News of Fullerton FULLERTON EDITOR HAS FEW REMARKS (Fullerton News) A great many Fullerton people do a considerable portion of their buying in Anaheim and Los Angeles. This is a fact which has been commented on many times and is by no means a secret. Just why this situation exists is a matter we are not going into at this time. What interests us just now is why an Anaheim newspaper will try to rti: up trouble in Fullerton which must result in feeling against Anaheim and thus harm the advertisers who support that paper. A few days ago the Anaheim Herald, a paper printed in Anaheim and owned by the same man who runs the Los Angeles Express, printed a long story about the Fullerton hotel situation. The article entirely misrepresented the situation and contained a number of false statements but this is not important since the Herald does not circulate in Fullerton except in so far as it is given away with the Los Angeles Express. The interesting feature of the thing is what the Anaheim merchants will think of an attempt to stir up trouble in a field they have been industriously cultivating. It seems to us, if we were in the position of wooing business from this section, that we would use honey instead of vinegar. Of course the explanation is that the Herald, being under absentee ownership, is run by employees whose only interest is a "story," regardless of who is hurt or helped, and whose vision is bounded by the pay check handed out on Saturday night. This will, of course please the Fullerton merchants but the comment of the Anaheim dealers would be interesting to hear. The other Anaheim paper, the Plain Dealer, is apparently much wiser in its day and generation. Instead of stirring up trouble it treats Fullerton affairs with the most distinguished consideration. Of course, the Plain Dealer is han- TWO FIRE DEPTS. UNITE AT BANQUET Fullerton firemen were the guests of the Anaheim fire department at a banquet given last night at the Fullerton water station about halfway between the two cities. The honor was accorded the Fullerton firemen in appreciation of the assistance rendered in the fire some time ago near Randolph packing house, when a lot of hay belonging to John Cook was burned. TWO FIRES SINCE SATURDAY Fullerton fire department reports two fires since Saturday, one in the gulch northwest of Fullerton, and the other in the Gregory apartments. There was practically no damage in either case. CHILDREN'S PARTY SATURDAY There will be a children's party held at the home of Mrs. G. W. Sherwood, 5 Chapman-ave on Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. A committee consisting of Mrs. McAuley, Mrs. Hampton and Mrs. Boyce will be in charge of the entertainment. YULETIDE SEASON HERE The down-town sections of Fullerton are beginning to resemble the yuletide season. With only 12 days more till Christmas the store windows are decorated with Christmas goods. Postmaster Blackford states that Christmas shipments are going good, and that it is expected to increase in rapid strides as the Christmas season nears. NEW STORE OPENS WEDNESDAY The Emporium will open at its new place of business at the corner of No. Spadra-rd and Amerige-ave tomorrow, it is announced. The building, which was formerly occupied by the Central Garage, has just been made ready for the business establishment, improvements having just been completed. 30 DAYS EACH FOR 5 HOBOES Five hoboes were arrested last night by the Fullerton police, and brot before Judge French this morning. Each was sentenced to 30 days in the county jail, sentences being suspended. They were: Rand Miller... only interest is a "story," regardless of who is hurt or helped, and whose vision is bounded by the pay check handed out on Saturday night. This will, of course please the Fullerton merchants but the comment of the Anaheim dealers would be interesting to hear. The other Anaheim paper, the Plain Dealer, is apparently much wiser in its day and generation. Instead of stirring up trouble it treats Fullerton affairs with the most distinguished consideration. Of course, the Plain Dealer is handled by its owners not by employees, which may explain the difference in policy of the two papers. The matter is an Anaheim affair in which Fullerton has not an academic interest but it is of interest as a study in human nature. Nothing is ever gained by getting two towns into a fight, any more than there is in a newspaper fight. We used to live in St. Paul and for years we watched the old feud between St. Paul and Minneapolis, the two cities which are built adjoining each other and it seems to us both towns have lost by the unending bickering and squabbling. Mr. I. D. Taylor will leave tonight over the Santa Fe for Miami, Florida. The Emporium will open at its new place of business at the corner of No. Spadra-rd and Amerige-ave tomorrow, it is announced. The building, which was formerly occupied by the Central Garage, has just been made ready for the business establishment, improvements having just been completed. 30 DAYS EACH FOR 5 HOBOES Five hoboes were arrested last night by the Fullerton police, and brot before Judge French this morning. Each was sentenced to 30 days in the county jail, sentences being suspended. They were: Rand Miller, Roy Able, Lander McBain, Conrad Fertig and Clark Byars. C. R. Pleasant was also arrested on the charge of felony and embezzlement, and taken to the county jail, it was learned at the marshal's office.

