ANAHEIM BEHIND PRESIDENT HARDING THRIFT DRIVE ON INAUGURATION DAY PROVED TO BE A HOWLING SUCCESS More Than Eight Hundred New Savings Accounts Opened at Banks Friday, Principally By Children—Noisy Crowds Gather at Doors and Wait for Banks to Open—Movie Picture Camera Men Take Films for Distribution in Theatres. That Anaheim is unanimously behind President Harding in his advocacy of thrift and economy, and his demand for a return to a safe and sane business basis, was evidenced by the demonstration on inauguration day when almost the entire population of the city either participated in theatres and hundreds of thousands of people will gaze upon them and see what Anaheim people were doing to uphold the new administration at Washington just at the hour it was taking up the burden of government. Cameramen also went into the banks and shot pictures of the noisy, jostling children clamoring for places at the windows and at the First National Los Angeles street was cleared for a space on the sidewalk in order to let a machine get a picture of the stream of small depositors going in at the front door with anxious faces and emerging at the side door with satisfaction written on their countenances. Henry Ford's sermon on thrift have not been lost on his employees, it appears, as there came down from the agency, plowing its way through the crowd a Ford truck with a trailer behind it. Truck and trailer were packed with young men and women dressed in their work-a-day clothes, and streamers on the sides announced that they were employees of the Ford agency going to the bank to open a savings account. When the banks closed at night and the weary clerks footed up it was found that 828 new depositors had opened accounts during the day, and protection of the Orange county framing has been determined people, and drastic ransom adopted to stop the ing forbidden load the speed regulations supervisors will pro stations and the mo every driver who appa way with an overloo That Anaheim is unanimously behind President Harding in his advocacy of thrift and economy, and his demand for a return to a safe and sane business basis, was evidenced by the demonstration on inauguration day when almost the entire population of the city either participated in the run on the banks or aided and abetted the participants with their approval. The affair was unique in its conception, but it met with instantaneous approval of the people, and the example set by Anaheim could be followed by other cities to the profit of the towns and the nation. Allowing for the difference of time between Washington and Anaheim just at the hour of noon, in the Nation's Capital, when the reins of government passed from the hands of Mr. Wilson to Mr. Harding, the banks of this city opened their doors to admit a struggling, jostling noisy mob of children and in an instant the clerks were busy taking care of the most unique run ever experienced by any bank on earth. It was different from all the runs recorded in history, although the symptoms and the excitement were practically the same as in all runs. Instead of demanding their money these patrons were struggling for places at the windows and insisting that the clerks take their cash and give them in return neat little books showing savings deposit accounts. When the last of the bunch had parted with his money and gone, and the receiving clerks had time to foot up the figures, they found that the banks of the city had nine hundred more depositors on their books than they had when the doors opened. At half past eight o'clock members of the Elks band assembled at the corner of Los Angeles and Center streets and soon became the reeclusus of a crowd numbering thousands, half of them being children. School children had been given permission to be absent for an hour or two and they were all on hand; the majority chutching money in their hands or bank books that already had savings accounts recorded in them. Scattered through the crowd were a dozen or more banners bearing appropriate inscriptions such as "Anaheim Backs Harding," "Anaheim 100 Per Cent Thrifty," "Anaheim The Home Of Uncle Sam" and many others.

