The models this Spr are perfect examples. By All Means Get a Fit. F. A. YUNGBLUTH Home of Hart Schaffner & M Clothes WHY NEGROS MIGRATE Representative negros of Mississippi tell the country why so many of their race are leaving the South. They feel that their life is insecure there and may be taken with impunity at any time upon the slightest pretext. They despair of obtaining their civic rights. They believe that the defeat of the Dyer anti-lynching bill shows that the South is committed to the persecution of lynch law and mob violence. Less than one dollar out of every twenty raised by taxation for school and other purposes benefits the negro. The tenancy laws are unjust to them. One white man's word is held to outweigh that of several dozen negroes of probity. They are excluded from jury service and all participation in the governments under which they live. The state of Mississippi sent more negro soldiers across the sea than whites, but the returning negroes find themselves utterly without voice in public affairs. These conditions are measurably true throughout the South and must be changed if the negroes are to be kept in the states of their birth. Born, on Saturday, and Mrs. R. L. Bower a daughter.

Suits travel the same road. A suit that was in storage when you were fishing this summer isn't going to be any kind of a catch-not even if the price is a bait. "New Suits" is our Battle Cry-because we haven't any leftovers to battle with. "STYLEPLUS" SUITS In a hundred different manners $30.00 to $45.00 The S.Q.R. Store ANAHEIM GAZETTE Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

Last week 25,000 of the white hooded gentry paraded at San Pedro, just to intimate to the wobblies, who are threatening dire things in the harbor district, that a lawless move on their part would be swiftly followed by retributive justice. The Klan will advance a step in the estimation of the people if it exterminates the I. W. W. Arthur L. Denning, of Anaheim, bought a dollar's worth of marks and received 3,608,940,342,448.

Walter Johnson, famous pitcher of the Washington American who is nearing the end of a long and brilliant career in the major leagues, may become the owner of a club in the proposed Southern California Class D baseball league. It was learned on good authority. Johnson wired Fred Clarke, former manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates and who is interested in one of the cities.

At that time a number of ranchers owning outlaying acreage succeeded in having their lands excluded and the district reduced in size. Two bids on the contract were opened Tuesday, the Los Angeles Paving company having submitted a bid of $89,900.

Arthur L. Denning, of Anaheim, bought a dollar's worth of marks and received 3,608,940,342,448. It would be interesting to know just how they arrived at the last nine figures. All of them together would not make 1-36th of a cent. And how could they calculate close enough to get the last three figures. In other words why 448 rather than 450 or 500, or any other number. The last three figures do not equal a one ten millionth part of a cent. The man who separated molecules into electrons must have been working on that job. A traveling merchant set up his stand on West Center street Saturday and displayed a large stock of German money which he offered for sale. A bill of 100,000 marks denomination sold for 15 cents, 250,000 marks for two bits, half a million marks for four bits, and a million for a dollar. He found many customers, many buying the paper to keep as a souvenir. Others, however, listened to his harangue and purchased because he assured them that as soon as Germany completed a loan from the United States for which it was now negotiating the German mark would be restored to its old-time value, and the man who held a few hundred thousand would find himself living on Easy street.

The flourishing condition of the banking industry has caused officials of the First National bank to seriously consider the matter of increasing the capital stock of the institution from $50,000 to $75,000; it is said.

OTHER PEOPLE'S TROUBLES Several day ago it was announced that Los Angeles county this year actual deficit, it is reported, in one of the building funds. Other public work feels the effect of this reduction in city revenues; a condition aggravated by the endeavor to meet legitimate demands from territory recently annexed. When the troubles of adjoining counties are made public, the citizens of Orange county must surely feel ashrough they are living in the Garden of Eden.

Los Angeles county's water conservation problems are far more serious than those in Orange county. The debts for Los Angeles county are reported to have taken a huge increase. The county, including its municipalities and school districts, will have a bonded indebtedness of approximately $225,000,000 if the bond issues proposed for early submission are approved by the voters. The present bonded indebtedness outside the city of Los Angeles aggregates $87,064,879, according to figures compiled in the office of H. A. Payne, county auditor. It is estimated the Los Angeles city bonded debt will aggregate not less than $65,000,000 as compared with $50,000,000 a year ago. In the city of Long Beach the oil income is nearly $100,000 behind the budget estimate as fixed by the city manager and council at the opening of the fiscal year, in July, 1923. In consequence, there has been a slowing down in municipal expenditures for permanent improvements, with an
