A Sound Investment In Health I and Economy H w I Modem 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.

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.

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.” LUCKYGUY!
