SMALL CLAIMS COURT READY FOR BUSINESS Will Conduct Lawsuits in Which Lawyers are Barred The small claims court established by the last legislature, which will be conducted by justices of the peace, will be open for business on Friday, July 29. The purpose of the court is to enable a creditor to collect small debts without delay or expense. Attorneys are not to be allowed to appear for either the plaintiff or defendant and no fees are to be charged. Proceedings before the "Small Claims Court" are to be informal and no claim for money exceeding $50 in amount will be heard. The new law was originated by Assemblyman Rosenheine, of San Francisco. Through its passage seventeen new sections were added to the code of civil procedure. Methods of carrying out the work of the court were described by Justice Cox as follows: A creditor desiring to bring suit against anyone owing him money not exceeding $50 must appear before the court and make affidavit to the debt. In not less than five days nor more than 15, both creditor and debtor must appear in the small claims court. Both of the principals in the action must then present such evidence as they have and the judge makes whatever award he considers proper. Assigned claims or suits to recover goods will not be heard in the court. The defendant will have the right of appeal, but the plaintiff cannot appeal. Attorney's fees of $15 must be paid the plaintiff by the defendant in case the defendant appeals and loses in the higher court. Subpoenas are to be served by reg- cess of bread making should be scrupulously clean. All utensils, therefore, should be washed carefully; the liquids should be scalded; the dry materials should be kept from the dust; liquid yeast should be kept cold and well covered; the hands should be washed and the nails cleaned before they touch the dough. Wooden toothpicks, which can be used for cleaning the nails and then thrown away, are a covener part of the equipment for bread making. In making stiff dough out of the sponge, or out of the liquid containing yeast, the flour should be added gradually, and what is more important, the dough should be beaten thoroughly, or when it gets too stiff for this, kneaded, after each addition of flour. If this is not done, too much flour is likely to be added and this spoils the texture of the bread. The time to stop putting in flour is when the dough can be kneaded without sticking either to the hands or to the board, even when they are unfloured. If for any reason more flour than is needed is added, the dough should be softened again by means of water or milk. Beginners often have difficulty in determining when the dough is ready to be divided into loaves and put into the pans. A good rule is to measure its volume. When it is ready to be made into loaves, the dough for each loaf, if made out of hard-wheat flour, should amount to 3 pints; if made from soft flour, to about 2 1/2 pints. Recipe for two loaves of wheat bread— 2 cups lukewarm milk, water or a mixture of them. 1 cake compressed yeast or 1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk, water or mixture of them. 1-2 cup liquid yeast. 2 teaspoons salt. 2 tablespoon sugar. MRS. CAMPBELL TO FIGHT HER BATTLE ALONE Wealthy Daughter, Apparently, Will Not Assist Her Apparently assuming an attitude of indifference toward her approaching trial for the murder of her husband, Mrs. Mary Campbell, who is slated to come before the justice court for her preliminary examination August 3, is whiling away the hours by reading light fiction and magazines. Frequently she appears at the barred window of her cell and gazes out into the street. She has seen no one lately besides the jail matron. And, according to Mrs. B. A. Swanwick, deputy sheriff, she gets less mail than any other prisoner confined in the jail. Attorney Clyde Bishop stated that he has practically withdrawn as counsel for the defense. He said that neither Mrs. Campbell nor any of her relatives had come to terms with him and that he does not propose to act as her attorney without an understanding. It is rumored that Mrs. Campbell is not getting the financial support that was expected from her reputed millionaire son-in-law, A. G. Wilkes, oil promoter of San Francisco. Neither Wilkes nor his wife have come to Santa Ana to see her. Mrs. Swanwick says that Mrs. Campbell has not received more than two letters from San Francisco and that these came soon after her arrest, June 9. It is known, however, that Wilkes, her son-in-law, sent a representative here from the Bay city to interview Mrs. Campbell. Just what transpired between Mrs. Campbell and the visitor is a matter of conjecture. It is intimated that there are strained relations between the prisoner and her son-in-law and daughter, inasmuch as neither have shown enough concern over her situation to make a personal call. Recipe for two loaves of wheat bread— 2 cups lukewarm milk, water or a mixture of them. 1 cake compressed yeast or 1 1-2 cups lukewarm milk, water or mixture of them. 1-2 cup liquid yeast. 