'Better Homes' Week Now Being Observed Civic Organizations Are Holding Appropriate Exercises "Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home." So runs the words of the old song; and not unmindful of the sentiment which the words express are those who are co-operating in the "Better Homes" Week which opened in this city Monday morning. Not only the sentiment of the old song but the fact that the American home is the foundation of our national well-being is being stressed by the leaders and speakers of the movement. Last week two local civic organizations, the Kiwanis Club and the Ebell Club held "Better Homes" programs. This week other civic organizations are dedicating meetings to the campaign. The local Rotary Club, at their Monday noon meeting, was addressed by the Rev. Walter Thornton of Fullerton, who said in part: "It is not the kind of a house you live in, but the kind of a man that you are that counts." Dr. Thornton, however, pointed out the kind of a house one lives in may have a large part to play in the character of its occupant, urging therefore that some attention be paid to making home a good place to live in. Wednesday, at their regular meeting the Anaheim Realty Board heard Judge J. S. Howard talk on the subject of "Better Homes." Judge Howard will also address the Lions Club on the same subject at tomorrow's meeting of the club. Today the Business and Professional Women's Club will have A. W. Ford of the Dieker Realty Company as the principal speaker at their meeting which will be dedicated to the discussion of better homes. The campaign has also been carried into the schools, where the slogan "Better Homes" has been made the subject of composition contests. Catherine Bode of the intermediate school in competition with 256 other children in the seventh and eighth grades, wrote the winning composition entitled "Better Homes." The three next best essays were written by Norma Palmer, Betty Williams and Charles. ANNUAL FLAG DAY SERVICE OBSERVED Exalted Ruler F. B. Callan of the Anaheim Elks has announced the appointment of a committee to arrange the program for the annual Flag Day celebration which will be observed by the Anaheim herd on June 8, Harry D. Liley is chairman of the committee, and will be assisted by Dr. J. G. Hillery, Raymond Nebolung, A. G. H. Osborne, Arthur Kelley, Elmer Gurley, Harry Easton and William Bielefeldt. William Jackson, who has for many years been chairman of the Flag Day program, will again be in charge and the program will be usual, be a public function to which every one is invited. Associated with Jackson will be Herman Stern, J. A. Clayes and Ralph McFadden. A special feature of the exercises will be the Flag Day essay contest for the school children of northern Orange county. There will be two classes, one for high school students and the other for grammar schools. Harry D. Liley is chairman of the committee in charge of this district. Cash prizes will be awarded to winners in each division, grammar schools will be awarded $10 for first and $5 for second. In the high school class the prizes will be $7 and $5. In addition the winners will either read or recite their prize winning essays at the Flag Day program. Y. M. C. A. MEETING R. C. Smedley of Santa Ana, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., was the principal speaker at a meeting of the local "Y" board, held in the Elks' clubhouse Monday night. An agreeable departure was instituted at the meeting, the wives of board members being invited to present. President E. C. Rundstrum presided and besides routine reports of the secretary, John H. Rudd, newly appointed department chairman, gave brief statements of the accomplishments of their committees thus far and their program for the future. Following are the chairmen who were present and took part in this discussion: Boys' work, M. E. Beebe; finance, F. N. Gibbs; house, Herman Lohr; religious work, Dr. H. A.

