Anaheim took on the appearance of a “deserted village,” although many flags were displayed. Anaheim in Parade Anaheim was represented in the gorgeous morning parade in Santa Ana streets by a number of floats, one of which was by the Chamber of Commerce, The local Legion’s drum and bugle corps marched in the long line, and in one of the flag-bedecked autos Santa Ana Puttin’ One Ovah on Us The county seat of Santa Ana is "suttnily puttin' it ovah" Anaheim in re new postoffice. Here is Anaheim with $130,000 coming some day from Uncle Sam, who talked Congress out of the appropriation, but where our new post-office is to be located, or when, seems to be around the same corner where the depression lifters are hiding. But Santa Ana—look at 'er! Her new postoffice is built and the federal bank examiner and income tax collector have moved in. But Postmaster Terry Stephenson may not get into his new quarters until around the first of the new year as there has been a delay in shipping his lock boxes. Soil of France For Memory Trees Santa Ana Gold Star Mothers Hold Ceremonies for Memory Lane Planting Tear-wet soil from Flanders Field, in far off France, was used in the tree planting ceremonies on Memory Lane yesterday, when the Gold Star Mothers of Santa Ana planted four trees at Flower street and Fairhaven avenue in Anaheim in Parade: Anaheim was represented in the gorgeous morning parade in Santa Ana streets by a number of floats, one of which was by the Chamber of Commerce. The local Legion's drum and bugle corps marched in the long line, and in one of the flag-bedecked autos rode Mayor Miller and members of the city council. There were five different entries in the pageant by the Anaheim Union high school, its float being made at the school. It was of ancient Rome design and at each corner marched a high school boy arrayed as a poet of old Greece. The high school cadet corps in uniform, the drum and bugle corps and the Union band were also in the parade. Company K in Line: Anaheim's National Guard company K, commanded by Capt. Dean Love, marched in the Third battalion of the 15th infantry. Another feature from Anaheim was 135 cadets and the band from St. Catherin's military academy. The girls' band of Saint Joseph's academy, arrayed in natty uniforms of blue and white with white caps, rode in a gaily decorated float. The local 20-30 club joined with others of the county in arraying a float with the title of "Winter Sports," which attracted much attention from the spectators who lined the streets. Gold Star Mothers: One of the flag-arrayed autos from Anaheim carried Gold Star mothers, the auto being provided by the local Legion auxiliary. The Anaheim Elks formed a marching unit, carrying a huge flag. The local Kiwanis club club joined with others in the county in sponsoring a float showing spectators at the Olympic games, the float being filled with youngsters from the Orange County Health camp. Fifteen members of the Anaheim Rotary club marched in the unit made up of clubs from over the county. The Boy Scouts of Anaheim with drum and bugle corps were in the long and spectacular parade. In the mounted division were many members of the El Rodeo club, arrayed in picturesque western attire. ARMISTICE DAY IN CHURCHES: The pastoress in a number of Anaheim churches took Armistice Day as a subject for the sermons last Sunday. The Rev. Edward Burgl, of Salem Evangelical, spoke on "The Woe of the World." The Rev. Dr. R. W. Lee, of the White Temple M. E. preached on "The Temple of Peace." Santa Ana Gold Star Mothers Hold Ceremonies for Memory Lane Planting Tear-wet soil from Flanders Field, in far off France, was used in the tree planting ceremonies on Memory Lane yesterday, when the Gold Star Mothers of Santa Ana planted four trees at Flower street and Fairhaven avenue in that city. Women Give Soll: Madam Ernestine Schumann-Heinke contributed one jar of the soil. Two other jars were donated by Mrs. Louis Fleckenstein, president of the National Tree Protective association and honorary president of the Memory Lane association. Dr. W. L. Bigham of Anaheim, chairman of the Orange County Planning commission, gave some poppy seeds from Flanders Field, which were planted near the Gold Star trees. Precious War Memorial: The Santa Ana Legion Post, Jack Fischer post of Disabled American Veterans and the Santa Ana drum corps provided the music for the ceremonies. Memory Lane promises to be one of the most precious of Orange county's war memorials; the lane extending from Recreation park in Long Beach to Irvine park, the trees to be living reminders of the men perished in the World War. Red Cross to Have Intensive Roll Call: The Anaheim chapter of the American Red Cross will begin its annual roll call on November 12 and continue it until the 21st with 1000 members as the goal. It is to