Al- . though the Federation's state ments have indicated profits, that has been made possible for the past several years, Mr. Clarke said, by pouring in funds the late Mr. McClure had received as donations. Actually, Mr. Clarke said, the Federation probably has made no profits for five or six years. The youthful president, who took over only about two years ago. urged the stockholders to ask questions; insisted he and the board of directors wanted every thing out in the open and to "do what is right"; and appeared to make no effort to dodge even the most difficult query. Biame Placed He blamed the Federation's plight chiefly on losses by freezer locker plants owned by the Fed eration. losses at its poultry pro cessing plant, and "bad invest ments" over a long period of years.

S wafford's' Sayin's Howdy folks: I've been itchin' all over to tell you a secret, but since I made your O'le Country Grocery so much bigger, I just haven't had a chance. If you men have ever gone home and found that your wife has shifted everything in the house to the other side, you know what I'm up against. I've had to change about everything here. Can't find so, me of it myself. I wanted to tell you some thing last week, but here come a whole supply of new stuff to put up. Everything to cure anything ? and stuff to make you look and smell. Then there's the day all these dry goods came (they call 'em soft goods) and the time these 'lectrlc gadgets had to be put up? then alt the ' new grocery items. Every time there's something new to go on the shelf, things have to be moved and then they have to be put somewhere else. If you come in and can't find what you want ? just look for it ? you're apt to find most any thing here. Maybe sometime? not now. In fact I don't think it's right to tell secrets. Do you? Hundreds of people have come by to see my new store. Have you?
