LOCAL BREVITIES W. H. Johnson of this city, the well-known Orange buyer, has associated himself with the Gold Banner Association of Redlands, of which C. M. Brown is sales manager, and will sign up Valencia groves in this district for shipping their fruit to market. The association has a large increase of navels signed at Redlands, and has just closed a very successful season. It will take over the lease of the Stewart packing house at the Santa Fe tracks and will be prepared to ship Valencia oranges as soon as the season opens. Mr. Johnson has resided in Anaheim for a number of years, is one of the best known orange buyers in Southern California, and looks forward to a very profitable season for the Gold Banner Association in this district coming year. Superior Judge E. J. Marks Friday granted judgment for $775.76 on a note, with $199 attorney fees and $41.41 costs, in favor of the Anaheim National Bank, which brought suit against E. W. Lehmingberg, Ames and McFadden, Anaheim legal firm, represented the bank. "Somebody's got my goat," came a call to the sheriff's office Friday. It turned out to be an April fool joke, but it was interesting to members of the sheriff's office while they were investigating. In reality, Mrs. M. Jones, Lincoln avenue, near Cypress, reported that someone had stolen a goat from her goat farm. Officers investigated and found that some practical joker had entered the Johns goat pens and mixed the dry goats with the milch goats in such a manner that Mrs. Johns did not know whether all her goats were on the ranch or not. After working on the case for an hour, the goats werehered back in their proper pens and the "missing" goat was found, tied to a fence. "Just April fool, that's all," said Dan Adams, deputy sheriff, who investigated. In its regular meeting of the Young "Ys" Men's Club on the evening of Assemblyman Hartranft was a guest at the telephone luncheon on Monday afternoon, shaking hands with many friends. Mr. Hartranft will be a candidate to succeed himself this year, and will have the undivided support of good men and women throughout the county. His record at Sacramento is excellent, and he was one of the best public speakers and debaters in the last session of the legislature. He stands for the flag and the United States of America, and is in every way entitled to the support of the people. G. W. Sherwood of Fullerton has forwarded Secretary Sheridan of the water board a check for $25 in payment of a fine imposed upon him by the board of directors for tampering with the company's ditch, as alleged by Superintendent Billy Wallop. According to reports, Sherwood declared he would sue the water board for libel, but when the board held that no more water could be delivered to him until the fine was paid, he mailed the secretary a check, and all things are serene and quiet again. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Neff were in town this week from their home in Los Angeles. Mr. Neff is driving a new Cadillac. He was one of the original walnut growers in the district south of town, but sold his orchard a number of years ago and has retired from active business pursuits. He still retains a lively interest in the walnut industry. Mrs. Nellie E. Terry and Mrs. E. E. Smith were in La Habra yesterday, attending a reciprocity meeting of the Ebell Club of that city. George Littlefield has purchased the Eastside Grocery store, and is handling out groceries with one hand and taking in money with the other. George is the son of a former pioneer resident of this city, his father having been supervisor in Los Angeles county before the creation of Orange county. He is a very fine young man and is entitled to the support of the purchasing public. Jesse V.

Alsp, president; M.D. Falconer, first vice-president; Paul H. Demaree, second vice-president; R.J. Grange, treasurer; Franklin Howatt, secretary; H.D. Briscoe, director; E.C. Evans, director. The above officers together with Lloyd Ross and Fletcher Galloway, who are holdover directors, will administer the work of the club. Herman Dickel came down from Pasadena to attend the telephone luncheon on Monday afternoon. He was one of the original subscribers to the system installed here in 1897, and for a number of years has resided in Pasadena. Frank Ey drove over from Santa Ana to see how things are going relative to the election. Frank was a member of the city board of trustees 43 years ago, and for a number of years thereafter, and still takes a lively interest in matters political hereabouts. and states that one of the causes for poor conditions last year was the importation of large quantities of French walnuts, which disarranged the eastern markets during the closing weeks of the season.

George is the son of a former pioneer resident of this city, his father having been supervisor in Los Angeles county before the creation of Orange county.

Vrooman, for many years employed in the street cleaning department of the city, died suddenly at his home on East Santa Ana street Monday afternoon. He was a familiar figure on the streets, and was known to all the residents of the city. He leaves five children, also a brother and sister, the brother living at Lincoln, Neb., and the sister, Mrs. L. A. Barr, residing here. OIL FIRE AT BREA Two large underground oil tanks at Brea, belonging to the Union Oil Company, were fiercely burning at noon Thursday, as we go to press. One of the tanks was struck by lightning at 10 o'clock, and burst into flames. The fire communicated with the other tank and both were wrapped in flames. It is said that a million barrels of oil are stored in the tanks. The fire is in the center of the oil district, and there is danger of it spreading to other tanks. A large force of men are fighting the fire. Before we make up our minds just how efficient Mussolini is as a dictator we would like to see him tried out on prohibition enforcement. Pat Harrison says that President Wilson abolished secret diplomacy during his term, but of course, having Colonel House, he didn't need it.

