The custom of making Christmas cookies is an old
European which within the last few has been
growing in popularity in this country. Delicious home
made cookies to pass around when friends drop in
tea for the evening during the Christmas vacation
are well worth the trouble.
Then there the dainty boxes of them to be
packed and tied with Christmas Wrappings to be sent

ITS ELF

DR. FELIX ADLER, the great psychologist, once
- said that every time he rose to address an
audience on child labor he amazed that it should
be necessary to argue such subject in the twen
tieth century.
1t seems equally strange that anyone should need
to "se electricity to the busy housekeeper Of today
force which illumnates, beauties and safeguards
the home; works at cleaning, sewing and cooking
with equal facility and all at a minimum cost.
It does to the thousands of women who have once
admitted it to their homes. Let show you the way
to eliminate drudgery from home making.

of Gateway Acres by Stephen Barn

Brainard B. Smith, registrar of the

office and the various chambers of
commerce in the southwest have re-

parts of the United States, since the
passage of the Swing Johnson bill,
asking how many acres will be ir-
rigated; where the land is located;
when will they be opened; what
amount will be allowed ex-service
men and so many other questions
that the land office has prepared a
form letter for reply which reads, in
part:
"Those in charge of preparing the
plans for the project have not work
ed out the details at the present
time, and it will be many months
before conclusion will have been
reached as to what lands will come
under the canals. Practically all
public lands in California that are
likely to come under the project for
irrigation have been withdrawn

WILLYS FACTORY
EXHIBITION TO
BE- SHOWN HERE

Carrying banners "Made in Cali
fornia," - 1929 Superior Whippet
and Willys-Knight Six cars forming
the Willys-Overland Caravan will
arrive in FL Centre on Friday, ac-
cording to Lee Brothers, local dis
tributors. They are the newest
models of these automobiles and
were built in the new WillysOver-
land Pacific coast factory in Los An
geles. >-.t, ~l' ~.s
In the caravan are four Whippet
Fours, four Whippet Skies and three
Willy-Knight Six automobiles and
the one Whippet Four light delivery
panel commercial car.
The caravan will stop here and
citizens will have opportunity to
examine these new ears and obtain
information concerning their me-
chanical features. They are marked
by numerous innovations this year
and have unusual beauty and luxury.
One feature of both ears that is
exclusive is the Ginger Tip Con-
troll" which is n great safety fac
tor. In the center of the steering
wheel is q button which, when pull
cd up starts the engine; when press
ed down it sounds the horn and
when turned to the right it gives
control of the lights three ways. One
can perform all these operations
without taking the hands off the
steering wheel. In case of starting
there is no groping in the dark with
one foot hunting the starter button
which is the ease in majority of
automobiles.
The whippets for 1929-both four
and six cylinder models are larger
than in the past. The wheelbase
has been heightened and bodies
made larger accordingly. They have
unusual roominess and provide great
comfort. Both engines have inereas-
ed power due to numerous refine
ments. They run more smoothly
and more quietly.
The Willys-K Knight Six is brand
new automobile throughout-engine
chassis and body. 1t is marked by
extreme beauty and luxury and is
fitted with wire wheels, the spare
being carried on the right fender.
