Clair A. Patterson, chairman of
the county AAA committee.
This is five cents lower than
the 1948 loan rate. The rate will

ment corn and corn stored on the
farm, the chairman stated.
jected plans for two considerably
larger warehouses also are being
considered by governmental authori-
ties.
More corn storage space is provid-
ed at the Bluffton location than ir
all the rest of Allen county put to-
gether, it was revealed this week.
With IL buildings in use here
there will be storage accommodations
for $4,000 bushels of corn. Other
Allen county storage points are al
Harrod, four buildings with total

Lease Land
In constructing the storage depot

one-acre of land on the Mueller farm
not far from the village corporation
limits.
Corn being stored here is that from
the surrounding area taken over BY
the government under its guaranteed
loan price program from a big cror
harvested last fall.
Originally stored on individual
farms, the grain commanded loan'
made to farmers are levels abov,

remaining lower than loan value thi

Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1949-08-05

An Englishman was sent by his
company to investigate the posi-
bilities of drilling oil wells in the
wilds of Venezuela. He had been
there few days and had become
quite chummy with a man who
spoke English well. He was un-
certain, however, of the mans ma
tionality. He might have been an
American or he might have been
a Venezuelan who had learned
English.
One day the Englishman asked
the man, care you a foreigner
here, too?"
The fellow gazed at him indig-
a n thy. foreigner" he de-
manded wrathfully. "No! I'm an
American"

An American general, attending
an official dinner in London, found
himself seated next to a Chinese.
Figuring the man knew little or no
English, he avoided speaking to
him and gave all his attention to
the man on his right. He felt,
though, that he should give the
Chinese some attention so after
the soup plates had been removed
he turned to the Chinese and
asked, Like soupee?" The man
seemed startled at first but smiled
and nodded his head. Nothing
more was said.
After dessert and coffee the gen.
eral suddenly became aware of
the fact that his Chinese neighbor
was standing and speaking bril-
iantly in perfect English. The
American general fidgeted most
intentionally for the full ten
minute speech.
As he sat down, DR.. Wellington
Koo, the Chinese Ambassador and
a graduate of Columbia University
and Oxford, turned to the general
and asked with justifiable
amount Of sarcasm, "L i k e e
Speechee?"
It was during Franklin D. Roose-
velt's third term that a grammar
school pupil was asked how he
was getting along with his studies.
He explained that he studied just
hard enough to get passing
grades.
"Oh, that will never do" said
his shocked aunt, "don't you know
that II you don't study very hard
you will never grow up to be
President of the United States?"
II don't expect to, anyway"
replied the lad with complete lack
Of ambition, "I'm a Republican.
