NEWS OF FULLERTON COULTER REVIEWS FULLERTON HISTORY The principal feature of the regular monthly meeting of the Fullerton B. of T. was an address by William E. Coulter, mayor of Fullerton, in which he reviewed the history and progress of Fullerton since its incorporation 17 years ago. C. C. Chapman was the first president of the board of trustees, E. K. Benchley, the second, and Mr. Coulter, the third. The first board devoted most of its time to ordering down sidewalks, since there was nothing else to do. Fullerton at that time was but a name surrounded by orange groves. The second board continued the work of the first, and also passed an ordinance prohibiting men from riding down the sidewalks on horseback, referring to one case where a wild westerner rode down one of the sidewalks on horseback and into a saloon. During the session of the third board, a fight was raised against the saloons, and the board put it up to the people. It was a case of the town going dry or else going many times wetter. It went dry by three votes. Since that time the town has steadily grown and is now growing at a whirlwind pace. He told of the many new subdivisions that are being made, and he said that it is his opinion that this will solve the housing problem which a year ago was so acute. This is being advanced by the extending of the water system to the city limits, which has been done in many places. He said that he hoped to see the day before many years when everyone within the city limits would be furnished with city water. There is no reason why they should not be, he said. He told of the new city reservoir, Mrs. M. D. Curtis is in Los Angeles taking care of her daughter-in-law, who is ill there. Wedding invitations have been issued for the coming marriage of Dr. H. A. Ford, of Fullerton, and Miss Gladys Hale, of Los Angeles, which will take place at the Congregational church Nov. 7. Mr. and Mrs. Dalozier, of Eagle Rock, and Mr. and Mrs. E. Stone, were the guests of Mr. an dMrs. P. C. Woodward Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Molleda and Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Oglsby, of Santa Ana, attended the flower show Saturday. Mr. M. Andrews, of Los Angeles, spat at the day with Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Molleda yesterday. Mr. F. Wilson, of Culver City, is visiting his daughter, Mrs. W. Winter, at Fullerton. Misses Wantyn and Juanita Wilhite spent the week end at Long Beach with her resister, Mrs. A. L. Ellis. Mrs. J. H. Wilhite and Mrs. A. L. Ellis were the guests of Mrs. W. McClellan, of Whittier, Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. F. M. West and family spent the week end at their Long Beach home. The Royal Neighbors will give a big masquerade party tonight in the Odd Fellows hall, for the members of the organization. It was announced Saturday that this affair would be given for the public, but it is for the members only. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Boyce will entertain Dr. and Mrs. P. Dowling and son Robert this evening with a dinner party in honor of Mr. Boyce's birthday. Mrs. Nash of Van Nuys is visiting her son, Mr. Mitchell, this week. Mr. B. Reese is in Los Angeles today on business. The Masonic Lodge are giving a big dance tonight at the Masonic Temple. Mr. and Mrs. K. Kohl returned Sunday from Los Angeles, where they have been for several days attending the Nurserymen's convention. Mrs. W. E. Krupp has just returned from Tucson, Arizona, where she has been visiting Mrs. L. Carter, a friend who spent the summer with her. She was gone for three weeks, and had a very fine trip. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Taggart were the the many new subdivisions that are being made, and he said that it is his opinion that this will solve the housing problem which a year ago was so acute. This is being advanced by the extending of the water system to the city limits, which has been done in many places. He said that he hoped to see the day before many years when everyone within the city limits would be furnished with city water. There is no reason why they should not be, he said. He told of the new city reservoir, the Highland-ave bridge, the ornamental lighting system, the new water system, and the sewer farm, and other improvements that have just been completed, or are under way. He said that the troublesome matter of the sewer farm has been practically solved, and that the water which once caused the neighbors to complain is now being asked by them for irrigation purposes. The problem was solved by two new septic tanks which has taken away the odor effectively separating the water from the sludge. He stated that each year more and more people are coming to California, people who formerly went to Europe. And, in the regular course of events, Fullerton will