Mr. Advertiser: The Plain Dealer Co The Orange LEA VOL XXI, No. 112 DR. SINGMAN PHEE, KOREAN EDUCATOR, IN CITY RECENTLY Dr. Singman Rhee, whose name appears in connection with the Korean Independence Movement, was a recent visitor to Anabam on his way from Honolulu to Washington. He called on Mr. and Mrs. R. Zurbuchen of this city who were associated with him in Hawaii for four years in the Korean educational work. He also came to call on two of his former students, Walter Cha and Adelaide Kim, two Korean young people who are making their home at Rev. Zurbuchens. Studied Confucianism "Dr. Rhee's life is full of thrilling interest," said Mr. Zurbuchen. "He was early educated in Confucianism but later came to a Christian mission school to absorb western education. He printed the first newspaper in Korea in which he advocated reforms for the Hermit Kingdom, for this he was thrown into prison for seven years. Prison life was so indescribable that it was necessary to hoist it by several ropes suspended from the roof of the Kisler-bldg." Studied Confucianism "Dr. Rhee's life is full of thrilling interest," said Mr. Zurbuchen, "he was early educated in Confucianism but later came to a Christian mission school to absorb western education. He printed the first newspaper in Korea in which he advocated reforms for the Hermit Kingdom, for this he was thrown into prison for seven years. Prison life was so indescribably brutal that Dr. Rhee carries the physical marks from his incarceration to this day. For 7 months he was fastened to one of those inhuman prison stocks with head, hands and feet fastened continuously. It was there when he believed the day of his execution had come that he turned to Christianity and became so changed that despite his great suffering he began to preach the power of the Gospel to his fellow prisoners. This resulted in the conversion of nearly all the inmates, even the wardens of the prison, and this soon ameliorated the intolerable prison conditions till it became more like a prayer meeting. In Prison 7 Years Upon his release from his seven years imprisonment, Dr. Rhee came to the United States, entered George Washington university in Washington, D.C., and received his B.A. Then he went to Harvard and received his M.A. degree and from there to Princeton where he received his Ph.D. signed by Woodrow Wilson. He went back to Korea and started the Y.M.C.A. work in Seoul. In 1912 he was sent as a delegate to the General Conference of the M.E. church in Minneapolis, Minn. It was not considered safe for him to return to Korea on account of the persecution by the Japanese of all Koreans who were too outspoken for liberty. Consequently he went to Hawaii, where he started a flourishing school for Korean boys and girls. Starting Point Again Thus Hawaii, the outpost of western civilization, again becomes the starting point of an uplifting movement. Hawaii was the home of General Armstrong who did much a great work among the colored people of this country. Hawaii was the home of Dr. Sun Yat Sen the first president of the Chinese Republic. And every liberty-loving heart breathes a pray- BRIDGE CLUB MEETS The members of the Wednesday Auction Bridge Club were delightfully entertained at the home of Mrs. J. A. Clayas. A one-eight lunchon preceded the games, at which a color scheme of green and white was used. Shamrocks were used as place cards and candelabras with green shades shed a soft light over the board at which covers were laid for Mmes. Grace Adkins, Edgar Hartung, G. A. Gifford, Wm. Jackson, D. Jessurun, Ralph Maas, W. W. Manter, H. O. Henderson, B. H. Sidman, J. H. Garnett, Edith Mitchell and hostess. During the afternoon the ladies enjoyed bridge, Mrs. Jackson winning the first prize, and Mrs. Edgar Hartung, second. EMPLOYEE'S MEETING The Efficiency Club, composed of employees of the Southern Counties Gas Co. thruout Orange-co, met in the Santa Ana office on Wednesday evening for their business and social meeting. Officers were elected and other business transacted. 47 were present and enjoyed talks from four of the employees of the company who have been in the service, one having been in France. Refreshments were served at a long table where all were seated and a pleasant social time was enjoyed. 80TH ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. N.R. Phillips and daughter Ethel attended a birthday party in Santa Ana last evening, at the home of Mrs. Geo Post in honor of the 80th birthday anniversary of Mrs. Phillip's mother, Mrs. Lucy Elliott. Twenty children and grandchildren were present. After the dinner games and music was enjoyed by all. I.O.O.F. GO TO S.A. A delegation of Odd Follows went to having the largest electric sign in northern Orange-co. The sign which was manufactured in Chicago arrived by express this week. The job cost $400. Joe Lieb, local electrician, made the installation. So big is the sign into which are screwed several hundred incandescent bulbs that it was necessary to hoist it by several ropes suspended from the roof of the Kissler-bldg. Thus Hawaii, the outpost of western civilization, again becomes the starting point of an uplifting movement. Hawaii was the home of General Armstrong who did much a great work among the colored people of this country. Hawaii was the home of Dr. Sun Yat Sen the first president of the Chinese Republic. And every liberty-loving heart breathes a prayer that it may be the home of Korean emancipation, through the efforts of Dr. Rhee. His mission to Washington is to plead with the Paris Peace Conference for Korean independence thru his friend, President Wilson. NEW MOTORCYCLES W. H. Boon Wednesday received the first new Harley-Davidson motorcycle he has been able to secure in eight months, because of government wartime demands. He didn't get to keep it long, delivering it to Wm. Snyder of Fullerton the same day. Boon expects that deliveries will be coming thus satisfactorily from now on.

