When you plan your future home of contentment, the one-stop answer is Anaheim! CRAEMER FOR SENATE (From San Bernardino Sun) The time has come for consideration of the men who are available to be selected by their fellow citizens for leadership in the affairs of the nation. Among other offices to be filled at this year's election in California is that of United States senator. The term of Senator Downey is expiring. California Republicans are ready to consider the names of a half dozen leaders in various activities as opponents of the record of Mr. Downey. Included in the list of names most frequently mentioned is that of Justus F. Craemer of Orange county. He needs no introduction to Californians who take the time to follow the careers of the active leaders in the affairs of this state. It is only natural that the people of San Bernardino county—as one of the important rural counties of California—should be looking for a man who understands the rural problems of this state, a man who has developed in that environment but has gone on in public understanding of all of the state's diversified interests—urban as well as rural industrial as well as agricultural. February 13, 1914 Playing perfect football through San Diego's eleven defeated the Sooners on Saturday afternoon. Diego by a score of 20 to game, one of the most contested of the season marked by considerable success on the part of San Diego. Coach Culp and Assistants were overjoyed at the Fullerton now has a championship of Southern California. Other teams lead leagues are Santa Monica wood, and Redlands. San Francisco and Inglewood meet there and the winner will move lands, Fullerton will win. The playing of theton team Saturday which them the championship of orange league, stamps it at the best, if not the best consisted of Almon Goodend, Fred Gale, right. California Republicans are ready to consider the names of a half dozen leaders in various activities as opponents of the record of Mr. Downey. Included in the list of names most frequently mentioned is that of Justus F. Craemer of Orange county. He needs no introduction to Californians who take the time to follow the careers of the active leaders in the affairs of this state. It is only natural that the people of San Bernardino county—as one of the important rural counties of California—should be looking for a man who understands the rural problems of this state, a man who has developed in that environment but has gone on in public understanding of all of the state's diversified interests—urban as well as rural, industrial as well as agricultural. Justus Craemer fits that description of the ideal candidate for United States senator, as many citizens of San Bernardino county view the political pattern that is developing. From the newspaper publishing field and citrus grower in Orange county, where he established himself as a young man 35 years ago, Mr. Craemer turned to public service. He served California as a governor's secretary, deputy director of public works, state building and loan commissioner, and finally as a member of the state railroad commission of which body he is now a member and of which he has been chairman. There are few Californians who know California as intimately as he knows it. He knows every corner of it and most of its complex problems. He knows rural California because it was there he began his life's work. He knows urban California because of his work as a railroad commissioner in the industrial affairs of this state. There is perhaps no Californian better informed regarding a wide range of interests. He is a man of tremendous energy, young enough to have the vim of youth and old enough to have mature judgment. California needs the services of the kind of a senator Mr. Craemer would be. These lines are written with the idea they should be added to others that are being printed throughout California, urging that Mr. Craemer make his decision to enter the Republican primary and become an active candidate for United States senator. RATION WRINKLE On February 27 a new wrinkle will be added to the ration program. And for a time a new wrinkle may be added to the forehead of the American housewife. On the 27th, ration tokens will make their debut. They will come in two colors—red and blue—red for meat, butter, etc., and blue for processed foods. Each token will be good for one point. These dime-sized chips are being introduced as a means of saving paper, labor and money, and of providing a better method of making change in ration points. They may seem a bit cumbersome and annoying at first, but they will help make your present ration book last two years instead of a few months. This new system will also be somewhat trying to your chain or independent food retailer until he gets accustomed to it. So if things don't go smoothly right off the bat, don't blame him. Just remember, this is war. Two billion tokens have been manufactured, but the OPA warns that they must be kept circulating if we are to have enough for normal business needs. These new ration chips may get mixed up with the small change or the street-car tokens in the housewife's purse, but eventually she will develop the technique of picking them out. Their color should help make them distinguishable. The answer to the whole problem is, let us all work harder for victory and hasten the day when ration tokens will be—just souvenirs.