AMES QUITS AS LEGAL ADVISOR H. G. Ames, city attorney for 11 years, tossed a bomb on the council table last night when he handed in his resignation. H. V. Weisel, who recently resumed legal practice after a year’s vacation ranching, was elected Ames’ successor, receiving the votes of Stark, Stock and Mann. Wm. P. Webb received the votes of Gates and Gibbs. In his letter of resignation, Ames said: "I hereby tender my resignation as city attorney of the city of Anaheim, to take effect upon the appointment and qualification of my successor." "It is with great reluctance and" Stay away from the out of town merchandise hives—unless you do, you will have an unpleasant experience and you will be badly stung, also. In any event, you will not gather any milk or honey. For the rest of the "shipping gospel" look closely at my drawing today. If you have a bee in your bonnet, by all means take off your hat and let 'em escape. Here's a little chat on that burning subject. Plea pardon my temerity for dealing in discourse foreign to my nature, but this raving comes under the head of poetical license. In the old days when I went to the village school it was not an attractive thing—everything was done in the wrong way. School houses were poorly heated; the instructors for the most part were all dyspeptic and from the text books it was difficult to glean knowledge. Hookey and obedience were prevalent, and the kids liked their school house and the teachers, like all youngsters like castor oil. What a difference today, especially here in Orange county. Here the road to education is almost a royal one. Nothing that will contribute to... PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO DRUNKEN DRIVING W. B. Clark, who was arrested just outside Anaheim on May 3 for alleged driving while intoxicated, pleaded not guilty in Superior court before Judge W. West today and his trial was set for Oct. 9 at 9:30. He was released on bail. Clyde Bishop of Santa Ana is his attorney. What a difference today, especially here in Orange county. Here the road to education is almost a royal one. Nothing that will contribute to learning has been neglected. So much practical attention has been paid to sanitation; to ventilation; to heating and lighting. Schools in your own beautiful Mission style, everywhere to be seen. Bright, cheerful buildings nestled among the trees and flowers—and such a climate—Radiant children brimming over with health and happiness, it seems, because of the mere opportunity of going to school. But I am told that your schools are already crowded to overflowing. That, of course, is the result of your steady and substantial growth. Do not let this shortage of schooling facilities get acute—they children in their adolescent period are the sufferers. Cowboys don't know much about the three r's or about schools, but many a feeble word has done some good in this world. Make your schools adequate for the youth at all times—it will only be in keeping with the rest of your perfect system. I was looking around for a new saddle for my pony when I got into the store of F. A. Yungbluth. This pioneer merchant carries everything but saddles, and I believe if it comes to a show down he could make one of these also. Otherwise he is the haberdasher par excellence. He is too well known and his quality, and service are too much appreciated, for me to have to give any new dope on him. I am very glad to tell you that the Buy-in-Anaheim campaign is meeting with brilliant success. Public spirited merchants and good citizens are right behind my efforts in advertising the city and making known the merchandising assets and general advantages to be gained here. Mr. Lewis and his assistant, Mr. Bixler, the amicable gentlemen connected with that splendid institution, J. C. Penney Co., are two lieutenants. They know chandling game and they and appreciate the public both Penney men, but fre-get value received for you spend with them, not buying, why talk to are intelligent and all fellows.

