"We're going to use his or her Portrayed in Remarkable Book," Irrigation and Religion" (By Dr. James Allen Geissinger) As recently as 1856 Anaheim was a sand dune and Orange-co. a cactus coy red desert. Now, 1922, Orange-co. is rated as one of the richest counties in the United States, perhaps the richest, and Anaheim as its most thriving community. To be sure every Anaheim Knows this for the the literature of the Chamber of Commerce has been setting forth them; encouraging facts and the purveyors of real estate have been giving demonstrations. But we need no longer depend upon these local authorities. Anaheim has arrived and her fame is written in a book. And it is an unusual book with a title that seems at first to border on the ludicrous but that nevertheless has its own story to tell—"Irrigation and Religion." Only let no suspicious person imagine that the book deals with the "water wagon," as figuratively it is called, or the wet and dry question. The Committee on Social and Religious Surveys was organized in 1921 with John R. Mott at the head of it and its purpose is to deal with commercial, social and religious conditions throughout the United States. Twelve volumes of these surveys are to be issued and one of them deals with Orange and Stanislaus counties. This volume, issued by the press of Doran and Company and edited by Edward Brunner, one of the foremost authorities of social surveys in America, is a careful, scientific study of social and religious conditions in the two counties named. The book is profusely illustrated and abounds in charts and tables and statistics, set forth most interestingly. The statements in the volume are based on a survey conducted by the Inter-Church World movement and latter checked up by Dr. Bruner, who personally visited Orange county. The thesis of the book, if we may state the case in such a heavy manner, might be set forth thus: Irrigation has brought about a condition of amazing prosperity that has enabled the citizens of these two counties to build fine churches and schools and other social agencies, to develop good roads and all the conveniences of modern city life. In other words, the volume is a sociological study, seeking to show the bearing of economic conditions upon the higher life of the people. Those interested in church life will find the actual conditions analyzed here. Those who have to do with educational institutions are enabled to see what an expert survey of them reveals. The Y. M. C. A., Parent Teachers' Association, Boy Scouts Movement, Farm Bureau and similar social agencies are included in the study. Human! Yes, as the camera caught; Living! Sure, by the time I brought; Personall No, not the slightest aught. Simply the symbol of "Prosperous Thought." Here's the old boy himself—the Mysterious Cowboy Cartoonist of the Buy-In-Anaheim and Greater Prosperity campaign. Now you see him as he appears on the city streets—full length, full width, full measure and full bulk. He is 100 per cent Greater Prosperity from head to foot. That is, he believes in more of Prosperity wherever it is possible to develop more. The Bank of England could not keep up with him in his path of progress. As the verse at the head of the column indicates, he is a thought, not a personality. That thought is more and Greater Prosperity for Anaheim plus... appears on the city streets—full length, full width, full measure and full bulk. He is 100 per cent Greater Prosperity from head to foot. That is, he believes in more of Prosperity wherever it is possible to develop more. The Bank of England could not keep up with him in his path of progress. As the verse at the head of the column indicates, he is a thought, not a personality. That thought is more and Greater Prosperity for Anaheim plus the great big idea of Buying-In-Anaheim. One might almost say that he is a great radio plant, from whence all prosperous wave thoughts and the pulsations of civic pride emanate. In his every movement throughout the city he leaves behind a better understanding of the merchandising assets of Anaheim, and an appreciation of why the buying should be done in this city. He is like a great magnet that attracts all things that are susceptible to community advancement. His aim is Greater and More Prosperity for Anaheim. This aim can best be directed at the necessity of Buying-In-Anaheim. He is ruthless in reaching his object; he is succeeding fast. To those who are helping he does pour out his or gratitude; to those who, for the moment denur, he has no objections to offer, other than to wish them reconsideration of his mission. Few, indeed, fall of this reconsideration, and thus, few fail to join him. Mr. Epstein, the genial manager of Falkenstein's Dept. Store, was kind enough to show me over the entire place, and I'm here to tell you that I enjoyed every inch of the journey. Some store and some courteous and efficient service. Here's the motto of this fine emporium: "We would rather understate a fact than to overstate it." You can't go wrong with such guidance. Circulate your dollar, as it will return to you if you show energy (Continued on page Three) Those interested in church life will find the actual conditions analyzed here. Those who have to do with educational institutions are enabled to see what an expert survey of them reveals. The Y. M. C. A., Parent Teachers' Association, Boy Scouts Movement, Farm Bureau and similar social agencies are included in the study. The general