This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Understanding That Its Circulation Equals Any Three Others in This Field. VOL. XXIV—NO. 285 DEMPSEY W 150 MEN AND WOMEN AT CIVIC BOOSTER BANQUET Great impetus Given Campaign to Create in Anaheim Lake and More Effective Community Organization at Great Get-Together Meeting. With an attendance of 150 men and women at the big together civic dinner of the C. of C. in the Union School last evening, a great impetus was given to campaign to create in Anaheim a larger and more effive organization. LEANUP CAMPAIGN LESSENS HAZZARD OF FIRE IN ANAHEIM Inflamable Stuff Will be Collected in the Business Section Regularly Sweeping measures to prevent the occurrence of fire in Anaheim have been inaugurated by Dean Hassen, Anaheim's new fire chief, and two men have been put to work, begin- The dinner was served in a very efficient manner by the ladies of the Ebell Club, while music and entertainment were furnished under the direction of Elmer E. Heida, song leader, Clarence A. Gustlin, pianist, and Fellinge's orchestra. One of the hits of the evening was a solo by Tom Wilkinson improvised on the spot by his own fertile brain. "While this organization was started only a year ago," said President Harry D. Riley in opening the meeting, "yet it has done a number of very worthy things. At first only a few of the boys were interested, but now I know we can count on many. When we decided to expand our organization we heard of the LESSENS HAZZARD OF FIRE IN ANAHEIM Inflamable Stuff Will be Collected in the Business Section Regularly Sweeping measures to prevent the occurrence of fire in Anaheim have been inaugurated by Dean Hassen, Anaheim's new fire chief, and two men have been put to work, beginning with July 1, to collect all the inflammable stuff in the business districts every morning. Messrs. Duncan and Callicote have been put on to do the work. The expense will be borne by the business men. It is that the merchants will not object, since they have to have a man each morning to clean up the waste anyway. A good start was made yesterday, seven loads of inflamables being gotten rid of. In the same line, the city council is expected to pass an ordinance at an early date to prohibit fires in the business districts, four blocks each way from the corner of Center and Los Angeles-site. These things will give the city teams more time to devote to keeping the city clean. Mr. Hassen said he declared that the authentic reports from representatives of a number of fire insurance companies that it would also lower the insurance rates considerably, enabling the local businessmen to obtain far better-rates than at present. He says that Anaheim has been one of the luckiest cities in the U. B. insofar as fires are concerned. She has always had an efficient fire department also. He said he complimented his present force, saying that at the turning in of the fire alarm from the south end of the city Thursday night after the boys were all in bed, they were out of bed, dressed and 15 out of the 17 at the scene of the fire within seven minutes. "We are doing the best we can," he declared, "but we want to do better." BUENA PARK VOTES DOWN SCHOOL PLAN Buena Park yesterday voted down the proposition to expend $16,000 for 8 1-2 acres of oranges, containing a house, to be added to the school grounds. The vote was 58 yes and 70 no. It was estimated there school district. The present school grounds front 295 feet on the highway and are 365 feet deep. The present building, badly overcrowded, has been condemned for sometime, it being held that the second floor is unsafe. It contains four rooms while five teachers have been employed for next year and a sixth will be engaged for the kindergarten. This means two additions were infirmed under the direction of Elmer E. Helda, song leader, Clarence A. Gustlin, pianist, and Fellinge's orchestra. One of the hits of the evening was a solo by Tom Wilkinson improvised on the spot by his own fertile brain. "While this organization was started only a year ago," said President Harry D. Riley in opening the meeting, "yet it has done a number of very worthy things. At first only a few of the boys were interested, but now I know we can count on many. When we decided to expand our organization we heard of the American City Bureau and some of the wonderful service they had rendered to other cities and communities. Se we engaged them and this meeting is one of the results. Now we need the cooperation of everyone in this campaign." He then introduced A. B. McCord as toastmaster of the evening. "I believe that Anaheim has the largest bunch of livewires now that she ever had in her history. We must teach the community, however, the art of team thinking, which is our only means of getting results. Sometimes people fail to see the relation between our commercial life and their homes or farms. But they are absolutely interdependent. "The present organization is small and in order to lead it must have the right philosophy." Materialism will not lead. It takes clean-cut idealism. It is the finer things of life that really count, for out of the intangible grows everything worth while. "It was only after I made sure of the principles of the organization, of the correct machinery, of the proper secretarial material, of the correct basis on which to build, that I accepted the chairmanship of the campaign committee. But I am convinced that we are on the right track. A city and community can be no greater than the sum total of its team thinking and action." 222 Malcom Fraser gave an interesting resume of the activities of the organization during the past eight or nine months. After listening to Mr. Fraser no one could doubt the ability of the organization to render valuable service to the community. J. C. Metzgar, secretary of the Santa Ana C. of C., brought good wishes to the Anaheim organization in a few well chosen remarks. If you will take outsiders in the organization," he said, "you can count on me for a membership. Just send me the bill." B. H. Schouboc, campaign manager, then gave an outline of the plans and purposes of the organization, citing a number of examples of achievements of organizations that have recently availed themselves of American City Bureau service and proving their worth to the community.

