opposed the majority report favOrlng
the senator and offered minority
report with a candidate of their own.

Took Strings Off Beans
Now Seeks New Work

New York, N. Y.-(Autocaster)-
Calvin N. Keeney of Leroy, n. Y, aft
er a quarter of century succeeded IN
getting the strings out of the beans
and now everybody is growing them
that way. Keeney sold his first seed
to a big grower who supplied Con-
gressmen with the seeds they sent out
to constituents and with lavish gener-
osity they sent samples out every
where, and with that Keeney's prize
bean business blew up.
He has not been able to correct the
faults of any other vegetable. His
children are urging him to look for
another Job where the fruits of his
toll cannot be pilfered by Nature her
