STOCKS MISSES FREE AIR WHEN HE HAS TO PUMP UP 35x5 David Stock tells how he misses the free air sign when he has to pump up the 35x5s on his government truck in the following interesting letter to his father, Robt. Stocks, of Buena Park: Chatillon-Sur-Seine, Feb. 22, 1919. Dear Rad: I was due to write home today, and as I sent a card to mother I selected you as the victim for the letter. The reason for the card was this—General Headquarters has been swamped with letters from relatives of soldiers asking for them. G. H. Q. decided some of the boys failed to write, so they took steps to make every member of the A.E.F. write home at least once. They sent out cards to all the organizations and they filled them but on the typewriter, and all we had to do was sign them. If you haven't been hearing from me lately, th though it isn't my fault as I have written often. However, as I said on the card I am in the best of health. I've got a job that I like, and am satisfied but can hardly say I'm contented. The weather has turned warmer but it rains most of the time. The roads are in terrible shape, but I've got a good machine and don't mind it much. Some of the mud training I got south of Cypress is sure coming in handy now. My machine has a Continental motor so I'm right at home with it. I'll tell you right now though, when I have a puncture I a lot of fun getting the machine working in the morning. We all concentrated on one car, got it going towed the rest. I'll never forget my first experience driving on ice. The road seemed lovely, all the chuck-holes were filled with ice, and I was filled with joy, but not for long. I soon covered that for slickness, it would make South Park-ave, after a rain seem like a bed of gravel. I would slide into the ditch, work up to a middle then, down the other side put chains on and they seems to go like skates, made the sliding easy. One thing about these roads really don't make them slippery, there's much gravel, but if it rains the freexes, Oh! Boy, how nice and silly. I hope everything is going fine for you. I'll be back there one of the days in the indefinite future. I'll glad to get there. Never again will I roam, etc. Wall I guess my line about out so I will close up for the time. Be good to yourself and don't worry too hard. With love, your son. DAYE. COURTHOUSE NOTE An appeal has been taken from the decision of Justice Cox in the action of Sarah J. Houston of Seal Beach against E. L. Lapidus of the same place. Mrs. Houston got judgment on a check for $200 alleged to have been given by Lapidus in a gambling game to her brother. Harry B. Rogers was ordered help to answer for trial in the superior court on a charge of non-support of his wife, who lives at Placentia. Emma C. Hafner has brought suit against Eva Birkes to foreclose $700 mortgage. The weather has turned warmer but it rains most of the time. The roads are in terrible shape, but I've got a good machine and don't mind it much. Some of the mud training I got south of Cypress is sure coming in handy now. My machine has a Continental motor so I'm right at home with it. I'll tell you right now though, when I have a puncture I miss the free air sign in front of the local garage. I have to use elbow grease and a hand pump, and I have 35x5 tires. Doesn't your heart go out in sympathy to your son, on a lonely highway with a brand new puncture and both spare tires used up? I always realize at those times as never before what a smart man General Sherman was.

Taggart Motor Co. 308 No. Los Angeles St. Phone 413, Anaheim NO ARGUMENT WILL OPPOSE BUYING OF BONDS SAYS BISBY (R. L. Bisby, chairman, Orange Co., Liberty Loan Committee) To Victory Bond Salesman: Very nearly two years ago the United States Government declared war upon Germany. For the first time in the history of the world, a country with an unselfish purpose at stake had gone to war. America did not go into the war for the purpose of gaining any territory, empliments or money but for the sole purpose of bringing freedom to an enslaved world. If it any wonder that the soldiers of America, fighting for such a noble purpose, should be invincible on the battlefields of the old world? Is it any wonder that the American soldier was enabled to accomplish in a shorter period of time greater results than ever had been accomplished by any nation in the world? Prior to the war the American soldier as a civilian had lived a life of ease and luxury surrounded by the comforts of home as well as the most modern equipment of civilization for his convenience and ease, yet at the call of right and justice he goes forth and assimilates the hardships of battle, together with the necessary discomforts of camp life and he does it without a kick or a complaint. Have Always Met Requests At home the civilian soldier has been called upon by his government four times for a loan and each time he has responded over and above the demands of his government, and why? Because he felt that the monstrous Loan should carry the word "Honor" upon it. The honor of America and the honon of each and every community in Aemrica, together with the honor of each and every individual of that community, is at stake, not alone to ourselves, but to the entire world, because no more are we bounded by the provincialism of nationalism. We are international power. We Are Dominant Factor We are a dominant factor in the policies of the world government, consequently the eyes of the world are upon us. The results of the most remote countries, as it will be here in America, so I say it is well that we should begin now to realize the responsibility that is upon us and prepare to go forward, and make this loan a success. Let there be no "ifs" and "ands" or "buts" in our conversation without fellowman in regard to this loan. You have always given your time, money, energy and ability in the raising of funds for the government. This is the last time you will be called upon to do this work, and I feel perfectly confident that the citizens of Orange co. will raise their quota, with the least effort put forth in any other loan. Let Victory be ours in the Victory Loan. EBELL CLUB HOLDS AN INTERESTING MEETING The Ebell club held a very interesting meeting in the club rooms in the Masonic bldg., on Monday afternoon.

