dream as far as the consumer In
concerned. substantial reductions are
made In practically all lines In the

his once force have suficicnt to do
without taking an active part in this

other agencies.
Mr.. Olsen devotes much OF his
time 10 the irrigation district work
nj this time and is really very busy.
The ONCE work again being conduct
