Lincoln's Gettysburg Address FOUR SCORE and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we may take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. ANAHEIM AND FULLERTON JOIN ON DECORATION DAY A straight shaft of California granite at Anaheim cemetery is the center of a united observance today of Memorial Day by Anaheim and Fullerton.

On the pedestal at the base of the shaft appears "U. S. A." Decoration of the graves at the cemetery began at an early hour this morning, and soon after nine o'clock flowers were seen everywhere. Private adornment of graves, however, gave way at 9:30 o'clock, when all the patriotic organizations of the two cities joined in procession, led by the Anaheim Municipal Band, and marched to the monument to the accompaniment of the beautiful strains of Chopin's funeral march. Mrs. M. O. Kellogg of Anaheim was the representative of the Mexican War Veterans led the procession. She was followed by the Veterans of the G. A. R., after whom followed the Spanish American war veterans, American Legion posts, led by County Commander William P. Webb, Jr., and Post Commander William Goodrum, the Boy Scouts, Red Cross, Auxiliary of the American Legion, Women's Relief Corps and Daughters of Veterans. On arrival at the monument the band played "Nearer My God to Thee." Rev. Thomas H. Walker, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, gave an eloquent invocation, after which the monument was unveiled by A. T. Steulke, commander of Macdon Hill Post of the G. A. R., F. Jackson, and Commander William Goodrum of the local American Legion Post.

Selections by the band, singing by the junior high school chorus led by Miss Owens, an address by County Commander Webb of the Reading, reading of the Gettysburg address by Miss Alma Barnes and benediction concluded the ceremony. Hard to Tell Value of Pet Dog or Wife "It is hard to tell the value of a pet dog or wife," said Superior Judge R. Y. Williams during a suit over an alredale in his court at Santa Ana. "It all depends on the point of view. To the owner the dog might be priceless. To any one else worth nothing." Later, when attorneys were debating about the value of the dog, Judge Williams broke in with: "You might as well try to figure what a man's wife would be worth. I used to have a dog I valued particularly because he could fight." The suit was one for damages brought by M. L. Simms of Westminster who asked $3,000 from A. J. Fogler for killing the dog. Fogler was awarded costs. The latter brought a cross complaint, asking damages of $2,-001. The basis of his defence and counter action was that the alredale was vicious and several times had threatened him. Horace C. Head and G. K. Scovel of Head, Rutan & Scovel were the attorneys for Fogler and W. F. Mundon represented Simms. ELKS WILL ENJOY VACATION SUITE Anaheim Elk baseball team enjoy a layoff next Sunday ger Billy Knott.

AIN DEPENDENT NEWSPAPER DAILY EVENING THE ORANGE COUNTY AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Tuesday, May 30, 1922 THREATENS DETECTIVE IS CHANGED TO L. A. New Man Succeeds Santa Ana Representative for Nick Harris Agency L. R. James, manager of the Santa Ana office of the Nick Harris Detective Agency of Los Angeles, who was caused by Sheriff C. E. Jackson of being a member of the Ku Klux Klan, has been switched to Los Angeles and then succeeded by R. F. Mills. James, himself, brought a nicely typed announcement of the fact to the office the Plain Dealer, in which he avers that Harris declared in making the change that "he did not wish in any way to cast any reflection upon the honesty and integrity of Mr. James, the latter will be transferred to home office to become division superintendent of his Bureau of Special Investigations." "Mystery Man" of Plain Cities Visits at Orange Famous, Enigmatic Cowboy Cartoonist, Much Curiosity---Explains His Mistake LAST NIGHT, the Mysterious Cowboy Cartoonist, stealthily Anaheim, and within a few moments after his entry, put in an Orange Show. In a transport of great ebullition, the great crowded spacious enclosures of the fantastic, canvas city, gathered about drum and for awhile it was feared that his identity would be discovered was rife as to who this fellow is—was it Tom Mix, or was it Fred? Was it James Montgomery Flagg—or, who in the deuce was it? And guessed again and still the mystery went on. No one knows soon everybody shall find out what