An Attraction Indeed! The Spring STETSONS are here. —when we say "good money's worth" we mean style backed by quality. For instance, when we assure a man that a Stetson Hat looks well on him, we are not thinking entirely of the present. We know that Stetson material and workmanship will keep that hat shapely and smart all season. The Spring hats are here. Styles delightfully new and crisp—at lower prices. By cutting a screen thieves gained entrance to the waiting room of the Santa Fe station Sunday night, then broke into the telephone booth, pried loose the toll box which they carried away with them. As the box was recently emptied it is supposed to have contained only a few nickles. No effort was made to get into the office. Officers throughout Southern California have been on the alert for the three highwaymen who held up a mail wagon in Los Angeles Thursday night and got away with checks, Liberty bonds and cash it is claimed will foot up to nearly a million dollars. The clerk in charge of the wagon was Jesse Alexander, an Anaheim man. He and the driver were handcuffed to their wagon by the thieves. Jess has been in the mail service for several years, but this was the most exciting incident in his experience. In a recent published list of recipes and hints to houswives we note that an elephants foot takes longer to cook than any other meat. It should be bolled thirty-six hours. This is important news. No doubt many cooks have been spoiling the dish by failing to boil it long enough. Mrs. J. P. Hatzfeld charmingly entertained a coterie of friends Saturday with a delicious 1 o'clock buffet luncheon at her home, in Tustin, which was prettily decorated with nanunculas. The gathering was sort of an Anaheim reminiscence party, as all the guests had been neighbors at one time in Anaheim, a few of whom have since moved to Santa Ana and other places.

Arbor day, dedicated to the planting of trees, and frequently observed in Orange county by the schools, passed Monday without recognition in the county so far as could be ascertained. Santa Ana schools, as well as schools in different sections of the county has observed the day in years past by the planting of trees. Arbor day originated in 1872 in Nebraska, with other states adopting it later and establishing different dates for its observance. Climatic conditions determining in a very large degree the dates set. In California March 7 has been officially designated as the date. Sometimes a day which is already a holiday is selected, as in Alabama and Texas, where Washington's birthday has been chosen, and in Jamaica where it is celebrated on Queen Victoria's birthday. In many states of the Union it is combined with Bird day. In general the date is early in the year, in the South, and is set further along toward summer in the more northern states, beginning in February and ending in May.

Abbey, deputy county clerk were in town last Thursday on county business. Captain McBride has served this county many years as surveyor and county engineer after the name of his office was changed, and has proven himself an efficient and faithful servant of the people. He was Captain of Company L when the war broke out and had command of the company while it did duty on the border. When the company was mustered into the federal service the government refused to accept him because he had lost the sight of one eye, notwithstanding every man in the company demanded that he be retained as captain. This action proves the assinninity of some of our war departments regulations, as McBride was one of the most expert rifle shots in the California national guard.

So declared County Clerk J. M. Backs, commenting on the fact that in San Bernardino county it has been found that nearly 100 persons granted interlocutory decrees have never filed their final decrees and are therefore still legally married. There may be two or three instances where, through an overnight or some other reason, the decree is not filed, but they are very rare, said Backs. Attorneys in divorce cases here do not consider their task complete until the final decree is filed and recorded. The divorced person may file the decree himself if he so desires but this is usually done by his attorney. INCREASE IN GAS RATE By decision 8680 rendered March 3, 1921 by the State Railroad Commission rates for industrial gas served by the Southern California Gas Company in its eastern district, including Orange County, Whittier, Pomona and Monrovia Districts, will be increased approximately 5 cents per thousand cubic feet. The new schedule of rates is to be effective for all regular meter readings taken on and after March 20, 1921. The present rates were established July 3, 1918 when the cost of gas purchased and all other operating expenses of the Gas Company were much less than at the present and other fuels which the gas supplanted were much cheaper. Since 1918, the cost of gas has materially increased and the Gas Company asked that the new rates reflect the existing level of operating costs, and provide the company a fair and reasonable return. The Southern Counties Gas Company has been required to pay a higher rate for gas purchased than was in effect at the establishment of the 1918 rate schedule, and, as a result, at the present time, the gas sold under one of its industrial schedules is actually sold at less than the cost of the gas to the company. Since 1918 the purchase of gas increased approximately 2 cents per thousand cubic feet, and if consideration is given to other charges an increase of approximately 5 cents per thousand has resulted. According to the Commission, the rates granted will result in an increase in the charges for industrial gas of approximately 5 cents per thousand cubic feet and are found to be just and reasonable. The new rates affect industrial consumers of the B, C, D, and E classes. Class B applies to internal combustion engines only. Class C includes bakeries, packing houses, metal working plants, preserving and canning establishments, fruit and vegetable dryers, etc. Class D includes steam boilers, incinerations, kilns or similar appliances. And Class D effects only those consumers of the Whittlor-Fullerton Section, Montebello, Brea, Whittler and the Richfield Oil Fields, consumers who desire to use gas for pumping or drilling oil wells by steam power, and is for the sale of strictly surplus gas. Copies of the new rate schedules may be obtained at the local office of the Southern Counties Gas Company within a few days.
