kets with a foreign nation which
does not have the production costs
which We have. This agreement cuts
down the duty on flax seed, for in
stance, which comes in from Argen-
tina and Uruguay to the detriment
Of our farmers"
The notice of termination must
be given Immediately or it will not
go through in time to benefit farm
ers with their l945 crops. The agree
ment affects farmers throughout
the nation. Copies of the resolu-
ton will be sent to Secretary Hull
and the California Farm Bureau
Federation for sending to National
Farm Bureau Federation and
thence to other state Farm Bureau
organizations.
HAULING FEES
The congressman agreed to see
that Imperial Valley farmers are
relieved of the three per cent trans
portation tax which they have been
forced to pay on hay picked up on
their farms and hauled to stacks
Tor storage or piled at the roadside
for hauling.
L am convinced that the trans
portation tax should not apply TO
that type of hauling" Phillips said
when the situation was explained
TO him. As soon as I get back to
Washington, III investigate but
from here l should say the collec-
ton OF the three per cent federal
transportation tax for hauling on
the farms is illegal and not within
the meaning OF the law"
Directors bitterly have protested
tins practice, declaring that if the
'Dureaucrats are allowed TO get
away with 1t the farmers soon will
nave 10 pay tax on every pnase
OF farming and harvesting"
He also will look after Imperial
Valley interests when it comes to
tires. 1t looks as though Imperial
valley Is about to be LETT out in
the cold when it comes to the hand
out OF tires" Phillips said. 1t will
not be satisfactory for Imperial
Valley tires to be given out from
San lego. An urban area does not
understand the needs and problems
OF a rural area"
Directors then wanted TO know
about the status OF Mexican lapor
and the situation concerning wet"
MeXicans.
There is so much bungling in
the diplomatic relations of the
United States with the countries
10 the south of us that we are not
making lasting friendships with
them" Phillips said. For instance.
We sent several hundred representa-
tlyeS TO South American nation
TO buy wool and cotton. Tney knew
nothing about wool and cotton SO.
as a Consequence, they paid the
highest prices III history for the
poorest grace5 o. cotton and wool
ever sent the United States from
that nation. 1t upset the local situ-
alton and caused enmity and con-
fusion"
Phillips explained that the Mex
ican government doesn't want the
wet" Mexicans, those who enter
the United States illegally, to re-
main in this country and as a re-
suit the government sent many i'm
migration officers to pick them up
and send them across the border.
He said there was no hope of Ger
man prisoners being sent Imperial
Valley as it is too close TO the
borcer. Nor is there hope of getting
Italian prisoners as they are being
sent back to italy as rapidly as
possible.
1T is all part of the so-called
diplomatic situation" the congress-
man said. I'VE can only hope that
all will be well in spite OF the bun

Yanks Donate $4,000 to
Child of Hero Mother

LONDON.-American airmen at a
Ninth air force base in England have
contributed nearly $4,000 to an edu-
cation fund for four-year-old Tony
Everitt, orphaned when his mother
saved a gunner from his crashed
and burning plane and then died try
ing to rescue others.
Men from the base filed by a table
after drawing their pay and deposit
ed $4,000. Soon the fund had grown
to more than $1,000 and still was
swelling.
The plane collided with another
aircraft and crashed into a field
near the Everitt farmhouse and
started to burn. Mrs. Betty Everitt
dashed into the inferno, beat out the
flames which were soaring the body
of the turret gunner-the only man
to escape-and continued her rescue
efforts until the bomber exploded.

Famed rs Gun of
'I8 NOW in BOmbers
Largest Arm Ever Mounted
In an Airplane.

