Those who heard Mr. Cordell present the agricultue department's side, appreciate the manifold difficulties in making changes, but it is hoped that an exception will be made in the local case and the acreage Quota increased. The beet growers showed keen interest in the discussion and appealed to the government representative for a higher quota in this area.

no step should be taken now that would retard or set industry back and if production at the local sugar factory is reduced, through lack of , acreage, it will have its bad effects throughout the territory. THANKSGIVING: "During he past year we have been given courage and fortitude to meet the problems which have confronted us in our national life Our sense of social justice has deepened. We have been given vision to make new provisions for I human welfare and happiness, and in a spirit of mutual happiness, we have co-operated to translate vis.

[ ion into reality. “More greatly have we turned our hearts and minds to things spiritual. We can truly say, ‘what profiteth it a nation if it gain the whole world and lose its own soul.’ "With gratitude in our hearts for what has already been achieved, we may, with the help of God. dedicate ourselves anew to work for the betterment of mankind.” — From President Roosevelt's Thanksgiving proclamationTHE INSULL ACQUITTAL: The verdict of the jury in the Instill case came as a surprise to most people. This may be because they had not heard the testimony at the trial, as the jury had. The prosecution depended largely upon highly technical documentary evidence. The main charge upon which the indictment was based was of issuing misleading prospectuses and sending them through the mails. Little if any attempt was made to prove anything like embezzlement or personal dishonesty on the part of Mr. Insult He j had built up an enormous struc- | ture of interlocking securities, which fell with a great crash and ruined thousands of investors. The question was, however, whether in the process anything criifflnal had been done, and the jury decided there had not been. Probably it was influenced more by human motives than by legal argument*. The lapse of time had permitted the indignation and demand for vengeance which made themselves heard at the time of the Insull smash to abate somewhat. Probably the jury took the view, as the one' which tried the former president of the National City Bank seemed to do, that it was of no use to single out an individual, when hundreds of others had been doing the same thing. It was a mad period. Men of ordinarily keen intelligence were mis. led by the speculative mania then raging. Things were done or attempted which in saner days would not have been contemplated for a moment. Mr. Insull was only one of many financiers and promoters who seemed to believe that any security which could be printed on [taper would somehow turn out to be sound. Seemingly the jury at Chicago made up its mind that it was the system, the prevailing belief that get-rich-quick methods were sound, that was more responsible than ony one man drawn away by the prevailing frenzy of those days At all events, that interpretation seems to be the most plausible one to put upon the Insull verdict. —New Yotk Times. o * Household Scrapbook —by— ROBERTA LEE ♦ ♦ Cleaning An Oil Pairtjng Wash the surface gently with clean, warm water, using a soft cloth.

Making the Home More Livable The Correct Living Room Table Lamp Does Its Share if -A-’,/ . |MM S-WB t i s’ I ftJn F**' f / S| : '

By Jean Prentice IT isn’t that husband or wife i«i selfish — but sometimes when they settle down in their chaffs beside the living room table for an hour or so of reading, one or the other unconsciously reaches out to pul! the lamp closer. And their mate is left out in the dark! We’ll have to blame the lamp. For that doesn't happen to the persons who inhabit the living room sketched above. When the two chairs are occupied, and books or newspapers are opened, this lamp is as kind to the eyes of the one as to the other’s, and serves each reader equally well. It "stays put” in the center of the table. I wonder if the lamp on your living room table has the good traits of this one? Your tape measure or ruler will help tell you. Height of this lamp is from 23 to 26 inches and the bottom diameter of the shade (which, by the way, is of course open at the top) is between 16 and IS. And how important are the height of the standard and the width of thq shade, say lighting

