IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of August 9, 1873. Capt. C. E. Thom, of Los Angeles, was in town on Thursday and Friday. The Anaheim public schools will be opened on next Monday, August 11. The dedication of the Presbyterian church has been unavoidably postponed to August 17. The synagogue of the congregation of B'nai B'rith at Los Angeles was consecrated yesterday. A camp meeting under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal church will be held at Compton, commencing on next Thursday. Wm. R. Olden is one of the delegates to the Republican judicial convention to be held at Sacramento on the 20th inst. Theo. Reiser and wife and Ben Dreyfus have gone to the San Juan hot springs. There are now about twenty persons from Anaheim at that resort. Ed Miles has so far recovered from his accident as to be able to put in an appearance on the streets again, although badly dilapidated. To be the object of such general interest is almost a temptation to go and do likewise. On Thursday night the Westminster choir gave a concert at Enterprise hall, for the purpose of raising funds to procure an organ. The audience was small, but select and appreciative. Of the singers naught but praise can be said and the readings of Mr. Poor elicited much mirth. The entertainment was repeated at Santa Ana last night. Deeds Filed—Almon Crum to Richard Helman and Oscar George, certain lots in town of Santa Ana, consideration, $200. A. L. Bush to A. Crum, certain lots in the town of Santa Ana, consideration, $80. Lydia Williams, executrix, to James E. Crane and wife, fifty acres rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, consideration, $600. On Wednesday at Fairview school house W. H. Baxter, of Napa county, grand deputy of the Patrons of Husbandry for California, and secretary of the state grange, regularly organized the Fairview grange and installed its officers the following ladies and gentlemen: Edward Evey, W. M.; B. F. E. Kellogg, W. O.; David Evey, W. L.; George Greeley, S.; Byron Clark, A. S.; C. Gridley, W. C.; D. W. C Cowan, Treas.; John Taylor, Sec.; Erastus Johnson, G. K.; Miss Austin, Ceres; Miss Francis Evey, Pomona; Miss E. Kellogg, Flora; Miss M. Boswell, assistant stewardess. The charter members are E. Evey, J. J. Hill R. E. Kellogg.

Fumigating lic on recommendation Ed Miles has so far recovered from his accident as to be able to put in an appearance on the streets again, although badly dilapidated. To be the object of such general interest is almost a temptation to go and do likewise. Our friend Guinn is recognized as the right man in the right place. His sterling qualities of mind and heart, command the respect even of his enemies. We predict that he will lead the People's ticket on election day—(Mr. J. M. Guin had just been nominated for the assembly.—Ed.) The steamer which arrived yesterday brought in some of the latest styles of job type. We can now print visiting cards, circulars, etc., in the highest style of the printers' art and at rates extremely low. When Mr. Crowther in his song on county division hailed A. L. Bush as the "Great Redeemer," he evidently forgot that that gentleman bases his claims to election on the fact of his being unpledged to any man, party or measure. No greater tribute can be paid to the merits of Anaheim as a health resort and summer residence, that the fact that an old Californian like our friend A. Schmolz, who has visited and knows every section of the state, selects it as the only enjoyable spot, wherein to pass a few weeks of recreation. The announcements of James D. Byrd and David Davis as candidates for constables of this township, appear in our column of political announcements today. Messrs. Byrd and Davis have both filled the office to which they now aspire, and during the terms gave satisfaction. We recommend them to the notice of the public. On Thursday the organization of the Orange grange at Richland was completed by the installation of the following officers: Thos. Brown, W. M.; A. Hickox, W. O.; S. McPherson, W. L.; E. W. Squires, W.

K.; Mrs. Gregg, Ceres; Mrs. Davenport, Pomona; Mrs. Marshall, Flora; Mrs. Hickox, assistant stewardess. The grange numbers twenty members and holds its regular meeting at the Richland school house.

