IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK Roost high little chickens; and go for the top-most bough ye everlasting turkey. For the time approacheth when the sons of men are wont to lay violent hands upon all things eatable; from the sucking pig even unto the fatted calf shall the dread lords of creation gather every digestable thing into his capacious maw. Then shall no goose hang so high in the land but he shall be brought unto the slaughter. No tender falling guarded so jealously but his luckless carcass he dragged forth to swell the gastronomic triumph. Thanksgiving day, Thursday, November 30, 1871.

Hardin died at his residence on Thursday morning last at half past 11 o'clock. He had been ill for nine months and passed away peacefully as though falling into slumber. Dr. Hardin had many friends in this community. He came to Anaheim with his family in 1868 and engaged in the active practice of his profession, that of physician and surgeon. He was a native of Virginia and was born September 26, 1826. The funeral occurred on Friday afternoon under the auspices of the Masonic lodge. The pall bearers were Wm. M. McFadden, J. K. Tuffree, Sydney Holman and Wm. Crowther. John Pfeninger, of Fullerton, met with a painful accident on Thursday while cutting wood on his mother's place.

The exhibition of the New York mammoth circus was well attended here on Saturday last and was an excellent performance. A meeting was held on Monday evening at Justice Davis' office to elect delegates to represent Anaheim in the railroad convention to be held here today. S. J. Davis was named chairman and Chas. A. Gardner secretary. Judge Davis stated the object of the meeting and John Fischer, Max Stroble and Wm. R. Olden were elected as delegates. It was the general sense of the meeting that all were opposed to the giving of a subsidy to any company. Mr. Fischer expects to occupy his new hotel in about a month. Another considerable shower of rain fell on Saturday causing all to look glad and feel hopeful of a wet season. Charles Wille has bought out the interest of his late partner, Mr. Rekenbel, in the coopering business and will conduct the same alone.

John Selinger, while riding near his father's ranch on Monday evening, was thrown from his horse and sustained the dislocation of his left shoulder. He was brought to Dr. Perdomo's and Drs.

Commonly known as Sears settlement, it is about 2 by 2 1/2 miles in extent, contains 14 families and 22 voters. Has an excellent public school with about 40 scholars. There are about 500 acres under cultivation. Some of the best crops in the county have been raised in the Bolsas. Tustin City—This flourishing town still continues to grow and thrive. Mr. Tustin informs us that he sold 13 town lots last week and donated 12 more to families settling there. Mr. Harris, of Petaluma is just building Rev. M. Leiby, from San Bernardino, moved into his new residence there this week. There are 7 houses now erected including the hotel and school house. The hotel built by Mr. T. M.

The defendant plead not guilty and the case was set for trial December 13th. Next Thursday is Thankgiving day. What is it, turkey or roast pig? Unless something is speedily accomplished in the way of raising funds by the Orange County Fair association, it is probable that the Santa Ana race track will have to be given up. Owing to the fact that the track is at the lower end of the circuit each year sees more of a falling off in revenue. This year the decrease was more noticeable than ever before and at present the outlook for a track is not bright. The street superintendent has recently put the street sprinklers upon a number of the side streets, to the great convenience of pedestrians. Henry Adams and Miss Kate Fall well known residents of Tustin, who have numerous acquaintances here, were married at that place yesterday.

