IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of August 30, 1873. Reiser has sold his windmill and Polhemus has rented his butcher shop. Such are the melancholy results of advertising. On Wednesday we saw the most handsome bovine we ever laid our eyes on. The animal in question is the property of J. K. Tuffree, who received it as a present from his father-in-law in San Francisco. The cow is a mixture of the celebrated Alderney and Durham breeds, is of immense size and only three years old. Her half sister sold for $300 a few weeks ago, although inferior in many respect to this one. The brig Curie which arrived at San Pedro last week with a cargo of cross ties for the Southern Pacific railroad, has been chartered by Frank Lafaucherle and is now at Anaheim Landing, loading with 5000 sacks of grain. Episcopal Service.—On last Sunday, the few members of the Episcopal church, living in and around Anaheim, were favored in being permitted for the first time to attend divine worship under the direction of a minister of their own church. A mission, embracing the counties of Los Angeles and San Bernardino, has been established, and the Rev. Mr. Luke, of San Gabriel, has been selected to take charge. Services will be held in Anaheim on two Sundays in every month. This is the first step towards the es- A. G. Beebe, vice-president; M. Steinhart, secretary; F. Langenberger, treasurer; Arthur Heiman, leader, and Messrs. R. Helman, R. Melrose and Geo. F. Milles board of directors. Messrs. Helman Steinhart and Langenberger were appointed a committee to draft a constitution and bylaws. The board of directors were instructed to procure all the apparatus which in their judgment was necessary. The meeting then adjourned to Thursday evening, when a constitution and by-laws were adopted. The club has met with great success so far, it having a membership of twenty-five. Those desiring to join the club can leave their names with M. Steinhart. Born—August 28th, to the wife of John Westphal, a daughter. Married—In Los Angeles, August 1st, by Justice Gray, Henry Watson, of upper Santa Ana, to Mrs. Mary Murphy. The board of school trustees have decided to rent the store room underneath the Masonic hall to use as a primary school, the accommodations at the school house being deficient. The rental, we believe, is $240 a year. On account of our limited space we shall be able to make only slight mention of those candidates to whose success we have endeavored to lend a helping hand. Dr. C. W. Bush, of Los Angeles, who heads the list as a candidate for senatorial honors, is On Wednesday, a large crowd assembled at Enterprise hall to witness the "Tableau Vivants," given by the ladies' social club of Anaheim. The little folks were out in strong numbers, and by their evident enjoyment of what was to them a novel amusement, added largely to the pleasure of the "grown up" people. The tableaux were "The Wounded Soldier," "The Bashful Lover," Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works," "Othelle and Desdemona," "The Goddess of Liberty," and "Mary, Queen of Scots, with Her Maids of Honor." The entertainment was varied by a recitation 'Keeping His Word,' prettily rendered by little Miss L., and songs by Mrs. H., and Miss Minnie G.. We regret that we can not notice at length the performance. Taking into consideration the short time allowed for preparation, every feature of the entertainment was a success. The club proposes to give tableaux once a month. By so doing they will add largely to the attractions of Anaheim and greatly increase the sociability already existing to so enlighten a degree. Anaheim Turn Verein.—The members of this society met on Monday evening. The meeting was called to order by R. Melrose. The following gentlemen were elected to fill the different offices: S. J. Davis, president; ANAHEIM TURN VEROIN.—The members of this society met on Monday evening. The meeting was called to order by R. Melrose. The following gentlemen were elected to fill the different offices: S. J. Davis, president; PLAN FOR FARM STORAGE An interesting letter has been received by Gray Silver, Washington representative of the American farm bureau federation, from the acting secretary of agriculture, C.W. Pugsley, in answer to an inquiry as to the way grain may be stored and bonded warehouse receipts issued upon it. Mr. Pugsley says: "An individual or an association or partnership desiring to enter the public warehouse business and which can meet the requirements may be licensed under the act. A plan for farm storage within the law is along the following lines. A number of farmers in a community might form a corporate organization. The various farm storages might then be leased or sold to the corporation. The corporation could then operate the various units as a public warehousing system. When the corporation meets all the requirements of the act and the regulations, and when it is determined that the various units are suitable