The present season started in November with a fall of 5.40 inches, the heaviest rainfall for that month in many years, but the seasonal precipitation since then has been scant. A good rain is needed. George Gothard, a former resident of this section, now of Westminster was up from the peatlands on Saturday, renewing old acquaintances.

One thousand cars of the vegetable have already been sent to market. Eddie Boege of this city and Miss Myrtle Lovering of Fullerton were married yesterday at the residence of the bride's parents on Orangethorpe avenue.

The newly wedded couple will spend their honeymoon at a neighboring seaside resort and upon their return will reside at Fullerton. Mrs. Susanne Patterson Hathaway Bixby, widow of the late Jotham W. Bixby, died suddenly on Friday at the family home-stead near Long Beach. She was the mother of Fred Bixby of Long Beach and Mrs. Dr. Bryant of Los Angeles.

Where is there such another section as this grand county of the Southland? Truly has it been said that the resources are the most diversified in California, which is another way of saying its resources are the most diversified of any place on earth. S OF LONG AGO History and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK FEBRUARY 5, 1881 Rev. J. W. Ellis of Los Angeles is expected to preach in the Presbyterian church tomorrow evening at 7:30 o'clock. Sunday school as usual at 9:45 a.m. The program for the meeting of Anaheim Lodge A. O. U. W. on next Monday evening is as follows: Reading by Mr. Drown; Song by Mr. Grimshaw; Declamation by Mr. Leonard. Frank P. Bacon is putting out 170 acres of vines on his ranch between Pasadena and the Mission. He is planting mostly foreign cuttings giving preference to the Blaue Elba, Zinfandel and white Muscat. The county treasurer notifies holders of registered warrants drawn on the road district funds of Garden Grove, Florence, Los Nietos, Silver, San Antonio, Cahuenga, San Jose, Norwalk, San Fernando, Pasadena and Orange that the same will be paid on presentation. Indians have committed so many outrages in New Mexico lately—murdering men, women and children—that a number of residents of Silver City have subscribed to a fund which will be used to reward the killing of Indians. One hundred dollars is offered for the head of any Indian connected with the band which has terrorized that country.

