EDITORIAL NOTES THE TELEPHONE LUNCHEON The luncheon given by Manager E. A. Beard of the telephone company, at the Elks' Club, on Monday, marked an epoch in the life of the Bell telephone system, which was instituted fifty years ago, and brought together a delightful company of ladies and gentlemen to celebrate the twenty-ninth anniversary of the installation of the first telephone system in this city. Our first telephones date back to 1897, eight years after the organization of Orange county. Our people felt quite chesty at the organization of this splendid little county cutting themselves away from Los Angeles county after an intermittent fight extending over many years, but they had to get along as best they could without a telephone system. This giant little county, the smallest in Southern California but the richest, mile for mile, in the United States, had a wait before it of several years before the blessings of a telephone system were finally brought to them. In Anaheim there were twenty original subscribers; now there are more than two thousand. Recently we heard the voice of General Pershing, on Armistice Day, speaking to stations from Maine to California, and from the Lakes to the Gulf, and receiving instantaneous response from the telephone and its associated radio. We heard him conversing with major generals commanding the different corps area; heard their voices in reply to the general, and the ensuing conversation. Such a perfect system of communication was never before seen in the history of the world. The life, the very existence of an army depends upon its system of communication, and with the commanding general conversing with major generals commanding the different corps area and scores of Recently we heard the voice of General Pershing, on Armistice Day, speaking to stations from Maine to California, and from the Lakes to the Gulf, and receiving instantaneous response from the telephone and its associated radio. We heard him conversing with major generals commanding the different corps area; heard their voices in reply to the general, and the ensuing conversation. Such a perfect system of communication was never before seen in the history of the world. The life, the very existence of an army depends upon its system of communication, and with the commanding general conversing with major generals commanding the different corps area and scores of stations thousands of miles apart, there can be no danger of the possibility of a foreign foe ever setting foot upon our shores. The safeguards of the republic are the education of our people—the army and navy and the telephone. Which of these is the most important is not for us at this time to say, but they go hand in hand and they guarantee the safety and perpetuity of the nation. When you take down your receiver this morning, do not enter into a quarrel with the "hello girl." Do not say to her that you will report any delinquency, if indeed any such there be, to Manager Beard, for his time is pretty well taken up as it is and he doesn't care to hear about your troubles. Treat the "hello girl" courteously, and you will in every case receive a courteous response. Remember, she is doing the best she can; is earning an honest living and, if there is any trouble, examine your own grouch and see if it isn't in good working order or in bad working order. Nine times out of ten the trouble is all your own fault. We know it. That has been our experience every time. But remember, as you take down your receiver this morning, that the telephone is not only one of the greatest blessings we have before us; that we could not get along without it, and that it is one of the four great bulwarks in protecting the life and liberty of our people. Speak kindly to the "hello girl" and you will see how sweetly she can speak in reply. Pay your telephone bills promptly, and see what a fine young man Mr. Beard can be. Mr. Beard's dinner was an elaborate and very enjoyable social affair. The menu was very tempting and appetising, and the company very gracious and interesting. When we began, in 1897, we had twenty telephones; now we have more than two thousand, and we believe this number will be doubled before many years. EXTRAVAGANT FIGURES WE NOTE some extravagant figures in the papers about what the population of California will be in 1930. We see that one estimate claims that the population will be 6,500,000 in that year, and that the population of the state today is 5,400,000. We believe these figures are somewhat high, and that the census man will come along and knock them into a cocked hat. The actual population of California today is less than 5,000,000, and if we reach 6,000,000 by the time the next census is taken we shall be doing very well. On the basis of the present ratio, our congressional delegation will be more than doubled but, as the ratio will undoubtedly be raised, and no one can tell what it will be, it is premature to talk about the number of congressional districts we shall have in four years' time. However, these figures show the wonderful strides California is making. We are now the seventh state in the Union in respect to population, and we may be fifth in 1930. Only New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio may lead us. These are great things to talk about. California is surely up and coming.

