Fullerton ADDED ATTRACTION—At 3-5, 7-9 P.M. an actual demonstration of the much-talked of feat that is exclusively Maxwell— Shifting from Low to Reverse At 20 Miles Per Hour PLAN ATTRACTIVE BUNGALOW-ST UPON ODD-SHAPED LOTS Contractors Wilson & Bever are planning a novel bungalow-ct on an L-shaped tract fronting on Citron and Chestnut-st. A 42-foot lot facing on Citron-st runs back 197 feet and joins with the rear of a 50-foot lot facing on Chestnut-st. An attractive cement driveway will follow around the "L" on which will face eight modern and separate stucco bungalows of four rooms each. Lighting the driveway will be an ornamental light on each front porch. The idea might well be copied by owners of other deep and odd-shaped lots of which there are a number by reason of the generous proportions of the original city tracts. Each bungalow will have small lawn and walk at side and rear with individual clothes lines. The house, which will be 22x24, will have living room, bedroom, kitchen with breakfast nook, bathroom and enclosed laundry porch with stationery tub and room for washer. The latest built-in features will include wall bed and there will be tiled floor in bathroom and tiled drain board in kitchen. A feature will be an ice-box into which the tee may be placed from an opening in the side of the house. Another feature will be an opening from the bathroom for soiled linen. Because of the reasonable price at which the odd-shaped real estate was obtained, the total investment will not be more than $28,000 which will permit very reasonable rentals. "I am more than ever convinced that the crying need of Anaheim is reasonable rentals," said L. R. Wilson today. "My father started construction of a small house on the rear of a lot a week ago. Since then he has had at least 20 opportunities to rent it." Persimmon Growers Plan Organization At a preliminary meeting of representative growers from Orange, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara-co, held at Whittier, unanimous action was arrived at to organize the persimmon growers of So. Calif. into a department of the Farm Bureau. The functions of this department will be intercounty. A temporary organization was perfected at this meeting, with the following officers H. E. Wahlborg, Santa Ana, chairman and W. S. Roseerana of Los Angeles, secretary. Committees were appointed to submit to the next meeting a desirable constitution and by-laws for the proposed organization, and also a program of work for the coming year. Mr. Geo. W. Sherwood of Fullerton, a representative from Orange-co, declared that one of the principal projects of this organization should be that of organizing the marketing facilities for this crop. Other delegates from Orange and Los Angeles-co pointed out that owing to the lack of information on cultural practice the Persimmon Growers Department should adopt an educational program to begin with, in order that present and prospective growers might have a better fund of scientific information available. The next meeting of persimmon growers will be held at Whittier Saturday, April 7th at 10 a.m. All growers interested in this organization are invited to be present. Further details may be obtained from the Farm Bureau office at Santa Ana. Invitations will be sent out to the list of growers that is available. FOSTERS ABANDONE LONG BEACH WELL (With Oil Operators) The Fred B. Foster Co., had the courage of their convictions to abandon at Long Beach when the outlook did not look encouraging. PLACENTIA PLACENTIA, March 8.—(Spl.)—Mrs. Lisle R. Morehouse and Mrs. Lewis Edwardson were hostesses to the Jolly Nine on Friday evening at the home of Mrs. Edwardson. The evening started off propitiously with a chicken dinner which everyone fully appreciated. Five hundred was the diversion of the evening, the spacious rooms being delightfully cozy with the card tables and the gay assemblage present. Pink and green, carried out in sweetpeas, roses and hyacinths added to the general effect and gaiety. The Ladies Social Circle held its regular meeting on Friday afternoon in the church parlor at which they completed considerable work. The No Name Club was entertained at the C. P. Smith home Thursday evening. Five hundred passed the time until dainty refreshments were served. Members present, beside the host and hostess were Measrs and Mesdames Delmar Salesbee, Keith Kennedy, E. A. Eisenacher, Shaw of Anaheim, Mrs. Annie Faust and Mrs. Stanger of Bres. The friends of Mrs. C. W. Blattner will be very sorry to hear that she received news of her mother's death on Friday. Mrs. L. G. Elvy of N. Main-st., entertained the bridge club on Thursday afternoon. Luncheon was served at one o'clock, followed by bridge and afternoon tea at five o'clock. The luncheon was served