THE WATER WITCHES By Jack Carter, of Anaheim. (Copyrighted) They—Water Hermann, bank clerk; Jack Corbin, bank clerk; Charles Grafton, bank clerk, and Tom Calkins, bank clerk. Them—Dolly Burns, alias Mike; Peggy O'Neil, alias Peter; Laura Graven, alias Sam, and Marjorie Biltmore, alias Nick. Terry Malone, a boatman. Paddy O'Leary, a typical old salt. Morning room at Mrs. Biltmore's. (It never did run smoothly). Dolly, Laura and Peggy entering room together much excited, all talking at once. Laura—"Oh, Marjorie, listen to this," waving a letter. "I feel like—like—just think of it, no Castleford fair for us today. This is from Charlie: My dearest Pet— I have sprained my right leg—at least I think so, and also bruised my left elbow in a terrible manner, and therefore cannot possibly go to the fair today, but hope to see you tomorrow, if I am better, and appendicitis doesn't set in. Love from Charlie. Peggy—"And see what I've got," also showing letter. "Oh, I could cry, if I weren't so mad." My own Ownest— I have sprained my left leg, at least I think so, and also bruised my right elbow in a terrible manner, and therefore cannot possibly go to the fair today, but hope to see you tomorrow, if I am better and appendicitis doesn't set in. Love from Jack. Marjorie—"Why they are both alike exactly, except the legs and arms." Dolly—(On the verge of hysterics) All go out, after looking at the set of their ties, for about 40 times. They get to the wharf before the girls arrive. On the way to the river (girls). Dolly—(Trying to pull down skirt) "Oh, girls, I'm so cold and are you sure the string won't break?—and, oh, a mosquito is stinging me. what shall I do," dancing up and down in the road. Marjorie—"For heaven's sake, keep still; someone will catch on if we are not careful, and we must all change our voices, and speak gruffly, like this (making a sound that seems to come from the bottom of the pant legs) and we must call each other by some man's name. You, Dolly, can be Mike; now don't forget, and you Peggy, Peter; and you, Laura, Sam; and I will be Niek. Now we will certainly get into trouble if we forget." One carries a vanity box, another a small pale blue sunshade; Mike has a lace handkerchief tucked up "His" sleeve, and Peter a kodak and lady's reticule. They arrive at the landing stage and boat house. Dolly—"Oh, I'm going to faint; look there; all four of them, and looking this way, and Walter is wearing that tie I gave him last Christmas, and look at the roses. And, oh, there's a dear little mud-turtle," jumping about three feet in the air. (To be Concluded Next Week) KEEPING WHAT THEY HAVE Riverside has a hard time with governmental institutions of one kind and another located here, both state and national. The first experience came with the citrus experiment station of the University of California. After it had been operated for a number of years it was found essential to enlarge it materially. Then came a determined effort on the part This is partif the growth in the departmental resistance of new methods, but its fault of congress would be also many tensions and transfers sub-divisions. Nearly all of the seem progressive and character, and calculate the efficiency of adding save money at the plan calls for carefellow not be acted on at once ever, will be expected congress. There our shake-up at least on tury. RURAL CITY Just what will reshape of the rural creed certain. Its warm some of the amendments of the land bank board. No such loan may cent of the market cultural products or "Loans may be national and state panies: agriculture." My own Nest— I have sprained my left leg, at least I think so, and also bruised my right elbow in a terrible manner, and therefore cannot possibly go to the fair today, but hope to see you tomorrow, if I am better and appendicitis doesn't set in. Love from Jack. Marjorie—"Why they are both alike exactly, except the legs and arms." Dolly—(On the verge of hysterics) taking letter from pocket— My dear Dolly— I am awfully sorry that I cannot go to the fair today, but I slipped on the sidewalk last evening and fell on my head, and I am afraid there is a dent in it, but hope to see you tomorrow if I don't get gout in my feet. I am told it often occurs when you fall on your head. In haste Walter. Marjorie—"Very strange that those misfortunes should all happen at the same time, (servant enters with letter), opens, and gets very excited. 