In the Days of Long Ago Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of this Paper. From The Gazette 50 Years Ago Today The past week in our city has been one of activity and progress. Life, enterprise and prosperity are apparent on every hand. And yet this is only a repetition of the previous week and a small beginning of what awaits us in the future. It is believed that no place on the Pacific Coast at the present time has such good prospects, so many latent advantages of location, or is enjoying so fine a condition, of prosperity as Anaheim. Money is plenty, trade is good, and every citizen is getting rich. What other city in all California can say as much? Not one in the North; and not another in the south. The only city of prosperity, the only place that now "pans out rich" is beautiful evergreen Anaheim. Beneath the sun, there is no place so rare, so lovely, so tranquil. The groom of her flowers ascend to heaven; her picturesque landscape is a perpetual delight to the vision and her wine—her wine—well dot ish goot by tam. Our esteemen townsman, Ed Polhemus, Esq. left last week on a flying visit to the Ploho Rancho, in Monterey county, for the benefit of his health. Those who owe him will be pleased to learn that he will return in two weeks. From Gazette Files of 25 Years Ago Mr. Deutsch was down from Los Angeles yesterday to note the progress of work upon his new brick building. The structure is being pushed rapidly forward and probably today the plasterers will begin. Mr. Deutsch informs us the building will have the finest front of any building in this city. George Betts was awarded a bronze medal for his display of Eureka lemtns at the Atlantic exposition, and the Orange County Fruit Exchange took the silver medal for the best Valencia late oranges. Who says we're not the people. Mrs. Hartung entertained the ladies of the Euchre club at cards at her home Friday afternoon. Progressive euchri was tht game, and the first prist was won by Miss Bailey, the second falling to Mrs. Browning.

Our esteemen townsman, Ed Polhemus, Esq. left last week on a flying visit to the Ploho Rancho, in Monterey county, for the benefit of his health. Those who owe him will be pleased to learn that he will return in two weeks. We are exporting hash. By reference to the freight list it will be seen that San Diego has drawn on Anaheim for beans, corn and onions. If they will boil them together with a little sprinkling of their "harbor" they will not—but perish the thought. A new city jail and council room now being erected on the lot adjoin­ing the Catholic church, promises to be a very creditable oue. The front is to be the council room, 16 by 16 feet, and the rear is being made into two cells, one of which is 10 feet by 10 feet, and the other 6 feet by 10 feet. The floor of the jail is to be double and the walls of six inches solid thickness, and are filled with closely driven nails. It is being built by Messrs. Peck and McKinnoy, and will be finished in about two weeks. One hundred and sixt of the finest One hundred and sixty of the finest looking children in America attend Mr. Kuelp and other well informed citizens estimate the population of Anaheim to be more than 1000. W. M. Higgins, Esq., has received from the postmaster general at Washington his commission as postmaster at Anaheim. The appurtenances of the postoffice belonging to the government are to be transferred to him. Our citizens can rely that every duty of the office will be punctually and efficiently attended to by the new incumbent. S. S. Dunnels of the Steamer Vaquero, have made application to the board of supervisors for the franchise to build a wharf at the western shore of San Juquin Bay (New Landing) near its mouth, at a point distant about eight hundred feet north-westerly from the mouth of the Santa Ana, and two hundred and fifty feet southwesterly from the site of the second falling to Mrs. Browning.

Born, in West Anaheim on Nov. 25, to the wife of W. J. Hill, a daughter. Eddie Zeus had the distinction of winning the silver medal for the best drilled member of company G at the competition drill at the armory Thanksgiving evening. Eddie is one of our force of artistic printers, and besides being a citizen soldier of merit it is also coming to be a first class printer. There are no flies on Ed. The newly organized Golden Belt Fruit association on Saturday elected the following officers: President, Mr. Phelps; vice-president, Mr. McFuddan; Secretary, Mrs. Patton. The directors have made the old association an offer for their packing house at Fullerton, a decision upon which will be arrived at at a meeting of the directorate today. Agent Clabaught suggests that we "jack up" the city trustees for the unsightly mud puddle that has been permitted to exist in front of this office. The burgomeisters will please consider themselves "jacked up." The first car of oranges to be sniped out of the county this season is new being picked at the Botsford grove. They go forward this week, are navels and will bring $2.50 f.o.b. The stately date palm that has stood as a landmark for upwards of a quarter of a centurp opposite Dickel's establishment has at last been leveled by the woodman's axe to give way to the new brick building. Mr. Hansen has decided not to press her suit for $20,000 against the water company, for damages alleged to have been sustained by falling into the cement ditch on Sycamore street, and in the superior court on Friday on motion of her attorney, Mr. Chynoweth, the suit was dismissed.

