Battle Of SANTA ROSA. Nov. 2. Aitl- of the federal government in ef forts to control Lake county's gnat menace was urged by Con gressman Clarence F. Lea on Friday.

Endorsing work of the Cali fornia State Chamber of Commerce's north coast councl toward eliminating the growing gnat menace from the recreational area, Congressman Lea wrote to the United States bureau of entomology at Washington to recommend establishment of a federal experimental station on Clear Lake-to deal with the problem. Lake county citizens recently asked the state chamber to seek federal aid for control of the; gnats, and C. G. Dun woody, con-, servation director of the statewide civic organization, plans going to Washington in December to make a formal presentation of the project. Miss Edith HoUIs attended a Hallowe'en party at the home of Mrs.

George Knowles at Bo-linas last Saturday night. 'if but not enoueh to check con than that of last year at this that area began to show" a much smaller increase over the receipts of the comparable period last year than was shown previously. In fact, in late October receipts at those plants were but very little larger than at1 that time last year, the increase ranging! around 3 to 4 percent, compared to gams of 70 to 90 percent in late July and August, and 10 to 15 percent in September. Supplies of poultry at all points in October were much in excess of current trade requirements, and the increase in stocks of dressed poultry in cold storage continued to be much larger than usual. During the first three weeks of October the increase reported by cold storage warehouses in twenty-six of the most important storage centers amounted to almost 10,000,000 pounds, compared to slightly less than 4,000,000 pounds during the same period last year.

Stocks at these points in late October were almost twice as large as on the same date yast year. Total stocks of dressed poultry iu cold storage on October 1, amounted to 82,076,000 pounds. compared to 39,720,000 pounds on the same date last year and 46,573,000 pounds for the Oc tober 1, 5-year average. A new high record for poultry in stor age on October 1 was established this year. In comparison with preceding years, stocks were large on broilers, fryers and fowl.

The movement of roasting chickens into storage did not begin in quantity until late September, but a fairly large increase in supplies of roasters in cold storage between now and the end of the -year is expected. Prices on poultry in October reflected the heavy marketings of the preceding months and the large stocks in storage, quotations ranging anywhere between and 6 cents less than in October last year. Toward the latter part of the month, a slight firmness developed in the market on both live and fresh killed fowl, and prices advanced 1 to 14 cents. Recent improvement In egg prices and a small de crease in feed prices have slowed up the marketings of fowl in many sections. Considerable attention in the poultry markets is now being paid to the size of the 1936 turl key crop.

All Indications point to a much larger crop than in 1935, private surveys placing the increase at around 14 percent and that of the Bureau of Agri cultural Economics at 33 1-3 percent. So far, the prospective larger crop has had but little effect on prices. A decline of around 1 in October merely followed the usual sea sonal trend of prices in that month. The movement of turkeys, as yet, however, has been relatively light, and the markets haye not been called on to take more turkeys than could be absorbed by current channels of distribution prevailing prices. It is likely that when the heavy marketings for Thanksgiving begin the first part of prices may drop below those of a year earl ier.

In some quarters, however, is thought that the better demand expected this year will offset to Bome extent the influence the larger supplies. The above article was com piled by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Girl (Continued from page 1) of Mr.

nma Taylor and his wife were apparently killed Instantly as they were thrown from Duerson's speeding coupe. Duerson, named by the Buratti girl as the death car driver, suffered a compound fracture of both jaws, a deep laceration of the throat that narrowly missed severing his jugular vein, and other injuries. Miss Buratti suffered a fracture of the right ankle, broken left wrist, shock, bruises and lacerations. Both she and Duerson are under care of Dr. Ernest Vleira at the Hillside hospital in Sebastopol.

JDuerson was ordered held for the- state highway patrol. He faces negligent homicide charges as. result of the double fatality, it was announced by Traffic Officer James C. Shanks and Chief Deputy Sheriff Melvln Flohr, who joined Traffic Officer George Nardi in an investigation of the tragedy. Miss Buratti identified the other young woman as the wife of Taylor.

Duerson was dazed and under 'opiates when questioned and was unable to give a coherent story of the accident or identify his companions. Dr. Vieira said that apparently Duerson was not Under influ ence of liquor although he had made no complete examination when questioned. Shanks, how ever, "said that Duerson had evidently been drinking and that witnesses bad said that the driver had been drinking earlier iu the evening. According to the Buratti girl, the four had been attending a Hallowe'en dance at the Mirabel resort and were en- route to Santa Rosa after leaving the dance about 1:30 when the crash accurred.

AH four were riding in the driver's compartment, as far as could be determined. Patteson and Nardi said skid marks on the highway from Mirabel indicated that the car, a light coupe of popular make, was traveling at terrific speed as it approached the main Guerneville- Forestville road. The car apparently skidded sideways, overturned at least once and hurtled up a 15-foot bank across the highway. Mr. and Mrs.

Taylor were thrown clear of the wrecked car as it again turned over and landed upside down. Both bodies were brought to the Welti funeral parlors here. Taylor has resided in Santa Rosa most of his, life. He was a member of a widely known local family. His wife came, here several years ago from Virginia and has no local relatives, as far as could be determined.

