Most people enjoy tales of far away places, and one of Palmer's best qualified such story tellers is Oscar Kerttula. Having cir eumnavigated the globe several times during his 12 years as a seaman, he is always willing to spin yarn of the Pacific Is lands, Europe or South America. With the exception of China, two of the British Isles, Holland, New Zealand, and some South American countries, he has visit ed most Of the major countries of the world
 Born and reared in Minnesota, Mir kerttu1a first put to sea in World War I. He served with the Maritime Commission from 1916 to 1921 He had further military experience in the second World War. He was then a command ant overseeing the engine rooms of fleets ranging from 30 to 50 ships He also spent year in the Army with the Chemical Warfare Service.
 Mir Kerttula= has good reason to keenly remember his years of service He has spent the past few weeks with his legs in trae- tion for spinal injury caused by shrapnel, and for some time to come he will be forced to lead life of inactivity most trying to such an energetic per son.
 In distant lands Seaman Ker- ttula had many and greatly var jed experiences. His ship left him in Sydney, Australia with little more than an undershirt on his back and a few schillings in his pocket. He finally made 1t home via the Panama Canal some six months later He visit ed the city of thieVesa as he described Lisbon, Portugal, There all types, from pickpock- cts to master swindlers,.. thrive, he stated. .4 .s.

OLD RELIC

Phillips HARRISON, the Tri-
bune's circulation solicitor,
brought a relic into the office
this week that symbolizes the
changing world in these parts.
The odd shaped antique was
shaped like a dumbbell and
hewed out of the heart of a
white pine.
Phillips said it was known
as a "pestle" in its time and
was used along with a mort
ar" to beat the husk off native
rice that was grown in this
section. He got the relic from
the GOmery Buffkin place
where it was being used as a
scotch for an oil drum.
It's age is unknown but
certainly il is older than most
of today's generation of peo-
pie.

TO
fame

When Washington Roebling completed
the building of the Brooklyn Bridge back
in 1883, it was hailed as the greatest en-
glneering feat of all times. The dream of
Mr. Roebling Was complete but the span
itself is better known because Steve Brody
jumped from it. He wasn't pushed. The
words "Brody Took A Chance" became
known throughou the world and people
came to the bridge where he made
his famous leap. 1t is said that many hap
less visitors were sold the bridge by sharp
shooting individuals looking for an easy
dollar.
People are still taking chances and
other Roeblings are building bigger and
better bridges for more Brodys to jump
from. But why take chance when you
buy used car? You don't have to. We're
in the business of taking a chance when
we buy your old but we're equipped
to rebuild your car to perfection so that
a new owner is not involved in a lottery
When We offer a car for sale, we have
to back it up with reputation which
has been built up the years. We
cannot take any more chance with our
used cars than the new owner can afford
to take with his purchase We've built US

Portation needs of u d $ of our
neishbors. Keeping them happy pays off
in more business, plus, greater satisfaction
to our entire staff of automobile tech

You don't have to be a Steve Brody
when you pick a used car from our selec-
ton, and you won't be pushed into sale.
No sharP-shooting salesman is going &c
hide in the bushes to waylay you at a weak
moment with your pocket flaps down. We
want you, We urge you, to take your time
browsing around our place because we are
not going to be satisfied until we can pro-
vide you with a car that will suit your

will have strong. vigorous agri

For this reason. / think it is man.
datory to attack our farm problems
at the fanily-size farm level.
New Legislation
With these thoughts in mind. ]
recently introduced legislation that
would set up a system of gradu.
ated price supports. 1t is q system
that is patterned along the lines oil
our income tax laws.
Under our income tax laws, PEG.
pie pay according to their ability
to pay The larger the income. the
more the income tax.
Under system of graduated
price supports, the larger the farm
Ell. the less price support benefits
he receives. In other words, farm
er who produced LOCO bales OF cot
ton would get less price support
benefits than farmer who pr0duc-
ed so bales, or Is bales.
The bill introduced sets up spe-
cific schedules of graduated price
supports for cotton and wheat. l
think similar schedules could be
worked out for other basic commod-
tiles il it is determined that this is
the acceptable course to take.
Cotton as Example
IN the case of cotton. the program
would work like this
For the first Is bales of cotton a
farmer produced. he would receive
100 per cent of parity. On the next
Is bales IS per cent; on the next
20 bales, 80 per cent; on the next

Of parity for the large part Of his
production This would put badly
needed purchasing power into the
hands Of thousands of small family
size farmers.
Secondly, such a system OF sup
ports would discourage large cor
pcration farmers from producing
strictly for the purpose Of selling

Whatever the complicated charts
and graphs of the economist might

We cannot avoid the fact that the
continuous decline in farm income
is beginning to have its effects on
the rest of our economy.
This year alone. farm income is
