For instance, there are building foods and heat and energy producing foods. Bread falls in the latter class. People who work require plenty of heat and energy producing foods. Their systems demand an abundance of such elements as are contained in bread. Give the workers in your family plenty of wholesome bread. Be sure of the best and buy Dresser's Bread. Consistent quality has made Dresser's Bread a standard food product in hundreds of homes. Dresser's Bakery 307 W. Center. B. J. Dresser, Prop. According to a report at police headquarters, Santa Ana, a Dodge car belonging to A. L. Goddickson, of Anaheim, was stolen from the street last Wednesday evening between 8 and 10:30 p.m., but was located by Police Officers Moncrief and Ryan at 11 a.m. on Sycamore street between Third and Fourth. Joyriders had apparently borrowed it for a short time. On another page of this paper the Anaheim Realty Board explains the reasons for its organization and existence. This Anaheim society is a branch of the state organization, founded for the purpose of benefiting the state and the various communities in which a branch exists. One of its purposes is to protect buyers of real estate from unscrupulous dealers who might ask fictitious prices from unsuspecting purchasers. It is a good thing for the community. Miss Mary Varnado, of Fontana, is spending the week with her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Ward, of Santa Fe street. Miss Mary is behaving beautifully, hasn't cried a bit, and does not seem to miss her mamma.

Lehmer was en route to his home in Los Angeles at the time of the accident, the railway car striking his automobile and dragging it a distance of 300 feet. Although a lack of a quorum at a recent meeting ofifhe Orange County Farm Loan association prevented that body from taking official action, opinions expressed indicated that the organization will combine with Los Angeles and other counties in the formation of a southern California body. The Orange county federal loan system has been co-operating with the Los Angeles branch for some time. The new association will give the county a voice in the action of the board to Los Angeles. Mrs. Harry Lee Wilber, of Fullerton, entertained a group of friends at the Elks' home in Anaheim at a luncheon and card party Thursday afternoon. Her tables were decorated in yellow and green with favors, place cards and score cards of the same shades of the golden-rod, which was very effective. The first prize was won by Mrs. E. J. Marks, second by Mrs. F. C. Krause, and the consolation by Mrs. A. M. Edwards. The prizes were lovely pieces of hand-painted china. Mrs. Wilber was assisted by Mrs. E. K. Benchley and her daughter, Miss Alice Wilber. W. O. F. Schwenckert, who lives in Los Angeles, but spends most of his time on his ranch near Beaumont, was in Anaheim Monday, buying nursery stock. He is putting a considerable portion of his ranch in walnuts, which he is convinced, will do well on the place. Mr. Schwenckert was once one of Anaheim's most prominent citizens, serving as city trustee and also as a member of the school board, and he still has a post of friends here who always extend him a welcoming hand. His son, Henry, is still in the navy, and has climbed up until he now occupies an important post on his ship. Jose Murrietta, convicted of first degree burglary in connection with an attempt to loot the Prince store on November 19, 1921, was sentenced by Superior Judge Z. H.West to a term The ground floor of the Yungbluta building heretofore occupied by the Crown Stages and Jackson's store, has been leased by John Reuther, of the Anaheim Beef & Provision Co., and will be turned into a public market. As soon as the Jackson store is moved into its new quarters in the old postoffice room, Mr. Yungblutn will begin remodeling the place to fit the business of the new occupant. The market will have many departments, and everything in the provision line will be handled. Thirteen varieties of apples are being profitably raised, or can be produced with profit on the tableland beside the sea, overlooking Newport Harbor, W. W. Middleton, grower, reported at a recent meeting of the Costa Mesa farm center. The large number of bearing trees and the crops on high quality produced in recent years already have disproven the assertion sometimes made that apples cannot be grown profitably near the sea. Continued demand and good prices reflect the high quality of the Costa Mesa fruit. Valencia orange, growers of the Anaheim district received a grand total of $4,550,000 for their last year’s crop, it was disclosed by the annual reports of the various local packing houses, showing the productivity on Orange county’s soil and its adaptability of citrus culture. The shipments approximated 3500 carloads of fruit, averaging 400 boxes to the gar. Approximately 60 per cent of the local output was shipped through the two exchange houses, the Anaheim Orange and Lemon association and the Anaheim Citrus association. Hundreds of people flocked to Santa Fe Springs Sunday to see the big gas well which broke through prematurely Saturday evening, blew the derrick into kindling wood, and went on the Jose Murrietta, convicted of first degree burglary in connection with an attempt to loot the Prince store on November 19, 1921, was sentenced by Superior Judge Z. B. West to a term of from one to fifteen years at San Quentin. Sentence was pronounced after probation had been denied Murrietta Originally it had been intended to continue the matter of passing sentence to Thursday at 1 p.m. for a hearing on the probation appeal. When it became evident that Murrietta could furnish no grounds for granting his appeal, the hearing was abandoned, and Murrietta consented to the passing of judgment Tuesday. His attorney, E. R. Orfla, of Los Angeles, was unable to be in court. With the Anaheim bowling league in the third week of its schedule, the Tridle and Tridle team was at the top of the heap Saturday with a percentage of 666. The race for their honors finds three teams tied—Little Ambassadors, "Stormy" Gordon's Buicks and the Dew Drop Inns—with percentages of 555. Seventh place is held by Yungbluth's aggregation, while