THIS PETTY Pnce

This WEEK, the world observes
! the 95th birthday of the GEN.
tury's greatest writer, Tabset
Shiftlock, known affectionately to
his many admirers as "Ole Float.
ing Shift"
At his estate upon Lake Corona,
he lives a secluded life, attended
by only his keeper and literary
agent, l.. c. Smith. He rarely re-
ceives outsiders, and the world, in
recent years, often wonders about
his appearance and personal life.
This columnist visited him as late
as November, 1925. was agent for
"a collection agency. Tabset had
missed several payments on his
new Gong Girdle (the girdle that
chimes when you expand beyond
the danger point.
Tabset Shiftlock is egocentric,
loves only self. He can't love a
woman without making her guilty
pf alienation of affection. He would
have been happy to be his own
literary agent, but he wanted too
large a fee. He writes about him
self all day, but he throws all he
has written away because he thinks
it's too good for people. OF the
mountains of manuscripts he has
typed, only two words have been
published, but in them rests his
fame. More about them later.
He has a flair for theatres:
when he receives company, he has
the guest shown into the library to
await dramatic entrance by the
host. "Ole Floating Shift" enters
majestically. wearing a Chinese
robe and beret and riding a kiddie
car. Rising to his full regal height,
he extends a finely tapered hand
and exclaims, Get out of here
with that. and don't come back
no more!"
Shiftlock looks just like his pic
lures that have been published in
the literary magazines and on post
office bulletin boards. Beneath the
Chinese robe he wears a French
bathing suit and a high celluloid
collar upon which sightseers have
scribbled initials. His eyes are two
dark wells. According to legend, if
you toss pennies into their depths.

Works Together
To Give Better
Butter To Ohio

Three organizations and Ohio
farmers are cooperating to, i'm
prove butter on consumers
tables.
James T. Smith, extension
dairy technologist at the Ohio
State University, defines pur-
pose of the cream quality pro-
gram: ITO improve the quality
of Ohio-made butter by control
ling factors that affect quality
from the time cream is produced
until it is consumed" Co-spon-
sors of the cream quality pro-
gram with extension are Ohio
Butter Manufacture and the
Ohio Department of Agriculture
Meeting held in Mansfield,
Cambridge, Marietta and jack
son last week us to 18) started
the time-delivery program in
eastern Ohio. Paying for cream
on a 7-day basis starts in the
area February Is. On May l,
paying changes to a 5-day basis.
Smith explains the ideal basis
would be to market cream right
at the time it's produced. Obvi-
ously, it would be too expensive
to pick up a little bit of cream
everyday. Best compromise in
winter is the 7-day basis. in
summer, when both production
and temperature go up, the A.
or 5-day basis is best.
Southwestern Ohio has oper-
ated the quality program on a
4-day basis since last summer.
Smith says the area "has done a
fine job of improving quality of
cream and butter made from that
cream" Northwestern Ohio
operated on a 4-day basis last
summer and will return to it
April IS.
This MEANS" Smith says,
that after next May l, the
western half of the state will
market cream on a 4-day basis
and the eastern part on 5-day
basis" Cream not more than 7
days old produces better butter
for consumers and commands a
scent premium for the farmer.

ment Centers filled 26,l24 jobs
during December, with decreases
in placements reported in all but
two of the major occupational
groups.
Jobs filled in the clerical and
sales occupations increased, large
ly because of the hiring in retail
and postal service for the Christ
mas holidays. Also, there was a
% per cent increase in profess
sional and managerial job place
mentS.
During the month decreases in
placements were reported in all
major industrial groups, with

ing in the seasonal industries of
agriculture and construction.

Honey producing plants like
