News of Fullerton ROTARY CLUB LINES UP FOR BIG DRIVE F. C. Chamberlin, in charge of the Salvation Army drive in Fullerton, today aligned the Fullerton Rotary club in the drive when he addressed their weekly meeting at the Elks Club in Anaheim at noon today. Mr. Chamberlin says that full operation is now assured in the drive by the Elks, the American Legion, the Fullerton Kiwanis Club, the Fullerton Rotary Club and the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce. The drive begins tomorrow. Fullerton's quota is $1500, and Mr. Chamberlin says he is confident this amount will be raised. The past week has been spent in marshalling the army forces for the drive. TRUCK DRIVERS UP FOR OVER LOADS C. Edwards and Frank Conklin, truck drivers for the California Truck Co. of Los Angeles, were arraigned today before Judge French in the Fullerton police court on the charge of driving overloaded trucks thru the city. They had been dismissed by the district attorney on a county charge of this kind, it is said. The city case, however, was prosecuted by J. L. Lyon, city attorney, and the men were fined $150 each by Judge French, and sentenced to 60 days each in the county jail. The jail sentence, however, was suspended on payment of the fine. Mr. Lyon said that a few cases like that and truck people would learn not to drive overloaded trucks on the highway, and break up the good roads. H. Stone is scheduled to appear before Judge French this afternoon on a misdemeanor charge. NEW PAROCHIAL SCHOOL STARTED SUPERVISORS NAME ELECTION OFFICERS Appointment of 744 persons on election boards in the 124 precincts of the county, including the 11 in Anaheim, was the principal business of the Board of Supervisors at yesterday's meeting. Changes in the personnel of the Anaheim boards from that of the August primaries were few, according to County Clerk Joe Backs, who said the same conservative was followed in each city and town. The county clerk said that registration returns were coming in very slowly. Saturday at midnight is the final hour when the unregistered those who have changed their addresses since last registering may do so. Bids were opened for the improvement of 1¼ miles of the San Juan Hot Springs road extending from San Juan Capistrano eastward. The hearing on the proposed incorporation of Placentia does not come up again until next Tuesday. The claim of L. F. Cypher of Artesia for injuries which he alleged he suffered by colliding with a tar bucket owned by the county on the highway near Westminster was received Attorney S. B. Kaufman, represented Kaufman and Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley the county. A petition was received signed by 35 names from residents of highway district No. 14, of Placentia, urging the elimination of the proposed paving of two short spurs, leaving only Placentia avenue to be paved, the money saved to be used in gravelling roads. All property owners in the district will be asked to meet with the board on Oct. 17 at two p.m. to discuss the matter.

According to press few days ago, Rogers known statistician, de American people would for a 10 per cent cost of living, because tattriff bill. That Mr. Babson theory, so far as was cerned, is indicated by excerpt from a letter by California congressmen by the California W.Acce'n: "In refutation of made by interests which posed the passage of it to the effect that it able manufacturers and impose upon the public advised the wholesale turing trade of a mate in the price of both shelled walnuts. This at a time when the gives us a 200 per cec duty on shelled walnuts that you will be glad the efforts you put behind schedule, which result sage will not prove to be to embarrass you, nor gouge the American pallet." This year's walnut heaviest since 1918. It will not be less than pounds it is believed is valued at from $111, $130,000,000.00. "The opening prices virtually put California." NEW PAROCHIAL SCHOOL STARTED A permit was taken yesterday afternoon with E. S. Richman, Fullerton building inspector, for the erection of a Catholic school at 402-10 West Commonwealth ave., calling for an expenditure of $43750. The permit called for a school room, and a residence for the priest. It is planned to move the present church building to this place also, and the plans make provision for it, but no permit has been taken out yet. Mr. Richman says Work on the school plant has already begun. RECORDS BREAK IN ADVANCED SCHOOLS The Fullerton H. S. and Junior College enrollment has gone above the 1000 mark, although no definite announcement can yet be made as to the exact number enrolled. The H. S. grounds are literally teeming with pupils. A definite announcement is expected to be made tomorrow from the office of L. E. Plummer principal, as to the exact number of pupils enrolled. Night Driver—“Look at those lights!

