County Clerk Backs estimates that the registration in Anaheim for the general election will pass the 4000 mark. The registration in the county is expected to exceed Backs' estimate of 40,000. The city of Stanton is now considering disincorporation. Since Anaheim has built an outfall sewer and sold its sewer farm at Stanton, the menace of a septic tank in that peaceful community has been removed, consequently the people see no reason for maintaining a costly city government.

STORE The senior class play "The Thirteenth Chair," will be given at the high school auditorium Thursday and Friday nights of this week. The play has been directed and rehearsed by Miss Lucille Bickley, dramatic instructor, and the scenery and costumes were arranged by Mrs. Irene Swan. John Thomas, a negro, who was arrested by the Fullerton police a day or two ago on a vagrancy charge, told the judge that he was only "seeing Californny." This, he said, was the twentieth time he had been picked up by the police on his tour through the state, and he had about reached the conclusion that he wasn't wanted here. He got thirty days in the county jail. The report that quarantine guards were robbing autoists having reached the sheriff's office, Jack Meek, deputy sheriff, and Leo Krooner, inspection officer, concluded to do a little sleuthing Sunday night. While hiding in the bushes keeping tab on M. J. Ward of Orange, a quarantine officer, one of them was discovered by Ward, who fired at him. The Bullet passed through Meek's arm and lodged in a book of game laws which he carried in his pocket. One of the deplorable situations superinduced by the foot and mouth quarantine, has just come to light. It is reported that moonshine whiskey is getting scarce in the county owing to the inability of bootleggers to get past the quarantine officers with a cargo. The guards maintain that moonshine liquor is conducive to running off at the mouth, and if taken in large quantities also causes serious foot complications. Under this ruling all supplies are duly confiscated by guardians of the border. OF all-wool fabrics, fully tailored.

The Lions Club Saturday took out a permit to erect its fountain in Municipal Park, the cost being estimated at $2500. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bowen and two children of Long Beach, were visiting the latter part of the week at the home of Street Supervisor H. Bowen. L. H.

CHILD'S FUTURE DEPENDS UPON PRESENT HEALTH The child about to enter school should be made physically fit for the new life upon which he is about to enter. He will encounter new dangers in his contact with other children. Burdens will begin to gather on his young shoulders. Entering school is the beginning of the living of life and it is well that it should be so. However, he must be physically fit to carry the beginning loads that are placed upon him. Does he reflect the full physical vigor that is expected of him as an adult? Are his eyes, ears and teeth in good condition? Has he any physical defects such as faulty posture or malnutrition that may handicap his school progress and prevent his full development into the able-bodied adult of his generation? Will he be able, physically as well as mentally, to take his place in the conduct of future affairs of life? Now is the most important time of his life and the assurance of his physical preparation to enter school constitutes the most important duty of his parents. There are now many available opportunities for securing complete physical examinations of pre-school children, without cost. The State Department of Physical Education and the State Bureau of Child Hygiene have made arrangements with health centers, nurses, physicians and organizations, by means of which such examinations are given regularly in nearly every county of the state during the month of April 15th to May 15th. Now is a good time to make sure that every child in California is physically fit for the first grade. WATER BOARD MEETING The regular meeting of the Board of directors of the Anaheim Union was down about 170 feet. Upon motion a warrant was ordered drawn to J. C. Lamb, Tax Collector for $2369.26. THE CAPITOL CIRCUS The antics of Senator Wheeler in conducting the Daugherty investigation resemble nothing half so much as the star acrobatic feat of the circus solmnly paradied by the clown. The consequences may be wickedly and cruelly unfair to reputable citizens. But in themselves, considered as 'so many stunts, the Wheeler doings are seasonable and funny. Senator Walsh began his oil investigation in a far different fashion. He worked hard and marshaled his witnesses effectively. He uncovered the ugly looking record of Secretary Fall and was on the road to a serious examination of the merits of the oil leases when the lynching spirit ran away with his better judgment. Thereafter the oil investigation turned into melodrama and the country sat pop-eyed before secret ciphers while Senator Walsh peopled all Washington with Republican villains. The junior senator from Montana has adopted the heavy mystery of his senior colleague. He has taken over the false mustaches and the "Hist!" of Senator Walsh, so to speak. He would, if he could, continue the melodrama of the oil committee. But, unfortunately, everything turns to farce under his touch. His carefully culled witnesses, designed to establish another batch of Republican villains, turn out to be village gossips and what, in different days, were known as barroom orcles. The most gullible person would not heed them Albert Drake of La Habra, was killed while unloading pipe at Santa Fe Springs Friday. A large pipe roller over him crushing him to death. He was 21 years of age. The Golden State Bank is displaying photographs of the Anaheim high school senior class. It's a good looking bunch of young folks—especially the female half. The rainstorm yesterday morning added .41 of an inch to the season's precipitation according to G. W. Sandland's gauge, making the total 9.44. Last year at this date the measurement was 8.41. Valencia oranges are beginning to move out of Anaheim. The Anaheim Orange and Lemon Growers' Association shipped a car Monday, two cars Tuesday and three cars yesterday. The Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association is also making shipments this week. The Olive Investment Company, operating in the city of Olive, has applied to the Railroad Commission for permission to increase its water rates and to purchase and operate the water system of the Olive Milling Company. Dr. Geissinger, pastor of the White Temple church, is boasting that for the first time in the church's history the attendance at Sunday school reached 1000. This was the number in attendance last Sunday. For a year Dr. Geissinger and his aids have been endeavoring to reach the thousand mark. WATER BOARD MEETING The regular meeting of the Board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company was held Saturday with all members present at roll call. Ditch committee requested more time for bringing in a report on the proposed piping of the cement ditch on South Nursery avenue. The Oil committee reported on the investigation they have made of sump hole drainage from oil companies near the La Habra reservoir site. Attorney Head read a communication he had received from P. H. Krick regarding the removal of a fence from the company's right-of-way. Oil production report from the Amalgamated Oil Company and St. Helen's Petroleum Company were read and ordered filed. A communication was read from the Placentia Orange Growers Association requesting that this company appoint a committee to investigate the feasibility of developing a mutual power project. It was moved by Thamer, seconded by Tuffree that the chairman appoint a committee to meet with representatives of the Placentia Orange Growers Association, and others, to make this investigation. President Hale appointed directors Thamer, Annu, and Rust and Superintendent Wallop on the committee. Superintendent reoptred that the well on the Yorba Cemetery Tract which such examinations are given regularly in nearly every county of the state during the month of April 15th to May 15th. Now is a good time to make sure that every child in California is physically fit for the first grade. Seriousness is of the essence of good clowning and Senator Wheeler by taking his absurd and incredible witnesses seriously has added the immortal touch to the scene. The Daugherty investigation is the official name of the business. But the evidence, such as it is, has never got within miles of its destination. A district attorney would not give it office room. What one witness of no credibility heard another witness of no credibility say has brought Senator Wheeler up standing with a thruphant "Aha!"—amid the laughter of the public. If Senator Walsh succeeded in proving for all time how unfair a senator o fthe United States could be, Senator Wheeler has at least surpassed him in demonstrating how ridiculous a senator of the United States can be. WE'LL FALL IN LINE Marshal Hale, president of the League of Cooldidge Republican Clubs of California and chairman of the Cimmittee of Five in charge of the President's California campaign, returned home today on the Overland after a flying trip to Europe on business connected with his firm.

