With the exception of tobacco
most crops are in good condition
throughout this section. Late set
ting and failure of plants to grow
have left most all tobacco patches
in a scattered condition which
will reduce the yield and per-
haps the quality a large per cent.
The bean crop throughout this
mountain section has been very
productive despite the unfavor-
able weather this season. Most
all the crop has been sold on the
Mountain City market and has
brought satisfactory prices to the
growers.

frantic requests for parts from cyclists in
half-dozen European countries.
Road cycling abroad is immensely more
popular than it is here, and more often than
not when foreigner comes to settle in
America his first phone call is to Bob Berg
hino. Fortunately Bob is quite llngulst;
he does business in Italian, French, Spanish,
Russian, and even Chinese.
Because of its incredibly light weight,
Berghno bike looks naked when it's ready
for the road, but it's solidly built and will
take as much abuse as truck.
Berghino likes to tinker with innovations.
He built bike only six inches high for
Baron Nowak. the midget who was billed
as the worlds smallest man. For vaude-
Williams he also turns out onewheel velocl-
pedes, probably knows more about their
mechanics than any man in the country.

down to nine if it weren't for the wide-eyed
small fry who drape themselves all over the
place. And, just when he needs certain
tool, some lO-year-old has it outside repair
ing his roller skates The short cut is for
Berghino to fix the skates on the spot

no" Even as he was delivering himself of
this lamentation young mother came in

with it, she said. "It's sluggish"
Berghino was up to his ears in work but
he took a look and grunted: Leave it here.
This thing is too heavy. What it needs is
more maneuverability, more speed.
With Bob Berghino that's the prescrip-
ton for anything on wheels. The End

 It Says Here
By BOB HOPE NEW HILL?

The Navy has announced that the ocean floor is rising off the Golden Gate. Naturally, the local citizens are aroused. And who can blame then?? Can you imagine having another hill to climb in San Francisco?
 I wouldn't get excited if I were they. It's not really the ocean floor that's rising. After years of peoples sliding down those hills into the bay There was bound to be a pile-up!
 The U. s. s. Sumner was first to discover the land mass, and 1t caused quite a bit of excitement aboard ship The sailors all ran up and asked the captain for shore leave
 People from all over California are rushing down to the shore to see the spectacle, and I under stand real estate men are selling 1t for ten thousand an acre. So, buy fast It's bound to rise.
 The Navy says it was caused by a possible subterranean volcano, but know the real cause of the phenomenon I told Sydney Greenstreet not to dive off that ocean park pier
 Seriously, though, this upheaval of the ocean floor is going to necessitate change in seaman's tactics. When sailor takes his girl for a moonlight sail he'll have to be mighty careful Now she can walk home

healthy tonsils and adenoids respon- sible for frequent colds. When they are responsible their removal offers the most satisfactory and quickest method of treatment"
 Altogether, as 1t seems to me. the removal of tonsils and /or adenoids is only gamble at best-I mean as far as prevention of frequent cri Is concerned. Of tonsillectomy is always a gamble. as far as the pa- tlent's life is concerned It is a MAJOR operation, and the so-called surgeon who tells you 1t is less seri- ous than ordinary operations is simply deceiving you.
 In young adults Csays Dr. Kaiser Smiley found that young men who had had operations on the nose and throat were more subject to respir- atory infections than those who had not had such operations. ForSythe found more respiratory infections Gcolds9 to you, stu in the course of year in tonsillectomized stu dents than in a group of non-t ton- sillectomized students of the same age.

and she announced ahead of time that no refreshments would be served, because of the world food shortage.
 If the First Lady can get by with 1t, so can you. It's really a wonderful idea from everybodys standpoint.
 The food-fixers won't have to spend half day baking fancy cup cakes, or twisting bread into weird sandwich shapes.
 There won't be any dishwashing afterward.
 The plumper guests won't have struggle with their consciences over whether or not to have sec- ond serving.
 The hostesss family will get a real dinner, instead of having to eat party leftovers.
 And everybody can feel noble about the whole thing Food will thus be saved without hardship, and if every Women's organization in the country would pass mo refreshments" rule, the amount of food saved would really be worth while.
 ITS TOO EASY, PERHAPS
 The whole trouble is, it's almost too simple and uncomplicated way to save food to interest Women'S clubs.
 Women like to do their good deeds the hard way. That is why they bake cakes instead of donat- ing money, for church suppers. It is why they spend hours making articles for a bazaar, and then buy them from each other.
 Cutting out refreshments may be too simple to seem noble. If so, it will never prove popular way of saving food, even though it has the sanction of Americas First Lady

HOLLYWOOD, July 29-There's food for thought in the case of Bar bara Hale, RKO's new candidate for stardom. First of all, a feT-line sketch of the route she traveled to Hollywood.
 She's Chicago kid who discov- cred, after attending Windy City art school for month or two that the family finances were not elastic enough to finance her studies, and took part-tim job modelling clothes. The owner of the agency happens to be an old-time friend of RKO's publicity director. He mentioned the girl in one of his let ters as a distinct screen possibility; the publicity passed the recommen- dation along to the studios talent scouts, and, presto, Miss Hale landed a contract. When she arrived in Hol- lyWood, about year ago, she'd had no dramatic experience or training whatever
 Now, with only two tiny bit roles to ready her for it, shes just con- pleted a very exacting lead in picture starring Robert Young and featuring James Gleason. Frank Morgan and Harry Davenport, a quartet of the ShreUdest scene stealers in Hollywood. I've seen the finished picture, Lady Luck" and I'm amazed by the fact that Miss Hale more than holds her own.
 Unless you're willing to accept the theory that shes a natural acting genius Q'm not, the only possible conclusion is that any personable girl, intelligent enough to under stand and follow good direction, can click in pictures if given an oppor- tunity. It leaves one wondering why such a tremendous premium is placed on HollyWood's average" actresses.
 Idol Chatter: If the Academy gave Oscars for consistent excellence in difficult roles, my No. candidate would be James Gleason Add moos from the publicity barrage: Morris Ankrum sometimes woos sleep by listening to recordings of old political speeches" It's easy to tell Joan CraWford's mood-of- the-moment; just watch the way she plies her knitting needles be- tween scenes Add reasons I like Jane Wyman: Her lips never smile without her eyes okaying the deal He may be Robert Taylor to you, but his family still refers to him as Arlington Gull name Spangler Arlington Brugh Peas-in-a-pod: Helmut Dantine to- day, and Fredric Marell. a decade ago You could describe Betty Grable as the kind of a gal who looks good in everything she takes off.
