TOWN IN REVIEW BY OLD TIMER BEING responsible for the success of an undertaking of such scope as the Valencia Orange show is hard work. A fellow would not be blamed for feeling tired out when the job was completed, especially if he had lost 26 pounds in the 10 days and nights of work as did Chairman Hermian Stern. Nevertheless, a reporter shouldn't take seriously Hermian's annual threat to resign and go and print a story about it as one scribe did the other day. To my mind, Hermian is the one man for the job. He is financially able to give it the time and has the ability, including a very great appreciation of the artistic and the knack to attain it. This last has been demonstrated in the three Valencia Orange shows which have been pronounced the most artistic expositions ever held under canvas in California. The palatial Elkr club is another example of Mr. Stern's artistic efforts. Such results do not merely happen. They are the result of hard, diligent work and the ability to get commercial artists and decorators to carry out certain ideas. Another thing!

The palatial Elkr club is another example of Mr. Stern's artistic efforts. Such results do not merely happen. They are the result of hard, diligent work and the ability to get commercial artists and decorators to carry out certain ideas. Another thing: It has been a matter of comment that the Anaheim show has each year enjoyed better executive management than was ever displayed at the older San Bernardino expedition, where too often those at the head apparently have been there only for what they could get out of it. Secretary Malcom Fraser of the Anaheim C. of C. tells me it was not until after the last more prosperous Anaheim show, that Herman could be prevailed upon to accept some small recompense for the use of his auto which he has always used liberally in frequent trips to Los Angeles and to other cities. No, Herman had better forget it. Take a vacation, get those 26 pounds back—if he really thinks he needs them—and be on deck for next year's show. Such a decision will please a lot of folks who only dimly realize the scope of the task. NEWCOMERS are always impressed with Anaheim's air of activity and prosperity. If they remain a little while while they soon learn the reason. It has been aptly termed the "Anaheim spirit." Other towns are larger and may approach Anaheim in prosperity, but their citizens can't get together on public underings. One of the best illustrations of this is the annual Valenica Orange show, an enterprise so pretentious for a city of 10,000 that other towns can not but wonder. A current illustration is the race of the local Rotary club against the rest of the world for consecutive 100 percent meetings. (I have often wondered what the rest of the clut will do to the hapless member who forgets to attend some Monday noon) How other cities are handicapped by lack of this "spirit" is repeatedly shown in a nearby town where it has been found difficult to stage even a county fair. The board of directors for such an event recently resigned in a huff. An elderly lady who visits Anaheim at least three times each week will vouch for this. A certain young lady known to her, is much given to laughter, was serving some guests with tea. And consulting their taste she said, "Which do you prefer, black tea or green tea? Tee-he-he!" The last time I took my wife to Long Beach I hit one of those chuck holes at the foot of Bixby hill so hard that my wife bounced up and hit the first floor. Expansion of First National Bank Requires Larger Quarters. Erection in the near future of an office building at Claudina and Center streets, in which the American Savings Bank will be housed was announced today by an officer. The building will be at least six stories high, and may be eight. The space in the First National Bank building vacated by the American Savings Bank, will be used by the First National Bank, which, in spite of increased space, still requires larger quarters to accommodate its growing business. A commercial department will be added to the American Savings, the name of which will be changed to the American Commercial and Savings Bank. The American Savings has signed a lease for the first floor and basement of the building. This will be another Sam Kraemer building of the same general type as the other new buildings, and excavation for it only awaits the completion of the latest Kraemer structure now going up. If, as is probable, the building is of eight stories, it will be the tallest building anywhere in the county. Eighth stories is 110 feet, while 12 stories, the height limit fixed in Los Angeles, is only 150 feet. At present the Boston Bakery occupies the site. Some novel features will be included in the design of the bank's quarters, which will be the last word in up-to-dateness. Two elevators will accommodate the public, and the plan is to construct of glass the partitions of offices facing the elevators. Already leases of many of the offices in the building have been practically clinched. GIRL SAYS REALTY MAN ATTACKED HER (Los Angeles, June 28)—In a voice barely audible, 18-year-old Ruth Norman, star witness against Jack O'Brien, Emmet Rice and Ray Scott, accused of a $100,000 black-mail conspiracy against C. C. Julian, wealthy oil promoter, in Judge Wood's court today charged Edmund Perry, a prominent real estate man, with having attacked her in a downtown hotel. Circumstances in the attack by the real estate man, she testified, were to be utilized in a "framed story" he was to tell to involve Julian. DOCTOR KILLED POLICE OF (By International News) Los Angeles, June 28)—a police officer while fleeing Dr. H. C. Lake, resident of town hotel, died on his wives receiving hospital. Dr. Lake has been sued U. S. Marshal Al Sittel as author of a large number of prescriptions, with which the cellphone caused Lake to be unable to day when he called scription counter and the telephone了。 AN elderly lady who visits Anaheim at least three times each week will vouch for this. A certain young lady known to her, who is much given to laughter, was serving some guests with tea. And consulting their taste she said, "Which do you prefer, black tea or green tea? Tee-he-he-he!" The last time I took my wife to Long Beach I hit one of those chuck holes at the foot of Bixby hill so hard that my wife bounced up and hit the roof of the car. After paying he respects to the driver and the Los Angeles-co supervisors, she made the vow that she'd never go to Long Beach again until that road was fixed. Over at Long Beach they feel that the city of Los Angeles and the board of supervisors have forgotten that the seaside city is in Los Angeles-co. and it is a continual cause of complaint that while Signal Hill oil fields pay an enormous amount of tax money into the county treasury, apparently little of it is spent on the roads about there. There is a marked contrast between the roads of Los Angeles-co and Orange-co. The home-comer and the experienced tourist always breathe a sigh of relief when they sight the big "Welcome—Orange-co" signs at the entrance to the county. BUILDING PERMITS Weo.