At a meeting of the Horticultural society Saturday, Mr. A. B. Clark of Orange was elected a director in place of Dr. Conger, resigned. MARY MARSHALL'S Very Latest During the years of the war and those that followed, women's clothes became practically buttonless. It took time to sew on buttons and to make buttonholes and, as clothes became simpler and straighter, ways were devised to get along without buttons. They disappeared entirely from underthings and fortunately are not likely to return. Coats and wraps were made with one or possibly two buttons or with none at all. Dresses went on over the head and were tied together with strips of material. Put great changes... At the meeting of the Ladies Benevolent society last Wednesday a quilt was raffled off, for which fifty chances had been sold. The lucky number was held by Lena Payanes who won the prize. At a meeting of the Horticultural society Saturday, Mr. A. B. Clark of Orange was elected a director in place of Dr. Conger, resigned. Sixty-seven of the prisoners confined in the state penitentiary were sent there from Los Angeles county, but none of them belong in the to be county of Orange. It is an undeniable fact that this portion of the county furnishes only about one in fifty of the criminals whose arrest, examination and conviction keeps all the courts in Los Anageles busy from one year's end to another. Stick a pin there. A young man named Waite was discovered in the act of robbing the postoffice at Downey on Thursday of last week. The postmaster had frequently missed small sums from his till, and on the day named he locked the office at dinner time as usual having concealed behind the counter a Mr. Horton. Waite entered the office through a side door and was entrapped by Horton. He was examined before the Justice and held on $300 bail which was furnished. Mr. Leopold Cohen has returned from a brief trip to Tombstone, Charleston and other points in Arizona. He reports times as profundly dull in that territory and his testimony is confirmed by other travelers, so sharp is the competition in business that goods are sold in remote parts of the territory as cheap as in Los Angeles. A fortune can not be made quickly in a country where three pairs of socks can be bought for 25 cents. The delinquent tax list takes up forty columns of the Los Angeles Herald supplement, although the amount delinquent is only about $45,000—$31,597 of that amount being due by the Railroad company, who contest the assessment on the ground of unconstitutionality. The property is described more fully this year than under the old law. The sales of property upon which taxes have not been paid will begin on Wednesday, Feb. 23 at 10 a.m. A. Langenberger has for sale at his grocery store a very superior quality of pickled olives, which were grown and prepared by Mr. E. A. Saxton. The trees upon which the olives grew are from cuttings planted only a few years ago by Mr. Saxton. He is among the first to demonstrate that the olive can be grown here profitably, and has effectually disproved the belief that was prevalent a few years ago in regard to the age which an olive tree must attain before it produces fruit. The Board of Town Trustees met in regular monthly session on Monday afternoon. Sundry bills were ordered paid the sum of $326.50 being paid for work on the streets during the month. The delinquent tax list was ordered published. The petition of L. F. Lewis to erect hay scales on Center street was referred to the Committee on Public Improvements. The petition of Fred Hartung for a bridge was granted. A similar petition from Theo. have taken place and, along with the general revival of feminine details of dress, buttons of an elaborate ornamental sort have come back into favor. Many of the new blouses are made with rows of narrow buttons. Tailored jackets now have four or six buttons where once they had but one or two. The sketch shows a way of using buttons for a purely ornamental purpose that you will find smart and amusing. The buttons chosen were round, fabric-covered buttons and they were strung through the center. The same idea may be carried out with two or four hole buttons, by running the connecting cord through the holes with two or four strands of silk. The new long-sleeved dresses fit closely at the wrists and often the seam is left open five or six inches and finished with small silk loops on one side and a row of small round buttons on the other side—six or eight buttons being used on each sleeve. These buttons may be of the fabric-covered sort, though a more interesting effect is gained if they are of metal or colored glass. 1930 Marks Smallest Gains In Automobiles Last year marked the smallest annual gain in the number of automobiles in use in the United States since the invention of the "horseless carriage." There were less than one per cent more machines on the highways than in 1929. The actual increase in numbers was only 160,153, bringing the present total to 26,661,596. It is pointed out by manufacturers that there is every indication of an increase in the manufacture and sale of cars in 1931. What most of us regard as tolerance is the overlooking of our own bad habits by others. The Board of Town Trustees met in regular monthly session on Monday afternoon. Sundry bills were ordered paid the sum of $326.50 being paid for work on the streets during the month. The delinquent tax list was ordered published. The petition of L. F. Lewis to erect hay scales on Center street was referred to the Committee on Public Improvements. The petition of Fred Hartung for a bridge was granted. A similar petition from Theo. Reiser was referred to the committee on Public Improvements. Several citizens residing on Center street having complained about an alleged nuisance on certain premises, the marshal was instructed to notify the owner to abate the nuisance. The people of Anaheim and vicinity held a meeting, drafted a bill and are circulating a petition for its passage, the object being to divide Los Angeles county and organize the southern portion into a new county to be called Orange. The subject of county division has agitated the people of that section before, but this time they appear to be more then ever in earnest. It is a thing likely to be done at some future time if not at present, and if our southern brethren are fully convinced that they will reap benefits from the proposed division sufficient to compensate for the additional expense that will be undoubtedly entailed by a separate county organization they should be allowed to depart in peace and set up business for themselves.—Los Angeles Mirror. The citizens of Santa Ana assembled at Sycamore Hall some days ago to discuss the proposition to attempt the division of the County of Los Angeles, and the organization of the County of Orange. The meeting being brought about through similar steps having been taken by our neighboring town of Anaheim. Col. W. F. Heathman called the meeting to order and Mr. R. R. Darley was elected chairman and W. N. Barber secretary. Victor Montgomery of Anaheim was called upon to read the bill creating the new county. Various speeches were made on the subject. M. A. Peters moved that the sense of the meeting be in favor of division. The meeting was unanimously in favor of division. Dr. M. S. Jones nominated James McFadden as delegate to go to Sacramento to represent division. T. J. Ellis moved that a committee of five be appointed to circulate petitions. Dr. Jones, Dr. Lyle, J. H. Moesser, F. Isbell and T. J. Ellis were appointed by the chair as such committee. The meeting was then adjourned—Santa Ana Herald, Jan. 5, 1881. Anaheim, Calif., Jan. 29, 1931 If it appears advisable before ratifying a treaty to make a few reservations to protect the interests of Uncle Sam, certain old fashioned Americans may think that all such reservations should be made by the Senate rather than by some cunning European diplomat. Owen D. Young, who has suggested that we will have to level our standard of living with the rest of the world, is now telling the government how to run its foreign affairs and his reasons to have the unanimous approval of Nicolas Murray Butler. Guardian of the Family "My father, who is past 75, shares our bottle of Syrup Pepsin with his little great-granddaughter aged three. And when I feel constipated, with headache and biliousness, I also get my share of Syrup Pepsin.
