VALLEY
POOLFAVORED
Decision Reached At
Meeting in Merce-
des Wednesday

MERCEDES, Oct. 21.-valley-wide
commodity pools will be formed by
The various units Of the Rio Grande
Valley Vegetable Growers Associa-
tion during the marketing season,
according 10 a decision reached at a
meeting Of the Valley Exchange. the
central body of the organization,
bere Wednesday afternoon.
IL was the unanimous verdict of
the exchange that Valley-wide pools
would be preferable 10 local pools,
rs IL would assure more equable re-
turns TO all growers. The pools will
be formed upon a time basis and will
affect only those units entering the
pool.
While no definite action was tax
en- regarding the time the pools
would be operated, il is understood
that weekly pools will be formed to
handle cabbage and probably semi
weekly pools for potatoes. Pools for
all commodities viii be worked out
upon q time basis that would prove
most equable to all growers con-
cerned. it was stated.
The accounting system to be adopt
ed by the various units and the ex-
change was also discussed, and II
was decided TO use standard forms,
and complete records viii be kept
by each unit. All disbursements from
a Valley wide pool will be made to
the growers through their local units.
Members Of the exchange re-
ported that the various units were
greatly interested in the pooling
plan, and that the recommendation
OF the exchange that the V~alley-wide
pool system be adopted had met gem
eral approval.
Al the next weekly meeting of
the exchange the time basis for
pools of the various commodities
will be worked out so far as possible.
Announcement was made that the
organization will endeavor to handle
most of the production through
mixed cars. This will not interfere
with the commodity pools, it was
stated, and is expected TO result IN
better returns TO the growers OF the
leading commodities such as po-
tatoes, cabbage, beets and carrots.

wrongs. Then she said: "The low
hound dog" with great venom, and
seemed TO feel better.

asked Sally. "0ur fathers coming
home tonight. You know mother
wired him about Mile, and he'll be
here at 10 o'clock. Mother wanted

Mabel repeated with great scorn,
"How well Beau's getting alongl I'd

or notl If he's getting along well

was full of wise cracks.
Bit by bit Sally got the whole story
from her. She had bought herself a
fall hat instead Of keeping the $40
that it cost for the household ex-
penses.
So there had been no meat for
supper. And when Beau had found
il out, he had flung himself out Of
the little honeymoon flat. telling her
that he'd 60 and buy himself a de-
cent meal somewhere else.
"H-he told me ! could sit here and
eat bread and potatoes by myself"
blubbered Mabel, unhappily. "And
hes ought TO be ashamed of himself.
Oh, Sally, there's just no use in our
trying to have a home Of our own,
any more, IL takes every nickel we
earn. You'll just have to let US come
and live with you'll You can tuck us

She laid her hands on the white
enamel table top before her. The
nails were vanished a bright coral
pink and they were long and pointed
all except one. That had been
broken off. and there was a large
blister on one thumb.

Beau Jerome? Why did IL"
She was Despair personified, as she
sat there at the table in her sloppy
clothes, her lips drawn down, her
eyes watery with tears. and her
breath coming in little sobbing gasps.
Sally's warm, generous heart was
filled with pity for her. She seemed
so woe-begone and helpless and in
capable of facing the hard tasks Of
life. A broken finger nail was a
tagedy for her. A new hat every few
weeks was an absolute necessity to
her.
Sally saw Il all. and she went on
patting her shoulders with one Of
her hands that had known many
a broken nail and blister-that could
WELD a broom as deftly as they could
tap a typewriter.

lips when the front door opened and

Comparative costs for B. battery
current are interesting and helpful to
the man who desires to keep close
check on expenses.
1t is not usually appreciated by
radio owners that the comparison
must be between three different
sources of "B" current Invariably
he thinks of dry battery operation or
"B" eliminator, overlooking entirely
"B" cell batteries, which can be re-
charged.
Various types differ in cost, of
course. And it is not to be overlooked
that batteries last longer with one set
than with another or longer, perhaps,
with one set operator than with an
other. But a rough comparison may
be helpful.
If four 45-volt heavy duty dry cells
last year and cost $40, the monthly
expense for "B" current is approx
mately $166, exclusive of interest on
investment. The total monthly cost
for ''B" cell current supply, that lasts
three years and costs $36 as equip.
ment. has been figured at $1.33 a
month, including interest on invest
ment and cost of current for recharg-
ing.
A b. battery eliminator. assuming
it lasts three years without need for
repairs or requirements, costs S1.25 a
month Gf the list price is $45), plus %
cents for interest, plus approximately

80 cents a month for current, or a
total of S1.78 a month.
Figures are based upon four.hour
daily operation of the set. 1t must be
remembered that with the dry bat.

There are the pros and cons. They
illustrate that even in radio the law
of compensation is busily engaged in
its usual way.
There was decided improvement
in broadcast reception last night over
he preceding night. despite the chang

:trength was sufficient to overcome
the interference caused by occasional
outbursts of static. but fading seemed
to be more prevalent than usual, es-
necially among the stations in the

S chronic ailment of fading, CNRO,

clearly periodically. From WIZ. New
