ANAHEIM, 1922 Anaheim is a fine city, a beautiful city—a "boom" city?— No, there is no boom in Anaheim, it is a city of steady progress, rapid progress, we grant you—but—progress, wonderful, steady, progress—lovely homes, handsome business blocks, as massive and artistic as any that adorn the vast business centers in the eastern cities, rising before our eyes almost as quickly as the vision cities rise, when we gaze on the weird "Mirage," but, unlike those vision cities, that vanish as we look upon them, just a zephir, a shivering of the atmosphere, a mist, and they are gone—gone are the busy streets, with their hurrying crowds, gone are the stately homes. "And the ships within the harbor, and the palm trees on the shore, 'And the sunlight on the waters, we shall see no more, no more.'" Unlike those cities, Anaheim is building for posterity, Anaheim is only at present, like the foundation of one of those 50-story "sky-scrapers"—watch it grow, boys, and read what Anaheim will be in 1930, appearing in our next issue, a "Vision" City, the realization of which rests with the municipality, the strong secret societies, the Ebell club and you couldn't stop growing with that up-to-the-minute club behind your efforts. It is "You" for the bricks and mortar, the cement and iron girders, and "They" for the arts and sciences, and the things that make for the sure and lasting prosperity of a city, and with a pull all together, what wonders could be accomplished, for it is a well-known, undisputable fact, that no city is really a prosperous city, that has not got the reputation outside its boundaries, of being a "musical city," and Anaheim has not that enviable reputation as yet. It has its sunny skies, its wealth of flowers, its orange groves, RECORD VEGETABLE CROP Southern California is facing one of the biggest vegetable years in the history of the state, is the belief of railroad freight officials who have just completed a survey of crop conditions in the southland, in preparation for fall shipments east. With the prospects for heavy crops of practically every vegetable grown here, railroad officials are rushing preparations for the handling of the products which are expected to be placed on the eastern market early in October. G. W. Luce, freight traffic manager of the Southern Pacific, and J. T. Saunders, general freight agent in charge in Los Angeles, returned from a survey of conditions in the various vegetable producing districts and expressed amazement at the outlook for heavy movements on practically all crops. In this connection also it was learned that George H. Hecke, director of the state department of agriculture, is now in Washington, D.C., to assist officials of the bureau of railroad freight service in expediting the movement of refrigerator and other vegetable cars to southern California in preparation for the opening crops. Saunders stated that there will undoubtedly be a heavy demand for refrigerator cars, and the company is taking steps to meet any emergency that might arise. Railroad officials in the east have been ordered to empty refrigerator cars as soon as they arrive at their destination in the east and start the cars on their return to southern California for fresh loading. Saunders said. On their return to Los Angeles both Saunders and Luce said that farmers everywhere they visited appeared highly optimistic over the outlook for this season and joined in the belief Glidden museum gigantic skull high, and 24 model Glidden an Indian child recently on Skout beyond Glidden will follow portionately. The museum structure of skull feet. The skull will serve as a of the building be live feet in powerful elective far out it will also be filled illumination. The effect of tred so as to she were one of the aborigines be such that no forget Glidden ever grew larger such a size as be from 60 to the original C large men, not tenth of that size. When complete Santa Catalina thing else any! It will be open and the build on the relies so visit it will leave having their cu cement and iron girders, and "They" for the arts and sciences, and the things that make for the sure and lasting prosperity of a city, and with a pull all together, what wonders could be accomplished, for it is a well-known, undisputable fact, that no city is really a prosperous city, that has not got the reputation outside its boundaries, of being a "musical city," and Anaheim has not that enviable reputation as yet. It has its sunny skies, its wealth of flowers, its orange groves, everything that makes for an earthly paradise, except its lack of progress in music and its sister arts, for Anaheim can do big things, if it will. There is fine musical talent right at our doors, but there appears to be a lack of ambition to go ahead. A stranger in our office a few days ago said, "I have already heard three entirely different male quartets. Each singer had a particularly fine voice, but no training, and the pity of it, with such great possibilities. I know a famous 'world-renowed' male quartet, whose solo voices could not compare with any one of these men here, but their 20 years of constant practice together, is the cause of their renown." Anaheim can have a symphony orchestra, if it makes up its mind to it. The greatest orchestra in the world did not achieve greatness until it got down to the bed-rock of practice. Anaheim