IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 28, 1908 There has been a very noticeable increase in the demand for small farms the past winter, mainly from city men. In some sections they have bought up nearly all the small ranches on the market paying good prices for them and generally making the entire payment in cash. Most of the purchasers are American born merchants and tradesmen, who have been raised on the farm. They have saved a little money and now they naturally turn back to the land where they know a comfortable living rewards honest intelligent effort. This class of citizens is a large gain to our community and ought to be encouraged by the people of Anaheim. Mrs. Louisa Luedke, mother of Mrs. T. J. F. Boege, died at the family home on West Center on Wednesday morning; May 27th, at 3 o'clock. She was aged 90 years, 7 months and 1 day. She had been a resident of Anaheim since September, 1864. Death resulted from the infirmities of old age. The funeral will occur on Friday, May 29th, at 10 o'clock. The remains will be taken to Los Angeles for cremation. Deceased was well and favorably known by all residents of Anaheim; she having been one of the Pioneers of this section. For years she had resided with her daughter, Mrs. Boege, and despite her extreme age retained her mental faculties to the last. She had been ill for several months past, and gradually sank to rest. Peace to her as His. R. H. Gilman, one of the pioneer residents of Placentia, contemplates leaving shortly for Pasadena, where he owns realty, and where he purposes erecting a residence, which he will make his future home. Mr. Gilman has not disposed of his orchard at Placentia but will place a man in charge of it. He settled in Placentia, January 1, 1873. He has since resided there and has prospered along with all other orange and walnut growers of that section. He was recently asked to place a price upon forty acres.

Mr. Gilman has not disposed of his orchard at Placentia but will place a man in charge of it. He settled in Placentia, January 1, 1873. He has since resided there and has prospered along with all other orange and walnut growers of that section. He was recently asked to place a price upon forty acres of his holdings, and fixed the price at $2000 per acre. When he entered on the ranch the Spanish term to all the Placentia country was the Rancho Pures Nada, which, translated into English means the ranch of pure nothing. Now it is doubtless the richest tract of orchard land in Southern California. Mr. Gilman's many friends throughout the county will note with regret his approaching departure, but will be reconciled by the fact that he will make frequent visits to his former home in this county. The senior class of Anaheim high is actively rehearsing the two-act comedy, "Powder and Patches" which will be presented at the opera-house the evening of June 10th. Following is the cast of characters: Mr. Richard Carter, a Virginia gentleman, Milbird T. Wray; Mistress Carter, his wife, Alice Grimshaw; Agnes Carter, their daughter, Helen Richardson; Betty Sinclair, a Quakeress, Agnes Christensen; Lady Seraphina Burlingame, an English lady, Alma Yoern; Sir Charles Mawly, an old beau, John Wells; Captain Edward Peyton, Lieutenant Robert Burns, officers in the Continental army, Oscar Heying, Leland Lewis; Geranium, Gabriel, servants in the household of Mr. Carter, Ruth Dutton, George Hagar. Miss E. Kate Rae, secretary of the board of city library trustees, has an advertisement in this issue which will be found to be if interest to contractors and builders. The library board requests bids for the new $10,000 Carnegie library. Bids will be received up to 7 o'clock the evening of June 11th. Local contractors and builders are invited to look the advertisement up and govern themselves accordingly. A force of graders began some days ago at Los Nietos the work of grading the roadbed for the Huntington electric line which will extend through La Habra valley to Olinda. It was stated in town yesterday that a largely increased force of graders and track layers will be put on the line this week, and work on the road pushed to early completion. Miss Elsie Ziegler celebrated her birthday with a party at her parent's home on Sunday afternoon. Those present were Misses Emma and Alice Wisser, Ruby Cassou, Ida Heving, Elva Stark, Stella Haegle, Margueret Gletterman, Della Hook, Elsie and Mable Ziegler. Refreshments were served and an enjoyable party participated in. Members of the Y. M. C.

