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! Fullerton Men Purchase LaVida Bottling Plant A deal was consummated recently whereby R. C. Jewett and Charles Schugt, all of Fullerton, became the owners of the LaVida Bottling Company, located in Carbon Canyon near Placentia.

The Jewett brothers are prominent building contractors in northern Orange county. The new organization, known as the LaVida Bottling Company, Inc., is headed by R. C. Jewett as president, W. H. Jewett, vice-president and Chas. Schugt as secretary-treasurer. The new owners purchased the assets of the LaVida Bottling Company and while, for the present, the plant will continue to operate in the old location, extensive plans are being made to move it to Fullerton, the new owners having purchased a building there for the purpose. The plant was purchased from W. N. Miller, the original founder and for whom Mr. Schugt was chief chemist and production manager for fifteen years. The Jewett Brothers need no introduction to the business circles of Orange county since they have been in the contracting business for many years. Another well known Fullerton business man will be associated with the new firm, O. C. Crooke who has been appointed as sales manager. He will be in direct charge of all sales and distribution of the famous LaVida beverages and mineral spring water. Charles Schugt, who is familiar with the manufacture of the tasty beverages of this concern, will be the active manager. St. Catherine’s, St. Boniface Have High Enrollment The enrollment for the opening day of St. Catherine’s Military school on North Palm street, last Tuesday found a capacity number enrolled for work during the next nine months of work when 190 boys answered roll call for opening classes. This is the capacity number the school can accommodate. The institution is conducted by the Dominican order. Captain William Murphy, retired U. S.

Launer, chairman of the Northern Orange County Houser Campaign committee. Launer, in announcing plans for the program, said that the committee, made up of leading Republicans and Democrats in the county, has already launched an extensive campaign for the election of Lieut. Gov. Fred Houser to the United States Senate to replace the incumbent Sheridan Downey. The park program will be one of the highlights in the county campaign, and will feature an address by Houser. It will be his only appearance in Northern Orange county. Plans for the park rally were formulated at a meeting of the committee this week, and H. E. W. Barnes was appointed to take charge of necessary arrangements. William Schumacher has been named director of finances for the committee and Ted Stephenson and Jimmie Heffron have been placed in charge of publicity. Women, both Republican and Democrat, are displaying an active interest in Houser's election, Chairman Launer said, in announcing the appointment of Mrs. J. J. Dwyer, Mrs. Milton Sell and Mrs. Jean Gaddis a special committee to interest all women voters. “Most remarkable feature of the Houser campaign is the ever increasing number of Democrats, many active party leaders, who are working with committees throughout the state,” Chairman Launer asserted in pointing out that Houser's personality, straightforward understanding and discussion of problems involved, and his long and exceptionally splendid record of service to California, is winning universal and state-wide support. Other members of the Northern Orange county Houser campaign committee are Edward J. Power, Ross Lee Laird, Joseph Mitchell, Frank Belmont, L. H. Loudon, Ernest Ganahl, Victor G. Loly and Oscar W.

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 Sept. 18—1919 The board of trustees held an executive session on Thursday evening and the nine o'clock curfew whistle sounded before the members assembled for their regular session. There were present Mayor Dwyer, Trustee Backs, Mann and Gibbs. Attorney Ames was present. Considerable time was devoted to discussion of the new office of city manager and that official's duties. He will act as purchasing agent for the city and will have supervision over the general management of the city's affairs. The salary has been fixed at $210 per month. O. E. Steward was selected as that official. Supt. Abernathy of the Grammar school reports the attendance of 783 pupils on the first day of school. More room will probably be needed in a few weeks, and the Lutheran school building will be used for the overflow. The Anaheim Union High School opened Monday with an 50 Years Ago Sept. 20, 1894 The warm spell, with an indication, one day last week, of an incipient Santa Ana—disagreeable to men, but good for beets — ended yesterday, when the morning broke with a heavy fog hanging over the valley. The hot spell has placed the beets well on the road to maturity, and it was estimated yesterday that very few patches would be allowed to remain in the field. The Anaheim candidates were thrown down with an awful dull, sickening thud in the Republican convention on Monday, but they are all up again doing what they can for the success of the ticket. B. C. Barken of Villa Park was the only nominee for chairman. Mr. Beckett was elected secretary. The following committees were appointed: On permanent organization and order of business—Richard Melrose, John McFadden, D. Nichols, U. A. Ulm and H. K. Snow. Platform and resolutions — S.

A delegation of local Odd Fellows went to Los Angeles yesterday to attend the exercises of laying the corner stone of the new Odd Fellow temple in that city. They attended a banquet last night at Jerry Illick's restaurant in honor of visiting Odd Fellows. The cementing of the South Branch ditch from Browning's corner west to Brookshurst will begin next week. Mr. Amlin has hauled 200 tons of beets out of the 5,000 tons recently reported as being unfit for sugar and they polarized 16 per cent. This warm weather is bringing the beets out all right and in the vain hope of health. The family has sympathy of their old Anaheim in their best. Glenn A. Barton passed Suddenly Glenn A.

