WHEN THRU WITH YOUR PLAIN DEALER, MAIL IT TO EASTERN FRIENDS—IT MAY BRING THEM TO ANAHEIM, FASTEST GROWING CITY IN ORANGE COUNTY. Plain LEADING NEW VOL. XXV—NO. 253 Buy in Anaheim and G-R-E-A-T-E-R PROSPERITY By the Mysterious Cowboy Citrusly" speaking, I find myself happier every minute I spend in this charming place. And so this is the baby metropolis. I realized that fact, the first half hour I was in town. Such babes—roly poly, bright-eyed, dimpled as to almost make you want to devour as of a tempting vand; all sweet and pretty—tell me how do you come to monopolize such supreme, cooling happiness? I saw one little tot in her go-cart—smiling as to suggest a "breath of heaven," nestled in its dainty baby repose and completely surrounded by those golden Valencia oranges. The effect was paradise—yet it is a common sight here in your fair city. I am going to write more about the babes—send me baby letters and tell me all about your little darlings and why they thrive and grow so beautiful. There must be a secret—such babies I have never seen before. I wonder if my readers are amused or aggrudged. I hope they are increasing. I know my savings are. But honest, folks, why not read this prattle daily. The advantages are obvious. I will take you along with me for little journeys through your 70 ACCIDENTS FATAL HERE IN 2 YEARS 38 Deaths Due to Motors, Coroner Brown Reports to Auto Club Out of 70 fatal accidents in Orange-co. during 1920 and 1921, 38 were due to motor driven vehicles, Coroner C. D. Brown reported today to the Auto Club of So. Calif., at whose request the coroner investigated the record. Of the 38 persons killed, 20 were pedestrians of bicyclists who were hit by cars. The other 32 fatalities out of the 70 were due to a variety of miscellaneous causes. So far this year, the report of the coroner continues, there have been 15 fatalities of which only four have involved motor driven vehicles. By motor driven vehicles is meant automobiles and motorcycles. The report appears to indicate that Orange county has witnessed a remarkably limited number of accidents due to autos and motorcycles. The Auto Club of So. Calif. has not yet compiled figures to show how the county stands in comparison with other counties, but in December au- effect was paradise—yet it is a common sight here in your fair city. I am going to write more about the babes—send me baby letters and tell me all about your little darlings and why they thrive and grow so beautiful. There must be a secret—such babes I have never seen before. I wonder if my readers are amused or aguated. I hope they are increasing. I know my savings are. But honest, folks, why not read this prattie daily. The advantages are obvious. I will take you along with me for little journeys through your city and stores and show you how dark and devious are the ways of a mysterious cowboy. You say there is nothing new to learn about? That is not true—I am a slick fellow and I find out new things every day, no matter if those things are about yourself and your family, but I am not dangerous—I am as gentle as a lamb. I have something up my sleeve—find out what that something is. Horrors! Some folks are confounding me with the Ku Klux movement, or should I say, retrogression. That is an unpardonable blunder. You may be assured that if this cowboy ever gets to doing any night riding it will be of the Paul Revere variety—not of the poltroon crowd—I "kan keep klean klandestinely without carrying a klangle or a klub." Some of your wise merchants have told me that Anaheim has been set and timed to reach the 25,000 population goal by 1925. That is a splendid program and that it will be accomplished. I have no doubt. This city strikes me much the same as a great athlete—the track and in the king of condition, ready to go for a world record in the "century" race—but the fellow that fires the gun for the start is not present. I have nominated myself as the chief gunner for this race. I'm the cowboy who can do the firing. Let 'er go. You have set a conservative figure for your population within the next three years—yet, I consider it prudent not to be over sanguine in matters of this kind. Anaheim has the background for a large metropolitan center and Anaheim is wise to be content with a steady, healthful growth. With such a setting, in some places they would be working for a hundred thousand within the same space of time, but that is the mushroom stuff, and very generally it suffers serious setbacks. I have seen so much since I came here that I am afraid that I will never get through talking about it. But don't worry—I'm only allowed so much space every day, and the kind editor will see to it that my ravings do not corrupt or annihilate the community. Since Art Brisbane has decided not to go to Europe this summer (I think he is fearful of the Genoa spotted fever) I hope he will see some of IMPERIAL SHIPPING FIRST CANTALOUPES The cantaloupe crop from the Imperial Valley, one of the most serious sources of competition that valencia oranges have, will be concentrated this season and offer less rivalry than in past years, according to present indications. The first cantaloupes by express left the valley yesterday, said Manager G. W. Sandilands, of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Assn., today. The peak of the shipments will be reached June 15. The plan of the shipping associations, therefore, to stretch out valencia shipments as long as possible, will not be interfered with, so far as canteloupes are concerned. Fifty-one shippers are in the pool this year or 20 more than last year. The total acreage this year of Colorado cantaloupes will be around 12,000, according to dispatches from Rocky Ford. Deciduous fruit shipments from California again will break all records, estimates being now 50,000 to 55,000 cars, compared with 40,308 cars in 1921 and 35,420 in 1920. Grapes, as last year, will show the big jump. Plums and pears will not vary much from the 1921 shipments. Fruit shipments have just begun. 90 WILL GRADUATE FROM JUNIOR HIGH About 90 pupils will receive diplomas due to a variety of miscellaneous causes.