ORLANDO, FLA.-The old CTS"
nm. cannon, the famous artillery
piece that dad slogged behind in the
mud of France during the First
World war, is now serving junior
from the air at 300 miles an hour.
The wellknown French three-inch
cannon now provides our heaviest
air frepower from its perch in the
nose of the Mitchell BIS medium
bomber. 1t is the largest gun ever
mounted in a plane.
The "75" makes the Mitchell a
triple threat force of destruction,
with its armor-piercing shells, IA So
caliber machine guns, and its ability
to demolish a target by skip-bomb-
ing.
The addition of the gun adds an
other job to the five or six man crew
of a medium BIS. Usually the navi-
gator or the crew chief acts as
"cannoneer" and does everything
except the actual firing, including
the loading and handling of the can
non.
One OF the advantages or the can
mons long firing range is that it al
lows the pilot to see his hits on the
target which is ahead of him when
the shell strikes, and to photograph
enemy Notifications and the dam
age inflicted on them.
The gun is being perfected for use
as "air artillery against enemy
ground installations and recently
wreaked havoc on Jap airdromes
and landing fields in New Guinea,
and blew up a half-million gallon
japanese gas tank in Burma.
The flying cannon" which was at
first considered another aviation i'm
possibility, but which has proven it.
self in combat, is now being further
developed and improved by air war
veterans back from overseas, at the
army air forces tactical center here.

Take MY Word
For It'll
By FRANK COLBY
HANDBOOK OF
PRACTICAL ENGLISH

@. Should n say, 81 nm very
Interested" or Every much inter-
ested"?
Answer: This is a rather techni-
cal though important grammatical
point which I shall try to make
clear.
Such words as interested, pleased,
satisfied, worried, discouraged, serve
as both verbs and adjectives. In
such a sentence as, "She wore a
pleased expression" the word
"pleased" is an adjective, modify
ing the noun repression"
But in "She was very pleased
by the compliment" the word
pleased" plainly is a verb form,
and should be intensified by every
much" instead of by Every"
Avoid: ~ am very Interested"
Better: 1 am very much inter-
ested.
Avoid: "she was very worried
about her son."
Better: She was very much wor-
ried about her son.
Avoid: 'He is very satisfied with
himself"
Better: He is very much satisfied
with himself.
Avoid: 81 was too discouraged to
try again."
Better: l was too much Cor: too
greatly discouraged to try again.
@. Will you please tell our class
the correct plural and possessive
forms of the word BUS?
A. Bus is a shortened form of
omnibus, a Latin word which means
''for ALL" The first choice plural of
bus is: busseS. The second choice
buses. l prefer the form buses
Tor the reason that it is phonetic.

Six Sisters Meet Brother
First Time in Is Years

MILWAUKEE.-Six sisters and a
brother, separated when their moth
er died Is years ago, are now unit
ed. The brother, Staff Sergt. Jerome
Egbert, 26, who had been in the
Panama Canal Zone four years and
in the West since last October, met
the family at the homes of the mar
ried sisters and other relatives.
A high point of Sergeant Egbert's
Milwaukee visit came when he was
godfather to his month old niece,
Susan Margaret, daughter of his
sister, Margaret Mrs. Stephen Cain,
1871 N. Richards street,. He has
been getting acquainted, too, with
the children of his oldest sisters,
Louise Mrs. Earl Huey, Redmon,
ILL.,, and Bernice Mrs. Walter
Stubbe, 1921 w. Dixon avenue). The
other sisters who have been with
him this week are Lillian, 739 N.
Jackson street, Lenora, who came
from Flint, Mich, with an aunt,
Mrs. Anna Kohn, and Josephine,
who lives with Mrs. Stubbe.
Their grandmother, Mrs. Callie
Eygabroad, came from the Wiscon-
sin Veterans home at King, Wis, to
her cottage on Lake Nagawicka to
give a reunion dinner in Jerome's
honor; an uncle and aunt, Mr. and
Mrs. John Barwig, 2843 w. Juneau

Mr.. and Mrs. Stubbe were hosts at

Water Glass Storage

To keep eggs for other months of
the year when prices will be higher,
water glass storage is probably the
simplest and %surest. Water glass
can be obtained from any drug store
at a cost of about rs cents a quart.
A quart mixed with about nine
quarts of water that has been boiled
and then cooled, is enough to cover
about 10 dozen eggs for storage.
The eggs can be kept in a clean
earthen crock or wooden tub of
about six-gallon capacity, in a cool
place.

WOmen'S Suits

What about suits for the woman
with large hips? A fitted suit jacket
ending just above the largest part
of the hips will tend to increase tho
size by calling attention to the cir.
conference outlined by the bottom
of the skirt. A jacket length just
covering the widest part will In
many cases cut the figure in halt,
resulting in unpleasant proportions.
Avoid the use of two colors in jacket
and skirt, as such a combination
divides the figure and calls attention
to the wrong part of it.
