W. C. T. U. OF COUNTY IN ANNUAL CONVENTION Interesting Series of Meetings at Fullerton Last Week The W. C. T. U. of Orange county held its annual convention at the Fullerton Methodist church last week. This convention will go down in history as one of the best conventions held in many years. The hospitality of the people of Fullerton, the beautiful surroundings, the interest manifested, all went to make it a great convention. The decorating committee kept the church well supplied with beautiful flowers. The attendance was splendid and the program was full of good addresses, the state president, Mrs. Eva C. Wheeler, adding much enthusiasm to the meetings. This has been a prosperous year for the W. C. T. U. with a gain of 96 members. Orange county will have reached its goal of 1000 members soon. This must be attained by the time the state convention is held at Ventura, May 23-25. With each union doing its share this can be done. Orange county was the first to raise its budget of a dollar per member. The following officers were elected for the coming year: President, Mrs. Estella Harper, Garden Grove; vice-president, Mrs. George Hell, Orange; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Lea Warren, Santa Ana; treasurer, Mrs. J. E. Kellogg, Santa Ana. The following resolutions were passed: Whereas, we have for many years been working for a community property law in our state; therefore, be it resolved, that this convention extend to Governor Richardson our thanks for signing the bill thereby making it a law. Whereas, we view with alarm the increasing use of cigarettes and narcotics; therefore, be it resolved, that we recommend to our educators that death, a coroner's jury absolved Triplett from blame. Later, however, the brother of the deceased swore to a warrant for his arrest. By this time, Triplett had left Orange county, and it was not until he returned two years later, that he was arrested. AFTER NARCOTIC PEDDLERS The assembly of the state legislature passed without a dissenting vote a bill designed to put the peddlers of narcotics out of business in California. The bill now goes to the senate. The bill forbids the refilling of prescriptions containing narcotics as their principal ingredients. It makes prescriptions necessary for all sales of narcotics and provides that the records of such prescriptions shall at all times be open for police or state inspection. It defines sales and provides that they must be reported to state authorities by wholesalers or jobbers. The law also provides methods whereby habitual users of drugs may have such supplies as are essential. It limits the sale of hypodermic needles. Provision is made for the confiscation of automobiles or vehicles, other than those operated by common carriers, in which narcotics may be found. Penitentiary sentences are provided for peddlers and others having drugs illegally in their possession, the maximum provided being a ten-year term for a second offense.

The eyes of the automotive world are focused on us through the activity of the Orange County Motor Car Dealers' association. Newspapers, trade publications and magazines are devoting considerable space outlining the new method of handling the used car problem that is in opera- MAN'S HEART FIGURES IN MURDER CASE Efforts to Show Victim Died From Natural Causes A man's heart, preserved for two years, is expected to play a stellar role in the trial in Superior Judge R. Y. Williams' court of C. C. Triplett, on manslaughter charges in connection with the death of Malcolm Arrian, Brea billiard room proprietor. Triplett was arrested at Fullerton several months ago, nearly two years after the warrant for his arrest was issued. He faced preliminary hearing before Justice J. P. Cox and was held to answer in the superior court. Arrian died following an asserted scuffle between him and Triplett arising over an argument regarding possession of a billiard cue. The state contends that Triplett struck Arrian with the cue. At the preliminary hearing; Defense Counsel A. E. Koepsel attempted to show that Arrian had died from natural causes. While the hearing was in progress, Koepsel had asked for a continuance in order that he might compel John Arrian, a brother of the deceased, to produce the heart of the dead man, which he said, had been preserved, for some unknown reason. The organ was in a state of fatty degeneration, he claimed, stating that he hoped to prove, by this exhibit, that Arrian died from heart disease, and not from the effects of a blow struck. After a spirited verbal battle in justice court, Cox refused to grant the continuance plea, and held the defendant to answer. Koepsel promised that he would repeat the attempt in the superior court. Following the scuffle, and Arrain's Method of Handling Used Cars Will Be Popular Orange county is once again in the limelight. The eyes of the automotive world are focused on us through the activity of the Orange County Motor Car Dealers' association. Newspapers, trade publications and magazines are devoting considerable space outlining the new method of handling the used car problem that is in operation in Anaheim, Santa Ana and Fullerton. It is known as the Orange county-Appleby plan and is the result of two years of serious study by James E. Appleby, president of the Orange County Motor Car Dealers' association. The Motor West of April 4 outlines benefits of the plan as follows: "In brief this plan protects the public by providing an opportunity for concentrated comparisons; restoring confidence in used car values; a greater pre-knowledge of what a new car's re-sale value will be when it is a year or two old; elimination of secret allowances, etc., which mean ultimate loss; safety from superficially dolled-up junk." "What it means to the dealer—Conversion of used car inventory into bank balance, usable for more business; freedom from competitive bidding; reconditioning that helps, not hurts, their makes of cars; used car standards; opportunity to have their salesmen free from having to buy while trying to sell." "The bankers viewpoint—Relief from 75 per cent of loans to dealers becoming frozen on account of used car inventory; larger daily balances of dealer depositors, equaling sums previously tied up in inventories; and several years cerning crop acres in the various counties by the A.