The three next best essays were written by Norma Palmer, Betty Williams and Charlie Strathman, and the essays of these latter, together with the winning composition, will be read at a special assembly in the intermediate school tomorrow morning. In addition a special "Better Homes" Week program featuring a reel of pictures on the subject and group singing of old-fashioned songs will be given at this time. A composition contest conducted a high school resulted in much interesting original work on the subject of "Better Homes," being turned in to the judges and the selection of one paper from each regular high school class and the five best from the commercial English department, as well as compositions. The winning students in this contest were as follows: Freshmen, Eleanor Palmer; sophomore, Helen Crafton; junior, Zuse Ochoa; senior, E. Wilbern and Commercial I., Marcia Klipper; Ella Bielefield, Gladys McWilliams and Booker Johnson. Swan Song Stirs Klansmen of Anhein (Continued from Page One) by our Constitution. He stood fearlessly and at great personal sacrifice for a broad Christianity, a tolerant religious view and for a 100 per cent Americanism and his ministry alone these lines will be an abiding influence for good in Anhein and vicinity. "The Plain Dealer now recognizes that it was wrong in representing that Dr. Gelssinger and the U.S.A. organization were working to restore liquor conditions in Anhein. Dr. Gelssinger insisted constantly when candidates were being sought that only bone dry men should be considered. The policy of the U.S.A. Club was to secure men who had been successful in their own affairs, men of sound business judgment and of Christian character. We gladly acknowledge that such men are now seated in our city council and this is due more largely to the stand taken by Dr. Gelssinger than by any other man's work. Dr. Gelssinger has met us more than half way from the beginning. We approached certain friends of Dr. Gelssinger as to the possibility of an out of court settlement and were told that such could be secured only by our making a clean bredst of the wrong we had done, by our payment of the costs of the case and the payment also of a fair damage. Dr. Gelssinger has waived all claim to financial reimbursement save that we have agreed to pay the instituted at the meeting, the wives of board members being invited to present. President E. C. Rundstrum presided and besides routine reports of the secretary, John H. Rudd, newly appointed department chairman, gave brief statements of the accomplishments of their committees thus far and their program for the future. Following are the chairmen who were present and took part in this discussion: Boys' work, M. E. Beebe; finance, F. N. Gibbs; house, Herman Loehr; religious work, Dr. H. A. Johnston; physical work, Charles Pearson; information service, Henson W. Faris, and woman's auxiliary, Mrs. F. N. Gibbs. EXAMS FOR OFFICERS Examinations of officers of infantry, California National Guard, will be conducted by a board of officers of which Colonel David P. Barrows, 159th infantry, C. N. G., of 2741 Gerber street, Berkeley, is president. Lieut-Col. Benjamin H. Pope, a regular army officer, on duty with the national guard at the armory, Fourteenth and Mission streets, San Francisco, and Major Jesse C. Edwards, Medical Corps, C. N. G., of 3120 Telegraph avenue, Berekely, are additional board members. The board will conduct its sitings at Oakland, Calif., on dates to be announced by the president. The examinations are being held by the board to determine the fitness of such national guard officers as may be ordered before it for permanent appointment, promotion, or federal recognition in the infantry branch of the California National Guard. It is announced that the government of Mexico is about to give the railroads back to private owners. Evidently the Mexican McAdoo didn't make good on the job either. CRIME ON THE FRONT PAGE The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania has made a survey of eight typical American newspapers in 1915 and in 1924-25, for five months in each year, measuring the space allotted to various classes of news. The classification is: Politics, foreign, police news (which includes the investigation of crime and criminal proceedings, as well as stories of crime itself), business, sports, science and arts, society, accident, religion and obituary. The report shows that the stories of politics and government occupy 38 per cent of the front page space; crime, 22 per cent; accidents, 14 per cent at the meeting, the wives of board members being invited to present. President E. C. Rundstrum presided and besides routine reports of the secretary, John H. Rudd, newly appointed department chairman, gave brief statements of the accomplishments of their committees thus far and their program for the future.

The preceding from an editor LIONS-BOY SCOUTS TO HELP AT ORANGE SHOW Members of the Lions' troop of Boy Scouts will co-operate with the local police in maintaining order at the California Valencia Orange Show. It was decided at the Friday night meeting of the troop, which was held, as usual, in Episcopal hall. C. H. Clark is scoutmaster in charge of this troop of boys. At the Friday night meeting Chief of Police Nichols was the guest of honor. In his talk to the boys he explained how boys may get in trouble with the law, even though they may have the best of intentions, and emphasized the importance of a boy choosing his associates with care. He also pointed out the advantages of respecting the rights of other people. The boys entertained their visitor with drills and stunts and displayed a proficiency that won hearty praise from the chief. Self-made men always say that they started at the bottom of the ladder. Have you ever heard of any sensible hod-carrier who started anywhere else? PUBLIC NOTICE The annual meeting of the Anahaim Cemetery Association will be held on May 23, 1925, at the office of H. V.