S. Dunnels of the Steamer Vaquero, have made application to the board of supervisors for the franchise to build a wharf at the western shore of San Juquin Bay (New Landing) near its mouth, at a point distant about eight hundred feet north-westerly from the mouth of the Santa Ana, and two hundred and fifty feet southwesterly from the site of the proposed wharf of Irvine, Flint & Co. The dance which some Los Angeles adventurers attempted to get up here Monday evening last, proved a fizzle. Our people care but little to patronize speculators of that sort. The committee of the city council appointed to wait on the Water company and assert on what terms the company would code over all their interests in the streets to the city, reported that the water company were unwilling to make over any of their rights to the streets to the city. Mr. Fischer questioned the responsibility of the water company for accidents occurring from bad streets and thought the company should be required to give a guarantee for the safety of all citizens passing. The city was obliged to keep the streets in repair. Mr. Champlin moved that an ordinance be drawn requiring the streets of Anaheim to be kept open to their proper width and free of obstruction. The motion prevailed. On the 23rd inst., G. W. Barter, A.B., of Columbia college, Washington, D.C., and member of its law class of 67-68, was upon motion of Frank Garahl, Esq., and upon due examination by the board of lawyers, admitted to practice law. Mr. Hansen has decided not to press her suit for $20,000 against the water company, for damages alleged to have been sustained by falling into the cement ditch on Sycamore street, and in the superior court on Friday on motion of her attorney, Mr. Chynoweth, the suit was dismissed. The Abbott-Davidson company is to appear at Reiser's hall next week for a period of two nights when they will present the Lady and Lord Sholto Douglas case. Mr. Rogers informs us that another dividend amounting to $4,000 has been declared out of the rebates of the Overland Fruit Dispatch, making a total of $24,000 for the season. Next year these rebates, he informs us will be no less than $75,000. This is like findin money for the orange growers. The Presbyterian Y.P.S.C.E. will celebrate the fifth anniversary of its organization at the Del Campo hotel tomorrow evening. At a meeting of the water stockholders at Fullerton one evening last week, Messrs Key, Ross and Holcomb were selected as candidates to be voted for as directors at the annual meeting in January, and committees were appointed to canvass for proxies for them. Stern Bros. have a novel time piece on exhibition in their display window. It is a clock in imitation of a mince pie, keeping good time. Tax Collector Freeman took in $193,-680.23 for the first half of state and county taxes, leaving $4866.92 to go delinsuent. OUR SURE PATH From President-Elect Harding's Armistice Day Speech at Brownsville, Texas. These soldiers of the republic, like their fathers, believe in an America of civil and human and religious liberty; they believe in an America of American ideals. They believe in America first, for it is in America that their hopes and aspirations center. They believe it is only morning in the life of the republic, and they want to look forward to the surprising noonday of national life, when this leading republic shall be the foremost nationality among the nations on the earth. These men believe that the nation worth fighting for is good to live in and good to live for, and having wrought the miracle of development in a century and a third, it is destined to write the supreme triumph in human progress. I believe with them, and with you, that our sure path is the American path. I do not believe the wisdom of Washington and Jefferson and Hamilton is to be ignored, nor the chivalry of Lee or the magnanimity of Grant is to be forgotten. Nor can the supreme belief of Lincoln in union and nationality be forgotten or the outstanding Americanism of Roosevelt fail to stir our hearts. Here is popular government in its most dependable development. Here is a republic whose heart is right. Here is a land of limitless opportunity, beckoning men to rewards. Here is a people united now, aglow with the national spirit, and we shall cling to the foundations and make a strong America, a land of safety at they are waiting for something that you have forgotten to provide. Our common grains are deficient in protein and it must be supplied in the form of beef scraps, meat scraps, milk green cut bone, blood meal. All of these feeds should be fresh and pure, otherwise they will cause trouble. Do not feed tankage. Succulent feeds such as tender shoots and grasses nature provides to supply succulency to laying hens. On high priced land where range for the green food is limited, sprouted oats, cabbage, beets or mangles should be grown. Nature provides gravel and coarse sand to supply fowls with something which to grind their feed and supply the ash. When these are not available, feed commercial grit, oyster shell and granulated bone. To