NEXT Monday is election day, and the forces defeated by such a decisive majority a year ago are making a determined effort to again get control of the city. Indifferent electors who argue with themselves that one vote is of little consequence are probably not aware that great affairs have hinged upon the decision of one vote. Do you know that if a certain farmer up in Rhode Island had not lost his vote, a hundred and thirteen years ago, the War of 1812 would never have been fought? This man always worked on his farm election days, permitting himself only time sufficient to get to the polls before the close. At this particular election he straddled his horse and started punctually. Passing his barnyard, he heard a pig, evidently in distress, giving voice to anguished appeals for help. He stopped to investigate, and found that the animal had caught its head in a rail fence. He lost several minutes tearing down a panel of the fence, releasing the pig and replacing the rails, therefore he was a hundred feet from the polls when the cryer issued forth and announced the close. Members of the state legislature were elected that day. When the vote was counted, it was found there was a tie between the two candidate in the district where the farmer lost his vote. Lots were cast and the candidate the dilatory tiller of the soil would have supported lost in the gamble. The newly-elected legislature elected a United States senator. There was a contest between two candidates, one favoring a declaration of war against Great Britain and the other opposing it. The pacifist was defeated by a single vote, but if the candidate for the legislature the dilatory farmer favored had gained the seat, the senator-elect would have been defeated by one vote. The United States Senate, as history tells you, adopted the declaration of war by one vote, the new senator from Rhode Island casting the deciding vote. Thousands of men were killed and maimed and hundreds of millions of dollars squandered in that war which would have been prevented if the obscure farmer in a rural Rhode Island district has voted on election day. Buena Park Notes (By MRS. J. P. ROBISON) News was received of the birth of a daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Cox of Uplands. Mrs. Cox will be remembered by her many friends as Miss Laura Murch.

Supervisors Form Cemetery District Only Anaheim, Orangethorpe And Loara Included Its area reduced approximately one-half, the Anaheim cemetery district was formed at a meeting of the county supervisors Tuesday. As finally constituted, the district includes Anaheim, Orangethorpe and Loara school districts, the supervisors having granted the demands of Buena Park, Savanna, Magnolia, Centralla, Cypress and Alamitos school districts to be excluded from the cemetery district. The next step in proceedings of the new district is the appointment of trustees by the board of supervisors. No time has been fixed for making such appointments, but it is expected that the trustees will be selected at the next board meeting, next Tuesday. Yesterday's meeting was largely attended and residents of the Anaheim district made a fight against losing the territory that wanted exclusion. Their position was voiced by Attorney H. V. Weibel, representing the district, who declared that there is an obligation upon the entire northern end of the county to aid in "keeping green the graves of the pioneers" buried in Anaheim cemetery. They came from all of the districts, he said, and the tax required for purposes of the district was so ridiculously small that he could not understand, he declared, why anyone should protest. Assemblyman S. C. Hartranft, who was connected with the enactment of legislation under which the cemetery district was authorized, appeared for a brief talk, approving the idea of the district and stressing the sentiment that he said, should move every one against neglect of the pioneers' graves. Hartranft did not discuss the issues between the district proponents and those who wanted exclusion, his remarks being general in nature. Attorney Charles Swanner, who represented the exclusion lists, declared that Miss Eula Fleschman, teacher in the Oceanside schools, spent her vacation with Mrs. A. G. Reed. Mrs. Harley Jones and daughter, Lola, spent Tuesday with relatives in Downey. Carl Christian and Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Thurman visited the John Boyle family at Alhambra Tuesday. Misses Rosa and Othilla Rosenstein of Los Angeles were guests of Mr. and Mrs. M. Uttenweller Tuesday. The Easter program of the Sunday school was very good.

