THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., MONDAY, MARCH 6, 1922
SERVICE MEN PAY
FUI UHOIIQB.S TO
HMD ARMSTRONG
Approximately 150 former eertlce
men In uniform attended the funeral
of Private Howard Armstrongheld at
2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, In the
Reid Memorial church. Hundreds of
citizens lined the streets on the line
of march UOi the cemetery, "id the
hillside" in Earlham cemetery -where
the grave had been dug, was covered
with a crowd of people estimated at
from 1,000 to 1,500 persons. ,
Full military honors were paid the
deceased veteran at the funeral which
was conducted under the auspices of
Harry Ray Post, No. 65, American le
gion. The American Legion band, the
gun- carriage on which the coffin was
carried to the cemetery and the escort
of helmeted veterans, all combined to
make the funeral one of the most im
pressive held here since that of Cor
poral Harry Ray, last fall.
The funeral sermon was preached
by Rev. W. McClean Work, the pas
tor, who took for his text, "Greater
love than this hath no man, that he
give his life for his friend."
Obituary Read.
The obituary was read by N. A.
Powell, commander of Harry Ray
Post, American Legion, and a prayer
by Clarence Engelbert, post chaplan,
completed the church service. - '
Oscar Brldgeford, brother-in-law of
the deceased, and his two brothers,
Sidney and Leonard, appeared in uni
form. - ' v
Spectators along the line of march
who failed to show respect due the
flag were brought to attention by mem
bers of the body guard on three oc
casions. One of the men, who said he
had a cold, and failed to remove his
hat on that account, complied with the
requeffc of the guard readily enough.
Another, mounted on a motorcycle,
took off the rider's cap and hung it on
the machine.
In the third case, a man's hat was
removed by one of the guard and
handed to him. The former servica
men returned from the cemetery in
a body, disbanding after reaching the
corner of Eighth and Main streets.
Warn Against Parchase
. Of Italian Clover Seed
Word that the purchasing commit
tee of an Ohio county farm bureau has
bought several hundred pounds of Ital
ian Red ' Clover seed impels crops
workers of the Ohio States university
again to announce that tests show con
clusively that this Italian-grown seed
does not winter nor yield as well as
American-grown seed.
More than 16,000,000 pounds of this
clover seed was imported from Europe
largely from Italy, in 1921, and it is
being offered for sale in all parts of
the country

Second-Hand Book Marts
By FREDERICK J. HASKIN
HEW YOKi: CITY. Mart 6. IfJwv,
York probably has more seconat-nand
bookshops than any other city In the
world. Dozens of single shops, with
their outside tables piled high with
books, may be found on every main
thoroughfare, while occasionally whole
clusters of them appear together, as
Is the case on lower Fourth Avenue
between Eighth end Fourteenth
streets, and on Fifty-ninth street run
ning east from Fifth Avenue.
To 'book lovers, these dingy book
marts are a never-falling source of de
light. There is an atmosphere .of ro
mance and mystery about their dusty
shelves that is never encountered in
the new-book stores where the stand
ard prices and neat paper jackets of
the volumes proclaim their absence of
an eventful past There is also a cer
tain tranquility about them that is ex
tremely gratifying to those who like
to choose their reading matter with
care and deliberation. You can move
slowly about a second-hand bookshop,
inspecting book after book, without In-
terruption from brisk, ambitious Bales
men. You can read whole chapters,
even whole books (many people do) in
utter peace and quiet while the pro
prietor rummages industriously around
somewhere in the rear of the store,
apparently obllvioua to your presence.
He isnt, though, as you will soon per
ceive if you carry absent-mindedness
too far and attempt to walk out with
a volume without paying for it.
Secondhand books are interesting
not only because of their bargain pos
sibilities, but because they are mys
terious. They have lived eventful,
sometimes hectic, live3, and are us
ually widely traveled. In the second
hand book stores of New York may be
found derelict volumes from all cities
and countries. Some of them have
fallen from high estate, as is evident
from the names and inscriptions on
the fly leaves, while others have the
tawrdy, batered, and widely rubber-
stamped appearance of outcasts that
have passed restlessly from one book
seller to another. Sometimes a book
of very little value brings a high
price because of its fly leaf which
bears the autograph of a celebrated
individual, so that all fly leaves are
generally respected by book-sellers
and are not torn out, even though their
inscriptions are seemingly of a trivial
nature.
Watch Fly Leaves Carefully.
"Some of these fly leaves are worth
looking at just as a matter of human
inierest," declared one second-hand
book dealer the other day. "Take
this classy old Bible now," he suggest
ed, exhibiting the large, fine, black
leather-bound volume to which he was
carefuly administering a coat of shoe
polish. "It's a family Bible, and you
wonder how It ever happened to go
astray. It's come all the way from
Schenectady and its got a full record
erf family births and deaths in the back
of it. I'm getting it ready for a cus
tomer who says she believes she
knows some of the people recorded in
it. Funny, ain't it?
"Such coincidences often happen.
Once, several years ago, I remember,
there was a quiet, studious young
man standing by the table over there
looking over the day's bargains when
suddenly he dropped the book he was
TWO SISTERS MAY