FOREST BURNING IN UPPER SANTA ANA (By International News Service) LOS ANGELES, June 28—More than 100 city employees working at Camp Radford, Bear Valley, and several motorists were commandeered early today to combat a furious forest fire which raged for hours in the upper control of the Santa Ana river, destroying 500 acres of commercial land.

"Under no circumstances," said the president, talking directly to a group of overall-railway men here today, "have you the right to stop transportation on account of personal grievances. When you enter a public service, you do so under a trust and no circumstances can justify abandonment of that trust—at least not until there is a full hearing of your case." $244,800 DEAL ANNOUNCED BY SIGGEL Long Time Lease Made Today on Krick Corner at L.

WESTERN CREW WINS GREAT BOAT RACE POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y., June 28. Washington's crew this afternoon won the eighth oared event in the intercollegiate regatta by outgaming the Navy in the last half mile in a gruelling three mile race. The Washington crew, which had to fight Columbia for the lead all the way, was challenged by the Navy right as they reached the two and a half mile mark.

PRICE 2 CENTS AGUE TRIBUNAL Story Bank Building USED IN DAUGHERTY FLIGHT AGAIN URGES WORLD COURT PROPOSAL President Invades Borah's Home State with Stirring Appeal Today. By GEORGE R. HOLMES (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) POCATELLO, Idaho, June 28 PROPOSAL President Invades Borah's Home State with Stirring Appeal Today. By GEORGE R. HOLMES (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) POCATELLO, Idaho, June 28 President Harding came into the home state of Senator William E. Borah today with a stirring appeal for his world court proposal. Addressing an audience of several thousand people from the rear of his train here, the president, for the first time came out strongly against the arbitration of international disputes, and for the settlement of such disputes by an international court such as he had proposed. It was the first time Mr. Harding had ever opening criticized The Hague tribunal. Senator Borah stood on the platform with the president as he spoke. "I would rather a thousand times," Mr. Harding said, feeling, "trust the interests of this America of ours to a court made up of judges or impeachable character and ability, on which we are represented, than I would to any arbitration." "I cherish an American aloofness from the intrigues and conspiracies of the old world as much as any one in this country," the presideht went on. "But we have witnessed a war which should never have occurred, in which millions of lives were sacrificed and billions of treasure spent, and sorrow and havoc wrought from which the world will not recover for two centuries. Think of it, my countrymen! "I do not know whether the time will come when men will be so driven by conscience that they will do entirely away with armed conflict. But I do believe that this great American people should give of their influence to directing the world to a plane where war cannot occur. "I do not say that a world court can stop all war. I wish it could. But I do say to you here and now that I believe it is a great step toward the preservation of that world peace which we to earnestly desire." As president I have got a new appraisal of war and war's tremendous and tragic cost that I never had before. Every day there come to me appeals; appeals that are the outgrowth of the tremendous cataclysm and suffering wright by the war. Stop and think that $5 cents out of every dollar you pay in taxes goes to the payment of war costs, and only 15 cents to the peaceful development of our great country. Think of that. templated seizure of foreign ships carrying liquor into American ports, acting Secretary of the Treasury S. P. Gilbert today called upon Prohibition Commissioner Roy A. Hayes to explain why these false reports had been circulated and announced flatly that no change was planned in the present policy of the treasury department in enforcing the dry ship regulations. Secretary Gilbert said: "While seizures of foreign ships would be authorized under the law, and it has been suggested by prohibition officials, the treasury is not giving serious consideration to such a step at this time and does not believe such drastic action will be necessary to control the situation." Secretary of State Hughes was besieged with inquiries from diplomats of countries whose ships would be affected by such action. His responses to such question were that the government has made no decision beyond the pending order to seize liquors which are brot in above a quantity required for medicinal use.
