Anaheim, located in the richest spot on earth, "In the Heart of the Valencia Orange District," is widely known for its beautiful parks, fine schools and churches, and for its other civic improvements and the stability of its citizenship and its business institutions. When you plan your future home of contentment, the one-stop answer is Anaheim! (Continued From Page 1) where Custer made his last stand. Otherwise we might as well have let the Indians keep it. The only country we ever took by conquest was the one we now own. I am not a politician and don't even claim to know anything about politics but some funny things in a 36-foot motor boat built by Dr. Kellems himself at his ranch in Delaware county, Oklahoma. The boat was transported to Seattle by trailer where it was launched for the historic trip to the north seas. Colonel Kellems is a brother of State Assemblyman Kellems of Pasadena, and of Miss Vivienne Kellems, eastern industrialist, who has recently figured in the political news. His daughter, Vivienne, married my only son, Jack, who is now with the motion picture department of the Army Air Service at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. But the life story of Will and Betty Rogers would fill this whole newspaper, so we'll have to read it elsewhere. Dies In Long Beach Hospital where Custer made his last stand. Otherwise we might as well have let the Indians keep it. The only country we ever took by conquest was the one we now own. I am not a politician and don't even claim to know anything about politics, but some funny monkey business is going on among the big boys right now if I am not mistaken. I have seen so many things happen behind the scenes that I always look behind the scenes when I want to find out what's going on. You remember that Wendell Willkie pulled out of the Republican presidential race so fast and easy that he surprised everybody, merely because Tom Dewey beat him in the Wisconsin primaries. Willkie doesn't quit that easy, without a reason. Now, a movement has been started in the east to "draft" Willkie for vice-president on the Democratic ticket, as a running mate for President Roosevelt. Willkie was originally a Democrat and he and President Roosevelt are not mad at each other as some hopeful Republicans thought when he was campaigning against the President. There is no reason why Roosevelt would want the fourth term, which he is going to get, except to finish the war job, including making the peace. When that work is finished he will be ready for a rest, and as I understand it, his resignation would automatically promote the vice-president to the presidency. From there on you figure it out for yourself, but don't blame me for what happens. I don't know anything about it. Her work completed with the removal of her famous husband's body to its final resting place at Claremore, Rogers county, Oklahoma, Mrs. Betty Rogers, widow of the late Will Rogers, gave up the ghost and passed away at the ranch home near Santa Monica on June 21. Her family of two fine sons and a daughter, successfully reared and the ordeal of removing Will's body to his native Rogers county faithfully carried out, she was no doubt ready for the "much needed rest" after a busy life of 63 years. Will was born at Oolagah, near the county seat of Claremore, in what is now Roe- Dies In Long Beach Hospital Roy Fulsom Wheeler, 54 years old, died Saturday evening at the Seaside hospital in Long Beach after a brief illness. He was a native of New Hampshire and a resident of northern Orange county for twenty years. The family home was in Brea for many years until it was established at 1000 E. Walnut Avenue, in Fullerton about a year ago. Survivors are his wife, Mildred E. Wheeler; two sons, Ray Nelson Wheeler with the armed forces and Roy Arthur Wheeler at home; one daughter, Mrs. Malton Nichols of Fullerton; three sisters, Mrs. Walter B. Yates of Brea, Mrs. Charles Woodbury and Mrs. Frank E. Loud, Jr., both of Mass.; two brothers, Ray B. Wheeler of Redondo Beach and Waldo P. Wheeler with the armed forces. He was a member of the Christian church in Brea. MARRIAGE LICENSE ISSUED A marriage license was issued at the county courthouse recently to Donald L. Johnson of Camp Pendleton and Cynthia Marie Hagaman of Anaheim. WILL VISIT UP NORTH Warren Heckman, A/S, is here on leave from his duties at Warrensburg, Mo., where he is taking the V-12 program, and is visiting with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Heckman at 519 East Chartres Street. He arrived here last Monday evening and this morning (Thursday) he with his parents left for Berkeley, Calif., where they will visit with Lt. (jg) and Mrs. Warren L. Schutz. Mr. and Mrs. Heckman will return home Sunday evening. Warren will leave there on Friday and go to Corvallis, Ore., to visit with his brother, Pfc. Harry Heckman, who will leave with him on Saturday evening for Warrensburg, Mo., Warren having to report back to duty on July 4 and Harry will spend several days furlough re-industrialist, who has recently figured in the political news. His daughter, Vivienne, married my only son, Jack, who is now with the motion picture department of the Army Air Service at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio.

