BRUCE BARTON writes of "THE MASTER EXECUTIVE" Supplying a week-to-week inspiration for the heavy-burdened who will find every human trial paralleled in the experiences of "The Man Nobody Knows." THE VOICE OF AUTHORITY Success is always exciting; we never grow tired of asking what and how. What, then, were the principal elements in Jesus' power over men? How was it that the boy from a country village became the greatest leader? First of all he had the voice and manner of the leader — the personal magnetism which begets loyalty and commands respect. The beginnings of it were present in him even as a boy. John felt them. On the day when John looked up from the river where he was baptizing converts and saw Jesus standing on the bank, he drew back in protest. "I have need to be baptized of three," he exclaimed, "and comest thou to me." The lesser man recognized the greater instinctively. We speak of personal magnetism as though there were something mysterious about it — a magic quality bestowed on one in a thousand and denied to all the rest. This is not true. The essential element in personal magnetism is a consuming sincerity—an overwhelming faith in the importance of the work one has to do. Most of us go through the world mentally divided against ourselves. We wonder whether we are in the right jobs, whether we are making the right investments, whether, after all, anything is as important as it seems to be. Our enemies are those of our own being and creation. Instinctively we wait for a commanding voice for one who shall say authoritatively, "I have the truth. This way lies happiness and salvation." There was in Jesus supremely that quality of conviction. Even very successful people were moved by it. Jesus had been in Jerusalem only a day or two when there came a knock at his door at night. He opened it to find Nicodemus, one of the principal men of hte city; a member of the Sanhedrin, a supreme court judge. One feels the dramatic quality of the meeting—the young, almost unknown, teacher and the great man, half curious, half convinced. It would have been easy to make a mistake. Jesus might very naturally have expressed his sense of honor at the visit; have said: "I appreciate your coming, sir. You are an older man and successful. I am just starting on my work. I should like to have you advise me as to how I may best proceed." But there was no such note in the interview—no effort to make it easy for this notable visitor to become a convert. One catches his breath involuntarily at the audacity of the speech: "Verily, verily, I say to you, Nicodemus, except you are born again you cannot see the kingdom of Heaven." And a few moments later, "Thave told you earthly things and you have not believed, how shall you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" The famous visitor did not enroll as a disciple, was not invited to enroll; but he never forgot the impression made by the young man's amazing self-assurance. In a few weeks the crowds along the shores of the Sea of Galilee were to feel the same power. Next Week: A LEADER OF MEN Copyright, Bobbs-Merrill Company Stephenson of Boyhe (Continued from Remembers) The railroad from Savannah was soon torn up; car line from Orange which had an arrangement horse, or mule, could off of the car from El Manso; the car coming down discontinued. The car Santa Ana and Tustin for a few years, and the line between Santa Ana kept going for years. Orange county who does that picturesque old times ignominiously cut nut-roaster," that was those two towns under old friend Tolle? And horses used to take fries. I well remember a day at the old Yarnell park west of Orange. A train came down from Los Angeles interest in the affair with huge pile of waterman the place for the use of it. It must have been that the old schoolhouse mysteriously burned out school the next fall, with Armor, for many years Orange Post, as my all the years that Mr. Post, the things they ed there, and the co irrigation county affair by Samuel Armor, he read with great interest paper at Orange was that fine old gentleman. Empty Monument One picture of the boom stands out in my her big force of brass the work on the new at Orange. This building big jump forward for Boom broke before the ed, as a hotel, and there a monument to THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON Not since the early days of the century, when Theodore Roosevelt was President, has so much violent criticism of governmental methods and public men appeared in print as has been coming out in the past year or so. It is the sort of stuff which President Roosevelt denounced as "muckraking." Nobody in Washington is exempt, from the President down. There is hardly a member of Congress, or a public official above the grade of bureau chief who has not been bitterly attacked by the group of Washington newspaper men who are writing books and magazine articles. The latest of these exposures is a book which gives the record of the expense bills and mileage charges collected by numerous Senators and representatives. Few people realize that, under a law enacted more than fifty years ago, every member of both Houses is entitled to collect forty cents a mile from the treasury at the beginning and end of each session of Congress, as traveling expense. That dates back almost to the stage coach days, when travelling was really expensive and necessarily slow. A member from the Pacific Coast, who pays about $275 for his railroad and pullman fares in going to Washington and returning home, draws more than $1,300 for those expenses, under this forty-cents-a-mile law. And if a special session follows immediately on the heels of a regular session, as is often the case, the Government pays each member a round trip expense allowance of forty cents a mile, even if they don't leave Washington between the two sessions. Such revelations as these are stirring up a lot of questions back in the home states and districts, and it is no secret here that a great many statesmen in both Houses are considerably worried. A very interesting list has been compiled of Senators and representatives who have put members of their own families on Uncle Sam's payroll as secretaries, committee clerks and the like. That is another old Washington magnetism is a consuming sincerity—an overwhelming faith in the importance of the work one has to do. Most of us go through the world mentally divided against ourselves. We wonder whether we are in the right jobs, whether we are making the right investments, whether, after all, anything is as important as it seems to be. Our enemies are those of our own being and creation. Instinctively we wait RILEY, husband and wife, and recorded on August 30, 1929, in Book 297, page 492.

