We have more corn than We have
a market for, as grain, at fair price,
said Secretary Wallace. That Is why
corn has been so cheap. Past ex-
periences shows that in years OF ex.-
ira heavy crops those forehanded
farmers who have been able 20 hold
their corn for two or three years
usually have made good interest on
the money used in holding H. At
the present time, however. fewer
farmers can afford 20 hold. They are
anxious TO get out OF debt and want
TO turn the corn into cash.
Now, Il viii be very much better

At prices at which hogs are now sell
ing. the farmer will net from 60 70
SIS cents a bushel FOR his corn fed TO

much as he can get for his corn when
sold as grain. Second, the more corn
we feed 10 hogs and 20 cattle the more
corn we will get rid OF. The thing
to do now is 70 get rid Of the sur

The Social Side
Society," Clubs Notes and Comment
By Mrs. Violette S. Campbell

Snap Shots &
Not all of the women who were
scheduled to take part in the "Snap
Shot" period at the community meet
ing Of Monday night responded, but
some cf those who did, certainly hit
the nail on the head with each SEN
tence. snake the World safe for our
children" was the keynote of Mrs.
Burrett Aliens talk. Mrs. Garth
waite drove home the fact that in
dividual as we'll as mass is respons-
ible for law enforcement and Mrs.
Campbell said that local sentiment
in Ell Centre among the best people is
for the enforcement of the Prohibi-
ton amendment and urged that the
passive attitude of these people be
changed into active sentiment.
The meeting was fine and the good
people of the city will be glad to know
that District Attorney Simons spoke
most strongly for the supremity Of
law in the United States.
True, he thinks the battle for pro-
hibition enforcement will be long
one-twenty years he said, but he
did not remember that the women of
the nation now vote and that they are
likely to rouse from their lethargy
and demand that America be made
safe for their children, sooner perhaps
than Mr.. Simons expects.
Carrie Nation did a lot with her
little hatchet in the opinion of the
honorable district attorney. Perhaps
she did not do it in quite the right
and proper manner, but there are wo-
men now living who, armed with the
ballot could do as much as Carrie
Nation did were they once aroused.
That speech of Albert Durham's
was great. Patriotic himself to the
core he has no patience with any cae
who does not revere his native land
and who is not willing to sacrifice for
it, yea even die for it. if it is neces-
sary. He abhors the man or woman
who would count the cost of enforc-
ing the Eighteenth amendment, meas
uring in dollars and cents clear OBJ
legation to the world. Nobody he
said, had ever figured out the cost to
humanity of the licensed liquor traf-
fic before prohibition became part
of the supreme law Of the land. No
body counts the cost of law enforce
ment against the criminal. At any
cost life and liberty must be assured
to the people.

January C!ubwOman

The January Clubw;man, organ of
the Federation of Clubs of California,
is fall Of interesting matter, in fact
it is the best issue of the year as
we'll as the largest.
The Club Endowment occupies the
center of interest, it being the plan
to devote the coming month of Feb
ruary to the interest of the Endow-
ment Fund.
Mrs. d. w. Mott, ,tate chairman
of Endowment has asked for the ap-
pointment Of sub-chairmen in every
district, so that every club in the
state may have it's attention focused
on the proposition to complete the
$4,000 endowment during the Feb
ruary campaign. So far only $4,000
has been raised.
During the campaign, every club
woman in the state is to be asked Ia
give 25 cents toward the fund. The
plan of securing this per capita
amount will, of course. be decided by
individual clubs. Some of the organ
izations may ci.uose to raise it by
direct assessment of paid up mem
bcrs, others will take it out of theil
general fund and still others may
choose to give an entertainment tc
raise the money.
Mrs. Fitzgerald, state president
in her monthly message to clubs
says: "If you but knew the calls thai
come in each mail from clubs in re
mote districts asking for visits from
officers and state chairmen to give
addresses and advice on Federation
work, you would at once appreciate
how our usefulness is@ Handicapped
by lack of funds" Mrs. Fitzgerald
believes that with, the 4establishmen
of the Endowment Fund, club mem
bership will be greatly increased an
the influence of club women viii b.
enlarged. The interest CT the En-
dowment Fund will be- devoted to de
partment work.

The Unmarried Mother

4 lie u OHHudTEleQ MOLTer
Judge Ben Lindsey, one of the best
friends humanity has ever had, made
plea recently for unmarried mothers
which is worth repeating. He said:
what right has civilization to
blight the unmarried mother by os-
tracism, since civilization is not sue
ceeding in its apparent attempt to
force people into celibacy? Society
created condition then swings Gu
to swat the victim. In speaking about
the unmarried mother am up against
the possibility of being misunderstood.
There are many who maintain that if
we held the unmarried mother,
through maternity and help her solve
her problem in facing the world af-
terward that we are encouraging i'm
morality.
"My experience with hundreds of
cases is that it is the attitude Of
severity assumed by society toward
these cases instead of our attitude of
helpfulness that is causing the i'm
morality. The attitude of society is
responsible for the thousands of il
legal operations and for the spread of
birth control which may become a
menace to the nation"
