REGNIERS ARE COMING TO ENTERTAIN ANAHEIM Will Be at High School Auditorium Tomorrow Night Another high class entertainment is billed for the high school auditorium, and it will be given tomorrow night. The Regniers, formerly of the chautauqua circuit, have been engaged. Writing about these performers a newspaper critic says: Some people may say it can't be done. But then there are always people in whose vocabulary the word "can't" is as prominent as the long hair on a lecturer. But it can be done. The Regniers demonstrate that. That is, alone, unaided, they give a performance of the usual platform length, that makes you feel as though the stage was full of people. There are impersonators and entertainers, of course, who go it alone, and give splendid performances. But each reading, each impression is a number by itself, as it is intended to be. But with the Regniers the effect, somehow, is different. The opening and closing numbers of their program are quite conventional, furnishing the bread of the sandwich, with lightning changes of costume, humor, pathos, music, color and plenty of paprika to git it "pep"—an ideal sandwich that keeps you masticating fast to keep up, only you forget half of the time to chew on it, and sit with your mouth open simply letting the luscious morsels tickle your palate. The pleasure really lasts longer this way, for it gives you something to chew on and think about after the show is over. At the beginning there are two or three musical numbers, a duet or two, and some songs, and the Regniers are both delightful vocalists, and Mrs. Regnier is an artistic accompanist. ceased bearing interest from that date. Three hundred and nineteen million dollars of Victory notes were sold in the twelfth district, and as a considerable portion of the "called" series still remains unreedemed, it is obviously to the holders' interest to cash them immediately and put the proceeds to work through deposits in their banks or by investment in other sound securities. Otherwise, the money tied up in these expired notes will be earning nothing for its owners. The treasury department wishes also to remind all present holders of the 1918 issue of war savings stamps that these stamps matured on January 1, 1923. Facilities have been provided at all banks and postoffices to handle the redemptions either for cash or by exchange into treasury savings certificates. Bankers and postmasters can give full information on the subject. If this exchange is made before January 16, the certificates will be dated January y. 1923, and will enjoy interest from that date; otherwise, they must bear the date they are actually issued and will draw interest from such issue-date only. As some fifty million dollars were due the citizens of this district on January 1, 1923, for the 1918 war savings stamps they still held, much unsculpted effort is being made to induce those who have not yet redeemed their stamps to part with them for questionable stocks or to put the proceeds into other highly speculative ventures. In view of the wide distribution of those stamps among a very large number of small buyers, the government is greatly concerned in seeing that all holders get their full face value of $5 per stamp, and that they reinvest this money to advantage. The treasury therefore recommends up, only you forget half of the time to chew on it, and sit with your mouth open simply letting the luscious morsels tickle your palate. The pleasure really lasts longer this way, for it gives you something to chew on and think about after the show is over. At the beginning there are two or three musical numbers, a duet or two, and some songs, and the Regnler are both delightful vocalists, and Mrs. Regnler is an artistic accompanist. Follow, then, a series of impersonations by Mr. Regnler, with complete changes of costume and of the voice, and they come so fast that afterward when you think it over it seems as though there were half a dozen characters on the stage at once, and all of them are so admirably done, the stage business so perfect in every detail that the entertainment is well nigh perfect. It gives pleasure to the listener in the passing, and in retrospect it stands out like a clear cut, perfect gem, reflecting light and joy from each of its faces. The Regnlers have real art, real ability, real voices, plus personality, and without personality those other virtues are worth a last year's walnut shell. During Mr. Regnler's impersonations, Mrs. Regnler assists him very charmingly, with clever "patter," accompaniments and songs. Mr. Regnler is off stage a surprisingly short time for his costume changes, but Mrs. Regnler deludes you into thinking the time is only half as long as it really is by entertaining you with delightful songs and pianologues. Her speaking and singing voices are as sweet as the music of a mountain brook, and she makes even the average over-worked stage piano fairly talk to you like a baby. Really the only objection to their program that I can think of, and a critic must kick about something if he earns his money, is that it makes time pass so blamed fast, and we haven't got any to spare. I went down to one of the army camps and heard the Regnlers give their program in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. Every seat was filled, and the boys certainly did enjoy it—if hearty applause is anything to judge by. After the performance the secretary told me that it was the best performance ever given in that camp, and they have something