THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE ESTABLISHED 1870 HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Preprietor ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR $2.00 SIX MONTHS 1.55 THREE MONTHS .75 Entered at the Anaheim, California, Post Office as second class matter. OBSERVATIONS GOOD ANY TIME, BEST IN SUMMER AGENTLEMAN, who has just returned from the East, says: “There will, I believe, be a banner influx of summer tourists. I found many people either planning to come west or actually preparing for the trip, while many more are on the way. Improved highways and reduced railroad fares are exercising their lure with pronounced effects.” QUIT SITTING ON THE GAS TANK NO FOOLING, the man who rides around and raises poor oranges is just wasting his time. Sad to relate, there are some men in that class, and they do not get very much for their investment. But the man who is not afraid to work, and knows when and how to fertilize, irrigate and cultivate, and all that sort of thing, he is raising good oranges, gets good prices, and is what you call on Easy street. UP IN THE AIR THE INTREPID young genius who flew to France, from all accounts, has been in a mental state of bewilderment, no doubt over his hearty reception over there and here. And he is flooded with proposals to do this and that, with tempting money offers. But if he sticks to his chosen profession, with Uncle Sam as his manager, he will do America a world of good. And aviation is due for a big boost. UP IN THE AIR THE INTREPID young genius who flew to France, from all accounts, has been in a mental state of bewilderment, no doubt over his hearty reception over there and here. And he is flooded with proposals to do this and that, with tempting money offers. But if he sticks to his chosen profession, with Uncle Sam as his manager, he will do America a world of good. And aviation is due for a big boost. AMONG THOSE PRESENT THE GALLANT young aviator, in speaking of his wonderful flight, always uses the word "we." He means himself and his plane. He is averse to using the personal pronoun. Up to this time the only persons who ever used the plural word were editors, the man with a mother-in-law, and the fellow who had a tapeworm. GETTING BARNUMED IN THIS neck of the woods there are some men and women who have bought stock in "companies" that in reality are nothing more or less than hot air. And besides giving their notes for payment, have also given trust deeds to their property for security. To make a long story short, these short-sighted people stand a good chance to lose their property. As a warning to people who wish to become rich quick, it is suggested that they have a guardian appointed to look after them, because some slicker may come along and sell them the Brooklyn bridge. THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER PROBABLY one of the worst cases in these tragic love tangles came to light the other day, when a young artist strangled his two-months show girl wife with a strip off a bed sheet and then hung himself. He called her his "golden girl." They married in haste, and when the pretty young wife resolved to get a job—because the husband was poor—their troubles started. It seems they separated and then met again to see if they could not get just one more chance to be happy together. The husband was afraid another man would come between them. The dregs in the teacup were against them, and in a fit of jealousy the homicide and suicide followed. But in all probability if the unfortunate young man would have taken an ice cold bath, all would be well. NOW WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT! A RADICAL exponent of the Eighteenth Amendment, who has been abroad talking prohibition, says the people of one section over there became so wrapt up in his discourses that they really worshipped him, and actually kissed the ground upon which he had walked. LET GEORGE DO IT YEARS AGO they used to sing a song wherein it was said the Main street cars will run to the moon. Now that seems possible; or in other words, nothing seems impossible. It would be easy enough if a fellow had a balloon of the right kind and wasn't afraid to hop off. LINGERING AND LIMPID AN ACTOR once said he knew a charming young lady who, should she kiss a sapling, would start a forest fire. Now right here in Anahale there are young ladies who if they kissed a follow his LET GEORGE DO IT YEARS AGO they used to sing a song wherein it was said the Main street cars will run to the moon.

