The Gam. of skittIe.

ANY number of players may join in
this game and they are divided into
equal sides. One side is the "skittles"
and the other side the "bowlers."
Now, the bowlers must get a soft
rubber ball and the skitties stand in a
line about ten yards away from them.
The "bowIers" take it in turns to try
and hit the skittles below the knee
with the ball, while the "skittles"
jump about and try to avoid being hit.
Hits above the knee do not count,
but If a bowler hits skittle below the
knee, then the skittle must drop out.
And so the game goes on until there
are no skittles left. Then the sides
change places.

Relief For Unemployment Is
Receiving Attention of
the Entire Nation.
by EDWARD W. plcKARD

ID ELIEF for the unemployment sit
IN uation continued to be one OF the
chief topics of interest in the United
States, being a close second to pol
itics and, for the great mass OF the
people, of vastly greater personal I'M
portance than the impending elections.
The federal governments part in
the efforts to solve the problem at
present consists In the work Of cab
met committee appointed by President
Hoover and the selection Of Col. Ar
thur Woods, former police commits
sioner of New York, to direct these
efforts. After his arrival in Washing
ton and a conference with Mr.. Hoo
yer, Colonel Woods said:
THE principal part Of our work Is
cooperating with local organizations.
The best that we can do is TO let va
rious places know what others are do
ing as a guide for their own efforts"
State and municipal governments
and innumerable local organizations
are developing their many plans to
meet the situation, and the generosity
Of thousands Of individual citizens is
notable and heartening. Wisely, none
Of the schemes put forward tend to
''pauperize" the unfortunate men and

end the federal government will give
Jobs to the maximum number on pub
lie works. including buildings, food
control operations and regular river
and harbor work, and wherever pos
sible, red tape will be cut to facilitate
employment of more men.
At the first meeting of the cabinet
committee, which is headed by Secre-
tary of Commerce Lamont. President
Hoover said he estimated the number
of unemployed in the country at $780,
600, basing this on census bureau fig
ures as corrected by the aid of unem-
ployment index figures of the Depart
ment OF Labor. The Democratic ma
tional committee has estimated the
number as between five and six mil
lions. According to the Presidents
presentation of the situation there are
always as many as 100000 unem-
ployed in normal times representing
persons shifting from one job to an
other and for other reasons out of
work. The 3,5OO,OO0 unemployed does
not designate that many families, ac-
cording to the explanation Of the Pres
ident, who pointed out to his commit
tee that census calculations show an

GRANGE DISCUSSES
GAS POSSIBILITIES

The Hanford Grange at its
meeting Tuesday, January %, dis
cused the possibilities of using ma
tural gas for operating pumps for
irrigation. NJ. r. Slavens, secre-
tary, having previously made in
quiries regarding the possibilities,
read letter from Edwin Hurst,
general manager Northwestern Ma
tural Gas company. Mr.. Hurst
wrote that natural gas was being
used for running engines with sue
cess in the middle states and gave
figures of cost of running engine,
which amounted to $14.00 month
for three horsepower engine,
figuring $21.00 for a five horse
power engine. These figures were
for single unit, and no doubt
could be materially lowered by buy
ing in large quantities, such as for
district.
A committee was appointed,
consisting of A. L. Brockway, NJ.
R. Slavens and T. E. Dilling to
investigate the matter further, re-
garding costs of laying mains for
district, contract for gas, costs
of engines and other things per-
tanning.
From the present information
it appears that a large saving
could be made by using natural
gas for irrigation and if with fur
Their information this can be con-
firmed, there are great POSSIBLE
tiles for the valley.
If the main advantages, cheaper
cost of irrigation, can be had, the
other advantages that follow are:
First, that under this system dis
tricts could be formed of small
units, taking in only the best Sec
tions Of land; second, having gas
for household use thereby lowering
our fuel costs more than half: and
third, using Of gas for orchard
heating, making this one of the
best soft fruit districts in the
country.
