VOLUME L. THOUSANDS VIEW ARMISTICE DAY PARADE BEAUTIFUL AND SPECTACULAR PAGEANT WAS WITNESS-ED BY MULTITUDE. American Legion Celebration A Wonderful Success—All Orange County Visits Anaheim and Participates. In The Festivities—City of Anaheim Float Takes First Prize, Fullerton D. of V. the Second. It was a difficult problem that confronted Judge Z. B. West, Hon. C. C. Chapman and Hon. Richard Melrose to render decisions and award prizes for the best displays in the Armistice Day parade last Thursday. The numerous floats were all so beautiful and meritorious, that it is a wonder the three judges finally seceeded in agreeing. After much discussion they awarded first prize to peril of being run over. Stroup's float bore a cargo of "hot dogs" from which the multitude that crowded the sidewalks was fed. Harry D. Riley's display emphasized the evolution of the farm wagon. It was headed by a 1921 model, and graded down to an 1865 Studebaker at the tail. A formidable appearing army tank, looking like it had just emerged from the Argonne, lumbered along about the middle of the procession. It was built around a Fordson tractor, and was entered by George Dunton. The procession was lead by Harry Feltinge, armed with a bugle, acting as herald. Then came the grand marshal, Ernest Braunlich, and his aides, Miss Katharine Schultz, Marcus Andrade, A. S. Osborn, Sam Snodgrass, Evan Miller, Hugo Schultz and J. W. Wallop. Following is the order in which the units were lined up: Decorated fire truck, Anaheim fire department; Grandma Kellogg, widow of Mexican War Veteran, in automobile; G. A. R. Veterans of Orange county; Spanish War Veterans; Fullerton band; American Legion Posts of Anaheim, Brea, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Orange and Santa Ana; American Red Cross ambulance; American Red Cross float; Fullerton Red Cross float; Knights of Columbus BUY A LITTLE YOUR NAME Anaheim's Quote Dollars Shoul Saturday Night Every House Members—He Studebaker G Angeles Street Sixteen hundred Anaheim is exp Red Cross drive call which beg next Monday, hundred membe dividual holds but many persc scribe more tha It was a difficult problem that confronted Judge Z. B. West, Hon. C. C. Chapman and Hon. Richard Melrose to render decisions and award prizes for the best displays in the Armistice Day parade last Thursday. The numerous floats were all so beautiful and meritorious, that it is a wonder the three judges finally seceeded in agreeing. After much discussion they awarded first prize to the city of Anaheim and the second to Julia Ward Howe Tent, daughters of veterans, of Fullerton. The Anaheim float, designed and constructed under the supervision of Trustee Howard Gates represented Anaheim's tribute to the soldier boys. It was a beautiful creation, as was also the white float entered by the Fullerton ladies. Nobody questioned the decision of the judges, although many others were equally beautiful in the eyes of many. The prize in each case was a silver cup given by the Dutton Jewelry Co. Santa Ana Post, American Legion, was awarded the prize for the largest marching delegation in the parade, and Fullerton Post won the cup for the largest number riding. Only one cup had been provided for this department. It was given by the Johnston & Wickett clinic, but when the judges awarded two the donors promptly provided another one. The Anaheim Elks easily won the prize for the largest marching unit, several hundred of them being in line. This was a silver cup donated by Fritz Kluewer of the Dew Drop Inn. The judges decided the Bob White garage had the best decorated car in line, and awarded the prize given by William Falkenstein. It was a merchandise order for $10 in goods or $10 in cash. Patrolman Marcus Andrade won a prize for being the most imposing figure in the parade. This was not on the program, but F. A. Yungbluth thought he deserved it and presented him with a new hat. There were three bands in the procession, all making inspiring music throughout the long march. The Fullerton band took the lead, being in line immediately following the fire department. The Anaheim band lead the Elks, while the Santa Ana band headed the large section from the county capital. Promptly at 11 o'clock Cap't. Alex Henry, who was stationed on the Broadway school grounds, fired the first shot of his eleven-gun salute.