'Girls, there's a plot against us. I know it, I feel it. They want to go off by themselves, with some other girls — that's what it is. Listen: My own sweetest Marjorie— I am awfully sorry that I cannot go to the fair today, but I slipped on the sidewalk last evening, and fell on my head, and I am afraid there is a dent in it, but hope to see you tomorrow, if I don't get gout in my feet. I am told it often occurs when you fall on your head. In haste Tom. "Just like Dolly's, even to the gout, 'pauses). They are going with those horrid red-headed Langham sisters; that's what it is, but girls, we'll be there ourselves, yes, and we will dress up in men's clothes. You can wear your brother Bob's check suit, Laura, and, oh Peggy, couldn't you borrow the curate's long-tailed coat, and his white collar that fastens, goodness knows how. He'll have to put it on you. Oh, I know he'll lend them, for he's sweet on you, everyone can see that; and Dolly, you go as a Highland Scotch—Jamie Macpherson's skirt will just about go round you, if it won't meet behind it must be tied on with a string. Oh, my, dearie, you'll look lovely in kilts, and—and—what shall I wear? Oh, I know; I'll phone and ask Jimmie Duckworth to lend me his middy suit. You know the bottom of the pants are about a yard round each leg. Oh, we'll be there, all right," all KEEPING WHAT THEY HAVE Riverside has a hard time with governmental institutions of one kind and another located here, both state and national. The first experience came with the citrus experiment station of the University of California. After it had been operated for a number of years it was found essential to enlarge it materially. Then came a determined effort on the part of some real estate promoters and others to have it moved to the San Fernando valley. So determined was this effort that it took thousands of dollars expenditure on the part of the Riverside chamber of commerce to carry on a program to save the institution. It was finally saved, however. In the same manner Riverside has been up against the hardest kind of a fight to save the farm school project, which resulted in the purchase of a fine farm property here but on which nothing more has been done. Despite the fact that the Riverside location was purchased, the San Fernando valley folks and some others have opened it again at each session of the legislature and prevented the completion of the plans as originally made. It doesn't look very rosy for it at this time. March Field was purchased by the government for an aviation field during the war and made a record surpassed by no other flying field of the United States. After the war it was closed as an active field because of the economy policy that was adopted in all army operations. Recently, however, has come word that a new officers' reserve flying field has been started by the war department near Santa Monica, which is as Congressman Swing has stated, only a 60-minute flight from March field, with all of its equipment and ideal conditions. Members of the congressional party who visited Riverside were stunned when they heard of this Santa Monica activity. It was stated that it has never come to the attention of congress and several expressed the opinion that an appropriation as large as would be necessary to establish a new flying field should have been before congress in itemized form. It would appear that any institution that is dependent upon state or federal establishment and maintenance is in danger of being closed or stolen at Just what will reshape of the rural creed certain. Its warmth some of the amendments of the land bank board "No such loan may be national and state panies, agricultural tions and incorporations companies." "No paper can be which the borrower rate of more than excess of the discount terminate credit bals." "In making advance receipts, the credit only receipts from ment warehouses bonded warehouse satisfactory state regulation. This shows interest and great development of waver and proper regulation." "The facilities will be able to afford keting concerns greater development prices." "Ample funds will loans to facilitate o but none to support ing of farm products." "No loans will be period than nine m system is thorough livestock paper, satt of renewal will b cases, but only in e equal to the bank's subject of the m mit to re-inspection tory condition of vided." Oh, I know he'll lend them, for he's sweet on you, everyone can see that; and Dolly, you go as a Highland Scotch—Jamie Macpherson's skirt will just about go round you, if it won't meet behind it must be tied on with a string. Oh, my, dearie, you'll look lovely in kilts, and—and what shall I wear? Oh, I know; I'll phone and ask Jimmie Duckworth to lend me his middy suit. You know the bottom of the pants are about a yard round each leg. Oh, we'll be there, all right, all right, and won't we have some fun watching those four smarties, for, of course, it is all a make-up about their arms and legs, and they will be going. I—I'll never speak to Tom again, no never; and Peggy will you run down to the wharf, and tell Barney we want the 