Of course you don't. Even your give you honest currency or make good any count which by chance might be tendered you. It is unwise to promise to advertise in a public condition that Tom, Dick or Harry, or all three, Stand on your own feet, men, and if the publication not worth the money, pretends to be something which doesn't lay all its cards on the table, don't use it. Of course, publications are not the only type medium used here and in many another town in So.Culent purposes. The Merchants' Assn. has a committee of three—the record of every company or agent trying to sell of a misplaced sort, and don't spend your good money have their assurance of the merit of the scheme.

U. W. Co. offices, a committee of three was appointed to attend a hearing in Pasadena next Monday night by the consulting board on state water resources investigation to present the claims of Orange-co. Teutons Granted New Payment Plan CANNES, Jan. 13.—A provisional moratorium for Germany was decided on by the reparations committee of the supreme council before its adjournment, it was announced today. Germany will not have to pay the 500,000,000 to 700,000,000 gold marks originally demanded on Jan. 15, but must present a new plan for payment. Guarantees of financial reform must also be given by the Germans. While the provisional moratorium is in effect pending a new arrangement for payments, the Germans must pay $81,000,000 gold marks each 10 days. This is designed to speed up the Germans in arriving at a new plan for payments. REFUSES TO DRINK, DIES FROM BEATING Sidnam Realty So. have completed the sale of 160 feet fronting on North Lemon-at in the Owens & Jones tract, the new subdivision being opened by Eygahroad & Fisher. The purchaser is Mr. M. Steinman, a Pittsburgh, Pa., business man and an uncle of M. A. Maxwell, well known local resident. Mr. Steinman will begin immediately the erection of a duplex court containing 15 rentals of five rooms each, the plans now being drawn calling for high-class construction such as hardwood floors, tile baths, with general construction equally good. Mr. Maxwell, who will have charge of construction, states that this court will cost in the neighborhood of $60,000.00 and will embody the latest features of this type of building. It is stated that Dr. D. Steinman, a son of M. Steinman, and also of Pittsburg, plans to make Anaheim his home in the very near future. HAS EVIDENCE OF CIGARET SELLING R. R. Miller, county probation officer, has already obtained all the evidence he requires for the prosecution of local store that have sold cigarettes to minors, it was learned on good authority today, and his visit here, which will be soon, will be merely for the purpose of making a round of the tobacco stores involved. One of these is a store found guilty on a former occasion that since has changed hands. Besides prosecuting offenders and enforcing the law more thoroughly the boys themselves can be taken in hand and their parents or guardians warned, but it is against the policy of the probation office to punish or administer legal correction to the boys if it can possibly be avoided. A good deal of indiscriminate selling of cigarettes to minors has been going on in town by various stores for some time past. According to Section 208 the Penal Code, 16 years is the minimum age at which juniors may be sold tobacco, and ignorance of any particular of the law is no excuse. The seller must be sure before he makes the sale. Illegal selling is a misdemeanor and punishable by a fine not to exceed $100.00 for each offense. VET'S AID DEPENDS UPON BOND ISSUE Unless the $10,000,000 state bond issue is adopted at the election next fall, only a fraction of Orange-co. applicants for aid under the Farm and Home Site act will get any help from Sacramento, County Commander William P. Webb, Jr., said this morning. The $2,000,000 appropriation is entirely inadequate. Webb said the work of classifying applicants was not yet finished at the capital, although many of the 100 ex-service men in the Anaheim district. At a meeting of the water conservation committee of Orange-co growers this afternoon in A. U. W. Co. offices, a committee of three was appointed to attend a hearing in Pasadena next Monday night by the consulting board on state water resources investigation to present the claims of Orange-co. The committee consists of