SECOND SECTION 26TH YEAR NO. 290. MRS. HARDING BEARS TOWN IN REVIEW BY OLD TIMER ANAHEIM, in common with other communities throughout the world, was stunned last night with the announcement of the President's sudden death. The first news came by wire to The Plain Dealer shortly after 7:30. Anaheimers who had radio receivers heard a bulletin read shortly after 8 p.m. and at intervals thereafter thruout the evening. Plain Dealer bulletins were read at the United Theater and at the band concert in the city park. After reading the bulletin, the band played the Star Spangled Banner and terminated the concert. Anaheimers had an especially affectionate feeling for the president by reason of the nearby residence of his sister, Mrs. Charity Remsberg, and because of his courtesy in opening the First California Valencia Orange show by long distance telephone, when 10 people at as many receivers here listened to the cordial words of the executive. It was a keen gizappointment to all of us when news of his illness. TAKES CHARGE OF FUNERAL DETAILS SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.—Her life dispaired of but a year ago, Mrs. Warren G. Harding today bore up bravely under the blow which took from her a beloved husband of 32 years and from the nation, its chief executive—with tragic sadness. After a night of sorrow she today was retaining that composure which she promised those at the bedside would be hers when she realized her husband of over three decades had gone. An official statement from Dr. C. E. Sawyer early today set at rest rumors of collapse on the part of Mrs. Harding and told of her brave rally. "I regret that the statement has the bulletin, the band played the Star Spangled Banner and terminated the concert. Anaheimers had an especially affectionate feeling for the president by reason of the nearby residence of his sister, Mrs. Charity Remsberg, and because of his courtesy in opening the First California Valencia Orange show by long distance telephone, when 10 people at as many receivers here listened to the cordial words of the executive. It was a keen gizappointment to all of us when news of his illness came, precluding the long anticipated visit to Orange-co. Our hearts go out to Mrs. Harding in her great hour of trial. We especially regret that death came to the president upon his tour of the west. Following so closely up on the crash to the health of Woodrow Wilson, while in the west, it is certain that future plans for such tours must entail less drain upon the strength of the executive. No one can imagine the great stress and burden under which the president labors. A man acquainted with public life at Washington asserts that the president of today has three times the demands upon his time and energy as the office entailed no longer ago than during the McKinney administration. Foreign affairs, formerly negligible, now bulk large because of the closer relations of all nations through modern intercommunication and transportation and because of the annoying interference of petty politicians at home. Economics, farm blocs, labor, transportation, post-war conditions and all the other problems that confront the president, prove vexations from which he can never free his mind for a moment from the time he enters the office. No public official in the world has such responsibilities. Perhaps the office has been permitted to become too burdensome for one man to stand up under. Tom Marshall, former vice-president, recently declared he wouldn't have the job of president as a gift, consenting to accept it only if it were placed on three shifts and he was given the early morning tower. There is a general feeling of elation that the mantle of the chief executive falls upon shoulders so capable as those of Calvin Coolidge, the man who came into national prominence by breaking the Boston policemen's strike. The public feels that he has immonsense and nerve. May he succeed! ONE wonders what tragedy would be of sufficient scope to justify the loss of a little precious sleep to a man in West Anaheim last night who was aroused from his beauty sleep by a newt with an extra edition an After a night of sorrow she today was retaining that composure which she promised those at the bedside would be hers when she realized her husband of over three decades had gone. An official statement from Dr. C. E. Sawyer early today set at rest rumors of collapse on the part of Mrs. Harding and told of her brave rally. "I regret that the statement has been printed in early editions of the papers that Mrs. Harding collapsed after the death of the president" said Dr. Sawyer's statement. "Mrs. Harding is a very brave woman. From the beginning she has known of the serious and threatening phases of her husband's illness and she prepared herself for any emergency. She has been with him constantly ministering to his wants and watching over him. "Death came suddenly, without warning as she was readin' go him at the end of a day of apparently improvement. She was shocked of course and at first unable to realize that she had lost the husband who had made up all the interest in her life for so many proud and happy years. But there was no collapse, no hysteria. Just a brave rally to face her sorrows and duties devolving upon her at this hour. I give this statement in order that her many friends may not be unduly alarmed as to her condition." "I can't realize it—I can't realize it—still, I've got something to do," she cried as Dr. Sawyer wordlessly imparted the information that the nation's beloved president had departed. "I am not going to collapse," Mrs. Harding said with determination, setting her lips in a determined line, the tears streaming down her cheeks. Wives of cabinet officers who had been hurriedly summoned led her from the room. found after plowing on the estate of Mr. C. John at the junction of Moore and Lincoln-sts, in this town, curiosity has been aroused as to whether military operations have ever taken place here about worthy of note. If so, could you give any information on the subject from search of the annals of this section? Can someone help us out with this?

ONE wonders what tragedy would be of sufficient scope to justify the loss of a little precious sleep to a man in West Anaheim last night who was aroused from his beauty sleep by a newsy with an extra edition announcing the President's death. Pa-jama-clad, his spindle-shanks shivering, he rushed out on the front porch and exclaimed: "If you don't cut out that noise I'll report to the police!" The newsies were performing a public service in conveying this important news, as was evidenced by the way the Plain Dealer extras were gobbled up. The Plain Dealer, incidentally, was the only Anaheim paper to issue a special edition and was the first extra to appear in Anaheim. This particular West Anaheim man should move over to Orange where his sleep will never be disturbed. SMALL freckled-faced son of Anaheim and a girl, just a little larger, were chatting this morning on Front Center-at, when they noticed a boy at half mast. The little boy said: "What's the flag that way for?" The girl, with an air of knowing much, said: "Oh, they always do that when anyone good dies." GOING unnamed for more than 24 hours is the blighting experience of Master Naylor, born at 3 o'clock yesterday morning in the Buena Park sanitarium to Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Naylor. The anticipated arrival was scheduled by the parents to be a daughter, and Mrs. Naylor had chosen the name LaRue in compliment to Mrs. Hugh La Rue, with whom she lived for many years. But the coming son had no notion of being a girl, so his parents are now casting about for a name equally good for a boy. C. Schofield of Buena Park writes: "AN old rust encrusted fragment of a bugle, a butt of a musket and a rusty gun barrel having been FRIEND Wife started something when she brot back those lullabys from her Methodist preacher brother at Denver.

Strolling down the street you meet a friend who wants to treat you In the morning. Every little spot that's seen is like a little fairy dream At dawning. If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day.