conclusion of Professor Bruner is that we have here in Orange county, (to confine our consideration to our own local situation) a modern community that has been making rapid strides forward largely due to the work of the schools, churches, prohibition and the incoming of a high order of citizenship and all of it resting back upon a sound economic basis. To this finding he adds recommendations and suggestions of a practical character. There are some facts brought out in the survey that ought to be immensely interesting to all forward looking citizens of Orange-co. and of Anaheim, and especially so as they come from a scientific student who has no concern to make out a good case for our local community. Here is a statement that might profitably be sent to your farmer friends back east: "The farmers of the counties are not overburdened with debt. Approximately half of the farms are mortgaged to about 30 percent of their value, whereas in general farming counties in the middle west it is not unusual to find one-half to four-fifths of the farms mortgaged to more than 50 percent of their value. This comparative freedom from debt is one of the advantages enjoyed by these California counties and means that they can afford to contribute liberally to social and religious progress." Dr. Brunner points out that 80 per cent of the population of Orange-co. is native born white. Six-sevenths of the ranchers of Orange-co. are ranch owners, tho the progress of the county has been retarded by the half dozen big ranch holdings comprising more than one-half of the total area of the county.

With this advice to bathers, officials of Chesapeake Beach, Washington's Coney Island, dealt censorship a k. o., and bounced Old Lady Prudery from their midst. "Batling beaches are no places for prudes," says an official pronouncement from the beach. "We don't expect people to dress up for a bath the way the dress up for a wedding or funeral. "We have faith enough in the modesty, decency and good taste of our patrons to let them determine for themselves what they should wear. "We don't expect any Adam and Eve poses, for no one with good sense wants to pose that way.

E. Hill & Co., Los Angeles Contractors and Engineers, Lowest Bidders The lowest bidder for the levee to be built by subscribers to the Flood Protection Fund is T. E. Hill & Co., Los Angeles, whose figure was $33,-540, C. M. Hillinghead of the subscribers' committee announced today, following a committee meeting last night at the C. of C. The were 15 bidders and bids ranged as high P.O. RECEIPTS ADVANCE 35 PER CENT Records of many months if not several years were broken in May, when the local postoffice made a gain over May last year in total receipts amounting to more than 35 per cent. The gain in April was approximately 33 per cent. Receipts the past month were $2861.21 against $2118.57. These figures do not include money order receipts which have been ranging from $10,000 to $15,000 per month and are likely to show a $30,000 gain for the calendar year over 1921, says Postmaster J. F. Ahlborn. For the first five months of this year the total receipts—stamps, envelopes, etc., but not money orders—were $15,457.54, compared with $12,692.10. This gain amounts to nearly 22 per cent, against a gain of approximately 18 per cent for the first four months of the year. January was a comparatively poor month for receipts, owing to the general depression in the country, the disturbance of business during the removal of the postoffice from West Center street, etc. April and March, however, were excellent months. Effective July 1 the postoffice enters the eighth and last grade of the second class before entering the first class. RICHFIELD CALLS DEPUTY SHERIFFS Deputies of Sheriff Jackson's office hurried to Richfield early this afternoon on a call from A. L. Eells, City Marshal of Fullerton, who said Nearly Completed, Credit to City Another fine club house is added to those already possessed by the city with the completion, announced for July 1, of the new Concordia Club, on West Broadway. With grounds of an acre and one-half, on which a grove of pretty umbrella and popper trees has been preserved in its natural beauty, and with improvements to be made, the club and its surroundings will mean much for West Broadway and vicinity. It will also be a social center for the city's German population, and a show place for the community generally. Besides the clubhouse there will be swings, slides and other amusement devices for the children in the spacious grounds in front of the main building, while in the rear will be built an open-air gym, stage and outdoor eating places. The superintendent's cottage already has been erected, and will be finished before the end of the month. The clubhouse contains an auditorium 50 by 68 feet, with stage 14 by approximately 50 feet; gentlemen's room, for games and refreshment; ladies' room, general eating room, lodge room, etc. There is a projection room in connection with the auditorium which will enable the management to give motion pictures whenever desired. This big room, provided like all the other rooms with hardwood floors, will be ideal for dancing. The exterior of the moulding will be as handsome as the interior. It is finished in magnesite, a covering or finely crushed granite over concrete and stucco. Spacious porches extend along practically the entire length of the building on its east side, enclosed by an ornate fence of stone and brick, which