manages the affairs of the home.
Costs $4,000 Each Year
The upkeep of the home amounts
to approximately $4,000 each wear.
There are two resident attendants,
matron and a cook. Mrs. J. Nj.
Ray is superintendent but does not
live at the institution. There are
at present II children living at the
home, number of whom are half
orphans, whose surviving parents
pays small sum for their board.
The others are wards of the county
for various reasons. The youngsters
assist in the work about the house
and yard after school hours.
In commenting ON the idea dis
cuSsed at the last local Chamber of
Commerce meeting, which advocat
ed the establishing of the home in
our own county instead of maintain
ing it in San Diego, Mr.. Swanson
declared that he was not in favor
Of such move or of the idea ad-
vocated by the state authorities
that the children be boarded out in
the county, so that the home might
be discontinued.
Among the reasons given by Mr..
Swanson for keeping the institu-
tiOn in San Diego was the benefit
accruing to our Youngsters by their
participation in the many enter
tainments and functions given for
the children IN the various San Di-
ego institutions. Our little folks
are always included by the chari-
table inclined persons and organi-
cations of that city without any cost
to our own county. Auto rides,
beach picnics, parties of various
sorts are all enjoyed by Imperial
county wards.
Other reasons were the splendid
school which the children attend
nearby, the low cost of attendants
and the availability of persons suit
able for the positions. The diff,
Guilty of obtaining cooks and other
institutional attendants in the val
ley is shown by the trouble exper-
fenced by Superintendent Weir at
the county farm, declared Mr..
Swanson.
Boarding Not Feasible
The proposal that the children be
all boarded out to families in I'M
perial Valley is mott feasible ac-
cording TO Mr.. Swanson, as his ex-
perienee here shows that the wards
must be shifted around too often
to accommodate their guardians.
The habit of lengthy summer va
cations away from the valley would
mean that when folks go away the
children would. in almost all cases,
be turned back TO the county for
replacement. A recent example of
such shifting is that of girl in
her teens who has been placed in
three different homes in the valley
since spring. Mr.. Swanson feels
that the Youngsters should have the
opportunity of continuous atten-
dance in one school rather than
broken sessions in several schools.
Aside from the benefit to few
San Diego businesses which receive
the money spent by the county in
maintaining the hemc there. San Di-
ego does not profit by the pres
ence of the Imperial County institu-
ton. And even that benefit is
more than returned to the county
by the entertainment furnished our
wards throughout the year if one
'an measure the happiness of littl"
folks in dollars aad cents, accord
inc TO Mr.. Swanson.

! THINKERS FOR COOLIDGE

The voters of the country who
have been looking up the records of
the different candidates have. no
doubt. made up their minds for
whom they r going to vote.
They have found that Calvin
Coolidge has al honest clean rec
ord-that he has been the cause of
great tax reductions and advocates
further reductions-that he has
stopped the waste of the peoples
money-that he has brought marked
economy into effect in the affairs
of the government-that he has
earnestly worked for the interest of
the whole nation. Even the warm
est supporters of LaFollette cannot
deny these facts o can they point
to any helpful laws that bear La
Follette's name during the many
years that he has been in Congress;
his course has been that of a fault
finder; whatever anyone else did
was wrong-he appeared to
seek to help build up-he is like

CHILD LABOR IMPORTANT

The national crusade for legislation to prohibit all employment of
child labor below 16 years and in some states Is years., is a beautiful
dream of all upifters.

before finishing the eighth grade. How will such legislation
affect them? .H. r..

people. but was chosen by a group
of Socialists. labor leaders, radicals
and other self-constituted del
egates" to a conference dominated
by LaFollette.
%. LaFollette's platform calls for
the Socialist plan of Matchmaking
of the railroads and other private
property. He has been clearly de-
fined as a Socialist and is the for
NAL candidate for the Socialist
party. The Socialist party in Amer
lea has officially endorsed his can
didacy. Prominent Socialists are
directing his campaign. Socialists
and other radicals throughout the
country constitute his most active
followers.

WHAT'S A CONSTITUTION FoRq

The peak of radiaism-or n of the highest peaks is to be
found in the following plank oft the Progressive Platform:
we favor submitting to the people a constitutional amendment
providing that congress may, by enactng a statute. make it effective
over a judicial vote"
In other words, congress may, by mere statutory enactment. make
IN unconstitutional measure constitutional. This is a deliberate sub
of the constitution to the whim o. congress- nothing else.
1t is a definite scheme to encourage congress to act in defiance of
the constitution; and, if there is a impartial judicial decision that the
constitution has been violated. to set aside the authority of the courts
and of the constitution itself by mere repetition Of the congressional fiat
Is the constitution worth having, II preserving, or obeying? The
ocaIed Progressive platform thinks not. The American people have
heretofore thought otherwise Because they have thought therwis for
a century nd a half, we have a constitution n constitutional freedom.

THE W OF
.0 ADVERTISING

For years motorists have
been led to believe that an
eastern lubricating oil for au-
tomobile3 engines was better
than lubricating oil produced
in the west.
Thousands of barrels of
Pennsylvania lubricating oils
are sold in the west, not be-
the public knows any
thing about the technical diff
ference that may exist between
a western and an eastern oil,
but because automobile drivers
have been told and have read
for years that the eastern oil
furnishes better fabrication.
An eastern oil costs more
due to the fact that it has to
be hauled across the continent
to its western consumers, buy
r think they r getting a
better product.
Western oil companies are
among the largest in the world.
Their crude oil is the same as
other crude oil and their re-
filming equipment is second to
none. Hence, they should pro-
duce lubricating oils of the
highest quality, but quality
alone in a more or less new
product will not quickly offset
years of advertising of an old
product with which consumers
have been familiar.
Westerners, however, should
be interested i'm developing in
dustries in this territory and
should thoroughly investigate
western products, not only oil
but other commodities which
can be produced here rather
than shipping them for 5000
miles.

KEEP THE HIGHWAYS CLEAR

But it is also apparent that the highways should OF be cIuttered

Feeding and Manure Making
are lnseparable
IN r AS WELL AS CONSERVE
MANURE FOR USE IN IMPROVING YIELDS

The business of fattening lambs and steers on
beet growing farms this year will be carried on, from
present indications, to the capacity of the hay, tops
and other beet by-product feeds.
OF course, most farmers who feed stock for the
market are in the business for profit. But many regard
the manure produced as not the least valuable feature
of the enterprise.
Dairy cows and work stock should also be handled
to provide the maximum amount of fertilizer.
In beet raising districts most of the manure is ap-
piled to beet land because experience has shown that
sugar beets utilize the fertilizer more proftably than
any other crop, with the possible exception of potatoes
in favorable seasons.
USE AMPLE EDDING FOR STOCK
The maximum output of manure can be obtained
only from well drained feed lots with an ample supply
OF bedding. Stock will make better gains where straw
is used literally to make them reasonably comfortable.
A reported Is per cent shortage of alfalfa hay
compared with last season suggests the advisablity of
making the most economical use of beet tops, an excel
lent supplemental feed when rightly handled.
Putting more stock in the feedlot than on ehas feed
for, or trying to feed more per day than the animals
can clean up, is a common mistake. Only by continuous
observation of the stock can one find out how thew are
progressing and how economically the feed is being
used.
