IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper 60 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK The festival on Thursday evening last was a decided success. The singing was most excellent and evinced careful preparation. All who attended enjoyed a musical treat such as is seldom offered in our little city. The song of the ship, "Three Bells," was especially fine. The pathetic tale of "Grafting Him Into the Army," was finely rendered in character song by Mrs. A. S. Hawkins and was heartily applauded. The tableau, "Goddess of Liberty," by Neilie Kuchel, was very pretty and generally admired. The comic scene of "Woman's Rights," was laughable. The refreshments were seasonably furnished and at a reasonable rate. Altogether the affair reflects much credit upon those who participated and was highly satisfactory to the audience. Mr. Bremmerman has authorized us to say that the roof of his new hotel building will be on by tonight and he extends a cordial invitation to the public to meet him then there commemorate the occasion with a little good cheer. The fire alarm bell has been removed from its original location to the lot east of Enterprise hall. We find an item in the San Diego Union concerning our former fellow 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK Gus Hansen was in from Orange-thorpe one day last week with a brand new McKinley button in the lapel of his coat. Mr. Hansen has one of those emblems attached to every coat, so that if he should make a change of vestments, the little button will be ever present and he will not come into town without the proper decoration. Mrs. Cross, mother of Mrs. Lane, superintendent of the telegraph, is here for a visit and is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Napoleon Hart. John T. Hanna, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Hanna, of Miraflores, was married at Val Verde, Riverside county, on Wednesday last, to Miss Alice E. Lee, of Riverside. The happy couple are now at their home at Miraflores. Count Bozenta was in town last week the guest of Mrs. Langenberger, who has been a life long friend of his wife, Madam Modjeska. The Madam is now in San Francisco, and the count informs us she is improving and will probably be soon quite restored to health again. Pierre Nicolas' home in Orange-thorpe, was the scene of a joyous gathering on Sunday evening, when his charming daughters entertained a number of their friends at cards and The fire alarm bell has been removed from its original location to the lot east of Enterprise hall. We find an item in the San Diego Union concerning our former fellow citizen, Ed Polhemus. Mr. Polhemus has been shipping wool to San Francisco, having gotten about $0 bales at the last shearing. Notice—To the Patrons and friends of the Anaheim Gazette: I have this day sold the Anaheim Gazette, news paper and job printing office to Mr. Chas. A. Gardner, who will hereafter conduct the same. All debts due the office are payable to him—George W. Barter. To My Friends: As will be seen by the above announcement, I have bought the Gazette and am now its sole owner, editor and manager. As such and as a citizen of Anaheim, whose interests are all centered here, I shall use the paper to advance in every possible way the section of country it represents. I regard the portion of Los Angeles county south of the San Gabriel river as the field of a local journal, and that field I shall, to the best of my ability, write up, advertise and make known to the world. On the question of county division, I am as is well known, in favor of it, believing it is best for our local interests to have our own local county government. As to politics, I am personally a Democrat, but shall devote these columns to a complete showing of our local business interests rather than to political discussion. In conclusion, I would respectfully solicit your co-operation and support and ask a continuance of that liberal patronage which the Gazette now enjoys.—Chas. A. Gardner. Adieu, friends and patrons of the Anaheim Gazette. Our intercourse ends with one brief year—a season filled with active scenes and very many pleasant incidents. My attachment for you, and association with you all could only be severed by what has now occurred, namely, an opportunity for a wider scope and broader field of action.

