Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR.....$1.50 SIX MONTHS .....$1.00 THREE MONTHS .....$.50 Entered at the Anahelm Postoffice at second-class matter GET THE FACTS—ALL THE FACTS Advocates of public ownership in the United States have been using the publicly owned hydro-electric plant of the province of Ontario, Canada, as the basis for arguments to show that the United States, by failure to adopt the Canadian policy of government ownership, is preventing the people of this nation from enjoying the greatest benefits and advantages to be derived from hydro-electric power. The Canadian public ownership scheme has been used as the basis of arguments to launch the taxpayer of California, Washington, Oregon and the government itself on great public ownership undertakings, which in the aggregate would have involve expenditures running into billions of dollars with absolutely no facts to show that the ultimate cost of power developed in such a manner would be cheap, let alone cheaper, than the excellent service now rendered by private companies. Political promises and political statements do not generate power nor do they pay the bill taxes. The nation has been awakened to In the aggregate would have involve expenditures running into billions of dollars with absolutely no facts to show that the ultimate cost of power developed in such a manner would be cheap, let alone cheaper, than the excellent service now rendered by private companies. Political promises and political statements do not generate power nor do they pay the bills taxes. The nation has been awakened to the fallacies of campaign statements relating to the Ontario hydro project by a recent report of the Smithsonian Institute on "Niagara Falls and Its Power Possibilities." In answer to the question, "Is Ontario, with its publicly owned hydro-electric plant so much better off than New York, its neighbor across the river?" Samuel S. Wyer, who prepared the Smithsonian report, summarized his finding briefly in The Nation's Business He said: "The Ontario government owned electric plant is selling current cheaper than its neighbor company in New York, but— "It is selling more cheaply only to domestic consumers, who get it below cost. "It is charging more to industrial users than the companies in the United States. "It is exempt from taxation. "It is directly subsidized by the province treasury. "It is providing no proper sinking fund." In other words, Ontario is robbing the industrial Peter to pay the domestic Paul. Moreover, it is putting off the inevitable day when the bill for construction and upkeep must be met says the editor of The Nation's Business. GROCERS TO MEET Dieticians, chefs, housewives and home economic experts, as well as everyone who enjoys sitting at the dining table, will find a pleasurable event arranged for them when the Southern California Retail Grocers' Association opens the Second Annual Food and Household Show on April 11 in the new spacious Ambassador auditorium, adjoining the Ambassador Hotel. The show will continue until April 19. Designed primarily to demonstrate the latest fads in food, the show will be heavily impregnated, it is announced, with educational features. 65 years, the first specimens being introduced in 1860 or thereabouts Today between 60 and 70 species of eucalypti are to be found within the borders of the commonwealth, but only four have proved of value, and these constitute about 99 per cent of the entire growth. These four principal species are the blue gum, which bulks 80 per cent of all the genus in California; the gray gum and red gum, which between them comprise 15 per cent, and the sugar gum 4 per cent. The blue gum is found principally in the coast regions, the gray and red-gums chiefly in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys and the valleys of Southern California, and the sugar gum exclusively in this section south of the Tehachapi, as it will not resist frost. The eucalypti are indigenous to Australia and Tasmania, where attain a height of 250 feet. Practically all the growth in that part of the world is virgin forest. Like many other trees, they do not grow so tall when cultivated or in successive growths under the care of man. The period of 1900-10 was one of great activity in the development of the eucalyptus in California. It was believed that the rapid depletion of the hardwoods in the Mississippi valley would cause an early market for eucalyptus to take its place. Experiments, however, have not produced satisfactory lumber so far, as the trees are young and what is known as "sapwood," and the curing of the timber causes it to warp and crack. The principal use to which the California eucalyptus is put, aside from its utilization as a highway or shade tree, is fuel. The wood burns brightly and imparts a delightful fragrance to the house when burned in an open fireplace. It must be sawed and split while green, as it acquires excessive toughness when dry. The wood also produces an excellent grade of charcoal, better than that from most native California woods.

