School elections in both the high and grammar schools tomorrow. At the high school the retiring members of the board will be re-elected without opposition, consequently there will be little interest taken in the tame affair. There is a hot contest on for the one vacancy on the grammar school board. Wm. H. Chambers, the retiring member, is a candidate for re-election, and is opposed by W. J. Elliott. A hot fight and heavy vote is predicted.

Quality is More Important Than Price It's the fine quality in clothes that gives you the long wear; that keeps the style looking right. We know it. So we won't sell anything else. If you knew it--you would that keeps the style looking right. We know it. So we wont sell anything else. If you knew it--you would not buy anything else. Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes are priced just high enough to give you the best; that makes them cost less, because fine quality wears longest. "By All Means Get a Fit." F. A. Yungblu Home of Hart Schaffner & Marx Clothes To allow time for investigating the mental condition of Harry Fox, charged with grand larceny, his preliminary examination scheduled for next Tuesday was continued by Justice J. B. Cox to May 16, at 2 p.m. Fox was arrested at Anaheim recently charged with responsibility for the theft of nineteen Chevrolet cars stolen from that city within recent months. Fox appeared to have a liking for that particular make of car and molested no other, it was alleged. The various cars stolen were partially stripped of their parts and then abandoned. By a vote of 48 to 27, the congregation of the First Christian church decided Sunday not to sell the church lot at the corner of Center and Helena streets. A new building is contemplated, an edifice that will cost $30,000, and it is probable it will be built on the site of the present structure, which has been in service for twenty-five years. The old building may be torn down to make room for it. Some of the members favor erecting the new building on another site. Paul Montigo pleaded guilty to the charge of manufacturing moonshine dope in Judge Howard’s court Monday and was fined $300 and given a 90-day jail sentence. The term in jail was suspended provided he digs up the $300. Montigo lives on Chestnut street in this city, but his place of business was near Cypress. Some days ago Sheriff Jackson and his force raided the place and confiscated a quantity of newly distilled liquor and three barrels of mash ready for the still. Montigo caught in the act, and finding there was no escape, plead guilty. That ancient Anaheim institution, the brewery, is shortly to be moved to Nogales, Mexico, just across the river from the arid U. S. A. P. P. Powell principal owner will go with the Rather curious news from Vienna is that Czechoslovakia will lend Austria half a billion of Czech crowns. How much these are worth we do not know, but they can't be as much depreciated as Austrian crowns. The singular thing about this transaction is that Czechoslovakia is one of the new nations carved from the dual monarchy; or perhaps it would be nearer the truth to say that it is one of the fragments into which the dual monarchy broke when it fell. One would suppose Austria, a going concern, even if greatly reduced, would be in a better position to lend to one of the new states than the reverse. But Austria seems to have been sinking deeper and deeper into the slough, outdoing Germany in the issue of irredeemable paper money; and while the Austrian consul general in New York brings back from his own country news of improvement, the economic situation is still very serious. That ancient Anaheim institution, the brewery, is shortly to be moved to Nogales, Mexico, just across the river from the arid U. S. A. P. P. Powell, principal owner, will go with the plant, but expects to form a Mexican stock company with 200,000 pesos capitalization, with expectation that much of the stock will be taken locally. He has estimated that Nogales, Sonora, spends at least $250,000 a year for beer, most of it brought in from Monterey and other distant points in Mexico. Ernest Block, of Anaheim, will be superintendent and many Anaheim employees will be included in the fifty that will be needed for operation. Pleading not guilty to a charge of burglary and admitting in court that his true name was not Arthur Scott, but Arthur Foster, that individual was arraigned Friday before Superior Judge Z. B. West, who set his trial for tomorrow at 1 p.m. Foster was represented by Attorney L. F. Coburn, of Orange, appointed by the court for that purpose. His arrest took place in Anaheim recently when Dr. W. J. Lawrie, dentist, entered his offices and found Foster inside, it was claimed. Foster asserted he had been locked in by a man whom he had accompanied to the offices under the impression that the other was the dentist and was going to treat Foster's teeth. A quantity of gold, alleged to belong to the dentist, was said to have been found on Foster. Wilford Hayes, of Garden Grove, and Arthur Nittel, 226 Rose street, Anaheim, who were riding Hayes' motorcycle Thursday, were both slightly hurt when they crashed into an automobile driven by B. R. Ford at Main and Seventeenth streets, Santa Ana, according to a report on file at police headquarters. According to Ford, who made the report, the motorcycle was traveling at a rate of between 35 and 40 miles an hour at the time of the accident took place. Both riders were able to proceed on their way after the accident. Daniel R.

