OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR THE WATER QUESTION The storage and conservation of waters is the most important question confronting the people of Southern California. The harnessing of the Colorado river is of vital interest to the people of the southwestern states—Arizona, California and Nevada. There is enough water there to insure the irrigating of much tiltable land available at the present time, besides water for domestic purposes. The Colorado project should receive the heavy support of all who wish to see this matchless section further progress. GUMMING UP THE WORKS Politics seems to have been injected into the Colorado project, and it is said state office-seekers strive to bolster up their personal interests by an apparent attempt to block this commendable enterprise. Some one should wield the willow and show them the error of their ways, so as not to cause any further interference. This storage of water is too big and of too much value to the people to allow any alteror motives to crop out. TAKING TIME BY THE FORELOCK Locally the storage of flood water should engage the earnest attention of all good people of this valley. Check dams in the Santa Ana river would impound a large volume of water that has in the past run into the sea. With the rapid development of Orange county, the time will come when every drop of rain water should be conserved. The people here should everlastingly keep at this water storage question. GETTING ONTO THE CURVES Silver-Sheet critic, writing in a Los Angeles paper, mentions the name of a charming movie actress and among other nice things mentioned, says the star is the owner of "the very prettiest pair of legs seen on the screen." Of course, if there is no padding, this is a broad statement, but if the writer above mentioned really craves an eyeful, he ought to come to Anaheim any bright afternoon. Little objection to lowering the surtaxes about one-half, to relieve the big fellows and stimulate business enterprise. That is, provided the little fellows can still feel that they are sharing as fully as they should in the cutting of these tax melons. There must be some cutting all along the line. If the treasury program really includes, as it is understood to, the repeal of the "earned income" exemption, Mr. Melton may expect hostility on that point if not elsewhere. That exemption was warmly welcomed last year, not only because it meant a saving to so large a class of taxpayers, but because it is considered proper in principle. Most citizens agree that income obtained by useful work deserves more consideration than income derived from capital or gifts without current effort. There will be plenty of argument about the proper exemption level above which income taxes are to be levied, as well as about the rates. There will be endless argument, too, about the value of the federal inheritance tax, which if it is not repealed is sure to be greatly modified. Bids are being received for the grading and surfacing of 21 miles of the Mecca-Blythe state highway, according to a report of the California highway commission received by the touring bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California. This construction extends between Desert Center and a point four miles west of Hopkins Wells. Connecting the Imperial Valley trunk highway and the central Arizona border the Mecca-Blythe route has been urged as a direct connection between Los Angeles and Phoenix, Arizona. It is one of four important interstate connections in Southern California. The work will be financed with federal aid.

OTHERS BUY IT IN DRUG STORES A WELL-KNOWN resident of this city tells this story: A man and his wife were walking down the street the other day when they met a man from "way back home," whom they had not seen for 20 years. "Well, John. I'm sure glad to meet you," said the visitor. "And this is your daughter," said the man, believing he saw a resemblance of the wife. "No, Silas," replied John, "this is the wife." "Well well," stammered Silas, "I do declare, time rests lightly upon you. Mary. You look as young as you ever did, and as pretty." THE END OF THE RAINBOW A COUPLE of adventurous young men of this city are hearing the call of the wild, and are telling their friends they are going out and try to locate the lost Peg-leg mine. They have been reading thrilling magazine stories of the Wild West and have been overcome with a desire to become rich. Many have gone forth in search of hidden gold in the desert and few have returned, but there are always new recruits. FLICKERING SHADOWS As the story runs, "Peg-leg" Smith found the mine of fabulous wealth, but he died, and the location of the mine remained a mystery. Then it is said an Indian and his squaw found it and they too died from thirst; and still the mine remained an ever recurring topic for discussion. Then a cowboy was credited with locating the treasure, and it was claimed he carried out much gold from the mother lode. He often had been followed and trailed by others bent on finding the gold vein, but never were successful. Then one night the cowboy was killed in a drunken brawl in a dance hall, and with him went the secret of the lost mine. No doubt there will be others who believe they some day will discover the famous fortune, its origin at times lending color for atories bordering upon fiction. ring topic for discussion.

