Look closely at this cartoon and order over what you glean from the lesson to be found therein. Nobody expects you to spend your money anywhere or in any way that is not 100 per cent fair to you. If there is a merchant in this or any other town that does not give a dollar's worth of merchandise and service for every dollar spent, that merchant and his establishment should be condemned. I don't believe that you have any of that kind in Anaheim, in fact, my investigations have lead me to believe that your merchants typify the opposite kind.
When I first heard of the name—Bob White Company—I thought it was a food product company. It is such a clean and wholesome sounding name that I am not surprised to learn that it houses those two fine automobiles, the Fyrarklin and the Nash. I called around to pay my compliments to the White Brothers, proprietors of this agency, and besides learning something new about the two automobiles, I also found out some interesting personal facts. Watch the Plain Dealer for the rest of the story.
Practically every member of the community is a member of a church, lodge or community organization of some sort. When it becomes necessary to raise funds for these organizations no one has any seruples at all quite rightly, too, of going from door to door among the merchants selling tickets or soliciting and gaining moral support.
It is well to bear in mind that, when you have a want that must be filled, it is but fair to make at least a small portion of the same effort to fill that want in Anaheim before sending your dollars affield—perhaps never to return.
This Mysterious Cowbody business is certainly very instructive. My latest acquaintance is Mr. A. Bevillard, the experienced proprietor of the Anaheim Ignition Depot. This man is a pioneer in the electrical field and for a long time he gave the Chicagoana the benefits of his work and knowledge. He is the oldest auto electric man in Orange-co., and his place of business at 218 South Los Angeles-st., offers an electrical auto service that cannot be beat any other healthy—go into this store and get a kick out of life.
I would like to make my headquarters at Heying's Pharmacy—it is such a cheerful place and so much in the center of things. They have a full line of pure drugs and their soda fountain beckons to me whenever I pass the door. Seven courteous people do the rest. I was talking to O. W. Heying, and now I know why they are so popular with the community.
AUTO VICTIM, BADLY HURT MAY LIVE

He is the oldest auto electric man in Orange-co, and his place of business at 218 South Los Angeles-st., offers an electrical auto service that cannot be beat any other place.

I have a friend whose words are terse, But Oh! he writes the punkest verse. Perhaps his works I shouldn't curse, In fact, I think my own are worse.
I have a letter from "an admirer"—whether of myself or of the poetry that is sent, I do not know—anyway "an admirer" drolls along at some length to say that in coming to Anaheim from Nebraska, their auto party could find no one or no sign that could throw any light on the whereabouts of Anaheim. That's the trouble with these famous communities—if you look for signs reading New York or Paris, you never find them. The way to get to all ideal places is to be drawn there by that compelling and fascinating power—the attraction of the place itself. The next time you or any of your friends, "admirer," encounter this condition, just wait at the sign post for the magnetic influence coming from Anaheim. You wont have to tune in for it—it just comes and it draws—draws you right to it and there to stay. Thanks for the post information, but I don't bring in signs anyway.
There is a very notable tendency among the American people to have the home furnished more cheerfully and with brighter and newer furniture. The assumption is, and it is correct, that the young folks will stay around the old homestead if it is made attractive and cheery. That’s excellent propaganda and Stroup and Barnes, the Anaheim furniture dealers, are the ardent exponents of this doctrine. If you would have pretty and substantial furniture, go to see them. They are progressive boys and good fellows, too. See Stroup for humour, he has lots of it—so has his partner. Laughing is cheap and
SIX JAIL BREAKERS CAPTURED TODAY
LOS ANGELES, June 8—With six of the men recaptured and held under heavy guard, police today made vigorous efforts to round up the rest of the 40 prisoners of the Lincoln Heights police station who escaped from the jail during the showing of a motion picture, by leaping through a window after sawing the bars.
According to a police report the prisoners, during the film show, crowded to the side of the dining room, where the picture was being presented, and clustered about a window. Under the cover of the hearty laughs of the prisoners at the antics of a film comedian some of the men near the window sawed the bars.
FINE PAINTINGS IN ANAHEIM HOMES
The living rooms in the homes of Mr. and Mrs. William Dolan and Mr. and Mrs. Herman Stern are each enhanced since the orange show by one of the lovely paintings from the art gallery conducted in an adjoining tent. Mr. Dolan's purchase is a "homey" scene, entitled "The Red Roof," by Miss Nona L. White, of Pasadena. The Stern painting is "Springtime," by Anne Robinson, one of the Laguna Beach colony artists.
The sale of pictures was conducted under the auspices of the Ebell club.