continue to grow at a rapid pace. He then discussed the city's finances, saying that they are the most favorable in So. Calif. He stated, however, that while the residential section of Fullerton is growing by leaps and bounds the business section was on a standstill. He stated that he believed a new hotel would start the business section to growing rapidly, therefore he had decided to use his influence to have the city donate the site on No. Spadra-rd, just north of the city hall for the hotel site, provided the hotel was brot up to specifications which have been made by the architects. Here he was interrupted by a roar all thrud the building, and practically everyone stood up and yelled and whooped like Comanche Indians and it was several minutes before the tumult ceased. He then told how he had received deeds for the skyline drive right-of-way with the exception of one piece of property, and that if this is not obtained soon, the Union Oil Co. is likely to withdraw their agreement. He also stated that the Union Pacific railway has requested permission to construct a road into Fullerton, and a crossing of the Santa Fe. Following his address, Trustees Drake, Swain and Davis spoke endorsing what he said about the hotel site. Albert Launer, city attorney, also spoke saying that cooperation is the keystone of success. C. C. Chapman was then called on to speak, and said that proposi- Mrs. Nash of Van Nuys is visiting her son, Mr. Mitchell, this week. Mr. B Reese is in Los Angeles today on business.

They are also planning to remodel the plant in town, and will start the work as soon as the last of this season's Valencias have been shipped, probably next week. The improvements on the two plants will cost about $10,000, and will serve to increase their capacity to four and one-half cars daily. CONGREGATION GROWING Rev. K. Montague, the new M.

ROBERTS (From the Monthly Letter Issued by The National City Bank of New York for October) THE end of September discloses signs of improvement in the business situation, and while for the most part they relate to seasonal conditions, some of the changes are indicative of a gradual restoration of the industrial equilibrium which is necessary to permanent prosperity. The shoe industry and the cotton and woolen goods industries are now generally active. Raw cotton has advanced in a little over a month from about 11 cents per pound to about 20 cents, and this has put strength into the goods market and encouraged buying. Cotton goods, however, have not advanced to correspond with raw cotton, and although the mills having stocks of 11 and 12 cent raw material on hand are able to work them up and sell the goods, the pinch will come when they have to buy cotton at the new quotations and advance the price of goods accordingly. Retail merchants are vigorously opposing advances in all textiles and insisting that lower prices are necessary to create a good volume of trade. The situation is unsettled, with opinion spreading that costs must be reduced both in the manufacture of cloth and in the garment trades. In many lines there is a stir of increased activity, attributable to fall trade. Crop moving is not, however, affording the normal stimulus, owing in part to the low prices of farm products and in part to the fact that the proceeds are going largely to pay old debts. However, PRODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES DURING 1921 The following table corpiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York gives the available figures for monthly production as percentages of normal production. Allowance has been made for the normal increase in production from year to year and the normal seasonal variation from month to month. (Normal production = 100) Average Jan-March July August Anthracite coal mined... 103 94 92 Bituminous coal mined... 64 61 63 Pig iron production... 58 26 28 Steel ingot production... 58 26 36 Zinc production... 52 40 38 Lead production... 66 63 — Tin deliveries... 31 30 64 Copper production... 67 13 16 Gasoline production... 103 84 — Cement production... 79 89 89 Cotton consumption... 62 64 75 Wool consumption... 70 97 96 Wheat flour milled... 89 148 174 Sugar meltings... 85 84 106 Meat slaughtered... 