LINGERING AND LIMPID AN ACTOR once said he knew a charming young lady who, should she kiss a sapling, would start a forest fire. Now right here in Anaheim there are young ladies who if they kissed a fellow, his face would look like a red sunset. BOGEY MAN WILL CATCH YOU THEY SAY that when a fellow puts a pint in his car when he leaves the Oasis City, down the line, that information is telephoned to the border. And when the hombre drives up, he is searched and the tonic is confiscated and a fine imposed. But this is denied in certain quarters. The fact is the linemen are real detectives and can spot a fellow with the goods by the way he acts and looks—his conscience gives him away. It is related that some of the line guards are so keen that if you give them the end of a thread, they will find the whole spool. A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE SOME HIGH-BROWS and would-be reformers say it's not nice for women to go to bowling alleys and indulge in that fascinating and reducing game. Of course, some of them wear those short, tight fitting skirts, and then lots of the men folks go there too, just to see the strikes and watch the frames. THE END OF THE RAINBOW ONCE a job printer said he was so rushed with work that he hardly knew what to do about it, claiming to knock out a cool hundred dollars a day. The other printer who absorbed the story came back and said he had landed a contract to print all the postage stamps used west of the Missouri river. SMOKE SCREEN, WHAT? FIVE PEOPLE, who recently were convicted of manslaughter, were severely criticized by a jury, who said those "wild booze parties" in a certain movie town must cease. In some quarters this has been resented. It is said the president of a high-brow association allows the good film folks to work hard, go to bed early, get up early, and never do anything that's naughty.

New Grayco Cravat "By All Means" F. A. YUN "The Home of Hart Seasons" Manhattan Skirts Florsheim Shoes Gypsy Shoplifters Headed This Way Business Houses Warned to Be On Guard Constantly The Southern California Retail Druglists' Association, with headquarters in the H.W. Hellman building, Los Angeles, warns all merchants against carelessness in the matter of attention to gypsy customers when they visit retail stores, as follows: "Various bands of these itinerants are reported to be headed this way, traveling in Cadillacs, Packards, and other large cars, and are coming in large numbers. They enter a store under the guise of fortune-telling in groups of three to five, and while one "kids" the proprietor or clerks, the others are reported to lift anything they can lay their hands on. As they are said to be exceedingly clever and accomplished shoplifters, it is very difficult for a merchant to say definitively that they ever took anything from his store; however, it is a noticeable coincidence that following a visit by a gypsy band, there is a usual list of missing articles such as fountain pens, watches, other jewelry and wearing apparel. The safe plan is to either watch all of them every second while they are in the store, or else put them out immediately. They are thoroughly hardened, and putting them out does not hurt their feelings. Generally the caravan travels the main arterial highways and boulevards, but they frequently split up and single cars cover side trips and small towns." and in the smaller places where the stores are operated by a lone proprietor or clerk is where they accomplish the most mischief and greater losses are reported. For these reasons look out for them, and when they come don't fail to look at them, every second. Don't make change for them and don't take any coins out of the cash register or pocket for their magic blessing, as in the blessing process the coins frequently change ownership, it is reported. These people never work, and for centuries have existed by virtue of keen wits and swift moving fingers, so beware! Prominent Rancher Called by Death J. C. Mauerhan, one of the most prominent ranchers in this section, died at his home on East street, Monday afternoon, at the age of 66. Mr. Mauerhan was born in Germany, but came to America at the age of 11. He came to California in 1875, and has lived on his East street ranch 21 years. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Esther Mauerhan; five sons, Charles F. of Los Angeles, Frank E. of Anaheim, Conrad J. of Sutter Basin, James A. and Ralph W., both of Anaheim; one daughter, Mrs. Gertrude E. Nelson of Anaheim; five brothers, G. A. of San Francisco, Eugene of Oakland, W. C. of Katella road, D. H. of Los Angeles, and Ed. R. of Laguna Beach, and two sisters, Mrs. G. F. Ochs of Oakland and Mrs. A. G. Oswald of Fullerton. Mr. Mauerhan was injured in an automobile accident some weeks ago, and from that date began to decline. Funeral services were held this afternoon at the chapel of Backa, Terry & Campbell, Rev. H. G. Schmelzer conducting the services. Interment was in Fairhaven cemetery, Santa Ana. Nature ain't so grand. She gives nice children to lots of people who haven't sense enought to raise them right.
