Great Need of
Friendship in
World is Cited
The imperative need of friendship in the world today and the need to widen the narrow channel of life, were presented in a talk given by Dr. Walter C. Buckner, well-known lecturer and philosopher of Pasadena, before 200 men present at the meeting of the Men's Forum Club in the White Temple Methodist church Monday night.
Dr. Buckner, who is district superintendent t of the Methodis churches of Southern California, chose as his topic "Hidebound."
The inclination of people of this age is to live within themselves, without thought of fellowmen, the speaker declared. The world has grown too exclusive and neighborliness has been forgotten, he said.
To look away from self and to get away from the hide bound bounces of living was urged by Dr. Buckner. The fulfilling of the need for brotherliness would result in community development, he said.
The talk followed a 6:30 o'clock dinner, L. C. Writer, president of charge of the meeting. Percy Olds the Men's Forum Club, was in

Death Summons Loved Pioneer
Last of Original Colony Settlers Passes Away at Age of 93
Mrs. Francesca Mosseman, last of the colonists who settled in Anaheim nearly seventy years ago, and turned its desert soil into fertile ground, died at her home in Los Angeles last Thurs da yevening at the age of 93. Death was due to old age.
Mrs Mosseman was the widow of Christian Mosseman, who died in 1881. In the drawing to determine the distribution of the plots within the new town's limits, Mr. Mosseman drew the twenty-acre lot cornering at Center and Citron streets, where the high school now stands. Afterward he acquired another twenty acres adjoining him on the west, but he sold sixteen acres of his holdings to Mr. Horstman, father of Mrs. J. J. Dwyer.
Mrs Mosseman has made her home in Los Angeles for the past thirty years living with her two daughters, Misses Clara and Adele Mosseman, but she made occasional visits here She attended the Old-Timers picnic two years ago This was her last visit to Anaheim
Mrs Mosseman was a native of Alsae-Lorraine having been born at Blukastel on June 14, 1836 She was only a young girl when she came to America most of her long life having been spent in this country.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at a Los Angeles mortuary Rev Thomas H. Walker of Anaheim conducting the services Many friends from here attended the funeral The body was cremated and the ashes will finally rest in Anaheim cemetery by the side of her husband who passed away in 1881.

Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, president of the University of Southern California, made the address at the formal opening, Thursday evening. He paid a high tribute to Anaheim for its enterprise in staging such a beautiful exhibit. In part he said:
"In looking over the citrus industry of California I find that this branch of agriculture alone returns to the farmers $130,000,000," said the honored guest. "Orange county is a most important coog in the machine which brings this vast crop with its great monetary returns to the market.
"Wherefore I congratulate you here tonight that you are able to be present upon the occasion of the opening of this Orange Show of Orange county, of the great Golden State of the United States and of the whole world."
"While the orange crop is an important asset to this section the thing I see that is far more pleasing is the spirit which makes such a splendid exhibit as this possible. There are few here tonight, I suppose, who were present at the opening of that first orange show nine years ago. How wonderfully this institution has grown from that meage rstart."
The speaker paid particular tribute to C. C. Chapman, Fullerton orange grower, who was the originator of the idea of marketing the 'summer orange' His speech was broadcast over radio station KNX of Hollywood, operating over remote control. Much of the earlier program of the evening also went on the air.
Dr. von KleinSmid was introduced by Leonard Evans, president of the show. Mayor L. E. Miller appeared briefly before the microphone, as did Willard Smith, chairman of the county board of supervisors, George W. Reid, manager of the show, members of the Anaheim city council and members of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce directors.
Mrs. Margaret J. Bailey of San Francisco spent several days in town the past week with friends and relatives. She spent a couple of weeks at Phoenix and on Saturday returned to her home in the north.
The solid support of Orange county official and legal circles will be given the move to secure appointment of Superior Judge E. J. Marks as a justice of the new fifty district, California Court of Appeals.
While political leaders of the county were forwarding their recommendations of the appointment of Governor C. C. Young, the Orange County Bar Association was preparing to go into session at the court house Friday morning for formal endorsement of Judge Marks.
Three justices will be appointed for the new fifth appellate district, which includes the five counties of Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Imperial and San Diego. These counties will be withdrawn from the present second district, which has its court in Los Angeles.
Since the bill creating the new fifth district establish its courts in San Bernardino and San Diego, opinion in Orange county is said to hold that this county is entitled to representation on the bench of the district. The capability of Judge Marks for the post is so highly regarded that unanimous support rallied behind his candidacy, when he consented to become a candidate. Judge Marks is the senior jurist of the county.
It would be simpler if Mexico set aside part of the country for revolutions and the rest for business.

