The following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That the members of this society, and the public generally, be invited to hand questions for debate to the secretary from time to time, who shall make a list of the same and submit said list to the program committee at each meeting.

Rimpau were appointed to take charge of the property belonging to the society, and to procure a hall in which to hold our future meetings.

Mr. Rust brought into our office yesterday at live jackrabbit, which he had rescued from the talons of a buzzard. It was a long time before the little fellow recovered from his fright. Mr. Chapel sold his farm in Garden Grove to Mr. Spencer Johnson yesterday. As two young ladies were crossing a vineyard yesterday, a shot was fired from the street, and the ball passed close to their heads. It is not at all probable that the shot was fired with malicious intent, but it is certain that the shooter was extremely careless. Mr. Kellogg, who is an enthusiastic dog fancier and who takes pride in the possession of trained and valuable canines, has again lost a fine setter, for which he offers a reward. Our Anaheim photographer, Mr. Vincent, exhibited to us yesterday a very fine view of St. Michael's church. It is finished in the highest style of the art. He has also taken some views of the inside of the church for a gentleman at Los Angeles. Mr. Conrad commenced yesterday to haul bricks for one-story building, 21 feet front, in the burnt district. If the other landowners on Los Angeles street will exhibit as much enterprise, we shall soon have a fine block of buildings. The horse of Manuel Bustamente, attached to a spring cart, ran away last evening near Fischer's brick yard, throwing out of the cart three women. Marshal Wartenburg caught the horse, and from him we learn that the women were severely injured, one of them having some bones broken in the leg. Case of R. Serrano vs. W. H. Titchnel and James Irvine, a suit for claim and delivery, was tried before Justice McGibbon at Orange yesterday, and judgment was rendered in favor of story building, 21 feet front, in the burnt district.

Scott and Montgomery were attorneys for plaintiff. A son of Mr. Hinde was injured on Monday by having one of his feet caught in a cogwheel. Mr. Fred Hartung received a very severe bruise on the shoulder by a fall from his horse on Saturday. We are pleased to hear that it will not prove serious and that he is now recovering. Mr. G. F. Miles, town assessor, finished his work yesterday. He reports the value of property at $268,000. The rate of taxation will be 25 cents upon each hundred dollars. Quite a number of our friends from the surrounding country have visited our office and congratulated us upon the reappearance of The Gazette. Dr. W. N. Hardin has recorded his certificate in the office of the county clerk. He holds two diplomas, one from the New York Medical College, dated March 4, 1849, and another from Jefferson Medical College, Pa., dated March 4, 1856. Mr. Eccles brought into town some very fine looking hams cured at Westminster. We quote the following from the San Francisco Chronicle—"One of the handsomest of our country exchanges is the Anaheim Gazette in its new dress. Only a few weeks ago the burning of a block of buildings in Anaheim destroyed completely the press and material of The Gazette, but the enterprising proprietors immediately obtained a new office from San Francisco, and their paper appeared once more before its subscribers after a very short intermission, and greatly improved in looks."

Two hundred and forty odd bunnies were sent on their way to the happy hunting grounds on Sunday, as a result of a hunt on the part of a number of mighty nimrods of this city. The hunt was from Curtis' grove to Richfield. Rabbits are reported to be more plentiful than for years, scores being seen daily in the cactus by hunters out for an afternoon's sport. At noon the party sat down to an elaborate lunch, which took up an hour. The hunt was later resumed and continued until 4 o'clock, when the party returned to town.

Bowers How to Read Percentages Were Dodge Brothers to sell 100 motor cars one year and 200 motor cars the next, they could truthfully announce that their sales had increased 100 per cent in a single year. Yet they would only have sold 300 motor cars in all. In other words, PERCENTAGE of annual gain is not conclusive. The NUMBER of cars sold is the true test. That Dodge Brothers sales in 1926 showed an increase of 27.6 per cent over 1925 is not the MAJOR fact to consider—striking as it is. But that Dodge Brothers sold 259,967 cars in 1925, and then in 1926 sold 831,764—a gain of 71,797 sales in twelve months—tells a story of growth that stands out like a tower on the skyline of the industry. Three hundred and thirty-one thousand buyers LAST year! Many more vital improvements added THIS year! No increase in price!

Caldwell, of Monticello, Ill., a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed canal that so many constipated infants and children had to be kept "stirred up" and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and xanty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all children's little ills, he constantly advised mothers to give only a harmless laxative which would help to establish natural bowel "regularity." In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin mothers have a regulating laxative which they can depend upon whenever a child is constipated, blooms, feverish or sick from a cold, indigestion or sour stomach. All children love its pleasant taste. Buy a large 60-cent bottle at any store that sells medicine or write "Syrup Pepsin," Monticello, Illinois, for a FREE SAMPLE BOTTLE and just see for yourself how perfectly it cleanses and regulates the bowels of infants and children.