Mrs. C. R. Little of Whittier underwent an operation at the Fullerton hospital yesterday. C. A. Spohn of Buena Park underwent an operation at the Fullerton hospital last night. NEW HOSPITAL PATIENTS New patients at the local Sanitarium include: Robert M. Robertson, Santa Ana; L. N. Laird, Los Angeles; Mrs. Meridith D. Spencer, Huntington Beach; Edward Davis, La Habra, and Bryon Kirkpatrick, Long Beach CYPRESS ELATED OVER WINNING CUP The Cypress Farm Center met last night with a large turnout. The people of Cypress were very much elated over winning the silver cup at the county fair. Now that Cypress has been placed on the map, it will be up to them to hold their standard. Marie C. Brohen of Long Beach, gave a very interesting talk on the amendments No. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 24. Especially No. 2, showing how California had not maintained her standard on Prohibition, after the State Legislature had voted almost unanimously in favor of it. She also insisted that the citizens of California in the first place should register, next that they should maintain their citizenship by voting. There were several other very good speakers. The single tax question was shown up to be very dangerous, not only to the farming industry, but to the state as a whole.

Forrest F. Fowler SAFE RELIABLE INSURANCE 109 E. Center St. Phone 1 WALNUT PRICE OFF DESPITE TARIFF Completely upsetting Roger Babson's opinion that the new tariff bill will increase the cost of living 10 per cent, the California Walnut Growers Ass'n named opening prices which reflect a decrease of fully 10 per cent over last year's price. The opening prices for this year are as follows: Number Ones, 22½ c; Number Twos, 17½ c; Fancy Budded 26c. Last year's closing price for Number Ones was 27c. The market opened at 24½ c but only stood at that point for a day, strengthening immediately and moving up to 27c. According to press dispatches a few days ago, Roger Babson well-known statistician, declared that the American people would have to suffer a 10 per cent increase in the cost of living, because of the new tariff bill. That Mr. Babson misapplied his theory, so far as walnuts are concerned, is indicated by the following excerpt from a letter just sent out to California congressmen and senators by the California Walnut Growers Acc'n: "In refutation of the assertions made by interests which strongly opposed the passage of the tariff bill to the effect that it simply will enable manufacturers and producers to impose upon the public, we have just advised the wholesale and manufacturing trade of a material reduction in the price of both unshelled and shelled walnuts. This happens just at a time when the new tariff bill gives us a 200 per cent increase in duty on shelled walnuts. We feel that you will be glad to know that the efforts you put behind the tariff schedule, which resulted in its passage will not prove to be a boomerang to embarrass you, nor a pretext to gouge the American people." This year's walnut crop is the heaviest since 1918. The production will not be less than 50,000,000 pounds it is believed. The harvest is valued at from $11,500,000.00 to $13,000,000.00.

This young man was approached by a salesman for a supposedly out-of-town tailoring establishment and after a preliminary remarks by the salesman, the young man ordered a suit, paid a deposit, and started to vizualize how could see him. All dolled up is a wonderfully constructed suit of clothes. As time comes along and goes by, day by day, he tries to forget the "suit that never came." The experience of this young man may be like others in Anaheim, and President Renner of the Anaheim Patall Merchants Protective Assn. was everybody to be reminded that solicitors from outside of Anaheim are to be dealt with carefully. There are all kinds of solicitors and peddlers entering Anaheim at this time," said Mr. Renner. "but when the license ordinance now being prepared for presentation to the city trustees by our association and the C. of C., the buying public will be protected from fakirs who have in the past entered the city and sold inferior goods at superior prices, such as furs, dry goods, laces and the like." The ordinance will be presented at the next meeting of the city trustees. The new ordinance is designed to protect every Anaheim merchant and business man from invasion from outside interests that have hitherto contributed practically nothing to the tax till of the city. MAN MASTERS BIRDS' SECRET The secret of bird flight has been discovered. Such is the news that comes out of Germany where in a contest with engineerless glider planes the German aviator, Hentsen, remained in the air 2 hours, rising at one time six-tenths of a mile and landing 6 miles from the starting place. The secret is learning the use of air currents. The wings of the glider are slanted downward for momentum and banked upward against a strengthening wind. The operator is able to soar in great figure eights, crossing and recrossing the landing field at will, or swerving across the country in a direct leeway flight. The Versailles Treaty forbade Germany to manufacture airplane engines of more than 60 horsepower. This put inventive German youths at work upon the problem of motorless flying and mankind has learned something new and useful. This is a free country, and all that sort of thing, but there is a growing Wilderness. During a part of the Civil War he served in the same company with the late President McKinley and the late President Hayes. REALTY OPERATOR MAKES