T. Harding in Big Tent Sunday—Directors Extend Time of Closing Three Days on Account of Rain—List of Prizes Awarded. At midnight last night the First Annual California Valencia Orange show closed its gates to the public, thus bringing to a close one of the most successful industrial entertainments ever offered to the people of the southland. It was an unqualified success, and the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, which fathered the move and carried it to completion, has reason to prize, Spinks variety; C. P. Taft, Orange, first prize, Taft variety; first prize, best orchard display, Earl Gage, Fullerton; second prize, best orchard display, E. E. Knight, Yorba Linda; third prize, best orchard display, J. T. Whedon, Yorba Linda. One of the most interesting displays of home products was in an auxiliary tent labelled "Baby Welfare Show." More than three hundred young Californians were on exhibition here, and the protesting infants were systematically measured, weighed, thumped and otherwise maltreated by a long array of doctors, dentists, nurses, etc. As is usually the case in a California baby show, most of them were found to be too husky for their ages, consequently could not be considered a perfect child. Following is a list of the prizes awarded: Sweepstakes, boy, Jackson D. Hunter, Anaheim silver loving cup, Johnston-Wickett clinic. Sweepstakes, girl, Margaret Parker, Fullerton, silver loving cup, Theodore Bros., Anaheim Laundry.

It was an unqualified success, and the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, which fathered the move and carried it to completion, has reason to be proud of its achievement. From the moment the show was opened by President Harding on Tuesday morning, May 17, to its close at midnight last night, entertainment of a high order has been offered the visitors in the great canvas, in addition to a display of fruit such as was never known before in the Valencia world. During the nine days the show was open Anaheim was the mecca to which all the roads in southern California led, and thousands of people trekked in from every point of the compass to see the great Valencia display in the heart of the Valencia section. Opening the show by President Harding over nearly four thousand miles of wire, was a unique affair, and gave it much publicity, and the president's relatives in this county, Mrs. Remsberg and her family, took a great interest in the show, and were frequent visitors. At the packing plant, which was operated inside the main tent, Mrs. Remsberg assisted in packing a box of choice fruit which was shipped direct to the white house. Visitors to the tent were given another treat Sunday afternoon when Dr. George T. Harding, brother of the president, made an excellent address to the American Legion boys. Dr. Harding was accompanied by his son, Warren G. Harding, the second, his daughter, Ruth, and Mr. and Mrs. Remsberg. Dr. Harding was introduced to the audience at 3:15 by Herman Stern. The doctor spoke about fifteen minutes, dwelling principally on the disabilities of the service men, many of whom he says, are suffering from nervous disorders, although they show no appearance of being afflicted in any manner. There are many ex-service men, he declared, who find it hard to buckle down to hard work because of nerve shock, although they appear to be in excellent health. He believed there would be a speeding up of the work of the war risk booard at Washington under the direction of Dr. Sawyer, the new head.

He believed there would be a speeding up of the work of the war risk booard at Washington under the direction of Dr. Sawyer, the new head. Owing to the fact that thousands of people throughout southern California who desired to attend the show were likely to be disappointed because of the rainy days the latter part of the week, the directors decided Saturday to continue it three days longer. The closing hour was originally fixed for 12:50 Sunday night, but Saturday the Southern California Editorial association was informed that it would continue until last night. While the Valencia orange overshadowed all other fruits, several others were on display, and at the request of many growers a department was devoted to avocados. This county is the home of the avocado, or alligator pear, and some of the finest specimens ever grown were on display, several of them weighing more than two and a half pounds. Following is the list of prizes awarded to the growers: F. Dewitt Smith, Tustin, first prize, Blakeman variety; Sherman Stevens, Tustin, first prize, challenge variety; J. T.

Harold Powell Makes Interesting Address and Tell Members Not to Be Afraid of Over-Production—Capacity of New Plant Three and a Half Cars Per Day. The beautiful new packing house of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association at the intersection of Lincoln avenue and the S. P. tracks, is now completed and probably by this time a force of employees are at work packing the luscious Valencias and sending them forth to the eastern market. W. H. Schureman, who will be superintendent are very favorable to the half-day closing in the middle of the week. They declare that it is possible for them to close afternoons, on a mid-week day and not possible Saturday afternoons. Pastors assert their belief that a half holiday Thursdays will prove more beneficial to owners and employees of mercantile establishments than will closing Saturday afternoons. It would give them an opportunity for brief respite from their daily labor, thus conserving their energies, in the opinion of the ministers. At the most recent meeting of the club, recommendation was made that Wednesday night be made prayer meeting night generally throughout the county. With the exception of Santa Ana and one or two other communities in the county, churches are holding the mid-week meeting on Wednesday. Pastors of those churches in communities where Thursday night rules for holding prayer meetings have been discussing the recommendation with members of their congregation, and it is said that it is very probable that it will be adopted. The First Methodist church of Santa Ana first has taken action in adoption of the suggestion, and starting VISITING EDITORS ARE GUESTS OF ANAHEIM ONE HUNDRED NEWSPAPER MEN AND WOMEN SEE THE BIG ORANGE SHOW SATURDAY Banqueted at the Oyster Loaf Cafe Before Going to the Grounds—Hon.