be a short, intensive effort, with the purpose of having it over by Thanksgiving, which comes five days after the campaign closes. The chairman of the movement is H. N. White and headquarters will be opened at his hardware store at 132 East Center street on November 12; with attendees always on duty to receive memberships, which will be $1 each. No house-to-house canvass is to be made. In addition to the headquarters, tables will be set up at various community centers, where memberships may also be received, these points being at Palm and Center, Five Pointe, the Anton market at Lemon and Los Angeles, Leanon and Center, Los Angeles and Center. Half of each dollar will remain in the treasury of the local chapter, and it will be needed, for Mrs. R. W. Balch, chapter secretary, says that much of the relief work done in Anaheim dur... ARMISTICE DAY IN CHURCHES The pastorse in a number of Anaheim churches took Armistice Day as a subject for the sermons last Sunday. The Rev. Edward Burgl, of Salem Evangelical, spoke on "The Woe of the World." The Rev. Dr. R. W. Lee, of the White Temple M. B., preached on "The Temple of Peace." The Rev. H. G. Schmelzer spoke at the English and German services of Zion Lutheran church on "The Two-Fold Citizenship of a Christian." "The Peace of the World and the Prince of Peace" was the subject of the Rev. V. K. Ledbetter of Calvary Baptist church at the morning service. Y. M. C. A. Continues Drive for Funds The Y. M. C. A. is continuing its campaign for funds as subscriptions are still short of the desired goal of $5555. The fund amounted to $3550.25, when a report was made Tuesday evening. Members of the board have taken names of persons who have not yet subscribed and their subscriptions will be sought. It is expected a more favorable report will be made at the board's annual meeting on Dec. 10. The board has decided to move its downtown office to the association building. HENRY A. ACTON DIES Henry A. Action, a native of Indiana and a resident of Anaheim for the last nine years, died at his home on Lincoln avenue last Saturday. He was a chemist and was formerly employed by the Crystal Chemical Co. here. He was a member of the First Presbyterian church in Brinkley, Arkansas, and also of the Old Fellows' lodge of that place. The funeral service was at the Backs, Terry & Campbell chapel Tuesday morning, the Rev. T. H. Walker officiating. Burial was in Anaheim cemetery. Mr. Action is survived by Mrs. Acton; a daughter, Miss Virginia; and four sons, Richard L., Wilson N., Hayes H. and William, all of Anaheim. Walnut Crop Very Light This Season The packing of walnuts will close for the season on November 20, says Walter Ross, manager of the Anaheim Walnut association. The first pool, and the only one operated this season, closes on that date. Mr. Ross also said that growers must have their walnuts in the packing plant by November 15 so that the packers will have time to grade and pack the walnuts by the end of the season. The walnut output is only about half what it was last year, said Mr. Ross, or 260 tons this year compared to 465 tons last year. The crop is not only light, but the season would have been concluded had not so much time been required to sorting and packing. The grading has not been easy because of the difficulty in getting them sorted to run the standard 80 percent. Mr. Ross has arranged to have culls graded at the Santa Ana plant, instead of sending them to the Los Angeles plant. In addition to the headquarters, tables will be set up at various community centers, where memberships may also be received, these points being at Palm and Center, Five Points, the Anton market at Lemon and Los Angeles, Lemon and Center, Los Angeles and Center. Half of each dollar will remain in the treasury of the local chapter, and it will be needed, for Mrs. R. W. Balch, chapter secretary, says that much of the relief work done in Anaheim during the coming winter will fall upon the local organization. The Goodwill Industries has had a contract with the city giving it exclusive right to collect clothing and other discarded articles, but because of encroachments, the contract has been cancelled which takes from the city treasury $60 a month which the Goodwill has paid for the privilege of making the collections. Unless the city finds a way to make up this $60 monthly shrinkage, the welfare department will feel the effects, and the Red Cross may have to take over the city department's welfare work. House Cleaning Units House cleaning' is now in the park. In addition to changes which are being made lawns are being fertilized tables are being dolled paint and the seatstof theatre are being oiled in for rainy weather. To give the park a gay winter, a bed of marigold planted in a plot 30 by 12 bed of cinerarias is also being for spring blooming.