When the banks closed at night and the weary clerks footed up it was found that 828 new depositors had opened accounts during the day, and the total amount deposited was close to $50,000. A telegram was sent to President Harding telling him what Anaheim did in his name, and pictures also will be mailed to him. NEW CORPORATION At the banquet at the Oyster Loaf at Anaheim Monday night the Acme Cleaners and Dyers were incorporated for $75,000 and directors were named. The directors of the new incorporation will be E. R. West of Yorba Linda, formerly superintendent of the Yorba Linda Water Co.; P. V. Steen of Placentia, W. L. Morris of Anaheim, Charles Mann of Anaheim and Thos L. McFadden of Placentia. Plans are already completed for a central plant which will be located halfway between Fullerton and Anaheim on the highway. The equipment of this plant will be the latest in this class of establishment and will cost $15,000. One machine will be the only one of its kind west of the Atlantic Coast and will alone cost $2000. There are but eight of these machines in existence and will give this new concern a plant with an equipment far better than any in the state or on the coast. At the banquet at the Oyster Loaf Mr. Tom Endicott, president of the national cleaners and dyers of the United States, whose home and plant are at Atlantic City, N. J., was the principal speaker. He told these men of the things they should do and the things they must do to make their business a success. He told them of how he spends nearly all his time on the travel, visiting other plants than his own, constantly on the lookout for pointers that may help him to improve his own business. His talk and suggestions were well received by those present at the dinner. P. V. Steen, one of the proprietors of the Acme cleaning establishment in Placentia, will be manager of the new corporation and his partner, Chas Jerzy, will have charge of the main agency, plowing its way through the crowd a Ford truck with a trailer behind it.

Scattered through the crowd were a dozen or more banners bearing appropriate inscriptions such as "Anaheim Backs Harding," "Anaheim 100 Per Cent Thrifty," "Anaheim the Home of Uncle Sam" and many others. An automobile had been rolled into a convenient place and was used as a speaker's stand. Mayor Stark, Harry D Riley, president of the Chamber of Commerce, Judge J. S. Howard and a lady occupied the machine. The Judge had been prevailed upon to make an address and on being introduced by President Riley he made a short talk, commending the movement and dwelling upon the wisdom of starting a bank account in early life and then constantly adding to it. When the band played "America" the audience joined in while hundreds of small fists waved in the air, each clutching a bill, a silver dollar or a bank book. The banners shifted back and forth through the crowd, and three movie cameras from Los Angeles were trained on the animated scene and transferred it to celluloid films. Then a march was started around the flag pole in the center of the street by a portion of the children, but nine o'clock struck, the bank doors flew open, and the big crowd broke into sections and rushed for the open portals, each youngster going to his favorite bank to make his deposit, while the perspiring cameramen cranked out hundreds of feet of animated scenery. The Path, the Universal and Fox News Service each had a machine on hand, and the pictures will be distributed from New York throughout the United States. They will be shown in hundreds of business a success.

Steen, one of the proprietors of the Acme cleaning establishment in Placentia, will be manager of the new corporation and his partner, Chas Jerzy, will have charge of the main plant. Offices will be maintained in different towns in this end of the county and branches established as needed. Mr. Steen entered the cleaning and dying business in Placentia about two years ago with a "one man" shop and decidedly inadequate equipment. Mr. Jerzy joined him as a partner and together they have built up a splendid business and have one of the best plants in Orange county. Mr. West of Yorba Linda will have charge of the business office. ILLEGIBLE WRITERS About the only thing a business man writes with his own hand is his name and that, as often as not, is illegible. His letters are typewritten with a rule line at the end where he carves his name in cabalistic strokes. It may be a relic of the old idea that in order to forestall forgery there should be something peculiar, even cryptic, about a formal signature, but however it be, the fact remains that many men breast a signature that is as good or as bad as anything Horace Greely ever did, says Toledo Blade. The trick or affection of illegibility is an irritating habit and it is surprising that some efficiency expert has not figured out before this how many working hours are lost every day because of the puzzled efforts of receivers to decide whether the