On hundred newspaper men and women, members of the Southern California Editorial association, together with various members of their families, were guests last Saturday of Anaheim, and were entertained by directors of the orange show. Before taking the visitors to the tents it was deemed prudent to feed them, a man with a good dinner under his belt Over-Production—Capacity of New Plant Three and a Half Cars Per Day. The beautiful new packing house of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association at the intersection of Lincoln avenue and the S. P. tracks, is now completed and probably by this time a force of employees are at work packing the luscious Valencias and sending them forth to the eastern market. W. H. Schureman, who will be superintendent of both the old and new houses, announced that he expected to open up yesterday and begin the first pack. Stockholders of the association celebrated the completion of the new house by gathering at the building on Tuesday, accompanied by their wives and other members of their families. The meeting was an unofficial one, dedication of the new plant being the object, and listening to an address by G. Harold Powell being the principal item on the entertainment program, aside from the banquet. George A. Mills, who counted noses as he fed the multitude, reported 450 persons present, which was something of a crowd considering that there was no business of importance before the meeting. Mr. Powell, who is one of the best posted men on the citrus industry in the country, made an interesting talk. He is not alarmed about the future of the industry, stating that he has no fear of over-production. When California produced only 5000 cars of oranges per year, he said, fears were expressed that an increase in the crop would cause over-production, consequently disaster to the growers, but now 60,000 cars are being produced in a year, and there is no sign of overproduction on the market. He has no fears whatever that there will ever be an over-production. The banquet, of course, was in charge of Director George A. Mills, who years ago, made an enviable reputation as chef, and adds a little to it each year. Because of the excellence of his annual feeds members of the association are very solicitous over Mills' health, but he bids fair to be in charge of the commissary for at least another fifty years. The new packing house was built because the business of the association had far outgrown the old house, and there was not room on the ground to build any more additions to the old plant. It was necessary to either build another house or again divide the association, consequently the stockholders decided to build, and a site on Over-Production—Capacity of New Plant Three and a Half Cars Per Day. Mrs. Edith Fay Strodthoff, one of the best known and most highly respected residents of this section, died at a Los Angeles hospital on Thursday evening last at 9 o'clock following a surgical operation. She was the daughter of Mrs. Sarah J. Fay, of this city, and was the wife of Henry Strodthoff, a well-known business man of Los Angeles. News of her untimely end came as a great shock to her many friends in this city, and is the cause of sincere mourning on all sides. She leaves a husband, Henry Strodthoff, and daughter, Miss Jeanette Strodthoff, who reside in Los Angeles. Relatives in this city are her mother, Mrs. Sarah J. Fay; three sisters, Mrs. Jane McKinley, Miss Alexandra Fay and Miss Theresa Fay, and two brothers, Chas. and Archer Fay. They have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community on their great affliction. Funeral services were held in Los Angeles on Saturday and were attended by many sorrowing friends of the deceased. Many beautiful floral offerings were placed about the casket in testimony of the esteem in which she was every where held. Her death is deplored by the family's many friends in Orange county. FULLERTON TO HAVE FINE NEW HOTEL Plans Formed for Big Hostelry in the Northern City After months and even years of waiting Fullerton's much discussed, long-waited, much-desired hotel project has assumed such definite shape that, official confirmation was authorized Friday by the board of trade that the new hotel seems not only likely Other Members of the Southern California Editorial Association. On hundred newspaper men and women, members of the Southern California Editorial association, together with various members of their families, were guests last Saturday of Anaheim, and were entertained by directors of the orange show. Before taking the visitors to the tents it was deemed prudent to feed them, a man with a good dinner under his belt is more appreciative than a hungry one, and the good opinion of these guests was desired, consequently all of the visitors were horded at the Oyster Loaf cafe at 12:30, where a banquet had been prepared for them. Herman Stern, chairman of the executive committee, had charge of the affair and introduced several speakers after the eatables had all been disposed of. An address of welcome was made by C. C. Chapman, honorary president of the orange show, his speech being responded to by John E. King, of Hemet, president of the editorial association. Mr. Chapman paid a high tribute to the newspapers, declaring they were molders of public opinion, and thought for that reason the editor should always be careful to utter nothing but the truth. Instead of quarreling among themselves, he declared, the editors should combine and work in harmony for the betterment of conditions. Southern California, he said, has an exceptionally high class of newspapers. In his response, Mr. King heartily endorsed Mr. Chapman's remarks. Short speeches were also made by Mrs. J. C. Penney, of Long Beach; J. L. Matthews, of Covina; N. L. Chapin, of the California Farmer, and Manager Fraser, of the orange show. At the close of the banquet the entire party motored out to the tents where the afternoon was spent seeing the sights at the big show. Following are those present, including members of the orange show committee and visiting editors: H. A. Miller, Corona; N. C. Kelley, Corona; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jackson, Anaheim; Josephine Morehouse, Placetta; Mrs. Mary M. Coman, Covina; Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Matthews, Covina; Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Penny, Long Beach; Mrs. Ida Fountain; Mr. and Mrs. John E.