'Water Witch' at 11 o'clock for four young men and that they will row themselves, and girls, we had better hurry, so you run home and dress, and meet here at 10:45 'all exit). Interior of large bed-room—very untidy—four young men very busy dressing. Walter—"Say boys, it's all right. They've got the letters, and now we had better beat it, if we see the Langham girls. We'll pick them up, and its me for the green woods and the fair Betty, but say, suppose Dolly and the bunch smell a rat, and sneak along by their lonesomes?" Jack—"No fear of that old man. There's no one else to take them, and they wouldn't go through Belding woods alone, for a car load of Huyler's chocolates." Charlie—"Did you order the 'fiz,' Walter, and the cigars." Walter—"Some thing. You may bet on the 'fizz' and the hamper from Gatty's will immense." Tom—"We won't forget to go to Peppina's to have our fortunes told; they say she's a regular four-leaf shamrock." ANAHEIM GAZETTE This is part of the result of natural growth in the departments and natural resistance of routine minds to new methods, but it is largely the fault of congress, which creates the department, and prescribes their duties. Congress now has in its hands a sweeping plan for reorganization of the executive departments, submitted by the president. The most important changes suggested are the consolidation of the war and navy departments in one department of defense, with under-secretaries for navy and war; the enlargement of the postoffice department into a department of communication, with authority over mails, telephones, telegraphs and radio; and the creation of a new department of education and welfare, with an assistant secretary for public health. There would be also many minor consolidations and transfers of bureaus and sub-divisions. Nearly all of the proposed changes seem progressive and business-like in character, and calculated to increase the efficiency of administration and save money at the same time. The plan calls for careful study, and cannot be acted on at once. Action, however, will be expected from the next congress. There ought to be such a shake-up at least once in half a century. RURAL CREDITS Just what will result from the passage of the rural credits bill is yet uncertain. Its warmest friends regret some of the amendments. A member of the land bank board states that: "No such loan may exceed 75 percent of the market value of the agricultural products or livestock. "Loans may be rediscounted for national and state banks, trust companies, agricultural credit corpora- SOVIETS DROP ALL MASKS The monstrous blasphemy of the demonstrations by which the Russian bolshevik attempted to satirize the Christian festival of Christmas may well horrify even those calloused persons who heard with cynical indifference of their orgies of massacre and plunder. This is the first time since they have been in power that the bolshevik have ventured in so open a manner to reveal their purpose to destroy religion. While they felt less sure of their power, they allowed the people to continue the usual forms of worship with little interference. Last year the famine was seized upon as an excuse for plundering the churches, but the treasures thus confiscated appear not to have been used to relieve the suffering of the starving citizens. For protesting against such pillage, many of the clergy, including the patriarch and principal bishops, were imprisoned as "counter-revolutionists" and some of them have been executed. NOTICE OF SALE OF "SEWER CONSTRUCTION BONDS" OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, California, will receive sealed bids on proposals up to sight o'clock P.M., of Thursday, the 12th day of April, 1928, to purchase bonds of the City of Anaheim, ordered issued under and by virtue of the provisions of a certain resolution of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, entitled "A resolution providing for the issuance and redemption of bonds of the City of Anaheim in the sum of One Hundred Sixty Thousand ($160,000.00) dollars for the purpose of the acquisition, construction and completion by the City of Anaheim of a certain municipal improvement, to-wit: An outfall sewer, together with all necessary rights of way upon which to construct and the construction of an outfall sewer pipe line, including the acquisition of all necessary pipe and the payment of the cost and expense of installing said sewer pipe line, in accordance with and as authorized by a special election held in said City on the 4th day of April, 1922," passed and adopted by the Board of Trustees of said city on the 15th day of March, 1923. In the some of One Hundred Sixty SHOWING WILSON SOMETHING Mark Sullivan writes that ex-President Wilson feels inclined "to show Mr. Harding