Initiation dues are easily paid. All that is necessary is 100 per cent loyalty to your city. I advise you to join as there is the greatest feeling of satisfaction when you have put yourself on record as a booster. Remember that every time you are boosting your neighbor you are boosting yourself. This Buy-In-Anaheim campaign is the first offensive of the army of boosters. Old General Dollar will send his forces out to surround the dollars of the enemy and force them to surrender to the greater service and value of the boosters forces. Don't be a slacker, but enlist both yourself and your dollars right now so that they will be able to secure training for the big fray. All reads lead to the Five Point Service Station, the public service institution handling gas and oil and other things. Out at West Center and West-sts the efficient activities of this place radiate in five different directions. And here is the sixth pointer—Courtney H. Clarke, capable man and much travelled is now in charge of matters there. He has purchased the lease on the premises and he is going to make some improvements in an already competent service. Watch his progress. He has been around the oil fields for years and he knows the petroleum game. Did you ever stop to reflect that taxes and civic improvements are paid for out of local prosperity and not through the prosperity of some other localities? Then how the deuce do respect to get the playgrounds and civic advantages you want in order to keep the prosperity that belongs to Anaheim here in Anaheim? Met a jolly good fellow the other day—Dave Robinson of the Anaheim Welding & Mfg. Co. Dave was wounded at San Juan Hill in Cuba and a savage in the Philippines speared him with a bolo. But Dave kept right on fighting and he did his bit, too. In the late scrap. Having spent 16 months in the boilermaking game or the Clvde in Bonny Scotland, Dave is a welder and boilermaker par excellence. He is now giving the people of Anaheim and Orange-co the benefits of his long experience—without the warfare. All Joshing aside, folks this Buy-In-Anaheim campaign is going to make us all more prosperous. When we realize that we are all to the wrong when we take Anaheim money outside of our district, just then we will get the benefits that we are entitled to. That's straight from the shoulder and the truth. And here are two little boosters of the first order—Messrs. Heffner and Charge Local Company Has Been Shipping Undesirable Oranges The warm weather today produced the first warrant for shipping frosted fruit in the county this year. The warrant was issued by the district attorney's office for the arrest of Don Maston, Anaheim manager of the Joseph Jentell Fruit Co. Complaint was registered by Geo. W. Sloop, deputy county horticulural commissioner after he broke open seven boxes of fruit prepared for shipment by the company and found more than 15 per cent of a transverse section showed more than 20 per cent dryness. According to A. A. Brock, county commissioner, the Jentell company has been suspected for some time.

Heffner has been here since 1894—at that, he is still very young, so you son he grew up with Anaheim—and McGillivray came down from Los Angeles not so long ago. The latter was a tire salesman on the road for many years and both of these "rubber revolutionists" are thoroughbreds when it comes to tires or the repair of tires. The McClaren, India and Racine tires are there to be sold to you at small cost. Look into their store and carry away their splendid service. Do you notice the Saturday night crowds on Center-st? If you buy at home consistently and everlastingly, Center-st will look that way every day in the year, beginning to take on that aspect very shortly after you decide to be loyal to the old town.

Wacker, of West Almond Orange was totally wrecked Saturday night about 9 p'clock, when Charles Wacker, the son, lighted a match in the garage where he had been drawing gasoline from the tank to pour into his own Ford, standing outside. The young man was badly burned on his hand and arm, but the garage, being of brick was not destroyed. The doors being open prevented a more serious accident, perhaps when the explosion occurred. The fire company, stationed half a black distant, kept streams of water playing on the residence of W. A. Weaver about 25 feet from the garage.

President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers is here for a conference on the matter.

Aldridge and Frank Beels were arraigned before Judge French in the Fullerton police court this morning, and fined $150 each. They paid the fine and promised to reform. They were arrested Saturday night about 10 o'clock by V. E. Barnhill of the Fullerton police force after their Chandler car had collided with the Dodge car of an oil man living on the Murphy lease.

