FARM BOARD
GIVES AID TO
GRAPE GROWERS
Advance of Nine Millions Is
Authorized to California
Cooperative.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The
federal farm board has gone to the
rescue Of the California grape and
raisin trade in its first 1arge-scale
attempt to assist agriculture under
the new Hoover program. The indus
try, which has tripled since 1920 has,
however, been in financial trouble.
The board announced today
100000 was being advanced to
the Sun Maid Raising Growers Co
operative of California. Half of this
is to be advanced by the farm board
out of the S15O,00OOOO revolving
fund appropriated by congress- The
other nalf is to be advanced by Cal
ifornia bankers. The board also had
decided to advance sufficient funds
to finance the fresh grape crop
through the Federal Fruit Stabiliza-
ton Corporation, the exact amount
being undecided.
This program, the most ambitious
the farm board has launched. is de-
signed partly TO relieve the hard
pressed "Raisin Bowl of California,
in the vicinity Of Fresno where Pres
ident Hoover has a model farm.
One Other Advance
The only other advance of funds
authorized by the farm board since
it. began work a few weeks ago was
TO Florida fruit growers who got
100000, with the promise OF more
later.
The board has other ventures un-
der consideration including the
formation of O. s2O00O,0Oo grain
marketing corporation at Chicago, a
national wool marketing cOrportion
to be launched in October, and
material assistance to cotton
growers.
The California grape industry has
the confidence of President Hoover
and several of his closest friends are
influential in the effort to put it on a
sound basis. These include T. T. G.
Gregory. San Francisco lawyer, who
has developed the grape stabiliza-
ton corporation. and Henry M.
Robinson, head of the Secur;ty-First
National Bank Of Los Angeles, re-
garded by some as in line to succeed
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
Dry Head Aids Industry
Recently another branch of the
government gave encouragement to
the California grape industry. Pro-
hibition Commissioner James M.
Doran sought to protect it from I'M
warranted interference. He is now
on his way to the coast to investigate
whether grapes are being wholesaled
into illegitimate channels for wine
manufacture.
Doran issued an order to prohi-
bition administrators and special
agents which warned them that the
prohibition law permits unrestricted
manufacture Of Notwithstanding
cider and fruit juices in the home
when such are Notwithstanding in
fact and for exclusive use in the
home"

CHEMISTS SEARCH FOR
FIRE-PROOF ClGARET
U. S. Bureau Attempts Solution of
Eliminating Fire Hazards.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 19.-The
grand and glorious feeling of being
able TO throw away a cigaret with
our fear of its setting fire to some
thing is being promoted for poster
ttv by the Bureau of standards, it
was learned today.
According to the chemists of the
bureau, efforts are being made to
n dachem ical into which a cigaret
can be dipped to a depth of one inch
or slightly more, the average length
at which a fag is thrown away,
which will render the cigaret semi
noninf1ammable.
The difficulty lies in the necessity
Of finding a tasteleSs chemical, and
one which will not put out the
lighted cigaret if the smoker keeps
on putting in desire to consume
the entire butt. No treatment has
yet been devise dto the entire salts

HOLIDAYS ARE OVER

The holidays are over and we must
again settle down to the daily routine
of school work. 1t seems almost I'M
possible to get our minds once more
accustomed to the tedious task of
preparing lessons.
Resolutions are hard to keep. 1t
has been stated that if all the reso-
lutions made were placed end to end,
they would not reach to next Febru-
airy. However, we should all make
at least two resolutions. One is to do
everything we undertake in the best
way we can possibly do it, and the
other resolution is to resolve to keep
this first resolution. There is room
for Improvement in all of us and
if we start improving ourselves right
at the beginning of the year, we will
make 1929 a profitable year.
We should all start this year with
the right attitude toward our school,
our school work and our school ac-
tivitiess. Let US turn over new
leaf and begin with determination
to make Carbon County High big
ger and better high school.