John Oliver, pastor of the First Methodist church, of that city. It is declared that many business men of Santa Ana and Anaheim who have been approached on the question, have expressed themselves as favoring the movement, approval merchants in other cities being given an condition that Santa Ana business men take the lead in the movement. Thursday afternoon is suggested as the time of the half-holiday, it supplant the custom of many merchants in closing Saturday afternoon during the summer months.

Last Wednesday night, at the "Ladies" night dinner of the board of trade, R. S. Gregory announced that it seemed likely our new hotel would soon become a reality. Nothing much was thought of this flash of optimism, until Friday, when a special session of the board of directors of the board of trade was held at the office of the Fullerton Realty Co., with Secretary W. M. Irwin, at which time R. S. Grogory, Samuel Fuller and Attorney E. J. Marks went over the proposition thoroughly with the directors and assured them that the funds were already in sight for the construction of the hotel. Definitive assurance was given that a hotel of from 75 to 100 rooms, to take care of the present rapid growth of this district as well as looking toward the future, would be built, at a cost variously estimated at from $100,000 upwards. This is considered the most welcome news recorded in a long long time and it is so good that the Fullerton board of trade has issued a call for a mass meeting next Tuesday night, with a supper at 7 o'clock in the Fullerton club rooms, to hear all about the plans and the project. It is hinted vaguely that the co-operation of C. C. Chapman has made the financing of this project possible.

C. Wallace, real estate man who represents the county in the California Real Estate association and who is an active member of the committee on arrangement for the first annual picnic of the association. The picnic will be held, as has been previously announced, Saturday, May 28, at Orange county park and will bring real estate men and their families and friends from all over southern California. Oakland; San Francisco, Fresno and Bakersfield have signified their intention to send representatives, and the cities of the southern section are joining in all plans with great enthusiasm. The hope of the association is to make the occasion a great get-together affair and such a success that it will be followed by equally enthusiastic gatherings, every year. Everybody attending will bring their contributions toward the big basket dinner which will be served at noon and which will be accompanied by unlimited quantities of amber coffee DECORATION DAY SERVICES AT CEMETERY REV.

This society is composed of the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of men who served in the late war, and this is the first time the Anaheim body has ever taken part in a public function. The services will be held at the Anaheim cemetery, Monday, May 30, beginning at 9:30 o'clock. The Anaheim band will furnish the music, and Rev. A. B. Markle has consented to make the address. Mr. Markle is one of the few surviving veterans who fought for his flag during the civil war, and it is fitting that he should be chosen to make the principal address. Memorial services will be held at Fullerton on Sunday, which will be attended by many Anaheim people, but on Monday the Fullertonites will come over in a body to assist in the services at the cemetery. The American Legion throughout the United States is taking an active part in Decoration Day ceremonies this year, and is making an effort to have all business cease on that day. It will be a holiday in this city, business houses generally being closed up. Following is the program of exercises at the cemetery: Assemble at gate 9:30 sharp.

WILL GROW ORANGES With visions of possible wealth rolling in from his orange grove located west of Anaheim, and his income supplemented by possible receipts from an WILL GROW ORANGES With visions of possible wealth rolling in from his orange grove located west of Anaheim, and his income supplemented by possible receipts from an oil lease, R. H. Swezoy, severed his connection with the Metropolitan Life Insurance company of New York in order that he might devote himself to his ranch. He will build a residence on the property at once and will make his home there. Swezey owns ten acres of four-year-old Valencia orange trees west of Anaheim, at the junction of the boulevard to Artesia and the Buena Park boulevard. There is considerable activity in oil leasing in the immediate neighborhood of his ranch. The Midway Petroleum company is drilling a well 300 yards north of his place. He has been offered $25 an acre a month for an oil lease on his acreage, cash payment to continue until the test well by Midway Petroleum determines whether there is oil in the section. If the well is a success, the payments will cease and drilling operations will start on his ranch, the lease to remain operative under a one-sixth royalty. Swezey has been special agent and canvasser for the insurance company in this county for the last eight years, handling the industrial department. The Anaheim Elks entertainment committee has arranged a big dance for Pressel's hall this evening. Green's Marigold Gardens orchestra of Chicago, which made music for the orange show, has been engaged.
