Springfield Tuesday and phone May- er Cording their reply. Plalndealer Scored Scoop One of the Springfield represent- atives at Monday evening's meeting paid The Plalndealer a compliment when he told the committee of eight that the first news the Illinois Com- mercial Telephone company received at Springfield that the Illinois State Commerce Commission had granted his company a rate raise was when a local employe mailed them a clipping from The Plalndealer announcing that the raise had been granted. That probably accounts for the story a local employe circulated at the time that there was nothing to the reported raise and that It was Just a Plalndealer mis-statement. Tho Plalndealer got Its Information at that time directly from the secre- tary of the commission, and time has proven that this paper was correct In that and subsequent statements. Surprised at Opposition The assistant general manager County Treasurer Eymann went to Springfield, where he turned over 10 the stale treasurer the sum of $53,- 505.51. Of this amount 116.675.03 was In the form of drafts, while the remainder. $36,830.58 was in the form of a voucher, representing the school funds. The sum of $53,505.61 which Mr. Eymann reported to the state treas- urer represents the state's share of taxes which have been collected in Llvlngstnn connty thus far this spring, The amount turned over to the state treasurer a year ago was $78,444.31. In as much as the state tax law has been changed, making It possible for taxpayers to pay their taxes In two Installments, $53,505.- 61 is considered a very good collec- tion.— Pontiac Deader. ORCHESTRA P M C K 8E<X>ND Chatsworth township high school orchestra was second In Class B In the district contest held at Bloom- ington Saturday. Staunton high school orchestra won first. Further particulars of the contest appear in The Tatler in this issue. C. T. H. 8. ACCREDITED Chatsworth township high school has again been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleg- es and Secondary Schools. An ar- Ucle on the subject appears In The Tatler In thin issue. According to press dispatches front Washington Dr. John G. Dwyer Cullom physician, has won his long fight to have the blot on his war record cleared. Members of the house military af- fairs committee in Washington Fri- day voted to absolve him from blame for the death of a voting man who died as a result of the alleged neglect of Dr. Dwyer. Dr. Dwyer was court martlaled and discharged from the army in 1917. H e was charged with crim- inal neglect. For almost fifteen )ears the doctor lias worked steadily to have the blot removed but without success until last week After his enlistment in the World war Dr. Dwyer was assigned to the medical corps at Camp Funston, Kansas. About that time the ter- rible influenza epidemic broke out Among the young soldiers who ap- peared before Dr. Dwyer for examin- ation was a young man with whom the doctor failed to find anything wrong, but sent the patient to two other physicians. They also found nothing wrong but four days later the young ntan was dead front alleg- ed medical neglect. The affair created almost a na- tion wide scandal at the time. Dr. Dwyer was tried and found guilty. The chief witness against him was Capt. Izouis E. Whistler, with whom It Is claimed Dr. Dwyer had some dfiferenees. Later. according to Lieut. Col. Joseph I. McMullen, who represented the doctor at the court martial and at the hearing In Wash ington last week. Capt. Whistler committed suicide after robbing a bank and killing four of its employ- es. After Friday’s deliberation the committee went into executive ses- sion where the sub-committee recom - mended that Dr. Dwyer be named a first lieutenant In the army with "no back pay or allowance" by the president. Dr. Dwyer returned to Cullom fol- fwlng his dismissal from the army nd resumed the practice of medi- cine which he had given up when he enlisted. Although somewhat brok- en In health he kept up his fight val- iantly and now apparently has vic- tory In sight.

meeting several persons mentioned about the telephone company order­ing their operators not to give out Information concerning the location of fires In the village. The repre­sentatives of the telephone company assured those present that orders would be given the local switchboard operators to render any assistance possible In case of a fire and so far as possible answer all Information

stated also to the commutes that he ‘ requests.

Plalndealer Scored Scoop One of the Springfield represent­

atives at Monday evening's meeting paid The Plalndealer a compliment when he told the committee of eight that the first news the Illinois Com­mercial Telephone company received at Springfield that the Illinois State Commerce Commission had granted his company a rate raise was when a local employe mailed them a clipping from The Plalndealer announcing that the raise had been granted. That probably accounts for the story a local employe circulated at the time that there was nothing to the reported raise and that It was Just a Plalndealer mis-statement. Tho Plalndealer got Its Information at that time directly from the secre­tary of the commission, and time has proven that this paper was correct In that and subsequent statements.