Chestnut St., Anaheim 308-10 E. Third St. (Dick's Garage), Supt. Billy Wallop Reads Life History Writes Autobiography for Club And Tells About Himself Superintendent Billy Wallop of the water company read his autobiography at the Kliwanis meeting on Tuesday afternoon, and it proved to be a very interesting and well written document. Of course, many of the incidents in Billy's past career he passed over unnoticed, but he told a very good story about himself, nevertheless. He admitted having been once an employee of this newspaper, and that is bad enough. He was assistant editor, foreman of the composing room, pressman, "devil" and general bouncer. When people came in to thrash the editor, and these visita were not infrequent, Billy rose to the majesty of the situation and out they went, head first, their hat being pitched out after them. He knew where the largest and most luscious watermelons grew, where the sweetest grapes were and where the finest pears grew in the topmost branches of the tree, but he never swiped one—oh boy! He was paid a salary of $3 a week, saved his money and now has barrels and barrels of the real McCoy. Had he continued in the newspaper business, he would have made a great editor and would have made his mark in the realm of letters. But he jumped his job, and could not be prevailed upon to come back again. He wanted $3.50 a week, and we couldn't see it. For a number of years past he has been the efficient superintendent of the water company, and brings down more water from the river than any other man who ever occupied the job. He also keeps his weather-eye out for hombres who tamper with irrigating gates with a view to taking more water than they pay for, and he recently called a gentleman at this business and ordered him on the carpet before the directors. In reply, the gentleman wrote a letter that he had not yet learned that Billy had been chosen to be dictator of the company. Now if you wrongly deface THIS BAD Inspector of Electrics, trict president; Mrs. A.J.P. Nelson of Santa Ana, county president, and Mrs. Albert Logner of Fullerton, county vice-president of the Federation of Women's Clubs, were present and each gave a short talk. At the conclusion of the very enjoyable program Mrs. Terry and Miss Kate Rea served punch, and a pleasant social hour was spent. The next function to be sponsored by the Ebell will be the Alma Whitaker luncheon on Thursday next, April 15, at 1 o'clock, at the Angelina roof garden, which promises to be a delightful social event. COUNTY CLERK IN TOWN County Clerk J. M. Backs was in town yesterday from the county seat for the first time in several weeks. The business of his office has so increased that he has little time to get out and see the people. The grand jury recently gave him a clean bill of health, complimenting him upon the manner in which he is conducting his office and speaking in terms of great praise of his administration. He will be a candidate to succeed himself at this year's election, and as he carried every precinct in the county at the last election, his many friends throughout the county will stand by him solidly this year. He is a native of this city, the son of pioneer parents, and his private and political record is above reproach. In his school days he used to be considerable of a sprinter. One day a young traveling salesman from San Francisco, who held the 100-yard amateur championship of the state, arrived in town and noised the report around that he could beat Joe. Joe put on his track suit, and the race was run on Broadway from Los Angeles street to Claudina. Joe beat Peter, and we won $3 on the race. We are going to be for Joe. We believe he will sweep the county again. BUILDING MATERIALS LOW Speaking of the lower prices prevailing in building materials, Trustee A.W. Franzen, who is one of the leading contractors in Southern California, said yesterday that common brick cost him two years ago $19.25 per 1000, while For a number of years past he has been the efficient superintendent of the water company, and brings down more water from the river than any other man who ever occupied the job. He also keeps his weather-eye out for hombres who tamper with irrigating gates with a view to taking more water than they pay for, and he recently nalled a gentleman at this business and ordered him on the carpet before the directors. In reply, the gentleman wrote a letter that he had not yet learned that Billy had been chosen to be dictator of the company. Now if Billy isn't dictator, he comes pretty near being so the gentleman must believe. The gentleman paid a $25 fine, and probably in the future will be good. Billy is a great boy, and much of his efficiency and usefulness comes from his experiences in this office long, long ago. In brief, he is the best boy who ever grew up in this valley, and we feel proud of him. EBELL MEETING The outstanding feature of the Ebell meeting on Monday afternoon at the Elks Club was the lecture by Lillian Burkhart Goldsmith, her subject being "Idealism in Literature." The meeting was opened by the singing of "America the Beautiful," with all standing. Mrs. Harry Sears then gave a reading, "The House by the Side of the Road." After the lecture Miss Alice Grimshaw sang a group of beautiful songs. Mrs. Nellie E. Terry, who is county chairman of the society for friendly co-operation with World war veterans, made her official report of the removal of the disabled veterans from Camp Kearny to the San Fernando hospital. Mrs. J. H. Swan gave a talk upon the subject of "Better Homes." Mrs. E. E.

