(U.R) It used to be that a self-respecting cow wouldn't cat the lowly soy bean unless It was exceedingly hungry. But today this once-detestable food Is being made to perform a variety of dietetic functions at the home of Jay N. Judd. Judd is a farmer. He also is one of the growing battalion of men who have taken upon themselves the Job of preaching this gospel: "The soy bean is the greatest health food on earth. Eat it." And Judd practices what he preaches. In some form, soy bean is the base and often an embellish ment of three meals a day sev en days a week in the Judd household. He's manufacturing about two dozen different products from the peanut-sized bean, and that's just a beginning of what he hopes to do during the next few months. Judd says there's a "gold mine" for the Southland In this crop If the people can be con vinced that the bean Is good. Ex tensive consumption of the bean, he asserted, has greatly im proved his health. "There's soy bean milk, for Instance," Judd said. '.'Not only does It look like cow's milk but it actually curdles when it gets a few days old. From this milk my wife makes cottage cheese, butter, and several other things. "Then there's soy bean oil. We use that for making mayon naise, seasoning cakes, flavoring salads and ordinary cooking purposes. "Soy bean malt serves the purpose of standard malts. We nave; a soy bean breakfast cer t"l from which we make muf fins. Our pancakes are made of soy bean flour. "As a matter of fact, you can almost add 'soy bean to every thing we eat." - Even coffee Is being made from the bean at Judd s home. Actually, it doesn't taste like coffee but take it from the Judd family It makes as tasty a beverage, hot or cold. Soy beans crushed and baked by his particular formu laoften serve as the meat dish on Judd's table. Judd says it tastes like pork, "only it's better." Victim Of Storm Port Angeles, Dec. 13.

(IP) A pa per profit of approximately $25,000,000, less interest and storage charges, has accrued to the account of American farm ers who are holding wheat off the market under government loans, grain men estimated to day. A sharp upturn in the price of wheat the past two weeks has lifted market quotations 10 to 20 cents above rates at which the government has lent $112,000,000 on 161,000,000 bushels stored on farms and in warehouses. If producers wish they can redeem this wheat by paying off loans, Interest and storage charges. Then they can sell at market. Grain men pointed out, how ever, that if this were done on a large scale market prices probably would . be affected. Nevertheless, some growers with long Christmas shopping lists have taken advantage of the opportunity. The loan program, designed to enable producers to delay marketing until prices are ad vantageous, already has given farmers control of their wheat six months or more after har vest In some cases. Loans will not mature until April 30, 1940. BRITAIN, FRANCE CUT FAR EASTERN FORCES Shanghai, Dec. 13.

Less than a week ago Bob and I were having a sad case of doldrums! Reason? No ready cash with which to buy Christmas gifts, and we just couldn't let our selves get in debt. Then Bob thought of the Classified Ads and without telling me, he placed an ad mention ing the things like Mary's baby carriage and Brother's three wheel bicycle, our old gas heater and Bob's old golf clubs which we had no more use for. Sure enough, Bob sold everything and handed me the cash with which to Christmas-shop for the family. We're happy. And the folks who bought those former posses sions of ours at low cost will have a merrier Christmas too. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE V
