What happens when you can't
make it to the trap door, or the
fence1 Very simple. You merely
lie fat on the ground, and
hope that the boys sitting
around the fence will hop in
and divert the bull before he
can do much damage.
Fortunately, rodeo clowns usu-
ally make enough money to take
their minds off broken bones and
sudden death. For their 33 DAYS
at Madison Square Garden in
September and October, Mills re-
ceived $500. Knapp and Fulker-
son, $2,4O0 apiece. The season
runs almost all year around, with
stops in 20 American cities.
It's isn't all gravy, however.
The travelling expenses are terrific,
and they eat up half the clowns
salaries.
Despite the risks they run.

with miraculous consistency. Jack

and the law of averages for 81
years.

His technique combines the skill
of the matador with that of a
broken-feld runner. Each clown
has his own tricks. Jack Knapp
employs a huge felt hat. Mills
waves a derby. Mills also is most
direct, frequently walking up to
the bull and kicking him briskly
in the rump.
Each has his own style of get
away, too. Fulkerson uses his bar
rel, hanging tightly to a rope knot
ted to the closed end. Knapp usu-
ally scampers across the arena and
out a trap door. One was built
especially for him at Madison
Square Garden. It's only two
feet square and annoys the bulls
considerably.

MILLs, on the other hand, is ex-
ceptionally fast on his feet, rely
ing on speed to get him over the
side of the arena before the bull
gets to him. On one occasion,
when Mills had to boot a bull to
dislodge him from a cowboy, the
clown and the bull ran a dead heat
to the barrier. Mills flew Is feet
through the air and landed in the
box seats.

JAsBo. born Ralph Clayburn
Fulkerson, gave up bareback-rid-
ing and bronco-busting to become
a clown. because, he explains,
"Rodeo was too serious. every
body all scrunched down in their
seats pullin' on their hats like it
was life and death and never no
laughs from start to finish. So
figured I'd make 'em laugh"
Jasbo Fulkerson doesn't remem-
Der when he developed the beer

rubber on the outside, is only 80

Milk Prices
To Increase
tspesIa, to TAe C,tl.es.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 18.
Milk prices must be increased
throughout Florida if Florida's
dairy industry is to survive and
continue to maintain reasonable
standards of milk quality and
service, according to a statement
made by e. T. Lay, secretary OF
the Florida Dairy Association.
Although the price of milk de-
livered tosthe customers doorstep
has increased several times since
1910, most of the increase has
gone to the farmer for constantly
mounting expenses while the
milk distributor, also faced with
isteeply rising costs, today has a
smaller operating margin than in
1910" Lay said. u, -%
Talk of milk price increases is
always ar touchy subject, but the
fact must be faced that produc-
ers and distributors of milk cam
not remain in business and main
tain present standards of purity,
quality and service unless they
can make a profit.
For. the welfare and health of
the public. it is necessary that
these standards be maintained.
The obvious answer is that milk
prices. must be increased to a
point which will enable the dairy
industry to give the public good
service and milk of good quality.
Such increases have already been
authorized in Jacksonville and
Daytona Beach"