Abernathy of the Grammar school reports the attendance of 783 pupils on the first day of school. More room will probably be needed in a few weeks, and the Lutheran school building will be used for the overflow. The Anaheim Union High School opened Monday with an enrollment of practically 300. Last year on the first day the enrollment was 244 and in two weeks advanced to 280. At the end of the year there were 225 in attendance. The indications are that the institution will have a more prosperous year if increased attendance counts for anything. Earl Steadman and Pete Wisser marched with General Pershing in the victory parades in New York last week, and marched with the general in the first division in Washington on Tuesday. They will also march with the division at Philadelphia and other eastern cities. Earl writes his father that as soon as he obtains his discharge he will take the shortest road back to Anaheim. Joe Stroup has put a new front in his meat market on North Los Angeles street, making this entrance and exit more convenient for his customers. The front was open for more than a week while the carpenters were at work. A little daughter arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. N. Gibbs Tuesday morning. Because of our ignorance on the subject we have hitherto believed that all newly-arrived babies looked alike and possessed the same degree of intelligence, but Mr. Gibbs declares this child already displays extraordinary traits and deserves more than passing notice of its friends. We extend congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs and a bouquet to little Miss Gibbs. Tomorrow afternoon President Wilson's special train will go through Anaheim to San Diego where he speaks in the evening. On the return trip to Los Angeles where he speaks Saturday evening the train will pass through Anaheim about the middle of the afternoon, but it is not probable that stops will be made at towns between San Diego and Los Angeles. Senator Hiram Johnson, who is following in the President's wake, will probably be in this section a sickening thud in the Republican convention on Monday, but they are all up again doing what they can for the success of the ticket.

The following committees were appointed: On permanent organization and order of business—Richard Melrose, John McFadden, D. Nichols, U. A. Ulm and H. K. Snow. Platform and resolutions — S. Armor, Josiah McCoy, C. E. French, D. J. Young and D. H. Thomas. Credentials—E. D. Waffle, C. A. Mead, A. R. Eddis, J. R. Power, Cash Harvey.

Clark of Fullerton. Surveyor—H. Clay Kellogg of Anaheim. Superintendent of Public Instruction—J. P. Greeley of Santa Ana. Assemblyman—C. S. McKelvey of Santa Ana. The final contest was over the office of clerk: John McFadden of Santa Ana nominated D. C. Brock and Josiah McCoy nominated J. A. McFadden. Brock proceeded to blossom out as a story teller. In making his bow to the delegates and speaking of his Republicanism he said the great crowds of Republicans this year reminded him of the number of cinch bugs back in Kansas years ago, when a farmer assured him that although he had seen years when the bugs were more plentiful, yet he said he never saw them so numerous before. The delegates roared and of course McFadden had no show after that."

Although he had not been well for several months, it was not believed his illness was serious. He was 51 years old and a native of Ohio. He had lived in Anaheim for a year and a half. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mollie Barton of Anaheim; his mother, Mrs. Lillian Barton of West Salem, Ohio, two sisters and two brothers, also of the east.

Funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the chapel of Hilgenfeld Mortuary with burial in Anaheim cemetery. Former Resident Of This City Passes Mrs. Marie Storm, "The Pedestrian," whose homely poetry has cheered many Seal Beach residents for years, passed away at her home, 118 7th street, August 26. Mrs. Storm, who was born in Lubeck, Germany, 73 years ago, came to the United States when she was 10, moving to California in 1894. She has lived in Anaheim, Alhambra, and came to Seal Beach eight years ago from San Diego. She has made her home here with her sister, Miss Minnie Rehwoldt. Mrs. Storm was a member of the local Community church, and the Seal Beach Woman's club. She is survived by one son, Eugene M. Storm, of San Diego; a daughter, Mrs. Clarence F. Schubert, of Zanesville, Ohio; one grandchild, and her sister, Miss Rehwoldt, of Seal Beach. Funeral services were held Monday from Mottell's in Long Beach, with the Rev. F. Bruce Ellis officiating. Herbert Klockseim of Long Beach sang "My Faith Looks Up to Thee" and "Be Still My Soul, the Lord is on My Side." Organ selections were played by Miss Latourette Chase, also of Long Beach. Cremation followed the funeral services. Mrs. Storm conducted a column in this newspaper for years, entitled "The Pedestrian." She also has published several books of her verse, one issued for the benefit of the local Woman's Society for Christian Service. Her remarkable insight into human nature may have been due to the fact she has been totally blind for many years.—Seal Beach Post. TO ATTEND UNIVERSITY Miss Jeane E.

Things you may not know but a busy western neighbor Been a part of western life for century. We've had our share of had our share of praise. Mostly petty much for granted, like the kman. Though, people generally have Pacific and the other railroads ing and appreciation. Now, when they seem to realize how indiss really are. Because of Southern Pacific's strategic location in relation to the war against Japan, we have been called upon to carry an enormous westbound burden. In addition, we are handling vast quantities of raw materials and finished products of greatly expanded western industries, plus an abnormally large east-bound movement of foodstuffs. The six facts below may help explain the unprecedented burden we are carrying, and why our service to civilians is not as good as we'd like it to be: In addition, we are handling vast quantities of raw materials and finished products of greatly expanded western industries, plus an abnormally large east-bound movement of foodstuffs. The six facts below may help explain the unprecedented burden we are carrying, and why our service to civilians is not as good as we'd like it to be: 2 Southern Pacific's 15,000 miles of line (more than any other United States railroad) are predominately single track, requiring the most accurate and exacting kind of railroading. 3 Southern Pacific serves more military and naval establishments than any other railroad in the U.S. From New Orleans to Portland an endless chain of air bases and encampments adjoins our line. 5 Southern Pacific crosses innumerable mountain ranges, and has to climb more major summits than any other U.S. railroad. It takes more locomotives to pull trains up steep mountain grades. 6 Southern Pacific has the main north and south line along the Pacific Coast, serving the principal ports of embarkation from San Diego to Portland. Naturally, troop trains must come first with us. S·P The friendly Southern Pacific