The show will continue until April 19. Designed primarily to demonstrate the latest fads in food, the show will be heavily impregnated, it is announced, with educational features. Outstanding among these will be lectures delivered daily in the Ambassador theatre by a coterie of nationally known authorities on diets, menus and housekeeping. A super-mothers' contest, conducted by the California Dairy Council, to ascertain the most perfect mother in the Southland, promises to be a feature. Registrants now are writing the council at 1028 Pacific Finance building, this city, for entrance blanks. S. M. White, president of the local grocers' association, forecasts that the show will be the greatest ever staged here. He bases his prediction on educational and constructive features which, for the first time in the history of local food shows, will take higher rank than mere displays of grocery products. Numerous household articles, including furniture, porcelainware, kitchen appliances and musical instruments also will be included in the exhibits, thus establishing the show. It was pointed out, as being an event which will hold the interest of every home-maker. OUR EUCALYPTI In practically all literature of the present day dealing with California, the abundant growth of the eucalyptus trees is featured; and yet the life of this genus in this state is only about The principal use to which the California eucalyptus is put, aside from its utilization as a highway or shade tree, is fuel. The wood burns brightly and imparts a delightful fragrance to the house when burned in an open fireplace. It must be sawed and split while green, as it acquires excessive toughness when dry. The wood also produces an excellent grade of charcoal, better than that from most native California woods. Among the miscellaneous uses to which the wood is put are insulator pins for use by power companies, toy parts, tool handles, paving blocks, posts, piles and piling. In all these but the first, however, its use is still in the experimental stage. So far it has been impossible to extract a satisfactory oil from California eucalyptus trees that could compete in price with that imported from Australia. The rapid growth of the eucalyptus makes it a desirable tree to grow and the future will see many more uses developed by science, aside from the ever present elements of shade and ornamentation. The California State College of Agriculture at Berkeley has issued a very interesting bulletin giving many facts about the eucalyptus as evolved in its 65 years' history in this state. PARENT COMPANY NOW FORTY YEARS OLD The American Telephone and Telegraph Company is this year celebrating its fortyth corporate anniversary. In writing its certificate of incorporation 40 years ago, the organizers used some phrases which, in the light of later developments, seem strikingly prophetic. The anniversary being celebrated throughout the Bell system this year served to give point to timber causes it to warp and crack.

FOR TOURIST TRAILS AGAIN BY SATTERFIELD NOTICE OF CONSTABLE'S SALE To Whom It May Concern: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Friday, the 20th day of March, 1925, at the hour of 10 o'clock in the forenoon of said day, at the premises of West Bros., southwest corner South Los Angeles Street and Chestnut Street, in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, the undersigned will sell at public auction the following described personal property, to-wit: 1.

