IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 50 Years Ago April 30, 1891 President Harrison and party in a special train whisked through Anaheim this morning at 2 o'clock. They were bowling down on their way to San Diego and Coronado. They arrived in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon and were accorded a most hearty welcome. Mayor Hazard had declared the day a legal holiday, and the city turned out in real holiday attire. The presidential party were met at Yuma ("the threshold of California"), by Governor Markham and others of the California reception committee. An unlimited quantity of fruits and flowers were taken along to present to the distinguished visitors. Today at San Diego the President will be tendered an ovation. The party returns this afternoon and will stop at Santa Ana for a few minutes. The President will probably make a short address there. The train proceeds thence to Orange, where in switches off to Riverside. Although the pleasure of seeing the President in Anaheim was denied us, many of our citizens went to Los Angeles yesterday to attend the ovation and jubilee. Long live the President! Beginning May day and continuing every Sunday thereafter during the season there will be a picnic at the Landing. There will be dancing, boating, fishing and a 25 Years Ago 25 Years Ago The authorities will rigidly enforce the non-sprinkling law during fires and users of city water are asked to more closely observe the rules in such cases. The scanty pressure in the outlying districts is caused in the main by water being used for various other purposes during fire alarms and the matter is considered a serious one. The city council discussed the matter at its last meeting and no doubt the law in this regard will be rigidly enforced. B. F. Porter of Orange thorpe informs us that there will be a large crop of oranges this season and the quality will be very good. Mr. Porter believes better prices would be obtained by growers if the various associations could route their fruit so certain markets would not be flooded. The problem is a difficult one to handle, but there is no such word as fail, and perhaps in time associations will consult each otter in a more definite way as to the routing of fruit to eastern markets. The Eastern Star Whist club met at Masonic Temple Friday afternoon. Mrs. Huelster and Mrs. Mullinix being the hostesses. Refreshments were served at the close of the game. Mrs. Robert McKee was the lucky winner of the first prize, and Mrs. Eva Boyd was awarded the second.

Government statistics show that the average family should not spend more than one-fourth of the monthly income for rent. The same is true in buying a home. This one-fourth should cover payments on loan, taxes, interest and insurance. Using this as a basis, we find that a person can pay the equivalent of two to 2½ years' income for a house, to be paid for in a period of 20 years. This means if John Doe earns $1800 per year he should pay no more than $4500 for a house and lot, with a down payment of 10% or $450. A clear lot may be used as the equivalent of a down payment. His monthly payments would then amount to approximately $37, including payment on capital, interest, taxes and fire insurance. This amount coincides with budget recommendations. Knowing what you can afford to spend for the house, you have a basis to work from for your household furnishings. Statistics also show that no more than one-third or one-fourth of the cost of the house should be spent for these items. John Doe, with his $4500 house, can afford to pay between $1125 and $1500 for his household furnishings.

J. L., on South East St., Saturday morning. The recent bride is the daughter Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Patterson the bridegroom, the son of Dr. Mrs. Leslie Butka of Pomona. Butka has been attending the Civic Union college in the western part of the state and has finished his home here for the summer months. Define program of solos, duets, songs and instrumental num- formed the evening's diversion along with games. At the max of the evening the bride-sang a solo, "Let Me Call Sweetheart." Ms. Steen was assisted by Mrs. McKim, who was mistress of monies, Mrs. K. B. Rigby, L. R. Sommerville, Mrs. E. Scott and Mrs. Claude Steen. Women's Council Aid Chinese A silver tea of Chinese relief be held in the blue room of Presbyterian church on Tuesday-May 13. The affair is being sponsored by the Anaheim Council Church Women. Sessionaries who have returned China will be special guests. He will be a continuous musical team all afternoon. All pro- will go for Chinese relief, F. N. Gibbs, whose daughter, Ellen Crouch, is a missionary singipo, China, and Mrs. F. F. Hem, whose daughter, Marte, is stationed in China will decorate at the tea table. Rosemary H., daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. Wood will dress in a these costume and will preside over the silver bowl. Committee members in charge arrangements are Mrs. Ethel Josephall, chairman, Mrs. Walter Tit, Mrs. Carrol Yonge, Mrs. Wagner, Mrs. Virginia Padney, and Mrs. Lucy Daugherty. Knowing what you can afford to spend for the house, you have a basis to work from for your household furnishings. Statistics also show that no more than one-third or one-fourth of the cost of the house should be spent for these items. John Doe, with his $4500 house, can afford to pay between $1125 and $1500 for his household furnishings. This is best divided for the rooms as follows: one-third for the living room, 20 per cent for the dining room, 20 per cent for the master bedroom, 10 per cent for the spare room and 17 per cent for the kitchen. So John Doe divides his $1500 in this manner: $500 for the living room, $300 for the dining room, $300 for the master bedroom, $150 for the spare room and $250 for the kitchen. This budget must include everything, linens, kitchen utensils, silverware, dishes, rugs, and all of the things that make up the home. However, a refrigerator might legitimately be included in the building budget, since in some of the new homes they are actually built in. The writer is indebted to E. H. Wileman for the above statistics. In budgeting do not forget by any means the fund for room accessories such as pictures, clocks, lamps, and whatnots. These are the things that express you and make your house a home. A room without accessories is like a woman without her purse, hat, gloves, shoes, and make up; it simply isn't complete. Next week I will discuss how John Doe can furnish his home to get the best effect and how a home get the best effect and have a home that extends a welcome to his friends.