Promptly at 11 o'clock Cap't. Alex Henry, who was stationed on the Broadway school grounds, fired the first shot of his eleven-gun salute. This was the signal for starting, and the great body, which had been formed under the direction of Post Commander W. P. Webb, Jr. got under way. The line of march was west on Broadway to Citron, north on Citron to Center, east on Center to the Santa Fe tracks, where all the units fell out and doubled back. The procession was at least two miles long and occupied an hour in passing. Thousands of people thronged the sidewalks throughout the entire length of the line of march and generously cheered the different units as they passed. They deserved applause, as they presented in the aggregate a display superior to anything of the kind ever witnessed in the county. Much of the credit is due Santa Ana, Fullerton and other towns for joining with Anaheim and making the Armistice Day celebration a glorious success. Every individual unit in the procession deserves especial mention, but to do them justice would require unlimited space. Some of them were not only beautiful but unique, and works of art. The S. Q. R. and Stroup's Meat Market floats appeared to be the most popular—especially among the youngsters. The S.Q.R. float was driven by Uncle Sam and carried Buster Brown and his dog, Tige. Buster was kept busy along the entire line throwing out prizes to the hundreds of boys who flocked about him in imminent Bakery; M. E.

In Section 4 were the Santa Ana marching delegations and automobiles, headed by the Santa Ana band and City Marshal Sam Jernigan. In presenting the prizes, C. C. Chapman, one of the judges, said: "Nov. 11, two years ago, there was untold rejoicing the world over because of the end of the greatest war in the world which took its toll of ten million men; enough, if their graves were laid side by side, to reach from New York City to Anaheim and 500 miles out into the Pacific," said Mr. Chapman. "Today is a very fitting celebration and one should feel proud of the honor of being permitted to take part in an affair of this kind. But in this expression of joy underneath there is a tinge of sorrow because the brave men who went on before are gone but none forgotten. We cannot forget the 60,000 young Americans who are sleeping beneath the sod of France. They will live on in our hearts and in the hearts of the American people so long as the U.S. is a nation. Their glory is of a lustre that will never be dimmed." WATCH 'EM With the exception of Tennessee and Oklahoma, the South voted solidly for the Democratic ticket as usual. Now are we to assume that when revision of the tariff takes place the South will resist any effort to put Southern products on the list of protected commodities? NAHEIM GAZET Anaheim, California, Thursday, November 18, 1920 RED CROSS DRIVE FOR MEMBERS NOW ON BUY A LITTLE BUTTON AND GET YOUR NAME ON THE ROLL OF HONOR. Anaheim's Quota of Sixteen Hundred Dollars Should Be Raised Before Saturday Night—Workers Will Visit Every House In Town Soliciting Members—Headquarters At The Studebaker Garage on South Los Angeles Street. Sixteen hundred dollars is the quota Anaheim is expected to raise in the Red Cross drive, or the annual roll call which began Monday and ends next Monday. This means sixteen hundred members, provided each individual holds but one membership, but many persons will probably subscribe more than one dollar. A meeting was held in the directors zona during the Red Cross Roll Call period. California State Federation of Labor stands pledged to enroll all of its members through local groups; every fraternal organization in the three states has been authorized by its state and district officers to work for the Red Cross Roll Call; Women's clubs have joined in the plan in many places and Rotary Clubs have been authorized to lend their interest by action of their National Headquarters organization. Boy Scouts and the vast army of boys and girls constituting the Junior Red Cross are also identified with the movement to re-enroll adults in the American Red Cross. These youths are being called upon for numerous little services that properly belong to a boy and a girl who would learn their lesson of citizenship early. WATER BOARD MEETING Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Co. met Saturday afternoon and transacted the following business: Ditch committee reported that C. E. Holcomb would rent his pipe line on No. Los Angeles St. Anaheim to the A.U.W.Co. for a nominal rent of $1.00 per year.

