Although the Kiwanians were sponsors for the affair, the toastmaster proved himself a broad-minded man, and did not confine himself in the selection of speakers to that order. Members of the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, the Lions' Club and the Knights of Columbus were called upon, and each spoke in terms of high praise of Dr. Geissinger, who for the past five years has been active in the affairs of Anaheim. Members of all churches were among the speakers, and although Dr. Geissinger has for five years been pastor of the White Temple Methodist church, the speakers all recognized him as a man superior to denominational prejudices—a citizen who by his works commanded the respect and esteem of all right-minded people. Among those who spoke were: George W. Reid, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce; Ernest Ganahl, who spoke for the Knights of Columbus, and R. B. Young, who represented the Kiwanis Club. Tom McFadden made a stirring address, in which he paid a tribute to the courage and vision of Dr. Geissinger and to the results accomplished by him during his life in Anaheim. He referred to Dr. Geissinger as the greatest citizen Anaheim has produced in the past five years and predicted a brilliant future for him in his future work. At the conclusion of his address, Mr. McFadden presented Dr. Geissinger with a beautiful watch, the gift of the community, and in his brief presentation remarks expressed the wish that as the ticking of the wootch continued they would each carry a message of love and friendship from Anaheim. Dr. Geissinger expressed his appreciation for the reception accorded him, and in his talk he dwelt at length on his experiences in this city and his hopes for the future. He also spoke of the duty of Americans toward their community and towards their fellowman. He urged his hearers always to strive for fairness and justice, and expressed the hope that each would always do his or her part in the advancement of every worthy movement in community life. The departing churchman told something of his experiences at the recent conference and of the opportunities he will have for service in his new duties. In concluding, he spoke feelingly of the warm friendships which he declared he has formed in Anaheim and he issued an invitation to all of his friends to visit him at his new pastorate, where he assured them the latch-string would ever be open. For the past five years Dr. Geissinger has been pastor of the White Temple Methodist church, and while he considered that his first duty was owing to his congregation, he also believed that a minister should take an active interest—in civic affairs; consequently, he was always ready to buckle on his Charlie Landell In Town Again Finds Few Old-Time Friends; Sees Many Improvements Here Charlie Landell dropped into town yesterday afternoon, after an absence of more than 20 years, and walked up and downa principal streets of town several times without meeting a man or woman whom he knew. He was greatly impressed with the splendid improvements hereabouts, but said that he regretted very much not being able to find any of his old-time friends. Charlie is the son of Judge and Mrs. J. W. Landell, pioneer residents of the Centralla section, and is a brother of Justice John W. Landell of the Supreme court of San Juan Capitrano. He is just back from a tour of the eastern states. He is in the wholesale cheese business in Los Angeles, and sells this delicious article of diet throughout Southern California, including the stores of this city. Several times he said that he was very sorry not to find any of his old friends here, but he said he thought he recognized Frank Dyer through his window, and was going back to hunt him up and talk with him. His aunt, Mrs. Shoemaker, still lives at the family home at St. James Park, Los Angeles, and is well remembered here by her many old-time friends and associates. Airplane Race From Brea to Newport Bay Orange county's first air meet is scheduled for Brea, Saturday, October 31, beginning at 11 a.m. In planning for this novel event, the Brea citizens have organized an Aero Club, which already has 45 members, said to be the largest, as well as the first club of aviation enthusiasts in Orange county. One of the events of the celebration will be the airline race from Brea to Newport Harbor, for which the city of Newport Beach will offer the trophy. In an air line, the distance from Newport Harbor to Brea is about twenty miles, and the round trip will be made in record time.

In concluding, he spoke feelingly of the warm friendships which he declared he has formed in Anaheim and he issued an invitation to all of his friends to visit him at his new pastorate, where he assured them the latch-string would ever be open. For the past five years Dr. Geissinger has been pastor of the White Temple Methodist church, and while he considered that his first duty was owing to his congregation, he also believed that a minister should take an active interest in civic affairs; consequently, he was always ready to buckle on his armor and battle for right principles. By his eloquence and aggressiveness he did much for the betterment of Anaheim, thereby making a host of friends among people of all denominations. He also made some enemies, but the great majority of Anaheim's population honor and respect him for the enemies he made. Dr. Geissinger was transferred by the conference to the Hollister Avenue church, in Pasadena. The official board of his new charge fixed his salary at 7000 a year, but he refused to accept it, stating that he only wanted the same as his Anaheim congregation paid him—$5000. However, he has a co-adutor in his new charge, and some of the heavy work will be taken off his hands. MR. AND MRS. SPAKE RETURN Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Spake have returned to this city for the winter, after an absence of 16 years in Pasadena, and are occupying Mr. Gobel's residence on East Broadway, Mr. and Mrs. Gobel having gone to Redlands, where their granddaughter is attending school. Mr. Spake came to Anaheim 28 years ago, and was engaged in the realty business. He took an active interest in public affairs and has many friends throughout this section who are glad to welcome him home. His former partner, E. W. McCollum, now lives at Pomona, where he owns a 18-acre orange grove. Mr. Spake finds many improvements in this city and surroundings country and marvels at the evidences of advancement and prosperity on every side.

