Finally the orchestra started
and the curtain went UP. It was
q lovely performance and a. we
walked out OF the theater. Bobby
called my attention to q picture
in the lobby and said:
Look, Foxy Grandpal Look at
the strange creature. He has
the body Of goat, the face Of a
man and horns. Look at that
strange instrument he ia playing.

"I'll tell you," I replied.
We left the theater and when
we got out of the crowd I told
Bobby this story:
"Pan was one Of the mythclog-
ical gods Of Greece. He was
thought to be the son Of Mercury
and nymph Of Arcadia.
Now Pan lived in the woods
and was the god Of shepherds
and the, patron Of fishing and
towing"
Sportsman Bobby exclaimed.
"I would have liked him II he
was fond Of fishing"
I laughed at my little fisher

"There was at this time . beau.

ture. He made her 30 miserable
that she begged the nymphs to
help her and change her into
reeds.
"This the nymphs did, and the
beautiful Syrinx was changed
into singing reeds.
when Pan heard this he felt
very badly and went to look at
the reeds. He cut some off END

brance. He held them to his lips
and found that wnen he blew into
them they made the most melo-
dious sounds. So Pan fashioned
a rustic pipe out Of the reeds and
made music for the gods"
THAT was the instrument Pan
was playing in the picture" ex-
claimed Bobby.

famous for one thing which he
did.
What was TT" asked Bobby.
''It was this" I answered. "The
Gauls. under the leadership Of
their king, Brennus, invaded

to enter, the temple Of Apollo at

LOVELY PINTO BEAN
COMES INTOITS OWN

Advertising the Colorado pinto bean
to the 60 million people above the
Mason Dixon line who have never
heard of the variety was urged as a
means of increasing the demand in
measure with the increasing pro
duction, by Joseph Passonneau, state
director of markets speaking in Linn
on this week.
"The pinto bean acreage has in
creased 125 per cent in Colorado in
three years" said Mr.. Passonneau.
land will undoubtedly increase an
other 40 per cent this season. With
prices now so per cent lower than at
a carry-over from last years crop, the
price prospect is exceedingly gloomy
unless some means is found for in
creasing the consumption.
THE Colorado bean grower can,
however, place himself in a position
to extend his market with unusual eff
fectiveness next year. He can do it
through the right type of a co-opera-
tive marketing association. Nothing
but a strong association can take care
of the increased supply. The bean
growers of the state must educate,
through such an association, the so
million people who do not know pinto
beans"
Mr.. Passonneau pointed out that the
handling of pintos on a cooperative
basis would be simple, because of the
fact that the Colorado-New Mexico
crops dominate the market, while
Colorado last year raised rs per cent
of the nations supply of the beans.
The only competitor of the pinto is
the California pink bean and Michigan
white beans.