will be beautified still further with potted plants. Broad, concrete walks in front of the building on West Broadway and extending through the grounds to the main entrance on the building's east side will enable the clap to accommodate any number of guests. The building has been constructed in a way to permit of upper floor rooms in the future if necessary. N. B. Tedford is the general contractor; Selby & Moore are installing the electrical wiring and fixtures; Frank Harden the gas radiator heating system; F. H. Garrison the plumbing; while R. Quarton and J. Baum have the painting contract and Crain Bros., of Long Acadm., did the exterior work. The clubhouse will be thrown open July 2, according to President Fred J. Horbach, who is in active oversight of the building operations. Fritz Halbert, the superintendent, will take active charge on or before that date with his assistants. Two Volunteers The lowest bidder for the leeve to be built by subscribers to the Flood Protection Fund is T. E. Hill & Co., Los Angeles, whose figure was $33,-540, C. M. Hillingshead of the subscribers' committee announced today, following a committee meeting last night at the C. of C. They were 15 bidders and bids ranged as high as $45,679. Some of the bids, as in the case of one submitted by an Anaheimer, were for materials only, and could not be considered. The committee will meet June 15, when the contract probably will be awarded. Contractors of Long Beach, San Diego and various Orange-co., cities were among the bidders. Representatives of the contractors were present at the meeting, but were permitted only to submit in writing their bids. No explanations except in writing were allowed. Tomorrow a committee consisting of John Cook, F. A. Yungbluth, Joe Carroll and C. E. Jones will visit Los Angeles to confer with a property owner who controls an additional right of way that must be obtained. The latter became necessary when the committee decided to eliminate an area south of the Santa Fe bridge, following the old line of piling, and follow a straight line. No difficulty is expected in obtaining the right of way. The change in route will make the leeve more efficient. Subscriptions continue to come in slowly, a little over $34,000 having been collected. It is expected that any surplus there may be over and above the amount on the actual contract will be used for maintenance purposes. All of the members of the subscribers' committee except W. B. Allen, who is ill, were present at last night's meeting. The leeve is about 78850 feet long, extending from the Garden Grove leeve to the Santa Fe bridge. It will be six feet high, 16 feet across top and 24 feet across bottom. A single row of creosoted fir piling will stand six feet from the top of the bank. The pilling will be eight feet apart from center to center. Spiked to the pilling will be six two by twelve creosoted fir planks, placed four feet below the ground and two feet above. Above the plank there is to be a four-inch mesh woven wire fence with horizontal cables of two strands No. 12½ and cross wires of No. 14. Every 96 feet there will be a cross fence of planking and wire from the piling into the bank. The contractor is ready to start within ten days after being awarded the job and agrees to have it done by Oct. 1. He will use mules in handling the dirt. It will take 30 to 60 days to get piling. Prices on moving dirt ranged from RICHFIELD CALLS DEPUTY SHERIFFS Deputies of Sheriff Jackson's office hurried to Richfield early this afternoon on a call from A. L. Eells, City Marshal of Fullerton, who said he had receiver a report that a crazy woman was shooting up the town. The report arose from a scrap which took place between a Mexican girl of 14 or 15 and a Mexican woman with whose child the girl had interfered. There was hair-pulling and considerable excitement, but no shooting, according to Bilbro & Ruby, near whose store the fracas took place. RICHARDSON DROPS SUIT VS. HOSPITAL Trial was started in Department No. 2 of the Superior Court today before Judge R. Y. Williams in the suit of Ed. Richardson against the Anaheim Sanitarium for $46,500. Richardson alleged that when his leg which was broken Sept. 2, 1919, was set Oct. 4, 1919, it was out of line and that part of the bone was removed when a metal plate was taken away. R. T. Lightfoot of Los Angeles is Richardson's attorney. Head, Rutan and Scovell represent the sanitarium. Richardson's attorney moved dismissal of the case, when it became apparent that there was little or no evidence against the Sanitarium, and the motion was granted by the court. E. D. ZUMWALT PAYS $300 FINE TODAY E. D. ZUMWALT, arrested during the orangie show on the charge of having liquor in his possession and distributing it to friends, and who was later fined $300 by Judge Kuchel with a reasonable time to pay the fine, today paid up, and the case was officially ended. The judge had given the offender and his bondsmen until today to make the fine good. TWO YOUTHFUL AVIATORS KILLED Maynard, Morley of 710 So. Van Ness avenue, Santa Ana, was fatally injured and Jackson Underhill of 669 Stanley avenue, Long Beach, killed outright when an airplane in which they were sailing fell two miles south of Huntington Park. Morley was taken to the Receiving Hospital, Los Angeles, where he died later. The machine fell when only about 100 feet high, Patrolman Prose and Taylor of the University division of the Los Angeles police department said.

