FLAG DAY SHOULD COME EVERY DAY America has many "days" — a "day" for that, until a great many fall into the notion that merely to observe a "day" fulfills all obligations as to that particular cause or principle, or what it is the "day" commemorates. This is not as it should be: "Flag Day" is not commemorative of an event which properly can be dismissed with one day's observance. Every day should be "Flag Day." Every day, in some form, the Flag should be honored. Not necessarily by elaborate ceremonies; not necessarily by any ceremony at all. But in some way and manner, each and every good American may and should show honor and respect for the Flag daily. The Flag is respected by living as a good citizen should live. The Flag is honored by living in loyalty, at all times, to America, its government, institutions and ideals. Every day is Flag day to the citizen who does his full duty by his country and his fellow-man; who lives honestly in the sight of all men; who deals justly; who manifests devotion to the Flag in all that he does and says. As an outward showing of respect, the Flag should be displayed frequently from business houses and from dwellings. If the Red, White and Blue are your colors, put them on display and be identified with them. MAKE STANDING ARMY OF SUFFICIENT SIZE The difference between army size advocates in Congress seems to be only about 20,000 men. The small army contingent is insisting that the strength of the regular establishment shall not go beyond 150,000 men. But Secretary of War Weeks and those in congress who believe as he does, hold that the army minimum should be 170,000 men. The thought occurs that 20,000 men, more or less, would not constitute reversion to militarism. If 20,000 more than 150,000 are needed, as Secretary Weeks and others contend so vigorously, why not grant the additional 20,000? The heavens will not fall, whatever the size of the American Army—whether it be 150,000 or 170,000. STUPIDITY IN GUARDING BANDIT GARDNER That Roy Gardner, the desperate mail robber, should be able to make his escape from guards for the second time surely denotes a degree of stupidity among those who guard prisoners that is rather startling. Gardner's desperate cunning was well known to the authorities. And yet, in face of all that was known, the men, detailed to conduct Fardner and Pyron, another desperate character, to prison, showed such lack of judgment that the two prisoners had little difficulty in escaping, and in getting away at the time in the spot that most would favor their plans to outwit the law. It brings the law and legal processes into disrepute, as to efficiency, when cunning criminals, even the apparently hopeless handicapped, can make farcical play of officers of the law. Some of the cunning of criminals should be borrowed by the officers and used in dealing with the desperadoes. WOMEN ARE SEEKING BIG POLITICAL POWER Republican women want full voting representation on the party's national committee. They want the size of the committee doubled numerically, and they want, as many women as men on the enlarged committee. They probably will get what they seek. Democratic women have won this recognition—why not Republican women? Who shall say that women should not have this despensation of political power? They have been enfranchised. They vote alongside men. Those who officially count the ballots cannot tell which vote was cast by a man or which by a woman. In all the functioning at the ballot box the woman stands upon the same plane as the man. She is his equal there in everything. Why should she ot; therefore, have that distribution and equalization of political power which is just and equitable, as between the sexes? Among those who say that Mr. Edison's questionnaire is silly and unreasonable are those who can answer only a small percentage of its questions. Those who can answer the first two games series. So while Fullerton beat us in the league we won from Orange practice games. SENIOR CLASS PLAY TICKETS FOR SALE The Senior play is progressing steadily. It will be presented June 21st. The tickets are on sale now. Every Senior has tickets. The story is "The Gypsy Trail," a very romantic comedy. It is the story of a young girl who is supposed to be in love with a certain young man. He is so perfect, so entirely conventional that she soon tires of him. He finally decides to try kidnapping her and see if she will think him more interesting. He goes about it in a very proper and conventional way. He has his grandmother to go with him to chaperone. A young newspaper reporter who has interviewed Frances' father, accidentally meets young Andrews and Andrews hires him to take Frances to his seashore home. This does, under false pretenses. Frances at first is very indignant with him, but little by little she grows to like him. He is so different, and so extraordinary that they fall in love with one another and he tries to get her to run off with him and be married. She begs him to take her home in order that they might tell her father. While she goes for her coat he disappears. Frances, heartbroken, passes many weary weeks until finally one evening the young would-be reporter, now under his real name, Michael Rudder, re-appears to claim her. She is too proud to have any thing to do with him, but he finally wins her over to him, and they become engaged. It ends happily for all except poor Ned. There are many good matches of comedy, brought in by an old aunt and the conventional lioness. CARRY LICENSE OR YOU WILL BE FINED If you drive an automobile or auto truck see that you have your operator's license with you. If you haven't got one you are "out of luck," as the saying goes. Beginning at 7 o'clock last evening Orange county traffic officers proposed to stop every automobile on the highway and find out whether the driver of the car or truck has a license. Dist. Atty A. P. Nelson held a conference with the officers today and decided on this plan as a means of enforcing a state law which has been more or less overlooked at different periods. Nelson stated today that most motorists are aware of the fact that they are required to have an operator's license. Many of those who do have them, he said, do not keep them in their possession. It is to see that they do that he has taken this step. The traffic officers do not propose to work on any particular highway. They declare they will cover the county as rapidly as possible. Every motorist who cannot show an operator's license will be given a tag and ordered into court. It is understood that the fine will be $2 for the first offense. THREE GREAT STATES REUNION Three of the great state plenies will be held in the Sycamore Grove Park, Los Angeles, Saturday, June 18th. These are Massachusetts with an afternoon reunion and basket supper at 5 o'clock, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, all day with basket dinners. NEW RATES The reduction in the S.