Staats Co. last night was awarded the $80,000 joint outfall sewer bonds on a premium of $3638. The bonds run 40 years, $2000 retired annually, at five pct. There were two other bidders—M. H. Lewis & Co. offered $2346 premium and First Securities Co., Los Angeles, $2875. Kierluff & Co. were awarded contract for a carload of red cedar poles, 35 feet long with 7-inch top, at $13.45 each. Councilman Stock reported complaints had been made to him that S. P. freight trains were allowed to block traffic on Walnut-st for half an hour and that trainmen were impudent. City Manager O. E. Steward was instructed to write S. P. officials. The large gum tree at Citron-st and Broadway must go to make way for sidewalk, council decreed. Stock complained that sidewalk contractors were not living up to the city's specifications which called for 3½ inches concrete. Some contractors are using only three-inch wooden side supports and are not careful that the ground has been levelled. In some of the new subdivisions where walks have been made within a year, they are already going to pieces. The matter of closer inspection was referred to the city manager. Council turned down the application of an expert accountant to go over the city books. The accountant only wanted $25 a day for himself and $15 for assistant. City Manager Steward reported the Seagrave Co. has agreed to furnish a truck while the local fire truck is being overhauled and auxiliary pump is being installed. 81 H. S. STUDENTS RECEIVE DIPLOMAS Eighty-one students of the Anaheim High School will receive diplomas at 7:30 this evening at the 22nd annual Commencement exercises. Rev. J. Whitecomb Brougher of the Temple Baptist Church, Los Angeles, will give the commencement address. His subject is "Keys and Key Holes." Mary Kane will deliver the valedictorian address and Janey Van der Veer the salutatorian address. ARMISTICE IN CHINA PEKING, June 9.—An armistice has been agreed upon between Wu Pei Fu, victorious Chinese general, and Chang Tao Lin, Manchurian. The Peerless Pitcher of baseball now back to health is credited with the greatest battle of his career in his victory over the pulmonary illness which overtook him three years ago. PAVING MUST WAIT FOR SEWERS That shortage of funds with which to buy sewer pipe and water mains may hold back a large amount of new paving, although property owners are anxious for the improvement, was hinted last night when A. A. Mills presented three petitions to city council. Each petition was signed by a large number of interested property-owners. One petition asked that Lemon-st from North-st north to the state highway be paved on each side like a downtown city street. Another petition asked that the same be done with Los Angeles-st from North-st to a point on the state highway slightly west of the junction with Lemon-st. The third asked for the paving of North-st from Los Angeles-st to the Santa Fe tracks. Before council proceeds with paying, modern sewer lines and water mains are put down to work. Crop Will at Least Equal Last Season’s, Says Manager Geo. M. Ross The crop of the Anaheim Walnut Growers' Asan, will at least not be less than that of last year, according to George M. Ross, secretary and manager, if present indications hold until harvest. Ross has made no official estimate, but is much encouraged by the appearance of the groves. Final payment for culls of last season's crop will be made in July by the California Walnut Growers' Association, which held its annual meeting of directors yesterday in Los Angeles. The average net returns will be eight cents, against six in 1920-21. The local manager is a director. The feature of the meeting was the report of General Manager Carlyle Thorpe, which was read by Assistant Manager W. T. Webber. Thorpe is on a world tour of walnut production centers. He now is in China and from there will go to Italy and France. New studies in the causes of moldy nuts will be carried on this year at Anaheim, says the report. Owing to frost injury to experimental plots, experiments the past season were not conclusive. It was proved, however, that the majority of moldy walnuts are also the so-called stick-tights and a great many if not most moldy nuts were moldy on the trees before they fell. That the mold may be associated with partially or side blighted walnuts was indicated. A flat assessment of one half cent per pound for advertising is recommended by the general manager. This represents only about two percent of the f.o.b. selling price and is a charge much less in percentage than most non-perishable food industries appropriate. "The American public will not purchase large quantities of any food of only ordinary quality at any price within reason, but conversely they will readily consume ever-increasing quantities of high grades of food at a reasonably satisfactory price," says the report. "Therefore, to ensure a good market for the rapidly increasing output of California walnuts, we must all devote our main effort towards growing them better, curing them better, and grading and packing them better." More than 50 per cent of the output of packed walnut meats of last season has been sold, says the report. The rest of the meats, despite "very heavy importations of walnut meats from China, France and the Balkan States," will be closed out shortly it is expected, and final returns made to the association's three plants. The traffic manager of the association will continue to work for fur-makers hard to make livestock more comfortable for people hard to handle activities. "We finest lor and gle be best known." Rev. J. Whitcomb Brougher of the Temple Baptist Church, Los Angeles, will give the commencement address. His subject is "Keys and Key Holes." Mary Kane will deliver the valedictorian address and Janey Van der Veer the salutatorian address. ARMISTICE IN CHINA PEKING, June 9.