IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of Sept. 20, 1873. Menzel will receive on the next steamer some fine hams, herring and cheese. It is expected that the walls of the Odd Follows' building will be completed today. A new paper to be called the Herald will soon be published in Los Angeles. Pete Richards has sold to a gentleman in Los Nietos one of his billiard tables. An elegant new one will soon take its place. While Dr. Gardiner was making a visit to the upper Santa Ana, on last Thursday, his team become frightened and broke the ropes with which they were hitched. After a mad gallop of about five miles, they were brought to a standstill by a vaquero. Strange to say, neither the horses nor buggy wee injured in the least. On Thursday last telegraphic communication was established between Anaheim and San Bernardino. At 7:30 p.m. the first message was sent over the line by P. A. Clark. Several congratulatory telegrams were exchanged between the clitzens of Anaheim and San Bernardino. Yesterday outskirts of the town, and headed by the Los Angeles band, will march through the streets to Enterprise hall, where they will fraternize with hall, where they will fraternize with the Anaheim verein. In the evening the members will give a dramatic performance, after which there will be a dance. By a strange coincidence, Conrad has just completed brewing an extra quantity of beer. On last Sunday morning a Mexican strolling on the beach at the Landing came upon a bottle borne on the crest of fa wave within his reach, which he opened in the saloon of Evers and classen in the presence of a number of men congregated there, and found enclosed a note, of which the following as a copy: "Miss Mary H. Mathews, Daniel Garner, Miss Mary Garner, George Rose. All drowned at the time they were taking a pleasure trip on the coast, their boat sunk and the screams that rose filled my heart with woe. I have to stop and prepare to die. Good-bye." The original of the note is in our possession, but we have no means of ascertain whether the disaster implied in the note really happened or whether it is a joke launched by some fun-loving party at some far off sea side retreat.

At 7:30 p.m. the first message was sent over the line by P.A. Clark. Several congratulatory telegrams were exchanged between the clitizens of Anaheim and San Bernardino. Yesterday the line was in constant communication. Ladies' Social Club—The next entertainment of this festive organization will be given on Wednesday evening at Enterprise hall. The program is made up of tableaux, vocal and instrumental music. They will even invade the domain of negro minstrelsy, two adepts in the burnt-cork business having kindly volunteered. A camp meeting will be held by the Mthodist E. church south, for the Santa Ana circuit, beginning on the 26th inst. The camp meeting will be on the Santa Ana river, near the road leading from the town of Santa Ana to Anaheim Landing, about twelve miles west of Santa Ana and six miles south of Anaheim. There will be a tent where those who prefer it, can board at one dollar a day or five dollars a week. There will also be a hay yard, where horses can be attended at a reasonable price. Mr. Parker presented to us a few days ago a beautiful compact bunch of grapes of the Muscatel variety, weighing over two pounds, grown on vines planted in his vineyard last year. We devoured it in a very few minutes. J.B. Raine also brought to our sanctum another specimen of our agricultural capabilities. It was a sweet potato weighing six pounds, which we also devoured. On tomorrow Anaheim will be invaded by forty members of the Los Angeles Turnverein. They will probably arrive about 11 a.m., and the program will be about as follows: They will form in procession at the PLANS ANNOUNCED FOR THE MONSTER REUNION Men of the 91st Division Will Gather at Los Angeles have offered their services to show the men their appreciation for the service they rendered.

On Wednesday last as Mrs. Parker was alighting from her carriage, one of the horses became frightened and began to kick and plunge. Mrs. Parker received a vicious kick, which knocked her down. We are glad to learn that no other result than a few days' lameness will follow the accident. Extract from our Westminster correspondnet: The people of Westminster are heartily in favor of county division and will work for it, with all the strength they have. We judge that a majority, if not all, of the voters here are in favor of having the county seat in Anaheim, as we feel that her interests are ours, but we feel that Anaheim made a great mistake in allowing a portion of her school district to be formed into a new district. Time will demonstrate that it would have been better to organize a primary suburban school or schools wherever they may be necessary. Anaheim should build an elegant new school house, well equipped with all things found in a well appointed school with room for all new comers. As soon as possible a high school should be organized. Another thing: Inducements should immediately be given to attract parties to institute a college or first class boarding school. Perhaps, owing to the partial failure of the crops, it is premature to agitate this question, nevertheless, keep it before the people.

