The rose is fair, but fairer we it deem For that sweet odor which doth in it live. —Shakespeare. WORLD WAR VETERANS AS UP-HOLDERS OF LAW A few commentators, recklessly discussing prevailing "crime waves" ascribe much of the criminality to men who from service in the world war became accustomed to scenes of bloodshed and horror and thus, it is alleged by these critics, hold human life cheaply and do not hesitate to commit desperate crimes. This carries an inference that is cruelly unjust to the brave men of the Ameri- No. of Bank—571.

Instead of being responsible for crimes, former service men in many localities are doing all possible in cooperation with constituted authorities, to suppress criminal depredations. In Yolo-co, California, for example, 70 members of Rolo post of the American Legion have just been sworn in as deputy sheriffs in efforts to combat a crime wave in that county. The men are ready and eager to aid in this good work. This is typical of the spirit of members of the American Legion and ex-service men in general. They stand loyally for law and order against crime and violence. One of America is safer in Orange than any client art of these men. These men still hold some Fernando vying with Trumbull his life.

Phone Bdwy. 107 Home 60597 The ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA The Village Gossip One of the oldest vocations in America is to be followed this winter in Orange-co as a means of livelihood by two men skilled in the ancient art of trapping. These men are J. O. Trujillo, of Santa Ana, and Owen Trumbull, who for some time has lived in the San Fernando valley and who is now living with Trujillo. These days—at least it is true with Trumbull and Trujillo—the trappers set forth in an auto, and with 22 rifles and a kodak. They carry a variety of steel traps, and if one would judge by the odor, a box of bait that came over along about the time the Mayflower landed. Trumbull has been a trapper all his life. He began scouting along the streams in the pine forests of northern Michigan more than half a century ago. His experiences as a trapper include the capture of bears, panthers and wolves. In his time he has taken many thousands of coops, mink, muskrats and other furred animals. He was known as one of the best trappers in Michigan. Trumbull is getting along in years now, but he has lost none of his keenness. While running an apiary in the mountains near San Fernando he did some trapping. He caught a number of wildcats and coyotes, and sold their skins in Los Angeles. Trujillo knows the Santa Ana mountains thoroly. He believes that he and Trumbull can make a good living for themselves trapping in the canyons from the Santa Ana river south of the Trabuco. They have secured a permit from the State Fish and Game Commission to do trapping and they are now seeking permits from federal forest authorities to go into the Santa Ana mountains in search of wildcats, foxes, coyotes, skunks, civet cats, and mountain lions. The box of bait mentioned above is filled with fish. Trumbull is willing to guarantee that the odor from a bit of one of those fishes will bring a wildcat or a coyote from the brush a mile away. "We have 150 traps in our auto and we are ready to start just as soon as the permits are secured," said Trujillo. West Coast "Uncle" Pat McCov and Mrs. A. E. Rathburn and daughter, Gladys who have been visiting a couple of weeks at the home of Mr. Cris McCoy, returned to Fresno Saturday. A party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Robertson, Mr. and Mrs. Bush and Miss Cook motored to Brea Canyon Friday evening to view the fire. Mr. and Mrs. Cobb, of Los Angeles spent Saturday night and Sunday with their parents, C. H. Keen and wife. Saturday Mr. J. Swartz stepped on a nail which caused him to visit a doctor. His friends wish him well. The two small sons of Mr. and Mrs. Landon of West Coast are in the Orange-co hospital with pneumonia. Bingham Watson and some boy friends from Fullerton spent Sunday evening at Seal Beach. Mr. Loyd Willes and Mr. Johnnie Schwartz called at the home of Miss Media Watson, on Sunshine-ave, Sunday evening. Miss Bessie Luckenbach was a guest also. A pleasant evening was enjoyed. Mrs. Jim Grewcoe and W. C. Watson and wife were Anaheim visitors Saturday evening. Mr. Chester McQuarie and wife and Mrs. D.

They went from there to the Bryant ranch to gather oranges, returning home via Orange, where they visited Mr. and Mrs. Brigham, W. C. Watson's sister. A jolly party of young ladies went shopping in Anaheim Saturday evening. Media Watson, Helen and Bessie Luckenbach of West Coast and several girl friends of Fullerton joined them, which made shopping a La Habra in their new home Tuesday.

ORIGINATION OF THINGS HOSPITALS The first record of hospitals being established was in the reign of King Asoka of India, during the third century B.C. Beth-Sel, mentioned in the New Testament, was an early Hebrew hospital. A record remains showing the foundation of a hospital by Valeng in Caesarea, 380 A.D. The first hospital in the U.S. was the Pennsylvania Hospital, founded in 1750. Benjamin Franklin was its first clerk. A lot of boys still in the hospitals would be glad to pay 1920 income tax. How about yours?

No longer will it be necessary for the Anaheim housewife to spend hours and hours in her kitchen doing the family baking. No longer will it be necessary to rely on bread shipped in from miles and miles away — having lost much of its freshness, and no little of its palatability in the long journey. Perhaps BAKING never occurred to you as being such a wonderful business. Perhaps you never stopped to consider the exceptional possibilities in being vitally connected with a business institution that supplies the brain and brawn of you and your fellow-townsmen. Miss Conlin will open your eyes. For bread making is not only NECESSARY—it is ROMANTIC—and what is MORE, it is one of the most PROFITABLE of any of the businesses dealing in FOOD.