Dale Bell, Assistant Trust Officer, (Successor to the First National Bank of Anaheim, a corporation, of Anaheim, California.) member a round trip expense allowance of forty cents a mile, even if they don't leave Washington between the two sessions. Such revelations as these are stirring up a lot of questions back in the home states and districts, and it is no secret here that a great many statesmen in both Houses are considerably worried. A very interesting list has been compiled of Senators and representatives who have put members of their own families on Uncle Sam's payroll as secretaries, committee clerks and the like. That is another old Washington custom. The statement has been made here that at least twenty-four men of both houses have failed of renomination because of these exposures. Bonus Again in December! Washington is wondering what will happen next winter when Congress reconvenes and the American Legion, as an organization, makes its demand for immediate cashing of the veterans' bonus certificates. With a majority of the state conventions of the Legion having endorsed that demand, it begins to loom as one of the major problems which the authorities in Washington must face. The Congress which meets in next December will be the same Congress that adjourned in July, since the new members to be elected in November will not begin their terms until March 4th. Nobody in or out of the Administration is able to advance even a guess as to where the money would come from to pay out $3,000,000,000 in immediate cash. NOTICE OF SALE BY TRUSTEE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on the 19th day of October, 1932, at the hour of ten o'clock A.M. of said day, at the South entrance to the Orange County Court House, in the City of Santa Ana, County of Orange, State of California, the BANK OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION (the successor to all the rights, powers and duties of the First National Bank of Anaheim, a corporation of Anaheim, California, organized and existing at the time of the execution of the deed of trust herein referred to) as Trustee under a certain deed of trust executed by HARRY D. RILEY and ALICE E. Stephenson Tells of Boyhood Days (Continued from page 1) Remembers Boom The railroad from Santa Ana to Fairview was soon torn up. The old-horse-car line from Orange to El Modena, which had an arrangement so that the horse, or mule, could ride on the rear of the car from El Modena to Orange, the car coming down by gravity, was discontinued. The car line between Santa Ana and Tustin struggled along for a few years, and then died, but the line between Santa Ana and Orange kept going for years. Who is there in Orange county who does not remember that picturesque old "dummy," sometimes ignominiously called "the peanut-roaster," that was run between those two towns under the hand of our old friend Tolle? And how the country horses used to take fright at the thing? I well remember a big boom auction at the old Yarnell place a half-mile west of Orange. A train-load of people came down from Los Angeles. My own interest in the affair was centered in a huge pile of watermelons brought to the place for the use of the crowd. It must have been along about 1886 that the old schoolhouse at Orange mysteriously burned down. I started school the next fall, with Mrs. Alice L. Armor, for many years editor of the Orange Post, as my first teacher. In all the years that Mrs. Armor owned the Post, the things that were published there, and the controversies over irrigation county affairs entered into by Samuel Armor, her husband, were read with great interest. The other paper at Orange was the News, run by that fine old gentleman, James Fullerton. Empty Monuments One picture of the closing of the big boom stands out in my mind. I remember the big force of bricklayers rushing the work on the new Rochester Hotel at Orange. This building was to be the big jump forward for Orange. And the boom broke before the place was opened, as a hotel, and for years it stood there a monument to the enthusiasts. the idea of using poles and pulleys. One edge of the tent was drawn to the tops of two poles, set on opposite sides of the tree, and with a rope attached to the tops of the pole. The tent was drawn over the tree. This method of handling the tents quickly supplanted the derricks. Eggs Legal Tender And while the pests were attacking the orchards, the system of marketing oranges and lemons held the industry down. Commission merchants got their share of what the oranges might bring, and the railroads got the rest. The grower frequently got red ink. Growers were at the mercy of buyers and commission men, who generally, were nontoo merciful. Many a pioneer citrus grower of that period would have starved to death if it hadn't been for