This means sixteen hundred members, provided each individual holds but one membership, but many persons will probably subscribe more than one dollar. A meeting was held in the directors room of the First National Bank Friday evening, at which an organization was effected, captains and workers appointed, and arrangements made for campaign. It is to be hoped the people will respond readily, and that by Saturday night the proposed membership will be secured. A house-to-house canvass will be made in order to give all the ladies an opportunity to join. At all the churches in Anaheim mention was made of the drive Sunday, and the people urged to join. Harry D. Riley is chairman of the forces at work in this city, and headquarters have been established in the Studebaker garage on South Los Angeles street. Those who have volunteered to work in the cause are: Chapter roll call chairman, Harry D. Riley; chairman of publicity, Malcolm Fraser; executive committee, Harry D.

Jessurun, Victor Loly, Oscar Renner, and Homer G. Ames. Thousands of churches Sunday proclaimed the American Red Cross as the greatest peace time organization the United States has ever known. Ministers recalled in talks from the pulpit what Red Cross organization did during the war in the apogee of its emergency and repeated the pledges of the "Greatest Mother" for her continued interest in the welfare of all of America's citizens—her Army, and Navy, her ex-service men and her civilian population, men, women and children. Commencing Monday, all Red Cross Water Board Meeting Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Co. met Saturday afternoon and transacted the following business: Ditch committee reported that C. E. Holcomb would rent his pipe line on No. Los Angeles St. Anaheim to the A.U.W.Co. for a nominal rent of $1.00 per year. Ditch committee advised not to abandon cement ditch on No. Olive St. Anaheim until consent to abandon same had been secured from the Bremerman Heirs.

MotIONED by Miller seconded by Annin that Secretary purchase a flag and the decorations left to Superintendant and Secretary. The housing situation in the city will be relieved somewhat or at least quite a number of homeless people will find sheltering roofs when the plans of the Chamber of Commerce are carried out. Plans are already made for the building of a 22 apartment structure on the order of a barracks. The ground has been leased, and a portion of the capital subscribed. Charles Eygabroad, H. M.Adams and H.D.Riley of the building committee met Monday and a cost sheet was submitted by Mr.Adams. Plans and specifications were prepared and builders or all who cared to figure on the work were invited to examine them at the office of Mr.Eygabroad in the Anaheim National Bank building. Two lots in the Koenig subdivision on South Claudina Street have been leased and two rows of barracks will be built on one of them. Each row will contain eleven apartments of two rooms each. The living room will be 10 feet by 12 feet in dimensions, and the kitchen 6 feet by 12 feet.The rent will be $15.00 per month.Each of the barracks will be 16 feet wide and 132 feet long.In order to deaden sound a double wall be built between the apartments. At the regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last week $3100 was subscribed toward the enterprise,但 this sum will not be sufficient so further subscriptions are solicited. It is a good investment and the income from it is assured.The subscriptions are in the nature of a loan to the Chamber of Commerce and will draw 8 per cent interest.it is expected that all the loans will be speedily taken up and the building become the exclusive property of the Chamber of Commerce. Many applications for apartments have already been received There is no question that the rooms will be speedily filled up and will be in demand. CUPID WINS George Galliana, 22, of Los Angeles, against whom Joe Curtis of Los Angeles swore out a complaint charging him with the abduction of h's daughter Anna Curtis whom her father claimed was only 17 is now on a honeymoon with his bride despite the strenuous parental objections which had been interposed. Gallana and Miss Curtis appeared Commencing Monday, all Red Cross chapters in the Pacific Division began