Refreshments were served and an enjoyable party participated in. Members of the Y. M. C. A. held an enjoyable donation party at their cottage on South Los Angeles street near the corner of Broadway, which is being fitted up as headquarters for the association. Furniture, pictures and other articles were donated. A large crowd was present and a pleasant meeting resulted. W. J. Cole, the well known Jersey dairyman of Hardschabble, was in town the early part of the week, bringing in some of the nicest butter seen in the market this year. Mr. Cole’s butter has long since achieved a reputation for excellence that is hard to beat. Gus and Hugo Strodthoff will begin the erection of a brick building on their lot on Center street, adjoining Hatzfeld’s drug store, which when completed will be occupied as a grocery store by Kincaid Brothers, recent arrivals from San Diego. The city band gave an open-air concert at the county park in Santiago canyon on Sunday. A large crowd of picnickers was present to hear the music and enjoy the outing under the umbrageous trees in the canyon. Charles E. Jones made an inspection trip to mining claims beyond Victorville owned by a syndicate of local people. He brings excellent reports of prospects, having found rich deposits of gold lead and copper ore. F. Ruhman and Max Nebelung have brought suit against A. C. Jennings on a note for $110, given August 26, 1903, and upon which no interest nor part of the principal has been paid. Fritz Martin writes from Tempe, A. T., renewing his subscription to this journal and sending regards to friends. Top of the morning Fritz. W. M. Wickett leaves on Friday for a month’s visit to the east and Canada. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 26, 1883 There are not in the whole length and breath of the state, better vineyards than those of Anaheim. This statement is not mere newspaper gush, but is deliberately and truthfully made. The vineyards in the northern counties, except in a few favored localities, are a constant anxiety to their owners, by reason of the numerous insect enemies of the vine. Growers of fruit trees, also, have to be on the alert continually from the same cause. Were it not for the ceaseless vigilance and active intelligence of the fruit growers of the north, the industry would be wiped out in a few years. In every little fruit center there are horticultural societies which meet regularly to discuss matters connected therewith. Such organizations have been found indispensable for the reason that it is only by an interchange of ideas that the many drawbacks encountered by the fruit grower can be coped with. How different is the state of affairs here in Anaheim. The attempt to maintain a horticultural society here failed principally for the reason there was nothing particular to discuss in connection with fruit-raising. If any fruit grower is discontented with his lot here, we prescribe as a cure a tour among the horticulturists in other counties. He will find that, compared with them, his lines have fallen in pleasant places. A goodly number of people assembled at Kroeger's hall last Friday evening. The occasion being the final ball of the Anaheim Social club—a calico party. A few from Santa Ana and Orange responded to the invitations sent to them, while the attendance from the suburbs was large. All report having passed a very pleasant night, as the fact of the party's only breaking up at 5 o'clock Saturday morning can testify. There was one cause for complaint; however—the music of the Downey band was engaged for the occasion and their playing was much criticised. Right here we may remark that it is a shame that Anaheim has no organized band to furnish music for parties and balls.

Right here we may remark that it is a shame that Anaheim has no organized band to furnish music for parties and balls. There is plenty of material here from which to form a good string band. Let our young men move in this matter and organize. From Mr. Robert Strong of Westminster we learn that matters and things are moving along in that burg with their accustomed smoothness. Mr. Strong's prediction, made in the Christmas number of the Gazette that the future industry of Westminster would be stock raising is being verified sooner than he expected. There are now in Westminster proper 3400 acres of pasture, fenced and cross-fenced, and had there been bounteous rains this year there would have been a couple of thousand acres more of alfalfa sown. Apple, pear and prune trees are bearing heavily but the crop of peaches and apricots will be scant. The Anaheim public schools will not close for the summer vacation until Friday, June 22nd—two weeks later than usual Heretofore the vacation has ended while yet the weather was unpleasantly warm and at a time when the various summer resorts were most attractive. This will be obviated hereafter by keeping the schools open until the end of June. If Mr. Hinton, the accomplished superintendent of schools, had known that such a rumpus would have followed his marriage he probably would have got married anyhow. Mrs. Hinton, nee Entwistle, was a teacher in the Spring Street school and her successor to that position was a young man to whom the children did not take kindly. Result—a general row in school and a thrashing administered by the male parent of one of the pupils. As a result of the epidemic of drummers all the stores have received invoices of new goods. Consult our advertising columns, go to the stores of those who speak to you through them and you will be convinced that there is neither profit nor sense in sending away from home to purchase articles of food or raiment. The proprietor of the Fairview store has placed upon the editorial table several packages of Ivory soap, not as an intimation that we need washing, but that we may try the soap and speak of its merits. It is good, and all who can afford to use soap should purchase the Ivory to the exclusion of any other. Note the change in Mr. Cheeseman's advertisement. The Presbyterian church has been enabled to enter upon a new era, and after June 1st will hold services regularly morning and evening, having the entire time of the pastor. There will be preaching as usual tomorrow at 11 a.m. Subject: "Purifying Hope." Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. Social prayer meeting Wednesday evening at 7:45. All are invited to attend these services. TODAY AND TOMORROW By Frank Parker Stockbridge WASHINGTON ... one industry I was in Washington for a few days recently, and what impressed me most was the utter ignorance of the people of Washington about what is going on in the rest of the world. Building industry is booming, constructing new Government buildings. Government employees are working every day, yelping mildly about a small reduction in salaries. Streets are crowded with ears, driven with the utmost recklessness and most inefficient traffic regulation. Stores are doing as good business as ever, at prices much higher than in New York Rents are almost up to the highest level. Washington has but one industry, the Government of the United States. It is so detached from the rest of the country that it might as well be in some other nation. It is difficult for the men who run the government to realize how bad conditions are elsewhere, when they see evidence all around them of great prosperity. I have long believed that it was a serious mistake to locate the seat of government away from the center of business, and industrial activity. If I could do it, I would move the Capitol and the White House to Chicago, which is where they ought to be if they are really to represent the American people effectively. LAND ... safest investment In spite of the fact that many owners of real estate have suffered great losses in the past few years, land remains the safest, soundest investment in the long run. The supply is limited, for one thing. Increasing population means increasing demand for land. Every baby born on Manhattan Island increases the value of the Woolworth building. The time to buy land is now. Dollars are high now; they will be much cheaper shortly. Land is cheap now; it will be much higher before long. The time to buy anything is when everybody else wants to sell. If you own land, hold on to it; if you have dollars, buy land with them for safety. Don't speculate in land! Pay for it and hold it. Don't speculate in anything on which you can't always realize something at a moment's notice. You can't move land around; you must wait until someone wants that piece at that spot. So buy land intelligently, in the path of the movement of popula- speak of its merits. It is good, and all who can afford to use soap should purchase the Ivory to the exclusion of any other. Note the change in Mr. Cheeseman's advertisement. The Presbyterian church has been enabled to enter upon a new era, and after June 1st will hold services regularly morning and evening, having the entire time of the pastor. There will be preaching as usual tomorrow at 11 a.m. Subject: "Purifying Hope." Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. Social prayer meeting Wednesday evening at 7:45. All are invited to attend these services. The Hamilton Royal Australian Minstrel troupe will perform at Kroeger's hall on Monday evening the 28th instant. 20 artists including Madero's great Sydney quartette, new and intricate stage effects. They give a fine show and their parade on the streets will no doubt be appreciated. Admission $1.00—No extra charge to reserve seats. We have been favored with a programme of the closing exercises of the Napa Ladies Seminary, which takes place on the 26. The valedictory will be delivered by Miss Julia Nye Hanna of Anaheim, who will also deliver an essay, the subject being, "Out of the House of Bondage." About one o'clock on Thursday morning a fire was discovered in the building on Main street, Los Angeles, in which the supreme court hold their meetings. The fire department succeeded in saving the building but the damage is estimated at $15,000. There is at present first-class feed in the mountains north of town, and nearly all the sheep left in the valley are being driven there for pasture. Over 200,000 head went through the Cajon pass during the past two weeks. Mr. W. M. Bailey has sold his twelve-acre homstead to F. H. Keith of Colorado for $4,500. Mr. Keith will take immediate possession and at once identify himself with our community. We extend to him a hearty welcome. The assignees of the Santa Ana Valley Bank have declared a second dividend of ten per cent. The Herald thinks the depositors will realize 60 per cent of their deposits. Several horses have been stolen in the vicinity of Orange and El Monte. Parties should not stake horses out, especially when they are so valuable. The Brooklyn bridge was dedicated on May 24th—the birthday of Queen Victoria—with great pomp and circumstance. EDUCATION learn to work My friend Walter Lippman, who also writes a column and, curiously enough, picked the same title for it as this column of mine, wrote something recently which seems to me the best statement of its kind I have ever seen: "The truly educative process," said Lippman, "consists in learning to deal with reality, that is to say with people and objects and events that are not the mere projection of one's own wishes. Education is a matter of putting away childish things, of discovering that events do not respond to words, of learning that