GENEROUS "BILL" KETTNER

Congressman "Bilr' Kettner of
California has an unconscious habit of
standing with palms open, upward. and
arms slightly outstretched. as If he
we're about to hand somebody some
thing. The pose is natural conse-
quence of Kettner's disposition. He
is such q generous chap that he rarely
let's day go by without making some
friend present of something or other.
This present may be merely q good
cigar. but usually it is some high
grade product of southern California
"a can of ripe olives, bottle of Cali
fornia wine, or box Of oranges. He
seems to feel that even the most
casual conversation is incomplete un-
til he has said: -
Wait a moment. I've got some
thing here / want to give you"
For many years Kettner was the
foremost insurance nuisance of San

WOMAN FARM EXPERT

Down in Georgia the department
of agriculture has found a young wom-
an who knows more about scientific
farming than most men know. and
who also knows how to impart her
knowledge. Therefore the department
has appointed her farm demonstrator
in the South, and she is now engaged
in showing the young men and women
of that part of the country how to
make farming profitable and pleasant.
Miss Hoyl Skinner-for that is her
name-believes she can do much to
check the migration of young people
from the country to the city One
of her specialties is poultry raising.
and she thinks this industry can be
largely developed in the South. She
also knows a lot about canning. and
hopes to teach 1t to the boys If they
can be induced to abandon the idea
that it is too feminine an occupation.
With attractiveness and energy added
to her knowledge and skill, Miss Skin

tion was held at the residence of Mrs