his cow and his chickens. Eggs were legal tender those days at Orange where I lived, and I suppose they were all over the county. This situation was changed by the organization of co-operative associations under the California Fruit Growers Exchange. It was a long hard pull for the associations, and nothing but the memory of those "red ink" years kept the growers from disintegrating. The success of this kind of organization, as we all know, spread to other industries, so that there is never likely to be a grower industry in this county that will have to go through the trying period in marketing that marked orange or lemon growjg as residents of the Santa Ana valley knew it in the '90's. My acquaintanceship with communities other than Orange began with the '90's when I attended the Santa Ana high school, the only high school in the county. It is hard to make a schoolboy these days believe that Bob Northcross and I walked to school back and forth from Orange, and thought nothing of it, and when I tell them that Don Buren walked back and forth from Villa Park and that Alphonso Fossek rode a bicycle from Anaheim every day to school, they think I'm romancing Bry Williams, now cashier of the First National Bank of Santa Ana, rode in a cart from Villa Park to Santa Ana high school, and at the same time carried the mail between the Villa Park post office, since discontinued, and the old others, for he had been my seat-mate through classes in zoology and physics. Torres Lynched I was a youngster of 12 when a series of events that will stand out in the history of the county, and especially in the minds of old-timers occurred. It was the murder of McKelvey at the Modjeska ranch in Santiago canyon by Torres. I knew Torres as a woodchopper. Several of us from West Orange going to school at Orange used to bandy Mexican words with him a lot while he was at work for Frank Carpenter of Orange chopping down and cutting up a long row of old fashioned pepper trees, such as dozens of our roads used to be lined with, on West Chapman street, Orange. At Modjeska's, where he worked, Torres quarreled with McKelvey over his poll tax, struck McKelvey over his head with a club and stabbed him. Torres was brought back from Mesa Grande, in San Diego county, and was put in jail in Santa Ana. One night Robert Cogburn, the jailer, was over-powered, and Torres was taken to the northeast corner of Fourth and Main streets, and there lynched. I believed Torres has the distinction of being the only man lyncened in the county since its organization in 1889. We know, of course, that there were lynchings in earlier years. Back in the late '50's, General Andres Pico strung up a couple of bandits to a sycamore tree that still stands about two miles south of the County Park. Enters Newspaper Work So far in these reminiscences, I have been dwelling mostly in the years when the county was passing from pioneer days down into modern years, when the days of dusty streets, wooden sidewalks and wooden awnings were gradually giving way to concrete sidewalks and streets. I became intimately connected with newspaper work in the county in 1906, a few days before the San Francisco earthquake and fire. The Santa Ana Register was a small 8-page paper needing lots of filler ads and leaded type to get by. It had been started by James McFadden, long a political leader in this county, and others who did not like the Santa Ana Blade and its editor, Horace McPhee, a master of sarcasm and adept in the kind of newspaper attacks with which readers of early newspapers of this county are quite Empty Monuments One picture of the closing of the big boom stands out in my mind. I remember the big force of bricklayers rushing the work on the new Rochester Hotel at Orange. This building was to be the big jump forward for Orange. And the boom broke before the place was opened, as a hotel, and for years it stood there a monument to the enthusiasm and optimism, as well as to the instability and gambles, of the boom. But monuments like that were everywhere evident in Orange county in those fifteen or eighteen years following the "busting" of the boom. There was not a community in this county that did not have empty stores, empty houses, mortgaged properties going for their incumbrances, deflated values — all of the depression that comes when the pendulum swings back after a movement such as Southern California experienced in the '80's. Growers Flight Pests Then, during the '90's, the San Jose scale struck our orange and lemon orchards, and it looked as though the citrus industry was doomed to meet the fate of the vineyards wiped out by vine disease a few years before. With pest control in our orchards nowadays scientifically handled, it is hard for newcomers to realize the thing orchardists were up against when this red