The Auto Club of So. Calif. has not yet compiled figures to show how the county stands in comparison with other counties, but in December automobile accidents generally, regardless of whether they proved fatal or not, numbered only 145 compared with 127 in December, 1920, an increase much smaller both absolutely and by percentage compared with certain other counties. The property loss increased only from $3,486.18 to $3,644.02. In Los Angeles-co., on the other hand, due admittedly almost solely to the metropolis, the number of accidents jumped from 491 to 670 and the property loss from $13,958.75 to $15,872.25.

INJURED CYCLE RECOVERY Ernest Irwin, who broken right leg in near Corona about two is improving very nicely I have seen so much since I came here that I am afraid that I will never get through talking about it. But don't worry—I'm only allowed so much space every day, and the kind editor will see to it that my ravings do not corrupt or annihilate the community. Since Art Brisbane has decided not to go to Europe this summer (I think he is fearful of the Genoa spotted fever) I hope he will see some of my column stuff. It will give him an idea how to improve his style, and then he may get thoroughly onto himself and come to live in Anaheim, where columnists don't have to wear moccasins in the winter and sandals in July. In the shops yesterday I noticed how the public is now demanding dollar for dollar in values. The live wire merchants of this city know that, and never before has the customer received so much for the money as today. BUY-IN-ANAHEIM—it is your duty to do so, especially since you cannot improve upon your local purchasing advantages. Manufacturing standards are being improved, and every penny of waste is being eliminated clear down the line. Take that fact and couple it with nimum overhead and you are not led to pay Forty-second and midway rates in good old Anaheim. And therefore I say again and again, "this be your motto from now on."

