ANAHEIM IN 1930 Letter from Holcum T. Prayzer, president of Chamber of Commerce, multi-millionaire oil man, to Bertram Chumley, Orange Grove avenue, Pasadena, Calif: "The Castle," Anaheim, Sept. 13th, 1930. My Dear Chumley: At last I have a breathing spell, but for how long it may last, is a bird of different plumage. The "President," our new and imposing hotel of 1000 rooms, opened its doors last Wednesday, and it more than surpassed our most sanguine expectations. Every known device for the comfort and convenience of our guests has been utilized even to the wonderful electrical control system, on each of the eighteen stories. I believe this is the first hotel in the whole of the United States to have it installed. Believe me, it is great. You sit down in any chair in your suite, it doesn't matter which, just touch a button, and a panel in the walls silently opens and you can guide that chair with absolute certainty to any part of that flat, each chair has ball-bearing "electro-lized" castors—but there—come down and see for yourself. And then another much needed reform has been put through. You remember, don't you, how, in about 1922, it was impossible to read what street you were on, for grass and weeds and other obstacles, not to mention rocks and boulders, had entirely effaecd all letterings, and no notice taken by the then Anaheim boosters—but now the rubbish is all cleared away, and heavy glass put over them, with electric lights behind said glass, and now it is easy to hunt up a street after dark. The park and the auditorium were opened two weeks ago. You remember where the band stand stood in 1922, when, in order to get near the band, you had to plunge and fall, and limits, and our dramatic club is putting on "Lady Windermer's Fan" in the auditorium. They finished it last week, the auditorium, I mean. It seats 8000, and our own symphony orchestra will give a program after the play, and the Los Angeles symphony will play between acts. We couldn't ask them to play after the Anaheim players. It would be too cruel. The auditorium cost $400,000, and not a cent owing on it. I believe we are going to have ducks at luncheon. I can smell sage and onion suffling—I know I can—or else its garlic. Yes, it is garlic, and I can't bear it. I was afraid my "Chow" had appendicitis last night, but I guess it was watermelon. He adores it. Now, Mab, write soon, to say when you are coming. I have a summer suit of "Palmarie," the very latest of suitings. It is pale green, and my hat is a "Panama Flop," with three "Jackie Coogan" blue ostrich feathers falling down my back to my waist—nothing else. It's the sweetest thing. You walk behind to get the full effect. Good bye, dear. I believe its "ducks" after all. Lovingly, E. C. B. P. S.—I have ordered one of those new crinoline costumes from "Jenny," of Paris, the new shade, "creole yellow." It is really a "bronze," six yards round the bottom, and trimmed all round with twelve such dear little ruffles, and yards and yards of Mechlin lace. Everard will have a fit, as usual, when the bill comes in. E. C. B. THE FARM BUREAU SEEKS NEW MEMBERS Plans are under way for an energetic campaign for 2500 members in the Orange county farm bureau, following a meeting of the diretors on Thursday afternoon, when plans for third of this year's Seeks will be the day.

The main southern Calling an increase and since it sidereation froz of the dairy can be portrayed. other obstacles, not to mention rocks and boulders, had entirely effaced all letterings, and no notice taken by the then Anaheim boosters—but now the rubbish is all cleared away, and heavy glass put over them, with electric lights behind said glass, and now it is easy to hunt up a street after dark. The park and the auditorium were opened two weeks ago. You remember where the band stand stood in 1922, when, in order to get near the band, you had to plunge and fall, and plunge again, over ploughed ground, with thistles and weeds two feet high, and be thankful when you did get through; that you didn’t have to spend an hour, extracting burrs from your clothing. Well, my dear fellow, a treat for tired eyes is in store for you. Beautiful shade trees and flowering shrubs, cosy nooks and plenty of comfortable seats; all fixtures (movable seats are a great mistake in a public park). We took in five more acres, had to buy outright, one street of small bungalows, which were soon carted away, but we have the space and “dough” was plentiful. The auditorium is built in the Spanish style, slender “lacey” arches and wonderfully colorings—the seats are “electric.” When you rise, they close up, 8000 of them. Our own symphony orchestra furnished the music, and the press reports were just flattering. Of course, you know that at the contest held in New York City some six weeks ago, our own Anaheim orchestra, over the heads of 20 symphony orchestras from all over the world, brought back the coveted prize, a massive silver shield, suitably inscribed, which is now enclosed in a crystal case, with heavy ebony frame, and is on exhibition in the hotel. Well, we start on a world tour, my wife and I, about November 1st, so let me know when you can visit us, and I will meet you in my new “Mercedes,” (fourteen thousand bucks f. o. b. union depot, Anaheim, Oh, boy) at the high level. Regards to you