work on the Fourth Red Cross Roll Call—the fourth time that the American Red Cross has gone before the people for their support of a program that grows more familiar and more beloved as each year advances. It is the ambition of the Pacific Division to roll up a Red Cross membership that will vie with the highest record it attained in the three states when it had a war time enrollment of more than a million. Chapter reports filed at Pacific Division Headquarters indicate that this hope will be realized between now and Thanksgiving Day. All chapters in the Division have reported an active Roll Call Organization and many have declared that their quotas will be exceeded. One of the features of the Roll Call plan has been the ready support the Pacific Division Manager, George Filmer, by outside organizations. In addition to the interest shown by the churches where the Fourth Red Cross Roll Call receives its inception to-day practically every organized body in the three states stands pledged to give active support to Red Cross chapters in enrolling the 100 per cent membership. The American Legion has thrown its members into the field in every town in California, Nevada and Arizona. Communication read from the American Legion requesting that we participate in the Armistice Day Celebration. Motioned by Miller seconded by Annin that Secretary purchase a flag and the decorations left to Superintendent and Secretary. TEACHERS TO ATTEND Three day's attendance at the annual meeting of the Southern California Teacher's association in Los Angeles, during December., will be required of Orange county teachers this year. This requirement is instituted in view of the fact that there will be no Orange county institute this year, R.P. Mitchell, county superintendent of schools said today. Believing a five day institute to be too long, Orange county authorities have decided that the one-day institute held at Huntington Beach, October 8, and the three days at Los Angeles, will be sufficient, Mitchell said. "We are merely experimenting this year," he said. "If it appears justifiable we will adopt a permanent policy along the same lines. The Southern California Teachers Association has nationally- known- speakers -at it's meetings each year, while our own institute is limited because of the smallness of available funds. In Los Angeles the teachers can attend those meetings which will be of mose benefit to them." The date for the Los Angeles meetings has not yet been announced, Mitchell said. He believes, however, that it will be during the week preceding Christmas holidays, although there are some association officials advocating the holiday week itself. All the teachers of the county will be required to attend the meetings in Los Angeles for three days, Mr. Mitchell said. CUPID WINS George Galliana, 22, of Los Angeles, against whom Joe Curtis of Los Angeles swore out a complaint charging him with the abduction of h's daughter, Anna Curtis, whom her father claimed was only 17 is now on a honeymoon with his bride despite the strenuous parental objections which had been interposed. Galliana and Miss Curtis appeared at County Clerk J. M. Beck's office asking for a license several days ago and were refused because Becks doubted the girl was 18. Soon afterward Sheriff C. E. Jackson received a call from Sheriff Cline of Los Angeles asking that Galliana be held. The couple however had disappeared. It seems that from here they went back to Los Angeles, where they applied for a license. Galliana and the girl were immediately taken into custody. Upon questioning the pair, however, officials found that the girl was 18., and that she had not been abducted, but had gone more than willingly with Galliana. "My parents want me to marry a man about 50 years old because he has some money." That's the real trouble." Miss Curtis told the officials. Officials in the district attorney's office in Los Angeles dropped the complaint and refused to interfere, and when the matter was explained to Miss Emma (Cupid) Higgins in the county clerk's office in the Angel City, she issued the pair of license, and they were married shortly afterward. No further objections were voiced to the officials by the girl's family. Anaheim Gazette, fifty-two weeks for $1.60.