Brock Tells How Florida Fights Fly
Horticultural Commissioner Returns From Infected Area
Herculean efforts are being made to eradicate the Mediterranean fruit fly in Florida citrus groves and there is hope that it will be accomplished, although the outcome cannot be forecast, but in any vent, American ingenuity will eventually provide a means of controlling the pest, should it spread beyond the bounds of Florida, in the opinion of A. A. Brock. Orange county horticultural commissioner.
Brock is back at his desk after spending several weeks on "the firing line" in Florida, assisting in the eradication campaign and observing control methods. He reported a move afoot in California to provide strict inspection of baggage brought into California on railroad trains, just as steamships now are inspected at port of arrival.
Although California has been posed to the Mediterranean fruit since 1910, inspection of boats has successfully kept the dread pest out of the state, Brock pointed out. He be-

Ceremonies at the Cemetery; Boy Scouts Assist in Carrying Out the Program; James Heffron, Anaheim Legion Man, is the Orator of the Day; Cemetery Is Banked With Flowers.
Today the cemeteries are all banked with a profusion of beautiful flowers placed by loving hands on the graves of departed friends. In nearly all of them memorial exercises were held in honor of the soldier dead.
The usual services were held at the Anaheim cemetery, the Anaheim Legion being in charge. The ranks of the Civil War veterans, who used to have charge of the services, have been depleted by death, and the few survivors are content to let the American Legion boys assume charge. The survivors, however, are honored guests at the ceremonies, but they no longer take an active part.
The services here did not differ much from those of former years. The orator of the day was James Heffron, an Anaheim man, and member of the American Legion post. Following is the program carried out at the cemetery:

Old Times Picnic Occurs June 15th
Fourth Annual Re-Union Promises to Eclipse Predecessors In Merry Making
The Fourth Annual Pioneer Picnic, given by the ladies of Mother Colony Chapter, Daughters of the American Man, is held at City Park
Brook is back at his desk after spending several weeks on "the firing line" in Florida, assisting in the eradication campaign and observing control methods. He reported a move affoot in California to provide strict inspection of baggage brought into California on railroad trains, just as steamships now are inspected at port of arrival.
Although California has been posed to the Mediterranean fruit since 1910, inspection of boats has successfully kept the dread pest out of the state, Brock pointed out. He believes it can be kept out of the state now, but he also believes, he says, that means of control will be evolved by which the fruit fly would be no worse than other pests now infesting citrus orchards.
The plan which it is hoped California will adopt to war against the Mediterranean fruit fly would involve formation of a "war college" under direction of the state department of agriculture, to include all county horticultural commissioners and their staffs as well as officials of the big fruit marketing organizations. This "war college," it is planned, would be ready to swing into action whenever the fruit fly was found, at any point in the state.
Quick and decisive action, made possible by preparedness, is the need in a situation such as Florida now finds itself, Brock said. Ten Florida counties now are infested, covering an area of 40 by 50 miles. Fifty-one towns and 560 properties are affected. Citrus surinam cherries, peaches and gunvas are the fruit already attacked. National guardmen numbering 32 officers and 220 men are patrolling highways, while 3,000 negroes are engaged in "cleaning up" infested fruit.
The Gentile ranch of 100 acres near Orlando, is one of those quarantined. Gentile formerly shipped fruit from Anaheim.
Between 300,000 and 475,000 boxes of fruit already have been destroyed.
Aged Lady Honored On 88th Birthday
Mrs. E. M. Carver Entertained At Elaborate Dinner
A social event of unusual interest took place Thursday, the 23rd inst., at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Quarton, N. Clementine street, in honor of Mrs. E. M. Carver, who on that day reached her 88th birthday. It was a gathering of near relatives, most of whom are residents of this city. Mrs Carver arrived in Anaheim some thirty odd years ago and was followed at intervals by other members of her family, and is therefore responsible for some twenty of Anaheim's present population.
Mrs Carver enjoys unusually good health, has a keen mind and keeps well informed on topics of the day.
Water will determine the exact extent of the development that will take in the future in Orange county; $16,500,000 flood control and water conservation bond election to be held June 25 is the most important thing that ever happened in Orange county. There isn't a foot of the county not vitally concerned with the outcome and also with the prosperity of every other section of the county. If the people of the county will give serious thought to the project and will go to the polls and vote, there will be no question as to the outcome of the election.
In brief this is the outline of the flood control program as outlined by County Surveyor W. K. Hillyard for the Credit Men's Association meeting. "Southern California has spent millions in getting people to come here. They are coming and will continue to come. They must be taken care of and if we don't provide adequate water we are ruining our future prospects," declared Hillyard.
The speaker declared that surprisingly few people realize the actual condition of the water supply at present. The underground basin from which this area gets its water is funnel shaped and as the supply goes down toward the narrower portion of the basin its rate of depletion increases with surprising rapidity, Hillyard explained.
"No one who intends to live here in the future can afford to vote no on this proposition," he declared.
The present channel of the Santa Ana river formerly went through the vicinity of Anaheim and, according to Hillyard, it has built itself up to the point where it is about ready to shift again. A shift back to its former channel would take it through Anaheim, Stanton and to Los Alamitos Bay Hillyard said.
He pointed out that the present channel of the river can carry 5,000 second feet safely and that in 1916 45,-000 second feet of water hurried down across the plain. A repetition of such a flood would be much more destructive because developments has become closed to the river banks.
A tax levy of 47 cents per $100 of assessed valuation would take care of the expense and if the state-wide water program becomes effective the expense would be reduced, the speaker stated.
Hillyard called attention to the fore-sight of the board of supervisors in launching the program. He pointed out that Paul Bailey, flood control engineer for this district, ranks among the best in the country in that field.
Earl Ruddy, secretary-manager of the Business Men's Association, pointed out that the population Southern California is the vicinity of Los An-
Old Times Picnic Occurs June 15th
Fourth Annual Re-Union Promises to Eclipse Predecessors In Merry Making
The Fourth Annual Pioneer Picnic, given by the ladies of Mother Colony Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, will be held at City Park on Saturday, June 15, beginning at 12 o'clock. Dedication of the Pioneer House on West street, which was the first house erected in Anaheim, now used as a repository of relics of more than half century ago, will begin at 11 o'clock. An interesting program is being arranged, details of which will be announced later. Following the dedicatory exercises, the Daughters and their guests will repair to the City Park, where a basket luncheon will be enjoyed. The ladles will furnish hot coffee and cake. All old-timers, not only of this section, but from the entire county are cordially invited to be present. They will bring lunch baskets and are assured of a way-up time. Calls will be made upon old-timers to make brief responses at conclusion of the spread. A program of exercises is now being prepared.
This will be the fourth annual picnic given by Daughters of the American Revolution to Pioneer settlers. The three previous picnics were most interesting and enjoyable and were largely attended. The coming picnic promises to eclipse them in many interesting details and a large crowd is confidently expected to be present.
Ladles of the Chapter have interested themselves in preserving memmntes of early days in Anaheim, and a most interesting collection will be shown to guests who attend.
Ladles in charge of the picnic are Mrs. E Borchert, Mrs. H. H Easton, Mrs. J. S. Sheridan, Mrs. Beth Singleton, Miss McLure, Mrs. Sidebottom and others.
ANAHEIM WOMEN INSTALL JUNE 6
Arrangements are being made for the installation of newly elected officers of the Anaheim Business and Professional Women's club, June 6, when an elaborate program will be given.
Mrs. Kate McCullah, head of the Orange County School of Fine Arts, will be president of the club next year. Mrs Ross Hart is the retiring president.
Other officers who were elected to serve with Mrs. McCullah were Miss Ruth Taunton, first vice-president and program chairman; Miss Adelaide Osborne, second vice-president; Mrs. Victoria Burnham recording secretary; Mrs. Albert Frahm, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Alice Watson, treasurer; Miss Dorothy Osborne, auditor; and directors, Miss Mary Millerick, Mrs. Lucille Sprouse and Mrs. Ross Hart.
A tax levy of 47 cents per $100 of assessed valuation would take care of the expense and if the state-wide water program becomes effective the expense would be reduced, the speaker etated.
Hillyard called attention to the fore-sight of the board of supervisors in launching the program. He pointed out that Paul Bailey, flood control engineer for this district, ranks among the best in the country in that field.
Earl Ruddy, secretary-manager of the Business Men's Association, pointed out that the population of Southern California in the vicinity of Los Angeles is doubling every seven and one-half years and that water is essential to protect investments that have been made here. He pointed out that the cost of carrying out the project would be less than three dollars per capita if the population remained stationary for 40 years. This he declared, cheap insurance against flood control alone, without consideration of the conservation features of the program.
Orange county was congratulated for its "forestlight" in meeting the problem of water shortage, that is proving serious throughout the state.
Robert M. Morton of Sacramento, who was engineer for the state highway commission for five years, referred to the county's flood control and water conservation project as a "wise step to meet a problem that cannot longer be evaded by the counties of California."
Morton was an over-Sunday guest of Senator Nelson T. Edwards of Orange, who formerly was a member of the state highway commission.
The Sacramento engineer noted that Orange county is the first county in the state to undertake a complete program of flood control and conservation, although Los Angeles county is carrying out an extensive program and San Diego county also is engaged on a large conservation project.
"The water situation is virtually the same everywhere in the state," said Morton. "All of the counties are facing it and they all must come to some such program as that of Orange county to solve it." Moreover they cannot...

