The Oran VOL XXI. No. 81. This Paper Accepts All Advertising on UnderIts Circulation Boundary and Two Others in The COUNTY LEADERS MEET IN L. A. TO PLAN NEW LOAN At a meeting held in Los Angeles, the members of the Southern California Liberty Loan State Central Committee were put in possession of information now available regarding the Fifth Liberty Loan, by Lewis B. Franklin, Director of the war loan organizations of the United States, from Washington. This meeting was attended by the county chairmen from the eight Southern California counties, who were informed that there would be no change in the organization upon the occasion of this loan. It is expepected that the bonds will be of the same denomination and will be offered on the sa embasis of patriotic neccessity plus probably added attractive features in the way of higher rate or tax exemptions, or both, the CANNOT LOCATE SO After a state-wide search for a 14-year-old son, Bennie McClellan, who has been missing since Sept.

RECOVERS STOLEN CAR IN HALF HOUSE In addition to his other accoplishments, Leroy Berger is some ditective. Yes, he uses the Peek-Hunt system. Saturday evening while motorindown town from his ranch on SanAna-st, he spied a suspicious lookinauto on East-st. He got out, peekeand hunted about and discovered county chairmen from the eight Southern California counties, who were informed that there would be no change in the organization upon the occasion of this loan. It is expected that the bonds will be of the same denomination and will be offered on the so embasis of patriotic necessity plus probably added attractive features in the way of higher rate or tax exemptions, or both, the nature of which Director Franklin refused even to hint. The visitor explained that the proceeds of the Fourth Loan were exhausted by Dec. 10, and that bills were now being paid with borrowed money secured through the issue of Treasury certificates and which will be redeemed by proceeds from the Fifth Loan. Peak at Hand "The peak of the war expenditure is now at hand," said Director Franklin. "When the armistice was signed, we were just reaching the acme of production. Germany saw that, and in my opinion it hastened that country's desire to sign an armistice. The tremendous amount of money necessary to secure this rapid and speedy production-of war material must now be taken care of. Although this money went into tanks, aeroplanes and munitions that will never be used, it was the best investment America ever made. It saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of the best of America." Mr. Franklin made the astounding statement that had the war not been suspended when it was, there would have been, early in 1919, an American tank for every seventy-five feet of fighting front, and other supplies in proportion. This, he says, is what really broke down German morale. In the opinion of Director Franklin, the loan will be about the same size as the Fourth Loan. It will be a short term loan, probably five years, and it will be sold by the same organization and in the same general way as the Fourth Loan. It is expected the payments will be extended over a longer period of time, and April was given as the month in which the loan will be held. Done Year Sooner Chairman Henry S. McKee of the Southern California Liberty Loan State Central Organization, introducing the loan leader, stated "We commissioned our government to go CAR IN HALF HOUSE In addition to his other accounts plishments, Leroy Berger is some detective. Yes, he uses the Peek Hunt system. Saturday evening while motorin down town from his ranch on San Ana-st, he spied a suspicious looking auto on East-st. He got out, peeked and hunted about and discovered that was a case for Marshal Wood, whom he immediately brought to the scene of the crime. Marshal Wood corroborated that it really did look suspicious. Car Damaged A front wheel and axle were bent the top was thrown back and they were deep ruts in the turf where the car, apparently going at high speed, had been swerved suddenly to avoid collision with a telephone pole. The name plate had been torn off, but the number was taken, and the two came back up Broadway. Just as they came past Rev. Humphrey's residence, R. R. McDonald the minister's son-in-law, rushed out of the house and asked for a ride to the police station that he might notify Marshal Wood that his Ford had been stolen. McDonald was urged not to worry, that Marshal Wood was right there on the job, and they would take him to his car. Anaheim Is Live Town McDonald agrees that they do things fast in Anaheim—his car was stolen, wrecked and recovered in half an hour. Mr. and Mrs. McDonald were just ready to climb in their car and leave for Monrovia when the loss was discovered. FORM FISHING CLUB A number of Anaheim and northern Orange-co anglers are signing for membership in an organization known as the Bear Lake Fishing Club. The payment of $10 dues entitles the angler to $12.50 worth of accommodation at the camp where 100 tent houses will be opened in the spring. The camp will be furnished water and wood. The angler needs only to provide the grub. One attractive feature is guarantee of guides who can assure the angler of a limit of fish each day. organization and in the same general way as the Fourth Loan. It is expected the payments will be extended over a longer period of time, and April was given as the month in which the loan will be held. Done Year Sooner Chairman Henry S. McKee of the