Pennsylvania Farmers
 Still Barter Products

BLOOMSBURG, Sept. 7-Bartcr still is a much used form of busi- ness transaction in many Pennsyl- vania districts, and there are many farmers earning a good livelihood who see comparatively little cash in year.
 Butter and eggs are their stock in trade, with meat in season. Poultry and vegetables likewise are exchanged for groceries, wear ing apparel and other articles.
 There are stores in the smaller sowns and cities catering particu- larly to this class of trade, where the custom of a quarter century ago of giving due bills" still pre- vails.
 The due bills" are credit slips, and the hired man, in years gone by, was paid with due bills" at the end of the month. Today he demands and receives cash, and if the farmer is insistent he can ob- tain cash from the stores with which he deals, instead Of the due bills

Tn the exclusive if not exactly cloistered atmosphere of the Prince ton Club, few years ago, Gene Tunney and William Muldoon were the principal guests of honor. The heavyweight champion talked on the advantages of education, of !. the lessons to be gained from box ing-in other words of the su- premacy of mind over matter.
 Muldoon, the graybeard who managed John L. Sullivan before Tunney was born, harked back to the days when he wrestled in bar rooms of an evening for purse Of $5.
 As rapt a listener as any around the luncheon table was Tommy Loughran, then just an ambitious light heavyweight. He hardly could be blamed for considering that the career of Tunney, who had just won the worlds heavyweight cham pionship through his skill as boxer, was preferable to the rough and tumble life Of Muldoon.
 If Loughran wins recognition as the next worlds heavyweight title holder, and it is no long-shot eith- CT that he won't, it will be due in no small part to the influence O. bTunney upon the career of the clever Philadelphian Tommy's left jab and speed will carry him far. Most successful fighters have pat termed their style, or taken their ideal from some previous star.
 Dempsey thought Sullivan was 'the works" Tunney preferred Corbett's example. Al. Singer, the newest lightweight sensation, has patterned his style after Benny Aeonard'S.
 Because he has been shifted around half the National League tcircuit within the past few years, the idea has grown that Rogers Hornsby is something of bad ac- tor, or at least a difficult citizen to handle.
 It doesn't take more than a five minute chat with Joe McCarty, boss of the pennant- prospecting Chicago Cubs, to dispose of any thought that Rogers is tempera- mental.
 'Hornsby may prefer his own company off the field" said Joe. That's none of my business, but on the field he is one of the best team workers I have ever had. He works for the club all the way and : does evewr..ing he can to give oth-.

NEW YORK, Sept. "A big gruef butcher and talkative mechanic, flanked by a secretary, an inter preter and "a personal represen- tative,' have pitched camp in New York.
 Their next move, which will te personally t ende d to by the butcher, will be an indirect thrust toward the heavyweight boxin g championship of the world.
 The butcher is Signor Victoria Campolo. who quit swinging a meat axe in his fathers shop in South America, to swing his fists at tn jaws of the heavyweight challen- gers.
 The mechanic is Gustavo Lenevc. He is Campolos manager. Lene'e, between hours in a Buenos Aires machine shop, induced the worlds biggest butcher to become tie worlds biggest fighter.
 You find this pretentious pugilis- tic pack ill ritzy Ninety-seventh street apartment. And if you are patient you can get an audience with Signor Campolo.
 It's something like invading tn :, sanctum of the League of Nations. this business of calling on the sig nor.
 Campolo was born in Italy, but was reared in South America. Le- neve, his manager, is a French Jew. The interpreter, of course, $ from the Argentine country. His secretary likewise does hls talking in Spanish. The English-speaking members of the group are the per . sonal representative" and the in terpreter.
 Spend 10 minutes in this uptown establishment and you learn that Campolo will win the title in 19c0; that his second major ambitipr is to own the most expensive Ylj+'~ car in the United States; that h. will bring his mother, father. six brothers and three sisters to Ameri- ca on a sightseeing tour afts' he wins the crown, and that the e- nor's fondest hope is to get Max Schmeling into regulation ring and pound out revenge for the

 Campolo, the biggest he avy~ weight prize since the captive days of Firpo and Willard, proved that he had something besides a reac1 eight inches greater than Jack Dempsey, when he stopped T. l Heeney in nine rounds.
 What he will be able to do against first raters with his six foot six-inch frame, weighing 23o pounds, is something the seasoned critics disagree about.
 Some of them like that great battle cry of the little fellows-the bigger they are the harder they fall. Others recognize the signor as an outstanding challenge.