make hens lay either give them a chance to get what nature requires or provide them with something that will take its place. CANAL SELF-SUSTAINING The Panama Canal is now fully self-sustaining and had there been no changes in the rules of measurement such as recently made, would show a comfortable surplus over cost of operation, according to the current Canal Record, Official publication of the Zone. The statement does not show the exact proportion of tolls paid by American ships, nor does it indicate the deficiency, if any, that would have to be met from the national treasury if American craft were exempted. During the last fiscal year total operating expenses were $6,548,272 and receipts $8,935,871, leaving a profit of $2,387,599. This does not take classed as luxuries, because a buyer’s tax must be paid on them at the time of purchase. These articles according to the government, include such things as automobiles, candy, cameras, musical instruments, articles of fur, jewelry, cosmetics and perfumes, yachts and sculpture. CHILDREN LEARN FROM TOYS Did you ever stop to think or realize that your children's toys, playthings and play habits represent a definite household help? Some mothers have grasped this ideal and so developed it by careful selection and guidance that their children—particularly their girls—are not only “kept from underfoot” and happily entertained but also advanced rapidly in their practical training for adult’s life duties and made ready helpful assistants in the manifold minor duties of their daily lives. Consciously, by chance or by following the trend of American children's play habits—as presumably they do—the makers of American toys and of all playthings have been of material help to mothers along this line by producing for children many things which possess a distinct educational value. In addition to this and probably as a result of keen foreign competition American toy manufacturers have produced novelties of such real durability, commonsense design and usually artistic appearance, that the foreign toys have virtually disappeared from American homes. This is beneficial because toys are national to the country of their manufacture, and with American toys for American children the ideas of the Thursdays Smith John Nellie Nov. daughtion of for the company G the armiddle is printers, dolder of a first lies on en Belt elected sent, Mr. Fuddan; directors can offerullerton, be ar-director- that we for the has been of this please up." no ship-season is Botsford as week, 100 f.o.b. that has words of a Dickel's even levto give. to press the water to have into the street, and holiday on Chynocompany is part week premise belief of Lincoln in union and nationality be forgotten or the outstanding Americanism of Roosevelt fail to stir our hearts. Here is popular government in its most dependable development. Here is a republic whose heart is right. Here is a land of limitless opportunity, beckoning men to rewards. Here is a people united now, aglow with the national spirit, and we shall cling to the foundations and make a strong America, a land of safety at home and an inspiring example to all the world. I said we are only in the morn of national life. Who dares to prophesy in quaffing the cup of optimism what the future has in store? We have only to go on, independent and free, untrammeled and unmortgaged to write the supreme fulfillment. We choose no aloofness, we shirk no obligation, we forsake no friends. We never have, we never will. But we built in nationality, and we do not mean to surrender it. We crave fraternity, we wish amicable relations everywhere; we offer peace and choose to promote it, but we demand our freedom and our own America. SAVING SENSE OF HUMOR Someone publicly ridiculed, recently "the big fool" who makes fun for the world and incidentally, a fortune for himself, and the "little fools" who contribute the fortune, as if this were a symptom of national decay—a social phenomenon to be deplored. There is another side to this business. There's plenty of tragedy in human experience. There are long faces enough to satisfy the most dolefully inclined. Possimists need not feel lonesome nor mental dyspeptics lack for company in the joyless life. It is the limit, however, when the lugubriously indicted essay the task of putting all the joy and merriment out of life as a result of their inability to participate in it or even appreciate its kindly mission among men. Thank God for the light-hearted, buoyant-minded man who makes it his pleasure in life and, incidentally, his business to jolly us up and add to our sense of humor! More power to the legitimate fun-makers. The sense of humor is closely associated with the fine human qualities of generosity, charity, kindliness, optimism, sympathy, brotherliness. When you find a man on woman looking in some of humor eration, according to the current Canal Record, Official publication of the Zone. The statement does not show the exact proportion of tolls paid by American ships, nor does it indicate the deficiency, if any, that would hafe to be met from