The pink and hard ripe tomatoes go to the Los Angeles market, while the ripe fruit goes East. Another bond issue for the draining of the low lying lands in the district west of Garden Grove will be called, the first one having been deemed necessary. Miss Elva Stark, who is a student in Los Angeles, is spending the holiday vacation with her parents and friends here. The Chamber of Commerce will elect officers for the year 1921 on January 10. During the past year the C. of C. has done splendid work for Anaheim, and it is expected during the coming year it will accomplish even more. A large crowd witnessed the three plays given by the Dramatic Class of the High School Friday evening. The title of the plays were: "Three Pills in a Bottle" "The Fatal Message." and "A Christmas Chime." The plays were given under the direction of Mrs. Balcomb. Arthur Shipke, manager of the Union Oil company in this city, and Miss Katharine Schultz of Santa Ana were married in Santa Ana, Rev. Father Emmeulen officiating. Shipke is a member of the American Legion post of Anaheim. His bride is the young lady who rode at the head of the procession on Armistice Day. Congressman Phil Swing of El Centro has been asked to meet officials of Orange County Farm Bureau to learn of Farm Bureau activities in this county and know our agricultural needs are with respect to National legislation. Swing will be in the county about the first of the week in February at which time the Legislative committee of the Farm Bureau will confer with him. He also agreed to speak to Citrus growers at the La Habra Farm Center that week. J. Gonzales of Anaheim, a furni- Fred L.

His little daughter's health is greatly improved, and she will probably soon entirely recover. Anaheim merchants all report an enormous Christmas trade, and both the express office and postoffice have been overwhelmed with outgoing packages. Joe Collings, manager of the express company, reports business 150 per cent greater than a year ago. Corn is now selling in Kansas at 30 cents per bushel. Here in California it sells for $4.00 per sack. which is at the rate of $2.80 per bushel. What we would like to know is who gets that $2.50 added to the price between its leaving the hands of the producer and reaching the hands of the consumer. The Richfield Consolidated struck what promises to be a real gusher at 6 o'clock Sunday night when well No. 2 near Yorba blow out and went over Another bond issue for the draining of the low lying lands in the district west of Garden Grove will be called, the first one having been defeated at the polls. At the last meeting of the Garden Grove farm center, Director Lake of the drainage district told the members of the difficulties in securing bond buyers. Prof. Wier of the State University told of the desirability of drainage. The members decided to go ahead with another bond election. A very pretty wedding was that of Sunday evening, December 12, in the Round Table clubhouse at Placentia, when Miss Sarah Rideout became the bride of Mr. Charles Tayles, both of Placentia. The bride was dressed in a dainty gown of white taffeta, veil and carried a bouquet of bride's roses. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Frank Dowling, an intimate friend of the bride's family. Following the ceremony a reception was held and congratulations showered on the young couple who left later for a honeymoon at San Diego. Upon their return they will reside in Fullerton, where a home is ready for them. Claiming that the 29 1-2 cent rate for hauling milk from dairies, charged by the creameries, is excessive, dairymen in the vicinity of Santa Ana have organized for the purpose of buying a truck to do their hauling. The rate is the same charged in Los Angeles county, says the creamery men, but it is pointed out by the local dairymen that hauls of thirty and thirty-five miles are frequent in Los Angeles county, while the hauls here are much shorter, averaging about seven miles. The dairymen believe that the cost of hauling milk can be reduced one-third by this co-operative hauling. Thomas Muehleisen of Los Angeles, an inventor, charged with embezzling $5000 from Conrad Meusch of Anaheim, was in the county jail Friday following his arraignment before Justice of the Peace John B.

E. McDowell of Stanford University, secretary of the Stanford Alumni association, and Coach Powell, of Stanford University's football team. McDowell and Powell are to be in Southern California during the holidays, and while in this end of the state McDowell will meet a number of Stanford Alumni associations. High freight rates have resulted in a determination by citrus growers to ship their crops by water whenever possible. According to L. D. Palmer, manager of the Orange County Fruit Exchange, a shipment of Orange county fruit will be made to New York by way of the Panama Canal to start within ten days. An inspector will accompany the trial cargo and make observations en route. The California Fruit Growers' Exchange is behind the shipment, and should the cargo of fruit arrive on the Atlantic seaboard in good condition, a fleet of vessels for carrying purposes may be chartered by the Exchange.

