Of course there are only four

resulting terrific ''boypower

No sooner do you sweep the
room boys out than in rush a
series of peddlers, all let in one
after another by room boys who
must get their 'squeez" out of

undo a silk rag bundle and

impossible to convince him you
don't want to buy and II you
belittle his merchandise he just
uses your telephone to summon
his brother with higher priced

After they depart with all

ushers in a White Russian who
says he is a refugee but turns
out to be a bootlegger. He asks
whether you want Scotch or
Bourbon. Trying to outsmart
him, you say, Brandy"
Can do" says he. He steps
outside the door, pulls a brandy
lalbe out of his pocket and pastes
it over the Scotch label on one
of his bottles of banana oil and
sweet potato squeezings. He
leaves. You pull out the cork
and two navy officers from down
the hall promptly beat on your

for a friend who used to live

Farm Research
Plan Advanced

Agricultural research destined to
help farmers take their rightful
places in the highly competitive
postwar world is a new develop
ment advocated by the California
Farm Bureau Federation directors
Saturday.
He asked directors for Sugges-
tions as to the type Of research
which would help them. He recon-
mended the report of the Meloland
group as basis and suggested that
the farmers add to that if they have
ideas on the subject.
Industry has been using research
for years" Hoober pointed out.
Agriculture has used research to
some extent but we believe we need
more research along more widely di-
versified lines if we are to benefit
to the greatest extent. Industry
divertS certain per cent of its
income to research and we should
do the same" Hoober declared.
Directors agreed to study the
matter of suggestions and report
later.