—Calif. Progress Review. CALIFORNIA CONSTRUCTION JOB Some whose calculations point to a more or less lengthy depression period following on the heels of the war will find practical solace in observations heard at the recent conference of Pacific Advertising Association. "Advertising will cause us to want better homes after the war, better clothes, food, autos, transportation and streets," Colonel Alexander R. Heron told the ad men. "That's what is constructive; it raises our sights." The problems due in the months following the war will tax the capacity and ingenuity of every community. Plans in the making now for the necessary rebuilding of business the nation over, for the conversion of industry, for the rehabilitation of the wounded and the reemployment of war workers and service men will prop and bolster the entire national economy in those months to come. Planners of California's post war projects will carry one of the greatest loads, for here the tremendous new population of workers and their families will be augmented further by thousands of out of State service men looking for jobs. The obligation to be laid on California's shoulders will be an enormous one. Advertising which "raises our sights" and builds popular demands will play a major role in the reconstruction program that steers the nation back to solid ground when the final battles are won and the men come home.—Leone Baxter. RAYMOND CLAPPER The American press and the American people have suffered a real loss in the death of Raymond Clapper, who was killed in a plane crash during the invasion of the Marshall Islands. By the highest standards of his profession, he was a fine newspaperman. He was fair, courageous and responsible. At the age of 51 he had spent 28 years in newspaper work and had traveled hundreds of thousands of miles in gathering news first hand. He was "on the job" to the very end. Read The Gazette, Anaheim's newspaper "bible" since 1870. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued a Half Century and a Quarter 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. 25 Years Ago February 13, 1919 Playing perfect football and going through San Diego's line with ease the Fullerton high school eleven defeated the Southerners on Saturday afternoon at San Diego by a score of 20 to 13. The game, one of the most bitterly contested of the season, was marked by considerable ill feeling on the part of San Diego. Coach Culp and Assistant Allen, were overjoyed at the victory. Fullerton now has a claim to the championship of Southern California. Other teams leading their leagues are Santa Monica, Inglewood, and Redlands. Santa Monica and Inglewood meet this week and the winner will meet Redlands, Fullerton will meet the winner. The playing of the Fullerton team Saturday which won for them the championship of the Orange league, stamps it as one of the best, if not the best in Southern California. The Fullerton team consisted of Almon Goodwin, right end, Fred Gale, right guard; 50 Years Ago February 15, 1894 There was no quorum at the meeting of City Trustees Tuesday evening when the important matter of granting the Southern Pacific Railroad a franchise to operate its tracks in Santa Ana and Olive streets was to come up for consideration. A draft of the ordinance granting the franchise had been prepared and was submitted to Mr. Sroufe for his approval. This will be forwarded to headquarters and as soon as both parties agree as to the nature of the franchise the board will probably pass the ordinance and the work of changing the railroad tracks up town be put actively under way. Samuel Parrett has purchased thirty-six acres near this city belonging to Maude R. Mercerean of Anaheim and J. Frank Mercereau of New York for $3,300, and has sold to the former property at Santa Ana for $2,500. (More 25 Years Ago) good mit left.

In the death of Pierre Nicolas, which occurred at his home near Fullerton Monday, Orange County loses one of its best known citizens. Influenza was the primary cause of his death. Mr. Nicolas was a native of this section being born here 37 years ago. Besides his wife, who was the former Miss Kate Backs, he leaves a brother Paul and three sisters. The funeral will be held this morning at Backs & Terry's chapel, after which the remains will be taken to Los Angeles where services will be held in the Plaza church.

(More 50 Years Ago) they will in future reside. Other teams leading their leagues are Santa Monica, Inglewood, and Redlands. Santa Monica and Inglewood meet this week and the winner will meet Redlands, Fullerton will meet the winner. The playing of the Fullerton team Saturday which won for them the championship of the Orange league, stamps it as one of the best, if not the best in Southern California. The Fullerton team consisted of Almon Goodwin, right end, Fred Gale, right guard; Albert Hetebrink, left end; Arch Hawkins, right half back. George Meiser, right tackle, Ted Kuchel, center, Roy Hale, left tackle, Coleman Travis, quarterback, John Hawkins, fullback, Earl Stogsdill, left halfback and captain. At the end of the first half the score was, Fullerton 13, San Diego 5. At the end of the game, with the score 20 to 13 in our favor, Fullerton was within three yards of the San Diego goal line. Thirty seconds more would have given Fullerton another touchdown. Immediately after the game the San Diego eleven left the field and failed to show up at the hotel in the evening. When the visitors left for home Sunday morning Syril Tipton, assistant San Diego coach was the only San Diego man gentlemanly enough to show up and admit his men were outclassed and decisively beaten. Fullerton held a great celebration Monday in honor of the team. Many families in this section of the county (among them the editorial family) were anxiously awaiting news over the telephone Saturday evening, but it was not until 8:30 p.m. that the phone call came from San Diego and there was the familiar voice of the Kid. "Hello, Hello, we wopped them, twenty to thirteen, San Diego was never in it, Good Night." Then the Kid hung up. Then the news was flashed to a score of different places in this section, Fullerton, Placentia, La Habra, other points. Messrs. Ahlborn and Bayliss of the board of trade tree committee have completed plans for shading the streets of Anaheim, and will present the same to the city trustees tonight.