EDEN, Secretary. for five months in each year, measuring the space allotted to various classes of news. The classification is: Politics, foreign, police news (which includes the investigation of crime and criminal proceedings, as well as stories of crime itself), business, sports, science and arts, society, accident, religion and obituary. The report shows that the stories of politics and government occupy 38 per cent of the front page space; crime, 22 per cent; accidents, 14 per cent; business, 5 per cent; science and art, 3 per cent; society, religion, obituary and sport have less front page space, because this news in most papers is departmentalized. The front page space given to crime is less than it was 10 years ago, although there is more crime. The total space in the paper given to business, sport and society is in much larger proportion than the front page percentage. The newspaper published seeks to drive the space to news, of whatever character, that its public interest demands. There are, naturally, differences of opinion. The New York Times runs copiously to business, the World to religion, the Baltimore Sun to foreign affairs, the Kansas City Star to wheat. There is none that is seeking out crime that it may have the show window position. When a crime is, in the judgment of the editor, interesting enough it gets a place there.

There reats with the American Legion, in conjunction with governmental agencies, the major responsibility for the care and cure of the disabled men of the United States forces in the World War, and for the proper care, upbringing and education of the orphaned children of those who gave their lives in battle. This trust, imposed upon the Legion when it was chartered by the congress, September 16, 1919, was invited by the founders of the Legion, and is welcomed by every member of the Legion. President Coolidge in his message to congress, December, 1924, expressed his confidence in the American Legion as the chief and most representative organization of service men of the World War. The duty imposed by congress, the confidence expressed by the President, and the purpose deep rooted in the heart of every service man, have been met by a national organization of more than 11,000 posts located in practically every city and town in the nation. The active, working membership of the Legion today equals in numbers the total of mature, effective male population of the United States over which George Washington was president, and which hewed out a nation upon a raw continent. Its power for good is but beginning to be understood. That power is momentously enhanced by the American Legion auxiliary with 6400 units and a membership exceeding two hundred thousand women. During the first six years of reconstruction which have followed the World War, the very large responsibility for the disabled and the orphans has not been met by the Legion without assistance from other Americans. It could not have been met without help and it should not. The duty is one shared by every citizen, and claimed as the direct privilege of the Legion, because the comrades of those who gave most to their country are peculiarly equipped to perform this service. electricity, telephone and radio at anywhere near the American figure? Where can you travel for hundreds and thousands of miles on paved highways as you can in this country? Where else in the world is there as great a percentage of citizens who own their own farms and their own homes, as in America? Where are there as many newspapers, magazines and books printend? Where are there as many schools and colleges, churches and amusement places per capita of population? Where else in the world can you point to the rich man and the poor man each using all of the conveniences mentioned on a basis of equality, except in the United States? Have the American people the intelligence to look around and realize that right now they are in the midst of prosperous conditions? Have they learned from past experience that the "wolf cry" of the agitator has in 99 cases out of a hundred been for a selfish political purpose which cared little for the damage done to the country? The paragraph quoted contains the ingredients from which discontent can be brewed providing a credulous public will permit itself to be duped with this brand of bootleg reasoning. SHADOWS ON THE HORIZON It is as economically and basically sound that invested capital shall receive a fair wage as that labor shall receive a fair wage. The rate a railroad receives for hauling a ton of freight one mile is the equivalent of what labor receives for working a specified time. The right of one to a fair wage for performing that service is no greater nor more sacred than the other. Yet in the public regulation of rates and wages which in this sense are anonymous, this principle has CHURCH NOTICE Services of Maxwell's Spiritual church at Sycamore and Olive, Lecture and Messages Monday evenings at 7:30.