"While citrus fruit is excepted from reduction in this announcement any such reduction as intimated is an acknowledgement that the rates are too high and citrus fruit must also be included," declared A. W. Reeves, chairman of the transportation committee of the C. of C. and formerly prominent in railway traffic affairs of the country. "The reductions as announced of course are on items most affected by water transportation which is cutting great inroads into the transcontinental railway freight business." This is closing day of the First California Valencia Orange Show! The above of the show; listening to President Harding over long-distance phone. Seated; in Swanson, Mrs. E. E. Remsberg, President Harding's sister, and C.C. Chapman the show. Just back of Mr. Chapman is Herman Stern, chairman of the Los Angeles Saturday Night. YOU ALWAYS SAVE TRADING IN ANAHEIM Funny things happen in the course of a business man's day; especially is this true in the experience of a "trade-away-from-home" customer who is frank about the matter when he gets stung. Which calls to mind an incident that happened with a local hardware man the other day. A customer went to the city—Los Angeles—and bought a $70 bill of goods. Incidentally he told about it and the local hardware man asked him to make a list of the articles bought, so that he could make him a price on what the customer would have had to pay in Anaheim, less the traveling expenses and the time lost in going and coming. The customer gave him a list, but not the prices paid. After the figures were given a comparison the customer learned he could have made the $70 Los Angeles purchase for $60 in Anaheim, less the time and expense of going to the city. "Mr. Dollar Day Dollar" is fast making the acquaintance of the Anaheim merchants and his "Dollar Day" plan is meeting with their unanimous approval. Every preparation being made to make "Dollar Day" long remembered as an event of greater bargains. Don't fail to read the ads in today's Plain Dealer, they will reveal to you an increased buying power for your dollar. Many interesting items will be included tomorrow. Lest you forget Dollar Day, Friday, May 27, while visiting the Holland Electric Co.'s "Mr. Dollar Day Dollar" was much interested in the electric washing machines and irons and the many other devices that have so greatly lightened the burden of the housewife. Hearing of the many bargains which are always offered at Sebastian Brothers, this store was the next to receive a call, stating that it was... PLAN RESIDENCE OF PRESBY. MINISTER The First Presbyterian Church hold a congregational meeting and supper at the church parliars last evening, and went over the plans for the new parsonage on the church property on East Broadway near Claudina-st. The parsonage, is it planned, will be a two story, 8-room structure, up to date in every way. Two thirds of the money has already been raised, and it is that the remainder will be easily obtained. Another congregational meeting has been called for a week from Sunday, when final results will be taken, and measures passed for obtaining a permanent pastor, Dr. J. A. Stevenson, of Santa Ana, was moderator. CHASES TIRE THIEF SUSPECT The proprietor of the Mission garage, whose shop was robbed of seven tires Monday night, had a merry chase this morning, when he saw a car going down the street with tires on the rear which looked to him like the ones he had lost. He failed to overtake the suspicious car. Reports that he had fired shots at it were stated to be untrue, since it is declared that he did not even have a gun. TWO MINOR ACCIDENTS B. J. Daniel's car was skidded into another car at the high school and one of the rear wheels broken. The auto of B. J. Lewis, of Zeyn-st., last evening hit a boy at the alley on Los Angeles at, near the C. of C. headquarters. The boy was only slightly injured.

Incidentally he told about it, and the local hardware man asked him to make a list of the articles bought, so that he could make him a price on what the customer would have had to pay in Anaheim, less the traveling expenses and the time lost in going and coming. The customer gave him a list, but not the prices paid. After the figures were given a comparison the customer learned he could have made the $70 Los Angeles purchase for $60 in Anaheim, less the time and expense of going to the city. Just a little moral: Anaheim has three first class hardware stores that handle household and builders hardware. You save money by pricing their goods first. Rev. Houser Addresses Anaheim Rotary Club The regular weekly luncheon of the Anaheim Rotary club was held at noon today at the Cherry Blossom café. The principal feature was an address by Rev. John T. Houser, partant of the First Christian church of Fullerton on "The principles and Benefits of Being a Rotarian." Mark Robbins, president of the Santa Ana Rotary club last year, and Earl Morrow Orange-co, manager of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co., were present today. Committees were appointed to further the cause of the boy scout movement. There were about 18 rotarians present. MRS. CATHERINE SHEA 82, SUCCUMBS TODAY Mrs. Catherine Shea, 82, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. M. J. Bradley, 806 S. Citron-st., at an early hour this morning.

"Mr. Dollar Day Dollar" was much interested in the electric washing machines and irons and the many other devices that have so greatly lightened the burden of the housewife. Hearing of the many bargains which are always offered at Sebastian Brothers, this store was the next to receive a call, stating that it was always gratifying for him to be in attendance at places where he was accepted at full face value. He entered Falkenstein's with a merry jingle. This large department store with its exclusive sections, excellent displays of merchandise and the many comforts provided for patrons received his approval. He said that from what he saw here he could readily understand why Anaheim was the trading center of No. Orange-co. Mr. Dollar found that the dress needs of men were not being neglected and remarked that Jackson's Clothing store offered a selection to delight any one of the masculine gender. Feeling the need of a little recreation, the Ideal Pool Room was next visited. Here he met J. H. Clark, an amusement man of Balboa. Mr. Dollar Day promised to visit that beach city after completing his act in Anaheim. GOOD PROSPECTS FOR OIL IN RIVERSIDE Riverside County. Flattering reports have come in from developers in the Riverside filed, and it begins to look as tho someone is going to open up a field. The Riverside Oil Co. struck a sand at 1138 that looked very poor. Pipe was set at 1235 but failed to get a shutoff. The well will be recommenced. The Benumont Midway Crude Oil Co. drilled 1300 feet of hole with an Okoll drilling outfit and at 1200 ft. struck a tar sand. A fishing job is now holding this well up. The Painted Hills Oil Co. drilling in the San Bernardino Mts. struck an asphaltum bed at 800 feet. This Paper Believes in the People and Desires Nothing Better Than Their Continued Confidence.
