“The House That Quality Built”
Senator Analyses
Labor Report
During the recent discussion
about unemployment in the United
States, the Labor Department thru
Secretary of Labor James J. Davis
alleged that there was in the United
States approximately 1,874,000 un
employed. Said the Secretary, "Bv
most careful computation methods
available, Commissioner Stewart
' finds that the actual number now
out of work is 1,874,050.”
Senator Henrik Shipstead analyz
ed the report and pointed out the
fact that the report of Mr. Stewart
to the Secretary said that the
shrinkage in unemployment since
1925 had been 7.43 per cent, or
1,874,060.
The Senator digging up some real
facts showed that more people were
employed in 1920 than at any other
time in the history of the United
State. From this “peak” of 1920
to 1924 there was a shrinkage of
4,237,420, wage earners of 16.8 per
vent. From 1923 to 1925 there was
further shrinkage of 8.8 per cent
or 2,219,600 wage earners. From
1925 down to January of 1928,
7.43 per cent shrinkage or 1,874
050 wage earners. “So the total
shrinkage from 1920 ‘peak’ down
to 1928, as officially reported by
the Department of Labor, is ap
proximately 32.6 per cent, or 8,
331,000 wage earners.” i

Buy A Home
IN SUNNY CALIFORNIA
A 10-ACRE ORCHARD IN RAMONA ACRES
(Planted to almonds, vines or used for raising chickens or turkeys)
WILL INSURE INDEPENDENCE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
WHEN two so widely different men as Ignace Jan Paderewski, world
famed pianist and Polish patriot, and William Randolph Hearst the
publisher, with the world to pick from, both selected the Paso
Robles district as the site for their homes and “ranchos” * * * that
is proof that nowhere i3 living more attractive and pleasant than on
the coast of California.
RAMONA ACRES is located near Paso Robles, in the heart of the
prosperous Almond and Grape district, midway between San Fran
cisco and Los Angele3. Both cities are easily accessible by fine con
crete highways or Southern Pacific trains.
GOOD INCOME FROM ALMONDS
In the Paso Robles vicinity are
thousands of acres planted in al
monds of the finest variety. The
soil Is perfect. When in full bear
ing, almond trees will return an
approximate crop of 30 lb. per
tree and around $250 per acre per
year. Other crops accordingly.
The industry is growing; it is
highly organized, with strong sell
ing connections. Almonds are
easy to handle ,the crop is non
perishable. and offers a steady in
come. 1
Another fine-paying crop is
wine grapes which have in the
last several years sold for record
prices, from $80 to $100 per ton.
Still another profitable local ac
tivity is the raising of poultry.
Those interested in this industry
claim that 1000 producing hens
will earn $2000 a year. Turkeys
will return even larger incomes.
Feed is cheap and easy to raise,
climate mild and markets readily
accessible.
So rich is the soil that other
crops thrive in the Paso Robles
district * * * such as prunes,
plums, pears and apples for all
of which the market is constant
ly growing.
NO IRRIGATION NEEDED
RAMONA ACRES is about 17
miles east of Paso Robles, on
gently rolling land. Natural
drainage and moderate rainfall
make irrigation unnecessary. Thu3
labor is reduced and better crops
produced.
YOUR IDEAL HOME
Hundreds of families are living
well here and leading happy,
healthful outdoor lives. You can
do the same. A 10-acre orchard
or farm in almonds, grapes or
other fruit, or poultry will be
sufficient to support you and your
family in comfort and financial
independence. This is indeed a
Golden opportunity, for you may
purchase your home of 10 or more
acres on very easy terms if you
so desire.

A Gose Shave
Little Juanita Adams received a
very bad gash on the forehead last
Saturday when she ran into an ax
Deing swung by her brother Johnny.
A timely call by John Hansen caus
ed the little one to avert her face
so that the ax grazed the head but
cutting right to the skull. But for
the call the ax might have landed
with full force squarely upon the
top of the little one’s head. Dr.
Standard gave first aid and the
little one is getting around nicely
now. i