These queer combinations of are not names of radio station typical symbols from the S telegraph code. Your report to inquiring about the code tha day and learned some inter facts not only about the coe the Sunkist market news service which it is a part. You may recall that a few ago we described in this column Sunkist throws open to a grow whole U.S. and Canada as his keting area. How, by keeping all of the daily changes in demand all over that vast tenure the Sunkist Sales Department place the grower's fruit while mand and prices are stronger. You may have wondered how possible to keep track of all changes all over the continent. Best way to find out is to visit Telegraph Department in the kist Building in Los Angeles three rooms staffed with people and swiftly clicking te machines. This is the nerve center of the change's communication system Reports of all transactions were buyers throughout the United States and Canada reports of state of each market, report every sale, reports on all car ing and on track, and weather ports, all funnel in here from District Sales Offices. Since a major share of sales made in the densely populated vern states, a majority of the sages come a long way—2,000 miles. So, to cut costs, all Sales Offices use code. This code is Sunkist's own creat built up over the years until it contains symbols for almost every message that needs to be se e garding citrus fruit. How much this code saves the groan can easily be shown by one t example. Take the three symb oles top of this column: T BWMP BUAP. Decoded, they "Weather bureau predicts cont hot weather. Do not divert where any cars Sunkist Lemo route here, need them all." The code reduces that entire sage to twelve letters. The sales offices send these codes sages by wire to the Sunkist l ing in Los Angeles. As fast as come off the telegraph ma ch they are decoded, typed out in homa, Mrs. Betty Rogers, widow of the late Will Rogers, gave up the ghost and passed away at the ranch home near Santa Monica on June 21. Her family of two fine sons and a daughter, successfully reared and the ordeal of removing Will's body to his native Rogers county faithfully carried out, she was no doubt ready for the "much needed rest" after a busy life of 63 years. Will was born at Oolagah, near the county seat of Claremore, in what is now Rogers county, named for his father, a pioneer Cherokee. The old Rogers ranch where Will worked as a cowhand, with its spacious two-story ranch house and barns, was once the center of hospitality for a wide area, in the old days before statehood. The Will Rogers Memorial Museum, and the mausoleum, which has long been ready to receive his body, built at a cost of nearly a half million dollars, is located on a beautiful hilltop and slope over-looking the city of Claremore. The 20-odd acres of land in the site was purchased by Will Rogers in 1911 for his future home, where he said, "when the world is tired of my act I'll build a home on this hill and just sit here and whittle and gab with my friends until the Big Boss stages the last round-up and us strays head for the home corral." He is there now and is being joined by the Rogers Arkansas, girl who was his faithful companion and inspiration since November 25, 1908. Several memorials to Will Rogers dot the country but the outpost of them all is the one erected at Point Barrow, Alaska, where Rogers and Wiley Post were killed on August 15, 1935. This monument was built by Lt. Col. Homer Kellems, now of the U.S. Army Air Service, and his daughter, Vivienne, and a party of six men, the trip to the Arctic being made morning (Thursday) he with his parents left for Berkeley, Calif., where they will visit with Lt.

