WHY PATRONIZE THE FOREIGN PEDDLER THE LOS ANGELES FRUIT, VEGETABLE AND MEAT HUCKSTERS SHOULD BE SQUELCHED People Loyal to Their Own Homes Ought to Refuse to Purchase of These Men Who Are a Menace to Local Business—People Should Be Educated to the Fact That it is to Their Interest to Trade at Home. Some time ago the city officials decreed that hucksters or alien vendors of fruits, vegetables, etc., should not hawk their wares in front of the places of business of local dealers in the same commodities. This was one step in the proper direction, but it would have been much better if these peddlers could be prohibited from coming inside the city limits. It is to be hoped the day will come, and that soon, when the cry of the "bananno" and "appul" man, who comes down from Los Angeles with his load of cheap stuff, will be heard on our streets no more, for these people derive their income from their labor or business here, but the bulk of it is spent to help build up some other city. If all the people of Anaheim were of the same opinion, this city as a business community, and as a busy, hustling town, would be wiped out of existence, and it would degenerate into a small hamlet of dwellings of people who own their property and cannot dispose of it. The bread-winner would have to go elsewhere to make a living for his family. The dollars you spend in Los Angeles enriches that city at the expense of your own. The dollars you spend in Anaheim remain here and help increase the value of your own property. Another thing you should consider before buying of a stranger. When you deal with a home merchant you are dealing with a man you know, a man who is your neighbor and friend, and whom you can trust. When you deal with a Los Angeles merchant you are dealing with a man whose only interest in you is the profit he can make out of you. Some time ago an Anaheim young man thought he could save money by buying a suit of clothes in Los Angeles. He was shown a suit that chanced to fit him passably well — at least the salesman made him think so. The price was marked down to the Anaheim young man because the suit had been made for another party who failed to take the clothes. The young man was well pleased with GOAL IS BY CHANGE MEMBERSHIP OF BY WORKER DAYS' Major Adams' Forces Major Eygabroad Names—W. T.

This was one step in the proper direction, but it would have been much better if these peddlers could be prohibited from coming inside the city limits. It is to be hoped the day will come, and that soon, when the cry of the "bananno" and "appul" man, who comes down from Los Angeles with his load of cheap stuff, will be heard on our streets no more, forever, and the local merchant, who lives in our midst and helps maintain the city, will get a square deal. The allen peddler, who is generally an Italian, loads up his wagon at the Los Angeles market with overripe or condemned stuff that cannot be handled by the legitimate trade. He goes out into the surrounding towns and peddles his goods at a price, frequently far below what the local dealer would have to pay for first-class goods. This man has no interest in the town. His interest ceases when he pockets and carries away the dollars he receives for his wares. He owns no property here, pays no taxes to maintain the city's government, its streets and its schools. It is immaterial to him whether the town grows, stands still or dies. He spends no money here, his sole business being to gather some of its dollars and take them to his home in a neighboring city, where he spends them. On the other hand the home dealer maintains a business that is a benefit to the city. He owns his own home, perhaps, and either owns or pays rent for his business room. He pays taxes and license, patronizes the municipal water and light plant, helps in every possible way to boost the city and advance property values, and the profits he receives from his business are spent among other business houses for the maintenance of his family. He helps keep up the churches, and subscribes to every project for the city's benefit. Dollars spent with him are put in circulation again in the same community, and helps make the city prosperous. It is incomprehensible why people will pass up their home dealer, their neighbor and friend, who perhaps patronizes them, and buy of the foreign peddler for the sake of saving a few pennies. Another peddler who occasionally does a thriving business is the meat vender, who offers delicious hams at a price much below the local market. CAMPBELL'S FUNERAL HELD IN THIS CITY Was a Member of the Anaheim Lodge of Elks Funeral services were held in this city Friday afternoon for Jess V. Campbell, oil driller of Balboa, who was shot and fatally wounded by his wife, Mary Campbell, just outside their home at Balboa Monday of last week. The funeral services were conducted from the parlors of Backs and Terry and were under the auspices of the Anaheim lodge of Elks, of which the deceased was a member. It was stated that the funeral had been held in abeyance for more than a week in the forlorn hope of locating relatives of the deceased. He was said to have been a native of Alabama, but all efforts to locate relatives in that state proved futile. From authoritative sources it has been learned that Campbell is not the real name of the deceased and it is believed that because of the assumed name under which he was known his blood relatives could not be found. Mrs. Campbell, who is confined in the county jail pending her preliminary hearing, which was continued to August 3 at 10 o'clock, has not furnished the authorities any information that would enable them to find Campbell's relatives.

