Witman, Eyesight Specialist HOW YOU CAN HELP ANAHEIM No city becomes great and reaches the full development in a commercial manner without the identification of its people, both city and suburban residents. Loyalty to Anaheim in the "buy in Anaheim" campaign selfish or mercenary presentation to the minds of the territory; neither is loyalty from a sentimental point to be considered in this campaign. The basic truster is loyality to one's pocketbook. While real estate is the basis of all wealth—real estate represents much wealth unless there is a live, wild merCIAL center. The characteristics of a particular sector in the hub center of that section. Commercial credit by the people spending their wealth in that center. A certain section develops into a metropolis so does the in that city and the farm and ranch property enhancement. The worst fight smaller cities have to combat in the development is when the city is located on the fringes of a large metropolis. It is this fight that Dealer and business men of Anaheim are waging now. Applications are good to and from Los Angeles; Los Angeles endeavoring to "cop" the cream of the Northern trade. Without thinking, people are falling for the plunge wealth in Los Angeles. The stages that ply between Los Angeles; those owning automobiles going back to bank clearances prove that thousands and thousands going every week to Los Angeles, while they should stay Orange-co, further to enrich this territory instead of it. Without business institutions, Anaheim would be an wide place on the highway; property values would schools would be rural schools. Increase the business and the opposite results. So you catch the point of this campaign—loyalty to books?

Gardner announces Dr. Main is open for a luncheon address on educational lines in Anaheim Wednesday noon if arrangements can be made. It was considered possible today that the Kiwanis club would take advantage of the opportunity to hear Dr. Main by postponing its luncheon from Tuesday to Wednesday. Boston Bakery Seeks New, Larger Quarters Mr. Floyd Potter, recently of Bakers Bakery, Santa Ana, has been added to the force of the Boston Bakery and will specialize on cakes and pastries. The Boston Bakery has grown to such an extent that they find their present quarters entirely too small and Mr. Elicholtz, the proprietor, says that he is now looking forward to securing a larger building in which to conduct his business. Offers have already been made to build him an up-to-date bakery and sales rooms. It is probable that in the near future they will be found in new quarters adequate to serve the people of Anaheim.

PETITIONED TO RETAIN MOTOR CAR ON ANAHEIM LINE Report Gas Car Will Be Taken Off Branch Line to Los Angeles Feb. 27th. As a sequel to the recent holocaust on a gas motor passenger car, the S.P. will drop all passenger service between Los Angeles and Anaheim, it was reported by trainmen and passengers today. Fred Willard, local S.P. agent, said he had received no orders on the matter as yet. According to commuters, not even have been posted in the Los Angeles depot to the effect that the motor car will be taken off Feb. 27. As a result, a large number of people who work in Los Angeles and reside in Anaheim, Buena Park, Norwalk and other points on the S.P. and have been commuting will be creatively inconvenienced while such points as Buena Park will be greatly inconveniented for mail and package delivery. The passenger franchise of the S.P. requires one passenger train each.

Gardner announces Dr. Main is open for a luncheon address on educational lines in Anaheim Wednesday noon if arrangements can be made. It was considered possible today that the Kiwanis club would take advantage of the opportunity to hear Dr. Main by postponing its luncheon from Tuesday to Wednesday. Dr. Main is recognized as one of the leading educators of the nation. Grinnell is the largest college in the United States, that is, the enrollment is the largest of any college (not a university.) Dr. Main served on the commission to investigate conditions in the Near East. He is on the coast to visit Grinnell alumna and to fill engagements as one of the principal speakers at the Illinois and Iowa picnics. Late this afternoon, in the absence of Pres. H. M.