and yours, from your friend, H. T. PRAYZER. Letter from Mrs. Everard Court Brown to Mrs. Mabel Pousonby, the Riveria, France: Anaheim, Cal. Sept. 20, 1930. Suite 350, "President" Hotel, My dearest Mab: I would have answered your lovely letter ere this, but have been moving into my new suite in our new hotel, "The President." If you were only Plans are under way for an energetic campaign for 2500 members in the Orange county farm bureau, following a meeting of the diretcors on Thursday afternoon, when plans for this drive were ratified. The drive will start November 6. At present the farm bureau has a membership of 1000. The revenue from these members is insufficient to maintain the office and organization, Secretary R. D. Flaherty declared. Consequently much will depend upon the success of the drive. With the 1500 additional members, funds would be available for much additional work, it was pointed out. Mrs. J. R. Schofield, reporting for the women of the county agricultural districts, who met in a mass meeting at Birch park, said that they desire a home department. She asks permission to have some expert present the case to the women of various farm centers, to determine the opinion regarding the move. If enough of them signify their desire, the department will be established, the directors indicated. The women will maintain a column in the farm bureau News, the new monthly publication of the farm bureau, it was decided. The delegation from the Orange County Truckmen’s association, which several weeks ago requested permission to meet with the diretcors to discuss the maintenance of highways question, failed to put in an appearance. PRIZES FOR BEST ESSAYS President Jeremiah F. Sullivan, of the San Francisco Bar association, has offered prizes of $250 and $100 for the best essays on the Sample bill, an act which appears as a referendum on the November ballot, according to a statement made yesterday by Attorney L. McFadden, of Anaheim. This contest is open only to law students enrolled with any professional resident law school in the state, and the subject of the essay is "Public Policy Grounds Upon Which the Electors Should Vote 'Yes' on Proposition 24 on the November Ballot," entitled "Regulating the Practice An obliging owner by rowed machine discovered by George Hurd San Juan Inn and of The R Beach, lost his cafe at the m day.

Sept. 20, 1930. Suite 350, "President" Hotel, My dearest Mab: I would have answered your lovely letter ere this, but have been moving into my new suite in our new hotel, "The President." If you were only here to see me—me—on the 12th floor, away up in the cloudland, and such an hotel—the richest furnishings, and you don't have to walk anywhere, just touch a button, and set in one of the chairs, and a panel opens in the wall and you can guide it wherever you want to, on that flat. How it's done! I don't know, and the servants all wear fancy suits like bullfighters, and they look perfectly lovely; one especially has such beautiful legs, as straight as our flag pole on the grounds, 75 feet long—and the cutest little moustache, and a heavenly brown beard. The "Ebell" club has 759 members, and we had a ball last week. It was held in the big ball room of the hotel. The floor was like ice. I danced every dance. Everard didn't like it at all. He said I was too frivolous, but I don't care; I think it was because I danced six times with that good-looking cashier at the Flirst National, the one with red hair, and the squint in his left eye. How he can dance. I just laid in his arms, as the orchestra played "Waldenfels," lovely "Estudiantena" waltz, and he carried me away, till I felt like a mound of jelly, all shivery and wobbly. You know how I mean. Did you see the last census report? They give us 60,000 within the city best essays on the Sample bill, an act which appears as a referendum on the November ballot, according to a statement made yesterday by Attorney L. McFadden, of Anaheim. This contest is open only to law students enrolled with any professional resident law school in the state, and the subject of the essay is "Public Policy Grounds Upon Which the Electors Should Vote 'Yes' on Proposition 24 on the November Ballot," entitled "Regulating the Practice of Law." Manuscripts must be submitted before October 10 to the public welfare bureau of the California Bar association, 923 Pacific Building, San Francisco, or 480 I. W. Hellman Building, Los Angeles. Further information obtainable at these bureaus. Attorney McFadden said that the Sample bill is aimed to prevent the unlawful practice of law by prohibiting disbarred attorneys from practicing either in courts of law or in their offices. It also prevents banks and trust companies from making a practice of drawing wills and declarations of trust, but does not affect realtors, notaries and title and insurance companies, he said. OUR HONEY CROP Orange county not only ranks first in honey production by comparative acreage, but holds first position in California through the superior quality of its product, according to prominent bee culturists who are planning to install an interesting exhibit at the Orange county fair to be held at Santa Ana late this month. According to estimates made here the 1922 honey crop will easily reach 200 or 250 tons, with the orange flower honey