the national treasury if American craft were exempted. During the last fiscal year total operating expenses were $6,548,272 and receipts $8,935,871, leaving a profit of $2,387,599. This does not take into account interest on capital invested amounting to $367,151,696, representing the entire cost of the canal. The total cost of operation of the canal since it was opened has been $36,657,766 and total revenue to the end of the past fiscal year $34,657,766 less certain deductions on account of refunds of toll which would make the deficit on that score $2,231,091, instead of a surplus of$2,873,812 had the original rules of measurement been adhered to. TON OF FOOD RAISED FOR EACH PERSON Government Figures Show What Farmers Produced This Year. One ton of grain, vegetables and fruits for each of the 107,000,000 inhabitants of the United States is the response of farmers to the popular appeal of the country for more chowper food, reports to the agricultural department indicated approximately. Farmers now are harvesting the last of their bumper yield, almost unprecedented in the nation's history. City dwellers, sitting down today might reflect that the nation's harvest is bountiful enough to feed every inhabitant his own weight once each month during the coming twelve, if the average American resident (including children and infants) is rated at 100 pounds, and there still remains enough food to fatten the starving millions in central and southern Europe at the same rate for more than eight months. Farmers complain that the very bounty of their harvest has brought many of their number to the very verge of ruin because of reduced prices. These, they charge, are absorbed by speculators and middle men and not passed along to the consumer. Farmers have made some gains in land values, which have jumped 100 per cent in some localities. In addition to this and probably as a result of keen foreign competition American toy manufacturers have produced novelties of such real durability, commonsense design and usually artistic appearance, that the foreign toys have virtually disappeared from American homes. This is beneficial because toys are national to the country of their manufacture, and with American toys for American children the ideas taught are naturally enough thoroughly American. In view of the fact that many toys are made today as they were thousands of years ago by the Egyptians in reproduction of household implements and appurtenances, it requires little thought to be convinced that American mothers an be really benefitted through their children's playthings only if those playthings reflect faithfully the home and surroundings in which they live. When a mother teaches her little girl to love and care for her doll, that doll becomes not only a plaything but a silent teacher of the child. The bathing it, dressing it and loving it Thank God for the light-hearted, buoyant-minded man who makes it his pleasure in life and, incidentally, his business to jolly us up and add to our sense of humor! More power to the legitimate fun-makers. The sense of humor is closely associated with the fine human qualities of generosity, charity, kindliness, optimism, sympathy, brotherliness. When you find a man or woman lacking in sense of humor, you may look in vain for a pleasing combination of the lovable qualities just named. A nation or an individual that loses the sense of humor is on the way to temperamental dryrot. Who ever knew of a man devoid of a sense of humor doing a big generous thing? Just as surely as half the world would be improved by spiritual awakening of a sane and wholesome sort, just that certainly half of the world is going to seed for lack of a saving sense of humor and the qualities that are inseparable from it. All honor to the fun-makers. FEEDING HINTS FOR THE POULTRYMAN An egg is composed of 65.7 per cent water, 11.4 percent protein, 12.2 percent ash and 8.9 percent fat. The composition of an egg is the same in California, Texas and New York. The hen cannot adulterate her product. She cannot change the composition of her product and she cannot make something out of nothing. Before she can lay an egg she must have the proper amounts of the various ingredients of an egg. If she has not enough of the right kinds of food to make an egg she waits until she can get it before laying. If your hens are not laying, make up your minds starving millions in central and southern Europe at the same rate for more than eight months. Farmers complain that the very bounty of their harvest has brought many of their number to the very verge of ruin because of reduced prices. These, they charge, are absorbed by speculators and middle men and not passed along to the consumer. Farmers have made some gains in land values, which have jumped 100 per cent in some localities. Even a 10 per cent jump in land values and machinery would give the farmers an aggregate profit of something more than $5,000,000,000 it is estimated. Other government reports are plentiful to show the entire nation has enjoyed prosperity of a kind. Approximately 5,000,000 