However, the salaries are the envy of many administrators of other fed eral agencies who have found no opportunity to crowd so many 10,-000-e.-ycar men on the payroll. In government service a 10,000-a-year salary la quite some punklns, and no wonder, it being fair to middling pay in any field. Jesse Jones, the Texas banker and builder, whose own 910,000 federal pay check probably isn't a tithe of his annual Income, heads the organ' lzatlon, whoso credit has been ex tended Into many major and minor Industries directly or Indirectly since It was created under the Hoover administration. It really blossomed out under President Roosevelt. High class banking help always has come high throughout the agea and reports are that the amiable Mr. Jones has had to use some of his most eager persuasion to get some of his men to leave old Jobs to Join the RFC even at $10,000 a year, although needless to say the same Is not true of all. Altogether the Washington payroll of RFC has 31 names listed at 910.000 a 'year and one, Lynn P. Talley of Dallas, Texas, asslntant to the direc tors, who is down for 913,500 a year more than Chairman Jonee himself or any of the other board members. Talley at present is on leave without pay because of extended Illness. But RFC is a big outfit and seems to need costly men to handle a lino of credit extended partly to private agencies and partly to government agencies to a grand total of $9,832, 470,000. Of Its total loans, $5,337,- 877,000 has been repaid. INVITE FRUIT GROWERS TO FERN VALLEY MEET FERN VALLKY, Nov. 15. (Spl.) Fern Valley fruit growers will hold a meeting at 8 p. m.

Davis, director of research for the Farm Equipment Institute, be lieves farm surpluses wouldn't be such a troublesome problem. Davis points to men motoring to work, children riding to school, housewives sweeping with electricity as examples of the modern easy life. Less food la required to generate the energy for today's life, he aays. Davis cited figures showing the per capita consumption of wheat de clined 11.3 per cent from 6.2 bush els per person for the 1900-09 decade to 6.6 bushels for the 1020 35 decade, while per capita corn consumption dropped 35.4 per cent, from 30.2 bushels to 10.5. He also reported that the average number ot cattle on farms declined 29.6 per cent. "At the beginning of the century," David said, "workmen used more energy. They didn't have the me chanical aids. Many walked to work and carried lunch buckets almost twice as large as they do nowadays. Working hours were longer, too. "Thousands of children walked to school and home again. Housewives didn't have the electrical equipment they now use In their dally work. "Naturally people do not burn up aa much energy as formerly, and consequently do not consume as much food." Davis said that some people be lieve the machine Is responsible for surpluses. "Most data available," he said, "In dicate farmers have not kept pace with the growing population In pro duction of most of their products. Instead, figures indicate under-con-sumptlon as one of the principal causes of surpluses." Weather. Northern California: Pair tonight and Thursday; local morning frosts in Interior; unsettled extreme north coast; gentle to moderate northwest wind off coast. Oregon: Unsettled tonight and Thursday; occasional rain west and light local rains or snow east por tion: snows over Cascade range; lit tle change in temperature; fresh and strong west backing to south wind off coast.

'JUICE' IN THE WIRE DOES THE WORK You can't tell the difference by looking at the wires, because a "hot" one looks the same as a dead one. But you can tell when you try to make them work for it's the "juice" in the wire that makes the sweep er sweep, the toaster toast, and the washer wash. Advertisers can buy space that looks the same. Htrt it takes the spark of real reader interest to produce results. It's the "juice" in the wire that transmits mil lions of words every day from every country in the world to newspapers. Newspapers provide intensity of interest because they supply news and entertain ment features that appeal to everyone. It is that in terest that gets results for advertisers.
