Sandwich Man
"A certain sandwich man, re-
ports Jack Arthur, has been work
ing around Radio City and. has
become a familiar sight to- the
folks in that vicinity. At noon
each day he turns his signs inside
out and walks around for an
hour with the blank boards show
ing. Then he returns the signs
to their correct position.
Yesterday, his curiosity aroused,
stenographer asked him the rea-
son for his strange actions.
"Why," he replied proudly, my
profession has a code, too. You
don't catch me working during
my lunch hour!"
Back from jolly old London
comes Ben Penney, bon vivant and
American agent for Pins Choice
Liquor combinations. With him,
Ben brings a story that he says
is brand-new in London. That
means it's at least 10 years old
over here, but I'll take a chance:
In the smoker Of a train that
was roaring through the South
west, two men met. After awhile,
the first man asked the second
what his business was. The latter
chap replied that he was a sheep
counter.
"A sheep counter?" repeated
the first man incredulouSly. What
the devil is that?"
"Oh," returned the other, "it's
very simple. A herd of sheep is
pointed out to me. I take one
look and state exactly how many
sheep I am looking at. I am
never wrong"
The first man scratched his
head, started to say something
and then pointed excitedly
through the window.
"Look!" he cried. "We're Just
passing a big herd Of sheep. How
many sheep are there all to-
gether?"
His companion glanced through
the window.
-Four hundred sixty-eight," he
replied calmly.
The first mans eyes almost
popped from his head.
That's wonderful" he gasped.
"Only a man with a marvellous
brain could count sheep that
quickly. Do you mind telling me
how you do it,"
The sheep counter yawned.

here.
The county produces truck
crops, corn and small grains,

developed to a large industry IN

come from many points to haul
away large truekloads of apples,
many more are disposed Of To-
cally, and still others are packed
and shipped to many points.
Dairying is another farm IN
dustry that has grown in the
past few years. Dairy herds are
being culled and the stock will
soon be entirely purebred.
Industry in the county is
largely confined to textiles and
allied industries. At Balfour.

Among other indications of fu- ture prosperity for Nome and surrounding country. considerable interest is beng shown in real estate transfers here.

 Approximately dozen transfers have been made in the past week or ten days. Those buying real estate property include Judge Les ter o. Gore, Ed Gross, Conrad Yenney and K. J.
