O. O. F., celebrated its 50th birthday Tuesday night. Visitors were in attendance from all the lodges in the county as well as Los Angeles and Long Beach. About 300 were present. The lodge was instituted January 23, 1872. Among the visitors was N. H. Mitchell, of Long Beach, the only one living of the nine charter members. Max Nebelung was also present, he being one of a class of 18 initiated into the lodge that evening. Both made interesting remarks on the early history of the lodge. The program consisted of opening remarks by the chairman of the meeting, several vocal and instrumental selections, a historical review of the history of the lodge taken from its records by the secretary, a farce initiation by 12 lodge members after which all adjourned to the dining room, where a sumptuous banquet was served. After the banquet dancing was indulged in until the "We Sma' Hours," all declaring themselves as having had a splendid time and voting the Odd Fellows royal entertainers. A very interesting feature of the Territorial expansion of the Anaheim school district to include a site for a new school building, is sought in a petition filed with County Clerk J. M. Backs by the Anaheim and Orange thorpe districts, providing for a change of boundary lines. The change proposed would take from the Orangethorpe district and add to the Anaheim district sufficient ground for the desired school site, according to an accompanying recommendation by R. P. Mitchell, county superintendent of schools. Further steps in the matrimonial tangles involving Harry C. Calkins and Guy Evans were taken in superior court Friday when informations, in connection with charges of non-support brought by their wives, were filed against them by Deputy District Attorney D. G. Wettlin. Mrs. Calkins has already secured a divorce from her husband, while the wife of Evans has a suit now pending in court. Wettlin also filed an information against T. E. Carpenter, charged with issuing a fraudulent check. The three defendants are scheduled to be arraigned before Judge R. Y. Williams Friday at 9 a.m. Declaring that spooning in automobiles must stop, Superior Judge R. P. Williams denied the probation application of Leonard E. Kelly, of Fullerton, and sentenced him to 90 days in the county jail. Kelly was convicted by a jury of failing to stop and render aid or give his name following an automobile collision. Testimony brought out at the trial was to the effect that Kelly was hugging a young woman riding with him at the time of the collision. "I do not think that probation should be granted in this case," said Judge Williams in pronouncing sentence. "Kelly admits that he has been arrested for being intoxicated since the automobile collision in Santa Ana, A fine of $90 by G. Gazzero, in the Santa Ana found guilty by three counts for laws. Gazzero did not procure the renease. ORDER Y In the Superior California of Orange In the Matter Percy A. change of Cause. The above-enheimer having January, 1922 titled court a name changed.

WEISER Attorney for 1-26-5t A very interesting feature of the program was a 50-pound birthday cake furnished by the Bake-Rite bakery. It was beautifully decorated in the colors of the order, having on its surface the date of institution and the three links. On its outer edge was a row of 50 candles, which were lighted and the room darkened just before the visitors were admitted, making a beautiful sight. The cake was cut by Oliver Hill, the oldest member of the lodge at the present time. The lodge was organized and its officers installed in the Masonic hall on the southwest corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, in what was called the Davis block and where the S. Q. R. store is now located. The lodge afterwards met in Enterprise hall on North Los Angeles street, which corner is now occupied by the Standard Oil company service station. In September, 1872, they built the two story brick building on the northeast corner of Los Angeles and Chartres streets, where they met for several years. This property they sold to the Masons about three years after they had built it. The Masons afterwards selling to Korn and Zeyn, whose heirs still own it. In 1906 the Odd Fellows erected the brick block on Center street, which they still own. They have a large membership, constantly adding new members and is in a prosperous and healthy condition, financially as well as socially. LOT FOR SALE—65r135 ft., cor.

We suggest that the Company purchase and maintain its own teams, thus effecting a large saving. NOTES PAYABLE We have recommended that the outstanding notes be refunded as rapidly as possible into notes coming due $2,500 per year on or before from one to ten years, to mature about July 1st of each year. At this time of the year we usually have more money on hand, and our bonds mature on the second of January, so that we would not be required to raise the entire amount to be paid on our indebtedness at one time. We believe that the present holders of our notes will readily agree to this refunding plan, and the Company will secure all of the advantages of a bond issue without the expense and trouble incident thereto. We note that the rates for water have been increased about 20%, and that the water should therefore bring in about $100,000 during 1922, if the sales are about the same as for 1921. The undersigned, members of the Board of Audit, have carefully examined all books, papers and other records appertaining to the business of the Company for the year ending December 31, 1921, and find that the same have been kept in a correct, neat, clear and intelligent manner, and that the foregoing is a full, true and complete report taken from the books covering the above mentioned period. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR STALEY, S. C. HARTRANFT, W. J. M. HEINZ, With prices cut to the limit, automobile dealers of Orange county Monday entered upon a week's campaign to give buyers of second-hand cars the opportunity of the year to buy good machines at prices that should be big inducement to purchase Many dealers find themselves overstocked with this class of cars and are willing to make sacrifices to clear their floors of seconds. Dealers declare that the cars they have on hand were big values as prices quoted prior to this week. With inauguration of "used car week," the prices established make the offers or greater value than ever, it is said. Dealers have reached that point where they must clean up on their used cars in stock and nearly every agent in the county is co-operating in reducing the prices this week. The $10,000 damage suit facing William Maag, of Orange, as the result of an automobile accident last August, might reasonably be considered as forming a serious financial crisis. Certainly such a suit is serious before it is tried, whether successfully defended. Yet the seriousness of William's situation might be termed slight compared to that of his younger brother, Clarence, 15, who is facing a $15,000 damage suit, also as the result of an automobile accident, a month earlier, in which one victim died of injuries. Their father, J. A. Maag, prosperous orange grower residing on Fairhaven avenue, Orange, is co-defendant in the action against Clarence because of the fact that the latter is a minor. Mrs. William Maag is co-defendant with her husband in the other suit. Wall Paper The perfect blending of the colors in Griffin Wall Papers is little short of marvelous. —Henna, Harding Blue, Blacks and Yellows predominate in the new patterns. B.F.