Southern California Liberty Loan State Central Organization, in introducing the loan leader, stated "We commissioned our government to go out and win this war. This was done a year sooner than expected. We know that the government was only acting as our agent. Now we are ready to pay hte bills, and I believe back of his government 100 percent at this time. America has never yet stepped from behind an obligation, and it will not do so at this time when we have every right to be the proudest people on earth." LOOKING FOR FISHING Indications that this will be a record year for pompano are evident at all the beaches. The pompano fishermen have been watching for weeks to learn what the sensor will bring, and word was received here that a steam fishing schooner off Redondo ran into one of the largest schools discovered in southern waters for some time. The pompano are about due to make their appearance at the beaches and fishing for them should start in the next few days. Barracuda are also reported to be plentiful at all the beach points. POSTPONE MEETING Because of health conditions, there will be no quarterly meeting this month of the Fourth District Congress of Mothers and P.T.A. The next meeting will be in April.

Frank Burt, who since the opening of Seal Beach as an amusement resort has been the general manager of the Bayside Land Co.'s amusement department, has tendered his resignation. Although he has severed his official connection with the company, Mr. Burt says he will continue his interest in Seal Beach, and intends to have one or more concessions on the front next summer. HELD FOR BAD CHECK Frenk E. Bates of Orange was arrested in Santa Ana for issuing a check for $77.45 to the Wardrobe clothing store when he had no funds in the bank. Bates made no attempt to escape.

BANKS OVERS SUBSCRIBE CERTIFICATE QUOTA Banks of Orange county as a whole have over-subscribed their quotas of United States Treasury certificates of indebtedness. The showing is one that means that the banks of the county are alive to their responsibilities toward the government and that they are in a prosperous condition. Up to and including Jan. 2, the total asked of banks of this county was $1,189,500, and the amount actually taken out in certificates by the banks up to that time was $1,256,500. The total resources of the banks of the county are $9,270,000. The following figures are taken from the report of the federal reserve bank for northern Orange-co banks: Subscrip- FEDERAL ORDERS BOOST ANAHEIM TELEPHONE RATE The government order increasing phone rates will affect Anaheim subscribers materially in that it will not only establish toll charges for all phone calls to Fullerton, Placentia, Brea, Yorba Linda and Garden Grove, and vice versa, but will increase rental rates as well.

CHILDREN TO GARDEN School children all over Orange county soon will begin planting vegetables, in accordance with the plan of the federal authorities to encourage gardening. Saturday morning at the court house there was a meeting of the Orange County School Gardens Bureau with the principals of the schools of the county at which the plan to have every school in the county carry on home gardening this spring was explained. County School Superintendent Mitchell, who is chairman of the gardens committee, presided at the meeting. The purpose of encouraging home gardens is two-fold. First, food-stuffs will be produced; second, educationally the children will learn something about agriculture. FORM BIBLE CLASSES Last week two new Y. M. C. A. groups were organized at Orange for Bible study and social activities unprovided for a toll rate to become meant a minimum 10-cent toll charge between exchanges. The government order, however, will establish a minimum toll rate of five cents between exchanges not more than six miles air-line distant. The new long distance telephone rates raise amounts to approximately 25 percent on all long distance calls, although between certain hours of the night the rate is lower. Chief among the new classifications is a division into two types of conversation—one a number-to-number call in which the party making the call either takes a chance his party will be at the number called or where it is not necessary to talk to a particular party; the other is the person-to-person call, where the party making the call designates a particular person he desires to talk with. There are two lower rate night periods, but exclusively for number-to-number calls. The rate from 8:80 to midnight is 50 percent less than the day rate, and from midnight to 4:30 a.m. 75 percent less. However, in that the minimum charge for the night service is 25 cents, there is no reduction within a radius of 32 air-line miles from the point at which the call originates. On all calls outside a radius of 32 miles the initial conversation period is on a basis of three minutes. Within a radius of 32 miles the initial period is 5 minutes. How to Compute Cost of Call The following are the charges, universa lall over the United States for the number-to-number calls; person-to-person calls are 25 percent additional. For distances less than six miles, air line, the initial rate is five cents, the charge increasing five cents with every additional six miles distance, up to nine miles. After that the initial rate increases five cents for every eight miles or fraction thereof of distance. All time over the initial period is based on a charge of a third of the initial rate per minute. S. A.