communication is from Rudyard Kipling, author or John Smith, junk dealer. AHEIM GAZETY Anaheim, California, Thursday, March 10, 1921 DRASTIC STEPS FOR HIGHWAY PROTECTION HEAVILY LOADED TRUCKS MUST BE PROHIBITED FROM RUINING THE ROADS County Aroused To The Necessity of Taking Measures to Preserve the Paved Highways—Trucks Will Be Weighed and Drivers Carrying too Much Weight to Be Heavily Fined— Protection of the paved highways of Orange county from heavy trucking has been determined upon by the people, and drastic measures will be adopted to stop the practice of hauling forbidden loads and violating the speed regulations by trucks. The supervisors will provide weighing stations and the motorcops will cite every driver who appears on the highway with an overloaded truck to ap- FEW SPACES LEFT FOR AUTOMOBILE SHOW County Exhibitors Demanded Nearly All the Room With Orange county car dealers and accessary men having had ten days in which to file their applications for units in the big automobile show to be held in Santa Ana next month under the auspices of the Orange County Trades Association, the remaining units were thrown open to applications from automobile men outside the county. There are not very many units to offer the outsiders, however, for the majority of Orange county men have not been slow in getting in on the ground floor with applications. Only four units were left in the tent to be devoted to the display of automobiles. More than two-thirds of the units in the truck, tractor and accessory tent have been taken. Those Orange County dealers who have made up their minds to participate in the show, and who have not filed their applications, will probably find themselves blocked unless they file applications with Secretary C. H McCauland at once. NEW MARMALADE COMPANY IS FORMED ANAHEIM CORPORATION WITH CAPITAL OF $100,000 AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS Will Manufacture Citrus Bi-Products—Citricube Invented by F. B. Johnson, to be the Principal Output—Delicious Jelly can be Made by Dissolving Inch-Square Cube in Boiling Water—Plant will be Started in this City. Sixty-five profitable bi-products are made from petroleum, that oleaginous, odoriferous substance that spouts so profitably from Orange county soil, but the possibilities of the second best product of the county, the orange, have not yet been exhausted. A good many toothsome cats and drinks have been concocted from citrus fruit, but probably many others are yet to Protection of the paved highways of Orange county from heavy trucking has been determined upon by the people, and drastic measures will be adopted to stop the practice of hauling forbidden loads and violating the speed regulations by trucks. The supervisors will provide weighing stations and the motorcops will cite every driver who appears on the highway with an overloaded truck to appear before the court and answer to the charge of violating a county ordinance. The county now has an ordinance limiting maximum loads to 23,400 pounds for four wheel vehicles and 30,000 pounds for equipment with six wheels. Contrary to the general report and general belief, the county can pass an ordinance limiting the weight of loads that may be permitted on its highways, including the state highway, the motor vehicle act providing for such regulations by cities and counties. The Santa Ana Realty board Saturday adopted the following resolution, which was introduced by Linn L. Shaw. "Whereas, Orange county's splendid system of paved highways is being seriously damaged by commercial trucks carrying heavier loads than the roads were constructed to withstand; and 'Whereas, these truck owners in many instances pay absolutely nothing for the privilege of destroying our highways; and 'Whereas, immediate action is necessary to prevent further damage to the roads in all parts of Orange county; be it therefore 'Resolved that the Santa Ana Realty board urges upon the board of supervisors the necessity of immediate regulation of all truck traffic in Orange county, and respectfully makes the following suggestions: 'First, that the legal truck load be reduced to a maximum of 12,000 pounds. 'Second that every truck entering Orange County shall carry a weight certificate of its load, with a heavy penalty attached to any fraud or any falsification connected therewith. "We believe these two measures can be adopted at once and would immediately put a stop to the tremendous damage now being done to our road system." Instead of meting out fines to speeders and violators of minor fractions of the motor vehicle law alone, Justice of the Peace Cox also will deal with Only four units were left in the tent to be devoted to the display of automobiles. More than two-thirds of the units in the truck, tractor and accessory tent have been taken. Those Orange County dealers who have made up their minds to participate in the show, and who have not filed their applications, will probably find themselves blocked