Another peddler who occasionally does a thriving business is the meat vendor, who offers delicious hams at a price much below the local market. Many people who have patronized this gentleman have found themselves swindled, but that doesn't deter others from buying his hams under the impression that they are getting something for a little less money than the home deli charges. George McPhee, county sealer, has frequently arrested some of these fellows and caused them to be leavily fined for selling short weight goods, but the people it appears love to be swindled, and will continue to patronize them. We might also remark, incidentally, that there are four good bakeries in this city, each turning out a quality of bread that has no superior on earth, yet several Los Angeles bakeries have established a trade here, and take a large volume of businesses away from the home institutions. People buy the imported bread on the hypothesis, perhaps, that it must be better than the home product because it is made elsewhere. There is a class of people, also, who are of small benefit to their town, because they persistently patronize foreign merchants in preference to their home dealers. Like a breechy cow, they are obsessed with the idea that the pasture is better in the next field. They will use a dollar's worth of gas driving to Los Angeles, but are happy if they think they have saved two-bits. Mrs. Campbell, who is confined in the county jail pending her preliminary hearing, which was continued to August 3 at 10 o'clock, has not furnished the authorities any information that would enable them to find Campbell's relatives. TALBERT IN A FIGHT Through a legal document filed in superior court Monday it developed that T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors, and Robert C. Avery, of Long Beach, some time ago engaged in a fistic battle in which both gentlemen appear to have been somewhat damaged. The document filed Monday was a cross-complaint and answer on behalf of Mr. Talbert. Avery alleges in his complaint, which is on file in the superior court, that he was assaulted by Talbert May 25 in the latter's private office at Huntington Beach. The Long Beach man asserts that as a result of the battle he sustained a broken nose, the loss of several teeth, a cut lip and a battered face and chest. In his answer Talbert denies that he struck Avery without cause and claims that he acted in self-defense, being of the opinion that Avery was about to do him bodily harm. In his cross-complaint Talbert seeks $2,650 damages. He asserts that he dislocated a joint of one finger of his right hand and broke a bone in the same hand. Each bill for damages includes doctor's fees and loss of money by reason of being unable to attend to regular business affairs. George E. and Philip McCaughan are attorneys for Avery and Blodgett and Blodgett are attorneys for Talbert. Anaheim, California, Thursday, July 14, 1921 GOAL IS REACHED BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEMBERSHIP OF 363 SIGNED UP BY WORKERS IN FOUR DAYS' DRIVE Major Adams' Forces Enroll 197 While Major Eygabroad's Squads Get 166 Names—W. T. Wallop's Company Carries Off the Honors With Fifty-Eight to Its Credit—Efforts Will Be Made to Increase the Membership to Four Hundred. When the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce fixed upon a membership of 350 as the goal which they expected to reach in the three days' drive last week, it looked like they had set themselves an impossible task, but it appears that nothing is impossible of accomplishment in Anaheim, if the right men get behind it. When the majors and the captains and the privates footed up the final returns Friday they found that the goal had been reached, and a surplus of a baker's dozen had been signed up. In other words a total THAT NEW BRIDGE What many at Orange regard as one of the most important pieces of bridge construction ever undertaken in the country, will be gotten under way when the board of supervisors awards a contract for the erection of a bridge across the Santa Ana river at a point near Olive. The bridge will open a direct route from Orange and Santa Ana to the wealthy oil fields at Richfield and Placentia. It is believed the opening of the road will make those fields as accessible to Orange and Santa Ana as they are now accessible to Anaheim and Fuhrerton. Business men of Orange have long been agitating the construction of a bridge at that point, having a keen eye to what the opening of a road into the rich district would mean. Plans, as drawn by County Engineer J. L. McBride, call for a bridge with fifteen-foot spans across the main portion of the river. Reinforced concrete piles will be used, the superstructure to be of wood. The approaches to the bridge will be of pile trestle. The trestle approach on the south side will be 160 feet in length and on the north side 148 feet. The trestle was chosen for the approaches for two reasons, one being that it is cheaper than a dirt fill and the other that in case of overflow from the river the water may pass through instead of backing up against the fill. REFORM COSTLY BUT SANTA ANA MUST PAY IMPORTED SLEUTH FINDS LITTLE FIRE BUT STIRS UP BIG SMOKE Mayor Employs Private Detective to Secretly Investigate Police, Which Somewhat Peeves Chief Jernigan—Officers Showing