"This looks like just such a year as 84," says Greenleaf. "In that year the winds blew three or four weeks; everything dried up and everybody was crying for rain. Then the winds stopped, rains commenced, and it rained three or four months until everybody was praying for it to quit." USES GANAHL LUMBER The Ganahl Lumber Co. is providing the lumber for the new home of L. Frahm, to be erected on the 2½ acres of walnuts he has purchased at the corner of Lincoln-aye and Garden Grove-rd. The house will be 1½ stories and will cost $8000. FORM BIBLE CLASSES Last week two new Y. M. C. A. groups were organized at Orange for Bible study and social activities under direction of County Secretary Will Kroener. It required but little effort to round up enough fellows to make organization possible. After a few preliminaries and the regular procedure of organization the boys laid their plans for the season and expect to accomplish much in the way of Bible training and to take an important part in the athletic program that is being planned for Y. M. C. A. groups over the county. S. A. COLLECTS $8000 The city treasury of Santa Ana will be enriched by between $8000 and $9000 by the end of this month by the payment of the Southern California Gas company of the tax due on its franchise for a period of about six years. The franchise carries a provision that a certain percent shall be paid on the gross income of the company from its system in the city. The company has slipped by for six years without paying the tax, and discovery of the fact was made only a short time ago. MAKES WORLD RECORD A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio, states that a world's record has been set by a heavy bombing plane built by Glenn L. Martin, formerly of Santa Ana, at his factory at Cleveland. The big machine, carrying an extra load of 2500 pounds, flew from Dayton to Cleveland, a distance of 215 miles, in one hour and fifteen minutes, making a speed of 172 miles an hour. Nothing like that record has ever before been made by a heavy machine. RECORDER RESIGNS City Recorder Knowlton of Fullerton has resigend because of insufficient pay.

Reports showed that there were about 17 cases of influenza in quarantine there, and that attendance at the schools had dropped off materially. The Orange high school closed until Jan. 27. JOLLIFICATION OVER BIG DRY VICTORIES Last evening was the occasion for a general jollification over the recent dry victories in Anaheim and the nation, at the Anaheim Methodist church. Rev. A. B. Markle, veteran fighter for a clean town, bubbling over with joy at the great victories, convulsed his audience again and again with his sage and humorous review of the long fight to put the city and nation on the water wagon. "For 60 years Anaheim has been on the bottle. Now the child is old enough to be weaned," said the OUTFALL STRIKES SNAG ON HIRING OF LAWYER NOW With Santa Ana insisting that there shall be a head to the legal pro-joint outfall sewer to the ocean by Orange, Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana, and the councils of Anaheim and Orange failing to ratify action of the Inter-City Sewer Committee in employing Attorney Clyde Bishop as such head negotiations for the project are drifting into shallow water and may strike on sand at any time. Fullerton has approved the contract with Bishop. Anaheim and Orange are not opposed to Bishop personally, but the councils have taken the position that such employment would be a step in the dark, as nothing yet has been presented to show that the plan is feasible from an engineering standpoint or that there is need of a special legal advisor. ANAHEIM ORANGES IN BIG DEMAND IN EAST Extract from mrecent letter written by District Manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange at Evansville, Ind., concerning car of fruit, shipped by the old Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association on Dec. 21, 1918. "Upon receipt of this letter, I would like to have you place a standing order to ship weekly an exact duplicate of the above sizes in the Carnival brand. We have lined up about eight buyers, all of whom will take a weekly proportion from the arrivals of these cars. Place this order and let it stand until I advise you by wire to cut it out. We are calculating on re-shipping several buyers at Vincennes from these shipments in the reason we would like to have the sizes near as possible, or a duplicate of the above. "If you care to compliment the shippers of this car on the quality, exceedingly full pack, you may do so, as the writer believes this is one of the best cars of choice that I have ever had at this market. If the car