Things to See If
You Go to Gotham

Tacomans going to New York
World fair will enjoy these unfor-
gettable settings:
The nighttime view of Central
park south from uptown, where
pin-point lights slope off into the
sky.
Central park from its highest
hill. near the Mall.
The Battery looking out into the
bay and toward the Narrows
where the leviathan ships crawl
to their berths in port.
The East river banks that COM
mand a sight OF the new, intricate
but streamlined Tribor oug h
bridges.
The breathless view of the sky
line from lower New York harbor.
The lofty panorama of city,
river. mountain. palisade, sky
scrsper, human sntheap. crawling
crates from atop the Empire State.
In no other metropolis are there
such facilities for viewing the
panoramic marvel. Every hotel
affords a lofty glimpse of the
metropolitan wonders, and the
terrace perches along the various
waterfronts increase from year to
year.
Even Brooklyn has its awesome
vantage point. atop the Hotel
Bossert where. in the Marine roof,
every Widowed portfolio looks out
toward the Manhattan harbor and
the sea.
The scene from the mid-ramp of
Brooklyn bridge is startling.

A Surprise Announcement OF an
Engagement

~ -" BsAEF VI
Engagement
Dear Mrs. Post: Ny mother IL
giving a large party in our garden
at which my engagement IL being
announced. The invitations are
the chief worry at the moment. II
mother sends them worded in my
honor. then won't people who are
halfway suspicious as TO what is
going to happen. be convinced of
1t? And yet, If my name is not
connected in some way, many peo-
pie who are primarily my friends
and not mothers, will wonder why
she is inviting them to her party.
Will you suggest an invitation that
would save the situation, and
should these be printed since we
are asking about sixty people ?
And if 1t is not out Of your own
subject, could you then tell me how
the announcement might be made
as n surprise. and when during the
party this should take place? The
people will be coming and going
over a period of several hours.
Answer: The conventional way
would be to send your mothers
card with your name engraved
under hers. This card sent with
no comment further than the hour
and day of the party written in ink
at the left side. and R.sv.p. at the
right. might be taken to mean
that you are not necessarily taking
any active interest in the party,
but that you will be there to assist
your mother. Or. II you want to
emphasize the fact that you and
your mother are giving this party
together, then write your name in
ink under your mothers engraved
one. II your fiance receives with
you and your mother this will GER
tainly arouse suspicion, which
might be confirmed by having
little iced cakes decorated with
your and his initials. This is about
the only way can think of to
answer your question. Perhaps 1t
may suggest something to you
that's better.
A Dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria
Dear Mrs. Post: am going with
my husband to New York in mid
summer. where he is attending a
convention called by the nationally
known company he works for here.
There is to be a dinner at the
Waldorf Astoria which is to in
clude the wives. Both he and
would like you to tell us what we
should wear on this occasion. Must
I take special evening wrap or
may wear my street coat without
looking out of place?
Answer: Your husband should
wear tuxedo and you a simple
evening dress. A tailored street
coat is very unsuitable with eve
ming clothes. II you can possibly
get short mandarin jacket of
brocade. this would be best. Or.
IL you have a fringed shawl, that
would do: or in hot weather a silk
or lace scarf. II the night hap
pens to be cold, a loose country
coat would he better than fitted
daytime in-town one.

For Next Year

Soy beans which grabbed the spot
light in farm products, continued to
be the star performer with prices
still on the upgrade.
The beans were quoted on Bluffton
markets at 81 per bushel the latter
part of last week, which represented
a high for the present market move
ment. Quotation Wednesday morn
ing was 95 cents, representing a one
cent advance over the price of a
week ago.
Although the price is double what
had been anticipated, the lack of
offerings from farmers here points
to the fact, dealers say, that the
available stocks earmarked for sale
have@been already marketed.
Present farm comment indicates
that the coming year will see large
increase in soybean acreage, princi