Anaheim Man Building Court In Fullerton
Details are completed for erection of a large bungalow court or apartment house on E. Wilshire avenue, near Harvard avenue, Fullerton, to cost nearly $35,000. It was announced by G. W. Bruns, Anaheim business man.
The property, which has 100-foot frontage on Wilshire avenue, is part of the property belonging to the Methodist Episcopal church and where the church was first going to be erected. Bruns bought the property fro mthe church trustees. The trustees retain a strip on the corner of Harvard avenue.
Bruns is an orange grower of Anaheim in addition to his owning a large apartment house here. Realizing the great demand for rentals in Fullerton, Bruns decided to place an apartment or bungalow court there.
"The opportunities in Fullerton for such an investment as I am planning to make exceed many other cities' possibilities," Bruns said. "I believe Fullerton to be one of the leading progressive towns of the county, and the present rental demands shows that families are moving to Fullerton at a rapid

County Students Capture Prizes
Get First Three in the Poster Drawing Contest
That Orange county students had captured the first three prizes in the state poster contest inaugurated by the California Congress of Parents and Teachers, was the gratifying news conveyed in a telegram received by Mrs Fay R. Spangler from Mrs. Neal Beisel, who has been in Sacramento attending the state convention sessions Mrs. Beisel is president and Mrs. Spangler second vice-president of the Fourth Congress of Parents and Teachers.
Miss Corinne Nelson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Nelson, 525 South Ross street, and a student of Santa Ana Junior college, took first prize in the state-wide contest. Her father, H. G. Nelson, is principal of the Julia Lathrop Junior high school. Second prize was awarded Nearl Harlow, also a junior college student, and the son of the Rev. R. W. Harlow, pastor of the First United Brethren church, and Mrs. Harlow, 1105 West Third street, Santa Ana. Third place in the contest went to Miss Orena Bover, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Miles E. Bever, 204 South Ohio street, this city, a pupil of Anaheim Union high school.
Oceans of Mash But No Sign of Still
Sheriff's Officers Raid Moonshiners' Den Near Anaheim
One of the largest liquor producing plants ever uncovered in Orange county was turned up by a raiding party, when it swooped down on a barn two miles east of Anaheim, near the intersection of Orange and Vista streets.
Although 18,300 gallons of corn, sugar and yeast mash was found working in 31 huge vats in the barn and evidence of the recent use of a still was uncovered, the party, composed of Chief Criminal Deputy Floyd Howe,