Call at George Dunton's and learn what it is. Big Meet of Ranchers Called for Sat., Dec. 17 Realizing that only by the closest cooperation can profitable results be obtained and that many peculiar climatic and soil conditions exist in different districts of Southern California, many groups of ranchers and orchardists have made arrangements for a comprehensive study of their peculiar problems. Since the late tractor and implement show at the State Fair, the tractor and implement firms, who have made a specialty of designing tools to meet the requirements of conditions in Southern California, have been besieged with requests from different groups of progressive ranchers to aid them in solving the peculiar requirements of each district. The ranchers of this vicinity have secured the cooperation of the Holt Mfg. Co., the Killefer Mfg. Co. JURY MAY DRIVE TO BEVERLY GLEN HOME LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13.—In an effort to refute the evidence given by two prosecution witnesses who gave particularly damaging testimony, the attorneys defending Arthur C. Burch, on trial for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, may ask Superior Judge Reeve to permit the jurors in the case to travel in automobiles over the route alleged to have been taken by Burch on the night of the slaying, it developed today. According to the defense attorneys there is a discrepancy between the mileage registered on the speedometer of the machine Burch rented that night and the mileage of the distance prosecution witnesses have testified he covered. The tour by the jurors, which the defense attorneys may propose, would also include a visit to the spot on the road at Santa Monica where a prosecution witness testified he encountered Burch 20 minutes after Kennedy was killed. While the tread on the tires of the automobile rented by Burch on the night of the slaying were being fitted, by prosecution testimony, into the tire tread marks found at the scene of the murder, it became known today that Burch's uncle, George H. Erridge, will be called as a witness against him. GAS IGNITES AS WELL COMES IN LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13.—Sending flames hundreds of feet into the air Wilbur Well No. 1 of the Shell Oil Co. on Signal Hill, near Long Beach, was burning fiercely today while workmen prepared lines of steam and mud in an effort to extinguish the blaze. One workman, W. T. Chichester, 33, a driller of 454 Magnolia-ave, Long Beach, was severely burned about the face and arma by the fire. The driller was close to the well when the gas ignited and was unable to reach a place of safety in time to avoid injury. He was removed to the Seaside hospital and attended by Dr. Walter Smallwood. City Briefs Mrs. Nora Crowley has been making a visit in Huntington Beach lately with her sister, Mrs. Wm. Campbell, and family.

Mrs. William Lake and Mrs.C.D.Horro Since the late tractor and implement show at the State Fair, the tractor and implement firms, who have made a specialty of designing tools to meet the requirements of conditions in Southern California, have been besieged with requests from different groups of progressive ranchers to aid them in solving the peculiar requirements of each district. The ranchers of this vicinity have secured the cooperation of the Holt Mfg. Co., the Killefer Mfg. Co. and the Dixon & Griswold Co. of Los Angeles and they expect to solve some of their problems. The Field Meet will be held at Fullerton on the W. M. Knepp ranch, Spadra road and Orange thorpe drive, Saturday, Dec. 17, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.—one day only. The deep tillage tools of the Killefer Mfg. Co., the Sub-Soiler, Cultivator and Disc Harrow; and the La Crosse Orchard Disc and Mold Board Plows of the Dixon & Griswold Co., have all been designed and built especially to meet the requirements of California ranchers and are in fact the ideas of prominent California ranchers. The Holt Mfg. Co.'s new small Caterpillar tractor, that will be used to operate the tools at the coming Field Meet, is also a distinctive California product. These manufacturers, through their extensive service departments, work in conjunction with the ranchers and often adopt practical suggestions from the ranchers in the designing of their tools. The H. G. Pendall Company of Los Angeles will use one Denby Truck and two trailers to transport a complete assortment of tools, together with two caterpillar tractors, to the big Field Meet. Splendid results have been secured by Northern California farmers during the last two months from the field meetings held in the different localities. The ranchers are working on the assumption that all doubts are removed as to the actual results to be accomplished by tractors and tools, when work can be done on the ranchers' own land. Wilbur Well No. 1 of the Shell Oil Co. on Signal Hill, near Long Beach, was burning fiercely today while workmen prepared lines of steam and mud in an effort to extinguish the blaze. One workman, W. T. Chichester, 23, a driller of 454 Magnolia-ave, Long Beach, was severely burned about the face and arms by the fire. The driller was close to the well when the gas ignited and was unable to reach a place of safety in time to avoid injury. He was removed to the Seaside hospital and attended by Dr. Walter Smallwood-He will recover. Witman, Eyesight Specialist, Every Circle Must Have a Center THE HEARTH is the center of the family circle. What more pleasing or fitting center for YOUR family circle than a glowing fire framed by a beautiful mantle? America has somewhat neglected its domestic architecture in the past, largely because the country is young. It is, generally speaking, without traditions, a most important element in any architectural expression. How many houses built twenty, yes, even ten years ago, would you want to own and live in? Are not many of them "out of style?" Few of them have been designed to stand the severest test of all—the criticism of future generations. No matter how small or how large your house may be, whether new or old, tell us your ideas, your desires, your troubles. Our business is to help our customers build the kind of homes that become an increasing source of satisfaction. Young Sash and Door Co. 418 S. Lemon St. Anaheim, California R. B. YOUNG Mgr.