Word has been received from the navy department that one or possibly two torpedo boat destroyers will be assigned to Newport Beach, and Commander Robins of the Newport Harbor post of the Legion has appointed Harry Williamson of Costa Mesa, L. W. Briggs and Elmer Whitson of Balboa to work with the Fullerton post in planning the event. The Orange County Harbor Chamber of Commerce and the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce will co-operate with the Legion in making Navy Day a big one in Orange county.

Several AHAIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, October 15, 1925 ON WINDS UP THIS WEEK Antlered Herd Being Organized At Beach City HUNTINGTON BEACH is to have ment was made yesterday by an Ellis lodge. This announcement was made yesterday by local men who have been working for the lodge here for the past two years. The dispensation, which allows the formation of a local lodge, was granted by Grand Exalted Ruler Atwell of Dallas, Texas, according to information received here today. For the past two years a large number of Ellks here have been working for the lodge. The plan to form a lodge was sanctioned by the Santa Ana Ellks. The charter for the Huntington Beach lodge will not be granted until next year. There are 88 charter members in the organization. A meeting of the charter members was held last night at the Antlers' Club hall. According to local Ellks, a large number of candidates will be initiated some time in November. It is expected that the new officers of the local lodge will be appointed by the Santa Ana lodge and District Deputy F. A. Lewis of Anaheim. THE YEAR'S CROP ALREADY SOLD TO BUYERS ORDERS RECEIVED FOR ENTIRE OUTPUT OF WALNUT GROVES Seventy-two Hours After Price Was Fixed California's Great Walnut Crop Was Contracted for by Eastern Buyers—Harvest Almost Over—Growers Will Receive Almost $14,000,-000 for Their Seasons' Yield. Anaheim's splendid walnut crop now being harvested, as well as the products of all other sections of the walnut district, has been snapped up by buyers before the nuts are off the trees. Considering the demand for the nuts, the association could have sold the crop at Orange County to Hold Father and Son Week Events NATIONAL Father and Son Week, which will be observed November 8 to 15, will be properly celebrated in Orange county, according to Ralph Smedley, secretary of the Santa Ana Y. M. C. A. Plans are no wunder way, promoted by that organization for a county-wide observance of this week, conducted in the churches and clubs of the various communities. Three features are being stressed this year. First, there will be, in most of the churches, special services on Sunday, November 8. In the interest of the young folks. Tuesday evening has been designated as the time when organized classes, and clubs will invite the fathers of the boys to attend the meetings and enjoy the programs of work. Friday evening will be the dinner occasion, when 20 or more father and son dinners will be conducted in various parts of the county, all operating on a standard program, scheduled to end at 8 o'clock, with a radio address by Dr. Robert Freeman of the First Prebysterian church of Pasadena, who is to broad- Musical Program at A.U.H.S. Auditorium Conservatory of Music to Give Charity Concert Oct. 23 Although Orange county is one of the richest counties in the state, it has not yet been willing to establish a permanent camp for the benefit of the children's health. To say that the county is not able financially to finance this camp would be untrue. Down in Trabuco canyon, where children are now housed is the proper place for the permanent camp. So far, there have been accommodations for about 60 children, but 200 have applied for admittance, and two-thirds of them were denied the privilege of entering on account of the lack of ricans to pay the expenses. Unless the county approves money for maintenance of this resort, funds must be raised by private effort. Money could not be raised for a worthier cause than for the welfare and well being of the future generation. The Anaheim Conservatory of Music was the headquarters when funds were raised for the under-nourished children in Germany, and this institution is now offering its services and giving a charity concert, the proceeds of which will form the nucleus for a permanent health camp. On October 25 Orange county people can hear some of California's greatest artists, at the high school auditorium, for the nominal fee of 50 cents. It is to be hoped that the people of Orange county will avail themselves of this opportunity to contribute something to this human cause. Weekend Accidents On County Highway The charter for the Huntington Beach lodge will not be granted until next year. There are 88 charter members in the organization. A meeting of the charter members was held last night at the Antlers' Club hall. According to local Elks, a large number of candidates will be initiated some time in November. It is expected that the new officers of the local lodge will be appointed by the Santa Ana lodge and District Deputy F. A. Lewis of Anaheim. The officers probably will not be appointed until the state convention, now in session at San Francisco, is concluded. Three members of the local lodge left Wednesday evening for the convention. They are Henry