The vote was 58 yes and 70 no. It was estimated there school district. The present school grounds front 295 feet on the highway and are 365 feet deep. The present building, badly overcrowded, has been condemned for sometime, it being held that the second floor is unsafe. It contains four rooms while five teachers have been employed for next year and a sixth will be engaged for the kindergarten. This means two additional rooms must be provided before fall. Probably temporary portable buildings will be secured. The kindergarten was recently assured when a petition was signed assuring more than the legal requirements of 25 children of kindergarten age. HARDING MAY SIGN PEACE PACT TODAY PARISAN, N. J., July 2—President Harding, who is spending the week-end at Senator Prelinghuysen's home here, is expected before night to sign the Knox-Porter resolution declaring peace between the United States and the Central Powers.

POTATO GRADING DEMONSTRATION The Orange-co Farm Bureau potato grading demonstration will be held on Edward Long's ranch, one-half mile west of Stanton, Wednesday at 2 p.m., July 6. The demonstration will be conducted by Mr. Traux who is federal standardization agent or bureau of markets. It is held at the request of Orange-co potato growers under the auspices of the farm bureau for the purpose of showing the different U.S. grades for spuds, recommended by the bureau of markets. The grades are being adopted by all potato growing sections of the nation. All Orange-co potato growers, both large and small, are urged to attend. LESSONS IN CITIZENSHIP No. 8 Sunday is oftentimes the day when our thots turn to the good we can do. The good one can do in this community may be measured in two ways: by the financial assistance that is given to assist in promoting good work, and by rendering some measure of personal service in assisting in that good work. United action counts for more than individual action, just as a volley from a regiment counts for more than scattering shots. And there is one organization in which all good citizens can unite in promoting those things for the general welfare. That organization is non-sectarian, non-partisan, representative of no particular class except high-class shot, and run on broad-guaged lines in a thoroly democratic manner. That organization is the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. To be the most effective organization it can possibly be, it receives the undivided support of every element of the community and of every person in the community. Unselfish service is the spirit of the times. The campaign next week will measure Anaheim as a modern, progressive city. Do your share for Anaheim. ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN LEADING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Saturday, July 2, 1921 Y WINS BY K. O. IN Time to Fight L. A. Express, Says Merchants Assn. Sec'y Nothing in months has so heartened Anaheim merchants and property holders, long smarting under the serious handicap to business and increase of property values imposed by F. W. Kellogg, big Los Angeles publisher, in forcing his paper into the homes of the Anaheim shopping territory in connection with an Emily-st paper which he controls, as did the announcement in last night's Plain Dealer that Santa Ana businessmen and civic organizations were not going to sit by supinely while Kellogg worms his Los Angeles paper into the county-seat. Local merchants and taxpayers found wbonderful satisfaction in the knowledge that the businessmen of the county-seat were going to profit by the mistake that has been permitted to occur here in letting the Los Angeles daily skim the cream from the Anaheim trading territory for Los Angeles advertisers. "Santa Ana is doing now what Anaheim businessmen should have done long ago," was the vigorous declaration today of H. P. Noll, secretary of the Anaheim Merchants' Assn. "No Los Angeles newspaper should ever have been permitted to come into Anaheim under such an arrangement with a local paper," continued Noll. I know I am expressing the sentiments of the big majority of Anaheim businessmen when I assert that they realize the biggest handicap to their growth and the development of Anaheim generally is the combination of the Los Angeles and Emily-st papers. "I do not believe there is any use dodging the issue further, especially since Anaheim businessmen are now aware that they will have the unbending support of Santa Ana civic organizations in opposing this effort of the Los Angeles publisher to cripple the development of Orange-co. There is no use talking, the forcing of the Los Angeles paper into the homes of the Anaheim district has materially reduced the possibilities of development of our business men and not also try to take away the retail trade of the local business men. "When the big Los Angeles paper is delivered at the home carefully folded up in the Emily-st paper, it is only natural that the readers in that household first turn to the larger newspaper, soon scanning over page after page of Los Angeles advertising. This occurs night after night. Anaheim merchants can compete with Los Angeles merchants on price and quality any day in