The committees problem con­cerns the present and future exist­ence of all class B, C and D leagues and the restoration to life of several deceased members. The committee realizes that the only sure remedy is money. In large doses.

Minor league baseball never lias been a means to wealth, but years ago the minors used to survive on the generosity of big-hearted civic- minded business men. Those men who annually kicked tu with $100 or $200 apiece to pay off the players were held up before the community as fine, upright, public-spirited citi­zens. The donors usually put it

Upon the shoulders of these men lie the ta lk of saving the de­clining minor leagues from extinction. They are, above, left, Judge W. G. Bramhani, chief executive In the Piedmont League and chair­man of tho ••life-saving" committee; left, below. Branch Rickey, head of the Bt.

down in the books as 'advertising" money well spent.

Then there was a war, business ran wild, golf made dangerous in­roads. depression crept tn. Baseball deficits steadily grew higher. Divi­dends shrunk. Generosity of the business men became fratsled, then finally gave way entirely. The bosh leagues folded up.• • •rp w o roads are pointed out to the *■ present committee. Neither is

a smooth, straight road. One leads

to Rickey's chain store system. The other points to a "working agree­ment" by which major league teams endow certain minors with money and fresh talent, with the privilege of taking back some of the tRient at the close of the season.

Opponents of the chain store sys­tem see destruction of civic pride in the elites where 'system" teams are Installed. But proponents of the plan believe it is better to have baseball without civic pride, than to have neither.

GROWING PAINSSpeaking before the Economic

Club of Chicago recently. Mr. Nich­olas Murray Duller, president of Columbia university said, “The cur­rent depression Is different. It may he likened to growing pains, which although (hey hurt terribly, are not necessarily serious In the sense that they threaten life.”

It is a tact which more people should come to appreciate, that our present troubles are growing pains. America is in process of a larger an l more m ature development. We are heading loward a future greater than anything the past has known.

President Hoover recently predict­ed a 20,000,009 increase in our United States population in the next twenty years a million per year, on an average He pictured 4.000.000 new homes for them; thousands of new city buildings, factories, thou­sands of miles of new highways, and railway systems with increased ca­pacity to serve this greater America.

In corroboration of this view. Mr. Charles Abbott, managing director of the American Institute- of S led Con­struction, tells us tha t our ten big­gest industrial years are ahead of us. Charles F. Kettering, of General Mo­tors. w ining recently in the Satur­day Evening Post, expressed similar views. These men are forward- looking. undiscotiraged. confident.

An im l l i i d t i a l without imagination or faith, with no background of ex­perience. can look at the hare muddy

fields of March and turn away In discouragement from the dreary ex­panse of landscape. But the wise old farm er who has seen many har­vests, knows that Nature is already getting the soil ready for the com­ing crops. Surface indications do not tell the true story. Nor do the current disturbances on the surface of our national life give a true pic­tu re of tomorrow. Have faith In America

On Wednesday, May 7, Forrest comes here to participate In a dual meet with Chatsworth which will be the only meet on the local field this season.

Kerber was high point man in the Saunemln meet last Friday, collect­ing two firsts and a seoond. The two firsts were in the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes and a second in the broad Jump.

Huffman ran the half mile at Fair- bury in 2:10 which is only about 3 seconds from the county record and seven seconds lower than hts own record for the Saunemln invitational meet.

Falrbury was substitute for Che- noa in our track schedule due to Chenoa's cancellation a few days be­fore the meet.

The boys at school have been prac­ticing kitten ball a t noon and after school so they can play against oth­er teams from neighboring towns. One nice tiling about tills kind of ball is that no mitts or gloves or protectors are needed to catch the balls. The balls can’t be knocked as far as a hard ball and consequent ly need not be chased so far. Tire halt is a little harder than an indoor ball, although It can also be used in­doors as well as outdoors.

Ouy oue month Is left of school, but we (tnd this to be the hardest month of all for most pupils. Some who want to get good grades and get exempted at the end of the year are working harder at their studies. O thers are on the track squad and are working hard to represent Chatsworth In contest and tourna­ments. A few pupils who play In the orchestra are also going to con­tests to compete against neighboring schools. The seniors are preparing for the class play, the senior ban­quet, and commencement and Bacca­laureate evenings.