can have a choral society this winter (it should have had one long ago), if the right people get busy, and get busy quick, to start it going. The municipality should take it up, make it a big affair, put it on a sure and lasting foundation, and then the wives and mothers of the business men that we want to locate in Anaheim will content to break up the old homes, for the first thing they will ask is, "Have they good schools?" That question can be answered by a decided "Yes." Then, how about accomplishments for our children? Is it a musical city? Can they have the refining influences there, that they have here? And if the reply must be in the negative, then these mothers will say "No," and what that means is quite plain to some of us. Watch our next issue. OUR EXHIBIT AT SACRAMENTO The exhibit of the tri-counties—Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino—is attracting much attention at the state fair this week. The exhibit, in which D. Eyman Huff, T. B. Talbert and Murray Horne, taking steps to meet any emergency that might arise. Railroad officials in the east have been ordered to empty refrigerator cars as soon as they arrive at their destination in the east and start the cars on their return to southern California for fresh loading. Saunders said. On their return to Los Angeles, both Saunders and Lace said that farmers everywhere they visited appeared highly optimistic over the outlook for this season and joined in the belief that this year may see a record out of vegetables. Reports from the east indicate good market conditions this year, and with the railroad strike situation showing signs of an early settlement, there is a general feeling of coming prosperity. NIGHT DRIVING TERROR "It if the motoring public would cooperate with the police departments of the different cities and counties of this state, there would be a big difference—a wonderful decrease in the number of accidents in this county." This statement was made by A. S. Ralph, manager of the Automobile Club of Orange county, after a talk with officials regarding the brilliant headlight evil. "I had a talk with Chief of Police Jernigan regarding this terror of night driving and he assures me that the officers of Santa Ana are going to do everything in their power to make night driving safer for the careful motorists. "With testing stations located everywhere in the state, there is no excuse for any car owner neglecting to have in his possession a certificate to the effect that his headlights have been tested and adjusted to comply with the law. "Chief Jernigan assures me that it is not the desire of the officers to inflict hardships upon anyone. It is their earnest wish to cooperate with the people, but he is determined that this needless glare of headlights shall not be permitted to cause accident after accident. If, after a reasonable time, every motorist has not had his lights tested and adjusted he will be liable to arrest, if his headlights are glaring."

The exhibit, in which D. Eyman Huff, T. B. Talbert and Murray Horne, of Orange county, have taken a keen interest, enhanced by the presence of three attractive young women packers all of Orange. These young women, selected after careful search throughout the county, will remain at the state capital ten days and their expenses will be paid by the three counties. According to Huff, their hours of duty will be flexible, so that they may enjoy the many bright features of the fair. The exhibit has for its main features a miniature orange packing plant, showing the progress of grading, sorting and packing oranges, entirely by machinery, an oil rig in actual operation, and the system of irrigation in use in the three counties. The products of the three counties is also given a prominent place in the display. Among these are walnuts, cotton, honey, fruits in great diversity, and the products of irrigation. The annual crops of the tri-counties aggregate $154,900,000, according to figures recently tabulated. The plant will be of sufficient size and equipped in standard form for the packing of both deciduous and citrus fruits produced in the three counties. If you make your interviews with busy men brief enough, you'll gain a reputation as a good business man yourself. OPPOSE DISMEMBERMENT In a booklet just issued by the general committee against dismemberment of the Central Pacific-Southern Pacific railway system over 400 commercial and business organizations of California, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona are listed as opposed to the unmerger. It is contended that 90 per cent of the articulate voice of the state is now definitely on record potesting against the dismemberment. Excerpts from scores of officials, representing 42 lines of business, are contained in the booklet, among which is the following: Analtim Sugar company, Anaheim, Cal.—"As large shippers on this system we feel that, if this dissolution is carried out it will mean irreparable calamity not only for us but also for the community served by this system of railways."