A Warrior “Boiled” One recent hot day on Broadway a knight in full chain-mail armor with a steel helmet stood on the corner, right in the hot sun. His “pennant” told where one could get a fine manicure. Just another sandwich man. I went up to him and asked him, “Why, you poor simp, don’t you go over and stand in the shade?” The sweat poured down his face, inside of his visor. It must have been worse than a Turkish bath or painting the roof of a shed in July down in Florida! “Say,” he rejoined, “what do you think I am? I’d do it in a minute but I’m under orders to stand where the sun shines on my hel met!” And that was that. No Billboards New York City is the center, along with Chicago, of the bill board industry. Some $14,000,000 a year comes here from the renters of country-side displays. But do they take their own medicine? They Jc not. Walking in Central Park, right in the heart of the big town, one can see miles of skyscrapers that border the park. As far as the eye can see, there is not a single line of print anywhere, barring building which carries lust the ad dress—15 E. 69—or something like it. They’re just throwing away million dollars a year by not car rying signs for somebody’s soap, or tooth powder or something. Just imagine a notice over the Metro politan Museum^-“all statues inside cleaned by Purity Soap.” No fun nier than destroying ;he beauty of some sylvan scene. , Had a Real Bug Insect exterminators ply their profitable trade in all big cities. How profitable it was shown here the other day when a tenant who had telephoned for a man to chase a mouse away, fell into talk with the bug killer. He gave his name as John L. Whitten, of 307 W. 111th, a fine neighborhood. Then he admitted he “batched” in the top floor there: that he owned the whole building; that his own two rooms were filled with costly antiques and that he owned a collection of Russian gold table service and Japanese clois onne ware that was too valuable to keep stored in a safety deposit vault. Most of his valuables were pick ed up for a song as he haunted second-hand stores in his working clothes and the proprietors of the shop took him for a poor man. Other Poor Men There is another type of man who has been the subject of many “O. Henry” story. The type is the waiter, many of whom build up fortunes from their tips. Of course the big money does not come that way but from confidential tips on the market ^hey overhear while waiting on big financiers, or Asc which are given to them out of kindness by their customers. The other day two stock ex change men were lunching togeth er when one suggested a trip to the race track. His friend asked him if he had any money in his pocket Why, no,” said the first man, “3 thought you had plenty.” Their regular waiter was :iearby and he stepped up to the table. “If you’ll excuse me,” he said, “I couldn’t help overhearing what you were talking about. If one or two hundred would do you any good. I’ll be glad to let you have it.” And then he dug up a roll and skinned off enough twenties so the two could have an afternoon’s amuse ment.

BUTTER PRICES COMPARATIVE LY GOOD; BUTTERFAT PRICE RELATION UNFAVORABLE This statue, which stands near the grotto in France in which bones of the earliest type of European -man were found, represents our earliest- ancestors. X A Real One-Man Band m raw & CLEMSON COLLEGE, Aug. 15.— Only two states, Massachusetts and Florida, paid to producers higher average price for butter than that paid to producers in South Caro lina, according to report of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture as of July 15, 1931. The price in South Carolina was 18 per cent higher than the average for the country as a whole and 22 1-2 per cent higher chan the aver age for the seven West North Cen tral States. . “However,” says O. M. Clark, ex tension farm management econo- Tiist, commenting on the situation, there were 19 states in which the r ices for butterfat were , ~as that paid in South The average oricc in You'll Cr'^lina was four per cent higher than the average nrice for Mie West North Central States. “In South Carolina butterfat >rice was 73 per cent of the butter orioe, in Minnesota it was 96 per eent, and in Wisconsin it was 104 per cent. The great difference be tween the price of butter and of butterfat existing in South Caro lina as compared with some other states would indicate that our creameries are not operated as economically per unit of product as are those in the butter surplus states. This difference is due argely to the difference in the volume of oroduct handled per plant, and therefore it would seem sounder economy under present conditions to undertake to increase ! the volume per creamery rather than establish additional creamer ies.” ,l Uncle GeonJ^^illey, 90, of Sutton, N.