—An armistice has been agreed upon between Wu Pei Fu, victorious Chinese general, and Chang Tso Lin, Manchurian leader defeated by Wu Chang asked for an armistice with the view of establishing permanent peace. Katherine Efker, 12, Ill Three Days, Dies Little Katherine, the 12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Efker, died last evening at the hospital after an illness of three days, caused from diphtheria. Private funeral will be held this afternoon at the Backs & Terry chapel with interment in Holy Cross. Rev. Father Brown will officiate. Mass will be said next week. The little girl was born in Tucson Ariz., but came here with her parents six years ago. She attended St. Joseph's Academy, where she has received her entire schooling.* Surviving her are the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Efker, and Robert, Richard and Marlon, brothers and sister. MANY MOURN LILLIAN RUSSELL PITTSBURG, June 9.—Friend from the stage and officialdom thronged the Trinity Episcopal church at the funeral of Lillian Russell Moore, former well known actress. United States marines were sentinels at the doors of the death room and escorted the body to the church and cemetery. An American Legion squad fired a salute. J. C. Penney Co., are two of our new lieutenants. They know the merchandising game and they understand and appreciate the public. They are both Penhey men, but from them you get value received for every dollar you spend with them. If you are not buying, why talk to them—they are intelligent and all around good fellows. Each petition was signed by a large number of interested property owners. One petition asked that Lemon-st from North-st north to the state highway be paved on each side like a downtown city street. Another petition asked that the same be done with Los Angeles-st from North-st to a point on the state highway slightly west of the junction with Lemon-st. The third asked for the paving of North-st from Los Angeles-st to the Santa Fe tracks. Before council proceeds with paving, modern sewer lines and water mains are put down, to prolong as far as possible the time when paving must be cut up. Paving projects already proposed by council will deplete all available funds in the city tax money and sewer and water bond fund voted last July. So, the only alternate, it appears is to wait until more tax money is available or another bond issued is called. It is know there are many voters disposed to issue more bonds in order to keep up with the growth of the city. Councilman Gibbs suggested last night that new subdivisions be provided with sewers and water mains by promoters the same as they now provide sidewalks and curbs. This is done in many cities. Mills requested council approve a change in the subdivision of his 26-acre tract at North and Los Angeles-st so there will be three streets opening off North-st instead of two. This is desired to make shorter and cheaper lots. He was instructed to bring in a drawing to show the proposed changes. Mills plans to have all sidewalks, curbs, paving and ornamental curbs installed and charge up to the lots. FRUIT SALES TODAY PITTSBURGH: Steady oranges, firm lemons; oranges $3.20 to $5.30, lemons $3.95. BOSTON: Unchanged oranges, higher lemons; oranges $6.00 to $7.40, lemons $6.35 to $8.55. BUILDING PERMITS Mrs. B. O. Chapman, frame residence at 810 So. Philadelphia-st, cost $100. Mrs. Emma Van Dame, frame garage at $27 So. Helena-st, cost $125. THE THERMOMETER Minimum 40 at 5 a.m. Maximum 70 at 1 p.m. LOCAL ELKS WIN RITUAL CONTEST Anaheim Elks are jubilant over the winning of the ritualistic contest by local lodge officials. The Anaheim officials were given an almost perfect score, within a fraction of 100 petals. Cause for special gratification was the fact that one of the teams topped by Anaheim was Alhambra, former champions. HARDING APPROVES POLICY WASHINGTON: June 9.—President Harding said he approved the policy of the Navy and Interior departments in dealing with the Saval oil reserves. He transmitted to Congress a long report of Secretary Fall regarding the reserves. More than 50 per cent of the output of packed walnut meats of last season has been sold, says the report. The rest of the meats, despite "very heavy importations of walnut meats from China, France and the Balkan States," will be closed out shortly it is expected, and final returns made to the association's three plants. The traffic manager of the association will continue to work for further freight reductions and it is hoped to get a rate of $1.00 per hundred pounds to Eastern markets. The carload rate was cut 60 cents the past year. Many independent growers, particularly two very large ones, were added to the membership the past year. The addition of a walnut specialist to the extension department of the University of California, who is stationed at the Riverside station, is announced. Work on the Stenburg ranch in Hemet has demonstrated according to the field department, that "an extremely badly injured bearing grove can be brought back to normal conditions by proper irrigation practice." When the experiment started in the fall of 1918, the Steinburg property was in, in the opinion of the field department, one of the most badly injured and thus one of the poorest walnut properties in the whole state of California." ealer AGE COUNTY BUILDING PERMITS TELL STORY OF ANAHEIM'S GROWTH Year 1921..... $1,254,875 No. of Permits..... 302 Year 1920..... 879,960 No. of Permits..... 564 TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR HARDING INSISTS HUSBAND IS TELLING TRUTH MILLION RY.