THE THERMOMOM Minimum 56 at 6 a.m., Maximum 62 at 10 a.m. AIN DEAL READING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Thursday, June 1, 1922 Yes, He's Neglected A great multitude of prospective June grooms gulped in surprise today when pages were torn from many calendars, revealing the month of June in numerical newness. The grooms gulped in surprise because they realized—ere June is o'er—they will be wed. While June brides are pictured on society pages, and glowing accounts of their beautiful bridal gowns and bouquets are penned, June grooms today are painfully aware that they must go to the altors unheralded and unsung. For who has read of a groom's wedding suit? Or of more than half a dozen words about a June groom? In spite of this wanton neglect, June grooms display the courage of a milkman in the early morning, or a man who drinks a gallon of tequila, or one who volunteers to ride a rocket to Mars. No, sir. You'll never hear a squeak from a June groom. QUADRANGLE PUZZLE TO OFFICERS ATTEMPTS TO SWIM TO COLTON John Curwood, 50, Attempts Leap Into Irrigation Canal Near Yorba Bridge Old-time re who recall pre-Volsteaad days when spirits flowed freely reminisce that a little alcohol sometimes made a man think he could do most anything. That being the case, it is not surprising that John Curwood, 50, an Anaheim visitor yesterday, while flanked with a quart bottle of denatured alcohol, should get the impression he could swim to Colton. Sheriff Jackson and Deputy Zabel were called to a point in Santa Ana canyon near the Yorba bridge late yesterday by a report that Curwood was attempting to disrobe and jump into the irrigation canal beside the road to swim the remainder of the way to Colton. Up to that point his aquatic endeavor had proven futile since the Santa Ana hasn't enough water in its course these days to prevent a catfish from raising quite a dust while ambling up stream. The officials found in Curwood's coat pocket the remnants of the New Radio Headgear Has No Mouthpiece This novel radiophone headgear is worn by the operator at the new "aerial lighthouse" at College Point, L. I. Note the apparatus beneath the throat. It takes the place of an oral transmitter, picking up the vibrations of the vocal cords right through the muscle and membrane of the throat. NEBELUNG'S SON-IN-LAW QUADRANGLE PUZZLE TO OFFICERS Are Claudius F. Dowell of Los Angeles and Vera Hilda McGhee of Los Angeles, who were married in Santa Ana in May, 1920, the same persons respectively as Vincent Charles McDowell of Los Angeles and Evelyn Lucile Wetmore who were married in Santa Ana on Dec. 22, 1921? And is Olive Brouillette of Los Angeles, who married Edward Brouillette at Williston, North Dakota, in 1917, the same person as Evelyn Lucile Wetmore, bride of McDowell? The authorities are nonplussed for answers to these questions. The preliminary hearing of the bigamy charge has been set by Justice J. B. Cox in Santa Ana for June 21, beginning at 10 a.m. Judge Cox tied the alleged knots in Santa Ana. Evidence to prove all relationships exists, the authorities in Santa Ana say. Mrs. Olive Brouillette, pretty and 22, and Claudius F. Dowell, 26, and a disabled war veteran, are in the city jail in Los Angeles, fugitives from Santa Ana. Vera Hilda Dowell has charged her husband with bigamy and Edward Brouillette has made a similar charge against his wife. "Why!" exclaims Mrs. Brouillette, "I have never been in Santa Ana in my life. I have lived with my people at 162 South Serrano street ever since we came here two years ago from the Middle West." Dowell is a disabled first sergeant of Company D, 12th Machine Gun Battallion, and attending the University of Southern California. Olive Brouillette was attending high school in North Dakota when she wed. "She given a divorce decree two weeks ago," declared Attorney Griffith Jones, who represents Mrs. Broillette. "There is some terrible mistake about all this. Mrs. Brouillette and Dowell never have been married to each other—and the woman never has been in Santa Ana." INJURED CYCLIST RECOVERS NICELY Ernest Irwin, who received a broken right leg in an accident near Corona about two weeks ago, is improving very nicely and is able BRIG. GEN. AMES IS ANAHEIM VISITOR The head of the Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias in California, Brigadier General H. F. Ames of Los Angeles, and officers of half a dozen companies of the rank in Orange co., and vicinity were present last night at the regular monthly meeting of the rank in Odd Fellows' hall, when the local company put on the work. It was the Brigadier General's official visit. Next Sunday a majority of the companies in Southern California will unite in a memorial service for dead comrades at Forest Lawn cemetery near Tropico.

Cantwell, of Los Angeles, son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Max Nebelung of Anaheim and well-known here, and his four-year-old daughter escaped uninjured late yesterday when their car swerved from the road on Clark's grade near San Bernardino and plunged 800 feet down the embankment, killing Miss Leah Miller, 35, of 4554 Hollywood-blvd, Los Angeles. Mrs. Cantwell, daughter of the Nebelungs, was riding in an auto ahead. Miss Miller, a nurse in the Cantwell home, met death instantly when she was dashed against a boulder, her skull being crushed and her neck broken. Mr. Cantwell received virtually no injuries despite the fact he was not thrown clear of the car until it had turned over many times. His eye-glasses were not broken. The baby was hurled from the car after it had rolled about 200 feet and was found smiling in a clump of bushes.

The prosecution of the case was in charge of Deputy District Attorney James P. Costello, who arrived in court with both arms heavy laden with law books. Valentino is charged with having overplayed his role of the “great lover,” in that he is alleged to have margined Miss Winifred Hudnut known professionally as Natacha Rambova, a dancer, while still the legal husband of Jean Acker, film actress.