nearly every night. "It is just what I have been looking for," said he. "Lively and en- their stamps to part with them for questionable stocks or to put the proceeds into other highly speculative ventures. In view of the wide distribution of those stamps among a very large number of small buyers, the government is greatly concerned in seeing that all holders get their full face value of $5 per stamp, and that they reinvest this money to advantage. The treasury therefore recommends and urges re-investment of these funds through exchange of the stamps for 4 per cent treasury savings certificates up to the limit allowed, which is $5,-000 maturity value of these five-year absolutely safe and profitable certificates, issued in denominations of $25,$100 and $1000. The treasury asks your valued cooperation in cautioning all stamp owners not to part with the stamps for less than their full face value, and also in awakening all holders of the 'called' Victory notes to the advisa- bility of cashing them without further delay. BANKERS AND AUTO MEN TO DISCUSS BUSINESS Bankers and auto dealers of the county will have a heart-to-heart talk over the automobile busienss, as it obtains in this county, at a meeting of the motor dealers' craft of the Orange County Automobile Trades' association to be held thi sevening at the Cherry Blossom, Santa Ana. According to Herbert O. Davis, secretary of the organization, bankers of the county are deeply interested in the success of the automobile agents. The conference will involve discussions on the problems of the dealers in handling used cars. Dealers declare that buying and selling of used cars, particularly with reference to trade-ins on old cars, is causing them losses annually by reason of the fact that local agents have been allowing more for second-hand cars than have dealers in Los Angeles or any other county in California. It is pointed out that with this condition obtaining, local agents must sell at a price higher than rules at other places. The financiers will be asked to suggest a solution to the problem. It is the belief of the agents that with co-operation of the bankers, conditions can be created that will give the dealers a fighting chance for their business life. I went down to one of the army camps and heard the Regnliers give their program in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. Every seat was filled, and the boys certainly did enjoy it—if hearty applause is anything to judge by. After the performance the secretary told me that it was the best performance ever given in that camp, and they have something nearly every night. "It is just what I have been looking for," said he, "lively and entertaining with plenty of pop." I guess that's about all. It ought to be enough. That's the kind of program the Regnlers are putting over on the Redjath Lyceum and chautauqua paliforms all over the country when they are not enjoying life in their cozy, artistic little bungalow on the edge of Los Angeels. CASH IMMEDIATELY All "Called" Victory Notes and Matured War Savings Stamps Have Stopped Bearing Interest If any residents of the twelfth federal reserve district, comprising California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and—for savings purposes—Alaska and Hawaii, are still holding 4 $3.4 per cent Victory notes of the fifth Liberty loan with letters A, B, C, D, E, or F prefixed to their serial numbers, the treasury department desires to call to their special attention the fact that these particular notes were "called" by the secretary of the treasury for redemption on December 15, 1922, and therefore have ceased to bear interest since then. The 3 3-4 per cent Victory notes also were "called" for redemption on June 15, 1922, and have likewise been allowing more for second-hand cars than have dealers in Los Angeles or any other county in California. It is pointed out that with this condition obtaining, local agents must sell at a price higher than rules at other places. The financiers will be asked to suggest a solution to the problem. It is the belief of the agents that with cooperation of the bankers, conditions can be created that will give the dealers a fighting chance for their business life. SERVICE IS APPRECIATED The following letter, dated January 3, has been received at this office from the United States civil service commission at Washington: Editor Gazette: Dear Sir—The commission has been informed by the secretary of the local board of civil service examiners in your city that your paper has rendered valuable assistance by publishing notices of examinations for the federal civil service. The commission wishes to express to you its appreciation of your help in its work. It is the aim of the commission to keep the federal civil service recruited at all times with the best grade of workers available in the various lines. The government, serving as it does all the people, is entitled to the best in its personnel. A newspaper which helps to recruit the civil establishment renders an important public service. It is evident that practically all the newspaper publishers recognize the value to their readers of the notices of civil service examinations. Many examination announcements have a peculiar local interest, such as announcements of examinations for positions in postoffices, custom houses, With the initial p. in 1900, there was of 1100 h. p. by increase during the 5000 t. p., from ness increased a gidly, showing in nected load of a h. p., or a gain of eight years from 1876.

