NEWS OF FULLERTON BALLARD SPEAKER AT BOARD OF TRADE R. H. Ballard, vice president and general manager of the So. Cal. Edison Co., of Los Angeles, the speaker of the evening at the regular monthly meeting of the Fullerton B. of T., held last night in the Fullerton club rooms, was introduced by Dr. Chilton. Prof. William T. Boyce, the regular chairman of the entertainment committee, could not be present since he had to remain at home to entertain his band new son. Referring to this, Mr. Ballard said that there was a young mother once who said on the birth of her children when she was married that her first offspring would be twins, as they were, because at her wedding the orchestra had played "Two Little Boys in Blue." At which a newly married bride gave an exclamation of mingled horror and surprise, and said, "At any wedding they played the 91st regiment march." Mr. Ballard also declared that on being informed of Mr. Boyce's absence and the reason, he innocently inquired how often babies were born in Fullerton, to which his informant gave him a look of surprise and pity that he should be so ignorant, and replied, "Only one time, sir!" He spoke on the growth of the So. Cal. Edison Co., and the electric business in general. The company had only 1,022 consumers when it started out in 1899, but in 1920 it supplied 240,000 units first year its assets were $1,234,-000. In 1920 they were $116,596,000. In 1883 the first electric distributing station was erected in New York, and there was only one private consumer on its line. J. P. Morgan, Today it would be almost impossible to estimate the consumers in America. California has been the pioneer in hydro-electric power, he stated, and declared that the So. Cal. Edison Co. has one large system in order that one plant put out any part of the system out of commission. The company is now three plants ahead of the demand, he said. He stated that a business of this kind operated by private individuals is much better than that operated by a municipality, and much more efficient. Sell Stock Next Week for Hotel Last night was "Hotel Night" at the regular monthly meeting of the Fullerton B. of T., and a drawing of the proposed new hotel was submitted and explained by M. Eugene Durfee and Frank Benchley, architects. Mr. Durbin, who desires to lease the hotel, was also present, and gave a short talk, as also did Charles Thamer of the B. of T. hotel committee. It was decided that the plans were fine, if they would only work out in a fine way, and by a unanimous vote it was decided to make next week "hotel week" during which time committees will solicit the citizens of the city to subscribe for stock for the erection of the new hotel. PICNIC AT SIERRA MADRE Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Craig gave a very enjoyable picnic at Sierra Madre a few days ago in honor of their mother's birthday. The evening was spent at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Brown, where all had a delightful time. The guests were Dr. and Mrs. Hinman, Mr. and Mrs. Coleman, and Mr. and Mrs. Brown, all of Los Angeles. SERVE CHICKEN DINNER Mr. and Mrs. Frank Amini, of 116 East Brookdale, entertained at their home Tuesday evening. A delicious chicken dinner was served and covered with music, games and conversation.

Today it would be almost impossible to estimate the consumers in America. California has been the pioneer in hydro-electric power, he stated, and declared that the So. Cal. Edison Co. has one large system in order that one plant put out of commission will not put any part of the system cut of commission. The company is now three plants ahead of the demand, he said. He stated that a business of this kind operated by private individuals is much better than that operated by a municipality, and much more efficient. He stated that the reduction in rates since the war had amounted to $1,300,000, and that the trend of rates are downward instead of upward. Labor is permanently on a higher basis than before the war, however, he declared. He told the possibilities of the Colorado river for hydro-electric power production stating that at Glen Canyon it will be possible to dam up 40,000,000 acre feet of water, and diminish the danger from floods. He also spoke of the port of Los Angeles which was opened in 1913, and said that since one-third of the population of the world resides on the Pacific Ocean, the Pacific ocean is the great trade highway of the future. EBELL SUGGESTS SOLDIER MEMORIAL A delegation from the Fullerton Ebell club appeared before the board of trade at its regular monthly meeting last night, and asked the support of the board in obtaining a memorial to the soldier boys from No. Orange-co., who lost their lives in France. Mrs. Albert Launer, president of the club, who made a short talk, said that everything comes to him who works for it, and she urged that the board of trade and the Ebell club work together in public affairs, and especially for this living memorial for the soldier dead. She promised the co-operation of the Ebell club in the hotel proposition. It is planned to make a swimming pool as a memorial to the gold star soldiers, George W. Finch was appointed by the president of the board of trade, F. C. Krause, as a committee of one to cooperate with the Ebell club in this matter. FULLERTON SEEKING TEACHERS' CONFAB Ralph Brown, of the advertising committee of the board of trade, announced last night at the regular monthly meeting of the board that Fullerton now has an opportunity to get the high school teachers state convention of Cal., during the Easter vacation on the coming year, if she can furnish the pedagogues some place to sleep.