the week, but they cannot compete with them in such prodigious use of advertising space." "Coupling with this the natural feeling of the shopper that the grass grows longer in the next pasture, Anaheim is being subjected to entirely unnecessary and unfair competition. "I have felt this ever since the newspaper combination in question was effected and I am more than ever convinced of it now." YOUNG SODA CLERK INCRIMINATES SELF ON WITNESS STAND Henry Wallace Tells of Sales of Jamaica Ginger, at Hilbert Drug Store Henry Wallace, young soda dispenser in the Hilbert drug store at La Habra, this morning gave alleged incriminating testimony in superior court at Santa Ana. Wallace was a witness at the hearing of Roy Keyes, 17; and Vern Hunt who, driving separate automobiles, were arrested within an hour after they were alleged to have purchased three bottles of jamaica ginger in the Hilbert store. Judge Williams granted probation. Wallace was then asked if he had anything to say and he said he would like to make a statement. On the stand he unresistingly admitted the sale of the ginger and told of what the store had in stock. Deputy District Atty. Mozeley then ordered that he be held and stated that action would be taken against Hilbert also. WON’T GIVE WATER UNLESS HE’S FORCED The inhabitants of the Swan subdivision just north of the state highway at the north end of Lemon-street are still temporarily receiving water from the city, it was stated today at the office of the city manager, O. E. Steward. This supply will not be continued indefinitely, however, he declared. W. S. B. Lawrie who formerly supplied the settlement with water but whose pump has been broken down for some time, still contends that he is not under any obligations to furnish water to the Mexicans, that he is not under the supervision of the railroad commission, and therefore he will not take further responsibility unless forced to do so by the railroad commission as a general hearing.

CRISIS PASSING IN RAIL STRIKE CHICAGO—July 2.—The majority of the 2,000,000 railroad workers were held at bay today by conservative leadership. Rail union leaders, meeting here to decide what action to take on the 12 per cent wage cut ordered by the United States railroad labor board, stood out against a walkout in spite of the fact that members of unions are overwhelmingly opposed to the wage slash. Attitude of the rank and file is shown by unofficial counts of referenda taken among some unions and by statements of some leaders who sounded out their men before they came to the conference. In railroad circles it was believed the will of the leaders will prevail—that they would prevent a railroad crisis in spite of the $400,000,000 annual pay reduction. Definite statement of the action of the leaders may come late today, but it is probable the conference may continue into next week. DEMPSEY SLEEPS IN BIG BANKER’S HOME JERSEY CITY, N. J., July 2 — Jack Dempsey spent the last hours before the big fight like a millionaire Wall Street broker would prepare for a hard day at a game of bridge. The champion slipped from a millionaire’s bed this morning into a dressing gown and stole into a millionaire’s shower. He took a rub and ate a millionaire’s breakfast. The multi-colored windows of a millionaire’s dining room shone into his ham and eggs. It was an oriental breakfast room with ruby-lighted windows and dim east Indian settings. General William C. Heppenheimer, bank president and millionaire sportsman, played the host. FULL STREET DANCE AND CONCERT FEATURE OPENING OF PARK City Manager O. E. Steward Arranges for Roping Off of Street—No Cost for Dancing Manager E. A. Beard of the Anaheim Municipal band today announced that a public street dance would be given on No. Lemon-street next Thursday evening when the band “initiates” the new park with the first of the weekly summer concerts. “The band concert will last from eight to nine,” stated Beard today. “Following that for an hour, the band will play for street dancers. Thru the cooperation of City Manager O. E. Steward, the street will be roped off at the point opposite the band stand so that dancers will not find traffic interfering. There will be no charge for the dancing. It will be entirely free, as a part of the jollification that it is felt should accompany the initial use of Anabeim’s long desired city park.” MOVES INTO FINE FILLING STATION H. E. Abplanalh has moved into his new and modern filling and service station at the northeast corner of W. Center and West-sta., across the street from the place where he was located for six months. He has taken a 10 year lease on the corner and has improved it with one of the finest filling stations in Orange-co. SAYS SHE’LL WED DEMPSEY TONIGHT NEW YORK, July 2.—“I will marry Jack Dempsey either tonight or tomorrow, no matter how the fight comes out.” said Miss Sylvia Jacelyn of Hollywood, Los Angeles, to an In-when seen at the Hotel Belmont at noon today. Her statement was the first confirmation of the persistent report that the champion intends boarding the good ship matrimony. Miss Jocelyn is a scenario writer and met Dempsey while she latter was making his moving pictures in Los Angeles.