We were Glad Nov. 11 On Nov. 11, 1918, the world was released from the strain of fear and sorrow by the information that the armies of the Allies had been victorious, and that the opposing armies were willing to concede to any terms. Never can we forget the surge of joy, of peace and happiness that went through the world at that time, yet had we thought, we must have realized that it was impossible that so great a piece of machinery as that of the war could be thrown into the reverse gear without an enormous cost to us, so we find ourselves at this time faced with the necessity of supplying our government with a Fifth or Victory Loan. It seems to me that we should be exceedingly well pleased that this cost in dollars does not carry with it the cost of several hundred thousand lives of our American boys. It has been said that Marshal Foch was in tears when he signed the armistice, for the reason that the strategic manipulations of the Allied armies had at that time placed him in the position where we could have captured 550,000 of the German soldiers in a single battle, yet it would have cost us the lives of several hundred thousand American soldiers. To my way of thinking the whole Ger- EBELL CLUB HOLDS AN INTERESTING MEETING The Ebell club held a very interesting meeting in the club rooms in the Masonic bldg., on Monday afternoon. The meeting opened with community singing. Miss Kathleen Byram, teacher of oral expression in the High school gave two readings which were greatly appreciated. Mrs. John Joseph Farley gave two vocal numbers. Mrs. Helen Moore of Los Angeles with her husband gave an exhibition of the latest society dances. This was their first appearance before an Anaheim audience and they were graciously received. At the primary election the following received enough votes for election; president, Mrs. H. O. Henderson; librarian, Mrs. J. A. Clayes; curator, Mrs. G. A. Gifford; treasurer, Mrs. Coons. The following will be voted on at the May meeting first vice president, Mrs. J. Kellenberger, Mrs. F.

Pearson. The following were chosen as delegates and alternates to the county convention at Placentia on April 30th: Mesdames W. W. Manter, Grace Adkins, J. H. Garnett, Linna Thomas, Mrs. Ida Dutton, and Mrs. J. C.Callaway. Mesdames Gifford, Simpson, Clayes and Henderson were appointed to attend the southern district and state convention in San Diego, May 12th and 13th. Savag The Savage is one of is manufactured in Cal- age Exclusively because It has been said that Marshal Foch was in tears when he signed the armistice, for the reason that the strategic manipulations of the Allied armies had at that time placed him in the position where we could have captured 550,000 of the German soldiers in a single battle, yet it would have cost us the lives of several hundred thousand American soldiers. To my way of thinking the whole German empire is not worth the life of one American soldier. No Argument Against Loan To you will be instrued the responsibility of raising this money for the government, so it is time now for us to look the question straight in the face squarely and fairly and shown up for what it is worth. To my mind the American people are the best sportsmen in the world. They are the most honest people in the world; consequently I can see nothing but success for this, the Victory Loan. I cannot believe that the American people will ever repudiate a just and honest obligation, that they will ever refuse to pay for that which was given them. A victory was ordered. A victory was purchased. We must pay the price. Every indication seems to point that the government is going to be as liberal in the rate of interest as possible. Who Is the Government? I hear a good deal of talk about what the government should do. I would like to ask you, "Who is the government?" Is it not you and I and all the rest of the good people of the United States? Do we not elect and send our representatives to congress to carry out our wishes? And if we add to the expense of this loan are we not taking it out of our own pockets? The standard for the Fifth or Vic- 19 ASSESSMENT OF ORANGE-CO TO PASS $100,000,000 MARK With five weeks of his work done upon 1919 assessment of Orange-co, County Assessor James Sleeper is convinced that the total assessed valuation of this county is going to go over $100,000,000. There will be a raise of probably $20,000,000. Most of the raise will come from the oil districts. With this raise in sight, Orange county stands every chance of having the lowest tax rate in the country. The tax rate will be fixed in September upon the assessment now being made. Present Total $79,000,000 The present total assessment of the county is $79,000,000, of which $73,-000,000 is available for county taxation. There is an assessment of about $6,000,000 upon property that is handled by the state for taxation purposes. "All of Orange-co has gone ahead in the last year," said County Assessor Sleeper. "There are a lot of new orange orchards and walnut groves being assessed this year for the first time. I have been going over a lot of property upon which adjustments in valuations are necessary. Gusher Too Late "The big Chapman gusher came in to olate to be assessed this year. My assessment is made upon things as they were on March 1, and the Chap- man well was brought in after that. That well has opened up a lot of territory that will mean a raise for that section next year. However there was a good deal of activity in the oil fields in the last year, and the total raises in the oil territory is going to be big." SCHNEIDER WRITES A letter received on Monday from Oscar Schneider, who is in the Naval Reserve, stated that he was in England. He had shore leave and had visited some of England. He said they were going on to Germany. FELLINGE'S DANCE A dance will be given tonight and on Saturday evening at the Odd Fellows Hall by the Fellinge's orchestra.