J. J. Dwyer, Anaheim, Horace C. Head, of Santa Ana and C. E. Utt, of Tustin. The specific nature and extent of claims which they will offer will be determined among themselves following the discussion at today's meeting. This state investigation is 60 or 70 pet finished, G. W. Sherwood, a representative of the Tri-Counties Reforestation committee to the hearing, said this afternoon. The investigation is being conducted by 14 engineers of the state of whom four are from Los Angeles. The engineers are pushing the work of surveying available sites or dams and reservoirs as rapidly as possible. Passage of the resolution followed a protracted debate in which it was shown that the budget of the board of supervisors of Orange-co would not be completed before next July. Whatever appropriation the supervisors might make in aid of the investigation for storage or other dams in the county would not be available until next December. The matter of taking action to have a U. S. geological survey assist the Orange-co committee was put off for the same reason. G. W. Sherwood will also aid the committee in its work of presenting the county's claims at Pasadena. H. E. Lewis of Tustin, secretary of the Orange-co committee, is an alternate on the committee to go to Pasadena. The Pasadena hearing is the only one which claims of So. Cal counties outside of the San Diego vicinity can be presented. It was brot out today that much of the preliminary work in Orange-co had already been done. It seemed to be the sense of the committee that a casual investigation of possible sites for dams be made before seeking assistance of the board of supervisors. Sherwood read the resolutions passed at the Tri-Counties Reforestation committee meeting at Riverside yesterday. About 20 were present this afternoon. Chairman J. F. Alhborn of the A. C. of C. conservation committee, presided. C. E. Utt, large citrus grower of Tustin, declared ranchers of the county were facing bankruptcy unless some action was taken at once. Utt and Sherwood called attention to the work late H. Clay Kellogg had done in making boram. While the provisional moratorium is in effect pending a new arrangement for payments, the Germans must pay $81,000,000 gold marks each 10 days. This is designed to speed up the Germans in arriving at a new plan for payments. REFUSES TO DRINK, DIES FROM BEATING Jose Morano, the Mexican who was fatally beaten up by Francisco Pirez, Emilio García and Francisco Laguna, on the night of Sept. 30, 1921, died of blood poisoning as the result of the beating, a coroner's jury at Santa Ana reported yesterday afternoon. District Attorney B.P. Nelson is in doubt whether to prefer a charge of murder or manlaughter against the trito. Pirez has not yet been caught. Morano was assaulted, following his refusal to take a drink offered by one of the three. The facts in the case did not come out until Morano was brought to the Orange-co hospital later part of last week in a desperate condition. García and Laguna are now in the county jail, pending an investigation by Nelson for further facts and circumstances in the matter. UNWED MOTHERS ARE DENOUNCED CHICAGO, Jan. 13—"What right has civilization to blight the unmarried mother by ostracism?" asked Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver, who is visiting here today.

FIERCE BATTLE BY BRITISH IN INDIA LONDON, Jan. 13—Despite official assertions that the Moplah rebellion has been put down in the Mallabar district of India, word was received today from Allahabad that a battle had been fought near Totakad between the Indians and British troops with heavy casualties. VET'S AID DEPENDS UPON BOND ISSUE Unless the $10,000,000 state bond issue is adopted at the election next fall, only a fraction of Orange-co. applicants for aid under the Farm and Home Site act will get any help from Sacramento, County Commander William P. Webb, Jr., said this morning. The $2,000,000 appropriation is entirely inadequate. Webb said the work of classifying applicants was not yet finished at the capital, although many of the 100 ex-service men in the Anaheim district have received the cards issued for purpose of identification, assigning applicants their numbers. This district appears to be almost entirely cleaned up now, Webb says. The Santa Ana post commander of the American Legion also has received a large number of applications for aid.