how an ex-president should behave." And perhaps, after all, Mr. Wilson is only fair about it! Mr. Harding's wholesome, purely American, mind-out-owned-business policies are showing Mr. Wilson how real presidents should behave. Don't pay any attention to accepted maxims. Troubles often do come singly and happiness often comes doubly. NOTICE TO CREDITORS Estate of Frank E. Carney, Deceased Notice is hereby given, by the undersigned, Patrick Browne, the executor of the last will and testament of Frank E. Carney, deceased, to the creditors of and all persons having claims against the said deceased to file them with the necessary vouchers in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, or to exhibit the same with the necessary vouchers to the said Patrick Browne, at his place of business, at Suite 2, Oddfellows' Building, in the city of Anaheim, in the County of Orange, within ten months after the first publication of this notice. Dated this 28th day of February, 1928. PATRICK BROWNE, Executor of the last will and testament of Frank E. Carney, deceased. AMES & McFADDEN, Ataorneys for Executor. 3-8-5t Orange County Business College 626 North Main Street, Santa Ana. Just what will result from the passage of the rural credits bill is yet uncertain. Its warmest friends regret some of the amendments. A member of the land bank board states that: "No such loan may exceed 75 per cent of the market value of the agricultural products or livestock. Loans may be rediscounted for national and state banks, trust companies, agricultural credit corporations and incorporated livestock loan companies. 'No paper can be rediscounted upon which the borrower has been charged a rate of more than 1 1/2 per cent in excess of the discount rate of the intermediate credit bank of the district. 'In making advances on warehouse receipts, the credit banks can accept only receipts from bonded government warehouses or satisfactorily bonded warehouses operating under satisfactory state supervision and regulation. This should lead to broader interest and greater activity in the development of warehouse facilities and proper regulation. "The facilities which the banks will be able to afford to co-operate marketing concerns should lead to a greater development of such enterprises." "Ample funds will be available for loans to facilitate ordinary marketing, but none to support speculative holding of farm products. 'No loans will be made for a longer period than nine months, until the system is thoroughly tried out. Upon livestock paper, satisfactory assurance of renewal will be given in proper forms, but only in aggregate amounts equal to the bank's capital, and then the subject of the mortgage must submit to re-inspection, and a satisfactory condition of security be provided.'" WHY SHOULDN'T THEY BE PAID? Ambassador Harvey, home from England, for a conference with President Harding and Secretary Hughes, reported that England will pay her debt to the United States. But why should there ever have been a question of it? President Wilson certainly had no authority to speak for the American people when he held out the impression that this debt would be cancelled. We simply expect England to do what she would expect America to do, were circumstances reversed. Board of Trustees entitled "A resolution providing for the insurance and redemption of bonds of the City of Anaheim in the sum of One Hundred Sixty Thousand ($160,000.00) Dollars for the purpose of the acquisition, construction and completion by the City of Anaheim of a certain municipal improvement, to-wit: An outfall sewer, together with all necessary rights of way upon which to construct and the construction of an outfall sewer pipe line, including the acquisition of all necessary pipe and the payment of the cost and expense of installing said sewer pipe line, in accordance with and as authorized by a special election held in said City on the 4th day of April. 1922," passed and adopted by the Board of Trustees of said city on the 15th day of March. 1923.

FAITH BROUGHT FORTH BY WAR The great harvest of death in France brought the subject of life everlasting more closely home to millions of men and women than it was ever brought before and has made Easter a more significant festival, for it stands for resurrection and only faith in that doctrine that mystery, can reconcile those who make the great sacrifice to their fate or can console those who mourn. The very war itself has instilled this faith. Whenever soldiers who have been at the front express themselves on the subject it is to show belief in a future life. The testimony of chaplains and of nurses is that the man do not consider the destruction of their bodies the end of all. Hold your tongue almost everywhere, but not in praise.
