XXIV—No. 192 STANDARD LEADER Protest Placentia's FREE LIBRARY PLAN WILL BE ADOPTED BY COUNTY BOARD Supervisors, After Executive Session Today, Withdraw Motion That Started FireWorks. Advocates of the county free library plan, principally women as represented thru the P.-T. A., were counted victors today before county supervisors. After an executive session, the supervisors announced today they had withdrawn their resolution calling for a hearing of advocates to show why the county should proceed with the plan. This makes the status of the plan just where it was before, that is, nothing further barring the plan will go into effect Sept. 13. The decision came after the board had taken the matter under advice following a prolonged hearing last week. While convincing arguments were put forth at the hearing both by the sponsors of the library and by the supervisors, there were no heated discussions. Chairman Talbert announced in the beginning that the board was ready and willing to lis- Ranchers and Oilmen Before Supervisors A storm of protest in the form of counter-petitions greeted the filing by Atty. Thos. L. McFadden of a petition with county supervisors seeking the incorporation of Placentia. McFadden's petition contained 82 signatures, mostly businessmen and residents of the town of Placentia proper. In addition to the petition signed by a large number of ranchers of the vicinity of Placentia, there were also petitions filed by attorneys representing the Standard, Union, General Petroleum and Petroleum Midway oil companies. Altho there were large delegations of protestants present, none addressed the supervisors who fixed the date of hearing on the various petitions Tuesday, April 12. The protesting petitions stated agricultural, horticultural and oil interests were opposed to incorporation because water, sewer and other improvements sought thru the move could not be extended to them. Roberts Theatre Chief Anaheim Visitor Today Everything from Jazz To Opera by Glee Club Everything from jazz to grand opera will be heard at the H. S. Auditorium next Friday night. U. S. C. men's glee club gives one of their unique programs. There will be 20 singers in the chorus. Don't be late for the first number in The famous soldier's chorus from "Faust." You can't afford to miss that, can you? Do you like good old darky songs? "De Coppah Moon" is just what you will enjoy. There is a quartet that does some extra fine work, for good measure, and we guarantee "Profoundo Basso Hardin" to drop you to low C sharp. You would prefer something comic? We have it for you. Just come and see the farce the boys put on in the middle of the program. It is a scream. And then there is a cornetist who puts Sousa in the shade. You want to come and bring all the children to see "Maxwell the Mystic." They will remember it as long as they live. Of course you can bring them all because we are only charging 35 cents for the finest reserved seat in the auditorium. If that is too steep, bring a quarter, and even then you can enjoy the whole program just as well as your "reserved" neighbor. Be a booster and talk "U. S. C. Glee Club concert!" so we can show the boys what a live Anaheim catches to show why the county should proceed with the plan. This makes the status of the plan just where it was before, that is, nothing further barring the plan will go into effect Sept. 13. The decision came after the board had taken the matter under advice following a prolonged hearing last week. While convincing arguments were put forth at the hearing both by the sponsors of the library and by the supervisors, there were no heated discussions-Chairman Talbert announced in the beginning that the board was ready and willing to listen to reason and that it desired to be fair and just in making its final decision. Talbert explained that about 90 per cent of the people claim to be overburdened with taxes and that that was the principal reason why the board desired to reconsider the matter. "It is just a matter of a few minutes for most of the people to reach a city library; we have fairly good roads, and most of the country folk have autos," he said. Supervisor Edwards said that nine out of ten people in his district were against the library because of the additional tax burden and Supervisor Wasum declared that the people in the vicinity of San Juan Capitán and other points in his district had never said anything to him abou a library.- He said that they apparently assumed an attitude of in difference and because of this he concluded that a county free library was not essential. Roberts Theatre Chief Anaheim Visitor Today Clint Pedrick, considered one of the most successful showmen in SoCal, and who will be manager for Gore Bros and Sol Lesser, Los Angeles-theatrical magnates, of the new Roberts theatre here, was in Anaheim today.

ANSWER GERMANY'S INVASION PROTEST PARIS, March 15.-The reparations commission today drafted a note to Germany, declaring that the allied military and economic penalties were legally justified under the treaty of Versailles because Germany had not paid the amount of money pledged under that covenant.