There was only one man in the Dodge car. No one was injured. The booze cache consisted of two gallons of gin, and two quarts of whiskey. The two men watched the police pour the whole cache into the sewer this morning, and when each of them kissed $150 goodbye they affirmed that they were "broke"—from ever carrying booze again. WARNS DEFENSE AS ROMAN IS QUIZZED LOS ANGELES, June 26.—While hundreds of men and women struggled to gain entrance to the courtroom, the defense today opened a bitter attack upon the testimony of Paul Roman, surprise witness for the state in the second trial of Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain, charged with the murder of J. Belton Kennedy last August. The greatest crowd that has yet attempted to hear evidence in the Kennedy murder case trials thronged Buena Vista street in front of the Hall of Justice today. With a small portion of the monster crowd seated in the courtroom, the attorneys for Mrs. Obenchain opened their cross-examination of Roman. This was expected to develop into one of the most severe court grillings staged here in recent years. Counsel for the defense declared that they had received a warning to "lay off Roman" before entering PROBLEMS Railroad Commission Conducts Hearing on West Anaheim Concern The question of the supplying of water by the West Anaheim Water Co. to non-stockholders, the amount of water required for irrigation and the amount available was threshed out today at a hearing of the State Railroad Commission at the city hall on the rules, regulations and water supply of the company. Hugh Gordon, examiner, appeared for the commission, Leonard Evanus, attorney, for the company, and E. C. Dutton in behalf of the petitioners, including himself, J. B. Stewart, Ida F. Dutton and A. G. Thompson. At the outset of the hearing, before the taking of evidence began, Dutton announced that he had seen Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson and that the latter had agreed to prosecute the company if it could be shown that a crime had been committed. Leonard Evans said that the company could not consider the question whether the company had committed a crime before the commission, which had no jurisdiction in such a matter. Dutton declared the company had issued and sold stock without authorization by the commission. In the course of the hearing, it developed that the company had applied to the commissioner of corporations and received permission to issue stock, of which 125 shares have been sold, largely to previous non-stockholders. At the present time therefore there are practically no consumers who are not stockholders except Mexican occupants of land adjacent to the S. P. Ry. Privately Dutton asserted that the petitioners always contended that he commission had jurisdiction and that the company had denied such jurisdiction. The principal witnesses today were Robert Jausen, secretary of the company, and Wm. G. Mason, a director of the Mutual Water Co., and member of the Tri-County Reforestation Committee. Among those present were W. Houts, company director; Godfrey J. Stock, superintendent of the company's plants; J. F. Ahlborn, Charles Eygabroad, Supervisor William E. Schumacher, Mayor William Stark, and those mentioned. Attorney Evans in behalf of the company voiced a doubt of the jurisdiction of the commission over the company, a question which later it became evident was involved with that of whether it was a public utility, which likewise was involved in whether the company had the legal right to sell water to non-stockholders. The testimony of Secretary Jansen GOV. SMALL'S WIFE DIES OF OVERJOY KANKAKEE, Ill., June 16.—Mrs. Len Small, wife of Il'inois governor, died today of overjoy over her husband's acquittal. Mrs. Small was stricken with paralysis when a blood vessel burst in her brain Saturday night. No hope was held out for her recovery after the stroke. Specialists rushed to her bedside declared the nerve strain of the trial, coupled with the great joy of her husband's victory, caused her death. She was stricken just after a rousing homecoming celebration by thousands of friends of the governors family, which had concluded on the lawn of the small mansion. Turning to her husband, she said: "I believe I am going to be ill." Those were her last words. She collapsed in his arms. DISABLED VETERANS IN ANNUAL PARLEY SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.—Twenty thousand men who were wounded, disabled, or partially disabled in the World War, met in San Francisco today for the annual convention of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War.

JAPS TO WITHDRAW TROOPS WASHINGTON, June 26.—The state department was today advised that the Japanese government would withdraw all troops from Siberia by the end of October. The greatest crowd that has yet attempted to hear evidence in the Kennedy murder case trials thronged Buena Vista street in front of the Hall of Justice today. With a small portion of the monster crowd seated in the courtroom, the attorneys for Mrs. Obenchain opened their cross-examination of Roman. This was expected to develop into one of the most severe court grillings staged here in recent years. Counsel for the defense declared that they had received a warning to "lay off Roman" before entering the court room this morning. While Mrs. Obenchain's attorneys refused to divulge the nature of their attack on Roman's story, it is said that they have uncovered evidence by which they will attempt to prove that Roman's allegations about Mrs. Obenchain are based on a cunning plot on his part. FORDNEY ANNOUNCES HE'LL QUIT CONGRESS WASHINGTON, June 26.—Representative Joseph W. Fordney of the Eighth Michigan district, chairman of the powerful house ways and means committee, announced today that he would retire from congress at the end of the present congress.

