Listen.. take a tip from me, if you want to know the real meaning of cooking thrift... get an electric range. It costs less to operate an electric range than you may think. Ask a few actual users... you'll find them enthusiastically "nutty" about their electric ranges.

D. A. R. Lauded By State Regent
The regular meeting of the Mother Colony chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, was held at the Pioneer House on North West street Friday afternoon, with Mrs. J. F. Sidebottom and Mrs. Frank Gibbs as hostesses. Mrs. Leo Sheridan gave an interesting review of the National Historical Magazine — the official magazine of the organization.
The theme for the day was "Our Flag." Mrs. Albert Karlen and Mrs. Charles Pearson read excellent papers upon the subject. Mrs. Pearson also told of the origin of the flag salute.
There were many expressions of pleasure concerning the District meeting held here last week. It was gratifying to hear the State Regent, Mrs. Hodge, stress the fact that the Mother Colony chapter is the only chapter in the state that his courage to acquire and maintain a house. The fact that Mother Colony chapter leads all the chapters in the district in making good citizenship awards to the high school girl chosen from the senior class by a joint vote of seniors and faculty each year as best exemplifying the qualities of good citizenship, the choice being based upon dependability, service, leadership and patriotism, was encouraging.
The committee cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce preparing the Armistice day float reported all preparations completed.
The chapter received a cordial invitation from the Bowers Memorial Museum at Santa Ana to attend a special program honoring the descendants of the early Spanish pioneers of the county, to be given next Sunday, in the mus-

Newman Club Plans Dance, Sees Films
"The Lost Special" starring Frank Albertson and Cecelia Parker, and "A Cruise To South America" were the two talking pictures presented at the Newman club meeting last Thursday evening in the projection room of Anaheim union high school.
A display of the prospective club pins was the main business of the meeting. The price of the pins and the club dues are to be combined, it was decided.
"Little Nell," a one act skit, will provide entertainment for the next meeting. Plans for a dance in the near future were also discussed.
Plan Day at Citrus Experiment Station
Every facility at the Citrus Experiment station will be turned over to Orange county growers and residents on December 1, which date has been set aside by the staff to show and explain progress on the various research projects under way.
Dr. L. D. Batchelor, director of the experiment station, extends an invitation to all growers to visit the station and orchard that day and to meet the various staff members in charge of investigations.

THE PAINTED DESERT, ARIZONA—Anyone who has read one of the cooks written by the late Zane Grey should certainly be acquainted with this part of the country. It is the territory he loved best and frequented most often.
Perhaps the greatest descriptive writer of all time, his books on northern Arizona and southern Utah will bring pleasure to readers for countless years to come.
Just why the desert has such an appeal to most people is hard to imagine. The land as a whole is worthless except for the wealth that lies beneath the surface. Here and there a little valley will be cultivated; producing crops of a very mediocre quality if compared with the middle-west. The balance is sand and rock covered with sage and mesquite brush, with a little gazing land to make it not quite a complete failure.
Hundreds of miles and millions of acres, all much the same. However, I have yet to find a person who has spent any appreciable time in the desert that doesn't look forward to going back.
Starting at the New Mexico state line, coming west on highway 66, you begin to gain altitude. The ascent is very gradual and at no time do you feel that you are in the mountains. The road for the most part straight with the towns very far apart. Albuquerque and Gallup being the only places of sufficient size to mention.
From Gallup west it is a different story. A few miles bring you to the Arizona state line and soon after roadside markers begin telling the distance to the Paint Desert. You are now in one of the most scenic sections of the United States, with such outstanding points of interest as Meteor Crater, Grand Canyon and Boulevard dam just downhill the highway.
If your visit to the Paint Desert is on a bright day when the sun is high in the sky, the five mile and less markers will be necessary. So vivid are the colors of the desert that they reflect into the sky creating a hot sight, visible for many miles.
Its bright changing colors are impossible to describe. Artists have worked in vain to transfer to canvas. All in all the best description was a two word one, given by someone who reverently called it—"God's Masterpiece."
In conjunction with the "desert" is the Petrified Forest National monument. Here whole trunks have been transformed into stone and are laying about in the exact position in which they fell.
Like all other national parks area the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest are under the jurisdiction of the department of the interior. Approximately 53,000 acres are contained in the two places.
By all means plan your trip if your visit will be when the sun is high. When the shadows fall over the sand it becomes dull and lifeless. During the day it magnificent.
