COUNTY OIL co.
PRODUCT WARNS
VALLEY HOMES

One hundred El Centro homes
We're warmed last winter by stoves
purchased from the County Oil Co.
This clean, reasonably priced fuel
solved the heating problems SO sat-
isfactorily that many more resi-
dences are expected to turn to this
fuel for heating during the coming
winter
by means of this economical
stove oil, according to L. R. Jeffer-
son, owner of the company, many
families spent the winter in COM
fortably warm homes at a cost
much less than would have been
possible if any other fuel had been
used"
The company WHOLESALERS and re-
tails the product which is brought
to the county by truck and trailer
loads.
Throughout the winter" Jeffer
son continued, many residents
kept the oil heaters going "a hours
a day. They never were forced to
enter a cold house or arise to find
the whole dwelling chilled and un-
comfortable. They also were able
to warm the whole house at less
cost than one room is heated under
other conditions
Stove oil is delivered to the home
in so gallon drums and it requires
two drums a month to heat the av-
erage home satisfactorily. Some
users purchaser three drums for a
tWo-month period.
Jefferson was enthusiastic con-
corning the use of stove oil as a
heating agent and especially prais-
ed its cleanliness.
Many business concerns and Of
fices use the stove oil for heat with
the numbers of users increasing
every year.

and great many things which go
to make homes comfortable, con-
venient and attractive are carried
by the Whiting Mead company at
the big store on west Main street,
El Centro.
This firm, which has been in bus
mess in El Centro for the last Il
years began business, as a plumb
ing manufacturing concern. Addi-
tional lines were added until now

stoves, water heaters, dishWashers,

which also dries the dishes and is
large enough to hold the dishes for
large family, Immediately catches
the eye.
Electric stoves, refrigerators and
water heaters in units to be pur-.
chased separately or in complete

as they can be. The sets are small
enough to fit nicely into an apart
ment or a small home. The water
heater is the same height as the
stove and the top is finished SO that
it may be used as a table top. Re-
frigerators, ranges and water heat
erS of all sizes also are carried in

If you like to make your own

The brand new idea is to choose

You can find curtains with
vertical design to go with vertically
striped draperies and curtains with
a spider web pattern to be hung
with draperies printed on the bias.
For very large floral effects
wide, open mesh in simple de-
sign, made with a coarse threat,
is unusually effective. Another
combination is a leaf pattern, form

plsted home. Each addition adds
to the general charm of the place
as we'll as to the floor space, a
result difficult to achieve when
each step in expansion is not
planned carefully in advance.
The original house contains
three rooms; a living room (the
future dining room) with adequate
wall space and cheerful windows,
a completely modern kitchen with
built in cases and provision for
range, refrigerator and sink, and
a good sized bed room. The bath
is located off of the living room
a convenient arrangement where
guests would use the roll-aWay
bed contained. in a closet of the
living room. A medicine cabinet
and modern fixtures are provided
in a compact space here. The
bedroom at the front Of the house
is large enough to accommodate
twin beds, and contains two Win
dows. Closet space throughout the
house is carefully considered; the
bedroom has a large clothes closet
and a linen closet; the vestibule
has a coat closet, and the bed
closet in the living room can ac-
commodate extra wearing apparel.
The first addition in most cases
would probably involve finishing
the second floor of the house.
Two large bedrooms, a second bath
and three closets can thus be add
ed to the house. The short, we'll
lighted hallway on this floor gives
access to the stairs leading into
the dining room.
The large living room, which
might we'll be the third addition,
contains a natural fireplace, and
has two pairs of French doors
opening onto the attractive porch.
This room is of the studio type,
a story-and-a half in height. A
beamed ceiling would be particlu-
larly attractive here.
The final addition tor, an ear
lier addition) includes the garage
and covered gate. The result is
a home that typifies the English
cottage at its best, yet a home
that is thoroughly in keeping with
the requirements Of present day
American living.
A feature OF the plan that de-
serves particular attention, Whe-
thar the house is built as a single
unit or allowed to grow" with the
ears, is the convenience Of the
downstairs bedroom. Particularly
in the house with an elderly per-
son or with children, this feature
will be appreciated. The first floor
bathroom, of course, serves the
purpose of an extra laVatory as
well as serving the first floor bed
room.
The design, as illustrated, util-
izss vertical siding, shingles and
-timbered stucco in its con-
struction. Where desired brick
and stone, brick and stucco, brick
and shingles or stone and half
timbered stucco might be combin-
ed. Local material, whether stone,
brick or frame, might well be util-
lied in its construction while re-
aiming the English feeling. De-
tails are o. particular importance

FRESH AIR AND SUNLIGHT MOST
IMPORTANT IN CHILDS NURSERY

Mothers the world over desire
cheerful, pleasant nurseries for
their children.
In arranging for a room of this
kind, an abundance of fresh air and
sunlight is important. If possible
to add a sleeping porch to the room,
it means great benefit TO the occu-
pant.
It is necessary, too, that materials
used in the room be of the varieties
that are readily kept clean. This
safeguards the health of the child
as we'll as that of the per-
son caring for the room.
In a room modernized for a nurs-
cry with a small amount of money,
the walls were covered with paper
of a light pastel paid. The wood
work was painted deep cream, and
a composition floor resembling
planking was laid Venetian blinds

Washington, Feb. AP)-Defend
ing the Supreme court from criticism
by Democratic leaders and others,
Senator George, Democrat, Georgia,
told the Senate today such attacks
were in his opinion, without justifi-
cation
Opposing an amendment by Sena-
tor McNary, the Republican leader.
to prevent lands taken out of pro
duction under the new farm bill from
being used for grazing dairy and 9th
err cattle, George said he regretted
criticism of the court for its AAA
decision, respectfully" that from the
Democratic leadership
He did not mention Democratic
Leader Robinson by name.
George said the McNary amend
ment clearly would make the soil
conservation bill unconstitutional,
adding;
"Whatever my party writes into
the next platform, l will not support
any program that looks to the elimi-
nation of the dual system of govern
ment."
Expressing doubt about the validity
of the soil act, George added, much
would depend on its administration. ,"
Controversy over the McNary pro-
posal flared after the Senate adopted
an amendment to prohibit the secre-
tary of agriculture from mourning
obligations in excess of the $3OO,OOO,-
900 authorized.
The amendment was offered by
Senator Clark, Democrat, Missouri, to
prevent whit he termed a repetition of
recognized excess expenditures, as "a
moral Obligation" such as was the
case in contracts entered into with
farmers under the AAA before the
Supreme Court decision.
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, South
Carolina, said he would offer an
amendment to the Independent offices

viding 100000 for the farm pro-

Both Democrats and Republicans
virtually have decided to avoid the
chief issues.
But there are three elements that
spell trouble;
J. Realities themselves-such as the
stark statement by President William
Green of the American Federation of
Labor that there still are II ,4O1 ,0OO
jobless in the United States Cat the
same time that relief funds have been
cut drastically)
g. Economic readjustment-such as
the probable settling of prices when
huge spending has been discontinued
and initiation is held in check.
3. Demands of liberals that Presi-
