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. 272 NEW MINI Buy in Anaheim and G-R-E-A-T-E-R PROSPERITY By the Mysterious Cowboy Statistics tell us that the average family must have at least one thousand dollars a year to maintain a livelihood. This is the low down figure and will not allow of many frivolities. That being the case, for every one hundred and fifty miles arriving yearly, the town is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars better off. The arrivals as stated above are far below the annual family increase of Anaheim. You may imagine, then, the amount of money that can be deducted from your earnings. SHARP DROP IN LOUPE MARKET Heat Wave Hasn't Hurt Oranges Yet, Says G. W. Sandilands The phenomenal prices for Imperial Valley cantaloupes, which reached $10 per crate for the best specimens soon after the opening of the season about three weeks ago, have been more than cut in two owing to the heavy shipments. The last day of two the melons have been bringing only $3.50 per crate, with $1.40 to be deducted from their earnings. Night Mare A Whole Neighbour "Murder! Help! This and other shrieks made the city still hours later. Geo. W. Hamble those who grabbed and sought to shoot assassin. But it was only the O. Vanatta hailed Clementine-st, having mared. Neighbors couldn't have been or penetrating if been dying at a murder. This morning the night mare was the vicinity whose been disturbed and know all about it. Statistics tell us that the average family must have at least one thousand dollars a year to maintain a living standard. This is the low down figure and will not allow of many frivolities. That being the case, for every one hundred and fifty miles arriving yearly, the town is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars better off. The arrivals as stated above are far below the annual family increase of Anaheim. You may imagine, then, the amount of money that expended here yearly by this increase in population. Interesting figures and true—don't you think so? Every family should have a sewing machine as a part of the household and every mother and grown daughter should be able to operate the machine. Without it the home would be incomplete and milady's wardrobe would be lessened. The Singer is the machine to buy and G. W. Shoupe is the man to see. He has spent many years in this business and let it be said that he is the type of man who has put the sewing machine business on a better standard. The Singer, of course, is perfect and after you buy a Singer from Mr. Shoupe, he gives you Singer service for three or four years. Besides he repairs all makes of sewing machines and he has some fine bargains in used sewing machines, also. We have spoken of the new arsenal who reach this city and horoscope; they will all buy their livings requirements in the city of their choice. Anaheim and Anaheim's merchants are offering the people a service second to none when it comes to quality, and the prices are consistent with sound merchandising. But remember, Anaheim has no great overhead to pay for. You get the benefit of that on each and every article you buy. If your auto has been in a jam—don't worry. Take it immediately to the Anaheim Auto Sheet Metal Works and they will make it look as good as the day it came out of the factory. Mr. Beisert, the proprietor, showed me how the work is done and I'm here to tell you that he has reduced his work to a scientific art. No matter how badly dented or torn, these master menders will make it new. And they are bears on radiators, body work and everything. It is probably the most complete shop of its kind in the county. If this weather keeps up I will have to take the old "mill" (typewriter I mean) and go down to the seacoast to finish up. Changed to B. V. D.s a few days ago and am now contemplating getting a suit of mosquito netting. At that a fellow can always pull over the blanket for a good night's rest. Did you know that the Anaheim Feed and Fuel Co. furnished about two thirds of the seeds that are used in our farm? Oranges Yet, Says G. W. Sandilands The phenomenal prices for Imperial Valley cantaloupes, which reached $10 per crate for the best specimens soon after the opening of the season about three weeks ago, have been more than cut in two owing to the heavy shipments. The last day of two melons have been bringing only $3.50 per crate, with $1.40 to be deducted from that per freight and refrigeration en route and 15 per cent of $3.50 for commissions to the commission houses. The crowding of the market is to blame, according to Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Ass'n., who pointed out that 350 cars per day had been the previous record, whereas this week shipments have reached close to 500 cars. In addition, Georgia has begun to ship the melons at the rate of 100 cars per day or better. And other southern states are beginning to ship. Prices may stiffen some again, when the supply is out. Interest in the competition of the current rival of the Valencia orange has given way temporarily to the threat carried in the warm weather in certain valencia districts. According to Sandilands there has been no danger, much less loss so far, but it is impossible to predict what may happen, because weather forecasts more than a day or two ahead are unsafe. At San Bernardino the temperature has reached 112 degrees, but not for sustained periods. The last disastrous heat wave was about the middle of July, 1917, when the crops in certain usurpts were completely ruined. Anaheim then had a fair crop. MRS. SUSIE DEGRYSE PASSES AWAY THURS.

