the hours of 9 and 10.
There is little doubt every radio
fan has heard the A. & p. Gypies.
Behind this organization of talented
musicians lies story of real interest.
Shortly after the close of the
world war. a young man appeared
at the offices of the American
consul in Constantinople and asked
if he could obtain information con.
corning his parents.
To a group of interested auditors
he uufolded an amazing tale OF
adventure and privation. It seems
that upon the outbreak of the
war. he had enlisted in the. Rus.
sian army and for three and one-half
years WAS engaged in action on the
Russian front. Then came the Rus
sian upl1eavel and his capture by
the Bolsheviks as a soldier of. the
Gar.
At this point in his story, the
young man paid an impressive tri-
butte to the power of music. On sew
eral occasions he was commanded
to play for the Bolsheviks during
the period of bis captivity. In the
meantime. he had lost all trace of
his parents and he was refused per.
mission to establish any communica-
ton that would lead TO the knowl
edge of their whereabouts.
After a period of some months
during which time he had formu-
lated plans for escape, he made his
getaway and worked down to the
Golden Horn. The condition of his
clothes and of himself bore out his
tale of privation from lack of food
following his escape from the enemy.
During his days of bewilderment
and hiding, he kept with him his only
companion. the violin. and finally
when he reached his native people,
he told of his trying experiences.
Then he played for them and won
the hearts of the listeners.
After a search for some period of
time. he finally established COM
munication with his parents who
had fled to America. Funds were
sent for his passage and he landed
on American soil soon after.
In a few months. his skill in inter
preting the songs of his native land
attracted widespread attention and
he was engaged to play at exclusive
restaurants, concerts, and private
gatherings. Then. one day represen-
tatives Of the Great A. & p Tea Com
pany. in search of radio talent heard
this young Russian and a group of
his compatriots who had gathered
around him, play.

A. & P. purchasing offices

Long ago, the company

matter of fact, there IS hardly

as needs grew greater, that this

The reputation that A. & p. has
IlnhIIilt for A. & p coffee could
never have been established thad
they been content TO buy coffee in
the open market rather than at the
source of supply. The work OF the
coffee purchasing offices makes 1t
possible to offer customers distinctive

With the advantages accruinS
from the establishment of South
American coffee offices in mind, the
company opened offices in London,
England, October 10, 1924.
Through its London purchasing
office the company is ins close

centers of Europe and neighboring

When the first two ships Of

Army Grid Rally Emphasizes
Task Cadets Face This Season

giving regulars q complete rest.
There will be few enough opportuni-
ties this coming season for cadet stars
to sit on the side lines and watch their
less gifted comrades carry the burden.
Game after game will demand as much
of the full strength of the cadet team
as can be sent into play and the show
ing of the outfit in all its games will
depend greatly upon the supply of ex-
ccilent reserve material and the good
fortune of star players in the matter
Of injuries.
Yet on the other hand, some impor-
tant elevcns will not face the cadets IN
an underworked condition-Nebraska
for instance. The Cornhuskers came To
the Plains after h ing played Pitts
burgh the previous Saturday and they
will have TO leave Lincoln not later than
Wednesday night No one ever regarded
q game against Pi&t as bed OF roses,
comparatively speaking Besides, there
is the long railroad journey.
Stanford plays Washington one Satur-
day-always a rugged game--Califor-
mia the next and then leaves on the
transcontinental Journey to New York.

soldier outfit may weather its grueling
season better than now appears And
in any case the foot ball loving public
will profit.
