Office Boy Makes
Big Profit After His
Boss Rejects Offer

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.--How an
office boy seized his opportunity
after his boss had refused it and
then made more than ten thousand
per cent on his investment was told
here by w. Irving Glover, third
assistant postmaster general.
Pointing to a small stamp in the
collection on display here from the
international stamp exhibition in
London last May, picturing mail
airplane enormously inverted, he
said a block of 100 of the stamps
were rendered prospective buyer
in New York before the misprint
was discovered.
The buyers refused the block be-
cause of the error, but an office boy
standing back of him purchased the
lot at their face value of $24. The
stamps became a rarity and he is
said to have sold the entire lot
later to Colonel e. r. Green, son of
the late Mrs. Hetty Green, for
50. 800.

mitted one or two fof the young peo-
p pie from the outside. These, the
mayor would order put out imme-

At last, after an hour Of running
O. about in his attempts to keep the
gathering crowd out, the mayor be-

inattention, the crowd opened one
Of the great doors and rushed in.
Among the merrymakers were the
chief Of police and great many

Georgia Lima Bean
Growers Getting High
Price for Big Crop

Georgia farmers beat California
growers several weeks in the pro-
duction of a record lima bean crop,
and are reaping a splendid reward
for their work, officials of the state
bureau of markets declared Wednes-
day. Several Georgia growers have
realized eleven cents per pound for
their lima beans, and the average
production is running from 1900 to
1900 pounds per acre.
Officials of the bureau found that
the California growers had closed a
contract early in the summer for fu-
ture deliveries of lima beans at
eight and a quarter cents per pound,
making the crop very profitable.
The Market Bulletin this week
urges Georgia farmers to market
their lima beans at once, as the
prevailing price is now ten and
eleven cents per pound, but it prob
ably will drop when the California
crop is delivered, beginning Octo.

PRINCE Of WALES
GREETED BY CROWD
DESPITE DISGUISE

QUEBEC, Sept. 12.-By the Asso
plated Pres)-The Baron OF RenfreW
arrived in Quebec today. The Baron
BIZ Ren:rew ia mono other than His
Royal Highness. the Prince Of Wales
heir to England's throne.
firing OF being hailed as the future
ruler OF the British empire, the
Prince OF Wales chose one of his
many other titles to travel under and
thus escape the formalities accorded
b parsonage of royal blood. In short
he wanted to dodge the plaudits OF
the multitudes, enter Canada quiet
1y and be on his way to his Alberta
ranch where, the papers say, he viii!

kitude?
He did not. A prince is a prince,
even though he be only baron, fig
ured the residents of Quebec. There
. fore, the baron being a prince, a
princely welcome was in order.
Bright and early did the crowds
gather at the pier to meet Baron
Renfrew Tor was it the Prince of
Wales they really came to see) and
rs the Empress of France steamed
to her dock a lusty cheer greeted the
J man who, only four years before, had
won the hearts of Canadians and
Americans with his smile.
Being Oily a baron, the Prince of
Wales did not even use a special cut
ten in which to reach the shore.
There were no officials to accord him
an official reception, but the unof-
fetal one made up for that. Even
ON the ship he could not escape the
"pitiless glare of publicity" News
paper correspondents accompanied
him and sent wireless messages
about his trip.
Despite the crowds at the pier to-
day, however, Baron RenfreW's visit
to the American continent is sharp
1y contrasted to the one the Prince
of Wales made four years ago. Then
he toured the continent, was greeted
everywhere by huge crowds, attend
ed numberless social functions and
danced with even more untold num-
bers of American and Canadian girls.
He made many speeches and officiat-
ed at many functions such as laying
corner stones, planting trees and
decorating troops.
Today Baron Renfrew came to
Canada for a holiday. He went
from the ship to the Chateau From
tenac on the bluffs, where, from his
window he could gaze down upon the
broad St Lawrence river Tomor-
row he will travel on a private car,
attached to a regular train, to AL
berta. That will be the end of cere-
monies.
On the ranch Baron Renfrew will
live as rancher. He will ride horses
in western saddle; will be up early
and In bed early; dancing partners
are warned to keep away, and in
short, the Prince Of Wales-pardon
Baron Renfrew, will lead the sim
pie life and, as the papers say, eat
boarding house hash and other sim
pie fare.