the world is not in us but that we are in the world." Most of us live in a world of "wishful thinking." We'd like to be rich, and we dream of what we would do if we were rich, but we aren't willing to take all the trouble and worry on ourselves that anyone must take if he is to attain riches. Education, as Mr. Lippman points out, ought to teach youth that it must work for what it gets. Too many young people grow up these days with the idea that the world owes them a living. The world owes nobody anything for which he does not give a commensurate return in labor of one sort or another. COMPETITION new order For a great many years the United States has been committed to the principal that free competition in business and industry is, in the long run, the best way to get ahead. We set up anti- BRUCE BARTON writes of "THE MASTER EXECUTIVE" SERVICE, NOT SERMONS Jesus rose from his seat, drawn by that splendid outburst of faith and without hesitation or questioning he started. He went with the father whose daughter was dead. All his life He seemed to feel that there was no limit at all to what He could do, if only those who beseeched Him believed enough. Grasping the father's arm He led the way up the street, his disciples and the motley crowd hurrying along behind. They had several blocks to travel, and before their journey was completed another interruption occurred. A woman who had been sick for twelve years edged through the crowd, eluded the sharp eyes of the disciples and touched the hem of His garment. "For she said within herself, if I may but touch His garment, I shall be whole." What an idea. What a Personality His must have been to provoke such ideas. "My daughter is dead, but lay your hands on her and she will live." "I've been sick for twelve years; the doctors can do nothing, but if I only touch His coat I'll be all right." How can the artists possibly have imagined that a sad-faced weakling could ever inspire such amazing ideas as these! The woman won her victory. By that touch, by his smile, by the few words he spoke, her faith rose triumphant over disease. She "was made whole from that hour." Again He moved forward, the crowd pressing hard. The ruler's residence was now in plain sight. The paid mourners hired by the hour were busy about the doorway: they increased their activities as their employer came in sight—hideous walls and the dull sounding of cymbals—a horrible pretense of grief. Quickening his stride Jesus was in the midst of them. "Give place," He cried with a commanding gesture. "The maid is not dead but sleepeth." They laughed him to scorn. Brushing them aside he strode into the house and took the little girl by the hand. The crowd looked on dumbfounded, for at the magic of His touch she opened her eyes and sat up. Front page stories five and six. A women sick twelve years, and healed! A child whom the doctors had abandoned for dead, sits up and smiles! No wonder a thousand tongues were busy that night advertising His name and work. "The fame thereof went abroad into all that land," says the narrative. Nothing could keep it from going abroad. It was irresistible news! He was advertised by his service, not by His sermons; this is the second noteworthy fact. Nowhere in the Gospel do you find it announced that: Jesus of Nazareth Will Denounce The Scribes and Pharisees in the Central Synagogue Tonight at Eight o'Clock—Special Music.

Allen, Yuba City octogenarian, recently swallowed a dime which lodged in his right lung. Efforts of local surgeons to remove the coin proved unavailing and plans were made to enlist the services of a Los Angeles specialist, believed to be the only one in the state possessing equipment to handle such cases. Because of the advanced age of the patient, the operation was considered exceedingly delicate. Extreme care must be exercised, surgeons said, not to injure the lung tissue. Trust laws to prevent combinations and insure competition. Everyone who has given the matter even a little thought realizes that the anti-trust laws have not worked as they were expected to. Competition has proven ruinous in many industries; in the soft coal industry, for example, where the owner of a coal mine had to work it himself if he was to get anything out of it at all, instead of combining with other mine owners to produce only as much as the market would absorb and all share the profit. All the signs point to the discarding of all regulations prohibiting trade combinations and the establishment under Government supervision of groups and associations of manufacturers and producers to fix prices and determine all other trade conditions. That is, of course, going to make it harder for the ordinary man to get himself established in a competitive business or industry. It will result in the best men becoming employees instead of independent business men and the less than best dropping out of sight in the mass of humanity. That may be better for the social order, if we conceive that to be a system under which all humanity will eventually occupy the same plane of activity and income, but I greatly fear that when we take any steps to stifle the initiative of the individual and to limit his opportunities we will be abandoning the fundamental principle that has made America what it is.

This gives you instant relief, and reduces danger from infection. One good gargle and you can feel safe. If all soreness is not gone promptly, repeat. There's usually a cold with the sore throat, so before gargling take two tablets to throw off your cold, headache, stiffness or other cold symptoms. Bayer Aspirin relieves neuralgia, neuritis, too. You may use it freely, it does not hurt the heart. NO TABLETS ARE GENUINE BAYER ASPIRIN WITHOUT THIS CROSS
