WHETHER one lives in the
w country and raises ones own
vegetables and chickens, or in the
city where one is dependent on
the markets. the easiest and best
as well as the most healthful and
economical way to plan meals Is
TO use the seasonal products.
Seasons mean so much less
these days, when food is shipped
so far and in such perfect eondi-
tion. than they did in the days of
our grandmothers that we are in
clined to forget that each fruit
and vegetable has a certain period
OF perfection and abundance. At
these times the produce usually
Is at its lowest price.
July is the month when lamb
Is cheapest. 1t has passed the
delicate stage of spring" lamb
and is plain, unadorned lamb. full
Favored and toothsome.
Chichen-Time. Too
Spring chicken also is partiou-
larly delicious in July. It too has
passed the first stage of immatur-
lty, but is tender and juicy.
Young ducklings, green goose
and guinea fowl add variety to
the list of summer meats. These
are usually more costly and are
considered delieacies.
Smoked and salted or cured
meats and fish often are very pop
ular during hot weather. The
cured products, especially pork,
are decidedly seasonable for sum-
mer. Fresh pork is desirable only
during the winter months.
Dried and corned beef, picked
tongues of lamb and veal, picked
pigs knuckies and many varieties
or smoked sausages are acceptable
when the thermometer scars.
The by-products of foods also
have a certain season when they
are naturally plentiful and of su-
perior quality. During June and
July milk is at its best and cot
Imperial Valley press., 1931-07-17

cottage cheese has a delicacy OF
feaYor not found at other seasons
of the year.
For Use in Cooking
Buttermilk makes an appetizing
and healthful beverage, or 1t can
be used to good advantage in bak-
ing. You often can use it inter-
changeably with sour milk in
recipes.
The sorcalled homegrown fruits
and vegetables usually are cheaper
than these which must be shipped
long distances. Truck gardeners
usually plant several crops of
each vegetable. Each of these
crops Is harvested at intervals and
prolongs the season.
Ii you market with these fac
tors in mind, you will be able to
serve your family with the best
the market affords the year
around. You also will find this
plan makes for a pleasing con-
trast between summer and winter
menus.

needy family and makes every effort to
find a job for the capable wage Garner.
The employees were not required to
organize. Mr.. Clarke explained, but the
company was gratifled to find that the
five friends" not only obtained food
and clothes at their own expense for
the needy. and found them jobs. but
even patched up marital difficulties, de-
veloped romances and otherwise entered
into the lives OF their charges.
Typical of the work carried on last
year was that of the Indianapolis Pow
er & Light Co., which distributed 1850
baskets. each containing an average of
Sc pounds of food; So tons of coal and
623 loads of wood. About 800 Indian
apolis families were assisted.
The utilities company, which tech
nically furnished no funds, took care
of overhead expenses, bought large
quantities of food at cheaper rates and
otherwise made the work Of employees
easier.
Mr.. Clarke believes the plan is easily
disable in any company.
considering the fact that about 30
per cent Of all wealth Is represented by
wages, it seems only fair that wage
earners should have the opportunity, If
they wish. to assist in unemployment

MOSCOW, U. S. S. r., September a.
How the United States is preparing
war against the Soviet Union and how
the American communist party is al
ready successfully waging class warfare
there are two favorite themes OF recent
weeks summarized in articles contribu-
uted to the Moscow Pravda, the worlds
leading Communist organ, yesterday.
While serious opinion here Is that the
United States Is in a position to assist
the Soviet Union either with loans or
considerable credits fer purchases, such
ideas are not expressed in the news
papers, being incongruous with the
daily picture given to the public OF tho
United States verging on economic ruin,
with millions unemployed and either
living on a plate Of watery soup or
starving.
With leading European countries
viewed tolerantly on account of the
credits they are giving to the Soviets,
while the Interpretation of the new
American tariff in January is liable
further to bar Soviet exports, the United
States is particularly eligible for the
role Of horrible example Of wicked
capitalist country.

disarmament, is arming itself, and,
talking about peace, is preparing for a
war, primarily against the Soviet
Union" says Pravda, 1.-The Soviet Union,
according to its peaceful policy, will in
crease its vigilance against the criminal
efforts of the American bcurgeoisie."
Diverging from the subject of war,
which is a counterblast to similar ar
ticle in an American magazine depict
ing the military strength of the Soviet
Union, Pravda gives an American-con-
tributed report of the organization work
in America.
Though the American communist
PARTY has been slow in eXerting its in
f1uence on the masses, 1,l25,OOO work.
ers have responded to its appeal of
March 6, 1880, says Pravda'S summary.
Work in the labor unions among the
employed has improved after the meet
ing of party leaders last December,
partly due to the explosions CT Jay
Lovestone and Benjamin Gitlow from
leadership.

6. Active work among the unem-
ployed has established aeuniform front
with employed workers, the former
picketing and the latter marching in
unemployment insurance parades.
z. Great success has been achieved
In organizing soviets Of unemployed in
Chicago, Detroit and other cities.
g. The defense Of the nine Scots

Of three Negroes killed In Chicago
brought out 10000 participants, while

movement and there were 500 petitions
to join the Communist party.
10. Party membership probably will
be doubled and 100000 new members
enrolled in revolutionary labor unions
before the end Of the year.
THE party will lead the fights Of the
workers In the coming unusually hard
Winter. increasing ten-fold the fight for
employment Insurance." the report con-
cludes. ALSO there will be an increase
in work in the labor unions and among
young people and unemployed, the latter
being especially ready to fight. The
Communist party in the United States
has a great opportunity to take the
leadership In the class struggle Of the
American workers and to fight against
the plans Of American bankers to de-
clare war on the Soviet Union"
