not likely to result from the wiring

Instead of getting new fuse when

too prevalent. I know a fire in-

The seven days beginning Sun
day, October z, are being observed
as Fire Prevention Week.
Fires may be thrill to those WHO
merely watch spectacular apparatus
laundering through the streets,
but they constitute a far different
picture to the victims of a blaze
Last year 10000 persons. men, wo-
men and children, lost their lives
in fires, and the property loss
amounted to some $30O,0O0,00O in
the United States alone. Fire Pre-
vention Week is set aside to think
about these vast tolls and to renew
our efforts against them. That 1t is
doing good work is indicated by a
comparison of the 1929 fire loss
which amounted to $780, 100000.
| Hundreds Of cities have made
Fire Prevention week a firelesS week.
A survey over a five-year period
showed, for the cities reporting, a
reduction of nearly so per cent in
fire losses for Fire Prevention week
and similar decrease during the
week preceding and the week fol
! lowing. During these weeks each
year these cities averaged 1874 fire.
less weeks. That's what a little eff.
fort can do.
Accordingly, as your part in the
observance of Fire Prevention week,
have the following suggestions to
make, based on advice furnished by
fire protection authorities. You can
do these things in your own home
and can carry out a similar check
.up In your place of business:
Go over the whole house, up in
the attic, in closets, down in the
cellar, and all out.of the-way pla-
ces, and remove all rubbish and
needless accumulations of things
to burn. Provide metal cans to hold
debris. This is one of the most use
full fire prevention measures you
can carry out. Carelessly discarded
smokes" matches, or sparks from
stoves or furnaces, will often go out
of their own accord if there is no
rubbish or other combustible ma
terial to ignite. Some kinds of waste
material however, ignite spontan.
eously.
Check up on your heating equip
ment. You will shortly start to
use this as cold weather approach
es. See that stoves and heaters
are set up on substantial bases
away from walls. Make sure that
smoke pipes are clean, in good re.
pair, securely supported and at
least a foot from woodwork or
combustible material. If you have
an oil burner, have it cleaned be-
fore starting it up this fall.
Check Electric Equipment
Look over all the cords on port
able electric equipment, reading
lamps, toasters, electric irons, and
other appliances. Replace them
If they become the least worn or

The President said he Believes
substantial progress has been made
in improving the price level, but
was unable to say definitely how
much more increase is necessary.
He still retains his goal of attempt

large fluctuations once the desired
level is reached, he said. Gold may
be a factor in bringing about the

American plans for the 1890 con.

he could get for them.
Then trouble developed between

Stimson thought Prime Minister

dealt with successfully.

To Relieve Catarrh,
Catarrhal Deafness
And Head Noise.

Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness, or who are growing hard
of hearing and have head noises
will be glad to know that this dis
tressing affliction can usually be
successfully treated at home by an
internal medicine that in many
instances has effected complete re-
lief and other treatments have
, failed. Sufferers who could scarce
ly hear have had their hearing re-
stored to such an extent that the
tick of watch was plainly audible
seven or eight inches away from
either ear. Therefore, If you know
of someone who is troubled with
head noises or catarrhal deafness,
cut out this formula and hand 1t
to them and you may have been
the means of saving some poor suf-
ferer perhaps from total deafness.
The prescription can be prepared
at home and is made as follows:
Secure from Clements Drug
Store or your druggist l or. Par
mint Double Strength) Take this
home and add to it a pint of hot
water and a little granulated sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table
spoonful four times a day.
Parmint is used In this way not
only to reduce by tonic action the
inflammation and swelling in the
Eustachian Tubes, and thus to
equalize the air pressure on the
drum, but to correct any excess of
secretions in the middle ear, and
the results it gives are nearly al
ways quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh
in any form, or distressing, rumb-
ling, Kissing sounds in their ears,
should give this recipe a trial.

CLARENCE r. WALKER


Perhaps because he is successful
farmer, who does his farming on the
ranch instead of on the cnrbstones and
sidewalks Of the city streets, Clarence R.
Walker, Republican candidate for as
sefnblyman, is not widely known in all
parts of the valley, though in the north
end, where he has been an outstanding
citizen for the past % years, Walker has
the respect and admiration of a large
circle of friends.
He is the son of the late R. A. Walker,
one of the valleys pioneers, who came
here in 1905 and was one of the first to
grow eantaloupes on commercial scale,
working for the old Coggins and Lyons
firm, now known as Miller-Cummings.
He is native of Nebraska, AZ years
old, married and has one daughter. With
his two brothers he has been conducting
the affairs of his father S estate consist
ing of three ranches in the Westmorland
area His home is in the city of West
morland. He is genuine farmer, look
ing after his interests in the field, rath-
er than directing them from a desk or
through a second party and his expert
ence has made him familiar with and
sympathetic to the problems of the farm
er.
Shortly after the United States enter
ed the World war he enlisted in the air
service and served year and a half in
that branch of the army. His interest
in aviation has continued ever since and
he has more air hours to his credit than
many civilian pilots.
While of a retiring nature and find
ing sufficient to keep him busy with his
ranch work, Walker has not lodged civic
responsibility and has given freely OF
his time and efforts in public affairs
He has served nine years as member OF
the Westmorland school board, is men,
Der of the Westmorland city council,
chairman of the Westmorland sanitary
district, is a member of the present grand
jury and is on the board of directors Of
the Westmorland Community church.
He has a pleasing personality and is
the type of man everyone likes to meet,
an asset which he has not used to furth-
er himself politically, socially or econ
omcally.
In short, Clarence Walker is high
type of citizen, the sort Imperial county
should be proud to send to Sacramento
where its representative is thrown into
comparison with leaders from all parts Of
the state. He is not politician but ne
is man capable of giving the benefit OF
business and farming training to politl-
cal affairs and that is what is so soreiy
needed in the political life of this eoun-
try.
We believe that when he has made
himself known to more people during
this campaign many are going to feel as
we do-that he is the right man to rep
resent us at the state capital.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND MR.
BRAKES QUACK

Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy one
morning was clearing away the
breakfast dishes from the table
where Uncle Wiggily had just fin
ished eating his carrot oatmeal,
when the muskrat lady housekeep-
er asked:
Ibid you hear about Mr.. Drake,
Uncle Wiggily?"
"Mr. Drake! No! What's the
matter with him?" asked the rab-
bit gentleman in surprise.
"Mr. Drake can't quack!o said
Nurse Jane.
HE can't quack? Oh, that IS
too bad!" exclaimed Mr.. Longears.
And indeed it was. Mr.. Drake was
duck gentleman. He was the
father of Lulu, Alice and Jimmie
Wibblewobble, the duck girls and
boy, but the gentleman duck was