STATEMENT Answering charges of unfair tactics made against him by some local real estate man, Fritz Horbach of the Golden State Realty Co., this morning made the following statement: "I am surely glad to see the local reality board working for cleaner dealing, for I believe strongly in honest work, which is the best advertising and the only way to success. Again I am sorry I could not attend yesterday's hearing, but I was not notified of it. It would have cleared several obstacles out of the way and avoid trouble. As I understand the charges were that there was no hot water in the bathroom as represented and that part of the furniture was gone. I have never shown the buyer the bathroom, nor said a word of hot and cold water in it. He inspected it several times, but not in my presence. As to the furniture missing, a complete list of every piece to go with the place was put in escrow in the First National Bank and everyone of them was there when the deal was closed. As to the statement signed by the buyer, he offered to cancel the deal if we could persuade the seller to do so. So we cancelled the deal, gave the buyer the money back, the seller even paid for expenses already made, and we all parted good natured and are all friends today." Courtship makes a fellow spoon, but marriage makes him fork over. ASKS HAYS TO HEAD DRIVE WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.—Will H. Hays, film monarch, will be asked by President Harding to head a commission to raise funds in this country for the Near East relief, it was believed here today. In appointing the commission the President defended the administration policy on Near East matters. He said the United States would aid refugees in every possible way, but will not use armed intervention to bring about peace. Americans are a level-headed bunch, and the prospects are that in spite of all their troubles they will keep cool this winter. DEMONSTRATING SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL Joseph Presser, an ex-teacher from Rhode Island, has discovered new cheap fuel mixture to supplant coal. He has been experimenting three years. The fuel is produced by disintegrating water and combining its oxygen with oil which gives an intense heat at one third cost of coal. He uses colls of copper tubing piled coil on coll to height of three feet. MYSTERIOUS COWBOY BUYS STUDE SEDAN The Mysterious Cowboy, author of the series of drawings of prominent Anaheim business men now appearing in The Plain Dealer, was back in the city today after an absence of several weeks and took advantage of the opportunity to buy a Studcbaker sedan of Harry D. Riley. CITRUS GROWERS PLAN EXCURSION All arrangements have been completed for the Third Annual Citrus Growers excursion to the Citrus Experiment station at Riverside, Friday, Oct. 6th. Many growers from all parts of the county have indicated their intention of joining. All cars joining the excursion will meet in front of the First National Bank at Olive at 8:30 a.m. Friday, leaving promptly to arrive at 10 at the Rubidoux station where growers will be received by Dr. J. T. Barret, acting director. Following Dr. Barrett's welcome, the growers will be taken through the various plots by the specialist in charge. The fertilizer plots will be of special interest to Orange-co growers. They have been conducted for 14 years and valuable data has been obtained from them. The variety and root stock plots are of particular importance to those growers who are contemplating planting new groves or topworking old groves. No grower should miss this opportunity of getting first hand information from the specialists who have studied the different phases of citrus culture in detail. Those who do not bring their own lunch will be given sufficient time during the noon hour to get their lunch in Riverside. The excursion will return to Orange-co in time for the farmers to do their chores. All citrus growers of the county are invited to take this trip. ANAHEIM HOTELS DO BIG BUSINESS Indicating the increased prosperity of the hotels and apartment and rooming houses in Anaheim, J. J. Abell, proprietor of the Valencia Hotel, said today that his establishment was handling a fine voume of patronage, with an occasional overflow. Abell took over the lease and occupied the hotel on May 18. Recently he completed the renovation and re-fitting of the 60 rooms, adding to bedroom facilities, installing various public conveniences, such as a drinking fountain on the first floor, and giving the place a thorough house-cleaning. The hotel now, according to Abell, is the best and cleanest between here and San Diego. B. F. Shipley, former proprietor of the Avis Hotel, Pomona, is manager. Abell reports that a considerable proportion of the guests are men interested in establishing themselves in the city. The Colonial of which Vic LaMont is the proprietor, still maintains a waiting list from which apartment tenants are chosen. The Antlers Hotel has been doing a capacity business and last night was compelled to turn away many guests, according to J. W. Corder, the manager. Harry B. Washburn former proprietor, relinquished control on Monday of this week. The Southland Hotel, another important rooming house, has been doing a nice business, in spite of the increased rooming facilities here, the proprietor said today. The general scouting about the material indicates that college sport will be placed on a hire plane this year. The graduating exercises in the School of Experience are presided over by the undertaker. Saturday Special!