for the purposes of the act, a license will be issued to the corporation to operate the different plants. The corporation, however, would be obliged to operate the different units as public storage places." "The federal warehouse act provides solely for licensing persons engaged in the business of storing agricultural products. Its purpose is to provide a warehouse receipt which will be generally acceptable for collateral purposes. This department has made strenuous efforts to get bankers to view federal warehouse receipts in this light. In the past two years it has made substantial progress in that direction. "The war finance corporation, the farm loan board and the federal reserve board and its various member banks have recognized as preferential receipts issued by persons engaged in the business of warehousing when such receipts were issued under the federal act. Various large banking institutions from Portland, Oregon, to Boston, and from Chicago to New Orleans, have given similar recognition. Various farmers' associations through the use of receipts thus issued have been able to borrow many millions of dollars, and in fact a number of them have already arranged to use this same form of receipt with intermediate credit and private banks for financing this year's crop." According to Mr. Silver, after reading this letter, the machinery was "all set" for the operation of storage and the next move is up to the farmer. This should be read in connection with Democratic declarations that the Republican administration has done nothing to help agriculture along. "To my mind the most constructive movement under way at the present time for the relief of the farmer is the development of co-operative marketing," declared Alexander Legge, president of the International Harvester company, at the Chicago wheat conference, recently. "This development may not cure all the ills of the present (low wheat) situation, but there isn't a doubt but what it would afford a substantial measure of relief, as the present practice of selling the wheat crop over a comparatively short period tends to depress the price when the movement of the crop from the farm is heaviest." Republican legislation has also been passed to aid the development of co-operative marketing. UNIFORM LAW ENFORCEMENT WANTED BY ALL First steps toward the establishment of uniform auto law enforcement throughout the southern counties of California have been taken. That a vital necessity exists for cooperation among the various smaller towns, cities and counties of this part of the state, is the opinion of traffic experts who are making it their business to see that motoring is conducted in a harmonious manner. At a recent meeting in Los Angeles county, officials of the various communities decided upon concerted action in various "drives" to be conducted in enforcing the new motor vehicle act. With this movement the Automobile Club of Southern California has signified itself as being in sympathy. As things now stand, it is pointed out, one city may start a drive on illegal headlights and fail in its efforts because the surrounding communities are not making similar enforcements the operation of their cars than are the seasoned owners. It is not only inexperience on the part of the new car owners which accounts for the large number of accidents with new cars, say the authorities, but rather because of the tendency toward reckless driving when they begin to feel their oats. COMMUNITY PROPERTY LAW The failure of the attempt to place on the ballot as a referendum measure the community property act passed by the last legislature presents these two unique situations; the general election will be the first not to contain a referendum measure, and for the first time the effort to secure enough signatures to place on the ballot as a referendum measure an act passed by the legislature has failed. These results tend to show first, that the privileges of the referendum and initiative have not been taken advantage of to replace representative government by direct government, as was predicted by the opponents of such a provision, and second, that if the community property bill had contained provisions that would cause the upheaval in business that some of its opponents prophesied, greater effort would have been made to have secured the number of signatures necessary to place it as a referendum measure on the ballot. The previous community property bill, which was submitted to the referendum, was defeated by a majority of 175,000 votes. In the meantime, a bill drafted by the California Bar association and in some degree modified, passed the last legislature by a large vote and was promptly signed by the governor. The endorsement of the bar association and the modification of the act in addition to the intensive educational campaign sponsored by most of the women's organizations of the state, no doubt account for the lessening of NOTICE TO CREDITORS Estate of Rosa H.