Clean Bill, Sieuth Arrests Three Negroas, a Mexican and a Woman, and Charges City Nine Hundred and Some Odd Dollars. Apropos of the recent so-called vice raid at Santa Ana, in which, according to published reports of the affair City Marshal Sam Jernigan played the star part as chief sleuth, an inside story is current that the head of the police department and the head of the Santa Ana city council are now doing the Alphonse and Gaston act in dodging responsibility for the near sensation. For, according to rumor, that, so far has not been denied, the Santa Ana city council at the suggestion of its president, engaged a professional de- Commerced fixed upon a membership of 350 as the goal which they expected to reach in the three days' drive last week, it looked like they had set themselves an impossible task, but it appears that nothing is impossible of accomplishment in Anaheim, if the right men get behind it. When the majors and the captains and the privates footed up the final returns Friday they found that the goal had been reached, and a surplus of a baker's dozen had been signed up. In other words a total of 363 men had signed the roll and pledged themselves to pay $25 per year to maintain Anaheim's booster organization. A committee of forty-nine live citizens did all the work, and to them belongs the credit of establishing a civic body that is expected to accomplish much for this city during the coming year. A. B. McCord was selected as chairman of the committee and manager of the campaign. The force was divided into two sections, each commanded by a major. Henry Adams was chosen major of the "Go-Get-Ems" division, and Charles Eygabroad major of the "Valencia Tigers." Major Adam's captains were William Goodrum, H. G. Schmeizer, William Falkenstein, V. W. La Mont, H. E. W. Barmes, W. T. Wallop and Herman Stern. The captains under Major Eygabroad were W. E. Alexander, Jr., W. D. Grafton, E. P. Camp, George M. Ross, J. A. Geissinger, F. N. Gibbs and Tom Wilkinson. There was considerable rivalry between the two forces, each determined to turn in the largest list, although here were no bets, no premiums and no penalties attached to the work to compensate or punish. Both sides did good work, but the Adams forces appeared to have been more active, or had better luck. The "Go-Get-Ems" turned in 197 names and the "Valencia Tigers," '66. Capt. W. T. Wallop's team won the honors by signing up fifty-eight men. Major Charles Eygabroad, commander of the losing forces, accepted defeat gracefully, and was happy because the opposing side had signed up so many. He said: "I want to thank my team captains and workers for the splendid service they have rendered in building up a strong organization for Anaheim, and I want to congratulate Major Adams and his division on the showing they have made. I am glad they were able to make a better record than we for all of us have the good of Reinforced concrete piles will be used, the superstructure to be of wood. The approaches to the bridge will be of pile trestle. The trestle approach on the south side will be 160 feet in length and on the north side 148 feet. The trestle was chosen for the approaches for two reasons, one being that it is cheaper than a dirt fill and the other that in case of overflow from the river the water may pass through instead of backing up against the fill. It is also expected the supervisors tomorrow will call for bids for building a bridge across the Santa Ana river at Seventeenth street. WOMAN CITRUS GROWER FILES AN ANSWER Will Fight Suit of the Placentia Growers' Association Through her attorney, Leonard Evans, Mrs. Olive King, of Los Angeles, filed an answer to the suit brought against her by the Placentia Mutual Orange association for $1190, alleged to be due because of a violation of a contract with the association. The association holds that Mrs. King joined the organization and signed a written agreement whereby she was to permit her citrus fruit crop to be picked, packed and marketed through the association. Failure of a member to abide by the contract makes him subject to a forfeiture of 50 cents a standard box. According to Head and Rutan, attorneys for the association, Mrs. King disposed of 840 boxes of naval oranges and 1540 boxes of Valencias, grown on her 11-acre citrus orchard near Placentia in 1919-20, through an agency other than the association. This, they claim, constituted a violation of her agreement. In her answer Mrs. King denies that the association was ready and willing to pick pack and market the fruit grown on her property until long after it had matured and until a large percentage of the fruit had dropped from the trees and became a total loss. She also alleges that the association marketed fruits grown by persons who were not stockholders to the exclusion of her own crops. Mrs. King also asserts that she sought information of a representative of the association in Placentia as to how she might withdraw from the organization but could not get anything tangible on this matter. For, according to rumor, that, so far has not been denied, the Santa Ana city council at the suggestion of its president, engaged a professional detective from Los Angeles to come to Santa Ana and thoroughly investigate the Santa Ana police department, the action being taken without knowledge