persons who paid income taxes to the federal government received an average income of $3,000, or an aggregate of $15,000,-000,000 in salaries, rents and dividends. This is more than half of the gigantic sum spent by the nation during the great war. These figures are based on reports of the internal revenue bureau. In the records of the labor department are reports showing that millions of workers enjoyed wages the highest in history. In addition to earnings that amply provide food, shelter and clothing, hundreds of thousands found themselves with remaining funds sufficient to satisfy the need of recreation and luxuries. According to one estimate, based on government reports, the nation is buying entertainment at theaters, clubs, dance halls, parks and other places of amusement at the rate of nearly $1,000,000,000 a year. A total of approximately $2,600,-000,000 was spent for articles legally because a buyer's in them at the time according to the ide such things as, cameras, musical ties of fur, jewelry, fumes, yachts and BURN FROM TOYS up to think or realchildren's toys, playbits represent a dehelp? have grasped this eloped it by careful balance that their early their girls—are from underfoot" and but are also adn their practical life duties and fool assistants in or duties of their chance or by foll of American children's resumably they do— American toys and of been of material long this line by children many things distinct educational to this and prokeen foreign comtoy manufacturers twelties of such real insense design and appearance, that the virtually disappearhomes.

Making its dresses teaches the important fundamentals of sound drsmaking because American dolls are usually well dressed in very carefully and correctly made clothes. The toy wash tubs and irons with which the child "fixes up" her doll's clothes teach one phase of housekeeping and make the girl—large or small—more of a real help to her mother on Monday's and Tuesday's because she is anxious to show her mother that she "knows how." Playing store teaches household economics and make running to the store for mother less irksome to the child. Tea parties teach proper social intercourse and courtesy as well as the idea of giving something to others. The boy with his express wagon is more willing to run errands because he can play "express" with the store purchases as he brings them home. Boys also learn something of agriculture from toy shovels, hoes, rakes and the like, which proves useful to mothers if there happens to be a garden. They learn something of building and carpentry from toy houses and later from hammer; saw and nails and not infrequently this knowledge proves helpful to mother when there are small odd jobs to be done around the house. To sweepers and brooms, toy stoves dishes, furniture sewing machines and the like and even the many games in which children pretend are helpful in the long run to mothers through the association of ideas and the interests developed. READY TO LEND FILMS ON MAKING CONCRETE ROADS is now ready for lending to interested persons who make application for it's use at "Good Roads" meetings schools, colleges, and meetings of engineers. Every process involved in the construction of a concrete road is shown in the film from the heavy grading to the complete road. The picture opens with a view of an automobile stuck in the mud of an unimproved country road. After the spectator has been shown all the steps in the construction of a modern concrete road, the picture closes with a thrilling race between a railroad train and a motor truck on a concrete highway—a feature calculated to show the possibilities of rapid transit of freight traffic on good roads, but not to encourage racing. OIL INTERESTS PROTEST MEXICAN'S STATEMENT Representatives of American land holders and oil interests in Mexico have protested to the state department against what they characterize as misleading statements male by R. V. Pesqueira, confidential agent of the Mexican government. Mr. Pasqueira's statement which had drawn protests from landholders, referred to methods which, he said, had been used by some Americans in acquiring land in Mexico, but did not refer specifically to any oil interest. The Mexican agent was discussing article 27 of the new Mexican constitution which, he said, did not deal solely with oil. Mr. Pasqueira said: There was a time in Mexico when concessions were very popular, and the method and process of acquiring land will stand as a shame to both parties, for Mexico and for the men READY TO LEND FILMS ON MAKING CONCRETE ROADS Many a woman more blessed with a sense of the ridiculous than she is with tact has remarked to Friend Husband as he climbed from underneath the car stalled on a muddy road after a struggle with recalcitrant machinery, "If only a movie photographer were around." Her wish would have been granted this summer in many places in Delaware and New Jersey, for movie operators from the United States Department of Agriculture were there filming good roads with the assistance of engineers from the Bureau of Public Roads.
