might he called to the increasing importance of dairying in the United States. Dairying as a source of the nations food supply is strikingly brought out in a study just completed by T. R. Pirtle of the Department of Agriculture. According to this report the per capita consumption of milk and cream has increased about twelve per cent during the past ten years, and the per capita consumption of butter has increased more than six per cent.

Farm consumption of miik and butter has increased on the average; in fact, the farm consumption of butter has increased to more than double the average for the United States. Working men generally are beginning to realize that milk is an essential extra value food, and today we find a bottle of milk forming a component part of the workmans lunch. Bottles of milk are in large demand in, the motion picture studios in' the south. Mary Philbin, a Universal star, said recently: When night scenes are made, it is noticeable that shortly after midnight, bottles of milk appear throughout the set. Actors have found that coffee, while stimulating, does not have the lasting tonic effect of milk.

Nature has created a 'combination tonic and food $hich is more generally recognized today than in the pastu Kern Countys dairying development will be enhanced materially by the value of the market in southern California, where hundreds of thousands are flocking each year, and acreage heretofore, devoted to -dairying and agriculture has been subdivided to provide ELECTRIC POWER IS KEY TO PROSPERITY 'LABOR FIGURES PROVE, SAYS WESTING-HOUSE HEAD Human intelligence today- knows of no better means for increasing the prosperity otthe American nation and the American people than a continuation of electrical development along our present lines, according to Brigadier General Guy E. Tripp, chairman of the West-inghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. When something better does appear, he said, fit will be our duty to work for it even at personal cost to but. in the mean time we enthusiastic proponent of government ownership of the electrical utilities. 1 Sixty-five per cent of her total installed capacity of public service electric generators and 66 per cent of her electric railways mileage are now municipally owned.

I One would expect tbe Lloyd George committee to take for granted government ownership and operation of the great electrical system- it has recommended; but, on the contraryv it condemns government operation in the strongest language it can use with propriety. The arguments for government ownership, continued General Tripp, can- be easily- demolished from a logical standpoint, but logic is not what supports the case lor public ownership; it, is really founded upon apprehension a fear that such a great pnblic national service in the hands of private capital would ac-. quire so great a power that it cannot ber prevented from expldUing the public by means, and ways impossible to control. The way to allay this apprehension and to, prevent possibilities of public exploitation is to further develop our system of regulating public service corporations, which has so far proved sound and, which can be extended to prevent any objectionable practices that may still continue, or be devised in the future. In- this way, "both rapid and efficient electrical development and the protection of the public are assured.

RETIRED TEACHER OF TAFT DROPS DEAD MIDWAY A. TO MEET WEDNESDAY xx: to TAFT, Nov. 7. James H'. Day, aged I 70, dropped dead on Center Street to- day, presumably from heart trouble.

Deputy Coroner. C- W. Witherow' an-1 nounced that an inquest would be held tomorrow morning at 9:30 at the Taft! Undertaking Parlors in charge of 1 Coroner N. C. Houze.

C. Mr, Day was a native of Alabama and had resided in this district for ten years. He was a retired school teacher. He is survived by a brother, H. A.

Day, of this city, and three sisters, one in Lemoore and two In Texas. Following -the Inquest, the body will be shipped to Dallas, Texas, for burial. ANOTHER TYPE OF BROTHERHOOD COMMUNITIES today are no longer self-contained, and no4 city or town can long survive without the good will of its neighbors. We must all pull together if the county and state is to grow, and the growth of individual communities cannot help but be reflected in increased activity in other-vommunities. The Bakersfield Exchange Club has had much to do with the development of the community spirit, in Kern County, and it is to be hoped that the meetings inaugurated by them during the fate summer and early fall months, will be continued.

There should be a continuous round of visits. There is no better way to get acquainted with a family than in its own home; neither is there any better way for communities to become acquainted than by constant visits and through heart-to-heart talks concerning each others needs, ocular, demonstrations of growth, visible and oral expressions of mutual interest. The communities in Kern County are all growing and will continue to grow, and as each one grows, its prosperity and progress will be reflected throughout the' county. Boost for your own community, of course, but also have a favorable word to say for the community a few miles, away. Telh the stranger-in-our-midsf the good things about the county as a whole, and then lets band together and eliminate those which need elimination, aid in those which need development, exploit those that need advertising and publicity.

FELLOWS, Nov. 7 The Midway A. will holJ its regular meeting Wednesday, November 12, in the Midway School auditorium at JL30; Mrs. F. president of tbe- Hern County Fedeiation, will be present, and also Mr.

Kofahl, asks all members to be present, all mothers who are not members and anyone who is Interested in child welfare as she wishes the Midway, asso- ciation to be the banner association in the county.

NEW COMPANY WILL DRILL ON WEST SIDE TAFT, Nov. 7. A new. concern in the West Side oil fiblds is tbe St. Anthony Oil Company, which- has Announced its intention cf dnllmg: a well jon section 10, 11-24 in tbe Sunset district.

The well is in a wildcat area, but other companies hae also started to exploit the district: appear oo GaUmElWE the right COMPARES! MAN-POWER General Tripp based his opinion as to the relation of prosperity and electrical development on 1 a study of wages and, power per workman throughout world. Thus, the wages of thq average American workman is abouj two and a Quarter times' the wages the average British Workman, but the American has over twice the mechanical power at his disposal. This same proportion of wages to power per capita holds throughout thef world. Present plans of electrical industry, said General Tripp: call for the development of large superpower systems which will supply, the maximum amount of electric power to-the. largest number of people at -the lowest cost Hence, it seems probable that maximum will result from this development.

These views are corroborated, Gen eral Tripp pointed ouL by the findings of a British committee of engineers and men in public life under the chairmanship of Lloyd George, which has been studying means for solving some of Great Britains economic problems and especially her serious unemployment situation. This committee recommends." said General Tripp, Great Britain begin at once the development of a. nationwide electrical system, based on plans similar to those we are following in the United States, and states as its confident belief that such a development will bring about revolutionary Improvements in the affairs of both the. British nation and the British people as individuals. REPORT IS- SURPRISE There is a real surprise in the Lloyd George report, continued the General, and that is its recommendations aB regards government ownership of the proposed national electric system.

Great Britain has always been regarded In this country as an Herman charged with operating -Acreamery without a license, yeterday pleaded not guilty in Judge Jones court and his case was set for November 15.

They were given 130 day sentences in the county jail and the sentences were suspended on condition that they leave the city immediately.

It will be in the nature of an all-day ses- sion and at noon the lnncheon will be served by the Rebekah Social Club of Taft. Mr.

McRuer, Mr. Bowman and Mr. Joyce will speak at the luncheon and in the afternoon a musical program) will be given. CONGRESSIONAL UNFINISHED BUSINESS THE message of President Coglidge to Congress next month will undoubtedly deal very largely with what might be called unfinished business for, as everybody knows, Congress did give attention to all hi3 recommendations submitted at the last session. This was due in part to the coalition that existed between a few so-called pendent Republicans and the Some of the Presidents recommendations were entirely ignored, and others were defeated by obstructive tactics.

recent election may give the recalcitrants in Congress, at least those elected as Republicans, an intimation that the people are behind the Chief Executive, and they may grant his suggestions far more consideration than if the presidential race had not been sudh an overwhelming evidence of the confidence of the people in his administration.