Do you know why thero are a lot of seniors on the "E " honor roll this six weeks? Maybe it’s because they are fighting to be valedictorian this year. T hat would probably also ac­count for the few juniors on the “E ” honor roll. They are wise and are are saving the ir energy for next year. It 1b also natural for the sophomore and freshmen classes to tra il along behind somewhere. They'll learn.

TALL CYPRESS TREESBROUGHT TO GILMAN

Tall cypress trees from the ever­glades of Florida, four thousand of them, have been planted by Frank I. Mann, along the streets of Gilman and along the highways leading Into th a t town. They are interspersed a t Intervals with red cedears brought from Tennessee. This will be the monument that will remind future generations of the part that Mr. Mann had In the development of the community of Gilman and his work for agriculture in Illinois.

No more enduring monument could be erected, for the Cypress, "Taxodlum Ascendens" live thou­sands of years. One In Central Am­erica Is called the oldest living thing in the world and Is estimated to be 5,000 years old.

Mr. Mann gave a few of the trees to friends but for the most part they are planted to m ark the streets, highways and boundaries of the Mann farm .—AVatseka Democrat.

I like the depression.No more prosperity for me.I have had more tun Blnce the de­

pression started than I ever hud iu my life. I had forgotten how to live, what it m eant to have real friends, what it was like to eat common ev­eryday food. Fact is. I was getting just a little high hat.

Three years ago, only one man of the News-Globe organization could be out of town at a time and he had to leave at the last minute and get back as soon as possible. Many times I have driven 100 miles to a banquet, sat through three hours of bunk lu order to make a five m inute speech, then drive the 100 miles back so as to be ready for work the next day.

Nowadays, as many News-Globe employes as are invited make the trip and we stay as long as we want to. The whole outfit could leave the of­fice now and it would not make any difference.

I like the depression. I have time to visit my friends, to make new ones. Two years ago when I went to a neighboring town, I always stayed at the hotel. Now I go home with my friends, stay all night and enjoy home cooking. 1 have even spent the week-end with some of the boys who have been kind enough to invite me.

It's great to drop into a store and feel that you can spend an hour or two or three or four hours just vis­iting and not feel that you are wast­ing valuable time. 1 like the de­pression.

I am getting acquainted with my neighbors. In the last six months I have become acquainted with folks who have been living next door to me for three years. I am following the Biblical admonition, "Love your neighbors.” One of my neighbors has one of the best looking wives I have ever seen. She is a dandy. I am getting acquainted with my neighbors and learning to love them

Three years ago I ordered my clothes from a merchant tailor— two or three suits at a time. All my clothes were good ones. I was al­ways dressed up. But now, I haven't bought a suit In two years. I am mighty proud of my Sunday-go-to meeting clothes. At times when 1 dress up, I am dressed up and I don't mean maybe. I like the de­pression.

Three years ago I was so busy and my wife was so busy tha t we didn't see much of each other, so we sort of lost interest in each other. I never went home to lunch. About twice a week I went home for dinner — at 6:30 o'clock, I never had time to go on a party, I could never locate her. and since there was always a “blonde” or a "redhead” available 1 didn't worry much about it.

My wife belonged to all the clubs in town. She even joined the young mothers' club. We don’t have any children, but she was studying,— and between playing bridge and go­ing to clubs she was never at home.

We got stuck up and hifalutin. We even took down the old family bed and bought a set of twin beds— on the installm ent plan.

Modernization campaigns have been launched In many Illinois citieB. Freeport is active In the work; Kan­kakee has its citizens out afte r im­provements; Belvtdere reports favor­able progress along such lines; S treator Is hard at work; and Dan­ville has already given employment to many jobless citizens through the sponsoring of a campaign of modern­ization. Chicago's efforts along this line are being pushed so that the city may make a favorable Im­pression at the time of the 1933 fair.