40 INVESTORS MAY REAP PROFIT
Investors numbering 40, principally Anaheimers, in the Huntington Crude Oil Co., will not only save all they put into the enterprise, but reap a handsome profit, if MacIntyre Bros.' well No. 1 is brought in at Huntington Beach, as appears likely. The firm stopped drilling, but some time ago was ordered by the State to resume, and did so. The well has reached the point where it is about ready to be brought in.
This firm sub-leased 20 acres of the 50 leased by the oil company, and the company's interest in the sub-lease is practically its only visible asset now. Of the other 30 acres the company lost its leases on two 10-acre tracts, which were not drilled in time, and is likely to lose the lease on the other 10 acres next October, according to investors, unless drilling begins.
MacIntyre Bros.' sold off lots measuring 25 by 50 feet in the 20-acre tract at $300 to $500 each.
The original luster of the 50-acre tract was R. W. Edens, who sold the leases to A. E. Ensign, acting for the Huntington Crude Oil Co. Ensign retained a one-tenth interest or 10 units in the company, the other 40 being taken by the Anaheimers and others, who put in not less than $1,000 apiece, or a total of approximately $40,000.
Out of this money, Ensign paid Edens $15,000 for the leases on the 50 acres.
Ensign has had an action for an accounting brought against him by President Adolph Thomas of the Golden State National Bank, A. E. Harrogrove, and F. H. Garrison, all of Anaheim, acting for the 40 or so investors. His demurer was over-rudged and the case is scheduled to come before Judge R. Y. Williams next Tuesday.
Ensign is connected with the California Fig-Nut Co., in Orange, the Mid-California Oil Co., which Prospects.
Eastern Newspaperman Goes Home Enthusiastic Over Anaheim "Pep"
Yesterday The Plain Dealer published a most flattering estimate of Anaheim as portrayed in a newly published volume "Irrigation and Religion," the report of a social survey conducted by the Interchurch World Movement.
Today the Plain Dealer publishes and equally enthusiastic appraisal from another experienced critic, John P. Wilson, of the Spirit Publishing Co., Punxsutawney, Pa. The following is a newspaper report of an address on "Civic Improvement" as he found it on a recent trip to California. Mr. Wilson's address was delivered before the Rotary club of his city. The printed report follows:
Mr. Wilson's address was brief and to the point, showing keen observation and a keener analysis of what has brought California to a higher state of civilization than is enjoyed anywhere in the world today. He said in part:
I found something in California that I never expected to discover in my life time. That was communities in which the civic spirit was developed to the point where practically all the citizens were willing to sacrifice their personal interests in the welfare of the whole population. Whether this was altruism or intelligent self interest is not important. The result is the vital thing.
I will not attempt to give any impression of California outside of this one feature, because I consider there is nothing else out there to be compared with it in importance.
Fortunately, circumstances kept me much of my time at Anaheim, a town of 10,000 population, about the size of Punxsutawney. When I first visited it, it looked to me to be entirely up-to-date in the way of civics. Big handsome school and municipal buildings, fire fighting equipment, paved streets and alleys, playgrounds, community centers, streets scrupulously clean and everything altogether beautiful. Well in addition to all this the authorities have authorized additional improvements to be started at once and finished in the near future that will cost almost a half million dollars, creating a financial liability that amounts to $50 per capita for every inhabitant. They purchased 20 acres of ground for a city park and athletic field, the cost of which, with the initial construction work, will be $200,000.
Of course, it is a wealthy town, but so are many of the ten thousand size towns in Pennsylvania.
It takes more than wealth, as

YOUTH KIDNAPPED, ROBBED OF $150
LOS ANGELES, June 88.—After having been taken to a lonely spot east of Whittier by five bandits who kidnapped him at an oil station at Hillsdale street and Stephenson avenue, Myron Smith, this city, attendant in charge of the oil station, was robbed of $150 and hurled from the bandit car, according to a sheriff's office report today.
A motorist who observed the hold-up reported exited to the sheriff's office that he had pursued the men in its own machine after he witnessed their kidnapping of the oil station attendant.
A chase through downtown streets, the motorist emptied his revolver at the bandits, who returned his fire and outdistanced him.
ENTHUSIASTIC OVER TRIP THRU SONORA
M. A. Maxwell, in company with Frank Montino of Brea and Criss Polina of Whittier, has just returned from a ten days' trip to Sonora, Mexico. Mr. Maxwell traveled thru the entire state of Sonora and is much enthused over the business conditions. Mining is especially attracting his eye as he is interested in a gold mining camp at El Taro. He intends to go back to that country some time in August or September and start working. He says that the Mexican population of that country is very friendly and that American people by the thousands are flocking to Sonora for the mining and the oil industry.
Gottfried Hemmerling, Aged 92, Passes Away
The funeral services for Gottfried Hemmerling, who died yesterday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Arthur Jabs, 5 miles west of town, will be held at 2 p.m. Friday from the German Baptist church, Rev Leuschner officiating. Burial will be in the Anaheim cemetery. The body is in the Huddle Undertaking parlors.
Mr. Hemmerling was aged 92 years. He was a resident of the community for more than 19 years and was closely associated with activities of the earlier days in Anaheim.
OLDEST GRADUATES LIVE IN CALIFORNIA
LOS ANGELES, June 8.—Two police commission, was justified in were declared to be the oldest living graduates of their respective universities.
They are Conelius Cole, 99, a graduate of Weslyan university, Middletown, Conn., and Lewis Benedict Reed, 98, an alumnus of New York university.
Mr. Cole, who is still practicing law in this city, despite his advanced age, was graduated with the class of '47. Mr. Reed was given his diploma in '43.
Probably the same thought occurs to you as to me, and that is, who are these people and where did they come from? I can tell you where they came from. They came from Punxsutawney, Indiana, Mari-on Center, Reynoldsville and similar towns and communities in the east. Just ordinary pluggers like ourselves who have gone there and created a civilization that many claim surpasses anything the world has seen since the days of Athens.
What developed the spirit I can not enlighten you on. It is not the result of the old Spanish civiliza-