/'.BEACH BEAUTY/M

SYNOPSIS I After Earl Harrow, theatrical producer, attends a Community Players’ amateur show and secs Kay Owen, the star and local beauty, he decides to prolong his visit to Daytona Beach. He offers her a job as his typist during hi* stay. Kay, feeling that this may give her an opportunity to get on the professional stage, is thrilled. FoHowing a party at Ida Campbell’s, socialite member of the Players, Ida and Harrow become interested in each other to Kay’s disappointment. Citing , the producer’s reputation, Kay’s mother and brother. Bud. urge her net to work for him. Then Bud is taken ill. Kay secretly accepts Harrow’s offer to help her family. Pete Ryan, young engineering student working as a life-guard, is in love with Kay. He receives an offer of an engineering job in Guatemala and asks Kay to marry him. Kay, uncertain of her love for Pete, refuses. Unknown to her mother, Kay goes on a fishing trip with Harrow She is surprised when Ida comes aboard for she and “Spike” Winch. Harrow’s press agent, had purposely refrained from mentioning the trip to Ida. CHAPTER XIII •‘Won’t you join us at breakfast,! Ida?” Harrow asked. “Why, I would like a little coffee, j thank you. I didn’t stop to eat ” I “None of us did,” Kay said. “Isn’t Pete coming!” Ida asked. Harrow looked quizzically from one girl torthe other, not realizing Kay could see his expression. “No, he wasn’t able to make it, Kay said. “He’ll be busy today about a job.” "Oh, is he leaving the beach? “He’s leaving the country.” Kay said. . . , , Harrow looked at her curiously “He is?" Ida asked. Kay nodded. “He’s going to Guatemala.” “Wonderful country," Harrow commented. “1 was there in 1928. Had a grand time." . That started Ida and Harrow dis- < cussing their travels. Gradually, Kay was beginning to drift farther and farther away from them. She wondered if they were conscious of the fact that she was sitting at the table with them- This talk of foreign cities and celebrities was Ida’s opportunity: she had travelled and met people. . While they were finishing their coffee the Commander 111 began to move away from the dock out toward the river channel and in a few minutes they were headed south, making good smooth speed on the calm water. They had passed through the Port Orange Bridge below Daytona Beach before they went up on deck. They watched the sun rise out of the ocean and appear over the narrow peninsula on their left, they watched Port Orange and Wilbur drop into the distance, and saw the slim lighthouse grow nearer, and within ' what seemed a very short time they were at the inlet, and there was a different feeling about the boat as the open ocean began to assert itself, calm though it was. The Commander 111 headed east, into the rising sun and for several minutes no one spoke, the beauty was so impressive. Behind them the peninsula of Florida was dropping back; ahead was the incredible horizon; beside them the water was changing from the salty greenblue of the shore to an increasingly clear radiant blue to be seen only under southern sun and sky. “We can go as far as you like, Mr. Harrow,” Kay suggested. “We’ll be coming to the snapper banks in a few miles now, or we can go down the coast and away out.” “I’ll leave all that to you,” Harrow said. "Just now I think I’ll go haul Spike out of bed. I hate • having him miss this.” When Harrow had gone, Ida : Campbell asked, "Found a job yet, 1 Kay!” < “I’m not sure,” Kay answered, i “I’ve something tnat looks promis- i ing.” "It mustn’t be easy finding work i here at this time of the year,” Ida i observed. “That is, compared with i the city where there’s so much mors < to do.’* “That will have to wait,” Kay < said. 1 Ida smiled. "I’m going up in a i little while. I may wait until Earl is on his way back up from Havana ; and ride up with him.” “That would be nice,” Kay re- I “I think so," Ida said. 1 “Well,” Earl Harrow announced, < appearing from behind tn«». 1 “here’s our Mr. Winch, aiive and conscious bes • noon.

Would Eliminate State Tax On Beer Indianopolls, Ind., Nov. 28—(UP) A uniform price of five cents tor a glass of beer, to lie made -possible through reduction of state and federal taxes on the beverage, was the main ipoint today in a legislative program drafted at a meeting of the Indiana retail beer dealers here. The dealers plan a vigorously lobby of the next session of the gen-

la suit of purple till: pajamas. He needed a shave. “Ugh." he grumbled, or something equally brief and convincing. But when he had had his coffee and had broken out his first cigar of the day. Spike was his usual shrewd, humorous self. Kay was grateful for his presence; he kept tension from the air. The fishing was fairly good. First honors went to Harrow who pulled in a flapping angel fish. Ida hooked a heavy flounder but lost it trying to bring it up. Kay’s first was a mackerel, lean, trim, bluish. Stopping early in the afternoon, the party nad cocktails while waiting for a lunch of some of the freshly caught fish. Kay was rather quiet, wondering when she could

draw Harrow into private conversation about the job. It was a topic she dreaded opening again, especially now that I6a Campbell was along. Kay had counted on being alone with Harrow—that is to say, with Harrow and Spike—on this trip, but as usual here was Ida breaking into her plans. Kay found herself beginning to dislike the arch blonde; formerly she had been merely a little annoyed. After lunch they went back to the fishing. Spike, leaning close to Kay, and raptly chewing his stub of a cigar, hooked a small fish and had reeled it up into plain sight when a solid, brown body, sinister as a torpedo, moved close to it. Spike was so excited he jerked his rod and his fish flew up out of the water, released from the hook, and flapped down, gratefully, to disappear with incredible speed. Spike looked solemnly at Kay. “Did you sec that thing?” he asked. Kay turned to him and smiled. They were removed from Harrow and Ida who were at the moment trying the port side. “Shark, Spike," she said. “Shark? Did you see him go for that fish of mine? Am I glad that wasn’t my leg. You wouldn’t get me to go into that water for a million.” “If you’ll watch, you'll probably see a lot more of them,” Kay noted. “They say, you know, that they don’t attack you. I’ve grown up down here and I’ve never seen anyone bitten by one yet. A barracuda, yes—they’re worse farther couth, down around Miami—but not a shark, in these waters. Still, there’s always if first time, and they are equipped for the job.” ‘‘And how they are!” Spike exclaimed. hi* voice low with awe. “Why that looked like a submarine with teeth!" “Just watch," Kay said, “and you'll see mdre of them around. That one probably was after your fish all, right.” "Anu if it comes to an argument he can have the fish,” Spike conceded. “What would you do if you hooked one of those whales?" “Bring him in. It wouldn’t be the f’rst shark I’ve caught." ve caught sharlcs?" “Plen’v of them. Never as big ‘ as that, though." There wat> a sudden cry from