unless they file applications with Secretary C. H McCausland at once. The show committee is proceeding with all arrangements for the big event in a business like manner and is closing up on contracts as early as possible to have most of the details out of the way a week in advance of the opening of the show. Arrangements wer made last week by McCausland for erection of the tents April 4, a week before the opening date. This will give the decorators, carpenters, electricians and other workmen opportunity to complete their work and get out of the way before installation of exhibits starts. Drawing for locations in the two tents will be held at the regular meeting of the trades association at Albert Sitton's garage, Fullerton, on Friday evening, March 18. COUNTY ASSESSORS NOW IN THE FIELD Sleeper's Men Began Taking Assessments Monday Do you own property in Orange county? If so, you are, of course, subject to paying what has been termed as sure death—taxes. Beginning of this week taxpayers of the county have been called upon to receive visits from men whose duty it is to ascertain the amount of assessable property individuals may have. And further, according to a polite announcement by County Assessor, Jas. Sleeper, the taxpayers will be expected to treat the assessor's deputies with consideration, to the end that the deputies may not have to return a second time for data. The names of the deputies who took the field Monday and who will keep busy until their task is completed in the time specified by law, the first Monday in July, were announced by Assessor Sleeper as follows: Henry Vander Leck, San Juan Capistrano; Roy I Smith, Tustin; E. F. Waite, Santa Ana; J. F. Fletcher, Orchard-Square Cube in Boiling Water—Plant will be Started in this City. Sixty-five profitable bi-products are made from petroleum, that oleaginous, odoriferous substance that spouts so profitably from Orange county soil, but the possibilities of the second best product of the county, the orange, have not yet been exhausted. A good many toothsome cats and drinks have been concocted from citrus fruit, but probably many others are yet to be invented. The Crawford marmalade, which has been so popular on the market for a number of years, was born in Anaheim and the first factory started here, and now another product has originated in this city and an Anaheim company will manufacture it. The marmalade cube is the latest thing to claim recognition, and it promises to become instantaneously popular and to find a ready market. It is the invention of F. B. Johnson of this city, and a company with a capital of $100,000 has been organized to make it and exploit it. The company has incorporated under the name of the Citricube Company, and its directors are R. R. Pember, Oet Johnson, F. B. Johnson, Walter Cadman and T. L. McFadden. As explained by one of the directors of the corporation, Johnson has devised a machine that will reduce citrus products to a concentrated form, comprising one cubic inch. This cube is treated in such a way that it can be converted into a marmalade by being placed in boiling water for ten minutes. All that is necessary to add the finishing touches is a little sugar and orange peel. In the process of manufacture the oil in the orange and the peel are treated separately. The fruit can be processed in a day according to Johnson. There is no adulteration and the cube will not mold or deteriorate. Only samples of the product have been produced so far. But, according to the directors, these samples have been given the "acid test" and approved by scientists. The cubes will retail for approximately fifteen cents each. The price will be low because of the fact that they will not have to be encased in glass jars or bottles, but in paper boxes. The company which will make the product, will according to one of the directors, pay $15 a ton for the oranges used in the process. One ton of the fruit, he says, will make 4,000 cubes one inch square. And the 4000 cubes will be sourced from a good source. Second that every truck entering Orange County shall carry a weight certificate of its load, with a heavy penalty attached to any fraud or any falsification connected therewith. "We believe these two measures can be adopted at once and would immediately put a stop to the tremendous damage now being done to our road system." Instead of meting out fines to speeders and violators of minor fractions of the motor vehicle law alone, Justice of the Peace Cox also will deal with drivers of overloaded trucks. County motorcycle officers continue to file complaints in the district attorney's office, and as the penalty for overloads is fixed at $20 per ton for every ton in excess of that allowed by county ordinance some of the alleged offenders will pay some "pretty stiff fines," in the opinion of the local authorities. One driver arrested by Traffic Officer W. S. Warner is charged with driving a truckload of brick that weighed five tons over the limit allowed