the difficulty of matching these colors

be in the mode to wear contrasting

point where its influence is felt in
the alfalfa hay industry. Much
credit for this growth and develop
ment is due H. A. Hastain, retiring

mediate Credit Bank of Berkeley
and the Berkeley Bank for Cooper
atives to loan money on hay on
the ranch thus bringing a service
to alfalfa hay growers that simpli-
fled the financing promlem. Mem

he borrowed for another during his
campaign against the election of Al.
fred E. Smith in 1929.

Episcopal divine was able to lend
$4,000 ito his old Anti-Saloon