comparatively scarce. One ANAHEIM GAZETTE third of this year's crop will be what is known as "Mountain" honey. In 1921 there was a crop of only seventy tons, due to a dry year and very little honey flow in the hills. In 1920, the honey crop of Orange county was 300 tons. This does not include the product that the itinerant bee-keeper takes away to other counties. There are sixty commercial bee-keepers in Orange county and there are over 12,000 colonies kept in the county in apiaries of various sizes, with as many as 1500 more colonies brought into the county for the orange flower honey flow and again brought back from the sage belt to the bean belt later in the season. At the county fair, it is the desire of the Beek-keepers' club to present to the public many of the interesting features of an industry of this magnitude and show the many grades of honey, its many methods of extraction by power and by hand, the different types of hives, the combs and the queen bee and her workers at work in an observation hive. DAIRY EXHIBIT AT THE SOUTHERN CALIF. FAIR One of the agricultural features of this year's Southern California fair will be the dairy demonstration tent. This large tent will be devoted to the demonstration of better dairying methods, an exhibit of appliances and equipment, and a comprehensive display of dairy by-products. In the section given over to better methods will be shown the production of clean milk, factors influencing milk production, feeding rations for cows and feeding calves. The maintenance of soil fertility on southern California farms is becoming an increasingly important matter and since it is receiving serious consideration from farmers, the relation of the dairy cow to this problem is to be portrayed. tax of a taxpayer who falls to pay his quarterly installment automatically becomes due and the collector is authorized to collect the whole tax plus interest and penalties. Tourists who are visiting in southern California should send remittances on their income tax to the office at which they filed their original returns. Collector Goodcell points out that although Washington assesses the tax the payment of it must be made to the collector of internal revenue in whose district the taxpayer resides. Payments should never be sent to Washington. NEW CHIEF DEPUTY D. P. Goodwin has been appointed chief deputy of the state corporation department, effective first of September. He won recognition by service to the state in assisting in the administration of the corporate securities act. Among the most important problems Goodwin was called upon to assist in deciding was the policy of the state corporation department in handling the so-called "three per cent loan companies." With Prof. William Leslie, of the state university, Harry Moore, of the corporation department, and Commissioner Daugherty, Goodwin worked out a plan to insure the solvency and practicability of these organizations. The worth of this group won national attention and favorable comment from the leading financial journals of the United States. "The decision of A. G. Fickeisen, former chief deputy, to sever his connection with the state corporation department was sincerely regretted by me," stated the commissioner. "The state is fortunate to have a man as well qualified as Mr. Goodwin to step info the place Mr. Fickeisen left in the state organization. Goodwin's work will be chiefly to supervise the In the section given over to better methods will be shown the production of clean milk, factors influencing milk production, feeding rations for cows and feeding calves. The maintenance of soil fertility on southern California farms is becoming an increasingly important matter and since it is receiving serious consideration from farmers, the relation of the dairy cow to this problem is to be portrayed. How many people realize that the dairy cow is the most efficient and economical producer of food of any of the domestic animals? Visit the dairy tent and find out why. You have often read or heard of the value of the purebred sire in improving the dairy qualities of a herd, yet many people have never had the opportunity to see this improvement demonstrated in successive generations of animals. The dairy tent will house a herd of cows which show the value of the purebred sire in a very striking and convincing manner. In all of the demonstrations and exhibits, whenever possible, live animals will be used in making the show more interesting and valuable. One of the largest and most complete displays of dairy by-products ever shown at a fair will be housed in the dairy tent. The boys of the agricultural class, Riverside polytechnic high school, will be in charge of the exhibits and demonstrations as the dairy tent is a part of the junior work undertaken. The fair management is confident that the dairy tent will be one of the most unique and valuable educational displays of the whole Southern California fair. OBLIGING JOYRIDER An obliging joyrider who notifies the owner by postcard where his borrowed machine may be found has been discovered by the sheriff's office. George Hunter, proprietor of the San Juan Inn at San Juan Capistrano and of The Raven cafe at Laguna Beach, lost his car from in front of his cafe at the mission town late Thursday. Friday he received a postcard at Laguna