. H. G. Schmelzer being the officiating clergyman. After a sumptuous wedding dinner the bride and groom left in an auto for a honeymoon trip, but declined to state where they expected to go. Among the many wedding presents received by the newlyweds was a 23-acre ranch near Puente, presented by the groom's father, Dick Heitshusen, and on this the young couple will make their home. Miss Laura Eckart, who for several months has been a nurse at the Johnston & Wickett hospital, died Thursday after a week's illness. The remains were taken to her home in Ontario where funeral services were held Saturday. Miss Eckart was for two years a nurse in the army. A three-weeks' summer school is now in session at the Fremont building for the benefit of pupils who were behind in their grades, and others who were promoted and want to get a boost. The school opened Thursday. Henry Marshall, photographer, had his leather lifted about nine o'clock Monday night, presumably by a woman who accosted him on the street. The pocketbook contained $50. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Pedestrians on the streets of Anaheim have been running up against some strange and picturesquely dressed persons during a week or more past. Beautiful ladies with lavishly-powdered faces, carmined lips and brilliant multi-colored costumes, cowboys bearing all the earmarks of the range, fiercely-mustached villains and Rubes from Rubeville are encountered almost any time in the afternoon, leading a stranger to believe that a street masquerade is in progress. But they all belong to the Majestic Film company which is staging a movie play in this city. After giving the field the once over Director Rodgers thought portions of Anaheim would look well on the screen, so he brought his company here and began work. It is said the company has bought property on Broadway and will erect a studio, making this city headquarters. The other evening "Tex" Choate came up town accompanied by his little daughter, when a hystander asked him who was his little friend. "I ain't his little friend," replied the child, "I see his best girl." Samuel Kraemer was telling the world Monday that he is now a grandpa, but is not feeling any older because of it. A daughter was born Saturday to Mr. and Mrs. Sam junior, and everybody concerned is getting along nicely. John Selinger motored into town a few days ago with his family from their home on East Orangethorpe avenue and visited with relatives and friends. Henry Marshall, photographer, had his leather lifted about nine o'clock Monday night, presumably by a woman who accosted him on the street. The pocketbook contained $50. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE First Church of Christ, Scientist, corner of Philadelphia and Chartres streets. Sunday service at 11 a.m. Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. A meeting Wednesday at 7:45 p.m., at which testimonials of healing are given. Free reading room in the First National Bank building, rooms 304 and 305; open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Sundays and legal holidays, where the Bible and authorized Christian Science literature may be read, borrowed or purchased if desired. The public is cordially welcome. What sort of an administration is it that, in times such as these, when the American people are staggering under their burdens, with taxes high and food scarce, with vexing home problems streching in every direction, attempts to impose on that people the vast additional burden of policing a part of Asia, one of the world's trouble centers, at an expense that would run into unknown billions? Can you imagine Washington or Jefferson or Jackson or Lincoln or Cleveland or Roosevelt giving countenance to such a plan? There is a sense of security and satisfaction in reflecting that whoever the next president may be, he is extremely likely to be an American and not an internationalist, a man who believes in America first. A. C. Bowers and Mrs. A. C. Bowers of Santa Ana have filed suit for $5300 damages against George Chesbore, a motion picture actor, for damages received in an auto accident. The accident occurred south of Anaheim, near the county hospital, on September 6, just half an hour before Captain Alexander Henry was injured at the same place. For the first time in the history of the Orange county courts, the testimony of an important witness in a case on trial was taken Monday over the telephone and admitted as evidence. The testimony was that of Dr. H. A. Johnston, summoned as a witness in the case of Mrs. Sue M. King of Anaheim, against H. M. Wilking of Los Angeles. Action was brought by Mrs. King to secure damages amounting to approximately $3500 as a result of the buggy in which she was riding being struck by an automobile driven by the defendant. Mrs. King alleges she was thrown from the buggy and sustained serious injuries. The accident occurred in July, 1919. Mrs. King was attended by Dr. Johnston following the accident and the testimony taken over the telephone from him was as to the extent of Mrs. King's injuries. Dr. Johnston was excused from appearing in court because of the death Saturday night of his brother, R. J. H. Johnston.