M. Adams MAKING THE DESERT SAFER Every year the "American Desert" takes its toll of human life. In many parts of it springs, wells, and water holes are few and far between. Three years ago the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, under a small special appropriation by Congress, erected signposts in the worst portions of our southwestern deserts, giving directions and distances from watering place to watering place. This life-saving work of the Geological Survey was supplemented by a survey of these deserts in cooperation with the California Department of Engineering, the results of which are being published in a series of guidebooks. A guide just issued, entitled "Routes to desert watering places in the Salton Sea region, California," by J. S. Brown, contains maps of roads and watering places and road logs giving mileage and notes as to supplies obtainable. A copy of the report—Water supply Paper 490-A—may be obtained free of charge by applying to the Director of the United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. C., or to the office of the United States Geological Survey at 602 Federal Building, Los Angeles, California. NO CHANCE FOR CHEAPER LUMBER SET ANNEXATION ELECTION FOR JAN'Y 4 ORDINANCE INTRODUCED AT THE TRUSTEE MEETING IN RESPONSE TO NORTHSIDE PETITION. Ordinance Increasing Salaries of Deputy Marshals Adopted Friday Night—Patrolmen Will Hereafter Receive $125 Per Month—Board Extends Thanks To Trustee Gates For Building Float and Capturing Prize. January 4 is the date fixed for holding an election in that small section of territory on the northside for the purpose of determining whether or not it shall be annexed to the city of Anaheim. The residents on this patch of ground want to get the benefits of city improvements, consequently they petitioned the trustees some weeks ago praying for admission. The city dads approved the act and instructed City NO CHANCE FOR CHEAPER LUMBER Southern California retail lumber dealers, in session at the Clark hotel, appear to have settled the question of building prices for Los Angeles and vicinity for some time to come by stating that there will be no further reduction in the cost of lumber until wages are reduced. Members of the chamber of commerce, the realty board and various housing committees today expressed the belief that with the fact definitely stated that lumber prices will go no lower, hundreds of lot owners who have been waiting for a more favorable outlook will begin the construction of houses immediately. Lumbermen are no more resuonsible for high building costs that are hardware dealers, masons or plasterers," said one lumber dealer. "The cost of labor is the big factor in the price of lumber, just as it is in the cost of the completed building. More than 90 per cent of the cost of lumber depends on the price of labor. Less than 22 per cent of the cost of a building lies in the lumber consumed. If the cost of labor that goes into the construction of a $400 house were reduced 30 cents an hour—from $1 an hour to 70 cents an hour—the cost of the building would be reduced more than $1000." It was pointed out by lumber dealers that within a year there is a probability that lumber prices will advance instead of declining, due to a threatened scarcity of building material in the east. Contractors today stated that they are receiving more requests to submit bids than at any time within the last six months. This theft asserted, indicates that the winter of 1920-21 will witness a greater building campaign than the city has ever known. But housing organizations assert that while the promise of greater home building activity is encouraging, it will not help out in the present crisis of shortage of housing facilities. They feel that it requires...

This theft asserted, indicates that the winter of 1920-21 will witness a greater building campaign than the city has ever known. But housing organizations assert that while the promise of greater home building activity is encouraging, it will not help out in the present crisis of shortage of housing facilities. They point out the fact that it requires months to build permanent dwellings and that thousands of newcomers are pouring into the city every day. Many of those arriving daily are going to the houses of friends or relatives. It is shown, however, that hundreds of others are without friends in the city and must take what they can get in the way of living quarters. During the past week a larger number of rooms in private homes have been offered for rent than in any like period for months. Some of these rooms, it is said, were overed at very reasonable rentals. Yet the housing situation is critical and heads of housing committees declare their organizations will be at the end of their string unless tents or other cheap temporary quarters are made available at once.—Los Angeles Herald. Mrs. E. E. Remsberg of Santa Ana, sister of President-elect Harding, participated in the Armistice Day parade here last Thursday. She rode with the Santa Ana division in a decorated Cadillac, which had been placed at her disposal by the Cadillac agency. Her car was stopped at the reviewing stand and she was escorted to a seat among the judges, from which point she witnessed the balance of the parade. SWING IS COMING Congressman-elect Phil D. Swing of El Centro will be in Orange county early in February for the purpose of gathering detailed information that will be of use to him in Washington in his efforts to secure tariff adjustments and in his efforts to secure recognition for Newport Harbor. At that time Swing will hold conferences with representatives of various industries that will need his support in Congress. It is probable that there will be a meeting with citrus growers, another with walnut growers and another with the bean growers. He expects to confer with Newport harbor representatives for the purpose of outlining with them a program of strategy. "When campaigning in Orange county," says a letter from Swing, "I secured a great deal of information concerning the various situations in Orange county. My visit in February will be not only for the purpose of getting further details but also for getting viewpoints as they may be at that time, just previous to my departure for Washington." W. E. Alexander is beginning the construction of a big business block at the corner of Cypress and Los Angeles streets, where the Anaheim bakery has stood for many years. Mr. Alexander recently bought this property which has a frontage of 100 feet on Los Angles and 120 feet on Cypress streets. His new building will cover the entire lot.