LITERARY CLOWNING

There are many pious souls throughout the land who are dis tressed that H. l.. Mencken turns our foibles to such account as to make us laugh at ourselves-or at Mir. Mencken. When we look into the boudoir mirror We do not care to laugh at what we see. But that is no argument against mirrors. MT. Menckcn, although presuming to mirror the great American show, puts many in mind of the trick mirrors shown in amusement parks. They show us up in ridiculous forms: too high, too wide and in dozens of other hilarious optical twists.
 Though America has it's trick mirror in Mr. Mencken. there is an- other of the same manufacture in England. Obviously, this refers to George Bernard Shaw. The English man is superior to Mir. Mencken in one respect, however. in that he is assured of much wider publicity. Whenever Mir. Shaw bellows the cables to America carry his "mas- sage, :, and the newspapers are as- sured of another haIf-pal1ev of mirthprovoking copy. That must be due to the fact that Mir. Shaw is not as commercial as MT. Mencken. he not copyrighting his stuff. One can quote MT. Shaw at length without paying damages for breaking the copyright law; but Mir. Mencken. true to the Rotarian and Chamber of Commerce ideals he is at nains +o f'HlcuIe, Is more particular. The man at heart must be one of the hove who could grace a luncheon club and scarcely give the impression he '''''" "'LohS with the prosperous Eo-get'ers usually found there.
 The latest blast of Mir Shaw was q witty attack upon the parliamentary system. Those who are not vet ac- fualnted with the most advanced steps Of the worlds intelligentsia should realize now, before they have been fooled too often. that it is con- sider"d sophisticated to discredit all forms ot democracy. This makes it easy 10 be one Of the intelligentsia. There are . few other formulas. of course, but this one about the folly of democracy is the most important. most easily remembered, and conse- quently when parroted stamps one as far superior to the common

THE CITY AND DESERVING MEN

Men who depend upon digging trenches street repairs, and similar lines of outdoor employment throughout the summer meet with reverses as the autumn ushers in the chilly season. Mayor Paonessa noting an increasing number of men who have failed to find a continu- alton of the work which kept them busy throughout the summer, has taken notice and thinks the city, fac ed with a social problem, should hurry along certain contemplated Improvements that have Jagged long hut which by almost common con- sent need to be consummated soon. Let the haggling cease, ruminates the mayor, and permit the work to begin; then numerous men who are at the service of the city will obtain necessary employment to maintain their families and thus add to the City's prosperity. The money they earn will go into general circulation, home life will be spared the woes of depleted eXchequer, the city charity department will be aided in- directly, and the city will gain in completing the necessary improve ments.
 This unquestionably is not idealism but is coupled with practicality and sound economics. Regardless of the furore created by taxpayers who ob- ject against almost all types of civic expenditures, there has been no in- diCation that the cause of civic inn provements will suffer. The mayor apparently takes the view that work which within reason must be done can be as well performed when many men need the work as during the summer months when their ranks are thin. This humanitarian conception of civic duty is a com mendable trait

STOP

Among divers equipment possessed by the city is huge stencil when, when placed on a pavement by q citv artist adept at using paint and brush, leaves the word stop brlstling in huge letters. With such a stencil there is no chance of the sign painter misspelling the Word' said to be a common failing of sign painters. And the object of the mon- ster lettering, of course, is to im- press oncoming autoists who can read that point has been reached where a little irritation coupled with patience is necessary.
 The city, like an individual learns by experience. It will be remember ed that after stop signs were plac- ed at intersecting streets along the West Main street boulevard q driver from East Berlin drove down the hill leading out of Walnut Hill park and right past the signal. A gendarme. noting the lapse, promptly arrested the culprit. But in police court the good man convinced the judge that due to the turn in the road at that point his light did not disclose the stop sign and therefore he did not see it.
 The shock that convulsed the traffic department after this decision immediately resulted in another stop sign being placed on the other side of the highway at the point. Not satisfied with this. however, the traffic department has gone-or is going-even further. Orders were is sued to the white paint artists, and neat. broad bands have been paint ed at the entrance. An autoist would have to be blind not to see them.
 But even that, it seems, is not enough To make the boulevard sys- tenn airtight the department has had recourse to the big stop" stencil, and at other points along the inter secting streets.
 This is a meticulously methodical town.