TEACHERS' CONFAB Ralph Brown, of the advertising committee of the board of trade, announced last night at the regular monthly meeting of the board that Fullerton now has an opportunity to get the high school teachers state convention of Cal., during the Easter vacation on the coming year, if she can furnish the pedagogues some place to sleep. This will not be easy, since Fullerton can, not build her new hotel by that time, and therefore the citizens of the town must open their doors and invite the teachers into their homes, if they would obtain the convention which would be a great advertisement to the city. The board of trade authorized directors to do whatsoever lay in their power to obtain the convention. Those who would open their homes to the teachers are requested to communicate with Miss Anita Shepherdson of the high school faculty.

MONTHLY MEETING OF BOARD OF TRADE The regular monthly meeting of the Fullerton B. of Twas held last night at the Fullerton club the members enjoying a banquet at 6:30 served by the ladies of the Ebelclub. The first matter taken up following the banquet was the admittance of new members, who included: R. J. Frederick, M. Eugene Durkee, Buckeye Garage, J. H. Bruce, and Former Mayor Richardson. Abe Pritchard reported that the monthly meeting of the farm bureau is Oct. 5, and he urged that as many members of the board of trade would attend as possible. There will be a good program at the meeting of the farm bureau, and a prominent speaker has been promised if it is possible to get a large attendance out. The meeting will be held in the annex of the Presbyterian church. L. E. Plummer also announced that the Farm Center of Fullerton is planning participation in the county fair at Huntington Beach, and that they are short on some fruit displays. He urged that those who might have displays which could be entered would get up touch with the Center. The displays can be left at the Fullerton Ice Plant. Mr. Plummer also called attention to the fact that the public cannot be invited to attend the high school assemblies in large numbers as in the past because the school is so crowded that there are not seats to seat many visitors, there being only 75 empty seats in the auditorium in all. This brot forth a storm of applause, since the crowded school condition bodes well for the city's educational system. Dr. Thomas Z. Davis made a short talk of five minutes announcing that he would talk on "Why man has his own peculiar ideas, as to how his business should be conducted," at the high school auditorium tonight, and also tomorrow night. He will also talk at the assembly of the high school tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'clock. In his efficiency work, he states that he has studied little children who fail in their grades, and went right on up the line studying those who make a failure of school, and of business. He has been a student of psychology for many years, and it is his opinion that there are but few who know how much to know in order to know how little we know. CARLOAD OF HOBOES RAIDED BY POLICE The Fullerton police last night made a raid on a congregation of hoboes in a box car on the Santa Fe tracks, capturing nine of them, including Mexicans and whites. They were all brot before Judge French this morning, and sentenced to 20 days each in the county jail at Santa Ana. Witman Eyesight Specialist. If it's from Witman's it’s good.

Los Angeles St., Anaheim Phone 452 I Invite You! to call at my office and I will show you what is universally conceded to be the finest 20.4 orange grove in this county, situated in the city limits. You will be astonished to see as I conduct you through this wonder grove, big, handsome, healthful trees so typical of their true type; soil conditions nowhere else to be found, a truly heavy setting of fruit for next year, the size of which will surprise you and I will call your attention to the tops of these trees, the greatest indication of what this superior grove produces, and which is so noticeably lacking in other groves. I will enter into the most minute details, and will produce figures which will show an income of 22 per cent on price asked. I will accompany you to the packing house, and arrange conferences with owners of orange groves who have voluntarily pronounced this grove as being the best in Orange county. It has every indication of being the heaviest producing 20.4 acres in this vicinity for next season. I can show you groves which are so inferior that a comparison would be doing this splendid acreage an injustice, and yet they are held at a price which is in excess of what this grove may be purchased for. Its location alone is worth more than the price asked if it didn't have a tree on it. Consider carefully this point. Only 3 blocks from the new postoffice, a stone's throw from the new park, frontage on 3 streets, one of which will very shortly be the direct road to Los Angeles, few minutes' walk from the new subdivision of the Park View Tract, high school on one street, and church on the other. This property viewed from every angle represents the best possible buy ever offered in this vicinity. The only reason this property is offered for sale is due to one of the owners being desirous of returning east. Here is your one big chance. Don't wait until the fruit colors up. Don't wait until the owners change their minds, but act now. At the present price this grove must be sold before October 12th. See me at once.