Setting a new record for shipments with indications that the new figure of 250 cars of valencias shipped last week may be raised to 300 or more this week, the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange is well launched on the biggest citrus season in the history of Southern California, Dale R. King, manager, declared.
The highest total of cars ever shipped by the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange in one week was 234, King said. Last week this was raised enlarged packing houses and crews, to 250, and with the heavy crop and this is expected to be increased to 300 cars this week.
Possibility that even heavier shipments will be necessary throughout the season to move the enormous crop, estimated at 50 per cent heavier than that of two years ago, was predicted by King.
Weather conditions in the eastern market centers are now much more favorable than they have been at any time before this season, King said. Warmer temperatures have greatly improved the demand for lemons, resulting in better prices, and have also benefitted the valencia market.
Prices are still somewhat easy on small sizes, but there is a decidedly improved condition in the market for 216s and larger, King said.
Picking has proved that the crop is heavier than early estimates, and even heavier than estimates of the Exchange made a month ago, although the last inspection revealed the unusual proportions of the crop and permitted time to form plans for its handling. With 300 cars due to be shipped from the Northern Orange county district this week, production has not yet reached its peak, King said, and shipments will undoubtedly soar far above the most optimistic estimates.
Sunkist Oranges Exploited in Europe
Exchange Starts Advertising Campaign Across the Sea
European advertising of Sunkist oranges was inaugurated this season with a campaign by the European distributor, the Moomaw Service, to run during the five month period beginning May 15, according to W. B. Geissinger, advertising manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange.
The campaign consists of newspaper and outdoor poster advertising and personal dealer service work with the jobbers and retail trade.
Sheriff's Officers Raid Moonshiners' Den Near Anaheim
One of the largest liquor producing plants ever uncovered in Orange county was turned up by a raiding party, when it swooped down on a barn two miles east of Anaheim, near the intersection of Orange and Vista streets.
Although 18,300 gallons of corn, sugar and yeast mash was found working in 31 huge vats in the barn and evidence of the recent use of a still was uncovered, the party, composed of Chief Criminal Deputy Floyd Howard, Deputies A. L. Steward and Harry Carter, from the office of Sheriff Sam Jernigan, and Chief Jim Bouldin and two of his officers from the Anaheim police department, was unsuccessful in its search for the still or its operators.
Search on the part of the officers revealed a lookout station, located most advantageously in a high tree near the barn, two other stations in the orange grove on both sides of the barn and a tunnel leading from the back of the barn to a clump of bushes some distance outside. It was ideally protected from the standpoint of the men working in the plant and afforded them every possible chance for a getaway.
The house on the premises, which had been leased by the owner, showed evidence of having been recently occupied and was used as a cook house and eating quarters. One bed in the house had been occupied recently, according to Howard.
Neither liquor nor bottles was found at the scene of the raid. Howard advanced the theory that it was a plant used by a gang making deliveries in Los Angeles. The vats and mash were destroyed.

Morton also congratulated the county on its choice of Paul Bailey as engineer for the flood control district. As one familiar with Bailey's ability and his record, Morton said that no more fortunate selection could have been made.

The quality, dependability and health values of Sunkist oranges will be stressed.
With the large valencia crop of this season there will be sufficient distribution of Sunkist oranges to all principal markets to make a consumer advertising campaign effective and helpful in building demand for future crops. Up to June 1, approximately 225,000 boxes of Sunkist oranges will be delivered or enroute to Europe and the present Exchange export program calls for considerably heavier shipments during the next three months.
The Sunkist Courier for June explains how co-operatives grow as follows: Not simply by an increase in membership, but more surely by an increase in the loyalty of the members.
Not necessarily according to the number of cars or tons, or dollars handled, but according to the extent this business aids in improving the conditions of each member.
Not only by an increase in quantity, but constantly by an increase in the quality of the marketable product of the individual.