ForLandon WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. (EE) Officials of the U. S. Secret Service prepared today to rush agents from St.

Louis, Denver and Kansas City to Topeka, to take up the duty of protecting the president-elect should Alf Landon be chosen at the pollB tomorrow. The act that grants funds to the Secret Service specifies that the, president, his personal family and "the person chosen to be president of the United States" shall be guarded. However, the final result of the election must be known before a president-elect is given Secret Service guards. In 1916, when Woodrow Wilson appeared defeated until late returns from California proved Charles Evans Hughes was the loser, Hughes received no Secret Service detail. In 1920, neither Harding nor Cox, his democratic opponent, was guarded until the returns virtually were complete.

In 1932, a guard was posted over Mr. Roosevelt the Wednes day following election day. Theo. Roosevelt was the first American president to be closely guarded by the treasury's agents. Reason for the innovation was the assassination of Win.

McKin-ley. Not until 1903, however, did congress provide for this formal protection in the Secret Service appropriation act. In 1915, provision for theaafety the person of the president-elect was also specified. $200,000 Fire Hits Town Of Redding REDDING, Nov. 2.

(U.R) Workmen today began clearing the debris of a $200,000 fire which swept through one store and an apartment house here yesterday. The one of the most disastrous in a decade, started in the basement of the building. It -finally-waa controlled the second floor of the apartment house. ELECTION DAY In the century-and-a-half of this nation's existence, its chief executives have included a few real statesmen, a number of mere politicians, quite a sprinkling of men of not more than average character, but no out and out rogues. Which is a notable record when you consider that the office of the presidency is open alike to rich and poor, to the honest man and the charltan.

The fact would seem to prove that the American public is pretty hard to, fool and perhaps also, that the nobility and dig' nity and responsibility of the Presidency can transform a com parativeiy small man into one of stature. I believe In taking one's poli tics seriously. I like to see any man arguing, red-faced and trembling with conviction, as he tries to make a convert to his particular faith. It is only by taking our elections to heart and by trying earnestly to see that the best man is put each office from President to dog-' catcher, that we can make truly popular government endure. But this consoling thought can be taken to the polls Tuesday by every man: The history of our nation shows that under EVERY.

President, no matter what his politics, we stride steadily forward to an ever-higher standard of living, to an increased leisure and most important of all to afbetter and sounder knowledge of how to use that leisure.

Stocks of eggs in storage are less than those of year earlier, and also the year average, which means a cur rent total supply less than in October last year. Producers still find the egg feed ratio unfavor able in comparison with the sit uation of a year ago, or the 5 year average, but the advance in egg prices and the slight decline in feed prices during October im lation.

In some extent, this re lation. In some areas producers are feeding more liberally than a few weeks ago. Mild weather proved, to some extent, this re has been an important factor in orrsettlng the effects of higher feed prices, farm flocks being aDie to ootain considerable feed from renewed veeetatiTin Receipts of eggs at the leading marKets in October showed greater decrease under those" of a year earlier than that regis tered in September. Arrivals from the middle west were particularly light in comparison with preced ing years, reflecting not only a smaller production but also slighter movement of storage eggs from that area to eastern mar kets. Consumption at interior points is said to have been better than for any October in the past several Tears.

Arrivals at east em markets from the Pacific Coast were moderately heavy Commercial flocks on the west coast are considerably larger this year than last, while production conditions this fall have been uniformly favorable with the ex ception of the higher feed prices Reports of weekly collection by packing plants located in the Pa cific coast states indicate that the low point in production" tbf the current season has possibly been reached and that within the next few weeks an increase lh" the supplies of larger eggs from that section can be expected. Produc tion In the middle west, however, will likely continue to de cline until the latter part qf No vember. Eggs in storage on October 1, this year, amounted to 5,817,000 cases, according to the U- S. De partment of a (de crease of. approximately" 500,000 ases from supplies in storage on October 1, last year, and about 800,000 cases from the October 1, 5-year average.

Frozen eggs in storage on the same date amounted to 96,628,000 pounds, last year 98,653,000 pounds and the 5-year average 95,855,000 pounds. Reduction in stocks, of eggs in cold storage during Sep tember was somewhat larger than a year earlier, the combined re duction of frozen and shell eggs, on a shell egg equivalent basis, amounting to 1,531,000 cases, compared to 1,418,000 cases in September last year, and 000 cases for the September 5- year average. Egg prices the latter part of October were still mostly under those of a year earlier, with the exception of storage eggs. Quo tations on Pacific coast whites were about 2 to 3 cents less than a year earlier, and nearby east ern whites 6 to 7 cents less. Mid die western mixed colors were about the same.

At the present moment, it appears that prices might work irregularly higher before the usual seasonal decline begins in November. The weakness in the poultry markets which has been noticeable for the past two months carried over into October. Receipts of dressed poultry at terminal markets continued large, reflecting the heavy marketings of poultry in the middle west which have been Under way since late summer. There was. however, a little evidence of such marketings slowing up the latter part of October, as receipts of live poultry at packing plants in BUY-RITE and FAY-LESS HERE with Arata's Cut Rate Drug Store 171 Main Ht.