The commission hopes that it may have your continued co-operation in this important work. By direction of the commission: Very respectfully, JOHN T. DOYLE, Sec. THE IDAHO-UTAH PICNIC The opening picnic reunion for the season—1923—will be the Utah Idaho rally in Sycamore Grove park, Los Angeles, all day. Saturday, January 20, 1923.

Diemling Writes of the County's Rapid Advancement Relative to the development of Orange county, W. L. Diemling, district acres of land in this district alone, which takes in the county from the northern line of Anaheim to the ocean, are using electrical power to facilitate irrigation. Certain districts are selling at $4.,000 an acre, but with no particular desire to sell. When I came to Orange county fourteen years ago for the Southern California Edison company, power was being supplied by a transmission line from Puente, near Pomona. Santa Ana in 1909 was supplied by two 50-kilowatt transformers, handling a total of about 134 h.p. Today the Santa Ana district alone is handling a connected load of 40,000 h.p., and the company is preparing to add another 5000 h.p. this year. Santa Ana city has 3000 h.p. capacity. A chain of substations has been built from Puente reaching to the latest, the Fairview sub-station, four miles south of Santa Ana. Fullerton sub-station was the first on the chain in 1910. A few years later the Katella station was added. The Fairview station was built in 1920. On the west the Los Alamitos station was built to carry the power load into Orange county, and to complete the loop which eliminates chance of interruption of power service. Such loops surround each-power station. Steam plants located at Long Beach and Redondo complete this protective system. Within three months probably a new sub-station in the geographical center of the southern California power district will hook on to the 220,000 volt "bus.bar." or main feeder, that is the terminus of the Big creek development and inter-linked with the great Pitt river project. DEAD MAN IDENTIFIED lions of dollars' worth of war savings certificates that have not been presented for transfer. The par for par exchange privilege will expire on January 15, after which date the price of treasury savings certificates dated January 1, 1923, will increase slightly from month to month to compensate for the accrued interest. The same spirit of thrift that prompted purchasers of war savings certificates should induce them to convert their holdings into treasury savings certificates rather than demand cash for them. Some of the facts that make the new security a particularly desirable form of investment are as follows: Issued in denominations of $25, $100 and $1000, and sold at a present price of $20.50, $82 and $820. Payable five years from date of issue. Registered and non-transferable. Payable only to owner except in case of death or disability. Payable before maturity for a less amount, corresponding to the time of redemption. Exempt, both as to principal and interest, from all state and federal taxes, except surtaxes. Duplicates will be issued for lost certificates. Will be paid to owner, regardless of any lien or judgment. May be sold and registered in the names of fiduciaries, in the names of two persons jointly, or in the name of an infant. Will be paid to an infant on his signature alone. May be registered as payable to any beneficiary named by owner, in case of the latter's death. Any one person may hold up to $5.,000 worth of any year's series. To remove all possible difficulties in the way of purchasing the treasury savings certificates, they have been EDISON COMPANY CHIEF TELLS OF HUGE GAIN W. L. Diemling Writes of the County's Rapid Advancement Relative to the development of Orange county, W. L. Diemling, district manager of the Southern California Edison company, writes: Orange county's prosperous development of the past ten years has surpassed all prophecies. What it will be in another ten years I am afraid to say. Not because I fear the county might fail to reach my estimate of its development and wealth, but because my prophecy made today would seem insignificant then. The electrical development of Orange county has been coincident with and a leading factor in the extraordinary progress of one of the richest and most fertile agricultural regions in southern California. Revenue from Orange county to the company in 1909 was $75,000. In 1920 the revenue was $1,500,000. Orange county stands second only to Los Angeles county in producing revenue for the Southern California Edison company. Yet, when I came to this county fourteen years ago, it was considered one of the poorest paying propositions in the entire system. Today the county