90 88 113 In view of the prospect for light sowings in Russia this fall and no surplus there next year, it would seem to be good policy to sow a larger acreage of wheat in the United States this fall. It does not appear that the position of agriculture or any of the primary industries has generally improved during recent months. The cotton producers have gained by the increased value of their carry-over; tobacco, and dairy products are bringing better prices, and wheat is on a remunerative basis, but hogs have suffered a heavy slump and are now with cattle and sheep down to about pre-war prices. Taken as a whole the prices of farm products are so far out of line of employment upon public works at best effective only as a means of tiding over a temporary situation, and are chiefly objectionable because they actually postpone the readjustments that are necessary to the restoration of a normal state of industry. The natural course for an employer to pursue when reductions of force must be made is retain the oldest and most worthy employees, if it is not likely that many will be persuaded to do otherwise. There is no way to have prosperity except by self-supporting balanced industry—by the free and natural exchange of products and services—and this requires that the compensation of the people in the various industries shall be on such a basis that they will absorb each other's products. When a general state of confusion exists in which the exchanges cannot be made as usual, production slows down. The individual employer cannot go on making goods unless he can sell them. When his outlet is closed he shuts down, and when he stops buying materials and paying wages an outlet for other products is closed. Employers and employees are alike affected; it is not a situation to quarrel over, but to investigate intelligently, to find the original cause. The existing situation presents a test of the quality of labor leadership. Has it the foresight, the wisdom and courage to act for the best interests of the whole body of wage-earners and of society as a whole? Retail merchants are vigorously opposing advances in all textiles and insisting that lower prices are necessary to create a good volume of trade. The situation is unsettled, with opinion spreading that costs must be reduced both in the manufacture of cloth and in the garment trades. In many lines there is a stir of increased activity, attributable to fall trade. Crop moving is not, however, affording the normal stimulus, owing in part to the low prices of farm products and in part to the fact that the proceeds are going largely to pay old debts. However, there is a more cheerful feeling as debts are paid or reduced. There is not enough business to go around, which makes competition sharp, with profits at the minimum. The wheat crop of the United States and Canada stands at latest estimates about the same as a year ago, and the world's crop is about the same as for last year. About 135 million bushels were exported (either as whole grain or flour) between July 1 and October 1. It has been recognized in well-informed quarters throughout the last two months that the price of wheat between now and the next harvest depends largely upon the crops in Argentina and Australia, two countries which have their harvests in our winter season. Neither of these countries ships wheat to the United States, but their surplus competes with ours in Europe and the price of the surplus makes the prices everywhere. HOTEL ASSURED AT B. OF T. BANQUET The grand new hotel in Fullerton was assured at the meeting of the Fullerton Board of Trade last night at the Fullerton Club, when Mayor W. F. Coulter announced that it was his intention to use his influence to have the board of trustees grant the site for the hotel for nothing, and other members of the board who were present announced their intention to follow in the mayor's footsteps. C. C. Chapman was called to the platform and declared that the moment this action was voted by the board he would order his architect to complete plans for the building. J. W. Wickerheim suggested that more money be raised at the meeting, adding to his subscription $100. There were others who doubled their subscriptions. As a prelude to the business meeting following the banquet, musical numbers were given by Vernon W. Grey, violinist, and Miss Ethel Grey, pianist. A two-minute speech on "Good English" was given by Winfield Irwin of the high school student body, son of W. N. Irwin, secretary of the Board of Trade. He said that tags are printed containing the most common errors, and given to the students, and that can hone is fined every time he uses an expression that is not correct. Prizes are offered on the other hand for the best speech, the best editorial, etc. He urged that the efforts be extended to the home, declaring that he is going to fine his "dad" every time he butches the king's English. NOONAN DYE WORKS EXPANDS The Noonan Dye Works of Fullerton today opened a branch office at the Greenburg furnishing store on Last Center street. Anaheim, just across the street from the old city hall, and also a branch office in Brea, on Domona Avenue, just across the street from the postoffice. They contemplate opening a branch office in Placentia at an early date. They also contemplate the early erection of a plant at 223 West Santa Fe avenue. Fullerton, including dressing rooms, rest rooms, and waiting