Worth, William Jones and Gale Bergey. More than 100 members are expected to be admitted into the organization next month. Seventy-two Hours After Price Was Fixed California’s Great Walnut Crop Was Constructed for by Eastern Buyers—Harvest Almost Over—Growers Will Receive Almost $14,000,000 For Their Seasons’ Yield. Anaheim’s splendid walnut crop now being harvested, as well as the products of all other sections of the walnut district, has been snapped up by buyers before the nuts are off the trees. Considering the demand for the nuts, the association could have sold the crop at a much higher figure. Favorable marketing conditions throut out the country, reflecting strong buying power and a preference for one of California’s most popular food commodities, are reported to have developed a demand within 72 hours after opening prices were named, resulted in confirmation by the trade of orders in sufficient number to close out this year's walnut crop, according to an announcement by the California Walnut Growers’ Association. Its sales department reports that it is completely sold out on large buddies and No. 1 sofe shell walnuts, and that such baby soft shell and medium walnuts as are still to be disposed of are moving in a satisfactory manner. It is reported that ordera for 2,300,000 pounds have been received during the past few days, and it is expected that the demand for them will remain steady so long as they last. Carlyle Thorpe, general manager of the association, attributes the quick movement of this year's crop to two things in particular. Foremost of these, he believes, is the fact that the trade has explicit confidence, based upon its experience in former years, that the association’s sales organization has planned and is executing an advertising campaign which is reaching the consumer in every corner of the United States and Canada. Coupled with this is the fact that the crop of all other kinds of nuts, the world over, is exceedingly short. “There is less than half a crop of some kinds of nuts this year,” says Mr. Thorpe, “and with Brazils, pecans and other nuts selling much higher than usual, while walnuts are a little cheaper than they were last year, the consumer has naturally turned to California walnuts for its sweetmeats. “California’s walnut crop this year is the largest since 1919, and had other nut crops not been far below normal, we might have experienced considerable difficulty in moving the crop. As it is, the growers are receiving somewhat better prices than they expected to get, and the trade appears to be well satisfied, feeling that California walnuts are decidedly attractive to the consumer, compared with the prices of other kinds of nuts.” In general this will be a good year for walnut growers. Largely as a result of short rainfall in recent seasons, there are a few walnut growing districts which are experiencing difficulty in bringing their pack up to association requirements, but in the main condition on Sunday, November 8. In the interest of the young folks Tuesday evening has been designated as the time when organized classes and clubs will invite the fathers of boys to attend the meetings and enjoy the programs of work. Friday evening will be the dinner occasion, when 20 or more father and son dinners will be conducted in various parts of the county; all operating, on a standard program, scheduled to end at $ o'clock, with a radio address by Dr. Robert Freeman of the First Prebayterian church of Pasadena, who is to broadcast the address to all of Orange county and to such of the other parts of the state as may care to listen in. The father and son movement is promoted by the Y. M. C. A., and the special week is observed each year in November. It is the intention to make this year's program the best ever put on in this county. Girl Hikers Cover Large Territory Visit the Four Corners of the United States Hiking from their homes in New York to Florida and then to California, three girl globe-trotters passed through last week from Los Angeles, on their way to San Diego and Tijuana. They expect to visit the extreme south end of the United States and then start back to New York. They plan to be home soon after first snow falls. “To improve our geography” and that they were not trying to win a wager, the girls said they left New York on May 2, 1925; that they hiked from there to Florida, and thence to New Orleans. From there they went north to Winnipeg, Canada. They have climbed Mt. Rainier or a portion of it, and have visited virtually all the national parks in the West. After leaving San Diego, they will go to Texas, and then start north again, expecting to arrive in Chicago about November 1. From there to New York will be a short jaunt for them, they said, and they will be home for Thanksgiving. The girls are hiking without money and depend on the hospitality of various communities for their meals. The girls are not at all bashful about taking any ride that is offered them, but the car must be large enough to hold all three of them, as they refuse to be separated at any time. The young women are: Cecilia Stone, 19; Elsie Martin, 21, and Mary Kemp, 20. No, we won't give you our street addresses in New York because if we do some of the papers will get it back there, and all our friends will say, "I always knew those girls were crazy."