is divided into two districts, one district headquarters, the northern district, being at Fullerton, and the district under supervision with its headquarters in Santa Ana. The electrical development in Orange county, or the Santa Ana district, is most graphically told by the operating reports showing the connected load for the past few years. With the initial installation of 20 h.p. in 1900, there was shown a net gain of 1100 h.p. by 1905.. This was increased during the next five years to 5000 t.p., from which time the business increased a great deal more rapidly, showing in 1913, the total connected load of approximately 14,000 h.p., or a gain of 1000 per cent in the eight years from 1905 to 1913. The present 40000 h.p. load shows that in the past ten years the gain has been approximately 200,000 per cent. DEAD MAN IDENTIFIED The headless skeleton found last week in Santa Susanna pass has been identified as the body of Willis Raymond, of Los Angeles, alleged robber and pal of Herb Wilson, notorious bandit, recently sent to San Quentin. It was believed that Ventura gangsters murdered him. Identification was made by pieces of the clothing found on the body, a hat and set of false teeth found near the skeleton. A brother, Everett Raymond, who resides at 321 Lime street, Inglewood, recognized the articles. At the same time it was revealed that the dead man at the time of his disappearance was employed on the ranch of N. R. Richey, at Laguna Beach. Investigation by the brother was made on the suggestion of Mrs. Richey who wrote to him that she believed the body found in the pass was that of his brother. She stated that Willis Raymond had frequently told her husband, "they were trying to frame him, but would find that they could not." She also stated that the suit case of the dead man is still at her home. According to a statement by Deputy Sheriff J. E. Ensell, of Inglewood, Richey informed him that Raymond had told him frequently that Ventura gangsters were after him, and it is believed that he was murdered by the gang. Several months ago Willis Raymond and a man named Thompson were arrested at Lankershim and placed in jail on a charge of robbery. Thompson was convicted and sent to San Quentin. Raymond was released on bail and never appeared for trial, according to facts disclosed by investigators. It is asserted that Herb Wilson supplied the bond, and attempt is being made by Los Angeles officers to verify this. BEGIN NEW YEAR RIGHT In the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California. George Tadema, Plaintiff vs. L. Hemmerling, Louise Hemmerling and C. E. Hemmerling, Defendants. Under and by virtue of an execution issued out of the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, wherein George Tadema is the Plaintiff and L. Hemmerling, Louise Hemmerling and C. E. Hemmerling are the Defendants, upon a judgment renamed the 29th day of December, 1922, for the sum of seven hundred ten and 36-190 ($710.36) Dollars, besides costs and interest; and that the sum of $726.81, with interest from the 29th day of December, 1922, is now (at the date of this writ) actually due on said judgment. I have this day levied upon all the right, title, claim and interest of said defendants (or either of them) in and to the following described real estate: Situate in the County of Orange, State of California, and more particularly described as follows: to-wit: Lots twenty-nine (29) and thirty (30) in Blankton (10) of the "Town- With the initial installation of 20 h.p. in 1900, there was shown a net gain of 1100 h.p. by 1905. This was increased during the next five years to 5000 t.p., from which time the business increased a great deal more rapidly, showing in 1913, the total connected load of approximately 14,000 h.p., or a gain of 1000 per cent in the eight years from 1905 to 1913. The present 40000 h.p. load shows that in the past ten years the gain has been approximately 3000 per cent. How can one prophecy against such astounding odds? Ten years ago the company was influenced by me to install the sub-station at Katella, rather than reinforce the lines from Fullerton to bring the increased load to Santa Ana. The acre of ground on which the sub-station stands was purchased for $200. We could have acquired 40 acres from the owner for $130 per acre. Recently an additional piece of ground was necessary on which to install equipment at Katella. The price quoted was $160 a front foot. We paid at the rate of $11,000 an acre for one third acre. At the time the Katella station was under consideration, the territory surrounding it was bare of vegetation other than cactus and sage brush. It was a sandy waste. Today that territory is