"W Orange County Plain LEADING NEWSPAPER IN NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY DISTRICT MEETING FOR NEW BUILDING AT FREMONT THURS. The Anaheim grammar school board announced today that a district meeting had been called for next Thursday evening at Fremont school when the proposition of a new Central building will be presented and discussed. It is planned to make this meeting of citizens a popular affair and largely attended in order to obtain a true expression of the majority opinion of the community upon this much needed improvement. Members of the school stated today that it was absolutely necessary to do something to make room for school children, with every school room in the city packed far beyond the efficiency point. Can't Put It Off Longer "We can't put it off any longer, even if we wanted to," said one member of the school board this morning. "We owe it to our children to give them better school facilities." ANAHEIM INVENTOR HAS MACHINE THAT WILL PEEL ORANGE A machine that will successfully peel citrus fruit, something that has long been wanted by manufacturers of citrus bi-products, has been constructed by Roland Ingram, of Anaheim, in conjunction with F. W. Opp, of Santa Ana. They have just secured their first papers from the patent office. The machine will peel the rind of an orange, lemon or grape fruit as thin as paper, or clear thru the pulp to the juice-cells, and without mutilating the fruit. Now Peeled by Hand Citrus fruit manufacturers have been experimenting unsuccessfully with peeling machines based upon the same principle as used in apple peelers where safety-razor blade affair removes the peeling, but they have been unable to adapt this principle to the tougher peeling of citrus fruit. Ingram used an entirely different idea. A rotary blade removes around the citrus fruit with such precision or flatness that no transporting the S. P. between Angeles has been done day after day with three sprung a flat train has been ginger service for the railroad admixture last year.

Can't Put It Off Longer "We can't put it off any longer, even if we wanted to," said one member of the school board this morning. "We owe it to our children to give them better school facilities." It was announced today that C. E. Jones, of No. Lemon-st, had withdrawn from the race for school trustee in favor of C. E. Chamberlain, 205 Crone-ave, who has agreed to make the race to afford West Anaheim patrons a representative on the school board. One trustee will be elected. Wm. Chambers, whose term expires, also is a candidate. On Pasadena Board Mr. Chamberlain, the new candidate, has had six years experience upon the Pasadena school board. 3 of his children have gone thru school and two are now in school. Incidentally, a son, Clarence Chamberlain, who recently afforded Anaheim a rare treat in the way of aerial gymnastics when he dived and dipped over the city, tossing a note to his parents, has received his honorable discharge from March Field and arrived home last evening. MAYHEW PASSES UP $55,000 FOR RANCH J. P. Mayhew stated yesterday that he had refused an offer of $55,000 for his 15-acre Valencia grove on the Olive-rd, when asked if he had sold for $65,000. "I told 'em if they wanted to put $20,000 on top of their offer I might consider it, but I didn't want to sell," said Mr. Mayhew. COURTHOUSE NOTES Suit for action has been brought by Mary Van Ocher against Edward Ocher. The couple married in Belgium. Judgment of $528 was given yesterday to the First National Bank of Huntington Beach against H. C. Decker; upon a chattel mortgage. Because the plaintiff failed to prosecute a case, judgment was given the defendant in S. S. Van Dyke against Now Peeled by Hand Citrus fruit manufacturers have been experimenting unsuccessfully with peeling machines based upon the same principle as used in apple peelers where a safety-razor blade affix removes the peeling, but they have been unable to adapt this principle to the tougher peeling of citrus fruit. Ingram used an entirely different idea. A rotary blade removes around the citrus fruit with such nicely or regularly that the thickness of the peeling removed can be varied most satisfactorily. A very small individual motor operates the blade. About 40 oranges can be peeled per minute. The machine is expected to relieve citrus manufacturers of a vast amount of labor and expense now necessitated by the hand peeling method of handling the fruit. Make Extract Ingram has a two-ounce bottle of extract of the thin outer rind of an orange removed by his machine which is so strong that two or three drops is sufficient to flavor a cake. He estimates the two ounces would be enough to make a gallon of orange extract. The inventors will place their machine with citrus manufacturers on a royalty basis. The manufacturers are now paying 5% for a pound of peeling. The machine will be offered manufacturers at a much lower rate. Takees Any Size It is not necessary to grade the fruit as the machine peels large or small, and will go right thru the hardened, dried-out spots, caused by heat, frost or wind bruise, so often found in cull fruit. Mr. Ingram states he now has methods of handling profitably refuse from citrus fruit canning factories, so that there is absolutely no refuse. He says there is a bigger profit going to waste now in refuse from these factories than goes into the canned fruits. He is not telling just yet what are these methods for making bi-products. The machine will be manufactured in Anaheim if it is found to be possible to do the work here.