R. Youngman, coach at the Anaheim high school. "For while we did not win any Orange-co championship, we have been strong contenders throughout the year. Taking the different sports in their order, we must admit that our football team showed wonderful offensive and defensive power. The boys all had that one necessary requirement, 'grit,' and therein lies the secret of their success. Handcapped by the lack of experience in handling the ball, it was necessary to use an air attack only as a bluff and rely on straight football for ground gaining. This style of play will win against teams of equal weight, but the stain is too great for the same eleven men to go up against teams of from 10 to 15 more pounds weight. This was proved in the Fullerton game this year when our team played Fullerton to a standstill in the first and third quarters and only were scored against in the 2nd and 4th. "Our basketball team never got off on the right foot, and while they always scored, it seemed a certainty that they would be on the short end each time. We hope our luck will be different another year, and that we can at least win a majority of our games. "In track with three letter men and a good bunch of other aspirants out we turned out a winning team only to lose throgh hard luck. Cook was out of track all season, and Clayes was never able to do his best. True, we lose Shoebridge, Tanner, Wilmsen and Chandler from this year's team, but I think we will have a winner in Orange-co next year, and don't forget that the Orange-co track meet will be held in Anaheim next year. "Our baseball team looked as if it was due for the cellar position up to spring vacation, when they hit their stride and won five straight games and tied with Fullerton for the Orange-co championship, only to lose the first two games in the play-off series. So while Fullerton and Santa-Ana beat us in the league football games, we won from Orange and half our practice games. In basketball, we..." Our baseball team looked as if it was due for the cellar position up to spring vacation, when they hit their stride and won five straight games and tied with Fullerton for the Orange-co championship, only to lose the first two games in the play-off series. So while Fullerton and Santa Ana beat us in the league football games, we won from Orange and half our practice games. In basketball, we won only two games, one from Papis-trano and one from Covina. Our track队 won from Orange and came out second in a triangular meet with Redlands and Fullerton. Allen, of Redlands, winning the mea; finished four points behind Santa Ana in the county meet, won first place in the pole vault at the all-southern and first at the state meet, where Shoebridge made a new state record of 12 feet. Our baseball team defeated every team in the county but Fullerton and won our return games with Norwalk and Whittier. In all we had a very successful season all around. Next year should be even more successful than this, for in football we will have lots of speed in the back field and just as strong a line. Our end positions will be weak, but we expect lots from last year's subs and skeeters. Everybody turn out on the first day for practice and Anaheim will come thru with the championship. After the showing of our Juniors and Sophomores made against Orange the other evening it looks as if we have the nucleus for the championship track team next season. As a whole, we expect Anaheim to come thru with flying colors in 1921-22. Everyone get in and back your team from the start. Come out and do your best for the good of the team. Even though you do not win your letter do your part to put Anaheim High in front and you will put yourself in line for the first team the next year. Everybody back our A. U. High throughout 1921-22. COACHING SCHOOL WILL OPEN MONDAY Miss Aubrey Patterson and Mrs. Ida B. Clark will open a summer school at the Citron school building Monday morning which will continue until July 29, or six weeks. It will be a coaching school for those who flunked" in the present term of school, or for those who were exceptionally bright and may thereby gain another half year by attending it. County examinations will be held and diplomas granted to the high school for those who make the grades. The tuition for the term will be $25.

The Village Gossip His faded service coat decorated with ribbons showing his participation in the Philippine campaign and the Battle of Manila Bay, pinned above the bronze medal bearing his name as bugler on the "Olympia," flagship of Dewey's fleet, August Bendix with his "one man band" made his appearance on the streets of Anahaim yesterday. Bendix makes his home in Vallejo, where he lives simply on the pension of $12 a month which was granted him as a crippled veteran of the Spanish-American war. But sometimes the $12 fails to stretch over all the needs of his life and then he takes his bugle, which is also a veteran of the war, and with a quaint little wagon of his own contriving laden with a music box, a drum and a pair of cymbals, starts on the quest of more funds. His little concerts on the street corners drew appreciative crowds. Try Plain Dealer Want Ads. MANY PATRONS SEE LOCAL EXCHANGE "Give me Frisco." "What number do you wish there?" "I say I want Frisco." "Yes sir, but what number, or can you give me the name of the party you are calling?" "I don't know the number; his name is—just a minute—I have his name on a card; well now don't that beat all. I have misplaced the card. Anyway he has a brother in Watts—maybe you can get the number from him." Just one of the funny calls placed with central, then we wonder how the hello-girls can be so courtcous. A stream of patrons took advantage of visitor's day at the telephone exchange yesterday and were ushered thru the different departments by Manager E. A. Beard and others connected with the exchange. The operation of the plant was explained in detail and all expressed themselves as having learned more of the conditions. One patron said as he was leaving; "I won't kick anymore if I don't get a number—it's not always central's fault." Another said: "Did you say those were wet batterles?" "Yes, sir." "Say, how do you get by with that? This is a dry town." Mr. Sampson, the wire chief, explained that the batteries got their "kick" from the dynamo. Another visitors' day will be announced later at which time others will be given a chance to see a modern exchange in operation.