Following half an hour spent in greetings and fellowship, places were found at the dinner tables where between courses a program of college songs was enjoyed. Special numbers presented were piano solos by Miss Ruth Schroeder and Mrs. LeRoy Jenkins and vocal solos by Howard Pattee. In his capacity as president, Ray Adkinson introduced Arthur McFadden as toastmaster and Mr McFadden, in turn, in a spontaneously witty manner called upon several for talks. In this manner Ray Elliott, of Anaheim, spoke on “The Pomona Club.” Miss Evylena Nunn spoke on “Wanderings of a Pomonaite,” E. J. Munger, of Brea talked on “To the Old Pomona.” G. A. Mark drew the first 15-day sentence. “I’m going to put a stop to the hair raising driving of these morous and numskulls that sit behind the wheels of automobiles, lay a heavy foot on an accelerator, a light hand on the factors involved.

"I'm going to put a stop to the hair raising driving of these morons and numskulls that sit behind the wheels of automobiles, lay a heavy foot on an accelerator, a light hand on the wheels, and support a lighter head on their shoulders." "The individual case has a lot to do with determining the sentence," he concluded, "but from now on the length and severity of the punishmen increase until reckless driving decreases." BURGLARS AGAIN For the second time within a week the "wholesale burglars" visited Orange county Wednesday night, and for the second time within two months, the Blue and Gold service station, Intersection of Orangethorpe and Fullerton boulevards, was robbed. Tires, tubes and accessories, valued at $300, were stolen according to Deputy Sheriff Herman Zabel, who investigated. Unlike the first burglary of the service station, the marauders were equipped with a key with which they unlocked the padlock on the door. Zabel declared. Entry was gained some time between 12:45 a.m. and when the proprietor left, and 1:30 a.m., when he returned. The station was closed at 12:45 a.m., while the proprietor went to his home. Less than an hour later, when he again passed the place of business, he investigated and discovered the robbery. Several months ago burglars entered the place and removed tires and accessories worth $600. NEW THEATRE FOR GARDEN GROVE That Garden Grove is soon to have a new moving picture theatre is now an assured fact, according to H. P. Tobin, well known Anaheim realty man, who is backing the project. "I believe Garden Grove is large enough to warrant the erection of a first class playhouse," said Mr. Tobin Tuesday, "and just as soon as the plans have been approved by archi- factors involved, it is said the American claims have been so systemized for presentation that the claims commission will have hardly any preparatory work to do before considering them. Some of the cases may be subject to slight revision either up or down before final settlement is made. Much of the damage for which redress will be sought in these suits was wrought while this country and Germany were still presumably at peace. Few claims against Germany are more rightfully presented. Nevertheless the Germans will hardly welcome this billion added to the demands already made upon them. It is about the last thing the German militarists ever figured on when they started the war. PROPERTY ACT SIGNED The statutes of California today include the Jones-Broughton community property measure. Governor Friend W. Richardson affixed his signature to the bill, following an open hearing held in his office. The measure, which gives the wife testamentary rights to one-half of the community property, passed both houses of the legislature by substantial majorities. Proponents of the bill were not heard by Governor Richardson, only the opposition being given a right to speak. Presumably the governor had decided in advance that he would approve the bill. Chief argument used against the bill was that it would tend to injure credit of business men and disrupt business, since the wife would control one-half of the community property. A large delegation attended the hearing at which the measure was considered. NOTICE County Taxes Delinquent on Monday, April 30th.

