The S.Q.R. Store "The Home of Queen Quality Shoes" E. E. Smith has returned from his vacation and is once more on duty behind the bars at the Golden State National Bank. The Wisconsin association will hold its annual picnic and reunion at Sycamore Grove Saturday, August 28. Preparations are making to take care of a large crowd, as thousands of Badgers are expected to attend. A stray bullet passed through a window into the sitting room of Fred Dyckman's home Sunday night and embedded itself in the back of his son Arthur. It was not a serious wound—the bullet lodging just beneath the skin, and Mr. Dyckman was able to extract it himself. It was fired from a 22-calibre rifle, presumably by a boy who was careless in handling the gun. It came from and orange grove, and efforts to locate the person handling the weapon were futile. Sunday was an unpleasantly warm day in the open air, but in the boiler room at the Anaheim brewery it was so hot that Harry Boyd, the engineer, was overcome. With nobody to regulate the fire, one of the boilers became overheated, and an alarm was turned in for the fire department as soon as it was discovered. The boys responded, but found no fire. Boyd was in a serious condition for a time, but is now recovering. BAND CONCERT TONIGHT Following is the program of the con- All of the Masonic lodges and Eastern Star chapters in Orange county will unite in a picnic at Orange county park on Labor Day, September 6. A general committee from the various organizations has the arrangements in charge and the notifications sent out to members instruct them to bring nothing but an appetite. Aside from the dinner there will be various entertainment features, including some "secret stuff" to be pulled off by a committee headed by Sam Stein of Santa Ana. Much interest has been aroused in the gathering, and it is expected that there will be a very large attendance. Jim McAulay was on the job packing oranges this week in Placentia after a short layoff. Commonwealth avenue, Fullerton, is to have another new block, work on which is expected to start this week as plans are already completed. The new block will be built by Adam Brandle on his lot just west of the Wickersheim Implement company buildings. It will be a brick structure, 75x100 feet in size and will be modern in every particular. The Taggart Motor company of Anaheim has secured a long lease on the new building, which will add one more automobile house to Commonwealth's auto row. Mr. Brandle was first contemplating putting up a two story building; the second floor to be used as a rooming house, but he has given up that idea and will only build a one-story building. BAND CONCERT TONIGHT Following is the program of the concert to be given by the Anaheim Elks Band at the library grounds tonight at 8 o'clock sharp: 1—March Stars and Stripes Forever ...

Mr. and Mrs. Ed Schneider and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mauer are at home again after a trip to San Francisco. V. W. Hannum and Guy Pollard are out gunning for deer this week. Quarterly meeting of the M. E. church was held last week, and reports of officials show the church is in excellent condition. The membership is steadily increasing, and all the reports were satisfactory. The Ladies Aid-reported $904 collected during the year by that society. Trustees elected for the coming year were W. M. Wellman, Charles Eygabroad, C. W. Harvey, J. H. Clabaugh and O. E. Steward. The stewards are Wm. Wagner, F. T. Edmiston, Perry Mathis, E. L. Hein, Paul Taggart, W. S. Price, W. B. Allen, H. W. Lewis, G. M. Tedrick, U. S. Amack, E. C. Kahley, J. C. Osher, J. L. Beebe, Mrs. P. Machleb, Mrs. M. Terry, Miss Bella Walker, Warren Mathis, J. L. Moore, W. J. Ellott, Geo. Allen, H. S. Jayne, S. R. Coate, Mrs. Geo. Tedrick. A son was born Monday morning at the sanitarium to Mrs. and Mrs. H. b. Elker. He is a healthy infant and already shows evidence of musical ability, according to Herman. LOCAL NOTES The trustees will probably hear some loud objections to the increase in real estate assessments when they meet as a board of equalization tomorrow, notwithstanding the fact that the raise in assessment is not as great proportionately as the increase in the actual market value of the property. "If any man who has a grievance and demands a reduction," said one of the trustees, 'will give me an option on his property at three times the figure we have placed upon it for taxation, I will agree to vote for a reduction of his assessment. Our valuation is yet too low." Orange county has led the way in the introduction of a county ordinance to limit the loading of trucks that travel over the boulevards. Already one arrest has been made for violation of this ordinance. Indication are that the Orange county ordinance will serve as a pattern for counties and cities of Southern California, with the association of truckmen of the Southland cooperating in the movement to make the regulation uniform in all the counties. At a recent meeting at Corona of men representing the larger trucking concerns, the matter of uniform regulations was discussed. The Orange county ordinance was considered as fair and it was suggested that similar ordinance be drafted and submitted to the boards of supervisors of Riverside, San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Carroll left Monday on a month's tour, during which they will visit Yellowstone National Park, Crater Lake, Lake Tahoe, and Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Rust are at Oakland, having gone north some weeks ago for the benefit of the former's health. Mr. Rust is suffering with hardening of the arteries and high blood pressure, and has been seriously ill, but an improvement is reported in his condition. He and his wife are expected to return here the first of September. They will be accompanied by their daughter, Miss Elsie Rust, who is motoring across the continent with a party of friends from New Jersey. Mr. Rust is one of the pioneer residents of this section, and his many friends will indulge the hope that he may speedily regain his usual robust health. