AIR-CONDITIONED
Refrigerators
A modern ice refrigerator will cost you only half
the amount you are figuring on spending. It will
use so little ice that the ice service man need come
only once in several days. Foods stay fresh longer
because they don’t dry out. Strong food odors don’t
taint other foods . . . because, they are quickly car
ried away through the air-conditioning chamber. In
this way foods retain all their natural nourishment
and there is no loss through spoilage. Only ICE can
give this kind of refrigeration.

IMPORT TAX CAUSES CHAGRIN
NEW GOVERNMENT LAW* HARD ON VOYJGERS COMING
HOME FROM EUROPEAN CONQUESTS/
NEW YORK, June 29 (TP)—The
air over several waterfront piers Is
bright blue this morning. Angry pdo
tests sent up by home-coming voy
agers who met face to face with the
new federal liquor import tax colored
the atmosphere with a sulphuric tint
which will be a long time wearing
off.
The new tax regulations admit only
one gallon of forelgn-distilled liquor,
tax free, instead of the SIOO w'orth
which used to be admitted duty free.
Passengers on incoming ships, w’ho
had bought liquor up to the SIOO limit,
waged bitter protests when customs
officers slapped on the heavy new
taxes.
Arguments in the customs sheds
held up the clearing of the liner
“Corinthia’s” baggage for three hours.
Passengers aboard the liner *‘Peten”
were also slow yesterday in clearing
their luggage. Most of the passengers
left their liquor imports in escrow.
A few paid the stiff duty and others
told the customs officers to do what
ever they wanted with the taxable
bottled goods.
Many a wobbly home-comer zig
zagged down the gangplank when the
“Corinthia” and “Peten” docked.
Warned that anew tax on liquor
had gone into effect at Saturday mid
night, many passengers held open
house in their cabins as the “Cor
inthia” and the “Peten” steamed up
New York Bay. The results were
clearly seen in the stuttering and
stumbling that went on in the cus
toms sheds.
“AAA RESPONSIBLE
FOR HUGE RAISE”
SO SAYS DAVIS REFERRING
TO FARM IN
COMES
WASHINGTON, June 29 (TP)
New dealers are going in for a bit of
the old-fashioned “pointing with
pride” business today as they refer to
the report offered by Agricultural Ad
justment Administrator Chester C.
Davis.
Davis, who is leaving the triple “A”
job to become a member of the Fed
eral Reserve board, gave an account
of his stewardship covering the years
between inauguration of the New
Deal and up to Jan. 1, 1936.
Davis maintained farm income from
cotton, corn, hogs, wheat and tobac
co, rose 90 per cent during the three
year period. He placed the 1932 in
come on the five major farm prod
ucts at $1,365,000,000 and estiamted
the 1935 income on the same crops
at $2,593,000.
FARMERS URGE
UNITED FRONT
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION IS
TO DISCUSS MORTGAGE
FORECLOSURES
ST. PAUL, Minn., June 29 (TP). —
Farmers of 25 states are answering a
call today to unite and face their
problems with a “United Front.**
The call was sent out by the Na
tional Farmer's Holiday Association.
The asociatlon called farm strikes
two years ago in protest against fore
closures of mortgages on farms. As
sociation leaders will open a nation
al convention in St. Paul tomorrow
and plan united action with other
farm groups. Major problems to be
considered are the current drought
situation and farm foreclosures. The
association president, John Bosch,
says mortgage foreclosures still are a
major t threat to the nation’s farms.
Said Bosch —“The number of farm
foreclosures is actually increasing.
In 1935 there was a crop and every
creditor tried to collect everything
the crop produced. Farm lands rose
slightly in value and creditors are
seeking the opportunity to cash in.”

MILWAUKEE CROWNS THE
BEER-DRINKING CHAM
PION OF WORLD
MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 29 (TP)
—Ray Duval weighs only 180 pounds,
but he’s champion beer drinker of
Milwaukee—if not of the entire world.
Each year the famous brewing cap
ital of Wisconsin holds a competition
to determine who can down the larg
est quantity of beer in the shortest
space of time. Duval won the crown
before a gallery of 23 000 persons—
by drinking a half-gallon of suds In
19 seconds, no more and no less. Du
val’s nearest competitor, Floyd Ver
ette, weighs 340 pounds and it took
him 33 seconds toj>ut his half gallon
of beer down the Thatch.
The new champion’s manager, even
so. is not entirely satisfied. He said
today:
“Why, my boy could have done
better. Only a few days ago he
turned his beer pail bottom up on
the table and thumped it In 14 sec
onds after hoisting it to his mouth.
I guess he was nervous with all those
23,000 persons looking on.”

SULTS OF TALKS
DES MOINES, lowa, June 29 (TP)
The Union party’s presidential can
didate, Congressman William Lemke
of North Dakota, went into an early
conference with his campaign man
agers today.
Lemke is anxious to determine the
popular reaction to the first two
stump speeches of his lowa cam
paign. His assistants predict lowa
will go for the Union party when the
November elections roll around.
In his addresses at Burlington and
Des Moines, Lemke opened up his
heaviest guns at the Republicans and
Democrats. Said he—“lt wasn’t
three long years—it was seven long
years. Hoover belongs in the same
class with Roosevelt and Landon.”
The congressman slashed at what
he called a “New deal with all the
cards stacked.” Then he saved his
choicest bits of criticism for Secre
tary of Agriculture Wallace. Said
Lemke—“ Wallace took a dollar from
the pocket of the farmer for every
dime he put back through the Triple
“A.”