JUDGE COX STILL SORE "Since my accident, I know the real peril of rockless and ignorant motorists, and I'm going to put a stop to it, if I have to deal out 90-day jail sentences." It was Justice J. B. Cox, speed nemesis, speaking, and he was speaking with more than his ordinary vehemence. "One may feel sorry for another man injured," Cox explained, "but it is not until one is hurt, and his life is endangered, that he realizes the real enormity of the situation caused by careless drivers." Cox was run down by an automobile while he was alighting from a trolley car several weeks ago, and was severely bruised and cut. "I don't think that I am biased since the accident," Cox stated. "I will, however, be more strict in the enforcement of the motor laws, and fewer excuses will avail anything from now on." Cox set his plan into motion this week, when he added five days to the usual ten-day sentence which he imposes on drivers found guilty of oozing along faster than 50 miles an hour. NEW THEATRE FOR GARDEN GROVE That Garden Grove is soon to have a new moving picture theatre is now an assured fact, according to H. P. Tobin, well known Anaheim reality man, who is backing the project. "I believe Garden Grove is large enough to warrant the erection of a first class playhouse," said Mr. Tobin Tuesday, "and just as soon as the plans have been approved by architects who are now engaged in getting up the drawings work will be immediately started on a theatre building that will prove a credit to the little city." The building will be situated on lots recently purchased by Mr. Tobin on Euclid street, north of the P. W. Guyton Ford agency, and it is the plan of Mr. Tobin to make this new structure thoroughly up-to-date in all details. The theatre will be constructed of either brick or other fire proof material, with attractive lobby, and ample stage and dressing rooms, and will have a seating capacity for about 450 people. THE WAR DAMAGE BILL The German agent in the mixed claims commission has been informed that the American war damage bill will be approximately $1,186,736,867. This amount includes claims of American citizens for loss of life and property, or for injuries suffered in the slinking of the Lusitania. It includes also claims of American nationals for losses suffered in other countries for which Germany is held responsible. Judged by the amount involved, this is the largest law case in the history of the country. In spite of the many NOTICE County Taxes Delinquent on Monday, April 30th.

EVERY STREET IN ANAHEIM Has Its Share of the Proof That Kidney Sufferers Seek Backache? Kidneys weak? Distressed with urinary lilies? Want a reliable kidney remedy? Don't have to look far. Use what Anaheim people recommend. Every street in Anaheim has its cases. Here's one Anaheim man's experience. Let S. C. Marbufger, carpenter, 121 S. Ohlo St., tell it. He says: "I can endorse Doan's Kidney Pills as a good remedy. My kidneys got out of order and I had severe backache and pains over my kidneys. When I stooped, I had sharp catches in my back. My kidneys acted irregularly and I used Doan's Kidney Pills. They were just what I needed. Doan's soon fixed me up in good shape. The backache left and my kidneys acted naturally." Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Man's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Marburger had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.Y. Agricola, Guatemala Will Become Another Anaheim, California "Not long ago I could have bought land around Anaheim for $250 an acre that now sells for $5000 an acre" How often have you heard Anaheim people make such statements as that? How they now regret their failure to grasp the opportunities that were within their reach! When they had that opportunity Anaheim was in the process of development into one of the most productive regions in the whole world—productive of real wealth. Another opportunity is now presented to YOU to buy at $250 an acre and reap the great profits which are made in the development of fruit producing lands. Anaheim was once a desert waste—cactus and sage brush. Not a thing grew that was of any use to mankind. Then the pioneers came and transformed the desert into what Anaheim is today. No need to describe Anaheim orange groves—they are the best in the world. Even at present selling price of $5000 an acre and upwards, they are a splendid investment. $5000 an acre! Who would have believed it ten years ago? And still going strong! But other fruits than oranges and lemons bring big returns to the owners of producing