G. Holt of the United States Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. The enormous production of this universally used article is shown in the following "believe it or not" statements transmitted by the domestic commerce official in a report to the American Chemical Society: "If this entire acreage were stretched in an even band around the earth's surface at the equator it would be nearly half a mile wide." "The total world production of rubber last year, 860,000 tons, if made into a Increase of 6 Per Cent In California Over Last Year Breaking all previous records, California registered 1,968,012 motor vehicles for the first 6 months this year, according to Frank G. Snook, chief of the Division of Motor Vehicles. The total figure represents a gain of 6 per cent over the same period last year. And the fact that passenger cars alone increased more than 90,000 is seen as another sign of prosperity in the state. Including vehicles exempt from fees (such as state, county and public service corporation automobiles and trucks) the grand total would be over the two-million mark. Fee-paid registrations in Orange county for the 6-month period were as follows: Passenger cars, 44,868; solid-tired trucks, 169; pneumatic-tired trucks, 2002; motorcycles, 194; solid-tired trailers, 685; and pneumatic-tired trailers, 993. The 58 counties of California and the State Highway Commission will divide a juicy "melon," when the $6,000,000 in fees from the sale of license plates is apportioned. Under the law, the counties and the Highway commission will split these fees on a "50-50" basis for expenditure on the state highway system. The amount apportioned represents all collections after expenses of operating the Motor Vehicle Division and the California Highway Patrol are deducted. Los Angeles county, as usual, accounted for more than one-third of all registrations in California. Total registrations for the state showed: Passenger cars, 1,830,096; solid-tired trucks, 14,539; pneumatic-tired trucks, 73,853; motorcycles, 8,182; solid-tired trailers, 8,821; and pneumatic-tired trailers, 32,521. 1931 Conference Farm Bureau leaders and national executives have selected California as their place of conference for 1931, and a similar training school to the one recently held in Salt Lake City will be attended by the eleven states that comprise the Western Region. New Insecticide Finding retenone, a new insecticide, superior to materials now generally used for insect control, the United States Department of Agriculture is urging the Malay states to grow rotenone-bearing plants on a commercial scale for the American trade. This new incesticide is found in quantities up to 7 per cent in the roots of the South American "cube" plant (pronounced coo'bay), up to 5.5 per cent in Derris roots, and to a lesser extent in three other plants. The "cube" now grows in a part of South America where the climate is similar to that of the Malay states and surrounding countries. R. C. Roark, insecticide specialist of the Department of Agriculture, advances the theory that Derris plants containing greater quantities of rotenone might be derived by careful selec- tion and breeding. He points out that cube roots are not yet available commercially. Tests by the Department of Agriculture indicate that rotenone is highly poisonous to both sucking and chewing insects. In tests conducted privately, rotenone was fed to dog, cats, sheep, and chickens in quantities up to 1 grain per pound of body weight and no injury was noticeable.

But France has never got over her grouch over the sending of two million American soldiers to the Western front. Just imagine how sore France would have got if we had sent four million and cancelled al ithe debt. A statue to President Buchanan has been dedicated in Washington. That statue should have had the inscription "He was too proud to fight" on one side of it and "He kept us out of war" on the other. 666 Believes a Headache or Neuralgia in 30 minutes, checks a Cold the first day, and checks Malaria in three days. 666 also in Tablets.

NOT SINCE GREAT-GRANDMOTHER SELECTED HER FIRST STOVE Not since that day has a homemaker had an opportunity to take such a step forward as is offered now in these two great groups of entirely new, Entirely Automatic Electric Ranges. Electrical cookery is not new. But these Electric Ranges are very new... so far advanced, so refined and perfected, so superior in their automatic operation, that they make incomplete anything that you may have learned about electric cookery prior to this year. Not the least surprising feature is the remarkably low price... far less than you ever have expected to pay for an Electric Range. And the terms are delightfully easy. A very modest down payment places your new Electric Range in your kitchen, ready to use. Your present range reduces the balance to a moderate amount that is divided into convenient monthly payments. Come in how and see the range that you will eventually own. If More Convenient, JUST MAIL THIS COUPON Southern California Edison Co. Ltd. Los Angeles, California. Please tell me all about the new Entirely Automatic Electric Ranges. Also kindly explain the special low combination rate which will reduce all my electric bills when I own an Electric Range.
