Harding Name of New Orange-co Community
Orange-co is to enjoy the distinction of having the first town in California to be named Harding, after the president of the U. S., which is entirely fitting since the president's sister is a resident of the county.
The name is to be applied to the community in the vicinity of Buena Park and Anaheim-blvd, where the Petroleum Midway is drilling a test oil well and which is expected to develop shortly into considerable of a town.
In reply to the assertions in a letter by Lawrie yesterday that Mexicans were delinquent for water served in May and that he had not received one cent for June, Mrs. Morri today displayed a receipt made out to her for the month of June for the amount of $3 and a number of receipts for May made out to Mexicans.
A representative of the railroad commission was expected in Anaheim this afternoon.
Lawrie maintains that he is not worried by any complaint to the railroad commission; that he is not under its supervision.

Orange-co is to enjoy the distinction of having the first town in California to be named Harding, after the president of the U.S., which is entirely fitting since the president's sister is a resident of the county.
The name is to be applied to the community in the vicinity of Buena Park and Anaheim-blvd, where the Petroleum Midway is drilling a test oil well and which is expected to develop shortly into considerable of a town.
It had first been planned to call it Lincoln but it was found there was another postoffice in Calif. by that name. As it was desired to get a name which would not have to be changed when a postoffice was obtained, the residents of the community decided upon Harding, declared H. Misenheimer, proprietor of the oil station at that corner.
The Petroleum Midway test well was at 1750 feet today and drilling ahead in the same hard formation of brown shale and boulders as encountered last week. Drilling has been delayed somewhat the last couple of days by a "rainbow twist" in the drill pipe.

LESSONS IN CITIZENSHIP
No. 1.
It may appear like the vaporizing of a dreamer to say that cities must set about the development of citizens with vision; must create fine community ideals; must raise the standards of citizenship, even though other matters are neglected; but it is these intangible things that have made cities great all the way down through history. It is not mere numbers that count.
The great cities of history—Athens, Rome, Venice, Florence—do not owe their fame to the number of their inhabitants. Athens' population at the height of her power and glory was never more than 20,000 freemen who held 180,000 slaves. Rome's greatest population was about 750,000. Venice was the home of about 120,000 souls at the pinnacle of her glory when she controlled the east-west trade of the world. Florence had about 110,000 people when her bankers were financing the wars of Europe.
There are scores of American cities with sufficient population to do the work of ancient Athens, Florence, Venice. But these American cities lack the spirit—the intangible force to drive ahead on right lines.
It is this organization of spiritual forces for human advance that the Chamber of Commerce is called upon to promote. Surely it is worth while. Such work is immortal and the man who engages in it will find that his thots and his actions will be guiding other men long after he has passed to the great beyond. The survival value of his public efforts will be projected into the lives of generations yet unborn.
Compare this to the routine servitude of selfish endeavor and choose between.

SCHEME TO REVIVE TWO HANGED MEN
CHICAGO, June 24.—A plot to cheat the gallows by employing the latest devices and discoveries of modern science to resurrect and bring back to life two executed murderers, was frustrated here today.
As related by Jailer Lawrence Meisterhelm, the scheme outdoes the flights of fiction and opens a new avenue for criminal escape which will have to be guarded at all future executions, unless the methods of inflicting the death penalty are changed in those states which still adhere to hanging as a means of capital punishment.
Oscar McGavik and Grover Redd were hanged "by the neck until they were dead" in the prison here today.
By order of the jailor their bodies were then kept in custody of the law for two additional hours, to make resurrection impossible.
For Jailor Meisterhelm declares that he had discovered a plot to rush the bodies of the hanged men from the scene of the execution to a nearby undertaking establishment, where arrangements had been made to wrap them in hot blankets, apply pulmotors and use electrical energy in restoring them to life.
Meisterhelm stated that he had definite information that the gallows was almost cheated last December, when a spark of life was restored to Nick Bianca, who was hanged.
STEWART stated that when he got several hundred acres signed up he would turn it over to a reputable oil company for drilling.
Councilmen heatlated to accept the proposition since it might interfere with selling the property should be desirable.
Councilman Backs stated the property was large enough to lease outright.
Mayor Stark announced receipt of a letter from the C. of C. stating directors of that organization had volunteered unanimously to assist in any way possible in the $160,000 C. OF C. GOAL AND MEMBER
That Anaheim needs a C. of C. with at least 350 members and a minimum service fund of $12,000 was the unanimous opinion expressed by the members of the campaign committee in attendance at the meeting in the I. O. O. F. hall at noon today. With a large majority of the committee of 49 present and participating in the discussion, there were no disclosures regarding the necessary goal as stated above.
Chairman McCord called the meeting to order and outlined the objects of the expansion campaign now under way. "This campaign," said Mr. McCord, "marks the beginning of an important epoch in the history Anaheim. You men have been called together to consider the things that shall be done. The responsibility is ours. We must decide the ultimate object, or goal, of this campaign." "So much good work has been done by the organization on the limited funds that have been supplied it, so much lays ahead of us, that we must now decide whether we will go ahead with the progressive cities of So. Calif., or whether we will continue to handicap the organization that is serving us so well."
In explaining the situation Ben H. Schouboe, (pronounced SHO-by) campaign manager for the American City Bureau, said: "Several months ago the directors decided the expand Anaheim C. of C. They called upon the American City Bureau to explain their system of organization and management and agreed to engage our services for the work. We (Continued on Page Six)

WEALTHY L. A. MAN UNDER INDICTMENT
LOS ANGELES, June 24. Alleged to have obtained $300,000 under false pretenses while secretary and treasurer of a large manufacturing concern in Taylorville, Ky., W. R. L. Johnson, 55, wealthy relled business man, was arrested today at his palatial home at 317 S. Kingsley dr., and lodged in the city jail as a fugitive from justice.
Johnson and four other men were indicted by the Spencer-co grand jury in March on four counts. Three of the charges were of obtaining money under false pretenses and the fourth charge was of criminal conspiracy under the statutes of Kentucky.

According to Sheriff Thomas and Judge Cheatham Johnson is alleged to have sold stock in the company for $20 a share. Of this money he is alleged to have put $2.50 in the treasury, pocketing the balance of $17.50.
