Contestants will be confined to unmarried girls under nineteen years of age who reside in the high school district they seek to represent. Vote coupons from any newspaper may be cast for any contestant in any district. Ballot boxes supplied by the Orange Show will be placed in convenient places and are to be opened at desirable periods by a judging committee, the votes counted and credited to contestants. A beautiful cup, suitably engraved, will be awarded each district winner, and a large cup will be awarded the grand winner who will also receive a prize which is to be determined later by the Orange Show and Fair officials.

QR YOUR FAVORITE DEALER Writing of Wills Began Long Ago Three Drawn 2,000 Years B. C. Show Similarity With Those of Today OLDTIME WILLS NO SECRET What of Man Today, Who Leaves No Will? By ARTHUR G. PORTER Assistant Trust Officer, Anaheim Branch of Bank of America The beginning of the practice of making a will for the disposition of one's property, to take effect after death, is lost in antiquity. Egyptologists in recent years have unearthed many wills, some engraved on parchment, others cut into stone or on clay tablets. There are three which seem to antidate all others so far discovered, and were apparently written more than 4,000 years ago, something more than 2,000 B. C. It is interesting to note, quoting an eminent authority, that they are "so curiously modern in form, the wishes of the maker so plainly expressed and properly witnessed that they might almost be granted probate today." Two Outstanding Differences While there are many points of similarity in the making of wills today, with those of ancient and medieval times, there are one or two outstanding differences. Perhaps, the most noticeable being that contrary to the present day custom, wills were not secret. In early days, the very validity of a will depended upon a high degree of publicity. They were not revocable and once made could not be altered, while today only the last will made has any effect. After Justinian only written wills were legal and were called Praetorian wills. Seven witnesses were required to sign and seven others to seal the document. Wills of the Patriarchs Wills were in use in the days of the Patriarchs. Abraham lamenting his want of legitimate heirs, exclaimed that his steward, a servant born in his house, should take his estate. Jacob giving Joseph, his son, a portion of his inheritance above his brethren, must have done it by will. The man of today who dies and leaves no will, even though his estate be small, declares to the world that the future welfare of his loved ones is of no moment to him. Funeral Services for T. H. Danker The funeral services for Theodore H. Danker was held at the Buck's, Terry & Campbell chapel last Monday afternoon, at which the Rev. H. G. Schmelzer officiated, and burial was in the Anaheim cemetery. Mr. Danker died last Friday morning at his home, 804 West Broadway. He was 75 years old and had lived in Anaheim for 36 years. He came to California 40 years ago; first locating in Olive where he conducted a store and was postmaster. He later became engaged in ranching and retired in 1913. Mr. Danker was born in Schleswig, Denmark, and came to America 60 years ago, and became a sailor. He was in the U.S. Navy for three years, as a petty officer on the battleship Tennessee, and was only 17 years old when he joined the navy. He later went to Texas and became a school teacher at Bellville, where he married Miss Emma Baum in 1889. Of nine children, six of them, all of Anaheim survive him. They are: Mrs. Ada Felbaum, Mrs. Jennie Drinkler, Mrs. Clara Dorn, and three sons, Ralph, Benjamin and Ernest Danker. Unguarded Ditch Causes $15,000 Suit Horse Show and Rodeo April 11-12 Program of Trick Riding and Roping at Orange County Fair Grounds The first of what is expected to be an annual round-up or rodeo is to be held at the Orange County fair grounds on April 11 and 12. It is announced by John E. Hartwig, of Harve, Montana, promoter of cowboy sports. The program will be made up of a show of fine horses and games of horsemanship and, Hartwig says, the affair will be given on such a scale that he hopes the public will assist him in making the round-up a yearly event on a scale rivalling the round-ups at the Baker ranch, Livermore and Salinas. On Competitive Bases The round-up will be on strictly a competitive basis, while the trick roping features will be given by famous performers. Among these will be Gordon Jones, who made a name for himself at the rodeo in London, England; Frank Gusky and Hank Darnell, both topnotchers in the Tom Mix rodeo; Tillee Bowman, the only trick roper who has become a head-liner, and Monte Montana. The trick riders will be Mable Strickland, Paris Williams, Drew Stansfield, Ed Gullich and Buster Gulich, the last named being an eight year old sensation in the saddle. There will be two cowboy clowns to furnish fun—Jack Knapp and Jess Kell. Bronco Riding Contest In the bronco riding contest, noted riders have entered to not only compete for the prize money but the point awards of the Rodeo Association of America, under whose auspices this show is held. A gold and silver belt buckle and belt will be presented by the McCabe & Davis Saddlery Company of Hollywood, to the champion bronco rider. The steer Two Outstanding Differences While there are many points of similarity in the making of wills today, with those of ancient and medieval times, there are one or two outstanding differences. Perhaps, the most noticeable being that contrary to the present day custom, wills were not secret. In early days, the very validity of a will depended upon a high degree of publicity. They were not revocable and once made could not be altered, while today only the last will made has any effect. From early Roman writing comes down the fact that even the common men of the city had a very real horror of dying without a will. One of the bitterest curses that could be hurled against an enemy was the wish that he might go to his death with his will unmade. Wills of Ancient Romans In ancient Rome, before the twelve tables of Roman law and when the art of writing was little known, wills consisted of simply a verbal declaration before the general assembly of the people, called "Cimitia Colata". This assembly was held twice each year for this purpose, and the entire community acted as witnesses. The verbal will then became legal and was executed by the Pontiffs, on the death of the maker. Unguarded Ditch Causes $15,000 Suit An unguarded ditch on Westminster avenue in Santa Ana has let the county supervisors in for a $15,000 damages suit, which has been filed in the Superior court by Mrs. Edith Moore. She is the widow of the late Raleigh E. Moore. It is charged in the complaint that Moore was driving a heavy truck along the avenue on July 25, last year, and he ran his vehicle, loaded with canned tuna, into the deep ditch which was not guarded with danger signs. The truck caught fire and Moore was burned to death, it is charged. The question of damages has been before the supervisors before, but were not allowed. The present suit has been brought against members of the board and their bonding companies. Bronco Riding Contest In the bronco riding contest, noted riders have entered not only compete for the prize money but the point awards of the Rodeo Association of America, under whose auspices this show is held. A gold and silver belt buckle and belt will be presented by the McCabe & Davis Saddlery Company of Hollywood, to the champion bronco rider. The steer riding, calf roping and steer roping are also contested events and in addition to the all-around champion cowboy. The management anticipates a large entry in the stock horse class and cup will be awarded in this class, to be known as the John E. Hartwig trophy. The Anaheim Harness and Luggage Shop will award a prize for the fastest calf roper in which these are many entries. A parade will be held on Saturday morning, April 11, at ten on Broadway to First street and return to the grounds by way of Main street. This parade will be led by the Golden Palmino Cowboy band.
