J. J. Dwyer, W. T. Wallop and L. E. Miller are the members of the directorate, and the board was organized by the election of Mr. Dwyer as chairman. The board is now engaged in figuring up the cost of making a thorough cleanup of the cemetery, installing an adequate water system, and a budget will be reported to the supervisors.

The district comprises the school districts of Anaheim, Loara, Katella and Orangethorpe. Western Auto Supply Installs New Service The Western Auto Supply Company has installed a new service department which will be of considerable convenience to the people who travel in autos, and frequently need an adjustment of their cars. Car owners wishing a test on wheel alignment may have the test made without charge, regardless of whether the car is equipped with Western Auto tires. Small cars, driven six months, all need wheel alignment, and the Western Auto Company will charge the owner nothing for making the test. The battery service, also, is conducted under the same plan by this company. Such items as tires, batteries, bumpers, wind-wings, visors and many other necessities are installed at this new service without obligation to the car owner. The repair department is amply equipped to take care of any demands that may be made upon it. It is in charge of Messrs. Sisk and Long, who are experts in the business. Buena Park (By MRS. J. P.)

As a football enthusiast Stewart will be looking out towards California in the next couple of months to see whether his university's team, under the leadership of Knute K. Rockne, the football wizard, can defeat Howard Jones' Southern California Trojans. Here in California we don't think Stewart will like the outcome, as Southern California should and will win. What do you think, Stewart? Mr. and Mrs. Fred Backs and Miss Florence Backs spent several days the past week on a pleasure trip to San Diego. They motored down and spent a very enjoyable time seeing the sights of the southern city.

A fractured skull and numerous cuts and bruises were sustained by the youth. A petition has been filed in superior court by Ralph G. Rohrer to probate the will of the late Caroline Mauerhan Seeking Light From The United States The Republican party is entitled to approach the people this year, claiming credit for the enunciation of the gospel of high wages. In a world which seemed intent at readjusting its economic differences at the expense of the workman, and which was seeking to balance its books by deductions from the pay envelope, the United States, under Republican control, has taken a firm stand that the way to improve conditions is not by decreasing, but by increasing the wages of the producers. Europe is already beginning to see the weakness of its position and the wisdom of the program followed in the United States. Only a few days ago, the British ambassador advised his listeners that the prosperity of America was largely based on the fact that we "have learned the gospel of high wages." Within a few weeks a new parliamentary commission from Great Britain will arrive in the country which, while already converted to the theory that American high wages had made for its prosperity, will seek to acquaint itself with the industrial adjustments, and if possible, preach the same gospel overseas. All this is worthy of consideration at this time. Let us not forget that high wages are based, first of all, on confidence in the government, and that any movement which would transfer the control of the government from the Republican to the Democratic organization would inevitably be reflected in loss of this confidence and a fall in the wage scale. CHILDREN INJURED While Boyd Dean Lakeman, aged 5, and Alfred Mills, of the same age, were playing with a little express wagon on South Claudina street, on Monday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, a man came up behind them in a car and collided with the little vehicle, which was wrecked. The boys were thrown to the pavement and sustained minor injuries and bruises. The man alighted and, after seeing that the boys were not seriously injured, continued on his way without revealing his identity. The children's cries brought their parents to the scene, and they were taken to their homes nearly; where it was discovered they were not badly injured. HIGHWAY WIDENING Leland Bonham, 12, son of Mrs. Margaret Bonham of Buena Park, who was seriously injured when struck by an automobile driven by Gordon McCumber of Buena Park, Sunday evening, is still in a critical condition in the Community hospital. A fractured skull and numerous cuts and bruises were sustained by the youth. A petition has been filed in superior court by Ralph G. Rohrer to probate the will of the late Caroline Mauerhan of Fullerton, who died Sunday. The estate, valued at "not exceeding $21,000," was left chiefly to the deceased's sister, Aurelia Sabin of Buchanan, Mich.; a brother, Theodore Long of Murphreesborough, Tenn., and a niece, Louise Houk of Edon, Ohio. A third of the estate was divided between the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society and the American Baptist Home Missionary Society of New York City. The deceased's library was bequeathed to her son-in-law, Dr. A. H. Bailey of Spo'ane, Wash. Attorneys Launer and Collins of Fullerton represent the petitioner. THE COUNTY FAIR Combining an oriental exhibit of dates and grapes with a colonial snow scene of pima cotton, Riverside county is preparing a 30-foot exhibit for the tenth annual Orange County Fair, to be held on the new fair grounds on the highway between Santa Ana and Anaheim, September 6-11, inclusive. J. E. Wherrell, president of the Riverside County Farm Bureau and the Southern California Fair who is sponsoring the exhibit, was in Santa Ana this week, making arrangements for placing the exhibit. This feature will be in the form of a boat, laden with the oriental delicacies that are being reproduced in Riverside county, warped to a snow-covered wharf of the colonial days. Proper lighting and mechanical equipments will make the exhibit a tling of great beauty, declared Mr. Wherrell. Some of the big corporations are now cutting melons, and it is hoped this won't give anybody any financial collec. HIGHWAY WIDENING Bids have been asked by the California highway commission for the state's part of a co-operative widening project on the state highway in Orange county, on the Los Angeles-San Diego route. Through the town of Tustin a 56-foot cement concrete pavement with curbs will be placed for a distance of 1.6 miles. The bids will be opened in the highway commission's office, in Los Angeles, September 27. The street widening project was launched some time ago. Property owners, county and state officials are co-operating in the movement and the cost of widening the street will be shared by the property owners, the county and the state. Widening will start on East First street, at the Santa Ana city limits, and will extend to D street, in Tustin, or where the state highway curves south through Tustin. D street also is to be widened through Tustin to Laguna road. BOOST AMENDMENT Committees representing the Orange County Farm Bureau are now appealing to various organizations, asking for funds for the purpose of promoting the passage of amendment No. 28, which provides for what is known as the federal plan of apportionment. This plan gives the rural population control of the Senate, while the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco will gain control of the Assembly. By many it is maintained as a measure to prevent taxation without representation, which caused to much trouble about 150 years ago. Buena Park Notes (By MRS. J. P.