FRUIT SHIPMENT TO ENGLAND SUCCESS RIVERSIDE, Feb. 18—California fruit is arriving in Southampton, England, by refrigerator vessels by way of the Panama canal, and there is a ready market for the products, according to the Southampton Times, of November 27, a copy of which was received here. The steamship Ecm迪ijk landed on November 25 with a cargo of 31,025 packages of apples, 480 drums of grapes and 942 half boxes of pears. The fruit, according to the Times, arrived in splendid condition, and there was a great demand for the California products. The fact that the fruit arrived in sound condition with little loss is evidence that the growers of California are on the right track when they start considering the matter of shipping oranges to New York and other eastern ports by refrigerator vessels. Until this vessel reached Southampton with its cargo of fruit, California had always shipped by rail to New York and by boat to European ports. Simons (Southampton) Ltd., was firm who took chances with the experiment and R. S. Jacobs, a member of the firm, has this to say of the venture: "The cargo was excellently stowed. Laths were laid between each tier to allow ventilation, and the whole cargo was insulated." When specimen cases were broached the fruit was found appearing as fresh as if it had just been picked. "We were confident our calculations were right, but that didn't prevent us from being anxious to know what the ship had done for us. When we got in the holds on Thursday morning we were absolutely astonished. It is the most wonderful fruit cargo I have ever seen landed in any port of the United Kingdom." MRS. BIRDIE A. SCOTT SUCCUMBS THURSDAY Mrs. Birdie A. Scott, 44, wife of H. E. Scott, well known real man of Anaheim, died at 2:45 yesterday at the county hospital from cancer with which she had been suffering for some time. Funeral services will be held at Todd & Patterson's chapel, Pomona, at 2 p.m. Saturday. Interment will be in Ponoma cemetery. Pallbearers will be from Theo-man drill team of Anaheim. Beside her husband, she is survived by a son, Fred; and daughter, Mrs. Viola Kirby, of No.Janes-st.Anaheim. She was born at Arrowhead Hot Springs, San Bernardino, Nov. 10, 1876. DISCUSS RODENT CONTROL As a result, a large number of people who work in Los Angeles and reside in Anaheim, Buena Park, Norwalk and other points on the S.P. and have been commuting will be greatly inconvenienced while such points as Buena Park will be greatly inconvenienced for mail and package delivery. The passenger franchise of the S.P. requires one passenger train each way over the line daily, it was stated today. This might be retained by hooking a passenger coach onto a freight, it was said. Another problem that would be presented would be the accommodation of the heavy overland traffic originating or terminating at Anaheim and other points on the branch. The ticket office could be retained in Anaheim for transcontinental passenger traffic, but the question of delivery of baggage to and from overland trains in Los Angeles would be a problem. Petitions were being circulated today in Anaheim, Buena Park and other points requesting the S.P. officials to reconsider their move. JURY HANGS 6 TO 6 CHIROPRACTIC SUIT The suit against Dr. A.C.Foy charged with practicing without a permit from the state medical board went to the jury, composed of six men and six women, in superior court at Santa Ana at 3 p.m., yesterday at 10:15 p.m.the jury was still hung six to six and the court released the jury and set the case for retrial Feb. 23. The state introduced two witnesses while the defense used none.The medical board was represented by Prosecutor Costello while the defense was represented by Attorney Griffey Jones.of Los Angeles. The defense made the point that a chiropractor did not come under jurisdiction of the state medical board any more than a masseur or a barber giving a facial massage. Dr.Foy stated today that there had been three acquittals and two hung juries in prosecution of Los Angeles chiropractors within ten days as a result of which Prosecutor Wilson for the medical board had resigned.The medical board receives a part of any fines assessed.

Yungbluth appeared before the union meeting of C. of C. and Merchants Assn. directors today and urged the organizations get behind the Mother Colony club. At the time the club relinquished its hold on the fourth floor of the Valencia Hotel-bldg it had been planned to move into the third floor to be added to the Kroeger-bldg by the new purchasers, Bever and Wilson. Since that time, however, there has been a lack of interest by the board of governors of the Mother Colony club and unless there is a revival of pop there will be no Mother Colony club. Dr. H. A. Johnston stated that a city of Anaheim's size should have such a club where business and professional men may gather informally and where guests may be taken. This seemed to be the consensus of opinion but no action was taken. REVIVAL AT SALEM GAINS MOMENTUM The revival meeting being held at Salem Evangelical church is gathering momentus each evening. Rev.

Anaheim permits for the last week REVIVAL AT SALEM GAINS MOMENTUM The revival meeting being held at Salem Evangelical church is gathering momentus each evening. Rev. Weatherwax will speak this evening on "The Test By Fire." Last evening the sermon was searching and earmarking challenging bolts of truth on practical Christian living. He declared: "Christianity consists not only in praying, going to church and paying. Christianity makes you clean and manly in business, pure and honorable in social life, and gives you a clean prospective in all life that satisfies, because you have the secret solution of all your life problems. The man who strikes rock foundation in the Christian experience can laugh at the Devil and pass up his inducements; for he has quit his majestic company. "When some of you folks quit locking arms with the world you will see Jesus, feel the touched of His pierced hand and hear his voice. But you must travel with the company, in which He walks if you would know His eternal power to save from sin and keep you free. There is enough sin at work in this state to sink it below the ocean, if it were not for the Christian people. "Every man and every woman is helping to save or helping to damn not only themselves but the nation and the whole human race. The best patriot is he who tries to save himself and others. "Nehemiah gave five laws by which the nation was to be governed for national safety. First, the people were to be cleansed from unequal marriages. Where is a Nehemiah for California? Second, the gates to the city were to be kept closed on the Sabbath day. We need some restraint put on Sabbath desecration in this state, before the continental Sabbath of holiday and debauch has throttled the fine American spirit of reverence and worship of God and peaceful, quiet constructive rest day to all."