IN FOURTH CARPENTIER, CONTENDER, DROPPED BY CHAMPION RINGIDE, JERSEY CITY, July 2.—Jack Dempsey defeated Carpentier, the pride of France, and retained his title as champion pugilist of the world here today. The crowd was the largest that ever gathered to witness a prize fight and there were many women, some of them socially prominent, at the ringside. Dempsey was the betting favorite from the first and at every point he scored he was cheered to the echo by the highly partisan crowd. Dempsey wins by a knockout. RINGSIDE, 9-25 a.m., July 2.—Light rain broke thru the heavy clouds at the stadium at 9:00 a.m. but ceased at 9:25. Carpentier arrived here shortly after noon for his battle with Jack Dempsey. The contender was hurried from the yacht which carried him from his training camp. He started for his temporary home in New Jersey in a limousine, escorted by mounted police.

The contender was hurried from the yacht which carried him from his training camp. He started for his temporary home in New Jersey in a limousine, escorted by mounted police. The schedule called for the departure of Dempsey from his home in Jersey City at 2:30 p.m., accompanied by his brother, Bernard Dempsey, Jack Kearns, Trainer Teddy Hayes and Joe Benjamin. Spectators were not interested in anything but the big bout. Governor Edwards and his staff entered at 1:30. The state executive was given great cheers. A hydroplane was flying over the stadium taking pictures. A few drops of rain started to fall. Threatened more. There didn't seem to be great soldier element in the house when Turney was introduced as the A. E. F. champion. There was not enough noise to be heard. Tommy Gibbons, contender for the heavyweight championship, came to the ringside and announced that he would challenge the winner of the main bout. Dempsey arrived at the arena at 2:30 p.m. Dempsey sneaked into the arena without being observed by the fans. There wasn't a sound as he walked to his dressing room. Both Dempsey and Carpentier have entered the rooms behind the bleachers. Carpentier entered the ring at 2:56. Dempsey entered the ring at 2:59. Bout of Billy Miske and Jack Renault postponed to allow big bout to start. Dempsey seemed very nervous. Roberty Daugherty gave final inspection to swinging seats in the ring. Carpentier was given a great ovation when he entered the ring. The challenger smiled and bowed to the crowd. Deschamps went over and shook hands with Dempsey, congratulating him. Carpentier wore a gray dressing gown with black border. Dempsey sat in his corner with a maroon sweater around his shoulders. He seemed to be very nervous. His face was colorless. Referee Ertle entered the ring and posed back of Dempsey and Carpentier while they were filmed, shaking hands. Dempsey showed not a tremor. Deschamps remained in Dempsey's corner and both Kearns and Benjamin went to Carpentier's corner. Kearns leaned over the rope chewing viciously. Carpentier seemed as cool as a piece of ice. He looked over the house and smiled. Gloves were brot into the ring. Dempsey had choice of the two pairs of gloves. The GOLDEN STATE HAS JULY 4TH DISPLAY That the true significance of the Fourth of July might not be forgotten and its memory be lost in vacation celebrating, the Golden State National bank has arranged a very appropriate window display. With a fitting background composed of the silken folds of "Old Glory," copies of the declaration of independence and the signatures of those brave patriots who made it the foundation of our government are displayed, while neatly located is the artistic inscription, "You Should Save Today for Your Independence." While brave deeds, privation, sacrifice of life and property were part of the tribute paid for our independence, thrift and economy also played a most important issue. Dept and extravagance are the tyrants of today, that hold many in subjugation and thrift and a savings account are the safe bulwarks of defense. FIVE BOYS ESCAPE COLONY AT SPADRA LOS ANGELES, July 2.—Five boys escaped from the Pacific colony at Spadra during the night, Super-intendent Thurlow reported to the sheriff's office today. Thurlow stated that the boys were headed in the direction of Los Angeles and asked that deputy sheriffs be sent out to capture them.