of City Marshal Jernigan or any of his staff, and after five days' unsuccessful sleuthing, report was made to Mayor Mitchell that while the morale and morality of the Santa Ana guardians of the peace were possibly not so deep as a well nor so wide as a door, there wasn't much the matter with them in a general way, and Smiling Sam and his force might be given a conditional clean bill of health. Then, according to rumor, the Los Angeles detective was introduced to Jernigan by Mayor Mitchell as having been engaged in clandestinely combing the city and root out all and sundry pimps, prostitutes, gamblers, booze-runners, boot-leggers and other undesirables, and Jernigan was requested and agreed to lend all possible aid and assistance by both himself and his men to enforce the law and incidentally comply with the mayor's instructions. And the campaign was on. The "drive" didn't last long, however, for outside of the heated imaginations of certain would-be reformers who are said to see in social conditions at the county seat a cross between Tia Juana and Sodom and Gomorrah, the detective drag-net failed to enmesh anyone of importance, the net result being the arrest of a couple of colored men and a colored woman, who were charged with keeping a house of questionable repute, an Indian fish-peddler who has the reputation of having openly sold booze for years and the capture of a Mexican and the confiscation of a stock of assorted calamity water being dispensed in the classic preclocks of Lincoln street, a suburb of the city some times known as Sonoratown, and this aggregation was dealt with at what is freely characterized as a drum-head court presided over by the city recorder, who accepted a plea of guilty as charged from all Major Charles Eygabroad, commander of the losing forces, accepted defeat gracefully, and was happy because the opposing side had signed up so many. He said: "I want to thank my team captains and workers for the splendid service they have rendered in building up a strong organization for Anaheim, and I want to congratulate Major Adams and his division on the showing they have made. I am glad they were able to make a better record than we, for all of us have the good of the city at heart." Ben Schoeboe, representative of the American City Bureau, which planned the campaign, and who was on the job here during the drive, was highly pleased over the results. "The people of Anaheim are certainly a splendid bunch to work with," said Schoeboe. "They are up and doing every minute. It has been a long time since I had the pleasure of working with a better aggregation of business men. They have the vision and the spirit to make a great city of Anaheim. I will certainly look forward to years of important activity on the part of the organization they have just built. And in this work the American City Bureau stands ready, willing and anxious, to render every assistance possible in making this organization the greatest possible success." Missors Alice and Bernice Strodthoff, of Los Angeles, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Strodthoff, were guests the past week of Mr. and Mrs. Yungbluth. On Thursday evening they delightfully entertained a number of young friends when cards were played and refreshments served. They were driven to the beach on Sunday by Mr. and Mrs. Yungbluth and returned to their home with their parents. She also alleges that the association marketed fruits grown by persons who were not stockholders to the exclusion of her own crops. Mrs. King also asserts that she sought information of a representative of the association in Placentia as to how she might withdraw from the organization but could get nothing tangible on this matter. She claims that she gave written notice of her withdrawal from the association November 5, 1919, and understood that the issue had been settled satisfactorily. According to the plaintiff association, the terms of the contract specifically state that members may withdraw during the month of October only and that unless they do withdraw in that month they are considered as still being affiliated with the association. This rule is alleged to be written into the "grower's contract" which also provides for liquidated damages of 50 cents a box for each standard box of fruit sold through any agency other than the association. S. Harrison Thompson, who is now hailed as the world's greatest all-around amateur athlete through his performance Monday in winning the all around championship at Pasadena, was a member of the Fullerton grammar school faculty during the past year. The honor that has come to him is not exactly new, as he turned the same trick back in 1919, when representing Princeton university, his score at that time being 6105. In Monday's performance he broke the former world's record held by his older brother, Fred Thompson. Peddler who has the reputation of having openly sold booze for years and the capture of a Mexican and the confiscation of a stock of assorted calamity water being dispensed in the classic precincts of Lincoln street, a suburb of the city some times known as Sonoratown, and this aggregation was dealt with at what is freely characterized as a drum-head court presided over by the city recorder, who accepted a plea of guilty as charged from all concerned and assessed