********** * *
An execeptionally good statewide I
extension conference in Tucson
during the first week of January
will provide the inspiration for j
much good county extension work [
throughout the year. The lectures i
or population trends by O. E. Raker
fviim the Department of Agriculture j
at Washington high-lighted the con
fer ence. At the present time
census . returns show that city
populations are reproducing them
selves only one half, and constantly
draw upon rural areas for mainten
ance and growth. He emphasized,
therefore, the importance of pro
viding rural youth with the train
ing and stimulus that will insure
fine rural homes for tomorrow's,
families.
Current extension activities for
women in Pinal County just now
embrace in one way or another all
of Casa Grande Valley. Mrs. Mar
gnrot Watson, specialist in clothing
and home furnishings, will be at
wcrk in the county for eleven and
one half days this month. At the
present time there have been held
initial sessions of a knitting! school
in Coolidge, a lampshade school
in La Palma, and schools for re
finishing furniture and for sewing
techniques in wool in Casa Grande.
In addition the Eloy homemakers
will sponsor a general meeting deal
ing with blanket and comfort pro
tectors and bedspreads, a Florence
Sewing Machine Clinic will provide
an opportunity for learning and ad
justing sewing machines and Mrs.
Watson will conduct a round table
on 4-H Clothing problems at the
4-H leader’s meeting on January 23.
Every member of the La Palma
group is learning to design and
make a lamp shade. The inex
pensive shade for the farm home is.
rather often made over an old
frame is right in size for the lamp
with which it is to be used, and
that both are in harmony with the
interior. Large* floor lamps with
large shades are not as pleasing
in small homes as the bridge lamp
type.
If the source of light be kerosene,
which from the standpoint of the
oculist gives the best light of all
for the eyes, the two circular clips
«ieant to clasp the bulb must be
cut and reshaped so that they may
be inserted in the top of the lamp
flue, or an accessory support must
be made.
Ornate silk lamp shades are ,
suited only to a background of ,
oriental rugs and silken hangings.
In general, simple designs and
materials are better suited to the
farm home. Parchment shades can
be designed to suit any background.
It is possible to make very satis
factory parchment shades from
brown wrapping paper on which
boiled linseed oil has been applied.
Cheese cloth may be used for a
backing and adds durability.
An interesting note gleaned from
the agent’s conferences with the
iesident university home econ
cmjsts has to do with preventing
racidity of fats by storing fatty
food products in red or green or
opaque containers. Green glass
containers for butter and other fats
in the refrigerator, and red cello
phane wrappings for cookies are
good logic. An earthenware cookie
jar is better than glass and salad
oil keeps better in tin cans than in
glass bottles. Blue glass, or color
less glass, on the contrary, invile
racidity.
Mid-winter temperatures in Pinai
County permit the use of delayed
baking receipes, even if the house
wife has only a kitchen window
storage box. Investigations show
that ordinary biscuit dough made
rp into biscuits and given a.
thorough chilling before baking
are improved by the process. Then
tl ere is that favorite receipe for
breakfast cookies made by slicing
a chilled roll of cookie dough and ,
baking with the extra heat neces
sary to warm the kitchen.
Butter Scotch Ice Box Cookies
1 c. melted butter
4 c. brown sugar
4 eggs well beaten

THE PAPER A FIXTURE
Before Thanksgiving progressive food stores of the country carried
on an aggressive turkey sales campaign. More, turkeys were sold than>
ever before, and at prices that were attractive to customers as well as
producers.
Sales methods varied somewhat in differene localities but the par
ticipating stores seemed to appreciate the value and necessity of news
t paper advertising. For example, here is an excerpt from the report of one
large chain system:
“Newspaper advertising was carried in all principal metropolitan
j and rural newspapers in our territory. . . Before our Thangsgiving de
mands had been filled there was a decided scarcity of turkeys in the top
i grade in our market.”
Another chain reported:
“We have advertised turkeys in approximately 250 newspapers this
! year, as well as 750,000 circulars which were distributed to the consum
ing public’s homes. Present indications are that we sold about 30 per
cent more turkeys for Thanksgiving this year than a year ago.”
Newspapers have been a potent factor in other food sales campaigns
—such as the recent beef and veal drive. Similar future campaigns—of
which the first will feature grapefruit are planned.
It is apparent that this is good business all around —for the farmer,
the merchant, the newspaper and for the consumer. In the past, some
retailers have attempted to eliminate newspaper advertising—and they
have usually found that it was the poorest kind of economy. “The paper”
—whether it be a daily or weekly—is a fixture of the American home
and finds an eager audience.
Food stores—chain or independent—which have not yet joined in
special selling campaigns, would do well to take a leaf fr-'m the book of
the stores which hav.e. Pay the farmer a fair price, charge the con
sumer a fair price, advertise extensively—and consumption of com
modities soars. —Industrial News Service.
No doubt uninformed outsiders would expect a town Located at such
an altitude as this to be well equipped for the housing of motor vehicles.
The fact is that but few of the homes are equipped with private garages.
Cars are left at the curbs, on the streets, anywhere, throughout the
severity of the winter months and rainy season of summer. All of which,
among other things, goes to prove that there are worse climates than
this, where the elevation is about 7,000 feet above sea level—The Round
Valley (Springerville) Press. 1
The above recalls how the country newspapers used
to critcise farmers who left their plows in the field between
crop. The plows, then, cost not more than $6.50. Now it isj
the custom of owners to leave SI,OOO to $1,500 automobiles
standing out in all kinds of weather, subject to all kinds of 1
depredations.

Penny Pitchers Had
Tough Time In Old
Days, Wells Says
I
Illegal and punishable by law “to
steal anything from a neighbor with
; out that neighbor’s consent or to
pitch pennies or plav marbles for
‘keeps’ ” —and a criminal offense
I “for any person, male or female, |
brown or white, married or single
or any derivation or degree thereof
to wade, paddle, swim, dive or
duck into the water of any irriga
tion ditch within the city limits.”!
Thus did the first mayor of El

greatest cities, the history and at

“El Paso is a metropolis of sun
shine and health,” says the inter
nationally known explorer, “since
it can boast of 331 days of sunshine
annually and a health-giving alti
tude of 4,000 feet. It is a land of
January shirt-sleeve golf. Yet, with
in a three-hour drive to the snow
blanketed timberland of the high
Sacramentoes at Cloud croft, you
can use your ski, toboggans and j
I snowshoes.”
Furthermore, Wells declares, El t
Paso serves as excellent headquart
ers for side trips to nearby Carlsbad j
Cavern, White Sands at Alamogor ;

Socorro east of El Paso, the re
markable salt lakes known as

Apache County
To Cut Interest
In referring to the matter of the
special meeting of the board of
j supervisors, this week, to receive
i bids for the purchase of $165,000
i negotiable cupon refunding bonds
of Apache county, the St. Johns
Observer stated:
“Byron F. Hunter said the pur
chase of the bonds entails an enor
mous transaction in which out
, standing road bonds of the county
jwill be purchased and resold at a
lower rate of interest. Interest on
outstanding bonds has been 6 per
cent and with the transaction the
rate of interest will be reduced to
about 4 per cent, he said, with a
big saving yearly in interest.
“Apache county has been pay
ing the large sum of $10,500 inte
rest yearly on road bonds, and
Hunter deported that during the
past years the paid interest has
equaled the total sum of the bonds
of $165,000. —Round Valley Press