2 teaspoons salt. 2 tablespoons sugar. Fat, if used, 2 tablespoons or less. 6 cups, or 3 pints, sifter flour. Boil the water or scald the milk. Put the sugar and salt (and fat, if used) into a mixing bowl. Pour the hot liquid over it and allow it to become lukewarm. Mix the yeast with a little of the lukewarm liquid and add it to the rest of the liquid. If convenient, set this aside in a warm place, not over 86 degrees F., for one hour; if not convenient to set it aside, add the flour at once, putting in a little at a time and kneading until the dough is of such consistency that it sticks neither to the bowl nor to the hands. This requires about 10 minutes. Dough should be kept covered while it is rising, for otherwise a crust will form on top and interfere with the expansion. Some housekeepers brush the dough over with melted fat, but this is not necessary if the dough is well covered. Cover, and allow to rise 1 3-4 hours at a temperature of 86 degrees F.; it may be better to set it at a lower temperature the longer the time required for rising. Cut down the dough from the sides of the bowl; grease the hands slightly. Knead a little and set aside to risen again for one hour. With a good bread flour, the dough should treble its bulk in each rising. With a soft wheat flour, it should not rise much beyond twice its volume. Divide into portions, mold, and place in greased pans of standard size (1 1-2 quarts). Allow to rise until a light touch will make a slight dent. With good bread flour this happens when the dough reaches the top of the pans. Bake for 50 minutes. Bread can be made during the day by what is known as the "short sponge" method. All the ingredients are the same as for the "short or straight-dough" process, but only half of the flour is added at first. When this mixture, which is called a spongo, is so light that it will fall at the slightest touch, it is ready for the addition of the rest of the flour. "We were all 1918, said Flihir that came to us," "We were under machine guns, ing ourselves on running forward my squad. I hily by Fish; I'll carry my head around up on a stretch ried away.

YEAST BREAD DELICIOUS WHEN WELL MADE Cleanliness, Care and an Oven of Right Temperature Are Essentials in Good Bread Making A well-made loaf of bread is a source of satisfaction as long as it lasts. It burnt or pale loaf with a soggy texture for tempts none but the starving. The following directions for making yeast bread are given by food specialists in the United States department of agriculture. If the directions are followed carefully, a delicious loaf is the result. Everything connected with the process can be made during the day by what is known as the "short sponge" method. All the ingredients are the same as for the "short or straight-dough" process, but only half of the flour is added at first. When this mixture, which is called a sponge, is so light that it will fall at the slightest touch, it is ready for the addition of the rest of the flour. Use the same proportions as for the short process in overnight sponge method, except in the case of the yeast, which should be one-eighth cake of compressed yeast for each loaf. Use water rather than milk. In the evening mix the yeast with water, salt, and half of the flour, and beat thoroughly. Cover and place at a temperature of 65 degrees F., or that of an ordinary room. In the morning add the sugar and the rest of the flour and proceed as in the case of the short process. HIS BEQUEST A lawyer was known to be a bit grasping. He had just made out a will for an old lady client, who was passing away. The next day the old lady, very near the end, said to him: "About my will—I've added something to it. I've given—you——" "Just one minute, my good friend," said the lawyer, wishing to have witnesses for the remark. So he hurriedly called the family in, and when all were assembled he said to his client: "Now, say what you were going to say." "I've—given—you—and she stopped, her breathing becoming more and more labored." "Yes, yes," urged the lawyer. Then he finished: "—great—deal—of trouble!"