Anaheim Has The Most The Orang LEAD VOL. XXI, No. 114 This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Understated That Its Circulation Equals Any Two Others in This B. OF T. WILL BACK EFFORT TO OBTAIN MEAT INSPECTION The Board of Trade voted Monday evening to back John Reuter of the Anaheim Beef & Provision Co. in an attempt to obtain assistance from the county and city for inspection of meats. Mr. Reuther astounded the businessmen's gathering when he related instances of infected meat being placed upon the local market by indiscriminate dealers. The Beef & Provision Co., he stated, voluntarily subjected itself to inspection by an authorized official from Los Angeles, paying him for the inspection at the rate of 60 cents an hour and transportation, and, of course, suffering the loss of rejected meats. He estimated this voluntary inspection cost his company around $2000 per annum. Protects Public This inspection is being done to protect the public and the provision company against any bad meals getting on the market. He said this in Protects Public This inspection is being done to protect the public and the provision company against any bad meats getting on the market. He said this inspection meant the throwing out of about 200 beef livers while 500 beavers were being slaughtered monthly. There is no enforced inspection of meats in Orange-co, stated Mr. Reuther, and it is safer to buy your hamburger in Los Angeles than it is in this county, where everything is put into it and preservaline is being used by some indiscriminate butchers. He cited an instance of two steers, on their way to beet pasture, after long train haul, falling from weakness on West 17th-st, Santa Ana, where they were skinned by the roadside and cut up for Santa Ana meat consumers. Infected Meat Sent Here Mr. Reuther said the enforcement of Los Angeles-co laws against tuberculin cattle was resulting in the dumping of large quantities of infected meat onto Orange-co markets against which legitimate butchers and dealers were handicapped. He urged attempts for better milk inspection in connection with meat inspection, stating he had been informed by City Health Officer Truxaw that seven children had died in this vicinity recently directly on account of milk from tubercular cows. The Board of Trade appointed Mr. Reuther chairman of a committee to appear before the city council. Associated Chambers of Commerce and the board of supervisors to obtain the remedial legislation.

Pressing Need for More Room The very pressing needs for new school facilities was emphasized by an announcement from the school board that right now in Anaheim 44 children who should be in the first grade were being kept at home because there was no room for them in any of the schools. The first grade at Broadway school has 56 pupils it was stated. Practically every grammar school room in the city is overcrowded beyond the point where the teacher can give the individual pupil efficient attention, the board states. Lagging in Facilities Anaheim, progressive in every other way, is lagging in its school facilities, far behind neighboring cities, while many of the smaller towns are much better equipped, the board announces, in urging that there be a large attendance at the district meeting Thursday evening. Friday will be school election day. There will be one trustee elected to grammar school board and two trustees elected to the Anaheim Union high school board. Wm. Chambers, who has had several years experience on the school board, is running to succeed himself.

Hart one of the greatest drawing cards in the silent drama? The answer is, he is the ablest exponent of the romantic characters of the rapidly passing frontier. He is an actor whose individuality is submerged in every character that he portrays. Again his characterizations bear the imprint of his genius as a student of manly styles, and by his art he has brought to the screen a series of portraits which, once seen will ever live in the memory of his spectators. His latest product “Breed of Men.” is shown at the New Fairyland Thursday and Friday. OELKE HOME AGAIN Herbert Oelke, son of Mrs. L. Oelke of No. Clauding, arrived yes. EXCHANGE GRILL INVITING PLACE Another of the recent improvements to Anaheim’s business district is the Exchange Grill which was opened immediately following the closing of the saloons by A. Kleuwer in what was formerly the Exchange Bar. The venture proved so successful from the very start that Mr. Kleuwer has been adding first one improvement and then another until now he has a most elaborately appointed place for an establishment of this kind. The same well-known bar still is used for quick lunch counter and soft drinks which are handed out by uniformed waitresses while artistically arranged booths of novel designs contain tables for ladies. Mr. Kleuwer copied the idea for the booths from those of a famous Paris restaurant. Mr. Kleuwer’s establishment is just one of the many progressive business institutions Anaheim boasts and concerning which, incidentally, The Plain Dealer will present to the public each week, with accompanying photograph, in its campaign to impress the buying public that Anaheim has the most progressive businesses and the most convenient shopping district in Orange-co.