HEAR THOSE SLEIGH BELLS LOCAL movement, formerly of Iowa, walked into his neighbor's place of business the other day, giving an invitation of one shaking the shimmy, at the same time saying a cultural expression that it was cold. "What's the matter, Buddy?" asked a friend. "Oh, nothing. I just got a letter from back yonder, saying it was 12 degrees below." Here the sun was shining brightly. SWALLOWED EVERYTHING SLEUTH bounds in a big city up the road used $1200 in real honest-to-goodness money as bait to catch a dope dispenser. The "jack" was given to a woman who used it to make a buy. When the peddler got his mats on the long green, he "beamed" the lady, used a gag, and then made a clean getaway. TAX REDUCTION It looks as if the leading business of the country for the next three months or so will be reducing federal taxes. So everybody might as well get into the game. It's everybody's business, anyhow. The hearings opened at Washington by the House committee, with Secretary Mellon's recommendations, make a good starter. Inasmuch as the small incomes benefitted most by the last reduction, it is right that the large incomes should have an inning now. There will be ANAHEIM GAZETTE Canned Goods Week Very Latest Stunt Week Beginning November 9 Is Time to Eat Tinned Goods Southern California, one of the principal food canning centers in the United States, will be the object of an extensive drive for greater popularization of tinned edibles among housewives during "Canned Foods Week," which begins on November 9, it was announced by A. W. Adams, chairman of the committee in charge of the observance. Grocers, market men, wholesalers, brokers, food associations, and the canning industries, of which there are many in all parts of this end of the state, have aligned for the event. It was shown. In this section, where a large amount of the nation's fish, vegetables, fruits and other foods are packed in cans, a machine-like organization has been formed to display to Southern California practically every variety of edible in tins and to educate the public to some of the preferable features of canned goods. According to E. G. De Staute, secretary of the Southern California Retail Grocers' Association, the remarkable progress in the production of canned foods is exemplified by the fact that where a few years ago the only canned foods of any importance were corn, pease, beans, sardines, salmon and peaches, today almost every known form of food is canned and the present tinned products are in many respects easier to serve and more economical than the so-called fresh foods. Canned Foods Week will be observed in Southern California with essays in the public schools, canned lunchmeals and other varied ceremonies. Housewives, through the new canned foods displayed will be enabled to obtain many ideas for eliminating needless labor. It was pointed out. Prominent merchants in practically every community of the Southland, from the Teachapl mountains to the Mexican border, are solidly behind Canned Foods Week, having pointed out that the sale of these products make for increased modernization of the grocery and market business, committeemen declared. A triple celebration will be held at Lompoc, Santa Barbara county, Armistice Day, November 11. The signing of the peace pact between Germany and Allies, the fifteenth anniversary of the founding of the town of Lompoc, and the opening of the new modern paved highway from Lompoc to Harris station, which was provided for in the election of December 9, less than a year ago, will be the occasion of a grand jubilee. The American Legion of Lompoc have charge of the program, and splendid entertainment is assured. The highway is the second one financed and built by the residents of the Lompoc valley, and is an additional evidence of the energy and progressive spirit of this section. Many Southern California cities and towns will be represented at the occasion, and a cordial invitation is extended to all patriotic citizens and good roads enthusiasts to be present and take part in the festivities. A British scientist has discovered that plants have muscles, and we've found them in asparagus lots of times. LEGION NOTES State Adjutant James K. Fisk announces the three California winners in the American Legion's $1500 national essay contest. They are: First prize, Miss Elinor Cole, Placerville; second prize, Mary Louise Cleveland, Selma, and third, Robert McClelland of San Francisco. Each of the California students wrote on the subject: "Why Has the American Legion, an Organization of Veterans of the World War, Dedicated Itself First Of All." To Uphold and Defend the Constitution of the United States of America?", the topic for the entire United States. Silver and bronze medals are to be presented to the two girl students by State Commander Allen B. Bixby, and young McClelland is to be given a certificate of honor. Miss Cole, 12-year-old Placerville high school student, will have her essay entered for the national prizes offered by the Legion. Miss Grace Nichols of Healdsburg was the California winner last year, and in the national competition was awarded third prize, a scholarship which she is now enjoying at the College of the Pacific, Stockton. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Will C. Wood appointed, at the request of the Legion, Ralph W. Swetman, president of the Humboldt State Teachers' College; E. P.