the cellar champions are Walter's Jordans "Stormy" Gordon's team copped high honors for the week with a score of 2506 in competition with Walter's Jordans, while individual "A" class honors went to Heffron, of the Studebakers, and Dugas, of the Dew Drop Inns, with scores of 561 Flesner, of the Buck team, won "B" class honors with a score of .555 while Hofbrawer grabbed off "C" class honors with an even 500 score. Farmers are finding picnic acid useful in clearing their lands of stumps and its use is recommended by the department of agriculture of the United States. At the close of the war there was a large quantity of picric acid in the possession of the government. This surplus war material is stored at Sparta, Wis., and Fort Wintage, N. M., and farmers who want to use it for blowing up stumps can have what they need at no greater expense than the cost of drying, packing and freight charges. Groups of farmers have already secured shipments Beet farmers of the Buena Park district have stopped worrying so much about the low price of sugar and have gone systematically to work to increase their tonnage. Test plots have been established and grape cuttings will be planted, to discover the effect of grape culture upon lands which are considered to have too high an alkali content. Local growers are also cooperating with growers of this and other counties in an effort to increase yields. Purer seeds will be demanded. Reservations for the special dinner meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce to be held Friday evening at the Newport Harbor club house must be made with the committee at Balboa, according to announcement of J. C. Metzgar, secretary. The charge will be $1.50 a plate and check should be sent with order for reservations to "Banquet Reservation Committee, Box 23," Balboa." Reservations must be made no later than Thursday. The meeting is called for discussion of the Edison rates in Orange county and southern California. Two of the speakers will be members of the City Attorneys' association of southern California. The railroad commission is to hold a voluntary hearing on Edison rates at Los Angeles, February 27. Trial of the suit brought by the Firestone Tire and Rubber company, of Akron, Ohio, against Noll and Duckworth former Anaheim tire firm, got under way Tuesday before Superior Judge R. Y. Williams. The plaintiffs suing on account and for damages in connection with the alleged sale of a tire press, not paid for and not restored to the seller, claimed that a sum of $1623.75 was due them. Testimony given by W. E. Burgess, former credit man for the company, was offered to support these figures. The defendants, represented by Attorney T. L. McFadden, of the firm of Ames and McFadden, introduced testimony of one of the defendants, Noll, to show that the account with the plaintiffs... Hundreds of people flocked to Santa Fe Springs Sunday to see the big gas well which broke through prematurely Saturday evening, blew the derrick into kindling wood, and went on the rampage. The roaring could be heard for a distance of twenty miles or more. In Anaheim it sounded like an approaching train of cars. At two o'clock Monday morning the gas caught fire from friction, and shot a column of flame 400 feet into the air. It is still burning and probably will continue to burn until the pressure becomes lower, when the flame can be more easily snuffed out. The well is situated in an orange grove on the Bell ranch. Relative to the collection of funds for river protection the last issue of the Chamber of Commerce Bulletin says: Reports to date indicate that Charles Harbeson, J. J. Dwyer and Allen Withee were the three that hit the "top." Fritz Yungbluth made the heaviest returns in one of the most difficult districts; his total amount to nearly $3000. Hargrove and Chamers, in one of the business districts made an equally good record considering the size of territory. Among the best completed lists, in collections and subscriptions were those of Geo. Dunton, F. Gibbs, Dr. Jewett and Finlay. Figures at the time of going to press of this bulletin, amounted to something over $36,000 with several districts yet to be heard from. The Howe Men's Bible class of the First Christian church had a most interesting session on Sunday morning at 9:30. "Al" had promised the class that there would be something doing every minute of the hour, and he surely kept his word. In the first place he had worked a surprise on the members of the class by extending an invitation to the Ladies' class of the church to attend the class meeting, and promptly at 9:30 twenty-five members of that class filed into the study room, which was the Reo garage, on West Center street, because of some improvements being made in the White garage, two doors west. J. P. Agnew, of the Reo garage force, volunteered his services in leading the singing, and he surely delivered the goods in fine shape. Then "Loren" had an inspiration and presented a lesson study that will not be forgotten soon by those present. The class meets every Sunday morning and is growing in interest and numbers. As a result of announcements in certain districts of the citrus belt that the recent freeze has occasioned serious injury to orange and lemon groves. Orange county growers are keenly interested in measures designed to benefit the injured trees. They wish especially to preserve the younger trees, the injury to which in some cases is said to have been most severe. It is recommended by experts that pruning of bearing trees be delayed at the present time. Following the year of 1913, the freeze showed that the extent of the injury was not revealed for three or four months. Growers, therefore, are advised to delay pruning injured wood for four or five months. Growers are advised also against using chemical fertilizers, particularly quickly available nitrogen, such as ammonium sulphate and nitrate of soda. Barnyard manure, bean straw, alfalfa hay and other materials of this sort may be used. The binding of the trees should be done immediately old citrus men say, if beneficial results are to be obtained. The Sale of House Furnishings and Household Cotton Is Now In Progress.