It was expected that all of the indictments presented the grand jury would be returned before night. ASK ENSIGN TO ACCOUNT FOR $16,000 Three prominent Anaheimers, President Adolph Thomas of the Golden State National Bank, A. E. Hargrove, realtor, and F. H. Harrison, representing some 40 persons who bought $31,000 worth of units in the proposed Huntington Crude Oil Company are bringing suit against A. E. Ensign of Anaheim for accounting of his receipts. The case has been set for next Wednesday in Department No. 2 of the Superior Court before Judge R. Y. Williams. Most of the 40 are Anaheimers, but Fullerton, Santa Ana, Placentia Los Angeles and other cities are represented in the number. The plaintiffs are represented by West & Buck and by Scarborough & Forgy of Santa Ana; Ensign by Roland Thompson of Santa Ana. Defendant with Ensign is Heimer & Theriot of Santa Ana, who also declared to have helped to promote the company. They are represented by Leonard Evans of this city. Ensign spent some $15,000 out of the money he received for purposes about which there is no legal contest. The accounting concerns the cost of the money, estimated at some $16,000. It is alleged that Ensign went ahead and had a derrick erected on the tract of 50 acres in Huntington was completed. The depositions in the case were taken some six or eight months ago, but this is the first the case will have come to trial. ANAHEIM OFFERED TRACTOR FACTORY A delegation of C. of C. members yesterday witnessed a demonstration of the Rogers tractor on the ranch of E. R. Deering, north Garden Grove road. The concern seeks to move its factory here from northern California in the vicinity of San Jose where it is now located. Some of those present were very favorably impressed with the tractor. What terms the company seeks is not revealed. The industrial committee, consisting of John Ruether, H. N. White and E. M. Chalmars, together with Vive-President Henry Adams, Secretary Malcolm Fraser, Charles Eygabroad, W. H. Schureman and others were present. The company is understood to be completes Investigation Into Inglewood LOS ANGELES, June 7—Marking the completion of its investigation of the Ku Klux Klan, the county grand jury today voted on between 40 and 50 indictments against klansmen and others who participated in the Inglewood mob violence. It was expected that all of the indictments presented the grand jury would be returned before night. Those named in the indictments were charged with false imprisonment and assault with intent to commit murder. The false imprisonment charge was based on the kidnapping by members of the masked mob of Fidel Elduayen, whose home was raided, and the assault charge on evidence showing that the raiders fired on Night Marshal Woerner, who killed Constable Medford Mosher and wounded two others in the gun battle. Several high officials of the klan were reported to have been among those whose names were on the indictments given the jury. A few scattering witnesses to gather in the ends of the evidence were acled before the jury previous to the voting on the indictments. Arrangements were made for a squad of deputy sheriffs and detritives of the district attorney's office to arrest those against whom indictments were returned, bringing them in to either remain in jail pending trial or effect their release on ball." Among those named in the indictments were many of the 34 who signed a confession in which they admitted having been members of the Inglewood raiders. Nathan A. Baker, kleagle of the klan, now held at the psychopathic ward at the county hospital on suspicion of a felony, confessed that he was a leader of the masked mob. The publication of two letters written by Rev. "Fighting Bob" Shuler, pastor of the Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, to W. S. Coburna, former grand goblin of the klan, in which he invited Coburna and oLa Angeles klansmen to support his in a proposed "clean-up" campaign, brought an answer from Shuler. If the district attorney thinks he can give me a dumb chill or scare me into some kind of "yaller", fit by trying to connect me up with the Ku Klux Klan he has simply missed his man," Shuler said.