by law. Others according to the officers have hauled loads two and three tons overnight. Among the truck drivers arrested last week are Harry Ashton, J. Bolden, L. Stockstill, J. D. Jett and R. Reudy. Those were cited to appear before Justice Cox by Officers Vernon Myers and Warner. Two of the drivers were caught on the Buena Park boulevard and three on the Irvine boulevard. District Attorney Nelson said that it is his intention to have an officer stationed at every highway entrance to the county even if more men have to be employed, and the board of supervisors recently authorized him to do this. Nelson said that he had received letters from two concerns, one an express company stating that they were willing to co-operate with the authorities in keeping their loads within the law. The names of the deputies who took the field Monday and who will keep busy until their task is completed in the time specified by law, the first Monday in July, were announced by Assessor Sleeper as follows: Henry Vander Leck, San Juan Capistrano; Roy I Smith, Tustin; E. F. Waite, Santa Ana; J. F. Fletcher, Orange; Frank Tausch, Anaheim; P. C. Woodward, Fullerton; Claude Ridgeway, La Habra; Frank McCarter, Newport Beach; C. W. Warner, Huntington Beach; W. H. Bentley, Westminster, and R. E. Green, Garden Grove. Of the eleven deputies appointed by Sleeper four served in making the assessment for the last fiscal year. They were Smith, Tausch, Ridgeway Waite and McCarter. The county assessment for the last fiscal year, 1919-20, was approximately $114,000,000. Sleeper says he believes that the assessment for the fiscal year of 1921-22 will be larger, but he is not prepared to give the estimate. The opening of new oil wells at Huntington Beach and elsewhere in the county and improvements made on other properties will be instrumental in enhancing the values. Sleeper says he also says a slight cut will have to be applied in assessing the lemon orchards. This Sleeper points out, will somewhat offset the gain in oil production.

Al Trahern left immediately after the show, but phoned down from Los Angeles the next morning to the landlady of the Southland Hotel, notifying her that his company was dissolved, his business connection with Anaheim at an end, and as soon as he was financially able to do so he would pay her the little bill he owed. The Southland immediately filed a complaint before Judge Howard which was put in the hands of the sheriff. Mr. Trahern came to Anaheim from Long Island, New York, three months ago. He brought with him an excellent theatrical troup and made his headquarters at this city. It was his intention to play two nights at Anaheim and the other four nights at the neighboring towns. He arranged for Monday night at the Yost theatre in Santa Ana and Tuesday and Wednesday nights at the Grand in this city, drawing good houses on these nights.

He arranged for Monday night at the Yost theatre in Santa Ana and Tuesday and Wednesday nights at the Grand in this city, drawing good houses on these nights, but he failed to get suitable locations for the balance of the week. He got good houses at Anaheim and Santa Ana but the company was a large one and the three nights could not pay the heavy expenses. His players were all artists, the plays they presented first-class and theatre goers will regret that the company were forced to disband. Mr. Trahern came here with high recommendations, and those who had business dealings with him believe that he will return and make good all his obligations. ARRIVED FROM HONOLULU A VERY SICK MAN J. W. Duckworth Lying Very Low At the Anaheim Sanitarium Friends of J. W. Duckworth heard with much concern that he arrived at home from his Honolulu trip last Thursday, a very sick man and that he is lying very low at the sanitarium. When the vessel on which Mr. and Mrs. Duckworth came across the sea from Honolulu arrived in San Francisco, a telegram was sent to W. E. Duckworth notifying him that his father was taken off the ship very sick. Billy immediately went up to the northern city and brought Mr. Duckworth home, arriving here on Thursday. Saturday he became so ill that his physicians decided to move him to the sanitarium where he could be given more care. He is suffering from anaemia. Mr. and Mrs. Duckworth's visit to the Hawaiian Islands was not a very happy one. They left here November 1, and the day before they were due to take ship at San Francisco Mrs. Duckworth had a fall, breaking her hip. She insisted, however on continuing the trip and was carried on board the ship, arriving at Honolulu in a helpless condition. She is still compelled to use crutches. They expected to stay in the islands six months, but Mr. Duckworth's health Oil Field—Company Chartered as Richfield Southern Oil Company The oil industry is gradually surrounding Aha heim and drawing neare' to us, and before many days some adventurous pioneer will probably drill a well in our midst, strike a gasusher and we will suddenly