Harry Heckman, who will leave with him on Saturday evening for Warrensburg, Mo., Warren having to report back to duty on July 4 and Harry will spend several days furlough returning to his duties in Oregon on July 8.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE 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 Dally Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago July 3, 1919 Citrus packing houses are going to take a vacation of several weeks in order to permit the demand for oranges in the Eastern markets to catch up with the supply. In Anaheim more than three hundred employees will take a rest during the vacation period. Brick masons have begun work on the Theodore Roberts brick block at the corner of Center and Lemon streets. The walls of the brick garage which will form an extension of the building on Lemon are almost completed. Anaheim is not celebrating the Glorious Fourth tomorrow. It will be a safe and sane day so far as this city is concerned; but a large percentage of its patriotic citizens will go elsewhere to twist the lion's tail and hear the eagle scream. Prof. Thomas Askin and Miss Clara Louise Newcomb were married in the Presbyterian church at South Pasadena Monday evening. 50 Years Ago July 5, 1894 As we write the greatest of all railway strikes in the history of the country is in progress. Not a wheel is turning on the Santa Fe between Los Angeles and Chicago, and all lines that carry Pullman cars are tied up. The strike was ordered by the American Railway Union on Wednesday and is directed against every road in the United States that carries a Pullman car. A four-horse team of groceries that arrived from Los Angeles Tuesday evening for Isaac Lyons' establishment emphasized the fact that railroad tieups have no terrors of that enterprising merchant. Lyons is bound to keep up his stock of goods if he has to ship them down overland by prairie schooner. The city trustees are considering the advisability of rehabilitating the town clock, in the city hall, which the old board allowed to remain in status quo during their These queer combinations of letters do not names of radio stations, but typical symbols from the Sunkist telegraph code. Your reporter got inquiring about the code the other day and learned some interesting facts not only about the code but the Sunkist market news service of which it is a part. You may recall that a few weeks ago we described in this column how Sunkist throws open to a grower the whole U.S. and Canada as his marrying area. How, by keeping track of all the daily changes in citrus demand all over that vast territory, the Sunkist Sales Department and the District Exchange Manager can price the grower's fruit where demand and prices are strongest. You may have wondered how it's possible to keep track of all those ranges all over the continent. First way to find out is to visit the telegraph Department in the Sunset Building in Los Angeles: three rooms staffed with busy people and swiftly clicking teletype machines. This is the nerve center of the Exchange's communication system. Reports of all transactions with all buyers throughout the United States and Canada, reports on the rate of each market, reports on every sale, reports on all cars rolled and on track, and weather reels, all funnel in here from the 56 district Sales Offices. Once a major share of sales are made in the densely populated East states, a majority of the messages come a long way—2,000 to 100 miles. So, to cut costs, almost Sales Offices use code. The code is Sunkist's own creation, but up over the years until now it contains symbols for almost every message that needs to be sent reading citrus fruit. How much money this code saves the growers easily be shown by one typical example. Take the three symbols at the top of this column: TRPB BUAP. Decoded, they say: weather bureau predicts continued rain weather. Do not divert elsewhere any cars Sunkist Lemons enclose here, need them all." The code reduces that entire message to twelve letters. Sales offices send these code messages by wire to the Sunkist Build-in Los Angeles. As fast as they go off the telegraph machines they are decoded, typed out in plain text. Anaheim is not celebrating the Glorious Fourth tomorrow. It will be a safe and sane day so far as this city is concerned; but a large percentage of its patriotic citizens will go elsewhere to twist the lion's tail and hear the eagle scream. Prof. Thomas Askin and Miss Clara Louise Newcomb were married in the Presbyterian church at South Pasadena Monday evening. Prof. Askin is head of the music department of Anaheim high school. After spending the summer vacation at Balboa, Mr. and Mrs. Askin will make their home in Anaheim. At a meeting of the high school trustees Friday evening, Prof. J. A. Clayes was elected principal and the resignation of Prof. C. R. Prince was accepted. Prof. Askin and Miss Bella Walker were elected assistant principals. Charley McAulay writes that the Great Northern steamship, on which he is an electrician is now making its last trip across the Atlantic as a transport. It will be sent to the Pacific after discharging its last load of troops. A. W. Danforth of Los Angeles was a business visitor in town a few days ago. Mr. Danforth was formerly a resident of this section. At nine o'clock last Wednesday morning at St. Foniface's church Miss Mary Grim, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Grim and Oscar Heying, one of Anaheim's prominent young business men, a member of the firm of Heying Brother's, pharmacists were united in the bonds