approval given by producers vot-
ing in the nationwide referendum

percent of the producers voting
were in favor of quotas.
Montana growers voted more
strongly in favor with slightly
more than "a percent of those
participating marking their bal
lots "for" quotas. 1t was the larg-
est percentage Montana produc-
ers have given quotas since 95.5
of the producers voting favored
quotas on the 1854 crop, Leo S.
Kolstad, State Agricultural Sta
bilization and Conservation adj
ministrative officer, said.
Unofficial Montana returns
showed 1912 growers in favor
of quotas and 946 opposed. Pre-

manager reported.
AS a result of the approval of
quotas, the national average price

feet for the 1855 program.
Producers desiring to secure
price support on their 1857 crop
wheat will be required to COM
ply with the allotments establish
ed for their farms.

canned soups areas a general
rule-unmatched by any that
mother" can make. In fact, she
discovered a mixture of canned
soups that hereby pass on to
you readers as the fastest
formula I have licked my chops
over. You take a can of pea soup
and mix with a can of Scotch
broth. Heat and serve. See if it
isn't something that will make
you forget nome cooking for a
while.
So you see Mrs. A. B., I do not
see red when confronted by a

emphasize in the column you

foods to the exclusion of every
thing else. +
AS for your problem of losing
inches around the hips" pa
tents have confronted me with
that one for years. I have yet to
find the complete answer. When
they are overweight l advise
them to reduce. In some cases
also suggest mild" exercise.
Some patients are anxious to
lose around the hips-as you are.
Others are more interested in
losing in the face, arms. legs, or
abdomen. I give them almost
identical advice.
First, lose! There is no guaran-
tee that you will lose where you
most want to. But cross your
fingers and hopeI Some of the fat
is bound to leave the most promi-
nent locations.

FAMOUS FABLES

Paderewski was playing a con-
cert in Carnegie Hall some years
ago. Although the program was
"a difficult one. he performed
with consummate grace and skill.
During the intermission, he went
to his dressing room to rest.
There was a knock and a
woman forced her way in.
'Mr. Paderewski," she an
nounced, Il am married to the
most wonderful man in the world,
and today is his birthday. AS
a special favor, would you be
good enough to play Happy
Birthday on the second part of
the program?"
Paderewski was too stunned to
reply. Then, with his customary
graciousness, he said:
Il would be happy to, madam,
but I don't have the music"