Superintendent Rudolph Boysen is making the necessary changes this Fall by taking over the children's playground, sowing to lawn seed, the added space to give room for 40 more tables. The equipment or the playground is being moved to the Palm and Cypress corner to the race immediately adjoining the swans wading pool. 10,000 Visitors Last Summer During the past summer more than 6,000 people have revealed in the enquiry which the park offers. The enlarged picnic grounds will give more inclusion to the large picnics and will live the smaller groups more room at the tables near the outdoor stoves. Is the superintendent’s idea to have tables and stoves available for 30 small enclosures, and if the park continues to increase in favor all of the additional facilities will be needed. “House Cleaning” Under Way “House-cleaning’ is now under way the park. In addition to the picnic ranges which are being made, all the Talks Hold-Up Man Out of His Money As Arthur Roquet, like the old king in his counting house, was counting out his money, Tuesday evening, a hold-up man came into his grocery at 602 East Broadway. The groceryman had his money spread out on a counter, silver money, paper money and some checks, counting up the cash receipts of the day, before closing. The hold-up man carried a big pistol and while Mr. Roquet looked at the weapon pointed at him, he was disposed to reason with the robber. “This silver now,” said the grocery-man, “is too heavy for you to carry around in your pockets.” “I believe it is,” said the old-up man. “And these checks, they're no good to you.” “No, they’re not,” admitted the robber. So the hold-up gathered up paper money and small change to the amount of $25 and departed. He left $15 in silver and the checks behind. The police were notified, but the robber left no cards, or finger prints, or other marks of his identity. BUSINESS LICENSE PAID Anaheim’s city treasury was enriched by $271.50 in October by business license sold, $264 being for license and $7.50 as penalties for delinquents. Dog license turned in for the month amounted to $2, according to James S. Bouldin, city tax collector. 244 Precincts Now In Orange County New “Set Up” Increases Number 55, as Approved by Supervisors A new “set up” of boundaries made by County Clerk J. M. Backs has been adopted by the board of supervisors, which increases the number of voting precincts in Orange county from 189 to 244. Mr. Backs said that it would be economy to establish permanent boundaries now, in view of the fact that the new registration law goes into effect next year. After that time, he said, changes in boundaries would be expensive. Under the new arrangement, there is an increase from 19 to 24 in the number of Anaheim precincts; Fullerton from 16 to 24; Orange from 14 to 20. Santa Ana from 56 to 71. Buena Park from 2 to 5. Costa Mesa from 3 to 7. Laguna Beach from 3 to 6. Newport Beach from 5 to 7. Placentia City from 1 to 2. Cypress from 1 to 2. Stanton from 1 to 2. Katella from 1 to 2. San Juan Capistrano from 1 to 3. The third precinct being called Doheny Park; East Tustin from 1 to 2. The new precinct of St. James was created from portions of Villa Park and Olive precincts, and a portion of El Pherson precinct. Many Other Changes East La Habra precinct was divided into two precincts called North and South La Habra.

