MASTER FOOD CODE
PLAN|SABAND0NED
Each Branch of Industry Will
Have Own Pact-Board
Is Dissolved.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Farm Administration abandoned
yesterday its plan for PRONUNCIATION of
a master food code, and at the same
time announced dissolution of the Food
1ndustry's Advisory Board, an unofficial
group consisting of representatives OF
distributing and processing industries.
Instead of a single master code, the
administration now will direct its efforts
toward master codes for each branch
Of the food industry with separate ones
for manufacturers, wholesalers and re-
tailers. These are to be supplemented
by codes covering various divisions OF
these general branches.
Explanations Conflict.
There were conflicts in the explana
tion for dissolution of the board. which
was organized by Charles j. Brand, for
mer co-administrator of the farm act,
who resigned in September after being
subjected to criticism. Brand organized
the board last June
Farm Administrator George N. Peek
explained through his aides that the
board had served its purpose" and
that its members desired to be released
OF even an informal association with
the farm administration so they would
be completely free to represent their
industries during the formulation of
codes and marketing agreements.
Reports persisted, however, that some
members of the board were out of
sympathy with the Farm Administra-
tons plans for codes and agreements
and were also irked by the delay in
formulating codes. There are more than
Soo such proposals awaiting action by
the Farm Administration.

 RIGHTS OF OLD CHARTER

took il nome. There was a great nue and cry from the champlons oL pro- nlDItIon, but when the authorities demanded an explanation the Gov ernor of the company dug out the ancient charter. There it was in black and white-or whatever color parchment is-a perpetual franchise for the sale of intoxicating liquor.
 Sure we can sell it., smiled the Governor. Any of our posts can sell it. In fact we hold the exclusive rights to sell liquor in Canada"
 You win," acknowledged the authorities. But don't make a nui- sance or yourselves just because you've got a piece Of parchment with kings scrawl on it."
 We shall sell one bottle year just to maintain our charter rights" was the answer.
 Much Pomp Observed
 In former years much pomp was observed by the officials of the com pany, especially when travelling. When Sir George Simpson was Governor he traversed the com pany's domain from the Atlantic to the Pacific in record time, accom- panied by a brigade of canoes and "a retinue of servants and retainers, among whom was his bagpiper.
 The Governor has his own ban ner, a white flag with the beaver and the two caribou rampant. It is flown from the bow of the steamer, scow or canoe on which the Governor is a passenger. Strict etiquette de- mands that he fly a small flag from his car, or even his cariole, should he chance to be travelling the winter trail with dogs. Lesser officials fly the company's houseflag, a Cana dian flag with the letters H B c in the field.
 Colorful Ceremonies
 Much of the colorful ceremony has been discarded, and the servants of the great company go about their business in a manner befitting modern commercial enterprise Now and then, however, fur trad CT of the old school emerges from the bush and startles the staid town dwellers by his eccentricities.
 A few years ago, Brown relates, a bearded Scotchman strode through the business section of Edmonton with a bagpiper at his heels, play ing a rousing tune. The stuff went over big for several days. Each morning the piper took his station in the lobby of the Macdonald Hotel -Edmonton's finest hostelry-and hailed his employers descent in the elevator with the skirl of pipes. "The guests are complaining Angus" tactfully explained the manager. Cant you hire a hal some placer"
 Be damned to the guests" grumb led the Highlander.
 Tt sounds terrible in a place 1 like this.'
 Thereafter, Angus bade his piper stand without the portals of tht hotel and pipe his arrival or de parture from the sidewalk.