Ir> line with a national drive to re­duce unemployment, civic organiza­tions in many Illinois towns have joined in the three-fold plan for the te-employment of men and money. This plan calls for Ihe expenditure of money for some Item that ordin­arily would not be purchased, build­ing remodeling and the hiring of ad ­ditional help, either temporary or permanent. Cities reporting progress iu this campaign include Belvidere, Elgin. Barrington. Streator, Pekin, Lincoln, Mount Vernon. Normal, Syc­amore, Bloomington. Danville, Ma­comb, Carlinvllle, Beardstown, Mo- Itue, Eldorado. Belleville, Morris. Effingham, I'rbana. De Kalb, East St. Louis. St. Charles, Kankakee, Ot­tawa. Evanston. Waukegan and Au-

W lth village and township elec­tions and state and county primaries disposed of, the voter has been able to define a trend In national affairs with a result that business has se t­tled down a bit to await the final verdict in state and national affairs uext November. Newspapers gener­ally, and in Illinois particularly, have called attention withjn the last week to a greater feeling of stability that has taken hold of the public. In that they see a beginning ol restora­tion of normal business and indus­trial activity. Wrhile Roger Babson and other authorities on business ec­onomics put the period needed for complete stabilization of business at from two to five years, nevertheless newspapers of the day seem to see worthwhile Indications that business Is Improving rapidly In some fields and tha t the passing of the elections has helped to hasten the improve­ment.

All over the sta te arrests are be­ing made over auto owners and driv­ers who have not equipped their cars with 1932 license plates. The rule so far has been to require the owner to upply for license at once and not to prosecute. In some Instances, however, where the warning has been ignored or neglected fines have been collected.

Why the Banks and the People Should

Work TogetherLife as we live it today could not exist w ithout banks.Think of trying to carry on trade on a man to man, hard cash basis; There would be no checks, no currency to speak of, and none of the convenient forms of paper credit on which we depend today.Men and women would have to carry heavy cash around at the risk of the ir lives. Business could not be conducted w ith­out bulky shipm ents of gold and silver, with guns and men to guard them.W ithout banks the commercial world would slow down to the ox-cart pace of a thousand years ago. Few of the inventions, luxuries, enjoym ents and accomplishments of our present-day civilization would exist. |The banks of today serve m ankind. Banks provide the facil­ities by which m anufacturers buy raw m aterial and employ la­bor; they enable m erchants to buy goods and sell them to the public; they benefit the farm er, the wage-earner and every in­dividual. Employment of people and the life of business de­pend upon the hanks.

ROADSIDE DEPRAVITYOld Mother N ature is now donning

her most attractive gown. City citi­zens will soon be driving out to spend the day with their country couBins. Half of the joy of the trip lies in the soul-satisfying beauties presented by the landscape along the road. No artist can paint such pic­tures, and poor indeed Ib the fellow who can’t appreciate them. Yet, there are some who fall to value na­tures beauties as they should. They tear and break flowering trees and shrubs without a thou'ght of others who are entitled to view these pic­tures of nuture in their original form. Landscape thus despoiled is a long time in getting back its beauty; in most cases It never comes back. It can only be hoped that this season there will be less of this sort of destruction. It Ib a form of roadside depravity that decent people cannot endorse. Let us show our

j appreciation of natu re’s efforts by | leaving the trees and the shrubs, the : flowers and the plants just as they are.

PIPER CITY NEWS

(The Journal. April 21. 1932) S c h o o l Salary Reductions

At a meeting of the directors of the Riper City grade schools this week it was decided to drop the study of music in the grades at the close of this term. New contracts for the coming year were also offer­ed all the members of the grade school faculty, with the exception of the music instructor, with a 20 per cent reduction in salaries.

A number of applications had been presented to the board for janitor of the school and at their meeting this week Albert Bouhl was employed again for the coming year at a salary of $60 per month.

The hoard estim ates that approxi­mately $1900 will be saved by the reductions they are making and also sta te that while the step was one of absolute necessity at this time they hope the adjustm ent to he only a temporary one.

ILLINOIS CROP NOTES(April 22. 1932)

Farm work lias made very favor­able progress since April 1st,, with soil in good condition for working. This lias offset the delay due to the March freeze-up and the advance­ment til farm work is now up to av- » rage. Plant growth is backward as April weather lias been mostly cool and dry. W ith some exceptions, chiefly in the south and west north­west, rainfall has beeu light during the past three weeks. W armer wea­ther and rains are needed to ad­vance all plant growth. Early re­ports indicate increased acreages ol grass crops, oats and barley, a heavy- decrease in w inter wheat, and a moderate reduction in the acreages of most other im portant crops (his season.