Franzen, who is one of the leading contractors in Southern California, said yesterday that common brick cost him, two years ago, $19.25 per 1000, while today the same articles may be had from $12 to $14. Lumber prices which then ruled at from $55 to $60 per 1000 feet, now stand at $36. Here is a reduction of about 33 1/3 per cent in the price of brick and 40 per cent in lumber. Wholesale prices are falling all along the line from war peak prices hitherto existing. We are "getting shut" of the economical hysteria following the great World war. Rents are a trifle lower, not only here, but elsewhere throughout Southern California, and real estate may show a slight recession from the peak prices of 1924. But Anaheim is getting along quite well. It is prosperous and the people are contented. There are fewer empty houses here than in any city of its class in the state. Local Girls' Reserve Gives Entertainment The local chapter of the Girls' Reserve entertained their fathers last Tuesday at the Y.M.C.A. building, on South Philadelphia street. Supper, which was prepared by three girls' mothers, Mrs. Beebe, Mrs. Gibbs and Mrs. Schweinfest, was served at 6:30 o'clock by the girls. Mabel White presided as toastmistress, while Dorothy Yungbluth welcomed the fathers to the supper. Dr. Johnston responded for the fathers. The program consisted of a piano solo by Louise Schneider and a group of popular numbers by the Girls' Reserve orchestra, which is composed of Martha Adams, Marion Utter and Norma Armbrust. Rev. B. S. Haywood delivered the principal speech of the evening on the subject, "Fathers and Daughters." The 35 people assembled were directed to their respective places by attractive place cards of blue and white—the Girls' Reserve colors. The whole setting ran true to the time, and bright spring flowers adorned the dining hall.

LEONA E.H.METCALF Tuberculosis Cause Of Decreased Income Showing that milk production in a herd began to decline almost simultaneously with the development of tuberculosis among the cows, a report received by the United States department of agriculture discusses a topic of unusual interest in practical dairying. The insidious nature of tuberculosis makes the time of first infection difficult to establish and other variable factors make the study of this question very complex. But in the case reported, the evidence indicates that in two years the spread of bovine tuberculosis caused a reduction in the milk of the herd, which averaged about 10 cows, from an annual production of 111,178 pounds to 82,173 pounds. The decrease in income from the sale of milk amounted to approximately $870. Officials of the bureau of animal industry, United States department of agriculture, point out that the indemnity paid for tuberculosis cattle detected by official testing is well known to be a means of hastening tuberculosis eradication. However, in the light of the foregoing figures, the reduced income from a tuberculous herd may equal or even exceed the amount of indemnity ordinarily paid. This loss, the officials conclude, should be as great an inducement as the expected indemnity for having the test applied promptly, so as to check the ravages of the disease, economic losses, and danger to mankind. $195 BUYS sweet-toned player piano, with 100 rolls of music.

Word of Warning to California Anglers A word of caution to California anglers with reference to the opening of the trout fishing season was sounded by the California fish and game commission. Instead of the season opening in most sections of the state on April 1, as in years gone by, a glance at the digest of California fish and game laws, now in the hands of all license dealers, shows the season opening on May 1 in virtually all sections of the state. This change in the law governing trout season was made some years ago, but each succeeding season finds the commission in the position of having to explain again to many anglers who have forgotten this fact. Exceptions to the law opening the season on May 1 are as follows: District 2½, along the coast of Men-docino county, where the season opens on July 1. District 23, Lake Tahoe and watershed, where the season opens on May 30. District 24, Silver Lake, where the season opens on May 30.

Mr. Hadley will discuss the mysteries of successful poultry raising in his own inimitable way. In honor of the occasion, President E. W.

Preparations are being made for a large attendance and a general invitation is extended to all poultrymen in the county, whether they are members of the department or not. The meeting will be held at the Woman's Club house, Garden Grove, 7:30 p.m., Thursday, April 8. Teakwood is so durable that beams made of it 2000 years ago are said to be still strong. Doubtless that is why they never build political platforms out of teakwood.
