OPENING OF COUNTY LIBRARY IS URGED Sept. 13 is the date tentatively set by supervisors for the formal opening of the proposed county library, which will be located in Santa Ana. The county library committee, with Mrs. Charles Harvey of Brea, as chairman, appeared before the supervisors yesterday and urged the board to take some definite action. Mrs. Harvey asked the board to fix July 5 as the date for putting the library into operation, but this could not done because of legal questions involved. T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board, informed Mrs. Harvey that the next tax levy would not be made until the first Tuesday in September and that the county could not contract the indebtedness until a library fund is created. Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson ruled that the library could be established any time after the next tax assessment is levied. He informed the committee, however, that the salary of the librarian could start from July 5, being paid out of the general county fund. Mrs. May D. Henshall of Sacramento, state organizer of libraries, gave her opinion on the issue. She told how Glenn-co had established a county library before the tax rate had been levied. The book companies she said, agreed to wait until after the assessments had been made before demanding payment for books furnished. The legality of this point, she said, was never questioned. Mrs. Henshall explained that any city or town may join the library district but that unless it does so on its own initiative it is automatically excluded, and consequently excluded in the matter of titration. county library before the tax rate had been levied.

District Attorney Nelson told the board and committee that he desired to look up certain legal phases of the proposition and that he would present his finding at the next regular meeting.

This Mrs. Davis agreed to do provided her husband would "try to make a man of himself." "I am going to suspend the pronouncing of sentence in your case for a period of seven years," said Judge West. "I want you to understand that this is your last chance. It is only for the sake of your children that I am granting you probation. I think they are entitled to that. And I hope they will never realize how close their father came to the penitentiary, if you escape it altogether." Beggar—Please give a poor blind man a dime. Dyer the Barber—Why, you're not blind. You can see out of one eye. Beggar—Well, then, give me a nickel. LAUNCH DRIVE FOR ANTI-NIPPON FUND With Anaheim C. of C. directors last night passing a resolution endorsing the activities of the Japanese Exclusion League of California and urging liberal contributions to the fund being raised, and various points in the county fairly well organized for the drive, J. N. Anderson today expressed the belief that Orange-co would quickly raise its quota of $2500 assigned as its share of the $200,000 fund being raised by the league in the state for combatting influence and propaganda of Japanese associations. The campaign for funds will start next Monday and will continue throughout the week. Anderson is Orange-co chairman. Anderson says that he is meeting with hearty cooperation in every community in the counties. "It is unfortunate that the idea seems to prevail with a portion of the modern press that the Japanese problem is solely between the Japanese and the people of California." declared Anderson today. "It just happens that local leaders and California generally, realize that unless the Japanese question receives now the careful and patriotic attention it deserves, it will inevitably become more serious and more difficult of solution. California is merely the first political unit to feel the impact of the yellow invasion from the East." "California's solution must be America's. The California allen land law, overwhelmingly carried at the last election, has resulted in renewed activity on the part of Japanese propagandists. They are now at work collecting a gigantic secret sum, which is to be matched with a like amount from mysterious sources, to influence legitimate leg-" ALL ARE COMING TO FIESTA and MID-WINTER MARDI GRAS ANAHEIM Saturday Evening Feb. 5th ELK BAND Big Doings Saturday Night MID-WINTER MARDI GRAS ANAHEIM Saturday Evening Feb. 5th BAND Big Doings Saturday Night And of course you will be in the crowd and WHO TURNS THE CONDITIONS OF TODAY TO HIS FUTURE ADVANTAGES It’s the man of far-sight and vision —YOUR BANKING CONNECTION IS ONE OF THE FIRST FUNDAMENTALS OF SUCCESS; IF YOU HAVE NO BANKING CONNECTION, WE OFFER YOU OUR SERVICE AND EQUIPMENT.
