To be sure, the Investor ordinarily has to be cold before making use of the machine, but lta presence in some convenient locality sparea him the effort of getting in touch with a salesman to close the deal. When procuring a policy through the vending machine, the purchaser inserts enough money to pay his first premium, receiving a receipt and a contract. All he has to do then. Is to fill out the contract and send it into the company. Ne Snippy Clerks. Use of automatic frozen food machines has withstood tests in big chain outlets and with the trend marts there are toward prospects for increasing installation of these vendors. Indeed, Nathan Cummings, president of the Consolidated Grocers Inc., who is considered one of the sharpest fo:d merchandisers In the industry, declared it is possible to foresee enm- pletely automatic grocery markets.

OBLAXDO, tom his ed ii ARIZ. Long regard a desert and the clumain ol cows, dogies and cowboys, Arizona rapidly is becoming one of the best truck gardens in the n: c- - n through the magic of irrigation. The stale's output of vegetables last year netted farmers 38 millior " lera-lm- ' I dollars, reports Dr. George Barr, Uniof economist agricultural versity of Arizona agricultural experiment station. As a producer of revenue, the romantic cattle industry has beer shoved back into a poor second place with its total of 29 millior dollars In 194S. Dr. Barr says. considercc Although generally Arizona's biggest agricultural crop cotton nnw lags far behind one vegehead lettuce. Cotton lipi table and cottonseed last year prnriucec 17 million dollars: head lettuce more than 20 million dollars. The infant truck farming imi'.ts try to dale has beer, confined to twe comparatively small areas in Sal' river valley near Phoenix ar.c Yuma valley. Both are well irrigated. But Yvonne had married well, took her She complacently large share of the inheritance, even though a good many periona felt that under the circumstance! Dolores should have had half. Thing went on for a year or two, and then, lost in a book, another later will waa found making a fair even division of the estate. This was awkward for Yvonne and her husband; they had spent. Invested, shifted thing about, they had to put up far more cecurity than was normal for thi was in the heart of the depression, and values were low. It seriously crumped and embarrassed them; in the end Dolores got the old homestead. too. That was mnre than 20 years ago. The sisters have never been friends inee. Dolores would be amiable enough, for she has no grievance, but Yvonne is adamant She has cruel nursed wlint she calls the injustice of mama's will." Her husband tells you gravely that she never will get over it." Her daughter repeats user.'.fully that once Aunt Dolores did something horrible to mama." If you ask Yvonne straight out what was unjust, what was horrible about it, she purses up her lips, sighs and says that no one will ever know what it did to her nerve, and she never can forgive Dolores Smouldering Bitterness. Yvonne and Alan have done well. They have a handsome home, two cars. c untry club membership, a large circle of friends. Their only son had a good war record; their only daughter is married well. But Yvunrie grieves on. That Dolores should have gotten the airiylhyst set and the store, and then, when Alan's were at their lowest, fortune should have come in with this claim for so much more it's just not bearable. Yvonne has ruined her own life, smouldering for all these years over Dolores' luck. Had her mother been without mean and dependent upon Alan and Yvonne, no such situation could have arisen. Thousand of old perwithout finansons are entirely cial resources; that might have been her case. Her son might have been lost in the war, as so many thousands of boys were. Her daughter's painful cold and fever last winter might have been infantile paralysis. Alan might fall in love with some younger and mnre fascinating woman. She herself might be told, by the family doctor, that the annoying little lump in her side meant long and agonizing illness. There are real troubles in this life and these are a few of them. But to go on brooding over a property division that was decided unfairly in her favor in the first place, exaggerate it and dwell on it, to eme bitter family relations and her own family that mother received a staugeriug and unforgettable blow - this is sheer slupiil-ly- .