of matrimony the ceremony being performed by Rev. Father Browne, pastor of the church. The bridesmaids were Miss Leslie Gaynor, of Los Angeles, and Miss Ruth Grim, sister of the bride. While the groom was attended by his two brothers, Edward and Ernest Heying. The wedding march from Lohengrin was played on the violin by Miss Constance Rimpau of Hollywood and Miss Antonia Fried of this city accompanied on the piano by Miss Marie Rimpau. Mr. and Mrs. Heying will spend a week at Catalina and then will go by auto to San Francisco for a short visit. On Thursday last another notable wedding was celebrated at Tuesday evening for Isaac Lyons establishment emphasized the fact that railroad tieups have no terrors of that enterprising merchant. Lyons is bound to keep up his stock of goods if he has to ship them down overland by prairie schooner. The city trustees are considering the advisability of rehabilitating the town clock, in the city hall, which the old board allowed to remain in status quo during their incumbency chiefly on account of incompatibility of temper of a number of the board, a rival clockmaker to the donor of the city block, now in Mexico, we believe. The tower was built for the clock and the dial made, but on the final show-down the board refused to put in a safe stairway for the winding of the clock, and so the matter dropped. Mr. Luedke's offer to furnish the clock to the city was liberal spiritied in the extreme, and everything should have been done to meet him half way, but nothing was done, and the tower and the dial are all that remain. The new board should put in the clock and get it to striking the hours. It will be of the greatest convenience not only to residents but to farmers in from outside to purchase goods of our merchants. Put up the town clock. The Fourth of July was celebrated in Anaheim with a great Kentucky barbecue—twenty-three mutton and pork and one side of beef were barbecued, the fires had been lighted in the trenches the evening before and the meat was cooked all night. Dr. Paschall superintended the barbecue and at noon everything was ready to feed the multitude who came to town to celebrate the ever glorious Fourth. At noon the crowd filed toward the lot north of the school house, where the barbecue was about to begin. Attendants were engaged in cutting up four hundred loaves of bread while Doc Paschall, looked after twenty-three nicely browned carcasses and the beef. Lemonade, cake were served at booths nearby. The day was enjoyably spent by everyone and toward evening the crowd dispersed happily at having been the recipients of Anaheim's rare old hospitality.

Sales offices send these code messages by wire to the Sunkist Buildings in Los Angeles. As fast as they can off the telegraph machines are decoded, typed out in plain English, and rushed to the sales department. At the same time another operator sends them out on a telephone machine that is hooked up with 25 Sunkist District Exchanges throughout the citrus belt. The growers own District Exchange Manager receives by telefone the same complete market information as the central Sales Department, and at the same time. He then confer with the central Office by phone and decide where and at what prices to your fruit. Nation-wide market news services unique in the citrus industry provides a complete picture of citrus market, not just from day to day, but from hour to hour. One of the basic factors that drives the years, have enabled Sunflower growers to place their fruit there it brings the best possible results. Just one more of the benefits needed when 14,500 citrus growers work together. You've probably decided that sooner or later you will the Exchange and enjoy these benefits yourself. Why not do it now? Report in this paper two weeks ago today. California Fruit Growers Exchange Sunkist Building, Los Angeles, 55, California On Thursday last another notable wedding was celebrated at St. Boniface church when Miss Adella Kraemer became the bride of Walter Muckenthaler. The ceremony took place at nine o'clock and was read by Father Browne. Miss Antonia Friend on the violin and Miss Marie Rimpau accompanying on the piano played the Lohengrin wedding march. Miss Angelina Kraemer acted as bridesmaid and the groom was attended by his brother, Lawrence Muckenthaler. A wedding breakfast was served at the home of the bride's parents in Placentia, the young couple leaving shortly afterward for the north. They will spend their honeymoon at Yosemite park and will later begin housekeeping here. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Kraemer, pioneer's of this section. She is a native daughter of Orange county. The groom is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Muckenthaler of this city and has been a resident of this city for many years.

The streetcar company has arranged to place advertising cards in their cars. Applications for space may be made to the President, Theo. Rimpau or to the Secretary, Richard Melrose. A thunder storm, accompanied by several smart showers of rain, flashes of lightening and a gale of wind which veered about from east to west in a most unaccountable manner, awoke the residents of this bailiwick early on Sunday morning. The storm, which was a fragment of an electrical disturbance and rain in the desert. The wind played havoc with the tent where the Christian church have services and blew over a large tree on Olive street. The tri-color, at half-mast on the city hall staff, was blown to shreds, and it fell upon the roof of the cupola, but the Stars and Stripes remained.