Removal of Anaheim The removal of the postoffice from its present location in the building of H.A. Dickel to the new Eisenhauer block, is a reminder of the way Anaheim has grown in the past 18 years. Mrs. R.L.Coons, assistant postmaster to her mother, Mrs.M.J.Gardiner, during the latter's term, 1893-97, says originally this office took in Olive on the east. Orbya on the northeast, Placentia, Garden Grove, Cypress and even Los Alamitos, to say nothing about a lot of miscellaneous territory south and southeast of the present city. The then new building was one of the first business blocks near Lemon and W. Center-st. Practically the only others were the old Deutsch block, Bennerscheldt's tin shop and the old Cassou-bldg. It is now a landmark of the town. The removal of the office tomorrow depends upon the arrival of the transoms. If they do not come, there will be another delay. The former postoffice was in the Central block on E. Center-st. When the office was moved Lemon-st had a fine row of pepper trees upon it. DEALER THE COUNTY WHEN THRU WITH YOUR PLAIN DEALER, MAIL IT TO EASTERN FRIENDS—IT MAY BRING THEM TO ANAHEIM, FASTEST GROWING CITY IN ORANGE-CO. TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR ARK PLAN PROPOSE SALE OF HALF SITE FOR TOTAL COST The city of Anaheim today was given the opportunity to eat its apple and still have half of it left with fancy trimmings added. About 16 months ago, Anaheim voters approved a $100,000 bond issue for park purposes. The sum was spent for 20 acres between Lemon and Palm-sts north of Cypress-st. Today, George W. Hamler, former councilman and real estate man, made a proposition to City Manager O. E. Steward by which he guarantees the city $100,000, for improvement of ten acres, from the sale of lots in the other ten acres. "By this plan," said Hamler, "the city still has ample ground for an inside park and the funds are provided for its immediate improvement. You won't find a city anywhere in So. Cal. that devotes 20 acres to park purposes almost in its center. Many voters considered the library." City Manager Steward displayed marked interest in the proposition. He agreed that it would probably be years before funds would be available for park improvements without a bond issue unless some such advantageous sale of city property was made. Today, George W. Hamler, former councilman and real estate man, made a proposition to City Manager O. E. Steward by which he guarantees the city $100,000, for improvement of ten acres, from the sale of lots in the other ten acres. "By this plan," said Hamler, "the city still has ample ground for an inside park and the funds are provided for its immediate improvement. You won't find a city anywhere in So. Cal. that devotes 20 acres to park purposes almost in its center. Many voters considered the library site, with about 4 1-2 acres, was simple for an inside park. Certainly ten acres would be plenty big enough, and the upkeep would be divided in half. "If the city doesn't do something of this kind, matters will drag along for years before Anaheim can have park improvements. It has been 16 months since the park was authorized and scarcely a start has been made. There are no adequate funds available and a bond issue will be necessary." "Certainly it is good business for the city to sell ten acres now for $100,000, the price paid for 20 acres so recently. The city may keep the more desirable half, that facing Lemon-st, permitting a subdivision on the west half which faces Palm-st. "Another point, with the paving of Palm-st., making a straight street clear thru Fullerton, one of the most famous highways and business streets in So. Cal. will be established. It would be a detriment to such an en- LEVY FUND UP TO RANCHERS "It is now certain that Anahelm will raise $18,000, its quota of the $40,000 flood control fund," is declared today by Charles Eygbarol, chairman of the finance committee. "It is now up to the ranchers to raise their share and assure the culmination of the protect work." By Anaheim's voluntary subscriptions, ranchers are saved practically half of what it would cost the ranchers if a district were formed. "The generous offer of the S. P. and Santa Fe railways to loan their engineers in drafting plans for the work makes certain that the money will be wisely spent and practically impregnable levee work will be accomplished. Santa Fe officers have told us they would rather contribute $5,000 for permanent protective measures than to give $1000 for temporary work. We believe $40,000 will be sufficient for a permanent job. However, if it is not, we are assured of additional subscriptions from the Santa Fe.

The two, who are in charge of the district's canvassers, reported not a single refusal to subscribe among the growers in the territory, which is bounded by North-st, the Olive-rd, Placentia-ave and the river. In addition a check was received this morning by Secretary Malcom Fraser of the C. of C. from the Union Oil Co. for $200. Removal Reminder Anaheim’s Growth and there was a five-foot ditch on Cypress-st, the main irrigation ditch of the ranchers. Oranges long had been raised here, but the growers were unorganized and at the mercy of the commission merchants who would not guarantee the sale of the fruit, to say nothing about the prices. S. Littlefield was the postmaster when the office was moved 18 years ago. His terms were 1897-1905. One of the features of the new postoffice will be several lookouts to be used by inspectors for the detection of any criminality that may occur on the part of employees. These lookouts are a regular part of every modern postoffice. Ordinarily they are not required except on very rare occasions, but when they are needed they are needed. There are four, with steps leading up to them from an outside door and they are built so that workers below would not commonly detect the presence of the inspector above. The government has allowed for the expected growth of the local office during the next few years and space as well as every facility has been afforded in the new office. CALIF.