The morn- The Richfield Consolidated struck what promises to be a real gusher at 6 o'clock Sunday night when well No. 2 near Yorba blow out and went over the derrick. The well was under control today. When the well reached 2,900 feet last week small quantities of oil were found. The well was lowered to 2,985 when the blow out came. The well promises to be one of the most productive in the district and will be placed on the pump as soon as practicable. Four oil wells in Riverside county are now spudded in, and in a couple of months will probably disclose whether there is oil in that section. The Painted Hills company is drilling near Whitewater, the Moreno Oil company just north of the Jack Rabbit trail. The Riverside Oil company between Banning and Beaumont, and a Long Beach company on the Middleton ranch in Lakeside. A Fullerton concern will drill south of Beaumont near the Wolfskill ranch.

Cox. Muehleisen is charged with having sold one third interest in an automatic water valve on which he represented he had an application for a patent, to Meusch for $5000 on July 31, 1920. Meusch alleges that he later discovered that Muehleisen did not possess the application in question, but a different one.

The carob tree is generally known as the St. John's bread fruit tree. The female trees bear a long sweetish bean that is said to be high in nutritive qualities for the fattening of stock. There are a good many of the trees growing in the county. The Fullerton Union high school will hold its second annual tractor and automobile short course January 17 to 22, it was announced.

To their many friends and patrons, Falkensteins extend the very best wishes for A Merry Christmas CONSERVATION OF WATER That the work of water conservation on the Santa Ana river debris cone is producing wonderful results was declared by Francis Cuttle, head of the tri-counties reforestation committee to the board of supervisors at San Bernardino. Mr. Cuttle was making a report on the expenditures on the project and outlined the work to be done by this county. An appropriation of $1250 from the $2500 budget item provided for water conservation was made to aid in the work of the committee. During the past two years approximately $30,000 has been expended, the bulk of it coming from Riverside interests. Redlands city has contributed $800. According to Mr. Cuttle's figures 180 inches of water per acre is sunk into the artesian basin and the result has been that at the opening of the irrigation season last summer the water level was higher than it had ever been, and following several years of less than normal rainfall. Mr. Cuttle exhibited photographs to demonstrate the character of dams that are built to spread the flood water from the Santa Ana river. It is possible to measure the water that flows over these dams and there figure how much water is sunk into the artesian basin over any number of acres. RUINING THE ROADS The opening up of the big new oil field at Huntington Beach has had a kick-back on Orange county's paved highways. Heavy trucking to the oil fields is pulverizing some of the pavement. The Beach field is so new that there has been no time to establish supply yards at Huntington Beach. Oil companies that have jumped into the beach's activities are getting their supplies from the yards at Brea. Trucks bearing huge loads of pipe and lowlands is without a good foundation. Roads there have nothing like the solidity that is found beneath most of the roads in the higher sections. Water does not drain off rapidly, and a good deal or damage has been done in these sections by overflow. The Eastern Star of Buena Park held their annual installation of officers at the Masonic Temple on Wednesday evening. Guests from Anaheim, Fullerton, Santa Ana, Yorba Linda, Norwalk and Artesia, as well as many visitors from Buena Park, filled the hall to capacity. At the close of the entertainment all descended to the banquet room where refreshments were served to all who cared to partake. The program began with the entrance of the installing marshal and chaplain, followed by the escort and introduction of visiting grand officers, matrons and patrons. Then the officers of 1921 entered, dressed entirely in white with corsage bouquets of red carnations, forming a bright contrast to their costumes. At intervals during the ceremony the guests were entertained delightfully by selections from Chopin and Paderewaki by Mr. Brisco of Anaheim and little Sarah Muirhead rendered two vocal selections in costume in her usual charming manner. The members elected and selected to fill the offices for 1921 in the O. E. S. are as follows: Marsh Thomas, worthy matron; George Thomas, worthy patron; Ilo Calder, associate matron; Margaret Martin, conductress; Ruth Winters, associate conductress; Lucia Little secretary; May Faegan, treasurer; Lella Isabell, organist; Emily Warren, marshal; Marian Eberhart, chaplain; Priscilla Watson, warden; John Tedford, sentimental; Elva Smith, Ada; Lulu Schumacher, Ruth; Alta Rodepher, Esther; Martha Shinn, Martha; Edith Mann, Electa.