in the dining room and celebrated Washington's birthday anniversary in the decorations. Axes for place cards cherry trees in bloom, and flags and favors to correspond, made the daintily appointed table very pretty. Those enjoying Mrs. Elvy's hospitality were Mesdames M. W. Martenot, L. Z. Krooger, F. Tauch, W. J. M. Heinze, A. S. Erickson, J. Kirsch, Jr., and Elmer E. Brus all of Anaheim. A few friends attended the funeral services of Chas. E. Fuller's mother at Rosedale Cemetery in Los Angeles on last Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Grover Murdick had the misfortune to break a toe one evening last week, so is going around with a decided limp. Though not dangerous, such a fracture is decidedly painful. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Scotl, Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Smith, Miss Alice Keyy and Miss Bernice Bacon attended a funeral service in Los Angeles Wednesday. FOSTERS ABANDONE LONG BEACH WELL (With Oil Operators) The Fred B. Foster Co., had the courage of their convictions to abandon at Long Beach when the outlook did not look encouraging. The Fosters abandoned the Barry well now known as No. 38. The well at 5010 feet did not show any oil and the Foster organization did not feel like going ahead and spending any more money on a well that did not look like it would make a producer. The Fosters have been censured some for the move, but some day the kickers may change to boosters. The Barham Oil Co., has produced its second well at Long Beach. The company brought in a 2200 barrel well at 3865 feet. The Barham Oil Co., is one of those little concerns that got a foothold in the field famed for the small operators and was only a few months getting production and getting the company on the dividend basis. The Cooper Petroleum Company seem to be having considerable difficulty in getting their No. 1 into production. The well was drilled first to 4008 feet, and on account of water trouble was plugged back to 3900 A production test at 3900 feet resulted in a mud and water flow, with some oil. The Briggs well the Cooper Petroleum Company's second well is showing nicely and will probably make the company its first real production. Briggs No. 1 under 3000 feet is showing considerable oil and gas. Without a doubt the General Petroleum's next big producer at Long Beach will be the Bixby well, Bixby I was drilled to 4431 and plugged back to 4324 to take care of some bottom water. The well has made a flow and has the earmarks of a good producer. The Hub Oil Company is making a splendid showing at Long Beach. The company in addition to having two nice producers has five well drillings and has just added another property called the Beck to its holdings. The Hub Oil company went into the northwest section of the field when that part of the district was looked upon as semi wildcat, developed a lot of good property and made a good record. Local press reports claim showings of oil for the Lynes Syndicate formerly called the Northwest Extension. Up to and including 4100 feet the Lynes has had no special or important showings and it is the consensus of opinion now that if production is obtained on the extreme south west section of the field it will be at great depth. The Lynes Syndicate is being drilled by the Braddock Drilling Co. Braddock made his reputation in AN IDEAL PRINCESS IS GLORIA SWANSON A motion picture actress must often reverse, in practice, the theory of reincarnation, says Gloria Swanson, famous Paramount star. And to prove that it can be done, she dons a bejewelled costume and headdress, steps into a setting representative of the architectures of the ancient race of the Incas in South America and becomes to all appearances an Inca princess of hundreds of years ago. The sequence is a cut-back vision in her latest Paramount picture, "My American Wife," which will be shown at the California theater starting tomorrow and in which she plays the role of an American girl in a romance with a young Argentine sportsman and aristocrat. In a love scene between the girl and the man, played by Antonio Maceno, the hero points out an old portrait hanging on the walls of his extancia or country mansion and tells her the story of the subject of the portrait, one of his forebears; how he came over with the early Spanish conquistadores and after his conquests won for himself a beautiful Inca princess as a bride. In the scenes depicting this story, Miss Swanson plays the role of an Inca princess, while Moreno portrays A few friends attended the funeral services of Chas. E. Fuller’s mother at Rosedale Cemetery in Los Angeles on last Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Grover Murdick had the misfortune to break a toe one evening last week, so is going around with a decided limp. Though not dangerous, such a fracture is decidedly painful. Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Smith, Miss Alice Keyy and Miss Bernice Bacon attended a banquet in Los Angeles Wednesday of the Orange County Associated Banks and were shown through the Federal Reserve Bank after listening to many very instructive addresses about the bank system. Harry Fellinge and Jake and Lewis Edwardson spent Monday at Balboa. Mr. and Mrs. Ole Christensen of N. Melrose ave., are the proud parents of a son. Dave Lemke and family are moving to their ranch at Buena Park as soon as their home here can be sold. Mr. and Mrs. Joachim Queyrel and baby daughter were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Edwardson on Saturday evening. EBELL SELLING DRY HAND MOPS Now that housecleaning time is here the Ebell club of Anaheim is again reminding the housewives that a dandy mop may be secured through the club which does the work and does not soil the hands. The Dry Hand Mop, which the ladies handled last spring and which was successfully demonstrated in a number of business house lobbies by the ladies themselves, is the best on the market, a stile club members will prove thru demonstrated in a number of business house lobbies by the ladies themselves, is the best on the market, as the club members will prove through demonstration and by word from purchasers. The price has been reduced this year, the club to receive 50 cents on each sale. The proceeds, of course, belong to the clubhouse fund, which is slowly but surely growing. The club has exclusive sale of the mops, which are thoroughly sanitary, and one of the valuable and useful article may be secured by telephoning any member. It Pays to Advertise in the Orange County Plain Dealer. Local press reports claim showings of oil for the Lynes Syndicate formerly called the Northwest Extension. Up to and including 4100 feet the Lynes has had no special or important showings and it is the consensus of opinion now that if production is obtained on the extreme south west section of the field it will be at great depth. The Lynes Syndicate is being drilled by the Braddock Drilling Co. Braddock made his reputation in Richfield and if the oil is there he will get it. E. J. Miley’s test well west of American avenue on the Mills’ organization property is now nearing the 2800 mark and there have been sufficient evidences of oil to justify the prediction of production. E. J. Miley has a record behind him that is enviable, and the Mills Organization are very fortunate in securing his interest and co-operation in the development for the Flood Controle property. The Shell Company’s Alamitos 4A the second well to get into the deep sand on the discovery property at Long Beach is now the field’s greatest producer. The well was completed at a depth of 4437 and is making 4300 barrels, almost a barrel for every foot drilled. The big well is producing 28 gravity oil. The Standard Oil company has abandoned the idea of trying to make a producer out of its Bolas No. 9. The well is to be abandoned at 4030 feet and converted into a water well. Drilling on Lomita 2 continues at 4800 feet, the showings to date have not been encouraging. The White-Behr Petroleum Syndicate has entered the Long Beach field. The company came into the oil lime light about six months ago when it brought in the first big deep producer of the central section of the field at Huntington. The White-Behr took over the Neete well one of the Moore-Tobias holdings and will resume the drilling. PENNSYLVANIA PICNIC The mammoth annual picnic reunion for all So. Calif. Pennsylvania will be held in Sycamore Grove Park Los Angeles, Saturday. All the usual picnic features are planned and all picnickers will bring basket dinners. County registers, hot coffee and program will be provided. Tourists from the home state will be made welcome.

Collector Rex B. Goodcell is urging taxpayers to file their returns at the earliest possible date, in order that the department may be able to give the best service. It has been necessary to turn back to the taxpayers a large number of returns which have been filed without signature, or because they have not been sworn to before a deputy collector or notary public and the questions answered at the bottom of page 2 of the return. Taxpayers are warned that returns filed with such omissions and necessitating the correction of these items may render the return incomplete and the taxpayer liable for the penalty for delinquency. To avoid penalties, returns must be in the office of the collector not later than midnight of March 15, and it is hoped that this district will make a record in the small number of delinquent taxpayers, and will go over the top in the amount of taxes collected.