—Laws' Home Journal. SANTA ANA HERO BURIED AT ARLINGTON Body of Stamey Elliott, Killed at Chauteau Thelry Brought to America The body of Stamey Elliott, who fell in the battle of Chauteau Thlerry, has arrived in New York, and, in accordance with the wishes of his mother, it will be placed in the national cemetery at Arlington, Va., there to rest with thousands of others of America's heroic dead. Word that the body had arrived from overseas came by wire to the mother, Mrs. Martha Elliott, 706 East Walnut street, Santa Ana. Stamey Elliott was one of the contingent of thirty-five Santa Ana men from Company L, 160th infantry, who went from Camp Kearney to France in June, 1918. Scattered to different companies, nearly every one of these men saw some of the hardest fighting in which Americans participated. They were in the front line continuously generally without the protection of artillery. Stamey was transferred to the 58th infantry and was a member of a squad of men headed by Jacob Fisher, of Santa Ana, who, later in the fighting, was awarded first a medalle militaire by the French government and later a distinguished service cross by the Americans. "We were advancing on August 7, 1918, said Fliher in telling of the end that came to his comrade, Stamey. "We were under direct fire of German machine guns, running forward, throwing ourselves on the ground, firing and running forward again. Stamey was in my squad. I heard him call out, 'Goodby,' Fish; I'll see you later!' I twisted my head around and saw him sitting up on a stretcher as he was being carried away. He waved his hand. I didn't think at that time he was badly A TALENTED COBBLER In the production of the Indian peace pageant Laguna, fortunate in many things, maintains her fortune in having a cobbler musician. Robert Messinger all his life a musician playing in the great symphony orchestras and bands of the world and still composing lovely melody and rich harmony as he works with last and awl, has undertaken successfully to complete the orchestration of original Indian melodies, which played by trained orchestra of music lovers and professionals, will accompany the vivid and brilliant action and color of Mr. Frazee's play. The very names chosen for the songs in the pageant are redolent of the play's beauties, of the inner harmonies of Indian life and song. The first on Messinger's list is called simply, "A Very Old Melody" and it is played on the lover's flute as is a later song called "The Love Call." Others have the sonorous titles of "The Thunderbird," "The Sky Will Resound," "The Warrior's Song," and "The Moccasin Game Song." Messinger says: "My melodies are all collected from volumes of the reports of 'The Bureau of American Ethnology,' printed at the government printing office in Washington. I took special care to keep strictly to the original melodies, harmonized them in different ways (with the exception of one melody of the Omaha tribe which was already harmonized by John C. Fillmore), arranged them together in such a way as to be presented in two different 'Preludes' which the performance of the pageant play necessitates. I have been promised some real Indian drums which will enable me to give original color to the orchestration. Other numbers of my own origin are 'Goblin Music' and 'Snake Music' and the last 'Prayer.' Our orchestration rehearsals" A SOUND INVESTMENT Effective July 25, the Southern Counties Gas company of California limited issue of $1,250,000 eight per cent cumulative preferred stock has been accepted for listing on the Los Angeles stock exchange and daily the stock is now being bid in on the floor. The gas company, at the time it was given authority by the state railroad commission to issue its present stock, made application on the Los Angeles stock exchange for listing its stock daily. The special three months pre-bailment period was waived in order that the stock might be listed by July 25th. The Southern Counties Gas company distributes natural gas in 43 cities in Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. It was organized in 1911 and in less than ten years has increased its gas output 4440 per cent. Last year its gross business amounted to $3,156,760. Today the tangible property is listed at $7,526,447. The stock is being sold locally by gas company employees of the Orange county district. CATALINA SLOWLY SINKING The claim recently advanced by Mexico to ownership of the islands off the coast of California has aroused interest in them to such an extent that the national geographic society has issued a bulletin about them. "California owes her off-shore to lands not to drifting sands as the southern sections of the Atlantic coast owe theirs," says the bulletin, "but to the fact that the state is the center of one of the most active regions geologically in the world in recent geological times. San Clemente, the southernmost of the islands, has risen from the sea, ac- "We were advancing on August 7, 1918, said Fliher in telling of the end that came to his comrade, Stamey. "We were under direct fire of German machine guns, running forward, throwing ourselves on the ground, firing and running forward again. Stamey was in my squad. I heard him call out, 'Goodby, Fish; I'll see you later!' I twisted my head around and saw him slitting up on a stretcher as he was being carried away. He waved his hand. I didn't think, at that time, he was badly wounded. I learned later, after his death, that he had six or eight