Some public service institution and a great concern when it comes to centering trade in this city. I was talking about these things to Mr. Vall, one of the partners and the Herbert Hoover of the Animal kingdom. They have everything for the farmer and many things for the urban population. And the beauty of it is, they buy direct from the farmer and in return sell it to the farmer for a fair price. Big store, big warehouse and full of many useful lines associated with the feed and fuel business.

Every Merchant Joins In Big Barguin Festival With the Anaheim city band parading the streets for two hours in the afternoon, and the stores at their brightest and prettiest, the community's first Bargain Festival is expected to draw thousands of patrons and good time seekers here next Thursday. For the first time in the city's history every merchant in town has joined heartily in the movement to make the city's merchants and merchandise known to all residents in the Anaheim trading area. While the principal merchants have taken the lead as usual, all are co-operating. Earl B. Tozier, leader of the band, is preparing a program that will set every foot on Center, Los Angeles and Clementine-sts to dancing. Tozier is assembling 20 piece for the concert, which will be brought people instead of the people to go to it.

This morning the rider of the night mare was the only one in the vicinity whose sleep hadn't been disturbed and "who didn't know all about it. JAMES QUITS DETECTIVE AGENCY Rev. J. Harrie, James' Friend, Undoubtedly Author of Klan Letters L. R. James, former Santa Ana manager for the Nick Harris Detectives, has left the force. Harry Diamond, otherwise known as the Rev.

Duckworth on the widening of Chestnut-st, from Los Angeles to Lemon-st., a distance of 552 feet. The street will be widened ten feet to the south. But it was only a rooomer at the O. Vanaita home, 117 No. Clemestine-st, having a night mare. Neighbors say, his shrieks couldn't have been more realistic or penetrating if he had really been dying at a murderer's hand. This morning the rider of the night mare was the only one in the vicinity whose sleep hadn't been disturbed and who didn't know all about it. Incidental to the opening of the Concordia park and clubhouse, it will be interesting to know that since the plan to build, the membership has nearly doubled.

AFRICA Raymond Nebelung, son of Max Nebelung, the well known Anaheim anchor, who is at Pretoria, South Africa, as citrus specialist for the British government, contributes an Rev. J. Harrie, James Friend, Undoubtedly Author of Klan Letters L. R. James, former Santa Anamanager for the Nick Harris Detectives, has left the force. Harry Diamond, otherwise known as the Rev. Jay Harrie, James' friend, "unquestionably" was the man who put Orange-co into a turmoil with the writing of actual or apparent Ku Klux Klan letters to prominent Anaheimers. L. R. Mills, successor to James in Santa Ana, today brought these two pieces of information to the city on a trip thru here. Mills, in behalf of the agency, deplored the activities of James and agreed that it was for the agency's best good that James no longer was employed... According to James' own story, when he announced his prospective departure for Los Angeles, he had been transferred to a minor executive position in the main office and would again make his home in Glendale. James had had no experience in outside work, before he went to Santa Ana, said Mills, and the agency had found it a mistake to send him there. Regarding Diamond, Mills said that his connection with the Klan never had been actually ascertained. However, the list of members in most counties of the State have not been made public, as in Orange and Los Angeles counties. Mills has found himself considerably handicapped by the indiscreetness of James, who, following an offer to help Herman J. Efker or Anaheim run down the man who sent Efker a Ku Klux Klan or black mail letter, was accused by District Attorney A. P. Nelson of being a Klan member himself. James also accompanied Diamond when the latter threatened Efker with a gun at Efker's store.

