people who normally would have
gone to town, stayed on the farm.
Older people did not go to town to
retire. Youth who had gone to the
city, were out of work and returned
to the farm. City people, fearing the
depression, left to pick up small
farms as haven in bad times.
Production declined in the drouth

In the 194Os World war 2 came.
Agriculture doomed, people left
farms for towns and entered the

Farm output has climbed steadily

Production per acre, per COW, per

Wheat and corn production per

Progress
Conferences
Series Planned to Promote
AgyjcNLtAraL Stability

SIGNIFICANT changes that have
had a powerful effect upon agricul-
ture are being discussed at Montana
meetings which will end in district
rural progress conferences in Febru-
airy and early March.
The purpose of the progress con-
ferences is to develop through dis
cussion by farmers, ranchers and
others interested in agriculture, a
program that will make agriculture
more secure. Since drouths and other
hazards of agriculture are bound to
occur at intervals, discussion will in
clude problems of the past and how
they were solved.
Similar conferences were held IS
years ago, under the direction Of the
Montana Extension service. Farmers,
ranchers and others then discussed
and worked out a detailed program,
some of which is still applicable to-
day. The present conferences are
also sponsored by the Montana Ex-
tension service.
Shortly after the former confer
ences, farm population started to in
crease, according to DR.. M. M. Kelso,
head of agricultural economics at

KEY WEST DOES NOT CELEBRATE FOURTH
ASST USED TO BUT SPIRIT UNCHANGED

Kew West IN common with the rest of the country,
will have it's festivities tomorrow celebrating the Fourth
of July or independence Day, which forever remains
fresh in the minds of Americans 1t is that freshness as
though our observance tomorrow will be our first to COM
memorate Fourth which keeps Americans ever young
so far as their patriotic fevor is concerned
Using Kew West as unit Of Union the celebra-
ton today of the Fourth similar to what it here
century ago. with few exceptions due to chang
Ing times Chief among the exceptions is the explosion OF
firecrackers.
The Citizen thinks the City Commissioners acted
wisely banning the sale and of freerackers yet
the old days Key West they formed the nucleus in local
Fourth of July celebrations Had you resided in Key West
IN those days. you would know without anybobys men
tioning it to you when Independence Day was approach
ing Frecrackers began to pop week or longer before
the Fourth would reach their peak in exploding when the
day and would continue popping week afterward
Small firecrackers cost nickle package, but many
boys and not content to fire them one at
time They opened pack and lit fuse that caused the
entire package to explode after the other in quick
succession also had crackers set off some
times under large cans which knocked high into the
air. Dangerous? Yes Many boy, youth and man was in
jured. That sound for the Commissioners
prohibiting the today of firecrackers and another
sound the danger of causing fire We con-
sentative In this regard and Key Westers in the old
days reckless but the Spirit of the Fourth then and
now, Is the same.
Patriotism dies among liberty-loving people.
They don't carry it their sleeves and don't harp about
H. but when the time comes for its manifestation they
stirred intellectually by the knowledge that this day.
the Fourth of July, is the stamp of freedom.
A similar feeling is entertained among our Cuban
friends In Key West Year after year. they celebrate Ell
Critic de Yara because the liberty Of the Island Republic
had its inception At Yara. It epitomizes Freedom, as the
Fourth to only another word for Freedom, the bed

When the sun had begun to 60

1000 pounds of fish caught in four
hours, two Jewish, one shark, one

Fish not people occupied the

fish had coughed up a crawfish
shell, vestige of his last supper.

fact the California spearfishing
clubs encourage members to go af-
ter sharks. Medals are given for
catching sharks by the tail.
Don't worry so much about bar

he himself was little worried He
had gone over the side to retrieve
an inner tube to which some
spears and ropes were attached.

The laden boat returned TO Key
West. All but the shark are edible.
That had to be taken out again be-
cause city law forbids dumping
dead fish in Garrison blight.

the California spearfishermen took
their leave Of Key West.

VA Announces

WASHINGTON.-(Special) Sena

the veterans contact offices az
Lakeland. Key West. or Orlando.
Smathers had inquired of Veter-
ans Affairs Administrator Carl
Gray after receiving complaints OF
some veterans in the affected
areas that the offices were to be
discontinued. He forwarded copies
of measuring reply today from
o. w. Clark, deputy VA admins
traitor.
Need For Service
Smathers commented, "As long
as there Is a need for service to the
veterans, I believe the government
should see that necessary facilities
are provided.
In his letter to Senator Smathers,
Clark said:
There are no current plans 70
close the Veterans Administration
Offices at Lakeland, Key West, or
Orlando. However, the policy OF
this agency is to discontinue offices
which demonstrate a monthly aver
age workload Of less than $50 Wis.
its per month. Future action to
close offices would be predicated
upon this established criterion. Ac-
cordingly, should any offices fall
below the announced minimum
workload. it win be necessary to
close them"
Senator Smathers said his infor-
nation is that these Florida offices
concerned are well above that
workload minimum.