In addition to the picnic changes which are being made, all the trees are being fertilized and tables are being dolled up with fresh paint and the seats of the outdoor theatre are being oiled in preparation for rainy weather. To give the park a gay color in mid-winter, a bed of marigolds is being planted in a plot 30 by 12 feet. A large bed of cinerarias is also being planted for spring blooming. Coral Tree Now in Bloom The floral feature of the park at present is a coral tree in bloom, of the variety often used for shading coffee plantations in Brazil. It produces a brilliant bloom of salmon shade and it is a flower seldom seen even in California. The coral tree was grown from seed planted by Mr. Boyce and this is the first season that it has bloomed. City Has Money In Strong Box City Treasurer Charles Boege reported to the council Tuesday night that the municipality of Anaheim has cash totalling $105,473.61 in its coffers, with a balance in the general fund of $94,836.66.

Orange Grower in Orchards of Italy John J. Dwyer Tells of Large Crops in Europe and Idleness in Cities Callforina orange and walnut growers might learn much to their advantage if they would take a trip to Italy, as did Mr. and Mrs. John J. Dwyer during the summer, while making a long tour of Central Europe and England. Mr. and Mrs. Cole Married 61 Years Pioneers Occupy Home They Built in Greenville in Bridal Year of 1871 NOW LIVE IN FIRST HOME Mr. Cole Tells of New Life in Orange County Mr. and Mrs. Alfred T. Cole recently celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary in the same home which they entered as bridegroom and bride, in the village of Greenville, in the old Newport district of this county, in 1871. Start for California In 1865, Alfred Cole, a boy of 18, was living in Texas with his parents. They were in the cattle business and they were contemplating a move westward. A man who had just returned from California came to the Cole ranch buying oxen. He was bubbling over with enthusiasm over the Golden State. He had them all but talked into going there before he left. The Coles talked it over with a neigh- John J. Dwyer Tells of Large Crops in Europe and Idleness in Cities California orange and walnut growers might learn much to their advantage if they would take a trip to Italy, as did Mr. and Mrs. John J. Dwyer during the summer, while making a long tour of Central Europe and England. The Italians of Southern Italy, as do the growers of Southern California, grow oranges, lemons and walnuts, and they compete in American markets with the Californians in selling these products. Land Is Kept Busy In Southern Italy, said Mr. Dwyer,—an orange grower himself—the growers do not confine themselves to one product on a given tract. It is not uncommon to see orange and walnut trees growing on the same tract, and under the trees are vineyards, while below the grape vines are crops of smaller growth, like beans. The Italians do not let their land stay idle, for with oranges, walnuts, grapes and beans growing on the same tract, there is something doing in the way of production much of the year. No Irrigation in Italy South Italy, like California, has long stretches of dry weather in summer, yet Mr. Dwyer did not see any irrigation of Italian orchards. "Italy has heavy rains through the spring," he said, "and it seems to be sufficient to keep the orchards and field crops growing through the summer. With such continuous use of the soil year after year, one would think the soil would become exhausted. But it seems not to. Its productivity is kept up by the liberal use of fertilizer." Farms Looked Prosperous All through Central Europe—Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Holland—the farming country was looking prosperous, said Mr. Dwyer. Crops last summer were heavy in all of those countries. But there was wide-spread depression prevailing, especially in the cities. There was no smoke pouring out of factory chimneys, indicating that there must be much unemployment. It countries where the dole is practiced taxes are very heavy, yet the people continue the practice paying their idle people. Of course, there are many poor people in the countries he and Mrs. Dwyer visited, "but I saw more poor people in Chicago on my way back to Anaheim than I saw in all Europe." Mr. Dwyer said. Few American Tourists "In countries on the continent, and also in England, the dwindling numbers of America tourists during the summer had a marked effect on business," he said. "None of the hotels were crowded port district of this county. In 1871. Start for California In 1865, Alfred Cole, a boy of 18, was living in Texas with his parents. They were in the cattle business and they were contemplating a move westward. A man who had just returned from California came to the Cole ranch buying oxen. He was bubbling over with enthusiasm over the Golden State. He had them all but talked into going there