Oldtimers just couldn't believe
their eyes Wednesday when it be-
came known that Berkshires, breed
virtually unknown here, were run
ming away with the hog show at
Buttons Agricultural fair this
week.
In their first appearance in the
Blutfton fair show ring, they led
with a total of % entries, topping
by margin of four their nearest

past dominated the hog exhibits have
13 entries.
Strong showing made by the Berk.
shires was complete surprise tc
fair officials and hog raisers gen.
orally in this district which has
long been known as a Poland China
and Duroc Jersey stronghold.
The number of local Berkshir,
breeders is comparatively few bu
the quality of the exhibits is abov,
average, observers stated.
A class for Berkshire competition
was included in the premium list o
the fair this year after having bee
omitted for several years. Fair off
cials said the Berkshire class wa
previously dropped because of ar
parent lack of interest.
The Berkshire type, fair official
said, tends toward the bacon type o
hog, although this characteristic i
somewhat modified to confirm to tn
lard type which is popular in area
such as this where corn is the prin
cipal feed.

LIQUOR SALES to-
STOP ON DEC. 81
Extension of DeadIine to End of
Month will Eliminate Re-
fund by Town
Saturday, December 30 Last
Day for Selling; December
81 is Sunday

No public funds will be expended in
the inauguration of "dry" regime in
Bluffton, it was decided at meet
ing of the town council, Monday
night.
To accomplish this end the council
set the deadline for liquor sales at
midnight, Dec. 81, turning down
a suggestion by the state department
of liquor control that December 15
be designated as the date for discon-
tinuing the sales of intoxicants.
By postponing until the end of the
month the effective date of the dry
mandate voted at the November elec-
ton, council members pointed out that
any refund required to be made by
the town would be negligible and pos
sibly no refund at all would be re-
quired.
Refund Permit Holders
In communication received by
Mayor w. A. Howe from state de-
partment of liquor control it was
stated that the town would be requir-
ed to refund to the department ninety
per cent of the unexpired portion of
of all fees paid by local permit hold
ers with exception of those which
have less than thirty days to run.
The department, in turn, will make
a refund of this amount to holders
of liquor permits here.
In the communication received here
from Jacob B. Taylor, director of the
department of liquor control, it was
stated that should the deadline be
set for Dec. /, refund in the amount
of $6471 would be required. How
ever, should the date be postponed
until December Is the required refund
would be $33.44.
Refund 50 Per Day
Basing their computation on these
two figures, council members pointed
out that amount of the required re-
fund would amount to about So per
day and that by continuing the pres
ent setup until the end of the month
any refund required from the town
would be negligible.
The state department will be no.
titled this week of action taken by the
council and all licenses, excepting
those for the sale of 80 beer will be
revoked as of December 81. However
since this date falls on Sunday
liquor sales will stop at closing time
on Saturday night, December 80.
Sales of 80 beer which may be con-
tinued here accounted for about one
third of Bluffton's revenue from fees
paid by local holders which aggregat-
ed 5000 during the past year, accord
ing to Corporation Clerk Carold Stein
On.

Horse Entries In Fair Drop Over
Last Decade; Tractor Seen AS Cause
Class Shows 2S Entries This
Year as Compared with
40 Year Ago
Number of Horses Shown
Shows Progressive Decline
In Past 10 Years

What's happening to the horse?
That's what more than one visitor
was asking as the horse exhibit
showed a continued decline in the
number of entries at Buttons Agri-
cultural fair, Wednesday.
Decreasing entries each year in
the horse department of the fair are
interpreted by many district farm OBJ
servers as evidence that the tractor
is gradually replacing the horse on
farms of this area.
This year % horses are being
shown in the fair, as compared with
entries of 40 last fall. Ten years
ago entries of from go to 10 horses
were common.
Fewer horses have been entered
nearly every year over the last de-
cade, with the drop apparent ingthe
form of a gradual decrease from
year to year.
Widespread use of the tractor fol-
today's farming pursuits is the cause
attributed by many for the dwind.
ling number of horses available fol
show purposes.
The trend is seen by them as evi.
dence that the role the horse plays
on the farm will continue to be o1
lesser Importance, particularly SO as
further advancements are made ir
tractor engineering.