fines aggregating some nine hundred dollars with the alternative of jail sentences where the money was not forthcoming. Incidentally it develops on the testimony of certain of the victims that they were induced to plead guilty on the assurance that the Los Angeles detective was a federal officer and that the shortest way out of the difficulty was to fess right up, the alternative being to be handed over to Uncle Sam for direct action on their cases. Also, incidentally, one of the victims caught in the raid is a woman residing temporarily at Balboa, who was found in the house occupied by the colored trio when the officers swooped down on that haven of rest, her identity being further established under the name of "Cecille Brunner," as shown by the police blotter, and while a rose by any other name may smell as sweet, this particular bud vehemently protested her innocence of evil intent, although she pleaded guilty when arrested and paid a fine of fifty dollars, and has retained a lawyer, Attorney Daniel Noland, of Los Angeles, to compel the Santa Ana city council to refund to her the amount of the fine. An additional incident is the case of the Indian fish-peddler, who was fined three hundred dollars, but who was only able to scrape up one-third off- COSTLY SANTA ANA PAY FINDS LITTLE PIRS UP BIG KE Private Detective to State Police, Which Chief Jernigan—Clean Bill, Sieuth Negroas, a Mexican and Charges City and Some Odd Dollar amount so-called vice which, according to the affair City man played the star an inside story is said of the police de- head of the Santa Ana now doing the act in dodging re- near sensation. Rumor, that, so far said, the Santa Ana suggestion of its professional de- that sum, and who was allowed his liberty under a gentleman's agreement that he pay the balance in fifty dollar monthly installments. Incident number four came in the way of a well written story of the raid based on alleged fact furnished by City Marshal Jernigan, who so far overcame his characteristic coyness as to claim credit for the whole performance, and incident number five followed quickly in a vehement protest from Mayor Mitchell, who repudiated Jernigan and all his works, asserting that he and he alone had engineered the vice crusade and to him properly belonged the credit. The newspaper that published Jernigan's story elected to stand pat, however, and although Mayor Mitchell is said to have stormed and threatened he evidently decided that discretion was the better part of valor and concluded to withdraw from the wordy encounter. The mayor's attitude, however, convinced Jernigan that someone one had intended to convert him into a large, woolly Angora and subsequent investigation is said to have fixed firmly in his mind the belief that he was to have been slaughtered to make a councilman holiday. And so war is said to have been declared with both sides digging in, with the prospect of active hostilities being resumed just as soon as favorable opportunity offers. And in the meantime the Los Angeles Number 36 SIGNS CONTRACT FOR FINE NEW BUILDING SAMUEL KRAEMER TO BUILD THE FINEST GARAGE IN ORANGE COUNTY William Goodrum Garage on South Los Angeles Street to be Replaced by a Splendid Building, Costing $30,000—Dimensions 65x154 Feet—Reported That Mr. Kraemer Also Intends Construction of Business Block on East Center. That Anaheim realty is a safe investment, and that the city is bound to continue its upward strides, appears to be the opinion of Samuel Kraemer, the millionaire citrus grower and oil magnate. Several years ago Mr. Kraemer made his first purchase here, and the last year or two he has made heavy purchases, and, it seems, he is determined to cover his grounds with substantial and beautiful buildings.

And in the meantime the Los Angeles sleuth has collected a bill for something less than one thousand dollars for professional services in assisting to suppress vice and the city stands a chance of being compelled to pungle up the amount of the fines collected on the ground that the evidence adduced was obtained by false pretense and intimidation. FALKENSTEIN PURCHASES GRAND THEATRE BUIDLING Merchant Thinks East Center Street Property Good Investment The Grand theatre building on East Center street, is now the property of William Falkenstein. A deal was completed Tuesday by which the property passed from the hands of H. C. Suttle of Los Angeles, to Mr. Falkenstein, the Simpson Realty Co. making the deal. The price is not given. The property has a frontage of 100 feet on Center street and a depth of 135 feet. In addition to the theatre, which is under a long lease, there are two store rooms on the ground floor, one occupied by the Anaheim Beauty parlor and the other by the Austin Music Co. The Majestic apartments utilize the entire second story. What Mr. Falkenstein expects to do with the building eventually is not known. It was offered to him at what he considered was a bargain and he purchased it as an investment. He has unlimited faith in Anaheim's future, and considering the contemplated improvements on East Center street, thinks that is a desirable portion of the city in which to invest. E. E. SMITH WEDDED TO LOS ANGELES GIRL United in Marriage Monday to Miss Leta Atkinson of the Angel City E. E. Smith's numerous friends here have generally considered