before he left. The Coles talked it over with a neighbor, who also had the California fever. Not long after the two families rounded up their cattle from the surrounding range, packed up their possessions and started the long trek to the land of their dreams. They took a thousand head of cattle between them. There was a constant danger from Indians, but the travelers finally reached El Paso without disaster. Long Horseback Ride It was at El Paso that the Coles first met the Hutchinson family, also bound for California. Twelve-year-old Miss Hutchinson, who rode a horse the entire distance from Texas to California, later became Mrs. Alfred Cole. Near Warner’s ranch in the mountains bordering Imperial Valley the enlarged party encountered a snow storm and lost thirteen head of cattle. The Coles had been selling off their cattle as they came westward and arrived at the little town of Gailitin (now Downey) on January 1, 1866, with ten yolk of oxen. It had taken them seven months to make the trip. In 1870 Alfred Cole, then 23, came to Orange county where he bought forty-five acres of land for fifteen dollars an acre. This acreage was covered with wild mustard and to clear it he merely touched a lighted match to it during the dry season. He then broke the land and put in corn and pumpkins, favorite crops of the time. Early Home-Making During the same year he began the construction of a frame house, hauling the lumber from Anaheim Landing and Newport. Completing his six-room dwelling, he returned to Gailitin for young Miss Hutchinson, who had been awaiting this event. They added a room or two to the house in later years and put on a second roof, but the place is practically unchanged in appearance from what it was sixty years ago. The Coles sunk a surface well and got plenty of water at five feet. They had a hand pump and a windmill. Artesian wells were developed in their district some years later, the first one being on the present site of the Holy Sugar factory near Santa Ana. Water Was Plentiful During those first years the Coles lived in Orange county the water was so near the surface that a garden flourished the year round without irrigation. Mrs. Cole, as a bride, planted peanut tree seeds and the giant pepper changes nect was divided led North and new precinct of out of Westburg precincts; was created from and Wintersburna precinct was not. known as North Orange and being continue precinct. Few American Tourists "In countries on the continent, and also in England, the dwindling numbers of America tourists during the summer had a marked effect on business," he said. "None of the hotels were crowded," said the traveler from Anaheim, "but their service was very fine and the food was wonderful. That there has been a marked reduction in the number of Americans going to Europe brought a corresponding reduction in the number of steamships between American and European ports. In the harbors of every European seaport, I saw large numbers of idle ships, particularly in French and Holland ports. I saw more idle men along the water fronts of Holland ports than anywhere else I went in Europe. "The effects of unemployment were also evident in the cities of Germany. In the beer gardens of Berlin, where usually crowds of Americans can be seen mingling with the Germans, business was very quiet. "Southern Europe has been feeling the general depression, but the people can get enough to eat because of the large crops from the farms. But in England the situation is different. The farms did not yield such big crops because of the unusually wet weather of the summer." FINES COLLECTED IN OCTOBER Judge Frank Tausch in his court report for October gives $836 as the amount in fines collected during the month, the largest amount ever collected in the local police court in one month. Fines paid for liquor law violations and disturbing the peace amounted to $531.

Crill, a Garden Grove citrus grower for the last 20 years, did so well as president of the Orange County Farm Bureau last year that he was re-elected to the presidency at the Santa Ana meeting, Thursday afternoon. One sign of his efficiency is, the bureau ran its membership up to 1604 during his administration, the highest in the bureau's history. Only one change was made in the administrative officers—Felton B. Browning of Tustin being elected vice-president, to succeed John R. Ragan of Villa Park. The others reelected were: S. W. Stanley, Tustin, treasurer; Roland D. Flaherty, secretary; J. A. Smiley, Orange, regional director. EASTON ATTENDS CONVENTION Robert Easton of the Pomegranate dairy of Anaheim returned today from the state dairy show and convention held this week at Oakland. A feature of the convention was a serious lecture on the newest methods of dairy management, delivered by professors of the State Agricultural college at Davis. "Business Ethics of Economics in the Dairy Industry" was the general theme of the convention.