MOVING PICTURE POINTS Martyrs of the middle age present day charm upon the films. Geographical science neer in social refere first aid to the deeply romantic, humorous.No one the motion picture best-informed hears question "What shown?" Three ancient played in a school my. If we turn LAW PUTS A CRIMP IN QUESTIONABLE TRANSACTIONS Amendment Will Protect the People From Fraudulent Promoters In amending the corporate securities act providing that "any instrument offered to the public by an individual evidencing or representing any right to participate or share in oil, gas or other hydro-carbon substances or other minerals of any sort as yet undeveloped or in the proceeds of the sale thereof; also bonds, debentures and evidence of indebtedness," the 1923 legislature plugged a leak in the law by which certain oil and gas promoters have been enabled heretofore in effectively evading supervision by the corporation department in the sale of securities of highly questionable character. Commissioner of Corporations Edwin M. Daugherty announces that the amendment will become effective August 17, 1923, and, thereafter, the individuals who have been evading the California blue sky law will be brought up with a round turn and made to conduct their operations on the same fair and square lines as legitimate corporations and legitimate business are required to operate. Legitimate industry in California has been subject to an unfair advantage because of the operations of the law-evaders who have been issuing questionable securities as individuals and have successfully fought against supervision by the state corporation department. The amendment was designed to put a stop to the fraudulent operations of oil promoters who have been victimizing innocent purchasers by selling worthless paper. Widows, laboring men, inexperienced in business, aged couples, crippled and aged veterans and, in fact almost every type of person easily led or swayed by the glib tongued stock crook and conscience-less promoter, have been the victims of these law evaders and it was because of the insistent demand for effective supervision over their operations that the members of the legislation passed, without opposition, the amendment to the corporate securities act placing the securities and these operations under the supervision of the state corporation department. Commissioner Daugherty announces that this amendment to the act will be rigidly enforced and all the power of the amendment will be utilized to force out of business these questionable operations or require them to conduct their operations on the same clean, fair and equitable lines as legitimate business is conducted. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS It was ordered that the franchise applied for by the Julian Petroleum corporation, be advertised for sale and that notice of sale be prepared and submitted to said board at the regular meeting September 4, at 11 a.m. The resignation of B. B. Brown, justice of the peace of Seal Beach township, was accepted, to take effect at once. Bids were received and opened for paving of Jefferson street from the Santa Ana river to the Santa Ana oil promoters who have been victimizing innocent purchasers by selling worthless paper.

Basich Bros. being the lowest responsible bidders, the contract was awarded to them. Price, $5663.85. G. H. Morrison was appointed justice of the peace of Seal Beach township. Ordinance No. 220, to regulate the moving of loads upon the highways of Orange county, in excess of the weight and width allowed by the motor vehicle act, was passed by the board. Since awarding the contract for the house at proposed county yard at Fullerton, the county being unable to complete the purchase of the land, the board voted to reconsider the action in awarding the contract and the clerk was authorized to notify E. J. Phelps of the action of the board. The petition of I. M. Von Schriltz et al to vacate and abandon certain public road in the second road district was granted. Map of tract No. 453 was ordered received by the board and referred to the city engineer of the city of Newport Beach. C. M. Wheatley was appointed statistician at a salary of $125 per month commencing August 1. The contract with S. E. Bragg, for the grading and graveling of Chapman avenue, Kraemer avenue, Alta Vista street, Linda Vista street, Morris avenue and Van Buren street in the third road district was declared forfeited. A transfer of funds was ordered by the board. Plans and specifications submitted by Frederick H. Eley, architect, for the erection of a juvenile detention home at Forest street, near Grand avenue, Santa Ana, were approved by the board. Bids to be received up to August 28, at 11 a.m. J. S. May was appointed director of the Newport Heights irrigation district. Fumigating licenses were ordered on recommendation of the horticultural firm. sharpest spear availed far more than the chest of gold or the jeweled necklace. The barbarian may vaunt himself on his glittering treasures, but Solon knew that the man who can use hon can survey the lines of march, arm and equip his legions, and fit out the ships which tell of industrial power aswell as the bravery which may be found among the wildest tribes of the desert. Centurion before Solon, the Philistines ruled Israel, and meant to keep the weaker nation under their tread. Part of their policy—no slight part—was to see that the conquered should not find arms and break out in open defiance of their masters. Hence the ancient record's grim brevity. "Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel! for the Philistines said. Lost the Hebrews make them swords or spears; but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen every man his share, and his caulter, and his axe, and his mattock." On the eve of battle no Israelites save Saul and his son Jonathan were provided with sword and spear, and the surprise wrought by Jonathan and his armor-bearer is one of the most striking cases of panic in human annals. What pictures we have of the need of industry as a defense. The fall of Rome, the warning of the sage of Croesus, the weakness of Israel before the Philistines—we have arguments in Latin, in Greek and in Hebrew long antedating what we call political economy. THE FRENCH AND THE RUHR There is no doubt that the German government hopes to cut reparation payments to the bone. Whether from fear of popular uprising or in collaboration with industrial magnates who have added enormously to their fortunes by paying of their debts in ing over available presidential timber. The new political organizations also are doing their share of choosing theoretically, in advance of the nominating conventions. Conjecture and prediction today are beyond the pale of accurate foreknowledge. The presidency is a prize that will be plucked by one whose identity lies beyond the veil of human ken. But Americans are so constituted—they are so full of curiosity and have so much of the conjectural spirit, that the guessing proceeds about the presidency next year, just as though something definite could be foreknown at this time. It is harmless and fits in with the customs of the American people. From these long agitations some good, too, in stimulating thought and research among the people. The more the people think about political subjects the better for the country. NOTICE TO CREDITORS Estate of Rosa H. Mickle, Deceased. Notice is hereby given, by the undersigned, Walter W.