producing a major part of the orange and walnut crop of the county. There is an evidence of electrical power development. Ten years ago in a paper for a power magazine, I reported that 20,000 acres of land then were supplied with water brought up by electric and gasoline power from the underground streams. Today I venture to say that 150,000 jail on a charge of robbery. Thompson was convicted and sent to San Quentin. Raymond was released on bail and never appeared for trial, according to facts disclosed by investigators. It is asserted that Herb Wilson supplied the bond, and attempt is being made by Los Angeles officers to verify this. BEGIN NEW YEAR RIGHT On January 1 about $500,000,000 worth of war savings certificates of the series of 1918 became due, and the treasury department has undertaken the task of paying or refunding them with the least disturbance to other fiscal plans under way. The sale of those certificates during the war created a spirit of thrift among the people that it is highly desirable to perpetuate. The 25 cent thrift stamps, $5 war saving stamps, and $100 war savings certificates brought home to the people the possibilities of investment in government securities that afford a valuable field for federal financing in the future. Secretary Mellon has met the situation by providing special means for transferring funds invested in war savings certificates into the new treasury savings certificates that have taken the place of the war issues. From November 15th it has been the privilege of owners of war certificates to exchange them for an equal face value of treasury certificates dated January 1, 1923, and payable five years from date. Thousands of people have availed themselves of the opportunity to leave their money in the hands of the government at practically the same rate of interest their war investments have been drawing, but there are still many mil- 36-190 ($710.36) Dollars, besides costs and interest; and that the sum of $726.81, with interest from the 29th day of December, 1922, is now (at the date of this writ) actually due on said judgment. I have this day levied upon all the right, title, claim and interest of said defendants (or either of them) in and to the following described real estate: Situate in the County of Orange, State of California, and more particularly described as follows, to-wit: Lots twenty-nine (29) and thirty (30) in Block ten (10) of the "Townsite of Stanton," as shown on a Map recorded in Book 8, page 11 of Miscellaneous Maps, records of Orange County, California.

Notice is hereby given, that on Thursday, the 25th day of January, 1923, at ten o'clock A.M., of said day, I will proceed to sell in front of the court house door, south entrance in the city of Santa Ana, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States all the right, title claim and interest of said defendants, (or either of them), if in and to the above described property, or so much thereof as may be necessary to raise sufficient to satisfy said judgment with interest and costs.

STANTON RESIDENTS ARRESTED FOR BOOTLEGGING Sheriff's Officers Make Good Haul in Neighboring City Two stills, a barrel of mash and some of the completed product comprised evidence secured by county motor police in two raids on Stanton bootlegging establishments Saturday afternoon and evening. Seberlane Herneady was the first victim. He was visited early in the day by H. S. Warner and O. K. Carr, of the motor police, in company with Charles C. Carrillo, interpreter. One barrel of mash was dumped and the still and some manufactured liquor were taken by the officers as evidence. Herneady was to be arranged before Justice of the Peace J. B. Cox on charges of having liquor and a still in his possession. Later in the day, Carr and Warner entered the pool hall of K. Pakayama, a Japanese, and confiscated a still, much equipment, a quantity of liquor and discovered a punch board in operation. All were taken as evidence and Pakayama was to be arraigned before Justice Cox on a formidable array of charges. The formal charges will include operating a still having liquor in a public place, transporting liquor and operating a punch board, which is a form of gambling. The punch board with an array of premiums, calculated to appeal to the trade to which the Japanese establishment catered, was taken as evidence by the officers. Both Herneady and Pakayama were taken to the county jail Saturday night. Both stills were of heavy copper and the one taken from Pakayama is said to be one of the best confiscated by the officers. It was placed in evidence in the case and was held in the district attorney's office pending the hearing. NOT EUROPE'S POLICEMAN!