The purpose of the organization is significantly stated in the certificate to be: "To connect one or more points in each and every city, town, or place in the state of New York with one or more points in each and every other city, town, or place in said state, and in each and every other of the United States, and in Canada and Mexico; and each and every of said cities, towns and places is to be connected with each and every other city, town or place in said United States and bordering countries, and also by cable and other appropriate means with the best of the known world." It was to meet the demand for such a unified service nationwide in scope that on February 28, 1885, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company was founded. For the first 14 years of its existence it was distinctly the telephone company of the long lines, but in 1899, it took over the central functions of the American Bell Telephone Company, since which time it has acted as the central organization of the Bell system, in addition to operating long distance traffic over the long lines. CAMPAIGN TO COMBAT FORGING OF CHECKS Enormous losses suffered by business men and the public through check forgeries have caused the American Bankers' Association to start a national campaign of instruction for bankers and depositors in methods of combating forgers. The 22,000 members of the association, who have millions of customers on their books, have been provided with a code of precautions for themselves and their depositors in the use of checks, and the protection of theirings and instructions to their depositors. Several hundred thousands have been reached by this plan, which amounts to mustering a great citizen army against the crooks." THE GREAT DIVIDE" ONE OF YEAR'S BIGGEST FILMS Reginald Barker directed "The Great Divide," which comes to the California theatre for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, with a special vaudeville act. It is one of the outstanding successes of the American stage and is one of the largest productions on the 1924-25 Metro-Goldwyn program. The picture for the most part was filmed in Arizona, the locale of the romance. Mr. Barker was particularly pleased with the assignment, for he was stage director for Henry Miller when the latter triumphed in the William Vaughn Moody play, and ever since he entered motion pictures he has wanted to present it on the screen. After considering a number of prominent men and women for the two leading roles, Alice Terry and Conway Tearle were selected. They represent the ideal types for the roles of Ruth Jordon and Stephen Ghent, and are worthy of carrying successfully two such prominent and significant parts. THE SPEED SPOOK" AND VAUDEVILLE AT CALIFORNIA "La Verne and His Seven Synco-pators" is the feature act in the five-act vaudeville road show which comes to the California theatre for Friday and Saturday, in conjunction with Johnny Hines in "The Speed Spook." Pathos, pep and politics are the ingredients that make "The Speed Spook," with Johnny Hines, a most enjoyable production. Pathos at its best is shown in the struggle of the girl to make a success of a man's job; pep just dominates the entire picture with its breezy star, its exciting auto- Enormous losses suffered by business men and the public through check forgery have caused the American Bankers' Association to start a national campaign of instruction for bankers and depositors in methods of combating forgers. The 22,000 members of the association, who have millions of customers on their books, have been provided with a code of precautions for themselves and their depositors in the use of checks, and the protection of their bank signatures. It is hoped that this will help in curbing the "paper-hangers," as check crooks are called. William E. Knox, president of the association, in making the announcement said: "Forgeries, check alterations and the negotiation of bogus paper are primarily crimes of opportunity. The criminal's opportunity arises from cautious practices by bank customers and bank people. We are aiming to do away with such practices. A great proportion of loss is preventable. Greater attention to seemingly unimportant details and strict adherence to rules against honoring checks for strangers without proper identification are imperative." James E. Baum, in charge of the association's protective activities, said that of the $100,000,000 lost annually through fraudulent check operations, 99 per cent is due to the willingness of individuals and business firms to accept checks from strangers and rely on insurance to avoid loss. He added: "Reports to the protective department from its investigators and bank members of the association indicate an increasing activity of check operators. The association is urging bankers to drill their depositors in the preventive measure we have drawn up.

Pathos, pep and politics are the ingredients that make "The Speed Spook," with Johnny Hines, a most enjoyable production. Pathos at its best is shown in the struggle of the girl to make a success of a man's job; pep just dominates the entire picture with its breezy star, its exciting automobile race, and the sequence, showing an army tank ploughing through an arsenal wall; and politics, wherein Johnny does a bit of original electionering to elect his sweetheart's father to the sheriff's office. Nephew—Uncle, does father like to watch you play football? Everard—What an idea! I don't play football. Nephew—Well, I heard father say that whenever you kicked off, he'd quit working. WHY SHE MARRIED "Darling, I never dared hope you would accept me," said he on their honeymoon. "I'll explain;" returned the wife. "I consulted a fortune teller and she told me that my second marriage would make me very happy and wealthy, so of course I wanted to get my first marriage over as soon as I could." Too Much Co-operation "I'm going to fire that proofreader," said the editor. "Why?" asked the assistant editor. "Why, he's in the habit of letting funny mistakes go through and then bringing them to the columnist's attention."

Mr. John Wick, of Monomoe Falls, Wisconsin, did not and is a well man today. In September, 1918, he wrote: "I have been a user of Pe-ru-na for nearly twenty years. I had catarrh of the stomach for ten years. Nothing did me any good. I grew worse until a friend advised me to try Pe-ru-na. While using the first bottle, I felt I had found the right medicine. I am entirely cured. My weight was down to 135 pounds and now I weigh 195 pounds. I have used very little medicine for the last ten years." The condition known as catarrh is not confined to the nose and throat. It may be found wherever there are mucous membranes and responsible for a multitude of troubles. Coughs and colds are catarrh as well as stomach and bowel disorders. Do as John Wick did Keep Pe-ru-na in the house. It stimulates digestion, aids in throwing off the poisonous secretions, enriches the blood, increases the resistance to disease and promotes good health generally. Insist upon having genuine Pe-ru-na tablet or liquid container has it. April to September are saving months—or should be in every home in the land.