Ben Baxter, Cem YEGGSMEN BREAK INTO ARTESIA BANK EARLY TUESDAY; GET AWAY CYPRESS May. 26.—Special—The First National Bank of Artesia was broken into sometime early Tuesday morning. The amount of loss has not been determined as yet but it is considerably below the figures first reported. An entrance was forced thru the back door of the Scott & Frampton store then thru the door connecting the bank and store. A hole was burned thru the outer door of the vault with an acetylene torch and thru this hole some nitroglycerine was injected and the lock forced. Lock boxes within the vault were broken into by the use of an ax. The safe within the vault in which all bank moneys and valuables are kept, was not disturbed as it would have taken a much longer time than the robbers had to have opened it. JADA CLUB MEETS The Jada club met last evening at the Eagles' Hall with a large number present. The birthday anniversaries of Miss Jeanette Jessurun and Miss Dorothy Swope were celebrated. Willem Jessurun entertained the young people with a number of vocal solos. Dancing was enjoyed until a late hour and delicious refreshments were enjoyed by all. The main feature being the birthday cake. URGE OILFIELD-RD; EYGABROAD, PRINCE A. C. C. DELEGATES Chas. Eygabroad and C. R. Prince were elected delegates Monday night by the Board of Trade. the bank and store. A hole was burned thru the outer door of the vault with an acetylene torch and thru this hole some nitroglycerine was injected and the lock forced. Lock boxes within the vault were broken into by the use of an ax. The safe within the vault in which all bank moneys and valuables are kept, was not disturbed as it would have taken a much longer time than the robbers had to have opened it. The principal loss was in bonds and valuables stored in the lock boxes. Scott & Franmpton lost in the neighborhood of $500 in cash, which they had in a private box, and there was some other cash in a few of the other boxes but not enough to amount to a great loss. The amount of bonds stored in the boxes was considerable less than the $33,000 reported. The robbers in their haste overlooked several bonds and some cash, but engaged Uncle Sam's attention by taking about $500 in post office supplies. The taking of these supplies indicates that the robbers were amateurs at the game. There are several clews of more or less value. Two men rented a car in Los Angeles, the car was found in the Artesia school yard evidently abandoned after it had balked. The tools used in the forcing of the doors of the bank and forcing the lock boxes were obtained by breaking into the Providence blacksmith shop. There were footprints galore, and finger prints as many. Two men took the early car to Los Angeles with bundles under their coats. So it would appear that the robbers stand a very slim chance of escaping. Much of the banking business of the northwest of Orange-co is done at the Artesia bank. Therefore, we of Orange-co are much interested in the capture of the robbers. The banking rooms were a sorry sight. Furniture was broken and overturned. The floor was piled with papers and the demolished boxes. Many blankets and several bolts of goods were used to muffle the sound of the explosion. And in general the place was cyclone struck. S. R. COATE BUYS 20-ACRE GROVE URGE OILFIELD-RD; EYGABROAD, PRINCE A. C. C. DELEGATES Chas. Eygabroad and C. R.

Mills asking the supervisors to put in four miles of paving starting at the corner of North and East-sts east on LaPalma ave and Corona-rd to Richfield.

AUTO RECOVERED WITHIN HALF HOUR Police acted fast Monday when they recovered Lee Leep's stolen auto within 30 minutes after it was stolen from the Leep home at Clementina and Broadway.

Barnes circus parade was an Avery tractor driven by an employee of Edw. L. Olmstead, manager of the Avery Tractor Company of Orange County. The driver was attired in typical tube costume and he got about as much of a hand as the circus clowns. Ben Baxter, Cement Pipe, Pac 175R1 If it's from Witman's, it's good.
