Smart Cigar Store Clerk Ready With
Apology That by No Means

Herman FelIner tells this story on
himself, according TO the New York
correspondent OF the Cincinnati Times
Star He was in Washington on bust
ness recently and met three or four
friends on the street. After a mo-
ment's chat he beckoned them to
come with him. I'm off the stun, "
said he, but want to buy you each
a cigar"
They happened to be IN front Of a
combination cigar and news stand at
the moment. Led by Mr.. Fellner, they
all trooped IN The clerk hurried to
the cigar case to wait upon them.
Before Mr.. Fellner could indicate his
wishes the clerk had slapped a box
on the glass case. Here y are" said
he. BEST dime smoker in town"
Mr.. Fellner is sort of fussy about
his smokes. He looked at the cigar
then showed the box away. Have
you no other price?" he asked
The clerk showed the box in the
case. Sure thing" said he. my mis-
take and your treat"
Having pulled of this time-worn
witticism, he addressed Mr.. Fellner
confidentially. Your clothes sort o.
fooled me-" said he You fellers are
a pretty well-dressed lot, you know,
Then he put another box on the coun-
ter. Here" said he. "is the best

COSTS LESS THAN 55
CENTS A BUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEAT IN
CANADA.
A FREQUENT QUESTION AN
SWERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
the year Of 1911 than did almost any
other portion OF the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July we're never bet
ter. Crops OF all kinds showed won
derful growth at that time and were
universally good, but there was not
the usually excellent ripenlng weather
in August and the effects OF this we're
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and so bushels yield OF
wheat were reduced to 25 and 80 BUSH
els, while some of course gave the
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face OF these conditions, It is found
that during the months OF September
and October, the total amount of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized total OF 1874 million dollars,
the average price for this wheat be-
ing 97& cents; that below contract
for the two months was a little over
Is million bushels, which at an aver
age price Of S91s cents per bushel
realized a little over eleven million
dollars, or a grand total for all wheat
Of 35 million bushels, which realized
a total of a little over thirty-one mil
lion dollars.
On the first OF November there
was in the hands Of the farmers Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 100 million
bushels of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had Of the value
of the wheat crop of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made OF a number
Of men farming in a large way indi-
Gates that even with the extreme eI-
pense Of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
average freight rate is not over 13
cts. per bushel. This would make the
cost of production and freight 68 cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat OF
171s cts. and for his highgrade wheat
of 1917 cts; and though this is not
as large a profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, 1t is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave a very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses OF
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.

pawnbroking business. the national
and municipal institutions have sue
cessfully combated strong competi-
tion from private concerns that have
been permitted TO charge much higher
rates OF interest,
The pawnshop OF Amsterdam, the
oldest and probably the most lenient
in the world, is known as the Bank
van Leenlng. II has been under the
control Of the municipality since 1914,
and now has fifteen branches through
out the city. The average rate OF
interest is less than 10 per cent. a
year. Still the bank is able TO main
tain a working balance of more than
$1,000,000. In France the pawnbrok-
ing business is strictly government
monopoly, which the Mont do Piete,
the nations pawnbroking concern, has
enjoyed for more than fifty years.
The policy OF advancing only a
small percentage of the actual worth
of the collateral offered is followed in
most European public pawnshops, the
fact that they receive only a small
part of what the collateral was really
worth furnishing the owners with fur
ther incentive to redeem the pledges.
Much the same policy as outlined
in the Dutch and French institutions
Is followed in municipal and govern
mental pawnshops in Germany, Rou-
mania, Italy and Russia. The aver.
age interest charge is about II per
cent, the patrons are protected as
fully as possible and every incentive
Is offered to redeem pledges.