PLANS ANNOUNCED FOR THE MONSTER REUNION Men of the 91st Division Will Gather at Los Angeles Captain Walter Brinkop, of Los Angeles, formerly machine gun officer of the 364th infantry, 91st division, and president of the 91st division association of southern California has announced plans for a monster get-together reunion of all the wild west division when who reside in southern California. Meeting at the athletic club in Los Angeles on the evening of the 26th of September, the anniversary of the "jump-off" in the Argonne offensive which resulted in the routing of the German armies, the boys of the famous 91st division will gather around the banquet table and renew old friendships and fight the war over again. In announcing the reunion Brinkop said: "The 91st division was the only California outfit to really get into the thickest part of the fighting during the late was as a unit. The men from southern California covered themselves with glory and added luster to the fame of the Golden state. This reunion is an annual affair and each year we meet to talk over old times and to plan wherein we can be of continued service to the country. This year we have arranaged a most entertaining program. In addition to a wonderful banquet, there will be a fight card hard to equal, and entertainers of nation-wide repute who have offered their services to show the men their appreciation for the service they rendered. "Those who wish to attend should send in their names to Clifford Hughes at 416 A. G. Bartlett building. Los Angeles, as the accommodations are limited and its a case of first come first served. "We always hold our reunions on the 26th of September, because on that day began the great battle of the Argonne in which the 91st division held the center of the line and forced the German armies back farther than at any point on the American front. It is a date we all will always remember." THE FARMERS' PROBLEM IS TRANSPORTATION The Relation Shown Between Bread and Roads Senator Arthur Capper, Kansas farmer, who, if anyone, should know the facts about the farms, says that transportation is the greatest problem the United States has to solve. The senator not only says it, but proves it I na few words. He says: "In Kaansas today the farmer has to pay 22 cents a bushel for shipping his wheat to Chicago. He gets about $1.25 for it there, allowing him something like 80 cents a bushel for wheat which really means a loss of about 40 cents on every bushel grown and sold at that rate. The railroads, meantime are getting twice as much for freight as they did five years ago when tho farmer was selling his wheat for $2.26. "Today the situation is -10-cent broad or higher for the consumer, while the farmer, the producer, gets but 80 cents of the wheat which costs him not less than $1.20 to grow. The same situation prevails, of course, in the beef industry. The railroads get high freight rates, while the grower gets a minimum. "The people of this country are being brought to see that basically, if this country is to enjoy stable prosperity the condition of the farmer must be better than it is now. There is no gifting away from the age-old truth that 'As for the earth, out of it cometh forth bread'." When every trunk line railroad is paralleled by a broad, smooth, well graded national highway, strong enough to support trucks of five or even ten ton capacity, the railroads will not get 22 cents a bushel to take wheat from Kansas to Chicago! The transportation problem neither begins nor ends with railroads. The highway problem daily becomes more and more vital. The making of automobiles is today a larger industry than the running of railroads; making of roads for automobiles and trucks is inevitably to become the greatest single industry of the country. When it has been so long enough to provide three hundred thousand miles of high-grade roads (about the railroad mileage of the nation) there will no longer be an acute transportation problem. 3UPERVISORS' PROCCEDINGS Petition of W. F. Montgomery et al to vacate that certain alloy in the fifth road district, was continued to September 25 at 1:04 a.m. buying when the Republican tariff law of 1909 was in operation (the Payne law). The duty on his shirt is somewhat less under the present law than it was in 1909, and the duty on wool generally is lower under the Fordney-McCumber law than it was under the Payne law. Shoes under the Payne law paid a duty of 15 per cent. They are free under the present law. Overalls were 50 per cent under the Payne law. They are 35 per cent under the present law. The work socks, probably of cotton, pay a far lower duty under the Fordney-McCumber law than they did under the Payne law. Agricultural machinery and implements which paid a duty of from 15 to 45 per cent under the Payne law, are free under the present law, except for one or two items. The other