The former Brooklyn girl invites her husband is telling the truth in the mystery of the death of Clarence Peters and that no woman was involved. She has denied the rumor that she had contemplated bringing a divorce suit against her husband. SPEND MONEY AS SAILORS INGERMANY In response to a request made to him before he left, The Plain Dealer is pleased to publish the following from Wm. Falkenstein who is touring Europe. He says: "After a very enjoyable trip across the ocean without the least bit of seasickness we reached Nordhausen. We surely are enjoying our stay here very much. Their suffering during the war was terrible. It cannot be described. But Germany today is absolutely a marvel. Altho the state as such is absolutely bankrupt, the individual is simply rolling in money. That means those who are in business, also the workingman and farmer. They are spending money like drunken sailors. The people living on their incomes are hard off and are having difficulty to make both ends meet. The activities are simply unbelievable. "We are staying here at the finest hotel, have a beautiful parlor and a fine room with three single beds adjoining. We are paying for it 150 marks per day. You know what that means in our No Question of Executive's Power to Suspend Labor Board Order, Says Unionists CINCINNATI, O., June 9.—Drafting of an appeal to President Harding to prevent the $109,000,000 wage cuts recently ordered by the United States railway labor board being made effective July 1 was begun here today by a special committee representing 1,200,000 shop and maintenance of way employees of the railroads. "Suspend the wage reductions until we have had an opportunity to prove to the country and to labor board their inequity and the disastrous effect their enforcement will have upon the workers," was to be the gist of the appeal. A week will be required in its preparation, B.M. Jewell, head of the railroad employer's department, American Federation of Labor, said today. Statistical experts of the railroad unions began preparation of a detailed analysis of the wage and cost of living situation. The decision to appeal to Harding was reached late last night at an executive meeting of the union leaders representing virtually all the crafts hit by the wage reductions. There is no question of Harding's power to suspend the operation of the labor board's order, union leaders said. SUMMER BIBLE SCHOOL The Vocational Bible School at Garden Grove will open in the union high school June 19. Children from four years of age up are welcome. The school was a big success last year, its first year. TRAVEL UP 50 PCT. WITH LOWER RATES Jumps of more than 50 per cent in the receipts of the local stations of the So. Pac and the Santa Fe, following the taking effect of the summer excursion rates, are announced by agents. The reduction, which took effect at different dates in May are in some instances nearly 50 per cent. D. G. Maltby of the S. P., said that even allowing for the cuts, receipts had mounted the percentage mentioned. Travel both back East, within the state to various resorts north and south and to resorts outside the state has increased tremendously, says Maltyb. Typical rate cuts are: to San Francisco and back, ordinary fare $36 for round trip, summer rate $24 on season ticket and $22.50 Friday the state as such is absolutely bankrupt, the individual is simply rolling in money. That means those who are in business, also the workingman and farmer. They are spending money like drunken sailors. The people living on their incomes are hard off and are having difficulty to make both ends meet. The activities are simply unbelievable. "We are staying here at the finest hotel, have a beautiful parlor and a fine room with three single beds adjoining. W eare paying for it 150 marks per day. You know what that means in our money. This noon for lunch we ate at the hotel and had soup, fish, roast beef, lemonade, bread and butter and dessert for 120 marks for the three of us. It was first class in every respect. Nordhausen has improved immensely since I was here last and is very lively. In fact, it looks to me as lively as Hanover, a city of 400,000. Of course, we are living in the center of business and everything looks prosperous. The ready-to-wear stores carry beautiful styles and I saw this morning in one window the prettiest volleys I ever layed my eyes on. They were very nicely displayed. The people are exceedingly well dressed and look sleek and fat, not one bit of suffering visible anywhere. The streets, the parks, the squares—everything looks well kept and clean. They had a very severe winter and suffered a great deal from lack of coal. There is everything to be had in the way of eatables and wearables but it takes money for the home folks to buy it." SUGAR MAGNATE DIES NEW, YORK, June 9.—The vice-president of the American Sugar Co., Henry Thomas Oxnard, 62, is dead here. He had extensive interests in California. The town of Oxnard being named for him. MARKET STRONGER WITH HOT WEATHER Eighty cars of cantaloupes were shipped out of imperial Valky yesterday and 35 on Wednesday, according to official reports. The market for the chief competition of the valencia as well as for valencias themselves is stronger on account of warm weather in the East. BUTLER ROBS U.S. WOMAN IN BERLIN BERLIN, June 9.—A crook who ingratiated himself into her employ as a butler, robbed Mrs. Warren Deano Robbins, wife of the counselor of the American embassy. She has been called the "most beautiful woman in the diplomatic corps."
