Fullerton Prepares For Great Parade Largest Crowd Assembled in County to Meet Armistice Day Announcements of success in securing entries for the parade, and additions of various kinds to the afternoon and evening program, came thick and fast last night, when Manager Hugh Miller of the Orange County Armistice Day celebration had his committee chairman report to Commander Cooke at the regular meeting of Fullerton post, No. 142. American Legion, held at the Armistice Day headquarters. Aside from the parade itself, with hundreds of entries and features, declared by local legionnaires to be assuming gigantic proportions, so many added attractions to the day's program were announced that many things will have to be submitted to the public simultaneously in various parts of the city. Bands alone, 17 already assured, some of them nationally famous, will assist after the parade in providing band concerts in the park and at the football game. Barbecues, speeches by famous orators, and many other attractions will intrigue the afternoon throngs who miss the football game and the band concerts. In the evening, three dances, a surprise preview at the theatre, an elaborate and expensive fireworks display and what is promised as the finest horse show ever undertaken in the county is to be put on by the Orange county riding club, who have enlisted the co-operation of horse-lovers of Los Angeles, Long Beach, Pasadena, and other places. Bert West, district attorney, after listening to a dozen or more snappy reports from committee heads, declared that the coming Armistice Day is Fullerton's great opportunity to show up to good advantage as host to the largest crowd ever assembled in the county, and expressed his delight and surprise at hearing some of the details of the program. Police Commissioner W. J. Carrino Pioneer Tells of Crossing the Plains (Continued from Page One) one man (who had only two horses and both of them taken, and who called after the men not to risk their lives for his horses) go to bed, and he did. He crawled into his wagon. Then the women made a corral of the wagons, by putting the tongue of one into the back of the one ahead, and so on until there was a round corral. Inside this barricade they had the horses that were left, and fixed for the night, as it was near sundown when the Indians came. They did not dare to have a fire or light for fear it would attract attention, so we went to bed and, of course, we children went to sleep, but there was not one of the wives and mothers asleep. They were listening with strained ears for the first approach of the red men, and they never expected their husbands would comback. The Indians, of course, knew every cave and ravine in the mountains, while the white men knew nothing of them, but on they followed. But it was soon dark and they lost all track of the horses and the Indians, and then they would stop and listen, but never a sound could they hear. Then there was nothing to do but return to camp, and they soo nfound they were lost. They had been so eager after the horses they had not noticed directions. After wandering around for awhile, they came to a stream they remembered and knew it ran down not far from camp, so this they followed. The women hearing the tramp of the horses thought it was the Indians coming to kill us all. It was about midnight. When they learned it was their husbands, such rejoicing. I think every child was awake and everyone was happy. They were all alive and what did it matter if twenty-six horses were gone. "The next morning early we prepared to move one. With the horse left nearly all could be help on their way. Two or three families had to fall back in with a train of oxen, so we never saw them after that day. It may be they never lived to see California, for the Indians were very hostile. One we went slowly. Once in a while we paid one who was plains.

Police Commissioner W. J. Carmichael assured the leggifonaires that full co-operation was definitely promised from city, county and state officers. His remarks were followed by similar talks by Major R. H. Lee of the Spanish War Veterans and Chief of Police Winters, who told in detail some of the plans for handling the traffic and the crowds. R. G. Adams, who appeared in various parts of the county on the speakers' committee, and is credited with procuring many entries for the parade, told something of the pigeon release, which is to be the largest ever attempted in this section, and is attracting the attention of pigeonanciers of the world. Oscar Schneider, heading a committee in charge of barbecue arrangements, reported that Archie Raitt will officiate as head chef, with enough assistance and supplies to feed thousands of people. J. E. Seale, reporting on parking and reviewing stand, told of many famous personages who have already signified their intention of attending.

Once in a while we passed the grave of someone who was laid to rest on the wild plains. Once there was a little new grave with pebbles all around it and some withered flowers, and a small board at the head, with these words carved, 'Tread lightly stranger, here lies our little Nelly'. Our baby was very sick at one time, and we expected to be obliged to leave him out on the plains, but we had a good doctor and the baby got well. One day we were surprised by a band of warriors. They came into our camp all painted in their war paint, and from their spears hung scalps freshly taken from women's heads. I remember one in particular; it was long beautiful dark hair. They at once saw we were well armed and too strong for their number, so they made friends and asked for breakfast, and it was given them. There were white men among them, with blue eyes and light hair. We were in the region of the great massacre, which took place a few years before. "Many of the Mormons were to be dreaded more than the Indians, and the Mormons led the Indians on many times. This same band of Indians went over the road we had just passed, filled attain of emigrants, took their horses and burned what they did not want. We often heard of their taking women and children prisoners. These warriors all had long spears, sharp and pointed. I don't think they had fire... at all, but knives, bows and arrows. They were painted so they looked harpoons, and they had feathered head dresses. We were never troubled after this, but we always kept a look-out, for they were biding, waiting for a chance to attack a small company. "We kept moving on. It was now about September. We came to Carson City about noon one day and found a place where emigrants could camp. It was a large vacant lot, with a feed table at one side. Here we stopped for our midday dinner. My mother and only about time to get dinner out of the way when she went into the wagon with Aunt Olive. In a short time we heard the tiny cry of a baby, and lo and behold, it was my cousin, and today he is the Hon. J. Carson Needham, of Modesto, California. We stayed at Carson City all of the next time, and then the morning of the time, and I was too, quite a good deal. In midocean there was a fire alarm given. It was at noontime, and as soon as the alarm sounded the waiters dropped their dishes or whatever they had and rushed to the post of duty. My father had seen the notice that a false alarm of fire would be given that day and told a number of it, but many had not heard of it and were frantic. One man was going to jump overboard and had to be held by the officers to keep him from going into the sea. In no time the pumps were working and water was flying in all directions, and the captain at his post giving orders. It was an awful thing, it seemed so real and was enough to frighten anyone, but it was all for practice. I don't want to be on the water again." Northern Pacific Uses Automobile Reputation for reliability has won a Bulck an unusual job on the lines of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, where a specially adapted sedan is doing duty as an inspection car. Northern Pacific officials express themselves as "tremendously pleased" with the success of the innovation. George F. Howard, Bulck distributor for northern Orange county, said that the car was equipped for its special duties by the Pence Automobile Company of Minneapolis. Flanged stee wheels were substituted for the standard wheels, a rigid front axle was provided, and the steering apparatus was removed entirely. Its resemblance to a locomotive was heightened by addition of a cowcatcher.