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Tubach, who were visiting here for the past couple of weeks, left Sunday for their home in San Francisco, accompanied by Mr. Tubach's mother, Mrs. Steafather, who will spend some weeks in the northern city. They motored to San Pedro and took a steamship for the north. George M. Ross of Anaheim has been appointed one of a committee of three for the California Walnut Growers association to draft a policy of taking new members into the organization. C. Thorpe, manager of the state association will take a trip east soon to investigate market conditions and dispose of walnuts on hand. Ross is secretary and general manager of the Anaheim Walnut Growers association. Reckless auto drivers should take warning from the experience recently of two men who were sentenced to the county jail for carelessness in handling their cars on the highways. The boulevards of Orange county are going to be made safe for sane drivers and such drivers are going to be protected against the reckless, so far as it is possible for two county motor- LAST COURT HOUSE BOND PAID OFF The Orange county court house is now free of debt, the last outstanding bond having been paid off Tuesday by County Treasurer Joplin. The bond bore the date of December 30, 1899. The bonds paid four and one-half per cent interest, the interest on the last bond being $21.25. The issue was sold to H. C. Rogers of Pasadena for par, accrued interest and a premium of $4,525.10. The 100,000 issue was voted on September 4, 1899, and was to pay for the erection and furnishing of the building. The successful bidders for the building work were Contractors Blee & McNeill of Santa Ana, their bid having been $91,896. The bonds were signed by F. P. Nickey as chairman of the board of supervisors, J. H. Hall as county auditor and W. A. Beckett as county clerk. Members of the board besides Nickey at the time the bonds were voted were W. G. Potter, D.C. Pixley, J. F. Snover and R. E. Larter. All reside in Orange county except Snover, whose home is in Stanislaus county. Tuesday F. P. Nickey declared that a building such as the court house would cost $250,000 to build now. At the time the present structure was erected labor was one of the cheapest things that entered into building operations, and material was much cheaper than it is now. It has always been the contention of the people that the county got full value for its money, not a dollar being lost by graft. The bond turned in Tuesday was No. 96 and was payable July 1. It was received from a Glendale bank by a Santa Ana banking institution and was badly worn. At one place where the bond was folded it was badly scorched, evidently having gone through a fire. This store is the home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes Reckless auto drivers should take warning from the experience recently of two men who were sentenced to the county jail for carelessness in handling their cars on the highways. The boulevards of Orange county are going to be made safe for sane drivers and such drivers are going to be protected against the reckless, so far as it is possible for two county motorcycle officers to patrol the roads. Justice Cox is backing up the campaign by sending wilful violators to the county jail. One was sentenced to fifteen days and another of ten days within the past two weeks. Lots of driving that is termed reckless is being done thru ignorance and it will stand most everyone in hand to give a little study to traffic regulations and road rules. It might save a jail sentence. The deer season opened Sunday and many mighty hunters from this section are combing the happy hunting founds. The buck that managers to keep himself alive until the 15th of next month is wiley or a lucky animal. Motoring guests are passing through almost every city and village in the land. With the growth of these thousands of summer auto trips, for-seeing towns, public officials and private citizens, have begun to "bait" the tourist in successful attempts to cause them to tarry in their midst. Cities all over the country might well go and do likewise. The object is two-fold—commercial and sentimental. It is being accomplished by establishing municipal camp grounds for the passing motorists. Sowing these camping places, merchants reap in sales of goods to the campers, and the town is well spoken of when the campers go on their way, an asset of cumulative value that increases after the manner of a snowball. One is likely to think of a little city if he sees by the side of the highway as he drives toward the city limits a sign saying "Welcome—Free Camp Site Further on," and a "Goodbye" sign, with "Come Again" on it, as he departs. Marysville has set one of the best examples, and other towns can profit from this endeavor. A central plot has been provided in the city limits. Main roads are posted as to how to reach it. There are 12 shelter houses, each big enough for a party. There are gas meters that work if one drops in a quarter. There are water hydrants, and garbage receptacles, and waste paper containers. There's an incinerator so waste paper may be disposed of. There is a "service house" with a big central room, and there are writing tables, and ink and pens that will write, and writing paper. There's a free telephone, show operations, and material was much cheaper than it is now. It has always been the contention of the people that the county got full value for its money, not a dollar being lost by graft. The bond turned in Tuesday was No. 96 and was payable July 1. It was received from a Glendale bank by a Santa Ana banking institution and was badly worn. At one place where the bond was folded it was badly scorched, evidently having gone through a fire. One unusual feature of the payment of the bond was the fact that it was paid by J. C. Joplin, county treasurer, who was also in charge of the county's funds at the time the bonds were issued.