Ignacio Rodriguez, Los Angeles, riding in an automobile occupied by five other persons, and driven by his brother, Cesario Rodriguez, was instantly killed in the Brea canyon Sunday afternoon. Fracture of the skull was said to be the cause of death. Cesario Rodriguez was placed under arrest by Brea officers and is being held in the Fullerton jail on suspicion of manslaughter, after officers are said to have found a third of a quart of whisky in the machine. All five of the other occupants of the machine were injured. Margarita Cabrera, Pomona, is in the Fullerton general hospital, where it is said she is suffering from several scalp wounds. Her condition is not said to be serious. Jose Talan, Cesario Rodriguez and Miacolo Cailrillo suffered minor cuts and bruises, and Felipe Rico suffered a wrenched back. All are from Los Angeles, and with the exception of Margarita Cabrera, all were able to return to their homes after medical attention was given them in Brea. According to information obtained in Brea, the car in which the six were riding turned over when it failed to negotiate a sharp curve at a high rate of speed. Several of the occupants we might have experienced considerable difficulty in moving the crop. As it is, the growers are receiving somewhat better prices than they expected to get, and the trade appears to be well satisfied, feeling that California walnuts are decidedly attractive to the consumer, compared with the prices of other kinds of nuts." In general this will be a good year for walnut growers. Largely as a result of short rainfall in recent seasons, there are a few walnut growing districts which are experiencing difficulty in bringing their pack up to association requirements, but in the main conditions are quite satisfactory. The entire crop is valued at about $14,000,000, and association officials assert that the first pool, which contains the bulk of the crop, will be closed by November 20, and that payment to the growers for the walnuts in this pool will be made shortly after the first of December. In the meantime the California Walnut Grower's Association, which does the marketing fee forty-odd local associations of growers, is making advance cash payments amounting to 90 per cent of the f.o.b. price of the walnuts, to these locals, as fast as the walnuts are delivered to the packing houses. were pinned beneath the machine, which was badly damaged. Inquest into the death of Ignacio Rodriguez will be held today in Fullerton in the Seale funeral parlor. Coroner Charles D. Brown will be in charge. Three Orange youths, Lester Glash, George Hansson and Ula Gish, suffered injuries Saturday night, when the machine in which they were riding skidded and overturned on Main street, Orange. All were badly cut and bruised and all three arrested on drunk charges. Three Mexicans, whose names were not learned by officers, were injured at 10 o'clock last night, when the machine in which they were riding overturned at the intersection of Edinger road and Bristol street. None was seriously hurt. John A. Davls and Miss Beatrice Lucille Basham of Los Angeles were married by the justice of the peace here on Tuesday. Fight Results in Suit for Damages S. J. Mustol Wants $50,000 for Loss of an Eye More fuel was added to the flame of the Mustol-Goetze feud Monday, when Samuel J. Mustol, who lost his left eye in a recent flat battle with Karl R. Goetze, his neighbor, filed suit in Superior court for $50,000 damages. The civil action comes on the heels of a criminal court prosecution of Goetze, who is facing a charge of hayhem as a result of Mustol's disgrace. Goetze's trial is scheduled for October 15, before a jury in Superior Judge Z. B. West's court. In the damage suit against Goetze, Mustol demands $35,000 as actual damages for the loss of his eye, and $15,000 exemplary damages. The Santa Ana law firm of Head, Rotan & Scovel has been retained as counsel for Mustol. It is understood that Goetze will be represented by Attorney Arthur E. Koepsel of Orange, who is defending him in the criminal proceedings. History of the feud, so far as court records are concerned, dates back to August 12, the day of the memorable "rough and tumble" fight between the two neighbors on the public highway west of Orana. The real beginning of the feud, however, is said to go a year or so beyond the incident of the clash.

