that China was unable to protect

Budget On Farm
Shows Numerous
Ways To Reduce

That the farmer spends too much
money for tobacco, that it costs as
much money to run the automobile
as it does the table, and that child
rem get an undue share of the bud
get, are some discoveries made by
housewives on farms in California.
Prof. Harriet c. Eddy, state leader
of home demonstration agents, tells
in the monthly summary of the
University Of California Agricul-
tural Extension Service, the fol-
lowing story of farm family life:
Several hundred farm women in
California, keeping home accounts,
have been amazed at the way veg
etables from the garden, fruit and
nuts from the orchard, poultry and
eggs from the farm flock, and farm
dairy products reduce the money
outlay for the family living. Fresno
county alone reports 1l6 women
active in this project. Summaries
are made at the end of each month.
The cost listed for the home grown
products is the price that would be
received if the article were sold.
For example, the cost of milk per
gallon is listed at the price that
would be received if it were sold at
the local creamery.
Here are some interesting items
that have been reported: One ,wo-
man found that she was feeding
her family adequacy at cost of
7 cents meal for each person. An
other reported that the item for
tobacco and cigarettes, included in
the grocery bill, was larger than an
ticipated, so after a family con-
ference it was agreed that father
should have a special allowance
for this necessity. Another found
that the children were receiving
more than their fair share of the
income. 1t was decided that they
should have a regular allowance
so that they might learn the value
of money and how TO eXpend it
wisely, by buying their own clothes.
One account keeper, reported one
domestic argument settled by hav-
ing the grocery bill down in "black
and white" Her husband thought
she was spending too much for
groceries. Wien the monthly sum-
mary was made the grocery bill was
only Sc cents more than the gaso-
line mill for the automobile Many
families find the upkeep of the
automobile one of the large items
in the account keeping.
I'm several of the counties the
women interested in keeping home
accounts have been meeting in
groups every three or four months,
to discuss their problems, receive
help on debatable items, and to
encourage each other. Not a few
have fallen by the wayside; they
forget, husband loses the sales
bills, or everything is going out and
nothing coming in Those who
have stayed with the project are
looking forward to much helpful
information when the yearly sum-
mary is made"

Tubbs Endorsed
By Ex-GOvernOrs
For u. S. Senate

LOS ANGELES, Oct. rs. (Spe-
ciaD-Two former California gov
errors this week appealed to the
electorate of the state to support
the candidacy of Tallant Tubbs.
Republican nominee for United
States senator at the election Nov
ember 8.
James N. GilIett of Oakland
and DR.. George G. Pardee of Berk-
eley in statements issued through
Southern California headquarters
Of the Tubbs campaign, urged cleo
ton of the Republican nominee as
the surest means of safeguarding
the states interest in Washington.
DR.. Pardee's Endorsement. of Tubbs
came simultaneously with his in
dorsement of the entire Republi-
can ticket in state and nation
whose election he declared vital
to public welfare and the speedy
economic rehabilitation of the
country"
Pardee at the same time eX-
pressed satisfaction over tn pub
lie statement issued by Tubbs
Monday in San Diego in which he
definitely and frankly stated his
opposition to immediate payment
OF the soldiers bonus both from
the viewpoint of public welfare
and the welfare of the veterans
themselves.
81 trust that his statement will
have the effect it so justly de-
serves" Pardee declared. ut is in
keeping with the general public
attitude on this question, believe
and certainly it is in keeping with
sound governmental policy"
Former Governor Gillett calling
attention to existing economic con-
ditions and the necessity for mas
tering them through the perpetu-
alton of Sound Republican poll
Cyl declared Tallant Tubbs to be
well fitted and qualified to meet
this situation. "Mr. Tubbs has
had eight years experience in the
state senate, he said. "He is
deeply interested and concerned
in the protection and welfare of
our farms as well as all other CAL
ifornia industries. He favors
tariff which will give the full pro-
lection and he will favor legisla-
ton which will encourage and de-
velop our foreign commerce in the
orient. He is sincerely devoted
to the best interests of our labor
ing classes.
'Mr. Tubbs will urge congress to
pass legislation which will assist
our state and our farmers in our

Gas System Now
Nearly Complete

Work is now being rapidly COM
pleted on an extensive improve
ment program on the local distri-
button system of Natural Gas Cor
poration of California, according
to r. L. Hayden, district manager
This work has been carried on
during the slack summer months,
so that everything would be in
readiness for the heavy winter
load.
Hayden further states that with
the completion of this program, Ell
Centre now has one of the most
modern and up to date gas plants
and distribution systems of any
community its size. A new gas
plant was completed here last
winter by the company, and con-
tinued improvements have been
IN progress since that time.
Present construction has includ-
ed the laying of a 6-inch main on
Fourth street, between the alley
north of Hamilton to the alley
south of Commercial street, and a
4-inch line from the. alley north
of Hamilton to the alley south of
Holt street This line ties in with
the lateral transmission mains
extending east from Seventh
street
In addition to the laying of this
new main, regulator stations have
been placed at Seventh and Adams,
Seventh and He'll, Fourth and
Hamilton streets to feed into this
network Of mains, thereby equal
izing the flow of gas from all di-
rections which will assure every
one in this territory a plentiful
supply of gas without variation in
pressure, even during peak load
periods. These stations are equip
ped with automatic control, which
will increase the output with in
creased demand, thereby holding
practically constant pressure in
the area which is bounded on the
east by Fourth street, west by
Eighth, north by Adams and south
by He'll street.

before breakfast-it's the SAFE,

thousands of men and women know.
For your health's sake ask for and