rooms, with rental apartments upstairs and an apartment downstairs for Mr. and Mrs. Noonan. They have two presses, and are ready to compete with Low Angeles firms. They have steam drying rooms, with steam piped from the boilers of Sanitary Laundry. They plan a new building of brick, trimmed with white tile. APPOINT COMMITTEE A committee on recreation grounds was appointed yesterday at the First Christian church of Fullerton, composed of Francis Dowling, "Shorty Smith, Archele Raitt and L. O. Culp." They will arrange a playground just north of the Christian church building. The Bible class of the First Presbyterian church of Fullerton went over to the Christian church Bible class meeting yesterday, so how they "put it over." A reception committee was appointed to meet the governor. About 500 members of the Bible class were present. HEADS ARMY ON COAST WASHINGTON, Oct. 25—In bullets made public by Secretary High School Notes There are two games of football scheduled for this week. Skeeterweights will meet Whittier on the latter's gridiron Thursday. The second league games come Friday with Whittier on the local grid. Anaheim boys are in good shape and Whittier claims that hers were never better, so a tough fight is in store. An admission fee will be charged. The second meeting of the Orange-co debating society was held in the local debating rooms. The opening of the league will be Nov. 18. On that day Anaheim will go against Santa Ana and Fullerton. The question is: "Resolved, that immediate limitation of armaments would be imperative to the welfare of the nations." Ted Sims and Henry Hodges are to uphold the affirmative against Santa Ana at Anaheim and the negative will be upheld by Herman Schacht and Stewart Jayne at Fullerton. It has not been decided whether the debate will be held at night or in day time. The So. Calif. debating league has also become active. Anaheim has two loyal sons to be proud of and these will defend Anaheim at South Pasadena on the evening of following the banquet, musical numbers were given by Vernon W. Grey, violinist, and Miss Ethel Grey, pianist. A two-minute speech on "Good English" was given by Winfield Irwin, of the high school student body, son of W. N. Irwin, secretary of the Board of Trade. He said that tags are printed containing the most common errors, and given to the students, and that each one is lined every time he uses an expression that is not correct. Prizes are offered on the other hand for the best speech, the best editorial, etc. He urged that the efforts be extended to the home, declaring that he is going to fine his "dad" every time he butches the king's English. Secretary Irwin stated that he had on hand 68 names of men who had not paid their dues, and requested that they settle this week. Rev. John T. Houser, of the First Christian church, announced that everyone was invited to the Bible banquet Wednesday evening at the Fullerton high school cafeteria, at which Governor Stephens will speak. The city band will be out in full regalia, and music will also be rendered by the Orpheus singers of Los Angeles. Mrs. E. E. Renaburg and daughter of Santa Ana, will help serve the tables. Mrs. Rensburg is President Harding's sister. The game at Santa Ana between the Fullerton and Santa Ana first teams was announced for Saturday by L. O. Culp, who invited the men of the Board of Trade to attend. He said those who didn't like the game could listen to the band play. Charles E. Thamer reported on the Fullerton hotel campaign, saying that in all $113,000 had been raised, and expressed the fear that unless some special action was taken the spiendid hotel contemplated could not be erected without placing a mortgage on it. He asked instruction and advice. The matter was happily solved later in the meeting. Anaheim Pharmacy will give to the first 200 customers making a purchase of 50c or more on Saturday, Oct. 20th, at 50c bottle of Ze Pyrol, an excellent aid and relief for pyorrhoea.

PAPEETE NEARLY CHINESE PAPEETE, Tahiti Oct. 25—The Chinese have invaded this section of the South Sea islands to such an extent that they have almost run the natives out of real business. Originally the Chinese came to Tahiti as field laborers, but they soon saw an opportunity to engage in small trading and as more and more came to the island they have practically acquired the whole of the retail trade. Their operations have extended to all the islands under the French flag. Papeete has long ago lost its character as a Tahitian or even a French town. There are today more than 8,000 Chinese in the islands and o constant small immigration is steadily increasing their numbers. ISADORA DUNCAN TO PLANS CELLEBRATION OF 101ST BIRTHDAY POPULAR BLUFF, Mo., Oct. 25—Mrs. Sophia Filleus Demeude will celebrate her one hundred and first birthday at Upalika in December.