OREGON MAN KILLED IN NIGHTMARE FALL CHICAGO, June 26.—F. C. Owen, a stockholder of the Owen Stock Co., of Medford, Ore., plunged to his death from the fifth floor window of a hotel here early this morning. His death is believed to have been caused by a nightmare, which made him smash through the safety screen of the window. Comparative figures might be learned, Atty. Evans suggested, by comparison with other wells and companies. Water was distributed, said Jansen, on orders from consumers, for irrigation only. Several company exhibits were placed in evidence. Company Exhibit No. 1 by Dutton was the articles of incorporation, in which the stockholders were mentioned and did not include many added later; Company Exhibit No. 2, record of stock issued, when and to whom, throughout history of company; Company Exhibit No. 3, the record of water supplied to non-stockholders during Jansen's incumbency of office. Jansen said he had no knowledge of any stock issued since 1911. He read the names of those to whom stock was issued the past year or two, and a corrected copy of this was the one filed as Exhibit No. 3. Regarding the amount of water supplied, Jansen said it differed in different years, amounting from one to one and one-half hours, according to the year. The directors themselves fixed the amount of water to be supplied, Jansen testified. The amount of water supplied to individual growers in any one season, he said, depen- (Continued on page three) ealer ANGE COUNTY BUILDING PERMITS TELL STORY OF ANAHEIM'S GROWTH Year 1921 $1,254,875 No. of Permits 862 Year 1920 879,080 No. of Permits 504 TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR R.

OF C. CAMPAIGN TUESDAY Thirty workers will start out tomorrow morning in a two days campaign which will mark the beginning of the third year of the Anaheim C. of C. "If this Chamber of Commerce has done nothing else in the last two years than to put over the Second Annual California Valencia Orange Show, it would have justified its existence and its call for united effort on the part of every citizen in Anaheim," said J. H. Blackmore, campaign director of the American City Bureau, in speaking before the Rotary Club today at luncheon. He also pointed out that the growth of Anaheim in the last two years from a population of 5,526 to 10,000 represented both a measure of the value of co-operation of citizens which had brought it about and also a need for much greater increase of the active support and income of the C. of C. to keep pace with the larger population and the greater work resulting from the growth of the community. Three hundred people are to be called on to sign new subscriptions to the membership and service fund or to pay up their obligation already made. The healthful condition of the Chamber is shown in the small number of delinquent accounts to come forward without being called upon.

VICTIMS Mrs. Seney Also Suffers Sprained Back When Stage Goes Over Bank William Seney, 25, stage manager at the California theater, and his two-months-old baby were killed and Mrs. Seney suffered a badly sprained back when a southbound Pickwick stage plunged over a steep grade on a sharp curve near Sims, 40 miles north of Redding, yesterday afternoon. hTe large car, containing ten passengers, skidded, turned over and fell top downward over a 40-foot embankment. Seney and his baby were pinned under the stage and killed as was also an unidentified man. Mrs. seney and Charles Caldwell, of Toronto, who was also seriously injured, were taken to a hospital at Dunsmuir. The other passengers suffered slight injuries. Seney had been stage manager of the California ever since the opening last October, being brot from Pomona, where he had also been with a West Coast theater, by Manager Jack Retlaw. The Seneys had resided in Marita-ct, just north of the theater on Clementine-st. Seney was a "prince of a good fellow," and a fine stage manager, according to associates, who recalled today how he had left two weeks ago with high anticipations of the pleasures of a well-deserved vacation. The Seneys were returning from Portland when the accident occurred. STORES READY FOR BARGAIN FESTIVAL Anaheim's stores have never looked brighter or offered a finer assemblage of good things to wear and eat or use than they will on Thursday at the Bargain Festival.

The strike call will be sent out Thursday ordering the men to walk out Saturday, according to best available information. The vote of the 11 railroad unions affiliated with the railroad department of the American Federation of Labor has been overwhelming in favor of the walkout in preference to acceptance of wage cuts and rule revision ordered by the United States labor board. Moves by the board to avert one of the causes for a strike by ordering railroads to cease letting out work under contract will not prevent a walkout, union leaders indicated.
