This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Understanding that Its Circulation Equals Any Three Others In This Field. VOL. XXIV—No. 145 OLD FASHIONED RAIN BRINGS GREAT JOY TO CITRUS GROWER Sorely Needed by Bean and Beet Farmers As Well As by Orchardists: The old-fashioned rain which Anaheim and other districts in Orange-co have long been awaiting, arrived in glorious fashion last evening, after making several fitful starts since Sunday night. Ranchers revelled in it, holsted their feet up before the gum-wood blaze in the old fireplace and remarked to mother they didn't care if it poured for a week. The Anaheim Sugar Co. guage at 7 a.m. read 1.97, Max Nebelung's guage 1.95 at 8 a.m. and H. A. Dickel's 1.98 at 10 a.m. The storm caused alight inconvenience to the telephone company, six lines of 28 phones being thrown out of the Anaheim exchange by wet branches brushing against wires. At Placentia a wet cable also disrupted service somewhat for a time. The rain was sorely needed, not only for field crops as beans, beets and barley, but also by citrus growers who had been forced to irrigate. The rainfall at 7 a.m. for points thruout the county was gauged as follows: Storm Season Anaheim Sugar Co. ... 1.97 5.05 Yorba Linda ... 1.74 La Habra ... 2.20 Fullerton ... 1.90 4.32 Santa Ana ... 1.74 4.69 Huntington Beach ... 1.49 3.50 Teibert ... 1.55 2.75 Dyer ... 1.36 4.63 MULE STILL KICKS; ORANGE MAN INJURED There is still one thing left in this country that hasn't had the "kick" extracted from it. And there is at least one person who would be thankful if Mr. Volstead would direct some of his attention towards a remedy. This person is J. C. Harper, of No. Cambridge-st, Orange, and the object which is still unawares that a "kick" is prohibited in this country in one of Harper's mules. As Mr. Harper was turning the unlawful creatures into the corral, one of the pair lifted up its hind feet and walloped him gently in the back. The no bones were broken Harper is now laid up and will probably be so for a week or more. YORBA TO VOTE ON $46,000 SCHOOL ISSUE Election at Present School Building February 19.

Bloodgood, of Santa Ana, district trustee, delighted those around the festive board with an inspiring address on the purposes of the Kiwanis. "The object of the Kiwanis," said Mr. Bloodgood, "has never been definitely defined. It's impossible to define it; it must be sensed. I cannot tell you how an orange tastes—in the same way I cannot tell you what a Kiwanis is. You have to experience it." "Kiwanis is unique in its organization," continued Mr. Bloodgood. "One day each week we lay aside business worries and meet 'the other fellow' as boys, thinking of the other fellow." "Kiwanis is a power in a community. It does not affect other clubs only strengthening them. When we meet we have no set program—but a definite program."

Beautification of state highways with trees from the Oregon line to the Mexican border, and from the Sierra to the Pacific, is the prime purpose of this committee. This committee will soon approve, and issue a general plan by which trees will be planted and maintained along the highways. The evils of the past, promiscuous planting and no maintenance, will be corrected in the new plan which will provide rules and reuplations for planting and maintenance, designed to give California a system of highway tree planting second to none in the world.

TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR DISCOVER ORANGETHORPE RAIDED OTHER DISTRICTS New Incorporation Grabbed Off Large Slices of Neighbors School Taxes. Says County Assessor. The city of Orangethorpe isn't the oldest municipality in Orange-co but it can show some speed. Today, it appeared as if the young berg had slipped one over on a number of adjoining school districts in fixing its corporate limits recently. Be it remembered that a year or so ago the Fullerton school district swiped a large slice from the Orangethorpe school district just when Orangethorpe was getting ready to erect a new $60,000 school building. Whether or not that experience aroused Orangethorpe folks to the possibilities of boundary jumping, that is just what has happened. The matter was brot to the attention of county supervisors today by County Assessor James Sleeper who asked for information as to how he should handle school district assessments. Sleeper pointed out that the Orangethorpe city limits took in about 160 acres of the Loara district, about one-fifth or 700 acres of the Magnolia district, about 200 acres of Centralia district and about 80 acres from Buena Park district. District Attorney Nelson issued an opinion that under the state law providing a sixth class city can contain only one school district, the parts of other districts taken in by the Orangethorpe incorporation would become a part of the Orangethorpe school district. He also issued the THREE LAMP GLOBES BROKEN FROM RAIN Three lamp post globes on East Center-st just west of Philadelphia were broken during the rain this morning when an auto skidded and struck the lamp post. The name of the driver of the car was not reported to the police station, Frank Steadman, city marshal, stated. GOLDEN STATE BANK P. O. BOX RIFLED The box of the Golden State National bank at the postoffice is that to have been rifled some time between Saturday and Sunday evenings and the contents, consisting of several letters with checks, gone thru. Discarded near the Pressel blacksmith shop on Clementine-st, they were found crammed into one large envelope by Joseph Bennercheldt. The contents of two of the letters were gone and since it is not known who they were from, it is not known what was taken. Three checks, for $6, $48.17 and $109.87 respectively were taken, but payment has been stopped on these since it is known where they were from. Other checks that were useless to anyone but the bank were still in the envelopes which had been broken open. No clue, has been obtained, but certain suspects are being watched. Sleeper pointed out that the Orangethorpe city limits took in about 160 acres of the Loara district, about one-fifth or 700 acres of the Magnolia district, about 200 acres of Centralia district and about 80 acres from Buena Park district. District Attorney Nelson issued an opinion that under the state law providing a sixth class city can contain only one school district, the parts of other districts taken in by the Orangethorpe incorporation would become a part of the Orangethorpe school district. He also issued the opinion that a small piece of the old Orangethorpe school district on the east end to the state highway and another small piece next to Anaheim district, which were not included in the incorporation, will still remain a part of the Orangethorpe school district. So Orangethorpe school district loses nothing and gains considerably by the incorporation proceedings. Nelson is firing a written copy of his opinion to Atty.-Gen. U. S. Webb for confirmation of his opinion, pending which the supervisors will withhold instructions from the county assessor. MRS. PEETE WILL ASSUME NEW STAND LOS ANGELES, Jan .18. — Mrs. Louise Peete will admit she was in the home of Jacob C. Deffron, 675 Catalina-st, on the night set by the prosecution as the time he was murdered, Public Defender W. T. Aggel, who will represent her at her trial starting tomorrow, revealed today. Aggel announced positively that no attempt will be made by the defense to establish an alibi by claiming Mrs. Peete was not at the Denton house at the hour named by the district attorney as the time of the slaying. Much importance was attached to Aggel's announcement in view of the fact that it means Mrs. Peete will admit that if Denton was murdered in the Catalina-st house on the date set by the prosecution she was there at the time. She will contend, however, she neither committed the crime nor knew of it. The prosecution and defense both whipped their cases into shape today for the start of the trial in Superior Judge Willis' courtroom tomorrow.

COX SITS TIGHT AS BEBE'S CASE NEARS Justice of the Peace Cox is sitting tight today in anticipation of the appearance in his court Wednesday morning of Bebe Daniels or her attorney. The justice announced that he had no intimation of what the film star's plea would be or whether she would appear in person. "It is all a matter of conjecture," he said. "One man's guess is as good as another's. My decision in the matter will, of course, come after the hearing. I am making no predictions one way or the other." The fair Bebe was arrested Jan. 10 by County Motorcycle Officer Veron Meyers on the state highway south of Santa Ana. According to Meyers, she was doing better than POWER LINE BREAKS AND IMPERILS LIVES The lives of a number of people were endangered, the So. Cal Edison Co. suffered financial loss approximating $2000 at its local sub-station and patrons on certain circuits of the system were inconvenienced when one of the high power lines on W. Sixth-st., in Santa Ana, of the P. E. Co. broke and dropped across the wires of the Edison Co. Three transformers and an amperemeter were put out of commission at the sub-station. Electric lamps at the county jail, Yost's theatre and in other places in Santa Ana were burned out. Practically all circuits in the business section were out for a half hour following the breaking of the wire and again for the same period in the afternoon. Moving picture theatres at which matinees were being held were affected by interruption in the afternoon service. So far as could be learned today at no place on the circuits affected did a blaze develop. The danger to life came with the possibility of some patron of the lines charged with the high voltage of the railway wires touching a light or wire. ANAHEIM MEN FORM NEW OIL COMPANY Articles of incorporation of the Callowa Oil Co., with the principal place of business given as Anaheim, were on file in the county clerk's office today.

Try a Plain Dealer Want Ad morning of Bebe Daniels or her attorney. The justice announced that he had no intimation of what the film star's plea would be or whether she would appear in person. "It is all a matter of conjecture," he said. "One man's guess is as good as another's. My decision in the matter will, of course, come after the hearing. I am making no predictions one way or the other." The fair Bebe was arrested Jan. 10 by County Motorcycle Officer Vernon Meyers on the state highway south of Santa Ana. According to Meyers, she was doing better than 50 miles per hour. While Justice Cox has been called upon several times to mete out punishment for male offenders he has not had to deal with a woman charged with driving at a speed in excess of 50 miles per hour. Whether or not Miss Daniels' ability to "vamp" members of the sterner sex will figure in the event she appears before Justice Cox is still a feature of the conversation in Santa Ana in regard to her case. Miss Daniels in an interview given to a Los Angeles paper expressed fear of offending the justice if she attempted to "vamp" him. So that angle of her case is considered a matter of her own discretion.