he is good for. 69 AUTOISTS ARRESTED BELIE 69 AUTOISTS ARRESTED IN MAY All recorded records of the local police department are believed to have been broken in May, when there were 69 arrests for traffic violations. The appointment of Louis Vokall, motorcycle officer, charged with enforcement of speed and other regulations, is responsible said City Recorder Charley Kuchel. Fines will aggregate more than $500, also a new record. The recorder indicated that the rigid enforcement of laws and ordinances would continue. With additional arrests likely today, the total may mount considerably over the figures given. An improvement in obedience to the law is evident, said the recorder, following the activity of the department. Officers report that drivers are much more careful than they were, that there is less spending and that a large percentage of those held agree not to repeat the offense. Many of the arrests were of persons living out of town, accustomed in other communities to lax enforcement. Certain offenders who were tagged called up the recorder on the long distance telephone, asked the amount of the fine and agreed to send a check to avoid coming to trial. Such calls have come from San Bernardino, Long Beach and elsewhere. Recorder Kuchel warns one and all that a second arrest will mean a double fine and a third one a jail sentence. There will be no letup in the activity of Vokall or any other members of the local police department. Chief of Police N. F. Steadman is backing Kuchel to the limit in the camalgn. A marked decrease in accidents is reported, largely as a result of the recorder and police. $200 REWARDS FOR RECOVERY OF CARS Rewards aggregating $200 have been offered by the Auto Club of So. Calif. for the recovery of four cars, and arrest and conviction of the thieves who took them. The rewards enclosures of the fantastic, canvas city, gathered about drum and for awhile it was feared that his identity would be disrupted was rife as to who this fellow is—was it Tom Mix, or was it Freddy was it James Montgomery Flagg—or, who in the deuce was it? and guessed again and still the mystery went on. No one knows soon everybody shall find out what he is good for. If I should suddenly find myself on the planet Mars, or should it be Saturn with its phantasmagic rings, I could not enter into more agreeable surprise then when my eyes first caught sight of your fairyland and dreamland — your gorgeous Orange Show. I am quite accustomed to seeing unusual sights in my travels about the world, and I sometimes am a little too complimentary about my views on matters of beauty and wonderment. But let me assure you that I speak sincerely when I state that I consider your Orange Show a magnificent spectacle and the like of which I have never seen before. Such colors, such interest, such abundance, such music and such happy, carefree people. Perhaps you are used to these things and to this annual festival, but I could never be—it would always remain the same illuring charm." Thus spoke the cowboy, after commotion his arrival had caused had cleared away. He went on to tell about the work he has planned for himself while in Anaheim. Listen to his stock in trade—it has been highly efficacious wherever tried and never yet has he failed of the desired results. "It is obviously redundant to speak of only prosperity here in Anaheim. Before I was within a thousand miles of your fair city, I was fully aware that this was the one pure, snow-white spot on the may of business activity. You have prosperity, lots of it, and I am not stupid enough to say to you, that I am dealing only in the solitary line of prosperity. Plenty of places that I have visited, needed prosperity—the pure, unadulterated prosperity, but everyone knows that Anaheim has not even suggested the want of prosperity. You have always been prosperous and you always will be. I state these things only as a matter of fact, and I admit that the mere saying so is unnecessary. But I am a voluble sort of a fellow and wherever I go, folks let me rave. You do need something and I am here to help realize that something. What is it? I will tell you—it is this: BELIEDETH John McLean dead in his apartments noon, having since last T mcEachra liv-a by him had been sued some time. law of John brother to hambra, for The body lay the door, went him tying D.E.R.Dudy came at one McEachra his spectacle lying by his washed and read.