—D. Jessurun, superintendent. NOVEL MUSEUM PLANNED FOR CATALINA ISLAND Two hundred feet above the Pacific ocean, and overlooking Avalon, Ralph Glidden, of the staff of the Museum of the American Indian; Geo. G. Heye Foundation, in New York, will erect a unique museum that should prove one of the wonders of the modern world. Mr. Glidden is an archeological authority on the famous Channel islands in whose ancient history there is steadily increasing interest. Instead of a tower to crown it, the ANAHEIM GAZETTE Glidden museum will be capped by a gigantic skull, 16 feet wide, 11 feet high, and 24 feet through. For his model Glidden is taking the skull of an Indian chief which he unearther recently on San Nicolas island, just out beyond Catalina. The enlargement will follow its dimensions proportionately. The museum will be an imposing structure of solid masonry, 30 by 40 feet. The skull featuring the exterior will serve as an index to the contents of the building. The eye sockets will be Ive feet in diameter, equipped with powerful electric lamps which will be visible far out at sea. The noce-bridge will also be fitted up with additional illumination, as well as the lower jaw. The effect of the latter will be designed so as to show up the teeth, which were one of the notable features of the aborigines. The whole thing will be such that no one ever seeing it can forget Glidden's museum. If men ever grew large enough for heads of such a size as this skull they would be from 60 to 70 feet tall. Although the original Channel islanders were large men, not many exceeded one-tenth of that size. When completed the museum on Santa Catalina will be unlike anything else anywhere in this country. It will be open to the general public, and the builder plans to give talks on the relies so that the people who visit it will learn something besides having their curiosity catered to. H. S. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE At a meeting of the principals and coaches held at the Santa Ana high school, Friday, September 1, the following schedule of football games was approved: October 7—Anaheim vs. Tustin at Anaheim; Huntington Beach vs. Orange at Huntington Beach. BRAIN-TEASERS FOR AUTOMOBILE OWNERS Brain-teasers for auto owlers who think they know a lot about touring in California have been evolved by the touring board of the Auto Club of Southern California. Just how good a tourist are you? Here are ten of the selected questions issued by the auto club to test a motorist's general touring ability: Where is the town of Roosevelt? Where is the San Pasqual grade located? Where is Lundy lake located? Name six lakes that can be found between Bishop and Mono lake? Between what two towns is the Dog Valley grade located? Locate the town of Osdick, California? Where are the Carnegie observatories located? Where is the famous Coyote well? What is the name of the river just north of Santa Maria? Name four towns between Calliente and Fairview? Now, Mr. Motorist, if you can answer these you qualify as a high-class number one, California tourist. If you can answer five of them, you are good. If they stick you, call up the nearest auto club office and they will give you the answers. Practically every county in the southern part of the state is represented by these teasers. Mr. Edison with his fifty questions had nothing on the auto club. Go to it! SEES HOPE IN EUROPE Edwin James, one of the most conservative of American foreign news correspondents, well acquainted with the European situation, offers a ray of hope as regards the reparations outlook. According to Mr. James there is H. S. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE At a meeting of the principals and coaches held at the Santa Ana high school, Friday, September 1, the following schedule of football games was approved: October 7—Anaheim vs. Tustin at Anaheim; Huntington Beach vs. Orange at Huntington Beach. October 14—Anaheim vs. Huntington Beach at Huntington Beach; Santa Ana vs. Whittier at Whittier; Fullerton vs. Tustin at Tustin. October 21—Anaheim vs. Whittier at Whittier; Santa Ana vs. Fullerton at Fullerton; Orange vs. Tustin at Orange. October 28—Anaheim vs. Orange at Anaheim; Fullerton vs. Whittier at Fullerton; Huntington Beach vs. Tustin at Tustin. November 4—Anaheim vs. Fullerton at Anaheim; Huntington Beach vs. Whittier at Huntington Beach; Santa Ana vs. Orange at Santa Ana. November 18—Anaheim vs. Santa Ana at Santa Ana; Orange vs. Whittier at Orange; Fullerton vs. Huntington Beach at Fullerton. November 25—Santa Ana vs. Huntington Beach at Santa Ana; Whittier vs. Tustin at Whittier; Orange vs. Fullerton at Orange. The Santa Ana-Tustin game date was left for their mutual agreement. November 11 was omitted from the schedule in order to permit participation in patriotic programs. RANK DISHONESTY The railk dishonesty of some of the propagandists for the strikers will react to their discredit. The assertion, for instance, that the Republican party is antagonistic to the farmers, is known by every farmer to be untrue. It was the Democratic administration that let the war finance corporation die and refused to revive it. It was a Democratic president who vetoed a bill passe dby a Republican congress reviving the corporation so that it might advance money for the handling of farm crops, livestock, etc. The Republican congress passed that bill over the president's veto. A Republican administration provided increased sums for federal farm loans. A Republican congress, called into special session by a Republican president, passed the emergency agricultural tariff bill protecting American grade southern part of the state is