To the Citizens of Anaheim: The Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, desire to call your attention to the Special election called for Tuesday, April 4th, 1922, for the voting of bonds in the sum of $240,000 for the construction of an outfall sewer, in conjunction with the City of Santa Ana. This improvement is made necessary by the rapid growth of our City and because of the impossibility of properly disposing of the increased sewage upon the present City Farm. When the sewage disposal plant was placed at its present location it was with the expressed understanding that it was to be a temporary arrangement and would be removed to a more remote location as soon as such a plant could be established. The officials of your City have been for some time under orders from the Superior Court of Orange County, to remove the nuisance created by the present sewage disposal. This cannot be done without the expenditure of a large amount of money and then we would have at best but a temporary arrangement which would be maintained at the discomforture and loss of the residents in that immediate vicinity. An outfall to the ocean can now be built which will meet the need of the City of Anaheim for years to come. A very satisfactory and just agreement has been reached with the City of Santa Ana, whereby the expense on construction and maintenance is proportioned according to the amount of sewage each city produces. Much time and thought has been given to this proposed improvement by your officials. We can carry it no further. The work cannot and should not be undertaken without your approval, which your Board of Trustees now ask. It is for you as voters to say that and Seventeenth streets, Santa Ana, according to a report on file at police headquarters. According to Ford, who made the report, the motorcycle was traveling at a rate of between 35 and 40 miles an hour at the time of the accident took place. Both riders were able to proceed on their way after the accident. Daniel R. Williams, administrator of the estate of Jane Williams, deceased, is defendant in two court actions filed to quiet title on property near Buena Park. The plaintiffs were Catherine Williams, claimant owner of 80 acres, and John Williams, claimant to 20 acres. Attorney Leonard Evans represents both plaintiffs. Jesus Rodriguez, 72, of Yorba Linda, was unable to recall events that preceded his discovery in a dazed condition by a passing motorist at the Olive bridge Monday night. His money missing and his right side injured, the Mexican was believed to have been the victim of a holdup. He was released from jail after being held overnight by the Anaheim police, who were called to investigate his condition. Rodriguez, who wears his hair in long braids after the fashion of old Mexico, was employed on the Prather ranch, Yorba Linda. All that he can remember of events before he was found at the bridge was that he bought a gallon of wine in Los Angeles Saturday and that he drew $302 in currency from a Placentia bank Monday, intending to go to Mexico. The motorist saw the Mexican leaning against the bridge rail at 6 p.m. He was in the same position at 8:30 p.m. when the driver passed again and the police were notified. FOR SALE—Dairy Manure.

REMARKABLE GROWTH A remarkable growth of redwood on cut-over land is reported by W. Metcalf, associate professor forestry, and E. Fritz, assistant professor of forestry of the University of California. A second growth of redwood forest in Mendocino county, fifty years old, contained more than 100,000 board feet of timber per acre, as determined by a measurement made in July, 1921. This measurement shows that California redwood forests produce a greater amount of board feet than many eastern forests. As a comparison, a good forest of virgin spruce timber in the Adirondacks contains about 10,000 board feet per acre. The redwood area measured, however, was on good bottomland. On ordinary soil, the growth cannot be expected to approach this figure. Measurements of the yield on other areas in the state are being made by Donald Bruce, associate professor of forestry, University of California. Thursday, March 30 IS Dollar Day! See the Windows for Particulars ALKENSTEIN'S DALEY STOCKHOLDERS TO GET DIVIDEND APRIL 25 The Federal Grocery company, which operates "Rock Bottom" stores, now known as "Daley's Stores," has declared a 2 1/2 per cent quarterly cash dividend on common stock of record April 15, payable April 25. The regular quarterly dividend of 2 per cent will be paid on preferred stock of record April 1 and payable April 10. This is the first time a cash dividend on common stock will have been paid as prior to this time the stock outstanding was held by persons who preferred more stock. Such a stock dividend, amount to 50 per cent, was paid Sept. 1, last. Recently treasury stock of both preferred and common was placed on the market and these shares which have been and will have been sold prior to April 15 will participate in the dividends. The stock, according to Mr. Daley, has been selling well and it is expected that the blocks of common and preferred that have been put on the market will be exhausted in a short time. The book value of the stock is calculated to be about $1.41. The par value is $1 and the common stock is being marketed at $1.25. This figure may be raised in a short time, as it is believed that because the company is a going, dividend-paying concern the shares have more value than the present market price. The dividend just declared is at the rate of 10 per cent on par and, according to the record of the company it is believed these payments will be kept up and possibly bettered. The employees of the company are sold almost 100 per cent on preferred stock. They are given the opportunity to purchase on the installment plan, and if anyone wishes to leave the employ of the company their stock will be taken back by the company if desired at the price paid, provided 10 days' notice is given. "I am exceedingly pleased at the confidence the people has in our business, which is clearly shown by the way the stock has sold," said Mr. Daley. "It is both gratifying and encouraging to be convinced in this manner that our merchandising methods are appreciated and are proving successful." Most of our stock has been sold to our customers who are thus sharing in the profits derived from their own expenditures. "Our business methods are saving them a lot of money through efficiency of production and distribution and in advantageous buying, and they are sat isfied to come in with us and share the fair returns. "The sale of this stock gives us the funds to begin a gradual expansion, both in our manufacturing department in in the number of our stores. We plan to go ahead at a safe pace until this entire community is covered with our stores. We want to be in a position where we can give every citizen an opportunity to deal with us. "Business conditions are so shaping themselves that we believe we are justified in this step and we will progress as fast as good business judgment will permit." Better Bread Tastes Better!