Calif. for the recovery of four cars, and arrest and conviction of the thieves who took them. The rewards are part of the club's efforts to cut down thefts which in May aggregated more than 108, compared with 89 recoveries. The final figures are still to be received here, and it is possible that recoveries again may overbalance thefts. The cars are described this way: 1920 seven-passenger Chandler touring car, with dark blue body, black wooden wheels, nickel front bumper and all of the usual extra equipment; 1919 Chandler dispatch car, dark blue body, black wooden wheels, and extra equipment such as motometer etc., 1919 Chandler, black body, gray wire wheels etc.; 1921 Peerless, four-passenger roadster gray body and gray wooden wheels. The Studebaker light six, filled with a picnic lunch, silverware etc. and registered in the name of C. Bruce Thorne of 153 Hill-st, Huntington Park, left early yesterday morning at the Santa Fe station, remains here. The car, in the opinion of Paul Allen, local district manager of the club looks as if it had been stolen by some one who took the train here later. The number is 668.802. The club has communicated with Thorne and his people. An examination of the club's reports received up to today shows that the 108 cars reported stolen were taken on 17 days of the month. This is an average of more than six per day, not counting days when no theft reports were received. CAR PLUNGES OVER BANK Unhurt himself and with only the top of his car smashed, J. Duarte of Huntington Beach, had an extraordinary escape when his car plunged over an embankment near Talbert and he was pinned under it. Duarte was blinded by the glaring headlight of another car. Passersby helped him. I have visited needed prosperity—the pure, unadulterated prosperity, but everyone knows that Anaheim has not even suggested the want of prosperity. You have always been prosperous and you always will be. I state these things only as a matter of fact, and I admit that the mere saying so is unnecessary. But I am a valuable sort of a fellow and wherever I go, folks let me rave. You do need something and I am here to help realize that something. What is it? I will tell you—it is this: Buy-in-Anaheim. Let those be the words on every lip; let every mind carry that constructive thought. "Anaheim, the Service City"—where merchandising assets are as good or better than elsewhere. Take advantage of the splendid offerings of your merchants. Such action will build the city; it will enhance the wealth of the immediate district; increase your home values—make you a partner in the general scheme of Buy-in-Anaheim prosperity. Go to your shops, examine their ware, obtain their prices. You will find many advantages and quality first, and then a price that is consistent with sound merchandising and with a good quality. The dollar spent here, remains here; it comes back to you, it circulates and earns accrued dividends. Spent away, it vanishes—never to return. Watch for my column in the Plain Dealer, from day to day. I will have many things to tell you—(Continued on Page 6) FURTHER DELAY IN CHARTRES PAVING Completion of Chartres-st paving, which has been delayed several weeks, will not be completed for two weeks. Geo. Curtis, Los Angeles contractor, has overhauling the local hot plant and adding new machinery. This will not be completed for several days. It will require about five days to put the two-inch black toppling of asphalt on Chartres-st from Olive to Palm-st. City Manager O. E.

FLASH-LIGHT SETS ABLAZE DECORATION Great Crowd Watching Fashion Show Horrified for Brief Moment What might have proved a conflagration was nipped in the bud last night at the Orange Show, when some of the overhead paper decorations took fire during the Fashion Show performance. A flashlight of one of the prettiest models was being taken when he accident happened. By mere chance the fire did not spread until one of the stage hands had an opportunity of extinguishing it. A moment more and the whole tent might have been ablaze. BELIEVE MAN BELIEVE MAN DEAD SINCE THURSDAY John McEachran, 53, was found dead in his room in the Delaney apartments in Brea Monday afternoon, having it is that, been dead since last Thursday. McEachran was a bachelor, and lived by himself, and, it is stated, had been subject to epileptic fits for some time. He was the brother-in-law of John Spawn of Brena, and a brother to Billy McEachran of Alhambra, formerly of Fullerton. The body was found by Mrs. Selary, the landlady, who unlocked the door, went into the room and found him lying dead in the bed. Constable E. R. Rudy was notified, and he came at once, examining the body. McEachran was cleanly washed, and his goggles and a magazine were lying by his side, as though he had washed and laid down on the bed to read. He was lying flat on his back with his hands clenched at his side. He was swelled almost beyond recognition, and blood had flowed from his nose and mouth. The body was taken to the McAulay funeral parlor in Fullerton, where an inquest was scheduled for 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. It