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF OAK GROVE OIL COMPANY, A CORPORATION NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting of the stockholders of the OAK GROVE OIL COMPANY will be held at the office of the company, Room 131, Santa Rita Hotel, in the City of Tucson, Arizona, on the 23rd day of May, 1925, at the hour of 3 o'clock P.M., for the purpose of voting upon the question of extending the term of corporate duration of the OAK GROVE OIL COMPANY for the term of twenty-five years beyond the time specified in the original certificate of incorporation of sal. OAK GROVE OIL COMPANY, and to transact such other business and to do any and all acts necessary to extend the corporate existence of said corporation. Dated May 5, 1925. H. A. DICKEL, President. A. L. LEWIS, Secretary. SUMMONS C. C. P., Secs. 844-845 In the Justice's Court of Anaheim Township, County of Orange, State of California. During the first six years of reconstruction which have followed the World War, the very large responsibility for the disabled and the orphans has not been met by the Legion without assistance from other Americans. It could not have been met without help and it should not. The duty is one shared by every citizen, and claimed as the direct privilege of the Legion because the comrades of those who gave most to their country are peculiarly equipped to perform this service. The Legion has used freely its own financial resources, and has had from time to time the gifts of groups and individuals. At times it has borrowed money. At times it has seemed impossible to see the way clear for a week or a month ahead. The work has gone forward, but its financing can fairly be described only as "hand to mouth." Very clearly such a policy is neither adequate, just, nor economical. America's duty to the disabled and the orphans is only equaled by America's willingness to fulfill this duty to the utmost. To that end nothing can be left to chance. In realization of this fact, as shown by experience, the American Legion is now gaining an endowment fund of five millions dollars, of which the income (estimated at $225,000 yearly) will guarantee a solid financial basis in perpetuity for the programs of disabled men's rehabilitation and child welfare. The Legion is asking this endowment fund from its own members and the American public jointly. The Legion asks it confidently in the knowledge that it will be given, and that it will be backbone of the most important public service confronting the American people today. Each dollar accepted in this trust means a vital responsibility to the Legion and a permanent commitment of the Legion to this service and to other unselfish and public service. The sum total of the absolutely necessary financial endowment is relatively small. The extent of the spiritual endowment which goes with it is unlimited. BOOTLEG REASONING "Announcement of the sale of Dodge Brothers automobiles plants to a New York syndicate for $175,000,000 followed by purchase by British and Standard Oil interests of control in Doheny's oil companies for approximately $40,000,000 indicates that another era of big business mergers to create trusts and monopolies is impending. A new golden age is being inaugurated for the unscrewulous business adventurer, who is already cashing in on the stock and grain markets, and starting a clean-up in industrials." The preceding paragraph was taken from an editorial in a daily paper sound that invested capital shall receive a fair wage as that labor shall receive a fair wage. The rate a railroad receives for hauling a ton of freight one mile is the equivalent of what labor receives for working a specified time. The right of one to a fair wage for performing that service is no greater nor more sacred than the other. Yet in the public regulation of rates and wages which in this sense are synonymous, this principle has not been fairly followed. On the contrary, one public tribunal has reduced rates while another has increased wages—burning the candle at both ends. Already one of our largest transportation systems is in receivership, while the average return of practically all the railroads affords no inducement to investors to furnish capital to keep facilities abreast of the needs of commerce. The plight of the railroads is not of their making. The United States has the best and most efficiently operated railroads in the world. Railroad rates are lower and wages of railroad employees are higher than in any other country. Underlying, overlying and encompassing the whole situation is an orgy of increased taxation, increased wages and cost of material and supplies and decreased rates. We have even by taxation taken money from their treasury to build competitive agencies. The effect of such a policy will be disaster. It is seen in the receivership referred to and in the narrowing margin generally between earnings and expenses. In the Justice's Court of Anaheim Township, County of Orange, State of California.
