Without people there could be no business no Swift

supply the capita others farmers and ranchers to
supply the materials; many thousands (employes)
who work with their heads and hands for the com

Judged by many as the great

In 1924 he was named the most

but paid no income tax. Now she
receives $2120 per year but pays

New York Mourns
For Dead Runyon
lRv The Assoclated Pressl

New York, Dec. 11-New York
mourned today in respect for one
of its most famed newspapermen
and writers, Damon Runyon.
The 61-year-old author and col
umnist died last night at 7:06
o'clock at Memorial Hospital.
Runyon entered the hospital
last Friday with a gastro-intesti
nal and liver ailment.
7 One. Of the most graphic writer's
America has produced in this
century, Runyon gained a tres
mendous reading public with his
original style and conversational
dialogue of all walks of life in
the metropolis. His short stories
won early favor and are still
among the best selling items in
that field.
Runyon often vacationed in
South Florida and often came to
the defense of the Sun State
when it was attacked by West
brook Pegler on various grounds.

ST. Petersburg Nan
Leases Hotel Here

Mr.. and Mrs. Nate Collins of

the Marine Hotel in that city,
have leased the Postoffice Inn
from Mr.. and Mrs. A. r. Wolkoff.
Collins is we'll known in hotel
circles throughout Florida.
In connection with the hotel,
the new proprietor will operate
what he contends is the smallest
barbershop in the United States
He will shortly open a lunchroom
also in connection with the no
tel. The latter contains 16 rooms
and Broom cottage in the rear.
The Collins barbershop is SO
small that it recently drew the
attention of Look" magazine
which sent a photographer to
take pictures of the tiny estab-
lishment last week. GlaSs-enclo-
sed on three sides, overlooking the
street, the shop measures five
by six feet in size.
Mr. and Mrs. Wolkoff are now
residing at 1928 White street.

Teachers Pay Here Only $llO Above
1893 Despite $995 Raise, Is Claim

in other places she didn't have
that much increase"
In commenting on these fig
ures to The Citizen, Principal
O'Bryant explained that the in
dex of 1884 was for October but
on the Individual items that
teachers would use, the index
was much higher, being 1870 for
clothing and $50 for food. In
other words it takes $1.80 now to
buy food which $100 would buy
in 1888"
The Principal, who obtained
his consumers index from the
U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics,
added that when deterioration in
quality is taken into considera-
ton, the decrease in purchasing
power of the teachers dollar
drops even further For example,
a $40 suit today may have only
the quality of wool. workman
shin, etc, which $25 suit had in
1898.
Guess the teacher. then" con-
cluded Principal O'Bryant, is
really working for about the
same as she was in the latter
part of the depression.