All the other houses finished up last week, or two weeks ago, and the growers are waiting for checks from the last pools, with full knowledge that the returns will be handsome. This has been a short season because the Santa Ana winds and a freak frost cut down the quantity of fruit handled considerably, but the prices received more than offset the shortage in cars shipped to the market. The unusual weather conditions last winter caused a gloomy feeling to pervade the ranks of the growers, but they are winding up the season with a greater harvest in dollars than they ever before reaped. While the oranges Welcome Extended Methodist Pastor Church Holds Reception for Dr. and Mrs. Haywood Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood, new pastor of the White Temple Methodist church, and Mrs. Haywood were tendered a reception in the social hall of the church Friday evening by the members of the congregation. A large percentage of the membership of the church war present to greet the new pastor and his wife and extend to them a hearty welcome. Those in attendance were presented to Dr. and Mrs. Haywood by Mrs. J. K. Langdon as their children. "But," said Mrs. Langdon, "there are so many children here that we can't let all of them show their father and mother what they can do, so we'll just let a few of them take part in the entertainment." A brief program followed. Mrs. Katherine Stewart rendered two piano solos, and Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Durfee two duets. Another piano selection by Betty Myers followed. Katherneine and Ellen Collins, accompanied by their mother, sang the "Sleepy Song," by Carrie Jacobs Bond. The pastor was welcomed by O. E. Stewart, president of the church board, by George Tedrick, Sunday school superintendent, and by Wendell Steward, president of the Epworth League. In his response, Dr. Haywood made an extremely favorable impression and convinced his auditors that he would be a vital force in the community's affairs. Country Lands Offer Opportunity In an address before the California Real Estate convention at Fresno, C. L. Seagraves of Chicago, general coloization agent of the Santa Fe railroad, declared that farming as a profitable business will come into its own. "Somebody must supply the food," declared the official. "Our present population is approximately 115,000,000, and with the average consumption of food 41,975,000 tons are necessary to feed the nation every year, requiring about 27,000 freight trains to move it." He said California is long on land and short on settlers to fill up the gaps which each year are becoming more burdensome. Active campaigning for settlers from distant states is very necessary, he stated, not for a short period, but continuously for the next five years. "California country lands offer the last cars are shipped out by the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association. All the other houses finished up last week, or two weeks ago, and the growers are waiting for checks from the last pools, with full knowledge that the returns will be handsome. This has been a short season because the Santa Ana winds and a freak frost cut down the quantity of fruit handled considerably, but the prices received more than offset the shortage in cars shipped to the market. The unusual weather conditions last winter caused a gloomy feeling to pervade the ranks of the growers, but they are winding up the season with a greater harvest in dollars than they ever before reaped. While the oranges were small and not of as high quality as those marketed in more favorable years, the prices paid by the eastern consumers were exceptionally high, ranging almost to $10 per box for some shipments. On account of the shortage in amount of fruit handled, all the houses are closing earlier this year, but the figures on the checks received by growers are far beyond the average, consequently growers and packers can look backward to the season of 1924-25 and mark it on the calendar as one of the most prosperous in the history of the industry. This season's harvest emphasizes the argument of our boosters that weather conditions have no terrors for the growers in this, the froseless belt of California. All the houses in Anaheim expect to open about the first of December to handle the first shipments of next year's navel crop. This city usually ships from 25 to 50 cars east for the holiday market. Prospects for next year's crop are exceptionally bright. Careful inspection of all packing and shipping, with punishment for those who violate the laws prohibiting sale or shipment of frosted fruit, has cleansed the market of damaged product and established confidence in the California fruit, with the result that the market has soared amazingly. The 1925 navel crop in California, although nearly a million boxes less than last year's crop, brought more than double the returns of last year, comparative figures being $21,794,646 for this year and $10,458,177 for last year. All returns are not yet in for the Valencias, but it is believed by growers to be double that of last year. Educational Tour To Attract Growers Orange county walnut growers are showing especial interest in an educational tour scheduled to be held on Friday, October 16, for the purpose of visiting several dehydration plants in full operation, installed in local walnut groves. According to announcement from the farm advisor's office, arrangements have been completed for visiting four plants representing different sizes and makes of walnut dehydrators. Prof. A. W.

"California country lands offer the state's greatest opportunity, and it is necessary to keep them sold to the people in the East and the Middle West," said Seagraves. "The Santa Fe railway is very favorably known to shippers and the traveling public, yet it is necessary for the railroad to spend immense sums every year in newspaper and magazine advertising for the purpose of keeping what we have to offer and the opportunities constantly before the public. That is what California will have to do and keep on doing with her country lands." the Santa Ana city schools, lives at 2033 North Main street, next door to Goetz. Both reside within the city limits of Orange. Mustol and Goetz both are musicians and both are engaged in raising fancy poultry and pigeons. Mustol claims that their trouble originated with a difficulty over membership in the Ku Klux Klan, which organization rejected his application for membership. Goetz, following Mustol's rejection, sought to force Mrs. Mustol to withdraw from membership in the klan's auxiliary organization for women. Goetz was said to be an active klansman. His version of the breach is different. He claims that he earned the annuity of Mustol when he interfered with a beating that he says Mustol was administering to Mrs. Mustol. The Mustols both scout this story. G. G.