"In the East there is absolutely no question of President Coolidge's renomination and election," declared the Republican leader. "The scandals that have rocked Washington and shocked the nation have left him absolutely unscathar. He is regarded as the ideal type of outstanding American who has met every situation with courageous and just determination. "I talked with Mr. James Good at Chicago, who, with Mr. Butler, has charge of the President's pre-convention activities. He expressed interest in the California result and predicted that the same vote of confidence given the President in other states would be given him here. From reports that reached me on my trip from headquarters here, I am inclined to believe that California will do just that. "We must guard against over-confidence. Every Coolidge supporter must vote and see that all other friends and neighbors who are for Coolidge do so likewise." THE GREATER CALAMITY If somebody had stolen both the Teapot Dome and the Elk Hills oil lands some dark night, run away with them and given them to Japan or Great Britain, it would not have done so much harm to the United States as the investigation which has been carried on by the senate. That is not because investigation is wrong; it is because of the way the investigation was carried on. If you wish to attain the ends of justice you must have some one of a judicial mind. No particular justice methods. The business world of America is the most honest, open, sound and sane in the world. The idea that big business in America is essentially corrupt is about as wicked and poisonous an idea as can be found. The effect of the disgraceful manner in which the oil scandals have been handled has been to propagate this septic idea. The strange part of the whole business is that most of the senators who have been besmirching honorable names right and left are themselves gentlemen and anywhere else than in the field of partisanship would engage in no such antics. Yet, under our glorious party system we cast suspicion first and afterward search for proof. We spatter scandal and broadcast hearsay and gossip, we destroy reputations, we clog prosperity, we ruin the moral influence of America in the world, all because we want to obtain political advantage for our party in the next election. It would be difficult to find any citizen of the United States who is not in favor of the trial and punishment of every guilty person involved in the oil scandal. Nobody wants the affair hushed up nor wants any wrong doer whitewashed. But it would seem that there should be some sort of tribunal in the country capable of accomplishing swift and stern justice without shooting up all the bystanders. was taken over and the "Hist!" to speak.

It would not have done so much harm to the United States as the investigation which has been carried on by the senate. That is not because investigation is wrong; it is because of the way the investigation was carried on. If you wish to attain the ends of justice you must have some one of a judicial mind. No particular justice emerges from a dog fight. If it is justice you are after you must first establish your facts. If those facts prove that certain men were guilty of crime, no consideration of reputation or high office should interfere with the business of making those persons suffer the consequences of their evil deeds. Justice is careful, swift and relentless; but all through the conducting of this matter by the senate the manifest object sought was not justice but political advantage. Throughout the whole discussion there were constant charges that whatever evil had been done was the work of the Republican party or the Democratic party. Of course nobody but a mattold believes any such thing. If there was crime it was personal. Bad and foolish as political parties are, none of them is so unintelligent as to propose and deliberately carry out crime. Individuals do such things, sometimes, of course, making use of party machinery. The oil scandals have done incurable harm to businesses for they have spread uncertainty. The very devil of business is doubt. The oil scandals have been published in every newspaper in Europe and have created a wholly false impression of American business men and