W inter wheat reports Indicate a la ir to good condition with moderate abandonment. Root growtli is fa­vorable but top growth is rather short. Seeding of spring sown grains Is completed with some north­ern exceptions. Soil moisture, espe­cially in the central and southern areas, was sufficient for uniform germination and most fields are now greening up. Seed corn supply Is ample and the preparation of corn ground is m aking good progress. Farm reserves of grains are above average. Tree fruit crop prospects range from a light crop to failure for peaches and pears, and a fair crop ol apples unless fu rther bloom dam ­age occurs. Farm labor supply con­tinues in excess of demand with wages back to prewar levels or less. Farm ers are getting along with as little hired help as possible due to reduced Income.

Livestock reports indicate that stock is in fair to good condition. There was considerable loss of spring pigs that were farrowed dur­ing tlie March cold wave. However, the outlook is for a substantial in­crease in the spring pig crop over that of a year ago. The number of cattle on Illinois farms is somewhat larger than tha t of a year ago. The same applies to the number of cattle on feed. However, the number of cattle on feed for all Corn Belt states combined is considerably re­duced from tha t of last year, due lo reduced numbers west of the Miss- sissippi river. — A. J. Surratt, Sr., A gricu ltu ra l Statistician.

The average woman may not be a magician but she can certainly turn a lot of things into an argum ent.

IT ( ’AN BE DONEGrade-crossing accidents of steam

roads operating in Pennsylvania were reduced 21 per cent last year as compared with 1930. The total was 719. of which 91 were killed outright and 336 were injured.

That it is up to the people to pro­vide their own protection is plainly- shown by these figures. Forty-two per cent of the total number of acci­dents occurred at crossings that were protected by gates. in many eases motorists brought upon them ­selves consequences that could have been prevented by more caution and less haste. Eight of those killed crashed their machines through the gates while they were lowered; fif­teen drove Into the sides of trains trains while they were passing over the crossings; 87 were caused by cars stalling on the tracks. In ad ­dition. 669 machines ran Into cross­ing gates, but as they did not come into contact with trains they were not listed as accidents.

Too much speed and too little pru­dence are the chief causes of crossing accidents. Trying to beat the train is just as senseless now as It has ever been. With the motoring sea­son now fairly opened up. Cliats- worlh car owners can do no wiser thing than to keep these facts in mind. No m atter how skillful you may be In handling a car. you’re Just as apt (o meet death at a railroad crossing if you don 't ’Vstop, Look and Listen.” as the poorest driver on (lie road. It doesn’t pay to take chanc­es. Once you have made up your mind to that fact, you're safe. But it Is up to every individual to pro­vide tils own protection.

NO T IM E F O R I IR E S"W e complain of hard times but

continue to burn up our w ealth,’ reads the opening sentence of a re­port recently sent out by the Nation­al Hoard of Fir<‘ Underwriters. "T hat seems to he an unreasonable attitude and it is due to the failure of the American people to under­stand the true significance of fires.”

Tlie estimated fire loss in the U. S. last year was $452.1)17,026. Just that much created wealth was actu­ally destroyed. The argum ent that insurance companies bear the loss Is erroneous. They merely fix the rates that others who take out Insur­ance will have to pay for protecting the ir property. Insurance is only a safeguard. In communities that have few fires the rates are lower than In communities that have many. In any ease what Is destroyed Is a def­inite part of the country's wealth and once It Is burned It Is lost for­ever.

Chatsworth citizens will be out of doors a great deal for the next sev­eral months. More of them will have occasion to roam the woods and fields and drive along the highways. Surely they will not be unmindful of

the trem endous loss th a t a single, carelessly flipped match can cause. Surely they will not forget that the embers of a camp fire, left smoulder­ing, may become active and the sparks therefrom cause a conflagra­tion th a t will rob Bomeone of a home — possibly result in the de­struction of human life. Any time is a bad time for fires. Today when we need to conserve every dollar's worth of property the need for ex­treme care is doubly important.

TH E M’l l J i TO WORKToo many people In this country

now are standing around with their hands in their pockets waiting for “prosperity to come back." But It's not coming hack unless there's some inducement. There must he the will to work for it and to buy It by- spending money now — not next month or next year. Take It right here at home. Isn 't it plain that too many people around Chatsworth have been hanging back, postponing this or that Improvement by prom­ising themselves they are going to have it done as soon as "business has turned the corner?” And Isn't it easy to see that every job postponed means just that much labor left in Idleness. Everybody needs something done. Everybody means something done. Everybody is sacrificing, and most of them needlessly. Now is the time to do away witli sacrifice. Buy to meet your needs and move forward with confidence. You can’t possibly make a mistake by spending money for Improvements when the same improvements, if postponed until later, will cost more money when they are done. Get busy while it means something to yourself and ev­erybody around you.

