MASONIC INSTALLATION
Of all the grand and interesting occasions had in Anaheim, perhaps none ever exceeded in brilliancy, fashion and distinguished personages, the event of the Grand Masonic Ball and Banquet of the 17th inst. It was overflowing with good will, and vied in harmonious concord and gatherings of any people it has ever been our pleasure to meet with.
At about twelve o'clock in the day the first omnibus arrived from Los Angeles, laden with a bevy of her fairest ladies, and a sprinkling of her finest men. These being the guests of Mayor Strobel, drove immediately to his residence. Los Nietos and Wilmington contributed their best and fairest ladies, who, together with the chime bells from Los Angeles, were soon to vie with the brilliant constellation of Anaheim beauty in the witching graces of the dance.
At half past two, the officers of the Grand lodge, together with officers and members of Anaheim Lodge, No. 207 assembled at the residence of Theodore Reiser, Esq., and donning their regalia marched in Masonic order, headed by a band of music to the hall where the ceremonies were to take place. The march along the street was grand and beautiful, and arriving at the scene attracted much attention.
A COMEDY OF ERRORS
Marshal Steadman yesterday, acting in accordance with instructions from the City Council, placed a dam across the cement ditch on Sycamore street near its head at East street. And also placed two dams across the ditch on Olive street, near Broadway. If the city attorney or city trustees will kindly tell us what object is aimed at in thus interfering with the running of water by the Water company through a ditch upon a public thoroughfare which they have occupied for upwards of a quarter of a century, we shall be very greatly obliged to him or them.

The march along the street was grand and beautiful, and arriving at the scene attracted much attention. Upon arriving at the hall which was already thronged with citizens, S. Prager, Esq., Most Worshipful Grand Master, as the highest mason and by authority of the highest masonic jurisdiction in the state, took the chair and opened the ceremonies, which continued for two hours throughout a mystic, curious and unexplained series of ancient forms and usages of the masonic order.
At 9 o'clock there gathered in the same hall to participate in the dance one of the largest and most respectable assemblages, including all our principle citizens. At twelve o'clock the supper. March signalled the party to the supper hall beneath, where a most bountiful repast was spread. Ere this was discussed the wine flowed freely, and impromptu speeches made upon call.

On the 17th inst., three marriages took place in the Borden and Bush families, and by which Wm. McFadden, Esq., was deprived of six of his largest scholars. The marrying fever is raging.

COUNTY SOCIAL WORKERS
EFFECTING ORGANIZATION
Plans For Closer Union Now Being Formed.
Active federation of the various social and welfare workers and organizations of Orange county, under the auspices of the California State Conference of Social Work, is to be attempted in the near future as the local phase of the state-wide movement now in progress throughout California.
Plans for this closer union of the various agencies are now being formed in correspondence between leading social workers of this county and the heads of the state organization. A series of conferences will shortly be held in this city, at which Miss Helen Henry state executive secretary of the Conference of Social Work, will meet with representatives of the health, school, civic, library, charitable juvenile court, child welfare, Americanization, playground, and other workers together with rrepresentatives of the Y.M.C.A., Y.W.C.A., Red Cross and similar organizations.
The purpose is to vitalize the work of public welfare throughout the state; eliminate waste and duplication of effort, and strengthen the public support of social work by the making of a unified appeal.
The new county organizations, several of which have already been started in various counties, will play an active part in the fleet state convention of social work; to be held in San Francisco, beginning February 23, 1921. This will be the thirteenth annual gathering of California's welfare workers, and will be the most important ever held, because during the past year the state conference has gone they are wanted for the table. Nor is it necessary to have young chickens for canning, for the older birds have superior flavor and quite as good texture as the younger ones. Two year hens made a much more desirable canned product than a six-months old chicken. The best products were obtained from plump, well-fed hens in tests recently made by the Experimental Kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture.
To prepare the birds for canning, it should be carefully picked and all pin feathers removed; it should be then singed and washed in water in which a small amount of baking soda has been dissolved. Remove the entrails, cut the meat into pieces as for frying, and carefully wash each piece in cold water. The giblets and excess intestinal fat should not be put in the jars. The chicken may be partially cooked before being placed in the jar, being either browned in fat or stewed, but the best results have been obtained when the uncooked chicken was packed into the jars. The jars may be filled with hot water or broth, or the meat may be canned without the addition of liquid. The best product has resulted when no liquid or only a small quantity (about 2 tablespoons to a pint jar) was added. The meat in jars to which no liquid was added has kept as well as that in jars filled with liquid, and has possessed a superior flavor. The following method is, therefore, recommended by the Experimental Kitchen.
Pack the pieces into pint jars. As much as a pound of chicken can often be packed into a pint jar. Two chickens weighing, before dressed, a little over 4 pounds each, when cut up for canning will fill five pint jars. For example, jar 1 may contain a thigh, leg, fillet of breast, and saddle; jar 2, Betsy Ross, the daughter of an American patriot, made the first flag
FACTS ABOUT THE FLAG
The flag of a nation is the emblem of that nation. The American flag is raised every day over the White House every executive department building, each of the two houses of Congress, and all government buildings in Washington City, the nation's capital. It also floats from all state and federal buildings throughout the United States, and on the ships of the navy and army and all American embassies, legations and consulates all over the world.
General George Washington raised the first American flag on January 2, 1776, at Cambridge, Mass., when he took command of the American army to fight the British. This flag had seven red and six white stripes, and the British crosses in the blue field where the stripes now are. In the next year, by order of the Continental Congress; the British emblem was replaced by the white stars in the blue field. In 1794 the number of stars and stripes was changed to fifteen each after Vermont and Kentucky became states. In 1818 Congress restored the original thirteen stripes to represent the thirteen original states and decided that there should be one new star added on July 4 of any year for each new state admitted during the preceding year. There are now forty-eight stars in the flag, representing the forty-eight states of the Union. Our flag is called Stars and Stripes—the stars represent our present growth while the stripes refer to America's history. The blue in the flag represents loyalty, which is the foundation upon which our country is built. The states rest upon this foundation of loyalty as truly as the white stars rest on the blue foundation.