P. between Anaheim and Los Angeles has been laid up several days with tire trouble, that is, it sprung a flat wheel, and a steam train has been handling the passenger service for the first time since the railroad administration made the change last year. GARY TRUCK AGENCY AT LIBERTY GARAGE The Liberty Garage, 205 So. Los Angeles-st, has taken the Orange-coagency for the famous Gary truck. The Gary truck has the very desirable worm-drive feature and Buda motor which has been manufactured for 26 years. The trucks come in sizes from one to five tons. A demonstrator will be in Anaheim within a few days. The Gary Truck is handled in southern California by the Gary South Coast agency of Los Angeles. It is their announced purpose to make the Gary the best advertised truck in the southland. ANOTHER FINE RAIN PUTS THIS DISTRICT ALMOST AT NORMAL With the war over and peace here again, oil gushers, gushing tip prices for citrus fruits, and record figures being offered for citrus lands, Anaheim and northern Orange-coanchers needed only assurance of plenty of rain. This they have been getting with unfailing regularity recently. Following the fine rain of last week, this district was favored with another generous downpour Thursday night, followed by other showers since then. Thursday night's precipitation measured .54 of an inch, according to Max Nebelung's rain gauge and by noon yesterday this figure had been increased by .14 of an inch more. This made the total for the season at that hour an even nine inches, continued Mr. Nebelung. Better Than Eas Fall "And all this rain we're getting now is doing us a long-sight more good than if it had fallen last fall." GIRL, 19, HANDLES BARNES' ELEPHANTS How a girl no bigger than a "will to the wisp" and who would faint dead away if forced to face a mouse will fearlessly grasp the coarse leather trunk of a tusker fresh from the jungles and teach him to trumpet at command is another of the feminine wonders that men will never be able to understand. Yet, this is exactly what little Grace Marvel does. Miss Marvel is a California girl, nineteen years old. Placerville was her birth place and for three years she has been an elephant trainer. It is a fact that some folks are born for certain things and with real knowledge of some particular thing and that is the way it is with Grace. She just knows elephants will love and protect her and why there should be anything wonderful in that does not impress her. The fact that she is making a profession of teaching wild elephants to trumpet at an unnoticed signal or command does not seem odd to her. Miss Marvel is coming to Anaheim on March 24 with the Al G. Barnes big four-ring, wild animal circus and will be seen putting a herd of elephants through queer and frolicsome feats, lying on their tusks and being whisked about by the beasts' trunks into novel posing features. There will be a street parade in the morning and door open at 1 and 7 p.m. S. S. COMMENCEMENT The teachers training class of the Salem Evangelical Sunday school will be held Sunday evening, March 23.

It is their announced purpose to make the Gary the best advertised truck in the southland. Better Than Kes Fall "And all this rain we're getting now is doing us a long-sight more good than if it had fallen last fall," said Mr. Nebelung, who states that Anaheim is now very close to the normal rainfall figure. The rains of the last week have certainly been putting the pop in the orange trees and barley fields. Better still, the heavy snows on the mountains insure good water levels. And speaking of high orange prices, Manager Schureman of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Assn. mentions the sale of a car of Mediterranean sweets at San Antonio, Tex. Wednesday at $4.50 f. o. b. Anaheim for the Mother Cology brand and $4.00 for the Carnivals. Schuremann Optimistic If you're pessimistic about the orange market, you'll get no sympathy from Schuremann who sees nothing ahead but the most satisfactory prices for Anaheim's big Valencia crop. Says Schuremann: "I visited the two big Exchange packing houses at Pomona this week and I was told frankly that the frost damage in that district was looming up in continually greater proportions as the navel packing season advanced. I watched the fruit going thru a frost separator and remarked to the foreman that fully 50 per cent was floating off." agreed that it was worse than 50 percent. I was told that of one lot of 119 boxes of fruit, they got only nine packed boxes. Navels End Soon In my opinion, the bottom is going to drop out of the navel market shortly. That is unfortunate for the other district that this is so, but it certainly redounds to the credit of this district. Schuremann was very much interested in another striking illustration of the greater hardiness of the Valencia orange over the navel. He says: "I visited a grove at Walnut, near Pomona, this week. The navels were badly frosted but I failed to find a single frosted Valencia aloft the Va- S. S.