W ith the passing of early spring and Inevitable Btormy weather conse­quent to this season of the year, the fru it growers In southern Illinois are beginning to feel more optimistic re­garding the fate of the ir fruit crops. Although the crop In th a t section was almost In bloom when the severe w eather and b illiard struck a few weeks ago, growers now feel reason­ably safe that what is left will pro­duce. Apples, plums and small fruits seem safe, and it Is stated that a splendidly developed peach will result from the shortage In blooms.

1932 Lingerie Matches Gowns for Chic+ + + + + + + + +

MILADY’S LINGERIE MUST HAVE TAILORED LINES AND DELICATE COLORS, IFSHE IS TO BE ON TOP OF STYLE

BY HARRIETT INGERIE has taken such chic -*-i lines this spring that it some times la hard to distinguish be tween dresses, negligees, pajamas and evening gowns.

The best underclothes take to fitted lines even more snugly than the best dresses and suits. And tha t means tha t they certainly are fitted! Waistlines are observed in their molded forms and many of the new slips and nightgowns have the high-walsted skirt effects and brassiere tops.

There are two types of things th is year tha t are sm art: those tha t use lace and those that don’t — but both follow tailored lines.When lace Is used, It Is treated much like plain crepe or satin, the garments cut tailored.

Except for bridal sets, white lingerie does not head the style color chart for spring. Apricot is much more popular, there is a lot of delicate blue, very suitable un­der the new spring blue BUits, much delicate pink In bluish shades and some green. One smart set uses white crepe with black lace, to give almost a decadent look to Itself.

• « •r \N E of the cute tricks nigbt- " gowns do this year Is to have a little matching bedjacket which, when slipped on. makes an en­semble tha t is quite like a negli­gee in appearance.

Some of the negligees made of the new suede lace. In delectable colors, are cut like street frocks, wrap-around, tying or fastening with crystal buttons on one side.These usually have exaggerated sleeves and may even have a swank bit of a train, just to show they’re negligees.

For real lounging many Ameri­can women insist on pajamas. So spring brings out some charming ones. The trick about these is to have a novelty patterned goods.

Velveteen has its place In the tailored mode. These usually are richly colored, emerald, ruby, am ethyst o r sapphire blue. They are made on tailored lines, usual­ly fitted and cut comfortably

The bridal negligee a t left la of plak satin, with cate puffed sleeves and stripes of Alencon lace down the shoulders. At right is a white crepe nightgown with black net bottom, worn with a s tip e s bed- jacket of crepe and black lace to foralsh a chic ensemble.

One of the cutest new lingerie materials la printed gingham. If yon want pajama suits that you can lounge about the bedroom or go Into the kitchen to get break­fast, with equal poise, then this la a good fabric.

It is a summer when there is

such a world of pretties that no woman should deprive herself of something new In the line of inti­mate apparel. With yard goods so reasonable, -most of these lovely things can oven be made a t home by the woman or girl with a gift for the needle.

NOW EVERYBODY CANCOOK WITH GAS

Gas service for cooking is no longer the exclusive privilege of big city homes. There is a stove made now. known as the Coleman Instant- Gas, that brings real gas service right with it when it comes in the door. It makes and burns Its own gas from any good grade of clean, untreated gasoline. It is really a gas plant and a gas stove, all In one com plete unit. And there are no installation costs, no pipes, no con­nections, no special fixtures to buy. Ju s t the stove and its ready to go the m inute it is delivered.

This stove actually lights right at the burner exactly like natural gas. Just strike a match and turn a valve. Immediately you have a hot blue gas Game on the m aster burner. There is none of the preheating, nor gen­erating- none of the waiting around or complicated directions tha t we have always thought we had to put up with.

The operating economy of the "In- Btant-Gas’’ type of stove Is already well established. Even with the mo­tor fuel that these stoves use, selling as high as 20 cents a gallon, fuel costs for the average family are only about 50 cents a week, often less. The stove is greatly simplified, too, having 5054 fewer working parts.

Housewives In Chatsworth are In­vited to see these new stoves which are now being displayed by Rosen- booni Bros. a28*