Mrs. Dora Glives, principal of our school, is spending the vacation at Big Bear. Mr. and Mrs. W. Ingraham were Santa Ana visitors Saturday. Mrs. C. W. Girvin and son, Charles, were guests of friends in Long Beach Friday. The Buena Park fire department plans a show for April 16 in the school auditorium.

Jaynes and Mrs. Harold Jaynes of Santa Ana returned Wednesday from a week's trip to San Francisco. H. B. Crockett and family have moved into the house on Sunset avenue, lately vacated by the Goeddell family, who moved into the Teagarden house on Eighth street. Assemblyman S. C. Hartranft, who was connected with the enactment of legislation under which the cemetery district was authorized, appeared for a brief talk, approving the idea of the district and stressing tile sentiment that he said, should move every one against neglect of the pioneers' graves. Hartranft did not discuss the issues between the district proponents and those who wanted exclusion, his remarks being general in nature. Attorney Charles Swanner, who represented the exclusionists, declared that it was not a question of sentiment, but one of equities. Present residents of the outlying territory were not directly interested in the Anaheim cemetery, he said, and had no greater obligation to it than Fullerton and many other districts that were not included in the cemetery district. Los Alamitos News (By DORA H. MARTIN) Mrs. F. L. Norton spent Wednesday in Los Angeles. Mrs. George Watts was in Huntington Park on Wednesday of last week, the guest of her father, T. J. Moscey.

Mrs. Johnston is the sister-in-law of Mrs. Cercilia Henderson, who makes her home with her daughter, Mrs. Martin, and the two ladies had met but twice in 45 years, so the visit was a most enjoyable one. The pupils of Laurel school, and also of the Anaheim Union high school are enjoying a week's vacation. Frank Logan Norton, Jr., of Los Angeles spent Easter Sunday with his story of a band of smugglers and the efforts of a brave-hearted girl to rescue her wayward brother from its clutches.

Western Story at California Theater The the West is not entirely devoid of its early glamour is proven in Harold Bell Wright's newest novel, "A Son of His Father," which Victor Fleming directed for Paramount and which will be shown at the West Coast California theater, Anahelm, Friday and Saturday of this week. The story, while it takes place in the present period, is filled with so much drama, thrills and heart interest that it brings back much of the forceful color of the West in frontier days and proves that the western romance is very much alive today. Esther Ralston, Warner Baxter and Raymond Hatton play the leading roles and are supported by a strong supporting cast headed by Walter McGrall. The picture was filmed far out on the plains, where Wright wrote his famous story. It contains a stirring between the smugglers and a troop of United States cavalry, in which the brother is killed. Other fast action scenes run throughout the picture, and it is climaxed by a heart-rending love theme. The comedy feature is entitled "Never Fear" and, with an Aesop fable, completes the film offering. Friday night Armstrong's Baby Dolls will be seen. Famous Novel of Alaska on Screen Another one of Rex Beach's famous novels of Alaska has found its way to the screen. "The Barrier," perhaps the greatest of all Beach stories, with a high class cast of film favorites, will make its appearance at the West Coast California theater, Anahhelm, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of next week. The picture is said to be a stirring drama of the Alaskan frontier, with an undercurrent of genuine comedy. It is replete with thrills, beautiful scenes of historic points in the great Northwest, and it brings back vividly the story of life when Alaska was in the midst of its gold-seeking period. Norman Kerry and Marcelline Day are the focus for much of the romantic plot which pervades the picture. As an army officer, son of a proud Virginia family, Kerry is sent to Alaska for duty, and there falls in love with Necla (Miss Day), a half breed who believes she is white, having been raised by a kindly old trader, portrayed by Henry Walthall. Complications follow the discovery of her birth, and the decision is made when the girl falls into the clutches of a brutal sea captain. As usual-in Beach's stories, there is a sensational fist fight and such scenes as icebergs, snowstorms and others of a similar nature are features of the film. Other screen features are a Lloyd Hamilton comedy, "Framed," and International Newsreel and a novelty picture.