The speaker was Dr. John Collins, president of the John Brown College at Siloam Springs, Arkansas, who talked on the advantages of vocational education. He stated that it is a great mistake on the part of school systems of the country to neglect this branch of work as they have done or are doing. The John Brown college is turning out scores of young men and young women trained in special trades and fitted to make a livelihood for themselves. Education as taught by the public schools now is not of immediate practical value in making a livelihood unless vocational work is taken up. It has to be supplemented. John Brown College was started by John Brown who grew up a poor boy and unlearned in the mountains of Arkansas until he was 18, when he was seized by ambition to "be something" and got his own education, then started this school that other boys might not have to confront the same difficulties he did. He is one of the best known evangelists in the United States. There was a short business session during which was read the letter from President Harding in response to the congratulations sent him on the event of his inauguration, and also a communication from Leslie B. Henry stating that he now has the charter for the Anaheim Chapter of the Kiwanis Club and will make the presentation at a date to be set by the committee. The entertainment committee is making arrangements for a big dinner at the time of the presentation at which the members will invite the ladies and their friends. Plates are expected to be set for about 200. The date has not been decided. William T. Wallop was elected secretary pro tem to succeed Earl Faris who is leaving Saturday for a trip to Denver, Colo. Mr. Wallop was also chosen to take the place of J. Lloyd Moore who has moved to Long Beach, on the board of directors. E. H. Ahlswede acted as chairman in his usual pleasing manner and also won the attendance prize which was given by Ernest Zitzmann. Rain Means Millions To Orange-co Farmers The average seasonal rainfall for Orange-co for 43 years, as reported by the government observer at Tustin, is 13.22 inches, so that Anaheim with seasonal total of 11.08, may yet have a normal fall. Beet and grain farming may be benefitted much from the heavy week end rains, with all classes of lands sharing in a general way. Bean lands which will soon be ready for seeding, will be helped. Two or three inches of rain at this This girl's mother is as good as anyone who ever gave birth to any lawyer in this case." It seemed as the everyone in the court clapped and shouted approval of his answer. A near riot resulted and the judge ordered the court cleared. Mrs. Jake Hamon, at the mention of the word "mother" broke down and was led out by her son, Jake Jr. Clara Hamon burst into tears and was led out by Jimmy, her brother. Women sobbed as they left the room. Sheriff "Buck" Garrett shouted to his aides to beware of "six-shooters." "Look out for trouble, boys!" he yelled above the uproar. Mrs. Harding Supports Chinese Famine Fund Mrs. Warren G. Harding, first lady of the land, has enrolled herself as a supporter of the movement among American housewives to aid the Chinese famine victims, and appeals to other women of America to enlist in "this noble cause." The American housewives movement advocates that some article of diet should be eliminated from American dinner tables and the money so saved devoted to the relief of the starving in China. In her letter enlisting in the American housewives' movement, addressed to the American Committee for China Famine Fund, Mrs. Harding writes: "Information which has come to me concerning famine conditions in stricken China, and also concerning the splendid work your committee is doing for relief of these conditions, moves me to enroll myself among your supporters. I am sure your appeal to American housewives to save in order to help China's unfortunate millions, will meet a generous response. We all learned during the war how great a part the patriotic womanhood of the land could play in these intensely practical necessary affairs. I hope and trust they will now enlist again for this noble cause." RODENT CONTROL TO BE DEMONSTRATED Rodent control demonstrations as planned for this week will be held rain or shine, it was announced at the Farm Bureau office today.

AUTOMOBILE CRASH DAMAGE SUIT TRIAL Trial of a suit brought by P. L. Madrid against J. C. Bell to collect $1312.20 damages alleged due as the To Orange-co Farmers The average seasonal rainfall for Orange-co for 43 years, as reported by the government observer at Tustin, is 13.22 inches, so that Anaheim with seasonal total of 11.08, may yet have a normal fall. Beet and grain farming may be benefitted much from the heavy week end rains, with all classes of lands sharing in a general way. Bean lands which will soon be ready for seeding, will be helped. Two or three inches of rain at this time means millions of dollars to the farming interests of Orange-co. Beets are growing nicely and this rain will stimulate their growth and development.

With the river running bankful, the water levels in irrigation wells will be raised. Before the rain, the levels in this district were the lowest in history, according to Bert Kuebler, pump man, who is just now lowering the pit 25 feet for the M. E. Wallace 14-inch pumping plant. Charles Eygabroad, owner of a number of ranches, states that the heavy precipitation in the upper valley and mountains would make itself felt here in increased water level for months.