scale began its devastating attack. With little capital to experiment with, the growers fought as best they could. Vats were put out in the back yards, and rosin, caustic soda and water were boiled into a spray that sometimes did as much harm as good when applied to the trees. Then Dr. Walt of Tustin and A. D. Bishop of Orange got to experimenting with cyanide, sulphuric acid and water, seeking the deadly gas that they finally put into use and which has been in use ever since. Many trees were burned before it was found that the gas could be used with safety at night. The first fumigation outfits were awkward affairs. Huge derricks were erected on wagons, and from crossarms tents were drawn into the air. While men held desperately to guy ropes, the derricks were moved from tree to tree. Most of the orchards those days were seedlings, and trees were mountains as to hills when compared with our valencias of today, and the tents lifted into the air were very big and very heavy. However, someone conceived Bosch—So Mrs. Lipton doesn't speak well of anybody? Josch—No, she has an impediment in her voice. It is hard to make a schoolboy these days believe that Bob Northcross and I walked to school back and forth from Orange, and thought nothing of it, and when I tell them that Don Buren walked back and forth from Villa Park and that Alphonso Fossek rode a bicycle from Anaheim every day to school, they think I'm romancing Bry Williams, now cashier of the First National Bank of Santa Ana, rode in a cart from Villa Park to Santa Ana high school, and at the same time carried the mail between the Villa Park post office, since discontinued, and the old station at Wanda on the Anaheim-Tustin line of the S. P. Recalls Track Meet Alphonso Fossek! What memories his name brings back. A fine lad he was, square-built, a champion athlete of the Anaheim Turn Verein. In one of the old Turn Verein meets at San Juan By-The-Sea, Alphonso won the medal for best all-around athlete in the contest. He entered high school with his reputation for ability as an athlete already earned, and that reputation was not in the least dimmed as a half-back he played on Santa Ana high school's first football teams; along with Emerson J. Marks and John T. Nourse, both of whom are now judges of the appellate court of this state, Bob Northcross, Bry Williams, "Stormy" (Claude) Swopé, Sterling Price, Jay Baker, and Oscar Edinger. He took many points in the first track meet ever held by a high school. Among the main events were bicycle races, the high kick and the broad jump. Hurdles were made by placing bamboo fishing poles across carpenter's horses. Dr. Chilton, now of Fullerton, was one of the high school's star bike riders. It has always seemed to me that Alphonso Fossek would have gone far in this world had he lived. Death took him while he was in high school, and some of us carried him to his grave in the old Anaheim cemetery east of the town. It seemed to me then, and now, that his death grieved me more than the VALENCIA LAUNDRY OF ANAHEIM "Your Own Laundry" We are giving you the finest work obtainable and we are deserving of your patronage.

One of the first editorials that greeted me was a fatherly one in Henry Kuchel's Anaheim Gazette, warning me to beware Jim McFadden and his gang. Throughout all my years of newspaper work I have appreciated greatly the friendship of the old veteran of the Gazette. There never was a time when I wouldn't go far to do him the slightest favor. Extends Congratulations I look back with keen pleasure upon the various political campaigns that have taken place this past quarter of a century. It was just a day ago, it seems, when Dick Molrose of Anaheim was a genial, capable attorney and power in politics; when the Anaheim Gazette looked forward with glee to a Democratic convention so that "Roarin' Bill" Heathman might be heard in all his glory; when Walter Parker of Los Angeles, as king-pin in the Southern Pacific political machine, had hentenants down this way. The days of the old conventions have passed. How the politicians did love those gatherings? One of the regrets of my life is that I was too young to get in on more than two or three of them. It gives me a lot of pleasure to extend my congratulations to Henry Kuchel and his Gazette. Their fearlessness throughout all these years, their forcefulness and their influence ought to be the envy of the younger generation of newspapermen. It has been a privilege to me to have been in newspaper work in this county a quarter of a century. What a greater privilege it has been for Henry Kuchel that he can look back over many, many more years than that. I feel like a youngster beside him, and I take off my hat and say to him, "Henry, Gold bless you." ATWATER KENT RADIO— $52.50 up FEARN RADIO ELECTRIC SHOP 273 E.