Beach, telling him that his car had been left for him in the rear of a store at Irvine. He looked, and sure enough, the car was there. The store keeper supplied the rest of the story. A youth had driven the car to his place early Friday, saying won national attention and favorable comment from the leading financial journals of the United States. "The decision of A. G. Fickeisen, former chief deputy, to sever his connection with the state corporation department was sincerely regretted by me," stated the commissioner. "The state is fortunate to have a man as well qualified as Mr. Goodwin to step into the place Mr. Fickeisen left in the state organization. Goodwin's work will be chiefly to supervise the legal wor kof the state corporation department. His activities will bt not only confined to the head office in Sacramento, but he will be in close touch with the branch offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles." Born in Nova Scotia, Goodwin came to California in 1888. He graduated from the Los Angeles high school and entered the University of Virginia, where he graduated with a bachelor of law's degree in 1910. He immediately entered the practice of law. Early in 1920, Goodwin entered the corporation department as a deputy and in May, 1921, former Commissioner Bellows named him as deputy in charge of the Los Angeles office. Among the organizations with which Goodwin is identified are the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, the Phi Delta Phi Legal fraternity, the University Club of Los Angeles, the Chaparrel club, Los Angeles Bar association, the American Legion, and Hollywood lodge No. 355 of the Masonic fraternity. YOUR VALUABLES Are you thinking of buying the Russian crown jewels, including the famous Orloff diamond? They are offered for sale by the Bolsheviks. The price? A trifling $500,000,000. The whole caboodle of them, prized out of their golden crowns and scepter, could be carried in your suitcase. As far as being useful, the Russias crown jewels are about as valuable as a peck of broken glass. Their value is entirely imaginary—no more, no less than the imagination of man makes it. A queer thing is value. Ford Motor company's latest statement shows that its assets exceed $400,000,000. Of this, $81,026,633 is invested in real estate, the only imperishable form of material wealth. Patents are listed at a value of only $110,740. The company's good-will is entered San Juan Inn at San Juan Capistrano and of The Raven cafe at Laguna Beach, lost his car from in front of his cafe at the mission town late Thursday. Friday he received a postcard at Laguna Beach, telling him that his car had been left for him in the rear of a store at Irvine. He looked, and, sure enough, the car was there. The store keeper supplied the rest of the story. A youth had driven the car to his place early Friday, saying that he wished to leave the machine there for Hunter, who, he said, would be along shortly from Laguna Beach. They had arranged, the youth said, for him to drive Hunter's car to Irvine from San Juan Capistrano and leave it there for Hunter. The store keeper advised him to do so at his own risk. The car had been driven nearly all night, it appeared from the speedometer and the diminished state of the gas supply. PAY YOUR INCOME TAX Thirty thousand southern California taxpayers who are meeting their federal income tax on the installment plan must make their third payment on or before September 15, according to notices received here from the office of Collector Goodcell in Los Angeles. Two installments have already been paid and the final payment will be due on December 15. Collector Goodcell calls attention to the fact that the mailing of a bill to a taxpayer at his last given address constitutes legal notice and not the delivery of the letter. He therefore urges taxpayers to notify the internal revenue office of changes in address. Under the law the entire income Their value is entirely imaginary—no more, no less than the imagination of man makes it. A queer thing is value. Ford Motor company's latest statement shows that its assets exceed $400,000,000. Of this, $81,026,633 is invested in real estate, the only imperishable form of material wealth. Patents are listed at a value of only $110,740. The company's good-will is entered as worth nearly $21,000,000. This good-will is intangible. No one can see it. No scales can weigh it. Equally intangible is the Ford Motor company's greatest value—the brain of Henry Ford. Or, to be absolutely accurate, his intellect. Accumulation of values seems to be a national mania. There are fixed values such as gold, whose price is set by law. There are sentimental values—heirlooms, remembrances, etc. Value is the most elusive thing on earth. It is the magician of economics. You think you have obtained a small value. Suddenly it swells to enormous size. This is increasing value. Henry Ford fell into its embrace and from a poor bicycle repairman became one of the three richest Americans. In the far corner are declining values—ones that are deceptive, look substantial and permanent at first, then shrink. Ask Wall Street plungers who have been caught in bear markets. Value skips about like a flea. Big fortune comes to the man who can guess where it will jump next: Typical of this is real estate.