Pierre Nicolas' home in Orange-thorpe, was the scene of a joyous gathering on Sunday evening, when his charming daughters entertained a number of their friends at cards and music. Will Lawrence came down from Alhambra on Tuesday evening and yesterday reported for duty at the new station at Alamitos. Mr. Weisel left on Tuesday for a short trip to San Francisco. He will be absent a week or so, but will return in time to vote on election day. Ed Nethaus, of Berkeley, who is a son-in-law of H. Werder, of this city, is in town on a short visit to relatives. Mrs. Josephine Butler, of Los Angeles, visited with Mrs. Browning at her home near Brookhurst, during the week. Rev. Stone, of the Presbyterian church, was called to San Francisco last week and there was no preaching in that church last Sabbath. Tom Reed Day (next Tuesday) will probably be the biggest political event ever witnessed in southern California. Mr. Reed will speak in Los Angeles on that day, but the demonstration will be participated in by delegations from the entire southern part of the state. The Fullerton McKinley club will go up with the Fullerton band and the Orange McKinley club will also be on hand with the Orange band, as well as the Santa Ana club. It is proposed that the Anaheim McKinleyites join the procession and make the Orange county turnout as conspicuous a feature of the day as possible.

My new field of labor, however, is not far removed and I still hope to keep in communication with many of you through the columns of the Los Angeles Star. You have in this learned something of the quality of the pen of my successor, and be assured that he will always wield its power for your good. Under his management the Gazette cannot but improve and flourish. Give him your active support and believe me, he will deserve it to the fullest extent. Geo. W. Barter. Those irreprehensible firemen are always doing things to make business our item department. On Sunday last at 3 o'clock p.m. they turned out in force and in full uniform, resplendent in the glory of red shirts and bright belt buckles, they rehearsed what they would do in case of a fire. They planted bullders against buildings and they clipped like squirrels over every man house-top. They dragged up the hope of a dozen roofs that were as innocent of combustion as the north pole. Osler improved the opportunity of making a burlesque presentation to the company of a speaking trumpet, upon which a few appropriate remarks were made to a horn. The company presented a really fine appearance and went through the evolutions with rapidity and skill. Miss Cora Lewis will start a dancing class at the opera house on Monday evening. Our free silver friend, Jos. Des Granges, who is one of the foremost leaders of the Popocratic campaign hereabout, finds that his name is not upon the register, although he declares he was registered at the water works by Deputy Assessor Jennings. Amos cannot recall the circumstances and it looks as if Bryan will lose at least one vote in this neck of the woods. The first carload of new crop oranges to be shipped east from southern California this season was sent out Monday by the Fay Fruit company over the Santa Fe. The fruit is of the budded seedling variety, was grown in Cahuenga valley. This is the first carload shipment of the new crop of oranges from California this season. The shipment is a month earlier than the first shipment last season, which was on November 21. At the recent meeting of the stockholders of the Golden Belt Fruit company at Fullerton the following directors were chosen: W. F. Botsford, F. W. Phelps, L. B. Benchley, E. K. Benchley, Wm. Crowther and W. M. McFadden. The opening ball given by the "400" was a sociable success, about thirty couples participating. Mayor Klokke has been elected president of the Walnut Growers' association at Fullerton. A. McDermont has been elected vice-president and Chet Holcomb secretary.