The new county organizations, several of which have already been start- ed in various counties, will play an active part in the first state convent- ion of social work; to be held in San Francisco, beginning February 23, 1921. This will be the thirteenth annual gathering of California's welfare workers, and will be the most important ever held, because during the past year the state conference has gone upon all-year-round basis and has greatly extended its activities.
Hitherto there have been county chairmen, working under the state conference, but no county organiza- tions as such. The newly-formed body in this county will, it is planned, hold regular meetings, discuss welfare measures and technic, listen to speakers of state prominence and bring about a complete survey of the whole state as to delinquency, recreation, public health work, education, family and child welfare industrial problems, relief work, and the other great social problems of our day.
Dr. Martin A. Meyer of San Franciisco is this year's president of the State Conference. Among the confer- ence leaders in this county are Mrs. C. N. Leebrick of Santa Ana, county chairman for the conference; Mrs. George Briggs, Mrs. Ruby Brooks, J. A. Cranston, Walter Gregg, Rev. John Oliver and Dr. Harry Zaiser.
INDIANS AFRAID OF LIGHTNING
Thunder and lightning are more effectual in bringing unruly Indians to observe the laws than any penalty the courts may impose according to P. H. Hoffman, superintendent of Southern California's Mission Indians, and who has his headquarters in River-side.
As a result of this state of affairs Mr. Hoffman has asked Milton Bryan, assistant United States district attorney in Los Angeles, to delay in filing of several complaints he has prepared against Indian "bad" men. The super-intendent said that the recent severe electrical storms in the mountains have completely terrified the unruly Red men.
It was stated that the Indians had been awed to such an extent by the play of lightning on Devil mountain in the San Jacinto region, that they had promised obedience hereafter.
The mountain long has been believed by them to be the abode of hidden devils, and it is a tradition added has kept as well as that in jars filled with liquid, and has possessed a superior flavor. The following method is, therefore, recommended by the Experimental Kitchen.
Pack the pieces into pint jars. As much as a pound of chicken can often be packed into a pint jar. Two chickens weighing, before dressed, a little over 4 pounds each, when cut up for canning will fill five pint jars. For example, jar 1 may contain a thigh, leg, fillet of breast, and saddle; jar 2, a neck, wing, leg, fillet of breast; jar 4, a wing, leg, thigh and breast; bone; jar 5, a fillet of breast, thigh, 2 wings, and a leg. When the meat has been packed into the jar, add a half teaspoon of salt to each partially seal and process.
If a water-bath outfit is used for the processing, set the jars on a rack in the bottom of a wash boiler with sufficient water to come 2 inches above their tops. Process pint jars continuously for six hours after the water begins to boil. Seal the jars quickly upon removing from the boiler, or if glass-topped jars fastened by a spring are used, force the spring into position while the jars are still immersed. After sealing invert the jars to test for leaks while cooling.
If a steam-pressure cooker is used the length of time can be greatly reduced. Fifteen pounds' pressure for one hour has been found a safe and satisfactory period.
Chicken canned in either the water bath or pressure cooker is a desirable product, comparing very favorably with fresh chicken when used for chicken salad, creamed chicken, chicken stew, chicken pie, or for scalloped or baked dishes.
The chicken in a pint jar is sufficient to serve six persons when the meat is prepared in any of the ways mentioned.
TO TACKLE TAXES FIRST
"Discriminating taxation, which has been nursed and protected during the last eight years, will be one of the first victims of the firm hand of the Republican administration," declared Senator Smoot of Utah, who is visiting in Santa Monica.
The Senator predicted that the Federal government, under the guidance of President-elect Harding, will so legislate that business of the same kind and class will be equally assessed. A 1 per cent sales tax on all businesses is a plan for the amelioration of the present tax system which the Senator eights stars in the flag, representing the forty-eight states of the Union. Our flag is called Stars and Stripes the stars represent our present growth while the stripes refer to America's history. The blue in the flag represents loyalty, which is the foundation upon which our country is built. The states rest upon this foundation of loyalty as truly as the white stars rest on the blue foundation.
Betsy Ross, the daughter of an American patriot, made the first flag for our country and designed the star. Her home, on Arch street in Philadelphia, where she made the flag, still stands and is carefully preserved as the birthplace of the American flag.

