BOOM AIDS CALIFORNIA Those timid souls who feared that the Florida boom would react unfavorably upon California's tourist business and general commerce now find that they wasted their apprehensions. Instead of injuring California's fortunes, the Florida boom has helped them. It is true that Florida has attracted a good many eastern winter tourists, but it is doubtful whether a great number of them were diverted from plans to come to California. On the contrary, inadequate transportation facilities in the Alligator state, resulting in uncomfortable congestion of traffic and embargoes on freight, have sent many winter vacationists westward. Now we find that the desperate need for lumber for construction on some of the lots for which people have paid fancy prices is bringing Florida into the Pacific coast lumber markets, greatly to our profit. It provides work for many people and helps the shipping trade, which is called upon to furnish the ships in which the lumber is transported. This is not only good for our commerce, but it impresses upon travelers who like a background of noble forests that the Southern Atlantic coast is so little equipped in this direction that it has to send all the way here for its lumber. Allogether, the Florida boom is likely to prove a blessing in disguise for California. Imports Line of Foreign Candies Harry Macres, proprietor of Ye Colonial Sweet Shoppe, last week received a shipment of candies imported from Austria, Germany, Holland and Russia. This is said to be the first shipment of foreign sweets ever received in Anaheim and is composed of fruit-filled Russian caramels, hard candies from Vienna and Budapest, chocolate-coated cherries filled with muscatel and vermouth wines from Berlin, and chocolate bananas and apples from Dresden.

Not long ago, in a small town in Orange county, a number of persons stood watching a house which apparently was domed to destruction by fire. A mother was frantically trying to get someone to enter the house and save her infant, but instead of going, everyone was making a desperate effort to hold the mother back, when a 10-year-old boy broke through the crowd and, with a handkerchief about his face, made his way into the burning house and rescued the child. When asked why he took the chance, the boy said: "When I am 16 years old, I want to be a scout, and that was what any Boy Scout would have done." John A.

C. MILLER) Farming activities are almost at a standstill at present. The land that has not been irrigated throughout the summer is so dry that tillage it is out of the question. The dry winds are raising havoc with what crops are growing, and the outlook from the farmers' viewpoint is anything but rosy at present. There is a large poultry section in and about Cypress, and never before has there been so much complaint of sickness and low production among the flocks. Everywhere the young stock that is supposed to produce this time of the year is backward, and most of the poultrymen are experiencing carrying these youngsters where they should be paying their way. The dairy men are waging a losing battle in most cases. The price of grain feeds and hay is not productive of wealth when the low price of milk is considered. It is a great life if you don't weaken! There was a family reunion at the Priddy home Sunday. The relations on Mrs. Priddy's side of the house gathered at the Priddy home, on North Walker street.

We must keep in mind that when a citizen goes to another city to buy some product, attend some show, he will frequently spend his money, for other things and perhaps buy an article that could be purchased in your own place of business.

This thought is sent you in all kindness, because it has been brought to your secretary time and again. Cooperation among ourselves is the example we must place before our people. Then we can urge the citizens to cooperate with our merchants. "Yours truly, Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. Sickness Cause of Most Aid Appeals County Aid Commissioner Files Report for Fiscal Year Sickness, closely followed by unemployment, forms the greatest source of dependency upon public charity in Orange county, according to statistics announced by Walter S. Gregg, county aid commissioner, who dispensed assistance to 1640 individuals during the year ended July 1. The statistics show, further, that: 1—The greatest number of indigents were of American nativity, the largest share of these being ex-Missourians. 2—The majority were of Protestant religious belief. Gregg's statistics were contained in his annual report to the state, which calls for information covering all of the points set forth, excepting that of religious belief. The report shows that of the 1640 individuals receiving aid, 1530 were from 361 families. There were 56 single men and 54 single women on the list, indicating that poverty made little choice between the sexes. In addition to the number receiving county aid, state orphan aid was extended to 135 children in 51 families.

The trustees felt that the people in this district were principally interested in the care of the Anaheim cemetery, and they believe that the formation of a district under the general laws of this state, such as is proposed, affords the most satisfactory and permanent solution of the problem involving the care of our cemetery. The law permits a tax levy of not to exceed two mills on each dollar of assessed valuation, and the cost to the taxpayers will be almost negligible. The trustees of the Anaheim Cemetery Association are Henry Hetebrink, Joseph M. Carroll, Mrs. Emma Seale, Mrs. R. L. Coons, Carl Pressel, Louis W. Miller and H. V. Weisel. The petition will be circulated by the trustees and others who are interested in the work, and all those interested in the care of the Anaheim cemetery are urged to call upon any of the trustees and sign the petition. In the city, petitions may be signed at the office of Mrs. R. L. Coons, at 120 North Los Angeles street, and at the office of Weisel & Stark, Golden State National Bank building. Only those owning property within the district may sign the petition. If the district is formed, the board of supervisors will appoint three trustees to manage the district.