GRANTS DRAINAGE DISTRICT PETITION The board of supervisors granted the petition for the formation of the Cypress drainage district as outlined in the original plans. The new district will include within its borders approximately 5000 acres of land. The unanimous affirmative vote on the petition brought forth a round of hand clapping from those favoring the formation of the district. Practically the entire morning was spent in arguing the case by attorneys representing the two factions. Attorney Clyde Bishop represented the protestants and Attorney H. C. Head and John N. Anderson represented the petitioners. The petition came up for hearing at last week's meeting and the entire matter was submitted at that time, but only three members of the board being present final action was deferred until Tuesday when all members of the board were present. Every Coat, Suit, Dress or Skirt Is Now Offered At End-of-the-Season Prices See the Windows Falkenstein's See the Windows Falkenstein's The next move in the establishment of the district will be the appointment of an engineer by the board to prepare plans and specifications of the ditches and fix the amount to be assessed against each property owner. A LISTENING MACHINE A new instrument for testing and listening to sounds within the earth has been perfected by United States engineers, and is said to be extremely sensitive. It has long been known that the earth—as well as water, air and ether—conveys vibrations, which can be converted into systematic messages by the appropriate means; and indeed a system of wireless telegraphy, using the earth itself as the transmitting "wire," has long been employed. We have perfected the "hydrophone" for detecting the sounds in water; wireless apparatus for catching the invisible signals flashing thru the ether, and various "amplifying" pieces o fapparatus for increasing the volume of sound conveyed through the air. Now we have an apparatus for catching the sounds which the earth itself conveys! This "geophone" depends for its operation upon a principle already in general use—namely, the "magnaphone"—a mechanism which increases and magnifies all sounds enormously. Some of these instruments are so delicate that a fly, walking across the instrument, would emerge as a resounding roar; the slightest movement can be detected instantly. The rapid movement of a gnat's wings will come forth like a young airplane, and so on. These devices were found extremely useful during the war, to detect enemy underground operations. THE STATE'S REGISTRATION Reports from all counties except Santa Clara show the registration for the August primary election to be 1,209,961, of which total 745,620 are citizens. The figures are unofficial. WHY BUY POOR BREAD WHEN YOU CAN GET GOOD The Health of Your Children Depends Upon the Bread You Give Them Why should a housewife buy an inferior quality of bread for her household when she can get the best at the same price? Breed is the staff of life and the most important article of diet, therefore you should be particular in seeing that your bread is pure, wholesome and well baked. Make up your mind right now that your next bread order will be for the best bread on the market. There is never any doubt about getting the best if you order Dresser's White Lily Bread—at all the leading grocers or at the Bakery.—Adv. The Anaheim Elks Band is offering the people an unexpected treat tonight. Little Sarah Muirhead, the six-year-old St. Louis child actress, who is famous on the screen and the stage, will sing two songs at the open air concert on the library grounds. Little Miss Muirhead, with her mother, is visiting friends at Buena Park, and has agreed to entertain the crowd at the band concert this evening. This little girl is a natural actress. She is already famous, and promises to be a second Mary Pickford. She is under contract to appear at Grauman's in Los Angeles, beginning Monday night. If you want to see and hear this prodigy of the stage would, go early tonight and get in the front row. COL.

The figures are unofficial. The registration is the greatest in the history of the state. For the presidential primary, May 4, the registration was only 1,111,192. The registration for the 1918 primary was 722,881. The unofficial figures for the fifty-seven counties follows: Republicans 745,620; democrats 275,929; prohibitionists 18,903; socialists 18,625; progressives 6,573; decline to state 141,821; scattering 2,490. William Kolb of Brea was held to answer to the superior court by Justice of the Peace Cox following his preliminary hearing on a charge of non-support of a minor child. Kolb was represented by Attorney Leonard Evans of Anaheim. Deputy District Attorney Alex P. Nelson was in charge of the prosecution. Kolb was released from custody under $500 bail. The case of Denton Gray of Fullerton, charged with passing a fictitious check on Anton Kluewer, Anaheim restaurant man, and in which a jury in Judge West's court disagreed several weeks ago, was continued by Judge West until January 14, 1921. Gray was represented by Attorney C. N. Mozley of Anaheim. FOR SALE — Thoroughbrad Flemish Glants rabbits and hutches at a reasonable price. 422 W. South street. COL. HOUSE THE AUTHORITY Senator Harding has thrown a monkey wrench into the machinery of the democratic bandwagon that not only threatens to stay there, but to slow that vehicle down to a slow walk. He has charged that the "peace" for which President Wilson has been so pathetically pleading, could have been brought about as far back as two years ago, had not the action been prevented by the president himself. And, the senator bases his charge on no less authority than a positive statement made by Col. Ed. House, who at that time was proxy president, in complete touch with all that was going on between Mr. Wilson and the allies. Max Junge, who was visiting in this city the first of the week after a five-months' absence, expressed himself as very much surprised at the improvement during that short period. Buildings, he declared, had apparently sprung up like mushrooms, and many more are in course of construction. ALFALFA ACREAGE FOR SALE— 215 acres, all in splendid stand, alfalfa in second year.