We stayed at Carson City all of the next day, and then on the morning of the following day started out. The horses were getting very tired. The horses, Old Joe, would lay down once in awhile, and would wait until he got ready to get up. Then the whole train behind us would stop and wait too. Our horse was not the only one that missed once in awhile, there were plenty of others that did the same thing so it got to be nothing new. "We were going over the Sierra mountains, and we children climbed from one road to the next above. The road was a toll road and was cut in valley it was very dry. It had been a "dry year" and many cattle were load and lying all along the way, carried. We arrived at Mountain View, where my mother's brother, Cyrus, lived, October 6th, having traveled five months and four days. Then father and Uncle Charlie, after a few days looked around to find places to live. In new spring we had a big earthquake, and Leo the milk was skimmed in good stamps, and the floor of the milk house was covered with it, and we were much frightened. No damage to anyone, only the loss of the cream. A pail of water was in the sink and it was most all slopped out on the floor. On this ranch we lived three years. In October, '65, a baby girl was born. We had good years. Milked seventy-five cows, and did well. Uncle Charlie and family lived on a ranch in Mountain View for some time. "In the fall of '67 we went to San Francisco, after bidding our friends goodbye, and took passage for New York City, father, mother, brother, sister and myself. We took first cabin passage and enjoyed the voyage on the Pacific. Mother was sick most of Savings this week Auto's Semi-Annual Customer Sale! More of the greater savings big drive for new customers!

What the Exchange Is THE California Fruit Growers Exchange is a non-profit organization of 11,000 California citrus fruit growers, producing about 75% of the California citrus crop, operated by and for them on a co-operative basis. Its object is to develop the national and international market for California oranges, lemons and grapefruit by continuous advertising, and to provide a marketing organization that will sell the fruit of its members most advantageously and at the least expense. Receipts from sales, less only the actual cost of operation, are returned to the growers. Applications are received through all of the Exchange's 201 local packing associations, 23 District Exchanges, or at the central office in Los Angeles. Advice from the Northern Pacific states that the Buick is making good in every respect. It is in operation constantly, over the entire length of the Northern Pacific lines, from St. Paul to Puget Sound, covering 200 to 300 miles a day with ease. The users are particularly pleased with its flexibility, for which the powerful six-cylinder valve-in-head engine and mechanical four-wheel brakes are mainly responsible. The cost of operation, according to the railway's figures, is less than one-fifth that of the equivalent steam equipment, in addition to which it is proving far better adapted to inspection work than the locomotive which it replaced. John Bull was a member of the Continental congress from South Carolina.

Their returns over a period of years have convinced them of the soundness of co-operative marketing as carried on for 34 years by this non-profit, co-operative growers' organization. Over 11,000 grower-members, representing about 75 per cent of this great industry, are members of this organization. They send this friendly message to other growers who desire to market their fruit more profitably: "Be one of us for better crop returns" We, 11,000 growers, are the Exchange. Acting collectively we are enabled to— —promote increased consumption of citrus fruits through consistent consumer and trade advertising. —market 75 per cent of the California citrus crop in a systematic, orderly way. —maintain an aggressive, international sales organization. —distribute approximately 20,000,000 boxes of fruit at a lower cost (ranging from 2 to 3 per cent) than by any other known method. —average higher net returns than the minority of growers who still sell through other channels. No other fresh fruit industry in the world has comparable sales and advertising facilities; and, without them, none is able to give comparable returns. Non-Member Growers distribute approximately 20,000,000 boxes of fruit at a lower cost (ranging from 2 to 3 per cent) than by any other known method. average higher net returns than the minority of growers who still sell through other channels. No other fresh fruit industry in the world has comparable sales and advertising facilities; and, without them, none is able to give comparable returns. Non-Member Growers should note these facts: First—The California Fruit Growers Exchange is the most outstanding success in the history of grower-marketing, due to the ability of their organization to get maximum results at minimum of costs. Second—Grower-members believe in the sales principles and methods they have themselves laid down and proved over the 34 years' existence of their organization. Third—They further believe that all growers will profit accordingly as a larger share of the California crop is marketed through the Exchange. Because increased use of the facilities of the Exchange means more co-ordination in marketing the California crop and an ever lower cost per box. Fourth—the success of the Exchange is measured in net returns to grower-members. More than 11,000 growers—three-fourths of the California total—now market through the Exchange—overwhelming proof that the Exchange method has been found the most profitable. Your neighbor, who is an Exchange member, knows the value of its services. Talk to him; talk to the manager of the nearest Exchange association.