had 100 boxes more, it would have been sold, as several of the buyers have been so impressed with the and may strike on sand at any time. Fullerton has approved the contract with Bishop. Anaheim and Orange are not opposed to Bishop personally, but the councils have taken the position that such employment would be a step in the dark, as nothing yet has been presented to show that the plan is feasible from an engineering standpoint or that there is need of a special legal advisor. The two cities are agreed that Bishop should draft and take charge of legislation necessary to carry out the plans and they are willing to stand their proportion of the cost of such work. Bishop Makes Offer At a called meeting of the Inter-City Sewer Committee held at Fullerton Friday night the situation was discussed at some length and resulted in Bishop making an offer, by request, to draft and carry through the legislation for the sum of $750, the contract to be cancelled if passage of the bill falls. If it carries the $750 will be applied on the contract fee, quarterly payments on the $2000 fee, as provided under the contract, will continue up to the election and should one or more of the four cities fail to vote bonds for the project, the contract will be cancelled. If all the cities vote bonds the contract continues for the period designated, which is two years. This offer will be submitted to the councils of Anaheim and Orange at once for their approval. Failure to approve will probably result in all "Everybody's Business" The attitude of the Santa Ana city council as represented by the majority of the members, is that the project is one that involves the expenditure of between $300,000 and $400,000 by the four cities, and that there should be some one individual responsible for the legal steps. The Santa Ana council does not take the position that Bishop should be that man. Orange and Anaheim believe that when the time comes for the legal documents and other proceedings that the attorneys of the four cities could handle the mwwithout a great deal of extra cost. "What is everybody's business is nobody's business," is the position of the Santa Ana council. Bishopalready has drafted the bill and it was introduced in the Assem- Vincennes from these shipments is the reason we would like to have the sizes near as possible, or a duplicate of the above. "If you care to compliment the shippers of this car on the quality, exceedingly full pack, you may do so, as the writer believes this is one of the best cars of choice that I have ever had at this market. If the car had 100 boxes more, it would have been sold, as several of the buyers have been so impressed with the quality that they have called at our office asking if they could have more." SET DATE FOR TRIAL February 18 has been set as the date for the trial of the action by Mrs. Agnes Maganey against J. N. Kent as administrator of the estate of her husband, J. Hayes Maganey of Placentia, who died here as the result of an automobile accident. The complaint in this case alleges that last April Maganey got his wife to sign an agreement of separation nad property settlement by which she gave up all her rights to hot share in the property. She alleges that by fraud she was led to believe that she was merely signing a paper to make it easier for her husband to deed a piece of property they were trying to sell. Attorneys Eden and Koepsel represent Mrs. Maganey. DROPS IN ON MOTHER Clarence White Chamberlain, cadet flyer from the Riverside aviation field, dropped into town Saturday. That is, breathless citizens thought he was going to drop. He volplaned down over the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Chamberlain, so close that they could recognize him as he waved his hand to them as he let a note to them flutter to the ground. He looped the loop several times and then hied away for Riverside. PROBATION IS SUCCESS men who were on probation in this county during 1918 failed to keep the terms. There were 82 adults making reports. During 1918 four men failed on probation. Of those four, two disappeared and two were sent to San Quentin. During 1918 there were 13 new probation cases. The terms of 17 others expired and the probationers were freed of the necessity of making reports. The thirteen placed on probation in 1918 were for causes as follows: Non-support, 4; burglary, 8; forgery, 3; embezzlement, grand larceny, contributing to delinquency of minor, child stealing, 1 each. During the year Probation Officer Scott collected $2354.16 from probationers for the care of their families. Of that amount $648 was turned into the county treasury and $1706.15 was paid to families.