against Indian "bad" men. The superintendent said that the recent severe electrical storms in the mountains have completely terrified the unruly Red men.
It was stated that the Indians had been awed to such an extent by the play of lightning on Devil mountain in the San Jacinto region, that they had promised obedience hereafter.
The mountain long has been believed by them to be the abode of hidden devils, and it is a tradition among them that unruly Indians are lured to its dark canyons and then vanish into the subterranean abode of the devils.
The bad Indians were told by their associates that they would meet the fate of other unruly ones if they continued to resist rules and regulations of the "Great Father at Washington."
Superintendent Hoffman had complained to the U.S. district attorney office that it was necessary to proceed against certain Indians on a charge of conspiring to incite insubordination and the complaints were to have been filed yesterday. However, the electrical treatment the Indians have had may prove effectual.
FALL BEST TIME TO CAN SURPLUS CHICKENS.
Canned Chicken A Friend In Need When Unexpected Guests Arrive.
A veritable friend in need to the busy housewife is canned chicken. A few jars of it on the storeroom shelf which may be quickly converted into a delicious dish when unexpected company comes or when other emergencies arise, give the housekeeper a sense of preparedness. From an economic point of view, canning the surplus of the flock is an excellent practice, as it is cheaper to can the birds than it is to feed them until last eight years, will be one of the first victims of the firm hand of the Republican administration," declared Senator Smoot of Utah, who is visiting in Santa Monica.
The Senator predicted that the Federal government, under the guidance of President-elect Harding, will so legislate that business of the same kind and class will be equally assessed. A 1 per cent sales tax on all businesses is a plan for the amelioration of the present tax system which the Senator favors, and one which he believes is regarded as practicable by financial experts of the nation.
"Much of the unequal distribution of wealth can be laid at the door of unequal taxation," he declared.
"It is freely admitted," the Senator says, "that the Wilson League of Nations is dead. It cannot be resurrected again, but out of its ruins and out of the long controversy over international relationships will grow up an association of the governments of the world, bound together on practicable terms and based upon such principles as will not demand that the United States forfeit her sovereignty. I believe the Republican administration will formulate a plan for a court of the nations of the earth, to which they will agree."
While speaking of the disturbance throughout the countries of the world, Senator Smoot stated emphatically that he believes the cause of Ireland should be given the sympathy of the American people.
"Any nation crying for the right of self-determination, has a right to the sympathy of a country that once fought for it," he said. "I do not believe, however, that we should attempt to, and I am sure the new administration will not assume any of this responsibility for settling the Irish question."
The Olive Petroleum's wildcat well is standing with the cement setting at 3050 feet. The well has been showing quite a quantity of oil. It is believed that the showing will be increased with the cementing off of the water.