A bomb was exploded but so far as known no one was killed. Many persons were wounded, however The situation is one of the utmost tension. Marshal Given Fund to Get Evidence Against Bootleggers City council last night accepted the report of Commissioner J. J. Schneider, James E. Stewart and Win-Duckworth on the widening of Chestnut-st. from Los Angeles to Lemon-st. a distance of 552 feet. The street will be widened ten feet to the south. The improvement district against which benefits and damages are assessed will include the first tier of lots on either side and also lots racing those on Los Angeles-st. The street will be 59.9 feet wide. The movement to widen the street was started by council last July 25. The commissioners were ready several months ago but their report was not written before for City Atty. Ames was too busy. Council protested that a bill handed in by the recently appointed motorcycle officer was larger than agreed upon. Chairman Gibbs of the finance committee stated it had been agreed the speed officer work only enough days each month to hold his bill under $60. The bill handed in last night was for $50 for about two weeks. The officer will be retained hereafter about seven days of eight hours each month or 14 days of four hours. His time will vary so that the speeders may never be certain they won't be picked up. Councilman Gibbs also stated he favored the allowance of a certain sum each month for Marshal Steadman to expend for plaid; coorners or officers in seeking out bootleggers; Other councilmen voiced approval.

Va., June 23—Two unidentified mine strikers, believed foreigners, were shot to death in an attack on a traction carload of deputy sheriffs, employees and officers of the Hudson Coal company. FINEST NUTS PACKED IN ANAHEIM Anticipating his annual report, which will be issued as usual next fall, Secretary-Manager George M. Ross of the Anaheim Walnut Growers' Assn has let some of his principal members know that during the last year the crop, just cleaned up, included only nine percent of seconds. While the reports of the other local member associations of the California Walnut Growers' Assn have not yet appeared, Ross is confident that this record is among the very highest if not the highest in the state. Ross' information came out when plans for using the new dust spray for aphis in the Anaheim district were discussed last night. A demonstration was in progress today at the ranch of A. M. Wright, East and Sycamore streets, conducted by an expert of a Los Angeles concerns distributing the spray. At the meeting of growers last night, including Gilbert Kraemer, J. J. Dwyer, James Owens and others, it was declared that there was no aphis in cassociation's groves. This the spray representative denied, asserting that while the trees looked green and healthy, the aphis was present and its effects would appear later. The aphis does not injure the nuts, but stunts them so that they have to act in the matter, but individual growers may do so. The Fords who have ranches in this and Santa Ana vicinities already are using the spray with a machine of their own. Certain Garden Grove growers also are using it. A Bayliss may be employed to use the spray here. Compared with the nine per cent of seconds here, only 10 per cent was achieved on a ranch of 200 acres in another section which used the spray. YACHT PURLOINER BANISHED FROM U.S. LOS ANGELES, June 23—On Cover Tracks in Illinois Massacre as Law Marks Time CLARKSBURG, W. Va., June 23—Two unidentified mine strikers, believed foreigners, were shot to death in an attack on a traction carload of deputy sheriffs, employees and officers of the Hudson Coal company. The men were killed when a mob of 150 strikers stormed the car, which was en route to the Lewis plant at Reynoldsville. The Lewis mine resumed as an open shop four days ago. James M. Deem, a deputy sheriff, suffered a broken arm in the battle and a dozen others were hurt. HERRIN, Ill., June 29—With the sheriff's office fearful and inactive, funds lacking with which to send state troops into the mine war area of "bloody Williams county," and the strikers in complete control of the situation, evidence of yesterday massacre of strikebreakers was being hastily covered up today. There was no probability of immediate arrests in connection with the cold-blooded slaying of the known victims of infiltrated strike sympathizers. Estimates of the coath toll reached 40. Feeling continued to run high against strikebreakers throughout the district and it was expected all evidence on which prosecutions might be based would be concealed before the authorities make a move. Further outbreaks seemed probable and a complete state of terror existed as it became apparent that no immediate steps were planned to curb the prevailing lawlessness. Attorney General Edward J. Brunidge declared lack of funds will prevent state aid in an investigation of the wholesale slayings. Appropriations for funds for such a purpose were vetoed by Gov. Len Small, he said, and no other government department could undertake a probe. Gov. Small, who sent telegrams to county authorities asking what steps have been taken to prevent further trouble and to prosecute the guilty, said he "would wait a few hours longer" before taking any steps. He would not state what steps he would take if local authorities failed to respond to his demands for an inquiry.

Among the witnesses were C. E. Bressler, Harry H. Dillon, foreman of the mixing crew; Frank Palmer and Juan Majel. Santana has been in Santa Ana only two months or so, going there from Mexico.
