As the Madison Avenue
bus approached Seventy-ninth
street. George Barton Baxter
struggled to his feet and stared
gloomily at the congested aisle
that lay between him and the
middle exit.
Mr.. Baxter was an old timer.
however, who knew all about
the amazing compressibility Of
the human frame in transit.
Swapping his folded paper
under his arm. he moved into
the aisle as a lung diver walks
into the sea and disappears be-
meath its restless surface.
He was the last person of the
bus-always an undesirable
position. for, with no one be-
hind to stand on the step and
thus keep the two halves Of
the middle door from closing,
It was apt to snap at its escap-
ing prey like an angry clam.
Now he came out Of the middle
exit like q parachute Jumper as
the closing doors chopped at his
coat tail with q frustrated hiss.
The bus whined up the hill TO
Eightieth street. Mr.. Baxter
walked hriskly toward Park
avenue.
Autumn Revitalizing
A cool breeze was blowing
across the city, carrying the
first message Of autumn. Some
how in the fall everything
seemed to take on renewed
vitality. Autumn in New York
gave Mr.. Baxter a feeling Of re-
birth. It had for more than,
80 years when he had first come
to New York from his home in
Syracuse. to work for the Ma
tional City Bank.
That had been his first job.
He had graduated from Prince
ton the preceding spring.
He had done so well that be-
fore he was 80 he had been
asked to so with L. X. Pratt
and Co.. one Of the best tex
tile houses in New York. BY
that time he had married the
witty. lovely Susan Fairfield
and the hy-products Of the
union were multiplying with
frightening rapidity. Now 20
years later he was the head
Of his company.
In many ways. Mr.. Baxter
qualified as q typical New
Yorker. He had come there
from another city "a seemingly
basic qualification. He would
never quite regard it as his
home and yet he would never
voluntarily live elsewhere.
Mr.. Baxter was q small-clty
man. trained in the ways OF q
great metropolis. never quite
losing a feeling Of nostalgia for
the folksiness Of lesser commu-
mites. He loved New York. but
1t was a different type of love
than that which he used to be-
stow upon Syracuse or Nam
tucket or Princeton.
In New York the fall was the
true beginning Of the New
York year.
In the fall Mr.. Baxter felt
vigorous. as after good nights
sleep. He was always full Of
resolutions and determinations
In the fall. It was then that
one renewed business connec-
tons. It was the time when new
plays appeared. new books were

Economical Rations

One feeder often secures mucl
greater returns from his livestoci
than his neighbor because HI
gives more thought to the selec'
ton of rations that are not only
well balanced nut much more
economical.
To secure the most profit from
livestock, il is often necessary tc
give careful thought to changes
in feed prices. Experiments have
shown that there is not one best
ration for any class of stock.
When prices change one should
make whatever changes + nee
eSSary in his ration to take adj
vantage of the new condition.
For many years corn was
thought as the only feed for fat
tening cattle. However, it has
been proven that barley is just
as useful in feeding livestock. The
only difference in determining
which is the better is to deter
mine which is the most economi-
cal.
Since barley is worth 88% of
corn as a fattening feed, how can
one determine the economy of
feeding one over the other? To
determine this is very simple.
Multiply 88 by the current price
of corn. If the current price of
corn is higher than the answer
you arrived at, then barley is
more economical. If ii is lower
than the current price of corn,
then corr is the better feed
It's the old adage: Buy 'em
right, feed EN- right and sell 'em
right and you'll make a for
tune"

Word OF Advice To
Disabled Persons

Many disabled people who are re-
ceiving disability payments under
other Federal laws, or under work
mems compensation laws, may be
neglecting to apply for social Sc
curity disability insurance bene-
fits, Myron Milbouer, district man
ager of the Wilmington social Sc
curity office declared today.
The social security law does pro-
vide that any social security dis
ability insurance benefits must be
reduced by the amount of any of
these other benefits which may be
payable to a disabled person. But,
Milbouer said, a disabled worker
who believes that he could qualify
for social security disability in
surance benefits now, or at age so,
should file an application with his
social security Office promptly, even
if he is already receiving another
type of disability benefit.
Although he may not actually re-
ceive any social security disability,
or only very small payments. mis-
application will protect his right to
social security benefits in the fu-
ture, and also his family's right to
survivors payments in case of his
death. If he does not make an ap-
plication, those future benefits may
be lost or may be much lower in
amount. Also, if the other disabil-
ity benefit he is now receiving is
reduced or stopped before he
reaches retirement age, he might
no longer be eligible for social Sc
curity disability insurance bene-
fits if he has not made his applica-
tion in time.
Milbouer pointed out that after a
disabled person reaches 65, these
other disability payments do not
reduce the amount of his social Sc
eurity old-age insurance benefits.
He urged all disabled persons to ac-
quaint themselves with the re-
quirements of the social security
disability provisions.
Free pamphlets explaining the
social security disability provisions
NAV be obtained by writing to the
Social Security Administration, 504
w. 10th street, in Wilmington. A
disabled person who believes that
he could qualify under these pro-
visions, should then make applica-
ton to his social security office,
whether or not he is receiving an
other type of disability benefit.