That sixty days at the most will see the establishment in Orange county of an entomologist at work to establish scale control in Orange county groves, was the opinion expressed by fruit growers all over the county who attended the fruit growers' conference at Fullerton last week. Between thirty and forty growers from all sections of the county were present at the conference, which was held at the Placentia packing house, with Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg presiding. J. H. Lang, of Fullerton, was appointed chairman and called for reports on aphicus control from various citrus growers who had liberated aphicus in their groves with wonderful results. Following these reports and the discovery that those present were unanimous in their sentiment that county insectaries should be established, a committee was appointed to work out the problems of establishment with full power to act on any conclusions reached. This committee, composed of C. E. Utt, Tustin, chairman, and C. L. Crumrine, La Habra, secretary; D. Eyman Huff, Orange; Dr. I. G. McBeth, manager of the Bastanchury ranch; William Berkenstock, Placentia; Willard Smith, Villa Park; C. V. Newman, of the San Joaquin Fruit exchange, and S. C. Hartranft, Fullerton, went into session immediately after the general meeting. At that conference the plan suggested for financing the proposition to establish an insectary and for employing one well-qualified entomologist to have full power in the county, was that each box of fruit shipped in the season should be assessed one cent. FRUIT GROWERS' AND FARMERS' MEETING State Convention to Be Held in Los Angeles Oct. 24-26 Announcement is made by Geo. H. Hecke, director of the state department of agriculture, that all plans have been perfected for the fifty-fourth annual convention of the California fruit growers and farmers, which will be held in the auditorium of the state exposition building. Exposition park, Los Angeles, October 24-26, inclusive. This convention will undoubtedly be the means of bringing together the largest attendance of individual fruit growers and farmers, of any similar endeavor in the state of California, as this state being the pioneer in the cooperative movement, as well as being foremost in production and shipment of citrus fruits and agricultural products, many questions intensely interesting will be discussed. The topic for the first day, the 24th, will be problems confronting the cooperative marketing movement discussed by the leading authorities in the United States on this subject, including such men as C. C. Teague, president of the California Fruit Growers' exchange, and the California Walnut Growers' association; R. N. Wilson, secretary of the agricultural legislative committee; George H. Pierce, of the California Almond Growers' exchange; Judge Willis I. Morrison, of Los Angeles; Colonel Harrison Weinstock, former state market director; Frank T. Swett, of the California Pear Growers; F. H. Wilson, of the California Peach and Fig Growers; J. M. Henderson, Jr., of the California Central Creameries; H. C. Dunlap, of the Prune and Apricot Growers, and W. H. Walker, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation. The second day's program will deal with careful man thinks of his "gas" before he starts to drive. Also he considers his "gas" before he starts to talk. If you can't be original in your conversation you can at least be silent—and that would be original. NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT Anaheim Union Water Company, location of principal place of business, 303 E. Center Street, Anaheim, California. Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the Board of Directors, held on the 1st day of October, 1921, assessment No. 58 of $5 per share was levied on the capital stock of the corporation payable at once to the Secretary of the Company, at Anaheim, Orange County, California.

V. Newman, of the San Joaquin Fruit exchange, and S. C. Hartranft, Fullerton, went into session immediately after the general meeting. At that conference the plan suggested for financing the proposition to establish an insectary and for employing one well-qualified entomologist to have full power in the county, was that each box of fruit shipped in the season should be assessed one cent, which, based on the assumption that an average citrus crop would equal that of last year, when 4,000,000 boxes of fruit were shipped, would yield the sum of $40,000 to carry on the year's operations. Figures were given proving that $50,000 was spent last year in fumigating alone, with an equal amount spent in overcoming the damages resulting from fumigation. These figures were a great factor in deciding the growers and shippers unanimously to apropove the proposed plan. Some asserted that they would welcome an increased assessment in order to get the project launched. The experience of the Limoneria ranch, Ventura county, was described. There the black scale has been under control for two years by means of aphicus and the entire expense had been $7000 as opposed to $15,000 yearly for fumigating. These groves are now commercially clean. The Santa Paula Fruit association established insectaries a year later by the one cent a box assessment plan, and is finding the venture a success. If the same plan is put into effect in Orange county, it was stated, the assessment plan would be presented to the independent growers and speculative buyers as well, with a view to interesting them and the growers they represent. The committee has the names of four able men under consideration for the place as entomologist, and members are pursuing investigations of these, with a view to reporting at the next committee meeting to be called by the chairman. It is the intention to employ the best man available