HARD-BOILED AUTO DRIVERS DISAPPEARING Hard-boiled auto drivers are going out of style. Most motorists now are really "soft-boiled." Synthetic chauffering is a "has been!" These deductions have been reached from recent investigations conducted by the safety and touring bureaus of the Automobile Club of Southern California. There was a time, it is pointed out, when to operate a car in a hard-boiled and defiant manner—taking the right of way regardless of the rights of others, breaking through traffic at evensum, officials of the various communities decided upon concerted action in various "drives" to be conducted in enforcing the new motor vehicle act. With this movement the Automobile Club of Southern California has signified itself as being in sympathy. As things now stand, it is pointed out, one city may start a drive on illegal headlights and fall in its efforts because the surrounding communities are not making similar enforcements of the law. Other towns fall in their law enforcement because they do not have the cooperation of the entire territory in their work. It is proposed that under the new system all counties and communities will be able to function on the same thing at the same time. This will eliminate any hits-or-miss attempts to bring law-evaders to time. As the plan now stands, every county will operate with a committee representing the various communities so that the counties and this general committee will agree upon and indicate the concerted movement of the entire counties in enforcing various sections of the motor vehicle law, such as glaring headlights, obscured license plates and other infractions. An inter-locking system will then be worked out between the counties so that every county will be functioning at the same time. Thus, no isolated community will be endeavoring to enforce one section of the motor vehicle law at one time and another at another, and so on. Glaring headlights which will be checked in one community will then be stopped in all communities, and so the law-evader will have very little chance to escape, it is pointed out. HINTS TO HUNTERS Going hunting? Then be sure it's a buck; and be doubly sure your camp fire is dead out before you leave it. A one-cent cigarette may start a $10,000 forest fire. Stamp out your burning snipes. Why spoil your hunting trip by having to face the judge for carelessly setting the woods on fire? To be a good hunter you must be a good woodsman, and that means a man who is always careful with fire. Hunters and smokers annually start over 32 per cent of the forest fires in California. Preach and practice care with fire when in the woods. Forest fires drive away game and spoil the fishing. Be careful with your smokes. Stop and think! A hunting license only costs $1.00, but a forest fire set through carelessness may cost you $500 or more. The woods in September are as dry as tinder. Don't flip burning matches and cigarettes into the brush. Eternal vigilance with matches, tobacco and camp fires is the price of a successful hunting trip. AMERICANIZATION FOR AMERICANS National Civic Federation to Prepare Lectures That native born and bred Americans, as well as foreigners who beendum, was defeated by a majority of 175,000 votes. In the meantime, a bill drafted by the California Bar association and in some degree modified, passed the last legislature by a large vote and was promptly signed by the governor. The endorsement of the bar association and the modification of the act in addition to the intensive educational campaign sponsored by most of the women' organizations of the state, no doubt account for the lessening of what was formerly very strong opposition. While the act will, of course, make some changes in the financial marital relation, there is no reason to believe that it will not work out as satisfactorily in California as in other states where similar provisions prevail. The dire results prophesied if the act should carry will probably no more materialize than equally dire predictions made regarding every piece of progressive legislation that is in force today.

ANAHEIM EUCALYPTUS WATER Synthetic chauffering is a "has been!" These deductions have been reached from recent investigations conducted by the safety and touring bureaus of the Automobile Club of Southern California. There was a time, it is pointed out, when to operate a car in a hard-boiled and defiant manner—taking the right of way regardless of the rights of others, breaking through traffic at every opportunity, and cutting out—was considered not only smart but very stylish. Now automobile drivers are learning that the "smart" driver is one who drives courteously and observes the general traffic rules of his locality. It has been found out, says the auto club, that great speed can be made this way, fewer accidents result, and a better appetite is had for dinner. Under the skin, the majority of motorists are really becoming soft-boiled. They are allowing their kind hearts to be uppermost while driving their cars and are becoming more considerate of others. Synthetic or "diluted" driving of motor cars is largely giving way to experienced operation of automobiles. There are fewer bone-head operators because the majority of potential auto owners have passed through the kindergarten stage of motoring and have settled down to business-like driving. Weeks of investigation as to the cause of accidents on the part of the southern California club has resulted in the knowledge that the "hardest" driver is the newest driver. In other words, the owners of new automobiles are inclined to be more aggressive in boiling." AMERICANIZATION FOR AMERICANS National Civic Federation to Prepare Lectures That native born and bred Americans, as well as foreigners who become naturalized, may need instruction in the principles and practice of their own government, is recognized by the national civic federation, which is planning a series of lectures to be sent to co-operating organizations and societies, to inform the public on political and economic issues. The work will place material before the people through organizations willing to lend themselves to this undertaking, such as womens' clubs, D. A. R. chapters, American Legion posts, church and college clubs, teachers' associations, and labor, agricultural, commercial and bankers' organizations. Facts, statistics and lectures written by specialists will be furnished them. The program includes the following subjects: "Trusts," "Socialization of Basic Industries," "Government," "The Co-operative Movement," "Writs of Injunction in Labor Disputes," "Socialism and Bolshevism," "Free Speech and Free Assembly," "Immigration and Naturalization," "Industrial Arbitration." and "Party vs. Group Government." One who is all out of money is likely to think he "all in." HOW ABOUT SUGAR NOW? A New York paper which has editorially been blaming the tariff for high sugar prices reports in its news column that "under the influence of the sharp decline in British refined" the sugar market is in a depressed state. Why, what has Chairman Hull to say to this? He declares the Republican tariff boosted the price of sugar which went twenty times higher than the tariff increase. You may believe in letting well enough alone, but well enough never seems to be willing to let anybody alone. California Welding and Radiator Co.