him a confirmed bachelor therefore it was some- to continue its upward strides, appears to be the opinion of Samuel Kraemer, the millionaire citrus grower and oil magnate. Several years ago Mr. Kraemer made his first purchase here, and the last year or two he has made heavy purchases, and, it seems, he is determined to cover his grounds with substantial and beautiful buildings. Saturday he signed a contract with Wilson and Beaver for the construction of what, it is claimed, will be the finest garage building in Orange county. This building will be erected on South Los Angeles street, just south of the First National bank, and directly opposite the fine new building now in course of construction by Mr. Kraemer, south of the Dreyfus building. It will cover the site of the garage building now occupied by William Goodrum, also vacant lot adjoining it. These properties were recently acquired by Mr. Kraemer. The new building will have a 65-foot frontage on Los Angeles street, and a depth of 154 feet, and will be occupied by Mr. Goodrum when completed. The show-room will be forty by sixty-five feet, with tile floor and marble base-boards. The exterior walls will be of hollow tile, with the exception of the front, which will be of brick. The plans were drawn by Architect Eugene Durfee. The cost of the building will be in the neighborhood of $30,000. Mr. Kraemer also contemplates building a business block on property he recently purchased east of the old city-hall, it is reported. What he expects to do with the old Ford garage property at the corner of Cypress and Los Angeles streets, which he acquired a short time ago, is not yet known, but it is believed it is his intention to cover it with a business building. QUIET BUT PRETTY IS WEDDING AT PLACENTIA A quiet but pretty wedding took place Wednesday night at 7:30 at the home of Rev. E. H. Roades, at Placentia, when his son, Albert Roades took for his bride, Miss Madeline Siefken, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Girard Siefken, of Anaheim. The house was beautifully decorated with Shasta daisies and carnations. The bride was charmingly gowned in a dress of blue charmeuse with blue embroidered overskirt and a veil of white net She was attended by her sister, Miss Ida Siefken, who wore a E. E. Smith WEDDED TO LOS ANGELES GIRL United in Marriage Monday to Miss Leta Atkinson of the Angel City E. E. Smith's numerous friends here have generally considered him a confirmed bachelor, therefore it was something of a surprise to them when they learned of his marriage at Los Angeles Monday. Mr. Smith's bride is a Los Angeles girl, Miss Leta Atkinson, and the marriage took place at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Atkinson, at 1903 South Harvard boulevard. Rev. Daniel Trundell, pastor of the Alvarado Christian church performed the ceremony, about fifty relatives and friends being present. Mr. and Mrs. Adolf Thomas, of this city, were among the guests. Mr. Smith has lived in Anaheim for a number of years, and has a long list of warm friends here, all of whom will extend congratulations and good wishes. He is cashier of the Golden State National bank, and is one of the most prominent young business men of the city. His bride has been engaged in departmental work in the Los Angeles schools. She is a highly educated and accomplished young lady, and will receive a hearty welcome here from her husbands' many friends. After spending two or three weeks on a honeymoon trip the young couple will settle down at their home on Illinois street. What's become of the old-fashioned young widow who wore mourning for several years? The home of Rev. E. H. Roades, at Placentia, when his son, Albert Roades took for his bride, Miss Madeline Slefken, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Girard Slefken, of Anaheim. The house was beautifully decorated with Shasta daisies and carnations. The bride was charmingly gowned in a dress of blue charmeuse with blue embroidered overskirt and a veil of white net. She was attended by her sister, Miss Ida Slefken, who wore a dress of lavender crepe de chene. Both carried bouquets of carnations and ferns. The best man was the groom's brother, Mr. Lester Roades. The single ring ceremony was performed by the father of the groom, Rev. E. H. Roades. The ring was of white gold and engraved with orange blossoms. After the ceremony light refreshments were served. Friends and relatives present were: Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Heard and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Roades and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Heard and son, Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Roades and sons, Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Slate and son, Mr. and Mrs. G. Clodt, Mr. and Mrs. Evan Pugh and baby, Mrs. Jessie Newkirk, Mr. and Mrs. L. Heard and daughters, Messrs. Lester Roades, Noble Slate, Irvin Roades, Misses Alma Clodt, Ida Slefken and Ethel Dunham. The young couple left immediately on a short honeymoon at Venice and upon their return will make their home in Placentia—Courler. Mr. and Mrs. Elcholtz, of the Boston bakery, are sojourning at Catalina and will return home next week. They also visited in San Bernardino, where Mr. Elcholtz conducts one of the leading bakeries in that city.
