WANT WHAT THEY CAN'T GET.

''The New York people," said big wholesale meat dealer the other day. always want what they can't get. or at least what is the hardest to get. The price makes no difference. That may sound a triflc exaggerated, but it's so close to an actual fact that our firm has come to figure on it as a certainty. If there is a scarcity of lamb. you can be sure that the de- mand for lamb will increase. If the retail butcher tells his customers that pork is scarce and the price is up. it's an absolute safe bet that New York will develop a sudden hanker- ing for pork chops and other pig products. New Workers. the rich and the poor alike. have no idea of econ- omy in feeding themselves. They want what they want when they want it. and it is usually the thing that is bringing the highest price or that the butcher finds the most trouble in getting. York Sun.