day the census bureau published a summary of its census of manufactures for the United States, 1921. Among other matters of interest it was noted that in 1914 there were 177,109 manufacturing establishments employing 7,858,723 salaried employees and wage earners, salaries and wages that year totaling $5,342,157,000. In 1821 there were 196,267 establishments employing $9,084,505 salaried employees and wage earners to whom was paid an aggregate of $10,765,442,000. Here we have less than a three per cent increase in the number of employees and over 100 per cent increase in the amount paid out in salaries and wages. The per capita earnings of these employees was in 1914 about $680. In 1921 it was $1332. But 1921 was considered a poor year and there was a great deal of part-time work. The wages paid now are higher than they were then and there are more jobs than men. That fact is vouched for by the movement of help from farm to factory. and scorns impartial inquiry. The Italian government makes itself witness, judge, jury and sheriff, and proceeds to impose punishment and collect damages after the well remembered manner of the Hapsburgs and Hohenzollerns who plunged Europe into the late war. Most of the civilized world has no great friendliness for Greece, because of her betrayal of the allies in the world war and her erratic conduct since. The present Greek government has poor moral and diplomatic standing. But right is right, regardless of such considerations, and aggression like that undertaken by Mussolini threatens the whole structure of fair and lawful dealing which the allies particularly have labored to build up. Therefore it threatens the peace of Europe and the welfare of all the world. If Mussolini continues his bull-headed conduct, he may invite curbing as Napoleon did a century ago—and get it as Napoleon did, at great cost to everybody concerned. The youth who is looking for a soft snap will always be in hard lines. To know how good a cigarette really can be made you must try a 3UPERVISORS' PROCCEDINGS Petition of W. F.

NOTICE PRICES AND WAGES An exchange prints some interesting figures showing what the farmers bushel of wheat at 76 cents would purchase in 1912 and what, at the 80 cents he receives or it, it will buy today. For example, it says: "He bought a heavy weight buffalo flannel shirt in 1912 for two and one-half bushels of wheat; today he pays five bushels. He bought a pair of heavy work shoes in 1912 for four bushels of wheat; today they cost him five bushels. He bought a pair of overalls in 1912 for anywhere from a bushel of wheat to half a bushel; today they cost him more than two and one-half bushels. Four pound all wool blankets, 60 by 80 inches, cost the farmer 7.6 bushels of wheat a pair in 1912; their present price is 10.3 bushels. The farmer could buy a dozen pairs of work socks in 1912 for 1.2 bushels of wheat; today he has to lay out 2.6 bushels. When it comes to farm machinery and implements the wheat farmer has not made any better than he has with his clothes." The farmer who bought in 1912 was large, which will be augmented this division by the county and city squads of Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the city squads of Diego, Fresno, Stockton and Sacramento. Glaring headlights, lights out of focus, single lights, on automobiles, tail lights out, and excessive candle-power globes will receive attention in the first drive. Approximately 200 official headlight adjusting stations have been established in the 30 counties of the state in which traffic officers have been appointed, lists of the official stations will be in the hands of the respective county captains before the drive is started. Automobile clubs and individual motorists are urged to assist in this movement to the end that night driving may be made safe. MUSSOLINI AND THE FUTURE The most critical question in Europe just now seems to be whether Benito Mussolini, premier of Italy, is bigger than the rest of the continent or the rest of the world. Mussolini's truculent attitude toward Greece is generally condemned outside of his own country. The almost universal view is that the murder of the Italian members of the Albanian frontier commission, on which the Italian government based its war-like action, was not committed by direction or connivance of the Greek government, and therefore Greece should not be held responsible for it—at least until guilt is proved. Greece has pleaded for impartial inquiry and settlement by arbitration, promising to make whatever reparation is pronounced just. She is willing for the league of nations any other disinterested body to pronounce judgment. Italy refuses arbitration. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my official seal the day and year in this certificate first above written. G. B. BROWN, Notary Public in and for said Clunty and State.