During the past week, it is announced in a communication received from Mrs. Jessie Jordan, state superintendent of the society, more than a dozen boys and girls of varying ages have been given over to men and women who couldn't bear to pass another Christmas without kiddies in their homes. In some instances, it is stated, wives have planned to take babies from either the Oakland or Los Angeles homes as Christmas presents for their husbands. Prospective parents have searched through the available supply of babies for blonds, or brunettes. Frequently the anxious "mother" has wanted the baby's eyes to match her husband's or otherwise resemble the proud father. As the result of newspaper publicity throughout the state scores of requests for children of all ages have been received by the home society. These inquiries, Mrs. Jordan states, represents some of the best homes in California, where either the stork has failed to call or the unseen hand has made a vacancy which both mother and father are anxious to fill. The system of the society guards the child by making a thorough investigation of the family making the application and also follows up the placement to be sure the child is in suitable surroundings. Mrs. Jordan stated that many impetuous parents were disappointed by calling at one of the homes and expecting to carry away a child on the first call so that the motor vehicles, which are the foundation of the floats, may the more easily be controlled. In case of a dance morning the principal streets leading into Pasadena will also be sanded so that the thousands who drive to Pasadena may do so with the minimum of danger from skidding. No matter how large and long the pageant may be, it has never failed to move on time and it is probable that the starting schedule for the 1922 pageant will be 10:30 in the morning, which has been the usual time for starting in the past. This starting time gives the pageant about two hours to pass a given point and this, in turn, allows the spectators time in which to get luncheon and then get to the "east and west" football game after the parade is by. FREIGHT REDUCTIONS Reduction in freight rates which will include hundreds of articles moving in both directions between eastern points and the Pacific coast are announced by the Southern Pacific company. The reductions range as high as 50 per cent or more on some articles with an average of about 20 per cent, and is the largest and most important set of reductions announced by the Southern Pacific company since the general increase in freight rates granted the carriers in August, 1920. The reductions are the result of efforts of the carriers to lower freight rates on transcontinental movements which have been under consideration for some time according to Southern Pacific officials. These reductions have particular significance at this time as they indicate the policy of the roads to reduce freight rates as well as wages where the reductions can be made in the public interest. The Southern Pacific freight man state that the rates which have been glucose products, machinery, refrigerators, pitch, turpentine, rosin, glass, vehicles, furniture, paint, beverages, cash registers, coal canned goods, linoleum, drugs, and soap. The important eastbound articles include borax, vegetables, hops, kapoc, lumber, coffee, grape syrup, pickled fish, infusorial earth, feldspar, paper, flour and nuts. SAFETY SLOGANS Jazzy safety slogans to be scattered broadcast throughout the country wherever automobiles are owned and operated have just been drawn up by the recently established bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Suggestions for new slogans, with more "home brew kick" in them than the following, are asked for by auto club officials, so every motorist who has any ideas on-the-subject are asked to send them to the club at once. What do you suggest as the best slogan for a safety campaign in southern California? Think it over. Mr. Autoist, and then mail in your suggestion. Here are some which have been submitted and which are being considered as the king-pin ideas for the big campaign shortly to be launched by the club throughout the west: 1- The modern ABC is "Always be careful." 2- The chance taker is the accident maker. 3- A careful habit is the best bodyguard. 4- Don't kid about safety—you may be the goat! 5- The wife of a careless man is almost a widow. 6- Never put off till tomorrow what you can safely do today. 7- When hurry interferes with safety, cut out the hurry. 8- It is better to be careful a thous- failed to call or the unseen hand has made a vacancy which both mother and father are anxious to fill. The system of the society guards the child by making a thorough investigation of the family making the application and also follows up the placement to be sure the child is in suitable surroundings. Mrs. Jordan stated that many impetuous parents were disappointed by calling at one of the homes and expecting to carry away a child on the first call. The superintendent's annual report just released gives Los Angeles county the lead in this state in the number of children awarded to the society as well as placed in homes. Of a total of nearly 4000 little ones received and placed in homes since the society was founded, 1845 have come from Los Angeles county. In turn, 1511 children have been placed with foster parents living in that county. Alameda county is second on the list with 184 awards to the society and 144 placements. Fresno county has third place in the list, with 109 children received and 91 placed. San Diego county has given the society 80 children and is now the home of 91, while Orange county has contributed 51 children, but has supplied fosters parents for 238. The society operates a northern and southern California home—3491 Sixty-sixth avenue, Oakland, and 919 E. 25th street, Los Angeles. LEGION HOLD DRAWING Realizing its inability to refund all of the money paid by persons who took a chance on the Primer prize car, recently embezzled and driven to Salt Lake City, Santa Ana post of the American Legion has decided to hold a drawing in front of the legion home at 8:15 o'clock on November 25, at which time the person holding the 13th number drawn will be given an order on any automobile dealer in the county for the sum of $1250, representing the amount turned over to the post by the bank, which has held the money in escrow. At the time of the drawing the diamond ring, offered to the young woman who sold the most tickets on the automobile, will also be given away. Disinterested parties are to conduct the drawing. According to Maurice F. Enderle, commander of the local post of the legion, the Premier prize car, which is being held at Salt Lake City, whence it was driven by the Stern brothers. The Southern Pacific freight man state that the rates which have been decided upon from and to points east of the Mississippi river and Chicago cannot be made effective until the concurrence of the eastern lines is received. The rates decided upon to meet canal competition at Pacific coast ports will also have to be submitted to the interstate commerce commission for waivure of the long and short haul clause of the interstate commerce act before they can be made effective. The reductions from and to points west of Chicago and the Mississippi river will be made effective as soon as the tariffs can be published. Some of the important reductions for westbound articles included in the Southern Pacific announcement are dry goods, iron and steel, tin plate. The United States Steel corporation has made a cut of $7 in the price of steel rails, and they are now selling at $40 a ton. Last year the average price was $52.64. The railroads of the country need 2,000,000 tons of rails annually, so that the reduction means a saving to the roads of $14,000,000 each year. If every item of cost that enters into railroad operation could be similarly deflated, the difficulties of the roads would be largely overcome. At the time of the drawing the diamond ring, offered to the young woman who sold the most tickets on the automobile, will also be given away. Disinterested parties are to conduct the drawing. According to Maurice F. Enderle, commander of the local post of the league, the Premier prize car, which is being held at Salt Lake City, whence it was driven by the Stern brothers, may never be returned. Enderle said that the bank, which owns the car, and the insurance company, which insured it against loss and damage, are at odds over the disposition of the car and that there is no telling when the issue will be adjusted. PREPARING FOR GREAT PARADE More extensive preparations for the annual tournament of roses morning floral pageant, to be held this time on January 2 since January 1 is Sunday, are being made than for any parade in the more than third of a century history of the southern California event. On New Year's day, 1921, the attendance for the pageant was so much greater than on any previous occasion of the kind, that the executive committee of the association realized the necessity of enlarging its plans. As a result more cross streets in Pasadena will be roped off this year than ever before and more space will be provided for the thousands who will come from distances to witness the passing of the pageant. The Pasadena street department has designed and had constructed an automatic sanding machine to be used in case a morning fog should cause the pavement to be slippery. This machine spreads a thin coating of sand on the streets where the parade passes. The Fordson Tractor is taking much of the drudgery out of farm life; it is solving the labor problem; it is reducing the cost of preparing land by almost one half of what it was with horses; and it is saving one third to one half of the farmer's time; and making farm life more attractive. The Fordson will run your threshing machine—and at the most opportune time for you. It will operate the milking machines, saw your wood, fill your silo, pump the water, and take care of every kind of belt work— And don't forget—it will plow six to eight acres in a ten hour day, handling two plows with ease. Thus the Fordson is the ideal year-round tractor. It will pay for its fall and winter keep in many ways. There's a big story to tell you about the Fordson—and a true one—come in and get the facts. Or, if you prefer, telephone or drop us a card and we will bring them to you.