represented by these teasers. Mr. Edison with his fifty questions had nothing on the auto club. Go to it! SEES HOPE IN EUROPE Edwin James, one of the most conservative of American foreign news correspondents, well acquainted with the European situation, offers a ray of hope as regards the reparations outlook. According to Mr. James there is more chance for a yielding attitude on the part of France than appears upon the surface. Another conference is predicted for November, and in the intervening period there will be all sorts of additional preparatory negotiations, official and unofficial. As Mr. James puts it, both Lloyd George and Poincaré have had a chance to cool off, both realize the dangers in a split between their respective governments, and each will seek the means for bringing their viewpoints into accord again. This is welcome news. Up to date the British policy has leaned too far toward leniency to Germany, while the French have failed to keep practicable repairation and bitter vengeance sufficiently divorced. There is a middle ground which may exact of Germany all possible recompense for the wrong she has done without her economic destruction, and this will be found ultimately. In the meantime neither in England nor America should it be forgotten fast up to date Germany has never set herself earnestly to the righting of the wrong she committed She has tried to avoid them, while France, the creator sufferer from German invasion, has had to fight to get anything. INDUSTRY IS IMPROVING Industrial skits are clearing. The coal strike is practically settled. There will be full settlement soon, in probability. The rail troubles, from every indication, are nearing settlement. These settlements will open the flood-gates for business and industrial revival. Conditions are extremely favorable for quick recovery in business and industry, once peace has been proclaimed in mining and in railroading. When these industrial conflicts are settled, there is prospect of tranquility for a long time. In truth, the country has been so stided by the coal and rail troubles, public sentiment may be so insistent for the deriving of where. It is but recently that this could be said of our pork. In the past too many hogs have been grown as "just hogs." The discouraging but conscientious wor kof the pure bred enthusiast is beginning to tell,and the packers are unanimous in their statement that the quality of pork we produce is far superior to that grown five years ago. A prominent packer was recently asked what were the reasons for the improvement in our pork and he mentioned three things,viz.,more scientific feeding,the system of grading as practiced b your various farm bureau units,and last but not least,the infusion of pure blood into our herds.Now that we have adopted methods of producing a high grade product the future of the hog in California is entirely up to us.The natural advantages in this state for producing economical pork are greater than anywhere else in the world. We have water,land,mild climate and an unlimited variety of necessary feeds.It is no credit to us to say that we can grow as good a hog as they can grow in the east.With our favorable conditions we should be able to outdistance any other state in hog production,and we can easily do this if we will give careful attention to feeding,breeding and selling.it is not difficult at the present time to make real good profit on hogs even where all the feed has to be purchased,providing the hogs are pure bred.It is not necessary that theybe registered or show animals,but if we wish to avoid a loss we must stay away from the scrub. BE A BOOSTER Why does one community excell another in the production and sale of pure bred livestock? In that community the yare all boosters. Once, in EUROPE CRIES FOR IT The American idea for the treatment of Russia is winning. France has already adopted it, and it is only a question of time before the other allies must subscribe to it, because it is the only sound policy. American advice emanating from Washington is far more potent than American advice that might have been given from Genoa or The Hague. If your business isn't a pleasure you are not going to have much fun of any kind. HOG PRODUCTION IN CALIFORNIA In view of the fact that California is noted for climate, oranges, lemons, walnuts, boulevards and the widest variety of commercial luxuries known anywhere in the world, the topic of agriculture in general, hog growing in particular, is generally not given much consideration. The middle west having risen to such heights in the production of hogs and hominy has more or less stolen our thunder along these lines. While it is true that California produces less than one-third of the pork she consumes the quality is equal if not superior to any produced any- BE A BOOSTER Why does one community excell another in the production and sale of pure bred livestock? In that community the yare all boosters. Once, in awhile you find a breeder who thinks that if he was the only breeder in that section he would have a big business. Find a place where there is no competition and you will find a place where there is no business. When a purchaser arrives at the farm and cannot find just what he wants drive or direct him to some of your neighbors, where he will find it. He leaves with a pleasant thought for your community