New York uP) A brood upward

GREAT QUANTITY MARKET
A sudden spurt in the hop market
disposed of 1538 bales sold at from
10 to 13 cents. It Is figured that
it costs about 15 cents a pound to
produce the hops. This means that
a vaH quantity of hops must move,
because if any money is made a
heck of a Jot of hops that are pro
duced at 15 cents has to b? sold at
13 cents to get much of a profit out

We used to think that fpinnach
was something that was applied
externally and to hang from the
chin as an ornament. For instance
Doc Mercer has been one of the
great exponents of the -old-time
splnnach school around here for a
good many years, although not
working as hard at it as he used to,
or else he has had a halfway crop
failure.
But we ran into Doc Lebold the
other day and he told us we was
getting fat and we should apply
this splnnach stuff internally. We
used to see Gus Kehrberger chew a
way at his externally applied .spin
nach crop but never saw him swal
low any of the stuff. In the old days
Gus used to use his spinnach m
whistle through. He would get a
lot of foam on it and then draw In
a deep breath with a noise that
sounded like the city fire siren.
But It seems, according to Doc
Lebold. the way to reduce is to
take spinnach and twallow it right
down. A spinnach a day keeps the
doctor away, as it were.
We got a notion to go around
to Doc Mercer or Gas Kehrber
ger and see if they'll loan as a

ASK GRANGE TO

Seattle UP) A plea for support
for the federal farm board was ad

grange Wednesday by Charles 8.
Wilson, of the board, who said they
could be of great assistance by do
ing all possible to encourage the
cooperative marketing movement.
'We believe that the farm organi
zations, and particularly the grange
with its long history of service to
agriculture, can be of greal assist
ance," Wilson said, suggesting that
the local, county and state granges
give support and guidance to the
cooperative associations . within
their territory. He also suggested
that the local granges devote much
time to a study of the farmers'
marketing problems.
In addition, Wilson discussed In
a general way .the policies of the
farm board and told of what had
already been done to assist the
grain, wool, mohair, livestock and
other groups of cooperative associ
ations to organize the national com
modity marketing agencies.
."The time is past when coopera
tive market ins can be based on
propaganda.' he said, "it Is time
now for frank and informed discus-
sion of the farmers' marketing
problems and of necessity of. the
farmers becoming able to under
stand and meet these problems
upon their own initiative."

REPARATIONS
CONFERENCE TO
BE POSTPONED
Paris (IP) The extremist swing In
the German municipal elections
seemed Wednesday to have con
vinced France that the second
Hague reparations conference
should not be held before January,
notwithstanding Germany's insist-1
ent plea that It convene in Decern-!
ber.
At a conference with Leopold
Von Hoesch, German ambassador
to Paris, Foreign Minister Arlstide
Briand Tuesday indicated France's
stand for the later meeting. In
answer to Von Hoesch's expressions,
pointing out the advantages which
a December meeting would mean
to his government in dealing with
domestic problems, Briand assert
ed that preliminary work of the
conference was as yet incomplete
and with the eastern reparations
conference in a deadlock there ap
peared little prospect of completion
before January 1.
The German government has de
sired to open The Hague meeting
Deiore December 22 when the Gcr
man people vote on the nationalist
referendum opposing acceptance of
the Young plan. But France is
not willing to accept the belief that
nationalist referendum can have
no effect on Germany's acceptance
of the Young plan and refuses to
consider sinning a reparations
agreement until the referendum is
completed.
In addition to this fear, which
was greatly accentuated by the re
sults of Sunday's elections through
out Germany, there Is growing anx
iety over me iaiiure or the non
German reparations conference to
break the deadlock which followed
difference over the avparations of
