the committee in charge.
The show is given for the purpos"
Of wiping out the financial deficit

MAYTAG WASHERS
CROSS COUNTRY
BY TRAINL0AD

Schluctcr's and Maytag Co. of
California, statewide distributors
of Maytag Washers, are accomplish
ing what was believed impossible
by selling three solid trainloads of
Maytag washers during the month
Of January. The immense shipment
arrived in California last week over
the Southern and Union Pacific. In
order to be certain that the wash
crs would arrive in time to meet
the January demand. the three
trains were routed over three roads
for prompt delivery in Califor-
mia.
The speed made by this record
freight shipment in crossing the
continent broke all previous freight
records. Union and Southern Paci-
fic officials spared no effort III
routing the entire shipment. Pas
scnger trains were sidetrackcd in
favor Of the largest single shipment
of merchandise ever made to Cali
1OFHli. lfOD lHeHL SPEAKERS, poIl-
ticians, teachers and industrial
magnates met the trains as they
passed through the larger cities en-
route to the coast. F. L. Maytag,
founder of the Maytag Company,
Newton, Iowa, accompanied the
trains and personally supervised the
entire shipment. Eastern dailies
and trade journals commented edi-
torially on the enterprise of west
ern progressive men and women in
buying more Maytags per capita
than any other state in the union.
Forty nine per cent Of all wash
ers sold in the world are Maytags.
The large sale of Maytags proves
again the effectiveness of newspap
crs as dominant advertising me-
diums. In fact, the entire advertis-
ing appropriation has been spent in
newspapers.
One carload of the shipment was
, left at FL Centre for the local
branch Of Schluctcr 3.

EXPERT HINTSAT
LONG WARFARE
AGAINST MICE

lAfi, cal, Jan. 2J.-S. r. Piper.
mouse determination expert Of
Washington, d. c., who has been in
rIted here to blot out the plague Of
millions Of mice in the Bucna Vista
lake basin region declared today his
report to the Kern county board of
supervisors at Bakersfield late yes
ferGav was very superficial.
~ Will not be able to make any
settlement that VIII fully eovcr the
situation before Thursday at least,
Piper declared.
In his report to the supervisors
who declared an appropriation of
$500 to battle the mice after de
Gliding that "thc whole county is
involved. - Piper said there arc
1000 mice to an acre in some sec
tons of the infested territory and
the minimum number in an acre is
approximately 400.
"Such manifestations usually take
two or three years before they die
OUT he declared.
Piper said he believed he would
continue the methods being used
in the battle against the mice but
he will concentrate more at the
source of the migration, the lake
basin itself, which has an area of
about 10000 acres. He plans tC
poison all the grain in this area and
also to use chopped alfalfa.
The cost of the warfare against
the mice will be between $500 and
$1,000, the determination specialist
said.
Piper's report to the supervisors
was far from optimistic in respect
to the expectations of local horticul'
tural commissioners that the mice
would be exterminatcd soon.
"It is possible the mice may keer
up their numbers and you may eN-
pect another invasion.' he said.
