The meeting was attended by about 30 members, managers, clerks and visitors. The banquet, held at 7 o'clock, was followed by an address by the president, George C. Woous, of Orange, who welcomed the members and their friends and spoke briefly of the interest and benefit of the association. He was followed by a representative from the Orange-co Auto Dealers' Assn., calling attention to a meeting on Oct. 14, at Anaheim union high school to discuss activities of the Calif farm bureau exchange, and urging the merchants to be present at that meeting. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Harry Carroll, formerly past president of the Advertising club of Los Angeles, and now advertising manager of the Broadway department store in that city. He gave a very interesting talk on newspaper advertising, as well as within-the-store advertising methods. His talk was greatly enjoyed and enthusiastically applauded. L. R. Crawford, of the Crawford advertising agency, of Santa Ana gave some very good pointers on present day advertising. Mr. Jones, of Los Angeles, talked on the all-the-year-around advertising proposition, after which the association went on record endorsing the movement.

OIL EMBARGO HITS BRITISH FIRMS MEXICO CITY, Oct. 11.-British industry in Mexico is demoralized today as the result of the embargo placed upon the oil company El Aguila by the state of Vera Cruz.

It is clearmed by the state that El Aguila failed to pay taxes due and the affair has been taken before the Mexican supreme court here.

HIGHER-UPS AGAIN PLAN SLASH CHICAGO, Oct. 12.—Railroad executives again plan to slash the wages of 2,000,000 railworkers, the United Press was reliably informed today. The executives of the leading carriers of the country, who meet here Friday, have definitely decided upon this step. The amount to be cut from the payroll will be decided at the conference. Railroad officials today believed they would be successful in trimming wages. They pointed to the attitude of the administration, which recommended to the employment conference a cut in rail wages and a reduction in freight rates. Knowledge of the cut has reached the heads of the big railroad unions who have been meeting here all week. They refused to discuss the question today but stood by their former statements that there would be a strike if wages were cut in addition to the $400,-000,000 reduction which went into effect July 1. MINISTER OFFERS BEER SUBSTITUTE LONDON, Oct. 12. — The bottle looks like a beer bottle. The contents look and taste like beer. If you drink two bottles before going to bed you have a thirst in the morning. This is the very high testimonial given by a clergyman of Auchterarder, Scotland, to a beverage which is being supplied to the good folk of that town, bereft of the real "good" by the recent "dry" vote in the poll taken under the Scottish prohibition act. The term "roadster" was first applied to vessels that worked their way by means of the tide. at Weber's Anaheim Halloween Party Novelties We have over 25 clever Calif., farm bureau federation, is one of the principal speakers of the day.

MAJORITY OF MEN ARE OLD OFFENDERS SACRAMENTO, Oct. 12.—Of 900 prisoners now in Folsom prison, 753 are "repeaters" or second offenders according to the report of Warden J. J. Smith, submitted to the state board of control. "First timers," unfamiliar with prison life and the risks accompanying prison breaks, are much more liable to make a dash for liberty than the "repeaters," the report shows. Escape convicts and parole violators from Folsom prison now at large total 280. Only 26 of these actually broke prison, the others being parole violators. The percentage of escapes is not high, as these figures would seem to indicate, for the report includes all convicts who have escaped since the institution was founded and have not been recaptured.

DANZ PIANO CO. 162 West Center Street Anaheim AGER Los Angeles $437 DANZ PIANO C. 162 West Center Street Anaheim WAGE TIRES RED MAN SERIES THE WINNING OF RED BIRD BY "INDIAN" MILLER Thunder Bird was a great runner of his tribe. He thought no one could beat him in a race. With the idea of beating all the best runners of other tribes, he set out in his best regalia. He went among many tribes; and he beat all others wherever he went until he reached the tribe of the butterfly women. There he learned that the best runner of the tribe was a beautiful girl named Red Bird. Thunder Bird fell in love with Red Bird and challenged her to run a race with him. Red Bird had announced she would marry whoever could beat her in a foot-race. When she heard the challenge, she said, "Thunder Bird, you will first have to show me that you can run. To prove that you can run fast enough to exercise me, you will first have to run a race with the swiftest runner among our men with heavy stones could beat him in a race. With the idea of beating all the best runners of other tribes, he set out in his best regalia. He went among many tribes; and he beat all others wherever he went until he reached the tribe of the butterfly women. There he learned that the best runner of the tribe was a beautiful girl named Red Bird. Thunder Bird fell in love with Red Bird and challenged her to run a race with him. Red Bird had announced she would marry whoever could beat her in a footrace. When she heard the challenge, she said, "Thunder Bird, you will first have to show me that you can run. To prove that you can run fast enough to exercise me, you will first have to run a race with the swiftest runner among our men with heavy stones tied around your ankles." So Thunder Bird tied stones around his ankles; and with that handicap he beat them all. But he was greatly exhausted from carrying the weights on his ankles. Red Bird did not love him; so no sooner had the stones been removed from his ankles than she urged him to run. She thought that she could certainly beat him while he was tired. Thunder Bird said, "Red Bird, you can even fly and I will catch you." For a while Red Bird led the race; but Thunder Bird was beside her before the race was half over. Then Red Bird tripped him. But she could not fool him that way twice; and the next time he leaped high over her foot and won the race. So much did Red Bird admire his wonderful endurance that really loved him then. The new Savage Cord tire is built to endure. Its oversize, the toughness of its tread, its construction, the care in the selection of raw material, the skilled workmanship, the methods employed—these insure durability and service, even when subjected to unusual handicaps.
