And you never serve ii fresh. 1t is
always canned, you understand, al
ways canned.
Now, why in the name Of common
sense do you take the fine, fresh ar
ticle, you know, can it, and offer it
to people to eat, when they might bet
ter eat it in its pristine condition
You see what I mean? En-? But no,
all the year round, they serve you
canned corn, canned corn. Can they
can it cheaper than they can cook it
fresh? Is that it? Eh?"

OF the federal bunch are said to have de-
