He Finally Found a Man He Could Trade With

Here is the best story of the war, so far, and it is getting plenty of fast circulation:

A tourist, driving away back in the mountains of Arkansas, ciune on a typical little Hill-Billy general store, stuck away back in a road corner. It being about noon, the tourist stopped to buy a loaf of bread. As the Hill-Bilty storekeeper was wrapping up the bread, the tourist said to him:

I'll bet Douglas MacArthur would like to have a loaf of bread like that right now."

The stgrekeeper said: t'Who?"

Make Northwest Air Trip

Arthur Griswold, manager of the San Francisco office of C. D. Johnson Lumber Corporation, and Mel Salomon, sales manager of Smith Lumber Company, were back at their desks May 11 after a round trip by plane to Portland.

The tourist said: "Douglas MacArthur."

The storekeeper said:

"Who's he?" \

The tourist said: "He's the big general in this war."

The storekeeper said: "What war?"

The tourist said: "Skip it. Give me those four tires and a hundred pounds of sugar."
