XXV—NO. 134 URGES THREE CITIES JOIN HANDS Anaheim, Santa Ana and Long Beach Should Cooperate, Says Henry P. Barker "Pull together." This is the message brought by Henry P. Barker, president of the Long Beach Realty Board, to the local board. Barber made an extended speech last night at the weekly meeting of the Anaheim board, principally in the interest of better co-operation among realtors of Anaheim, Santa Ana and Long Beach and in behalf of next week's state convention in Oakland. He said he hoped for some get-together meetings of realtors of the three cities later in the evening Barber said efforts would be made at the Oakland Scientists Will See Eclipse in Australia BERKELEY, Cal., Jan. 11.

Hoag received word late last evening of the death of his father. "Pull together." This is the message brought by Henry P. Barker, president of the Long Beach Reality Board, to the local board. Barber made an extended speech last night at the weekly meeting of the Anaheim board, principally in the interest of better co-operation among realtors of Anaheim, Santa Ana and Long Beach and in behalf of next week's state convention in Oakland. He said he hoped for some get-together meetings of realtors of the three cities later in the evening Barber said efforts would be made at the Oakland meeting to have the law changed so that only realtors engaged in the real estate business alone could obtain license. E. S. Acres, secretary of the Long Beach board, told the history of the present board there, which owes its success he said mainly to President Barber and C. W. Cadieux, a member, made a few remarks. The local board, after a protracted discussion, decided to retain both the open and exclusive forms of listing already decided upon. Barber, in his speech, which was entirely informal, said one way of bringing Anaheim, Santa Ana and Long Beach together was to help Santa Ana get the 1923 state convention. Another way is to hold meetings and discuss common interests. He said he hoped within the next few months to invite both of the other boards over to Long Beach. Long Beach still opposes city and county consolidation in Los Angeles county, he said. If the oil derricks keep busy, Long Beach may have to extend its boundaries and become part of Orange county, he remarked. Recently, the city's bank clearings stood third or fourth in the state. The city's assessed valuation in 1920 was $80,000,000, and in 1922 should be over $100,000,000. The Long Beach board, he declared, had made it a point to mix in civic affairs, and not confine its activities strictly to its own. Harbor development was one of the projects which it had pushed. Extension of the city's limits will be the next item on the program. Anaheim, he said, could have a population of 20,000,000 in a very few years, if the city put cooperation first. The Long Beach board boosted its membership from twenty-one to more than 200. The board there is already planning to show realtors en route to the national convention in June at San Francisco, the beauties and advantages of the southland. The visitors who come via Los Angeles will be taken in automobiles through several counties, according to plans, and Barber said he hoped the Anaheim and Santa Ana boards would join in this project also. The Long Beach board will open a headquarters for the entertainment of the visitors. Eight to ten thousand realtors from the United States and Canada are expected at this June gathering. The Long Beach plan for June will ment will place a special vessel at the disposal of the scientists for the landing. To make preliminary observations Dr. R. J. Prumpler will sail March 31, while the main expedition will go July 18. COMPTON MAN, WELL KNOWN HERE, DIES T. L. Hoag received word late last evening of the death of his father, P. E. Hoag, of Compton. The deceased was 78 years old and was an old time resident of Compton, he has been confined to his bed for 18 month. Death was caused from hardening of the arteries. Mr. Hoag was a retired director of the Compton Bank and has a host of friends besides the bereaved relatives to mourn his departure. A widow, two sons and a brother and sister survive. Mr. Hoag and his brother and sister were the last of 12 children in their family. Mr. Hoag was well-known in Anaheim and the community is sorry to hear of his death. SANTA ANA WOMEN PUSHING BOND ISSUE With parent-teacher associations of Santa Ana organizing for active work in behalf of the $250,000 primary school bonds to be voted Thursday, the Santa Ana board of education has prepared complete plans for getting rosters out to the polls in order to carry the issue by a large majority. In event the bonds carry $120,000 will be devoted to the erection of a new building on the northwest corner of Sycamore and Church streets, Santa Ana, to contain at least twelve school rooms with additional rooms for the school administration. The new sturcture will supplant the present wood building on the site a school house that has done service for 25 years or longer, and which at times has been declared unsafe.

The visitors who come via Los Angeles will be taken in automobiles through several counties, according to plans, and Barber said he hoped the Anaheim and Santa Ana boards would join in this project also. The Long Beach board will open a headquarters for the entertainment of the visitors. Eight to ten thousand realtors from the United States and Canada are expected at this June gathering. The Long Beach plan for June will be launched next week at the Oakland convention. In remarks later Barber said that steps would be taken at the Oakland convention to make realtor a stronger, and more exclusive term. Secretary E. S. Acres said the Long Beach board was a section of the Chamber of Commerce. He himself somewhat regretted that the board had not remained an independent body. Five hundred members is the goal which President Barber has set, he said, and Barber interrupted him with, "And we'll get them, too." Acres said Long Beach had largely succeeded in keeping the title of realtor to realtors. The matter of rates was mentioned in connection with the question of how many members of the local would attend the Oakland meeting. The second section of the Owl on the Southern Pacific Wednesday night has been declared the official train for the convention. The rate is one and one-third times a single fare for the round trip. The Harvard and Yale, of the Los Angeles Steamship Company, offer a round trip for $35. Ladies with members get the same rates. Bert V. Beebe is the only Anaheim who has decided to go but there are four other members who may attend. President J. S. Howard was able Continued on Uage 5) BUILDING PERMITS J. S.

Departments of state, labor and commerce have united to find out why prices remain high. Attorney General Daugherty, Secretary Davis and Secretary Hoover will confer in a day or two. Meanwhile the criminal and secret service divisions of the departments of labor and justice will be co-ordinated to hunt down the profiteers. Daugherty has already taken these steps: 1. Summoning federal and state officers to a conference in New York to agree on a concrete program to be applied all over the country. 2. Started an investigation into the cost of building materials. 3.

Every branch of business where necessities are on sale will be included. Meats, groceries, clothing, grain, livestock, cotton, wool, freights, lumber, produce, milk, bread and many other articles and commodities will be looked into.