machine-gun bullets through the abdomen." WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? A recent dispatch from London informs us that the British steamer, General Turner, has struck a mine and gone to the bottom. But the significant part of the report says that she was transporting grain and cattle from the Danube to Rotterdam. A glance at the map will show that the territory drained by the Danube is where the "starving millions" about whom we have heard so much are dragging out their weary existence. The great city of Vienna, about whose populace horrible tales of misery have been told, is located on the Danube. The city is a center of a thriving river commerce. Practically all of Austria, Hungary, Jugo-Slavia, and the other Balkan states are portions or the drainage basin of the Danube. American sympathy for their peoples has been aroused by heartrending stories and gruesome pictures of their sufferings, and many is the ship laden with American foodstuffs and many is the million of good American dollars that have gone across the water to alleviate their woes. If all the stories we have heard of the dreadful condition of people in Vienna and the country roundabout are true, can it be that it is not all due to war's aftermath, but has been intensified by profiteering on the part of Austrians who have been able to control the food supply? Whence come the grain and cattle that are being exported from the war-devastated regions of the Danube for sale in Rotterdam? Those are the very articles that our charities for Austria and the Balkan states have fallen into the hands of conscienceless natives of those territories, who have re-exported them to Holland for a profit? BEWARE OF THE KISSING BUG According to reports emanating from Antelope valley by "grapevine," "kissing bugs" there are sitting tight and awaiting an opportunity to sting unsuspecting victims. Three Lancaster men are known to have felt their poison stings. One was bitten on the neck and the swelling that followed made it impossible for him to wear even a sport shirt. Two others were bitten on their hands and both suffered intensely with the swelling incident to the sting. County Horticultural Commissioner E. L. Morris says that the woods is full of kissing bugs, but he seldom hears of any one being stung by one of these insects. They are not only in the Antelope valley, but everywhere, he says. "This bug is predacious in habit," said Morris. "It feeds upon many kinds of soft bodied insects and other animals. The bugs vary greatly in size, but are mostly medium or quite large. The legs are long, the front pair especially. It is with their front legs that they grasp their prey. "The head is very small and the antennae are three jointed. The beak is short, stout, usually curved, three jointed and very sharp. Because of its preaceous habits, the bug is considered beneficial. It has been known to bite people frequently and its bite is worse than the sting of a bee or wasp. It is sometimes known as the pirate bug, sometimes as the China bedbug and sometimes as the bedbug hunter. It has a number of other nicknames." PRODUCE SHIPMENTS ARE ALMOST DOUBLE Carload shipments of fruits and vegetables this season up to July 2 have been nearly twice as great as they were during the corresponding period last season, despite the increase in freight rates, according to statistics just published in the Market Reporter, official publication of the department of agriculture. So far this season, according to that publication, car load shipments have totaled 598,524, compared with 315,597 during the corresponding period last year. Tabulations by states as to carload shipments up to June 4 show that of thirteen fruits and vegetables, decreases occurred in only two while increases were reported in eleven. LEASED SCHOOL GROUND E.

There has been a mercenary spirit on the part of Europeans that has attended all of America's efforts to aid old world reconstruction. Great Britain did not scruple to lend millions of dollars to Argentina in furtherance of her own trade ambitions, while she owned the United States almost four and a half billions. There has been little genuine co-operation on the part of European countries to aid America in the distribution of food and other supplies. France, Poland, and other states have been quick to take over the surplus supplies of our overseas army, but have not paid a dollar for them or a penny of interest on their debts incurred by the transaction. And now we get a hint as to what is taking place in the worst affliction part of Europe. Until the authorities in those countries show some inclination to assist in getting food to the people who need it, and in keeping it out of the hands of shameless profiteers, the United States is not likely to listen to any more pitiful appeals from that part of Europe. $7000.00 to estate L.