is stated that McEachran was accustomed to come to the pool room in Brea each afternoon for a newspaper, and that he had not been there for the paper since Thursday, from which it is surmised that he must have died Thursday night. ORANGE-CO ROTARY TO BE REPRESENTED Orange-co. will figure strong at the annual International Rotary convention to be held in Los Angeles. The appeal of District Governor Charles B. Billis at meetings of county clubs has had an effect and the members will turn out in force. What might have proved a conflagration was nipped in the bud last night at the Orange Show, when some of the overhead paper decorations took fire during the Fashion Show performance. A flashlight of one of the prettiest models was being taken when he accident happened. By mere chance the fire did not spread until one of the stage hands had an opportunity of extinguishing it. A moment more and the whole tent might have been ablaze. Yesterday saw another tremendous crowd gather. The throng was particularly great at night, when the main tent was packed almost to the doors to watch Miss Jewel Pathe's Bathing Girls' revue. Another feature of the Fashion show was the complete costuming of a pretty blonde model with a single long piece of white chiffon. When her head had been crowned with orange blossoms and a bouquet placed in her hands, a more charming bride could not have been imagined. Today's attendance is expected to equal if not surpass that of any previous day. Commenting upon the citrus fruit competition, Tom Anderson, veteran representative of the American Fruit Growers Inc., which won the Valencia sweepstakes, said he had never in all his long experience seen keener competition. Anderson has won the sweepstakes for his company at both of the Valencia Orange shows at the four last National Orange shows in San Bernardino and at the Visalia show last fall. Anderson also voiced his appreciation of the good fellowship manifested. He was threatened with appendicitis, and when his rivals learned of it he had a dozen callers, he said, who offered aid. With the marshaling of all the artistic forces of the Exposition, thrown into one grand gala program tonight, the Second Annual California Orange Show will close with a glorious flourish. It is quite probable that wee sma' hours of tomorrow will still find a few thousand confetti-clogged visitors still engaged in the frenzied finale. Besides the executants who made the show so enticing by the high quality of their work, "Jazz" Klein will bring on eleven celebrated entertainers in a frolic and Revue Des Chansons, programs of which have already been published and distributed. This Revue will be presented three times today, at 3, 9 and 11, the last performance culminating in a confetti battle. Orange exhibitors have requested that the crowds refrain from throwing oranges in this battle, but no other missiles are excluded. The crowd last night was so dense around the bandstand that oranges in several exhibits were trampled under foot. Miss Ruth Mitchell, the ORANGE-CO ROTARY TO BE REPRESENTED Orange-co. will figure strong at the annual International Rotary convention to be held in Los Angeles. The appeal of District Governor Charles B. Bills at meetings of county clubs has had an effect and the members will turn out in force. Yesterday, following the regular luncheon meeting at the Elks' clubhouse, joint committees of the clubs of Santa Ana, Orange and Anaheim met and discussed plans. Delegates to the convention, who will number about 15,000, already have begun to swarm into the metropolis for the meeting, which will open Thursday and continue until the following Wednesday. The delegates represent 1200 clubs, located not only in the United States, but in 27 countries of the world. Put the Golden Rule to work in business—this is the club's motto. Trains from the East and Mid-West and steamers from the north are bringing delegates by the score to Los Angeles. The Golden Rule and Christian principles in business were advocated by C. C. Chapman in an eloquent address before the local club yesterday. Right thinking, right living and right acting, with courtesy toward customers and unselfishness toward business rivals are the secrets for successful business in any city, he said. S. C. Hartranft discussed the technical code of Rotary. SPARKS BUYS STUDEBAKER E. A. Sparks of Anaheim has purchased a special Studebaker six touring car of Harry D. Riley, distributor for Fullerton, Orange and Anaheim and their vicinities. A. A. Ambrose also has purchased a car of Riley. BOY BITTEN BY MONKEY The five-year-old son of Roland Stearns of Tustin had a finger cut nearly to the bone by a monkey in Birch park, which he was feeding. ATTEMPT TO JIMMY LEWIS’ WINDOWS Indications of an attempted burglary at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lewis, corner of Zoyn and Sycamore, were apparent this morning, when marks of a Jimmy were found on a rear window. Apparently the plans were frustrated, as nothing was missing from the house. Police were notified and are investigating.