MOVING PICTURES AND POLITICAL ECONOMY Martyrs of the first century pilgrims of the middle ages, and every type of present day character have appeared upon the films. The scenario has been geographical, scientific, farcical, a pioneer in social reform, an instructor in first aid to the injured, sometimes deeply romantic, at others grotesquely humorous. No one asks "What have the motion pictures shown?" but the best-informed hesitate to answer the question "What have they not shown?" Three ancient scenes might be displayed in a school of political economy. If we turn to George B. Curtiss, THE FRENCH AND THE RUHR There is no doubt that the German government hopes to cut reparation payments to the bone. Whether from fear of popular uprising or in collaboration with industrial magnates who have added enormously to their fortunes by paying of their debts in worthless paper, is not known. There can be no question that solely from the French standpoint there is ample justification for occupying the Ruhr, or Berlin for that matter. There has been no sympathy for Germany since the government, with the approval of its people, shamelessly invaded Belgium, whose neutrality it was pledged to maintain. Since that day nobody has had the slightest confidence in the German national faith, although we know that there are multitudes of individual Germans who are as square and dependable as any other people on earth. Nevertheless the interests of the world are paramount to those of France or any other one nation, and it is better, even for France, and at the cost of national bankruptcy, to lose all its reparations justly due than for central Europe to go the way of Russia. And that was what was feared by all and earnestly predicted by many, when the French occupied the Ruhr. It was predicted that the crisis would come about mid-summer and mid-summer is here. The public does not know the internal condition of Germany. Governments are far better informed, but do not make public what they know. But it is certain that if they were confident that all would turn out well, that confidence and the facts to sustain it would be given wide publicity for the encouragement of the world. Destructive food riots in a manufacturing city of more than half a million people, involving establishment of martial law, are ominous. It cannot be merely a local condition. It is certain that the German communists get bolder day by day and it seems to be true that the fear of the German government grows stronger. In respect to the outcome of this situation there are optimists and pessimists. The United States stands with the optimists. We cannot believe that sanity will not in the end prevail. But it is folly to ignore undoubted dangers, and it is in lightning storms with the necessary vouchers to the said administrator with the will annexed at his place of business, the office of Weisel & Stark, Rooms 3 and 4, Golden State National Bank Building, in the City of Anaheim, Orange County, State of California, within four months after the first publication of this notice.

If we turn to George B. Curtiss, and we never turn to him without profit, we find a sentence to which the mind often reverts. "Ancient Rome, although but a few miles in area and a mere handful in comparative population, conquered the then known world and held it in her grip of iron until her industries were undermined and destroyed by indiscriminate trade with the orient, and her slaves, the captives from her fields of conquest, forced the Roman artisans out of their handicrafts." Whether the films display this or not the reader can place it before the eye. Rome's noble roads, the carrying fleet of the Mediterranean, the seemingly resistless army loom before the mental vision, yet industrial weakness offsets the prestige of a hundred victories. After all, the most famous history of modern times gives us—not the rise and spread, but the decline and fall of the Roman empire. Athens is still proud of Solon, the traveler, philosopher and law giver, who had grown to manhood six centuries before the birth of Christ. Tradition says that Croesus boastfully displayed his treasures to Solon, and that the sage observed, "If any one comes with better iron than you he will seize on all this gold." The wise Greek knew that whether in planting a new kingdom or defending or invading an old one the keenest sword and geographical, scientific, farcical, a pioneer in social reform, an instructor in first aid to the injured, sometimes deeply romantic, at others grotesquely humorous. No one asks "What have the motion pictures shown?" but the best-informed hesitate to answer the question "What have they not shown?" SWAT THE FLY Now is the time to swat the fly. However there are more ways than one to do it. The use of the swatter is one, fly paper is another, and fly traps is another. But the best way to swat the fly is to eliminate the sources of trouble, to get rid of the fly's breeding places. To kill the fly with the swatter is work well done, but to stop the breeding of millions early in the game is a service to the community. One fly under a swatter now equals a whole trapful in a few days. But if Mrs. Fly can't find her favorite open garbage pail in which to hatch her eggs, posterity is doomed. Just because there is a few files now is a poor excuse for failure to swat. A start can't be made too soon, because a swat in time saves, not nine, but millions.
