Judge Hays of Sterling was in Ray

Buyers generally seem to feel afaid to

The speculator often reaps a better
harvest than the grower. Some day
the government is going to find safe
and sane way to aid the grower in
holding his crop for the best market.

that was said would not look well in
print, and moving picture exhibit
of what took place would rival the
Johnson Willard mill. but that also is