find our fair city listed among the oil towns. Many Anaheim men have money invested in oil companies operating elsewhere, and now it is announced a company has been formed here which proposes to make this city its headquarters. The company is a strong one. It is capitalized at $1,000,000, and the men behind it are well known in the business and financial world throughout Southern California. The company has valuable leases in the Placentia-Richfield field, consequently it is not organized for the purpose of wild catting, but for the development of proven territory. The organization has received its charter, authorizing a capatalization for $1,000,000. The directors are Sam'l P. Kraemer of Placentia, George Wentz, John Wentz, J. S. Ward and Ben Yorba of Anaheim. Lawrence Mellincollis of Los Angeles, J Peterson and O. W. Clark of Long Beach F. H. Forter of Pasadena and Joe Skidmore of Laguna Beach. Mr. Kraemer is president and J. S. Ward secretary. The company is chartered as the Richfield Southern Oil Company, and it is preparing to have a building erected in this city for its especial use. The Houck property on Lemon street is being considered. CAMP TRANSFERRED TO COUNTY Y BOYS Through the hearty co-operation of friends of the boys in the County Young Men's Association, the camp equipment located in the Santiago Canyon above Modjeska's Home has been transferred from the Long Beach Young Women's Christian Association which has held it for 4 years over to the Orange County Committee Y.

It is equipped with a splendid cabin with fireplaces, window-seats, etc., a well equipped kitchen and good store room and 4 large tents with floors. There is also cooking and serving equipment for 35 as well as the spring beds and mattresses, altogether one of the most complete little camp sites to be found Mr. and Mrs. Duckworth's visit to the Hawaiian Islands was not a very happy one.

She insisted, however on continuing the trip and was carried on board the ship arriving at Honolulu in a helpless condition. She is still compelled to use crutches. They expected to stay in the islands six months, but Mr. Duckworth's health began to fail and they decided to hurry home. Mr. Duckworth was taken so ill on ship board that he was compelled to remain in bed and was in a serious condition when the ship arrived in San Francisco. JONATHAN KRAEMER DEAD News was received in Placentia last week of the death of D. Jonathan Kraemer at Brownville, Texas. He had been ill but a few days prior to his death, and his condition had not been considered serious. When one of his neighbors called at his home one morning and received no response the door was broken open and he was found dead in bed. Jonathan Kraemer was a native of Illinois and was nearly 68 years old. He came to California with his father's family in 1867 and was one of the first settlers in this district. From here he went to Mexico several years ago where he acquired large land holdings and engaged in stock raising. The revolutionists drove all his stock away and twice stood him up against a wall to shoot him but let him go. He returned to this country and paid Placentia a visit three or four years ago. He went back to Mexico but was again driven out and has since lived in Brownville, Texas. Anaheim Gazette, fifty-two weeks for $1.50. The property which is located on the edge of the Cleveland Forest Reserve consists of a little over 3 acres. It is equipped with a splendid cabin with fireplaces, window-seats, etc., a well equipped kitchen and good store room and 4 large tents with floors. There is also cooking and serving equipment for 35 as well as the spring beds and mattresses, altogether one of the most complete little camp sites to be found anywhere. The Y Secretaries were looking around last spring for a place where they could pull over-night camps, and this spot was located. Since that time over 200 boys have gone in on little over-night trips, while the girls' gym class of the Orange High School availed itself of permission to use it. An option to purchase was given the committee last summer and when the men became convinced that it was the place they needed for their work, a quiet canvass was made of the friends of the Association with the result that the full amount of $1,800 has been secured. It is the plan of the county committee to make this camp site the popular over-night and week-end spot for the young people of Orange County. Plans are now under way by the Camp and Outing Committee whereby organizations such as organized classes of boys and girls with proper leadership may be able to secure its use, especially during the summer months. The question of a name for the camp is to be taken up at the Executive Committee meeting on Monday, when it is hoped that a suitable name may be found. Men and boys who have visited the camp are congratulating themselves on its acquisition and laying big plans for the good times which they hope to have there during the coming months.
