FIFTY YEAR OLD COMPANY
STARTS ADVERTISING BAKING
POWDER IN MILFORD

Mr. Fred Simpkins, stale sales
manager of the KentOn Baking Pow
der Company, was in Milford for a
few days considering the advisa5il-
ity of advertising Snow King Bak-
ing Powder here. At tile time of
leaving he said, Milford has al
ways been a fairly good town for
us; 1 am now convinced that there
are a great many people who would
try Snow King Baking Powder if
we tell them some of its good points
by means of advertising"
Until very recently the company
has not done any advertising al
though they have been making and
selling baking powder for over fifty
years. The sales have grown 10 a
large figure only as people have
told their friends about Snow King.
There are today many whole COM
munities in the South where moth
ing but Snow King Baking Powder
is used.
Although Snow King Baking Pow
der is fully guaranteed to give sat-
isfaction or your money back, the
company mas ueclueu 10 MAKE d
special Introductory offer Of a pie
pan and one-pound can of Snow
King Baking Powder for zoe. This
is being featured in Milford Chron-
icle.
1t is really important that anyone
trying Snow King for the first time
have cook book on hand for the
reason that Snow King has a great
deal more leavening power liability
to make dough rise) than is to be
found in many other baking pow
ders. For this reason, the first ad-
vertisement makes a special point
OF Offering free a beautifully illus
trated 44-page cook book which con-
tains more than 300 baking recipes.

Y bid? Y should undoubtedly bid two
hearts. This type of hand, 4-4-4-1, is
seldom suitable for no-trump, so over
bid your partners no-trump with that
one of the four card suits which offers
the best possibilities In this case, the
heart suit is fairly strong and should be

his opponents may run off FIVE diamonds

The writer has Otter referred to the
charm of the unexpected at auction.
When you think you nave an invincible
hand, bad "Dreak" surprises and dis
concerts you and you only make one or
two odd. On the other hand, the game
has its compensation, for how often
does an apparently worthless hand turn
out to be a big winner! Very often the
one picture card in the hand is lust the
one to make your partners hand in
VinCible, and so turn apparent defeat
to an unexpected victory. "Never say
die" is just as good a motto for auction
bridge as for anything else. Here is a
good example of the hopeless hand
turning out to be a winner. Z dealt and
held the following hand;
Hearts @, ~
Clubs s, Z, 50

Naturally he passed, and probably with
the thought: "Here goes game" His
partner, however, had a most remark
able hand:
Hearts A, J,9,8, 1853
Clubs - none
Diamonds - none
Spades - 4, Q, ], 10, g.,
The bid finally reached five hearts, was
doubled and Is partner redoubicd. lie
just made the bid, losing only one spade
and one heart trick. Is one face card,
the queen Of hcort5, saved the DAY, I'D
Is hand which looked so hopelassrea,ly
contained the element of victory. Never
despair and never give up a rubber un-
til your opponents actually win it. I'm
til they do, there is always hope and
that is what makes auction bridge the
greatest of card games.
In preceding articles the writer has
often referred to the A-4-4-1 type Of
hand and strongly advised an effort to
find suit bid with such a hand, one
that best fits in with the partner 5 hand.

ing that its provisions might be ac-
ceptable. but have reached the de-
cision that it is an empty proposal.
Although the Tincher bill recog-
nizes the surplus problem. yet there
is, in our opinion, only one conceiv-
able way in which any OF the great
surplus" commodities such as
wheat or cotton, could be stabilized
through this machinery-namely: by
securing cooperative action on the
part of substantially all the pro-
ducers Of the commodity.
A wheat association composed Of
all wheat growers or an associa-
ton made up Of all the producers
of swine, dairy products, cotton. or
potatoes, if adequately financed and
property conducted would, we be-
lieye, be capable Of stabilizing the
product. A hundred per cent sign
up is worthy ideal. It is the mil
lennium in cooperative marketing.
Notwithstanding he remarkable
progress made in the organization Of
cooperative associations in recent
years, the percentage Of cotton,
wheat, hogs, potatoes, dairy, and
other products which are handled
comparatively is comparatively small.
1t is obviously hopeless to expect
International., 1926-05-30

relief from a plan that would i'm
pose the burden of stabilizatiOn upon
the comparatively few who compose
these respective cooperating groups.
The mere offer Of financial aid to
enable them to do it is no suffi-
cient inducement and if they decline
to undertake the task, there is no
apparent means Of carrying out the
plan.
During the course of the house
hearing, opponents Of agriculture re-
lief legislation were continually seek
ing a place for compromise, and the
phrase, "Give them federal board"
became a commonplace. The Tincher
bill does just that. The American
farm bureau federation has no dispO-
sition to enter into any such COM
promise.
This organization is not seeking
palliatives and half measures. 1t
demands a wholesome straightfor-
ward provision which will enable
agriculture producers to stabilize
their industry so that they will
receive the benefit OF the American
protective system. We do not be-
grudge the stability and the inde-
pendence of American labor and
industry We demand the same sta
bility and independence for Ameri-
can agriculture.

LEGION HAS 1855 MEMBERS

With 1882 bona fide members
in the thirty nine posts OF The
American Legion in the state Of
Arizona on June %, all previous
membership records in the De
partment have been broken, &C
cording to statement made this
week by Department Adiutant
D. D. Douglas. In 1920. the high
est previous record made in the
membership by the Department,
there were 1922 members in the
state, and the healthy showing
made by the Legion this year is
gratifying to the department of
ficials who have been devoting a
great deal of their time since the
last department convention to
membership problems.
In the department the John HI.
Slaughter post of Springerville
shows the greatest percentage
Of gain, 343 per cent, an increase
from Z to "a members, while the
largest gain in membership by
any single post was made by the
Morgan McDermott post of Tue
son with a gain of 1877 new mem
bers or a percentage of 331,
second only to the smaller post
of Springerville.
The records of the department
of Arizona this year show a gain
of 1914 new members or so per
cent over last years membership
and Arizona now stands third
among the four states in the
Union which have exceeded the
qoutas set for them by the natio
nal organization.
Wyoming is the first among
the states in the Union, Florida is
second, Arizona third and Idaho
fourth. The quota set by the
national organization for Arizona
was 1915, and this figure thus
far has been exceeded by $50
members.
According to information re.
ceived by the Department Ad.
jutant's affice from the posts in
the state, a substantial increase
in membership over the present
total may we'll be expected as re
presentation from the posts to
the Department Convention
which will be held in Bisbee
next month on the Goth. 9th
and 18th. Each post is allowed
two delegates, with one addit
tional for each so or fraction
thereof.