"If RACTIC for CONSTIPATION QUESTION—Are Chiropractic Adjustments good for Constipation, and can you get permanent results? One of your patients tells me you can. ANSWER—Our experience has demonstrated the fact that fully 50 per cent of all human ills are accompanied with constipation. Less than 10 per cent of our patients are found to be free from the effects of constipation, and the surprising thing is that few people know the real cause of it. We account for the cause of constipation in this way: That nerve pressure in the spine, usually in the lower dorsal and lumbar regions, cuts off the actional Energy to the intestinal tract and those organs responsible for certain digestive juices.

Veterans California have been in the celebration of Pasadena, state American Legion. Maintenance of the United States Veterans' Bureau as a separate establishment of the government and creation of a medical corps on a permanent basis in the bureau are the chief points in the rehabilitation program which the American Legion will take up at the next session of congress, according to State Commander Allen B. Bixby of local headquarters. A hospital building program to provide approximately 2000 more beds for World war veterans is also to be sought from congress, according to Bixby. An addition to include 325 beds at the United States Veterans' hospital at Palo Alto is included in the program. Plans to gather into the ranks of the American Legion Auxiliary, the women's organization affiliated with the World war veteran's organization, a membership of 500,000 by the end of the present year, are announced by Mrs. Eliza Shepard, sister of Jack London and now head of the auxiliary. Mrs. Shepard is making her campaign plans at her Glen Ellen home and will lay them before the national officers of her society as soon as they are completed. Mrs. Shepard is the first California woman to head the organization. LAWS IMPEDING JUSTICE The courts and police officials have been loaded down with too much work by the multiplicity of laws, according to the attorney general of Indiana, Arthur L. Gilliam, who is quoted by the National Republic, which says: "Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliam of Indiana has put his finger on one of the chief sources of lawlessness when he declares that by multiplying laws regulating conduct we have loaded down the courts and police authorities with more work than it is possible for them to do. So many acts have been made wrong by legislative fiat, which heretofore were unknown or legal, that the work of our police forces has been multiplied to the point where it is impossible to give sufficient attention to detecting and punishing the more serious crimes. Mr. Gilliam says: This is a condition which has come about as the result of the ever increasing tendency to regulate almost everyone and everything by setting up moral standards and arbitrary conceptions of conduct, and by attempting to compel obedience thereto by means of our police forces and other enforcement offices. If this tendency continues, I fear that it will ultimately lead to a condition of poorly protected people against real crime on the one hand, and a terrifying enforcement of tyrannous laws which invade the sphere of private conduct on the other. To me it seems plain that we must keep such police forces as our people are willing to sustain, sufficiently free to permit them to cope with those who are the real criminals, and we must stop demanding their protection primarily for a vague public instead of the interests of the public." European statesmen are said to be frowning on the idea of having another disarmament conference in America, doubtless on the theory that it might result in disarmament. Russian newspapers declare that the British won the big victory in the Locarno conference. Anyhow, it seems to be a settled fact that Russia didn't. Mary L. Johnson MARCELLING AND SHAMPOOING 810 SOUTH CLAUDINA PHONE 1054 ANAHEIM "If a Man Dies" “If a Man Dies Shall He Live Again?” THIS question, which Job asked 3000 years ago, is a pertinent one, but it doesn’t bother the business man of today as much as the question— How Can I Get More Business? The answer is by reaching the purchasing agents of the Anaheim homes, and that means the housewives. Women are good buyers. They have learned the futility of “just shopping around.” They know exactly what the family purse will stand and how to stretch the elastic budgets to the limit. That’s why women are so open to suggestion through advertising. Advertising enables them to check up on what the various stores are offering in the way of specific articles, prices and values. It tells them where to go for what they want and just how much to pay. BUT—— To reach and sell the family buyer, you must appeal to her through the paper she reads. In Anaheim that means The Anaheim Gazette. Go through any issue of The Anaheim Gazette and note the items of interest to women.
