Woman Brings Suit To Recover Money Alleging that she was induced by fraudulent representations to invest $10,000 in the Golden West Fur Farms, and to give a note for that amount, secured by a mortgage upon property in San Diego, Mrs. Margaret Josephine Isham, formerly Mrs. Margaret Leach, has filed suit in superior court against the First National Bank of Garden Grove, Edward T. Griffith, Marcellus W. Meek, George U. Carter and John A. Harvey to cancel the mortgage and note and to recover $10,000 damages. Griffith, Meek, Carter and Harvey, she declares, induced her to make the investment by assuring her that she would receive $200 per month as dividends, and promised her a salary of $200 per month as representative of the company in Oakland, where they said they were going to open a branch. There was no intention to open an Oakland branch; no salary and no dividends, she claims. On the other hand, she alleges, the company was at the edge of bankruptcy. Griffith is now owner of the note, she alleges, though the note has been assigned to the Garden Grove bank. Mrs. Isham declares the transfer was without consideration. Disarmament is the process by which a country which has several obsolete battleships displaces them with nice, new, shiny cruisers. It took Noah 120 years to build his ark.

Active After Summer Vacation First Meeting Held at Home of Mrs. Percy Olds The Mother Colony chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution have resumed activities after the summer vacation. At their recent meeting with Mrs. Percy S. Olds of Lincoln highway, Arthur Groos of the Anaheim high school delivered his prize-winning oration upon the Constitution. Mrs. Flora M. Pyle of Santa Ana gave a most interesting talk upon her experiences in connection with many years attendance at the naturalization court. Preparing candidates for citizenship is one of the activities of the D. A. R. The local chapter meets Friday, October 21, at 2:30 o'clock, with Mrs. C. W. Cromer, 731 North Cleimentine, Mrs. I. V. Jones of Long Beach will read a paper on "The Supreme Court of the United States." A very interesting feature of the afternoon will be the reading by Mrs. J. J. Dwyer of a record of the early days of Anaheim, write nby Mrs. Frohling, mother of John Iman and Alma Pellegrin of this city. Believing that history is more than a "bucket of ashes," the National Daughters of the American Revolution is endeavoring in each community to preserve the landmarks and records. These documents are filed in the Smithsonian Institute, where they are available for historic research. Last year three remarkable records of overland travel in the days of oxen and Indians were contributed through the efforts of the Mother Colony chapter. The meetings are open to the public, and anyone interested is urged to attend. THE EMOTIONAL FRENCH Certainly every American and every Frenchman hopes something imperishable may be created out of the American Legion pilgrimage to France and the new and cordial associations between French and Americans that have resulted. Actions governed by sentiments are often effervescent, speedily lost in the bustle of more material concerns. But, in spite of the sentiment present here, an opportunity exists for formation of a better understanding on the part of both peoples. The second American Expeditionary Force captured Paris. The spirit in which France received the doughboys in 1917 has been rekindled ten years later, and the men who kept an invader from entering Paris find the city capitulating in hospitality and entertainment. By their return to France the American war veterans betray a strong attachment for the country in which they fought and for which they show they feel a bond between their native land and France. And the reception and greetings accorded the legionnaires by the Parisians show that France cherishes sentiments of gratitude and affection for Americans. The Legion is going far to complete the work started by Lindbergh in dispelling the misconceptions which at times threaten the solid foundations of apathy between the two nations. Gas is served to 10,600,00 customers in America. Association Pays Members Big Money Olive Heights Distributes Third Pool of $245,000 Growers affiliated with the Olive Heights Citrus Association have been malled checks totaling $245,809.74, representing net returns on the third Valencia pool, marketed from July 12 to August 29. There were 153 cars in the shipment. The checks bring the total paid to growers on the first three pools of the association to $539,278.48. According to Ben H. Cole, manager, the pool probably will be the largest handled by the association this season both from the standpoint of returns and shipments. The Olive plant has just finished its fourth pool, which is to be paid out within the next few weeks. The pool contained 75 cars. Work is under way on the fifth or cleanup pool, which is expected to contain approximately 35 cars. The Olive plant probably will end its season October 25. With 498 cars shipped in the first three pools, Manager Cole predicts that approximately 500 cars will have been shipped by the time the season ends. Almost 1500 towns in the United States have city managers.

Cupid Hard Hit By Marriage Law California's new three days' notice marriage law has ruined the "clopement business" of the state's two most famous Gretna Greens, namely, Santa Ana and Redwood City. Records of the state bureau of vital statistics of the state board of health show that business in these two lovers' havens has been cut 40 per cent since the anti-hasty marriage act became effective in August. For the state as a whole Cupid's casualties have been reduced 30 per cent. In Orange county 562 marriage licenses were issued in August and September as compared to 860 for the same months of 1926, while but 130 licenses were issued in San Mateo county as against 208 for August and September of 1926. Los Angeles county, which in August boasted of being the only county to show an increase in marriage licenses under the law, suffered a heavy slump in September, only 787 marriages having been performed as compared to 1463 in August and 1634 in September, 1926.

OUR DEBT TO LINCOLN President Coolidge, dedicating the Lincoln memorial library at the South Dakota State college, appropriately emphasized the debt that agriculture owes to Abraham Lincoln. He referred to Lincoln's championship of the cause of the agricultural college before he became President, and the passage of an act approved by him in the second year of his administration granting public lands to each state "to be used for the support of a college of agriculture and mechanic arts," a law which has enabled the states to establish these institutions "which in the past fifty years have played such an important part in the agricultural life of our country." With this in mind, the President declared "the hand of Abraham Lincoln reached over the battlefields of France and was one of the decisive factors in turning the scale of victory in the World war. "I think," said President Coolidge, "it is entirely within reason to say that without the supplies that came from the American farms it is impossible to see how the war could have been won." And it was the vision of Lincoln, whose advocacy and approval of the agricultural college measure led to the creation of "a vast agricultural empire lying between the Alleghenies and the Rockies," that made it possible for the United States to contribute this important factor in the winning of a war fought more than half a century later. Brea Young Man Killed by Shoe Struck on Head by Horseshoe While Pitching Game Succumbing, to injuries received in a horseshoe game in Brea last Thursday morning, Thomas Craig, 23, son of Isaac Craig of Brea, passed away at the Fullerton General hospital last night at 7 o'clock. An Inquest was held at the McAulay & Sutlers' parlors in Fullerton. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with burial in Loma Vista cemetery. Craig, who was married a few weeks ago to Miss Maude Anderson, was engaged in pitching horseshoes with Harry Tremaine, son of Oscar Tremaine of Brea when the fatal accident occurred. The two young men had been pitching two shoes and had just changed to three. Craig, forgetting that Tremaine had one more to pitch, stooped down to pick up the two as the third shoe left Tremaine's hand. The metal struck him on the head, rendering him unconscious. He was rushed to the Fullerton hospital, where an operation was performed. Craig, who was in the transfer business in Brea, is survived by his father, Isaac Craig; four brothers, William, of Borneo, and James, Ted, and John, of Brea, and two sisters. Home...