ANAHEIM TESTIMONY Home Proof, Here, There and Everywhere. When you see Doan's Kidney Pills recommended in this paper you must always find the recommender an Anaheim resident. It's the same everywhere—in 3,800 towns in the U. S. Fifty thousand people publicly thank Doan's. What other kidney remedy can give this proof of merit, honesty and truth? Home testimony must be true or it could not be published here. Read this Anaheim recommendation. Then insist on having Doan's. You will know what you are getting: A. C. Housley, 215 S. Kroeger St., says: "I have used Doan's Kidney Pills off and on for the past ten years. I had attacks of backache that made it hard for me to keep going. Mornings I was lame and stiff and when I stopped over, I had sharp, quick catches and could hardly straighten up. My kidneys were irregular in action, too. Doan's Kidney Pills had always relieved this attacks and rid me of the aches and pains." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Housley had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.Y. Tight lips generally are the sign of a closed heart. LEASED SCHOOL GROUND E. H. Metcalf and George W. Sloop, members of the board of trustees of the Anaheim grammar school, came to Fullerton last night to submit to the city trustees a proposition involving the rental of a portion of the land on which the Fullerton pumping plant is located, to be used as a site for a four-room school building, says the Tribune. According to their statement, the Anaheim board has in mind the building of a small school house in the north edge of the city for the accommodation of the children of that section, and has had difficulty in securing a suitable location. The Fullerton land comes up to the Anaheim school district line at this point and a corner of it, cut off from the main body by a wash and containing a quarter acre, seems to meet the requirements of the situation. Their proposition was that if it were agreeable to the Fullerton trustees they would be glad to pay a reasonable rent for the use of the property for a term of years under such conditions as the trustees might impose, planning the $6000 building in such a manner that it could be moved off at need. The local board saw no objections to the plan and readily agreed to enter into such an agreement, the amount of the annual rent being fixed by agreement at $50. The city engineer was instructed to run the lines and fix the boundaries and the city attorney was directed to prepare the necessary lease, to run for 10 years, with a reservation to terminate the lease at need on giving a year's notice of intention to do so. Life is too short for most of the long speeches.

MILLER, Prop. 116 East Center Street, Anaheim CORPORATE CONTROL OF POWER OPPOSED Municipalities League Wants Resources of Colorado River Protected The southern branch of the California League of Municipalities has gone on record as opposed to private corporate interests securing control of the power resources of the Colorado river, following a meeting held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms at Pasadena Friday afternoon. Among the southern California cities represented were Los Angeles, Long Beach, Riverside, Alhambra, Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Bernardino, Covina, Anaheim, Redlands and Santa Monica. The orchard represents forty-five cities, it was declared in resolutions. Rorace Porter, mayor of Riverside, presided. Resolutions were adopted declaring in favor of development of the power resources of the river by the federal government, with the state of California and its various subdivisions, including cities, towns and county districts, as partners in the costs and benefits, and exclusion of private corporate interests. One set of resolutions expressed confidence in the aims of the city of Los Angeles. ON THE JOB We notice that many newspaper writers seem to take delight in recalling the fact that the new chairman of the Republican national committee started working for the company of which he is now the head, at a wage of $3 per week. That is interesting and worth telling to the young people of the country. But it wasn't a $3-a-week beginning that enabled him to get to the head of a large manufacturing concern. It is a safe bet that he never began to watch the clock an hour before quitting time, that he didn't leave any of his work for someone else to do, and that he was always ready to take on a little more responsibility whenever the boss picked him out for a bigger job. A good many men have tried but have failed to see through the bathing suit menace. You can't keep a stiff upper lip if you have a weak backbone.

Resolutions were adopted declaring in favor of development of the power resources of the river by the federal government, with the state of California and its various subdivisions, including cities, towns and county districts, as partners in the costs and benefits, and exclusion of private corporate interests. One set of resolutions expressed confidence in the aims of the city of Los Angeles in acquiring rights on the river for the development of water power for generating electricity. Another resolution urges that "all cities (of the group) form districts to file on the Colorado river power in order to protect the resources of the river for the resource of the people." The concluding stress of these resolutions is: "Resolved: That we urge such action by congress and the federal power commission as will exclude private interests from development of the Boulder canyon project and to permit immediate construction of such project by the federal government under such terms and conditions of participation by the state of California and any political subdivision of California and the southwest in costs and benefits as may be established." A LONG-DISTANCE VIEW A farm boy was standing on a high hill, looking the country over, when a tourist motoring by stopped for a chat. "You have a fine view from here, my lad. How far do you suppose you can see—to China?" "Much farther than that, Mister." "How's that?" "When that cloud goes away, I'll be able to see the sun very easily."—Judge.