lands. Do you know that the pineapple crop of the Hawaiian Islands brings returns of thirty millions of dollars a year? The man who started that pineapple business in the Hawaiian Islands was a former Anaheim man, Mr. Leonard G. Kellogg. He left Anaheim about twenty-five years ago and located in Hawaii, where he began growing pineapples on a commercial scale. He ultimately had over 800 acres in pineapples. That property today is worth millions of dollars, if it could be bought at any price. Twelve years ago Mr. Kellogg returned to California. Eager for new worlds to conquer and subdue, he went south into Mexico. Being a peaceable man, revolutions were not much to his liking; so he went farther south—into Guatemala, the first Central American republic south of Mexico. There he found the natives growing a few pineapples in a primitive manner, but not on a commercial scale. He also found coconuts growing wild. Four years of pioneering in that country gave him a vision of another and a greater pineapple industry than that of Hawaii. Also he found that coconuts, properly planted and cared for, would prove very profitable. Twelve years ago Mr. Kellogg returned to California.

Four years of pioneering in that country gave him a vision of another and a greater pineapple industry than that of Hawaii. Also he found that coconuts, properly planted and cared for, would prove very profitable. PINEAPPLES AND COCONUTS He found on the Pacific coast of Guatemala the land which he knew, from his experience of twelve years in Hawaii and four years in Guatemala, was right for pineapples, and which was also suitable for coconuts. He bought twelve thousand acres of that virgin soil. Then others—some of them Anaheim men—joined him in the enterprise, and they bought other large tracts of land. Thousands of acres have been cleared, plowed and planted. As soon as the land is cleared and plowed, the first thing is to plant out the coconut palms, 42 to the acre. Then, the first year, corn is grown between the rows of coconuts palms. Two crops of corn are grown in one year—and big crops, too. That brings the land into a good condition for the next step. The second year, pineapples are planted between the rows of coconut palms. The coconut palms begin to bear in about five or six years. The pineapples give a crop of about ten tons to the acre a year after planting, and they do not need replanting for four or five years. A big, valuable crop each year without replanting. Pineapples and coconuts! Two crops produced on the same land in the same year, and year after year! The combined gross returns from the two crops, after the coconut palms come into full bearing, will run from $500 to $1200 an acre. The cost of caring for and harvesting these crops is very small. There is no irrigation, as the rainfall is about sixty inches a year—over four times as great as here. There is no fumigating. There is no pruning of trees. There is no "smudging," as the temperature never goes below 50 degrees. Nor does it ever go above 95 degrees. This land surrounds the townsite of Agricola, which is ten miles inland from the port of Champerico, where the steamships call on their way from San Pedro to the Panama Canal. A railroad, owned and operated by Americans, passes through Agricola, from Champerico to the capital city of Guatemala in one direction, and to Mexico City in the other. You can go by train from Los Angeles to Agricola. Retail-huleu, a city as large as Anaheim, is inland about seventeen miles from Agricola. $250 AN ACRE—PRODUCING CROPS The land around Agricola, Guatemala, is being sold today for $250 an acre, with a contract which guarantees that the company, of which Mr. Kellogg is president, will clear, plow and plant the land to coconut palms and pineapples. During the period when the work is being done, the buyer receives seven per cent interest on his money invested, payable semi-annually, and one-fifth of all crops produced on the land. You can continue to live in California, if you so desire, and have the company look after your land, plant, harvest and market your crops. When the coconut palms are in bearing, five or six years after planting, the gross returns will be from $500 to $1200 an acre. And the cost of producing the crops is very small. What will that land be worth in five or six years? Isn't this going to be another Anaheim over again? You have the opportunity today to buy land productive of pineapples and coconuts, two of the best paying crops grown anywhere, for $250 an acre. What will it be worth five years from now?