RIVERSIDE, June 8.—While in the act of dressing in her bedroom this morning at 6 o'clock, Mrs. Rose Deputy, wife of Dr. H. E. Deputy, well known ostecopath, shot herself through the breast and died instantly. The tragedy occurred in their home on Orange Grove avenue.
INQUEST FOR MAN KILLED IN FALL
J. J. Mohn, 60, of Fullerton, fell off the scaffolding at the Fullerton high school building, where a new wing is being erected to the administration building, yesterday afternoon, and was almost instantly killed. A score or more workmen, including his son, saw the accident, but were powerless to prevent it. His foot slipped and he fell off the scaffold, but caught with his hands and clung on for a few moments, then fell before his associates could come to his rescue. The fall was but 15 feet. He struck on his head, and his skull was fractured. He was rushed to the Fullerton hospital, being dead when he arrived.
The body was examined by Dr. J. H. Lang, of Fullerton, who said that death was instantaneous. The body is being held at the McAulay funeral parlor.
An inquest was to be held at 3:30 o'clock.
The decedent is survived by his son, Elmer Mohn, of Fullerton, relatives in Pasadena and a widow, from whom he had separated.

Mrs. Rose Deputy, of Riverside; Fires Bullet Thru Breast
RIVERSIDE, June 8.—While in the act of dressing in her bedroom this morning at 6 o'clock, Mrs. Rose Deputy, wife of Dr. H. E. Deputy, well known osteopath, shot herself through the breast and died instantly. The tragedy occurred in their home on Orange Grove avenue.
Both Dr. Deputy and his wife were up early and were both dressing.
Mrs. Deputy, without saying a word, went over to the drawer of a dresser, took out the revolver, and flipped the fatal shot, fell to the floor and expired.
Coroner Dickson was called.
No examination was made of the body, but the coroner believes, from the location of the wound in the breast, that the bullet passed thru her heart.
SAY $975 DUE FOR PROCURING LOAN
Suits for $975 commission claimed due from F. C. Elsenhauer, proprietor of the Orange-co. Pharmacy and owner of the postoffice building, by Hoffman & Smith, Santa Ana realtors, before Judge Z. B. West, was tried in Santa Ana today. The plaintiff's claimed they had entered into a contract to obtain a loan of $32,500 for the defendant, and did obtain the money from Herbert Earsliff, a Missouriian. When, however, they were ready to hand over the money to Eisenhauer, the latter it was found had secured the money elsewhere.
The commission represented three per cent on the $32,500.
John A. Harvey of Santa Ana was attorney for the Santa Anans and Leonard Evans for Eisenhauer. Hoffman, Eisenhauer and Earlscliff were on the stand as witnesses.
The contract was brought into evidence, and Judge West said that there appeared to be no qualifying clauses which would exempt Eisenhauer from payment of the commission. If such were so, he added, the case might as well be settled.
After a conference between the principals and their attorneys, proceedings were suspended under a stipulated judgment this afternoon. What agreement was reached was not announced.

BIG NAVY PLANE FALLS INTO S. D. BAY
SAN DIEGO, June 8.—A heavy navy seaplane, one of a formation of seven that accompanied the navy transport Henderson and Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby into port today, crashed into the bay within half a mile of the transport.
The airmen were not hurt. Immediately the big F-5-L plane hit the water they clambered to the wings and waved "o: k." to the passing transport.
That has made no progress and is the same there as it was 150 years ago. Neither is it the result of Japanese immigration. The Japanese has no interest in civile affairs in America. Some claim it is the result of the climate. While it is generally admitted that climate has influence on the progress of he race, it is also generally considered a slow process, a matter of evolution.
The California spirit is not evolution, it is revolution and is real quick thou it, too.
I wish we could get it started in Punxsutawney.

CANTALOUPES ARE MOVING HEAVILY
Imperial Valley cantaloupes today began to move faster, with 50 cars scheduled to leave for the eastern and mid-west markets. The cantaloupes are the chief competitor of valencia oranges.
The Anaheim Orange and Lemon Ass'n., pointing out the difference between shipments this year and last, said that up to June 4 last year 1140 cars had been shipped, compared with 19 to the same date this year. Shipments, however, have been steadily increasing, the crop is large, and more associations have pooled a bigger acreage than ever before.
The crop this year was badly hit by frost and had to be partly replanted. Rains also were a disastrous factor.