HOLLYWOOD
NOTES
BY JAMES BACON
For vaessionins Bob Thomas)

Y
HOLLYWOOD R - True. every
body in Hollywood wants to be
someone else-actors wish they
were directors: directors wish
they were producers and SO on.
But when Virginia Mayo says
she wants to look like someone
else, let's face it. That's carrying
dissatisfaction too far!
I learned this bit of intelligence
after seeing Virginia in shes
Working Her Way Through Col.
lege". in which she plays Hot Gar
tiers Gertie, a burlesque stripper.
This picture accents well known
Hollywood fact, to wit:
Virginia Mayo Is the possessor
of the movies most beautiful body.
And she's got the face to 60 with
it.
For one thing the makeup de-
partments at Warmers and other
studios reveal that she needs only
powder and rouge to look her best
before the cameras. That's some
thing that can't be said of all
glamor girls il this town.
Armed with all these facts and
figures, / asked Virginia what she
thought of cheeSecake.
81 like it very much" she re-
piled unsmilingly. 1T tastes real
good"
Il didn't mean that kind of
cheesecake."
"Oh," she smiled. ''you mean
the other kind-leg art. Frankly
l don't mind posing for it but l
don't enjoy seeing cheesecake or
any other kind of pictures where
! look like me. / like pictures of
myself where / look like someone
else, preferably, Vivien Leigh"
Now Miss Leigh is beauty and
undoubtedly one of the worlds
greatest actresses hut one viii get
you 10 that she would gladly trade
the Oscar she won last March if
she could look like Virginia in a
bathing suit. Or play Hot Carriers
Gertie.
] asked Virginia if this business
of wanting to look like Miss Leigh
harbored secre. yearning to be
a great dramatic actress.
Naturally, I'd like to be a great
actress. And the studio gives me
enough versatility in my roles SO
/ can try: but basically. Pm a
song and dance girl. I love must
Gals and wouldn't care if l did
nothing but musicals. That's all
Betty Cradle does and look where
she rates in this business.
The mention Of Betty Cradle mo-
mentarily stunned me. | started
thinking how Betty would like
reading that Virginia Mayo has
the best figure in Hollywood. But
then it's well known fact around
town that Betty reads only the
racing form.
But Marilyn Monroe? There's q
girl who reads everything.
This job of writing about Holly
wood glamour can be hazardous.

Business
Mirror
BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R-The clothing
industries have been doing some
soul searching-all the way from
the store back to the mill. As a
result there is a rash of pronuncia-
mentos today. Any one of them
ought to raise somebody's hackles.
Like this one: Mems wear has
advanced In style and ideas much
faster than the women's lines in
the last few years.
Or this: Most retail stores are
selling in spite of themselves and
not because of any merchandising
abilities - the salesman is the
weakest link.
And this: Cotton is winning a
slight advantage in the battle of
the fibers.
The man who thinks that mems
wear has gone far ahead of the
women's field and dollar for dol
lar gives a much better value"
is M. ]. Lowell, director of the
National Association of Shirt, Pa
lama and Sportswear Manufac-
turerS.
1.-THE mems wear industry hasn't
been slipping" he says. "It's been
changing
Naturally, Lowell thinks the. new
emphasis on sportswear is all to
the good. He admits that sales
have fallen off in suits, hats and
neckwear, but says it is more than
made up by gains in other lines.
This cheerful view may not be
echoed by the makers of suits,
hats a ties.
Dim views of the abilities Of re-
tail clothing statesmen are ex-
pressed by several speakers at a
conference sponsored by the Ma
tional Association of Retail Cloth
lers and Furnishers.
Some speakers called the retail
salesman the weakest link in the
apparel field. This may not set
well with some old and faithful
store clerks.
The retailer doesn't know how
to sell his merchandise, according
| to Charles M. Edwards. dean of
the School of Retailing of New
York University. Weakest points,
he says, are advertising, display
| and personal selling.
Stop stressing items that were
good in the past. says Victor Le-
brow, Baltimore clothing manu-
facturer. Think up new ways of
attracting the consumer-like en-
phasizing fashion rather than price
to influence the women who often
make I'D their mems minds on
the subject of male attire.
In the manufacturing field there
| is considerable optimism over
prospects for fall. Many fall lines
are down from s. to 81 from last
year, and good business is antici-
pated.
Raw wool prices have advanced
since Easter from their post
Korean lows earlier in the year,
But the price hikes may not affect
mems clothing lines until next
spring. The Wool Bureau Inc. says
the world outlook for the sheep
fiber is bullish-- phrase that
mixes up the animal kingdom a
] little.
Women's WOODEN and worsted APP

of mills have gone up this week

will be tested later this month
