You will note by these dates that Sunday is to be a "closed day." This unusual departure from the customary practice of fair management is due to a fine spirit of deference shown by the directors of the So. Calif. Fair.

RECEIPTS OF FAIR AMOUNT TO $27,224 Receipts of the Orange County fair amount to $27,224,95, according to Manager R. D. Flaherty, $4000 more than last year. Profits will be less, however, because of investment in permanent equipment. The figure mentioned includes gate receipts, income from sale of industrial and amusement space, automotive space and advertising. The final report of the fair board will be delivered on Nov. 1. Pending payment of bills the financial report on the fair is incomplete. The Secret of Good Baked Beans KITCHEN BOUQUET does for baked beans what it does for gravies—greatly adds to their flavor and improves their color. In Boston, where the preparation of all kinds of beans has reached a perfection that is the despair of all other sections, KITCHEN BOUQUET is most liberally used. Preparing for the oven, add a tablespoonful to me this space, I wish to make an unusual appeal to the church people of your constituency. The So. Calif. Fair will open its gates for the annual exhibit in Riverside, October 9 and will continue until Saturday evening October 13. You will note by these dates that Sunday is to be a "closed day." This unusual departure from the customary practice of fair management is due to a fine spirit of deference shown by the directors of the So. Calif. Fair. They feared that a Sunday closing would cut off a very large sum from the gate receipts, yet they also felt that the time for a new departure in this direction had come. Churchmen of Riverside have met this remarkable concession with an equal display of good will. A large Bible school parade has been arranged for Tuesday, October 9 in which beautiful floats will be displayed, showing the meaning and power of religious education in the modern community. The churches of Riverside have also taken an unusual step, not officially as churches, but thrue private arrangement. Feeling that much depends upon the unqualified success of a "Sunday-lees" fair, they—the churches—have private committees at work selling hundreds of tickets upon the streets, and to Christian people. For once at least, we are to have a fair that is clean in its program parts, and also omits the offense of a wide open Sunday. This Fair must succeed. If it does, it will profoundly influence similar exhibits of the entire Pacific Coast, and consequently of the entire United States. I therefore make so bold as to ask for the enthusiastic support of the citizens of Anaheim. Tickets have been put on sale in your local Chamber of Commerce. Help us register a new moral advance in this rapidly growing Pacific Coast by making this "new departure fair," an unqualified success. Yours cordially, Richard E. Day, Pastor First Baptist Church, Riverside. L. A.

ROUND TRIP TO GERMANY COMES LOW NEW CONCORD, O., Oct. 1.—A round trip to Germany, costing him only $25, has just been completed by Horace W. Bikle, 20, Pittsburgh, a senior at Muskingum college here. Bikle made the journey without a passport, a Pittsburgh birth certificate serving as a substitute. Bikle left home with $25 and shipped on the George Washington, working his way to Bremerhaven. There he exchanged his money for German marks and as a result had a large "roll." He said it cost him 25c in American money to ride from Hamburg to Berlin, where he bought a fine straw hat for 30c. No meal cost him more than 25c, he said. While in Germany he visited the Rhine valley and its more important cities. There was little evidence of suffering or privation of any sort, he stated. OLD HAVE WHOOPING COUGH, TOO, DR. FINDS MARTINS PERRY, O., Oct. 3.—Persons who believe that whooping cough is only a childhood disease are wrong, according to a local physician. He reported that one of his patients—a woman, aged sixty-eight years—is ill with whooping cough, having contracted it during a recent epidemic among children. This is said to be the third time the aged woman has been afflicted with whooping cough. GREAT PIPE ORGAN HEARD FRIDAY EVE. Tomorrow night will be the big gala night at the United Theater. They will then open to the public their mighty silver-voiced pipe organ with that famous organmaster Mr. Oscar H. Yost, at the console. It has taken many hard weeks of labor to put this giant instrument in place but the results will more than repay them for the time and labor spent in the installing of it. A wonderful musical program is promised for that night and for every performance thereafter. Mr. Yost is one of the best organists that could be obtained and will be sure to delight with his rendition of both the classical and popular music. On the program tomorrow night will be "Paddy-the-next-best-thing" in which Mae Marsh makes her return to the photoplay after an absence of two years. It is a comedy drama with the fascinating Mae Marsh as an incomparable Irish "flapper" whose heart always guides her straight as her quick wit turns real troubles into great happiness; griefs into joys. It is a pulse-stirring romance of Irish hearts so tender and wit so quick with gripping love scenes and deliciously quaint comedy tonches and with action that starts the blood pounding and a cli-max so dramatic that it leaves you gasping. There will also be allown one of the new Larry Semon comedies "The Midnight Cabaret." Its' a humdinger, just packed with fun and laughter. It is indeed a wonderful bill, good music, good pictures and a rollie-king funny comedy. Don't miss it. Another dismat failure is a town's effort to conceal its pride while scolding about traffic jams. Bikle left home with $25 and shipped on the George Washington, working his way to Bremerhaven. There he exchanged his money for German marks and as a result had a large "roll." He said it cost him 25c in American money to ride from Hamburg to Berlin, where he bought a fine straw hat for 30c. No meal cost him more than 25c, he said. While in Germany he visited the Rhine valley and its more important cities. There was little evidence of suffering or privation of any sort, he stated. Before leaving home Bikle obtained a certificate of his birth. The certificate bore the official seal of the city of Pittsburgh. In one corner of the certificate Bikle placed a kodak picture of himself. Wherever he presented the certificate it was accepted as readily as though he had gone to the trouble and expense of obtaining a regular passport, he said. Completing his tour, Bikle returned to port and shipped home on the same vessel on which he went overseas. RECEPTION TO TEACHERS Katella Parent-Teacher Ass'n will hold the annual reception to the teachers of the school Friday, Oct. 5. An address will be given by J. Roy Williams and a solo by Mrs. Madlene. A reading by Eva Welburn, the P.T.A. song by Katherine Carner and the object of the P.T.A., by Mrs. Ida J. Huchos, will bring the program to the refreshment hour: Everyone is cordially welcome.

STOKES WEEPS BEFORE GRAND JURY CHICAGO, Oct. 4. Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes went before the grand jury today with tears darting down her cheeks and her voice broken with emotion to tell of the alleged efforts of her millionaire husband, W. E. D. Stokes of New York, to divorce her by making it appear she had been a prostitute. Before going before the jurors, she said: "I want nothing for myself. I don't care for my own part. Fighting back is the only means I have of providing for my children. Shortly after Mrs. Stokes had given her story to the grand jury, Assistant U. S. Attorney Harry F. Ramlin announced that federal investigation of correspondence pertinent to the case would start at once to determine whether there have been violations of the federal laws against using the mails with intent to defraud or defame. After reports came from jury ante rooms that two indictments had been voted, it was reported that Mrs. Stokes had been asked what she knew of the Everleigh Club, a notorious immoral resort of Chicago's past. Her charges that Stokes was trying to show with perjured affidavits that she was one of its women brot on the grand jury investigation. "I never knew of the place" Mrs. Stokes is reported to have replied. SENDS BODY TO FORMER HOME Antonio Varni, an Italian laborer living near Santa Fe Springs, died late yesterday.