and is a booster for you. You are boosting your community and being boosted. Ba a booster. The news columns of the dairy and farm journals have recently been filled with accounts of worlds records being broken in dairy production. In the opinion of many breeders the time is not far distant when there will be a new classification in advanced registry, one that will give the owner of the herd a broader basis for measuring the productivity of his herd as a whole than is now afforded. Why not an official classification for the whole herd? THE BIG IDEA! There is no objection to a government department considering ways and means of controlling prices and distribution of coal, but what the country is most interested in at the moment is having the coal mined. SCHOOL SHOES In preparing the kiddies for the opening of school see that their feet are well protected. We have just what they need, and our prices are right. We can fit all, from high school to kindergarten Joe Lautenbach Cor. Lemon and Center Joe Lautenbach Cor. Lemon and Center DID NOT INITIATE Col. Sprague, chairman of the rehabilitation committee of the American Legion, offends his own intelligence and does injury to the organization he represents when he writes to Gen Sawyer that "every bit of legislation now in effect for the disabled veteran was put through congress by the American Legion." Such an assertion creates the impression that it not been for the efforts of the legion no such legislation would ever have been passed, and pictures that organization as holding a club over an unwilling congress until the bills were written into law. To furnish reason for such an assumption is a gross lie on congress. If ever there was united support behind a national policy it was found in the enactment of the various bills for the relief of disabled soldiers. Opposition was wholly lacking and congressmen vied with each other in urging the big appropriations and in granting every request that competent judgment advised. The American Legion favored much of the legislation, but the disabled soldiers would have been cared for as solicitously by congress had the legion never been heard of. Just as an illustration of how ridiculous is Col. Sprague's assertion, it will be recalled that the vocational rehabilitation act was passed by congress and became a law on June 27, 1918. It was not until more than eight months thereafter that the American Legion was tentatively organized in Paris, and it was not until May, 1919, eleven months thereafter, that the work of the Paris meeting was formally confirmed by the legion at St. Louis. Of course the American Legion had nothing whatever to do with initiating that legislation for the relief of disabled soldiers. REWARDS FOR BRAINS Announcement is made that since an account was filed by the executors, Theodore Roosevelt's estate has been increased $50,000 by the payment of book royalties accrued before his death but only recently paid. It is probable the Roosevelt heirs will receive income for many years from this source. Good books live and are in demand long after death claims their authors. Mark Train's estate received one recent year from the subscription publisher of his works over $80,000. One book of adventure first published almost 50 years ago "goes big" among the boys of today and must be a source of large profit to the author's heirs, if they have managed to retain an interest in it. Book copyrights are valuable property, provided the works have value. It is just that the author have what they earn, and his heirs after him. STAGE DRIVER GUILTY Charged with reckless driving. W. De France, a driver for the Motor Transit company, was found guilty by a jury in Judge French's court at Fullerton Thursday after a trial which consumed most of the forenoon. Judge French assessed a fine of $25 or 25 days in jail. The complaint against De France was sworn out by F. H. Lyon, Fullerton city attorney. The alleged offense is said to have occurred on August 1 at the "nairpin" curve between this city and Fullerton. Mr Lyon, accompanied by his family, were driving an auto going toward Fullerton when they were met by a Motor Transit stage coming toward Anaheim. At the curve above stated, which is known to be dangerous, it is alleged that the stage driver cut the corner, crowding the Lyon car off the highway, when a serious accident was narrowly averted. The jury composed of six men returned the verdict of guilty in a few minutes after the case was given to them. Assistant Attorney Mosely prosecuted the case, as the scene of the violation was outside the city limits. M. C. Folsom, of Los Angeles, defended the accused. AT DAWN I have loved well the winding ways of dawn; I have loved well the high, white roads of noon— Grant when I come unto the Silent Trail Silver and shadowy underneath the moon. That I walk straightway down the path of night With never regret nor backward turning glance To old loved lands, so fair and fugitive; High hills of hazard, valleys of romance. Yet let me hold the bright faith of the day. Dreams that I treasured ere the light was gone; Deep in my heart the warmth of the glowing noon. And on my lips the songs I sang at dawn. EVOLUTION OF ANARCHY Picketing brings disorder, disorder brings riot, riot brings massacre. Illinois has showed how it's done. Let's have it checked at the beginning.