in the country, one whose technical knowledge and business ability have been tested, and he will have entire control of the situation in the county. A comprehensive report of all that has been done, together with the needs of the county and the necessity for prompt action, will be submitted to the growers and the general public in the near future, after which definite Growers' exchange; Judge Willis L. Morrison, of Los Angeles; Colonel Harrison Weinstock, former state market director; Frank T. Swett, of the California Pear Growers; F. H. Wilson, of the California Peach and Fig Growers; J. M. Henderson Jr., of the California Central Creameries; H. C. Dunlap, of the Prune and Apricot Growers, and W. H. Walker, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation. The second day's program will deal with the present status of the water transportation situation, involving relief from the disastrous high freight rates to eastern markets, discussed by F. W. Whitcomb, of the Cauliflower Fruit Growers' exchange, and in the afternoon, the break-down in the machinery of distribution for agricultural crops during the past season, together with an analysis of the reasons for the disastrous failure as well as suggestions for remedying the situation, discussed by G. Harold Powell, of the California Fruit Growers' exchange. Wednesday, the 26th, has a popular program from fruit growers and investigators, touching on two of the most timely problems of California fruit growing, the reasons for the decline of old orchards, and pruning practice. The old orchard problem, both citrus and deciduous, will be presented by outstanding successful growers—F. B. McKeavitt, for deciduous, and C. C. Chapman, for citrus, the discussion led by Dr. J. C. Whitten, of the college of agriculture, for citrus. The pruning question will be presented by Dr. Whitten, dean of American pomologists,and discussed by Geo. P. Weldon, of Chaffey junior college of agriculture. Dean Thos. F. Hunt will deliver an economic analysis of farming under California conditions,a discussion of the utmost importance in the present period of high production costs. Tuesday evening, the 25th,the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce will tender a banquet to the several guests of honor, including Governor Wm. D. Stephens and Secretary of Agriculture Henry C. Wallace, who is expected to be present for the convention. PREVENTION OF FIRES It should be as needless to stress the importance of preventing fires as it should be needless to emphasize the goodness of the Golden Rule. But ministers of the gospel today must preach and exhort observance of the necessary vouchers within four months after the first publication of this notice to said Executor at the office of Wm. P. Webb, Jr., Suite 4, Odd Fellows' building,Anaheim,California,which said officethe undersigned selects as his placeof businessinall matters connectedwith said estateof next committee meeting to be called by the chairman. It is the intention to employ the best man available in the country, one whose technical knowledge and business ability have been tested, and he will have entire control of the situation in the county. A comprehensive report of all that has been done, together with the needs of the county and the necessity for prompt action, will be submitted to the growers and the general public in the near future, after which definite steps will be taken at once, unless some unforeseen difference in opinion arises among the growers' associations. That this is unlikely, is the opinion of D. Eyman ruff, committee-man, who declared that Orange county fruit growers' associations and all citrus growers were a single unit in favoring the proposed plan. COLD STORAGE It is a solid fact that a man should never apologize to a woman. Apologies, instead of softening women, harden them in their self-righteous conceit. An old woman lay dying. Her husband, kneeling at the bedside, said brokenly: "My love, all the harsh and unkind words I have ever used to you I now take back." At this the old woman's brow darkened and in her weak voice she said: "No, you don't. I know you. You want to use them all over again in case I get well."—Boston Globe. That hare and the tortoise story has had a bad effect on humanity. It is the only time that a turtle ever won a race and it will be the last; and besides, it didn't win that one because there wasn't any such race. PREVENTION OF FIRES It should be as needless to stress the importance of preventing fires as it should be needless to emphasize the goodness of the Golden Rule. But ministers of the gospel today must preach and exhort observance of the Golden Rule, as expounders of the Scriptures have ben doing for centuries. So it is with prevention of fires. Everybody knows—if everybody would think—that fire prevention is tremendously important. And yet so careless and so thoughtless are the masses, a special occasion each year is designated as "Fire Prevention Day." The date is October 9, anniversary of the great Chicago fire, which entailed losses of tens of millions of dollars. The purpose is to get people to think—if they think, they probably will be duly cautious with fire. So many think on these things when it is too late—after the mischief has been done. But the lesson of "Fire Prevention Day," is, to inspire the people to think first and then—be careful. Those who are habitually thoughtful and who act with deliberation, seldom do anything to endanger their own life or property, or the life or property of others. Think on this subject of fire prevention—think earnestly and practically. Think about what you, individually, can do to help on this good work. Having thought it out—act! Do your part toward minimizing the quarter of a billion dollars' annual losses in preventable fires.