. AT. NEXT SESSION
holding and stood staring at it where
it taf fin tlie fiour &&. if he was para
lyzed. Then he picks It up and comes
running over to me, very much excit
ed, and wants to know where I got it.
" This book, he says, 'is inscribed
with the name of my brother whom
I haven't seen for years. He left home
10 years ago, and we havent heard
from him since. My father would give
anything to know that he was here In
New York, alive and well, and her
at last is a clue. Don't you know
where you got this book whether It
came from a private house or a hotel
or
"The man who sold me that book
along with several others lives right
around the corner, and he often comes
in here,' I Interrupted, and going back
to my desk I looked up the address
and gave it to him. " And do you know
that book was the means of this young
, man and his brother meeting and mak-'Ine-
n n a auarrel of Ions: standing?
Well as I was saying to a customer

Fabulous Bargains Are Rare. ,
Some fabulous tales are told - con
cerning the bargains always to be
found in second-hand book shop, but
it is probable that such delightful in
stances are rare. Most of the dealers
are good judges of literature, as well
as shrewd business men, and they are
not likely to part with a literary gem
for a price below its worth. The
profit on used textbooks and on the
best sellers of yesteryear is very
slight, it is said, but that on first edi
tions, books that are out of print, and
books of a sensational nature is im
mense. Volumes which receive the
Official taboo of the Society for the
Suppression of Vice are also given a
cordial welcome by .many of the deal
ers, who find it easy to sell them at a
fat price. It 13 reported that one
downtown dealer made enough profit
on the sale of James Branch Cabel's
"Jurgen' 'alone to open another book
shop uptown.
It is not surprising, therefore, to
find most of the second-hand book-sellers
strongly in favor of a rigid censor
ship of our literature. In fact, their
only criticism of the Anti-Vice society
is that it is too lenient. One such
admiring dealer on the West Side
even has a photograph of the late
Anthony Comstock conspicuously in
evidence on the wall above his desk.
"The world is getting worse and
worse," lamented this gentleman re
cently, echoing the views of New
York's much discussed preacher, Dr.
John Roach Straton, "especially in its
taste for books. The movies have
ruined it. You can't sell the good,
6weet love stories our mothers used to
read any more. The new girls want
something snappy. Today, a young
girl not any older than my daughter
came into the store, drew me over in
the corner there where none of the
other customers could hear her, and
asked me if I had in stock a copy of
'Ulysses' that's the book the society
suppressed in this country last year.
Ah, you know it? Hmm" here he
paused and gazed at the customer a
trifle suspiciously, but at last seemed
i to be reassured by what he saw

Mrs. Irene C BuelL
Mrs. Irene C Buell, city prose
cutor of Ashland, Neb., is running
for congress this year. At the
same time her sister, Mrs. A. IL
Gault, mayor of St. Peter, Minn.,
is running for a similar post. This
is the first time In the history of
American suffrage that two sisters
have entered the race for congress
at the same time.
"have you seen the latest Lawrence
novel? I happen to have one there
on the back shelf. And here is an
other that is likely to be suppressed
soon." He held up a brand-new copy
of a book and added irrelevantly, "I
am getting in a large stock of this
book tomorrow, although, of course
it Is a little late for the society to act
now after nearly everybody has read
the work."
Sources of Book Supply
The great majority of the books sold
in the second-hand shops are obtained
by the dealers at auction sales of large
estates and from other sales of private
libraries, but a great many are also
bought up at a low price from Euro
pean dealers and shipped to this coun
try. To one who is a close observer
it is also apparent that at least a few
of the dealers (or perhaps the people
from whom they have purchased) rely
upon the public libraries for a certain
percentage of their stock. Indeed, in
the past the libraries have suffered so
many losses to the second-hand book
trade that they recently secured an
amendment to the penal code of the
Ei&te of New York, protecttig then
from such depredations.
"At one . time," declares library
official, "It was possible to go out.and
find whole pushcarts full of library
books, bearing library names and
marks. Some years ago I found a
whole circulating subscription library
full of them. They were all library
books, which had been rebound to
make identification less easy, the 50
cent bindings removed and replaced
by 18-cent bindings. This was a sub
scription library where people paid so
much a week to take out a book. We
don't have many cases of this kind
now, though."
If the dealers are occasionally guaty
of selling a library book which some
how wanders into their possession,
however, they themselves are the vic
tims, of much bold thievery. Theyare
constantly losing valuable 1 first edi
tions in this way. Only the other day,
a bookseller on the East Side lost
two volumes worth at lea6t $300 to
a clever and distinguished looking old
bibllaphue, who moves in the best
society, and Is said to earn a hand
some income by supplying coveted
first editions to millionaire collectors.
