Every day. to the accompaniment of the noon hour whistle, a horde of hungry men and women come pour­ing out" of the portals of office build­ings, shops and department stores. It is a daily occurrence, except that, like the railroad time tables, the "except Sunday" asterisk might be included in this chronicle.

Ottumwa has noticed this l(orde. Quick, inervous steps lead all one way. That .is food ward. But an interesting adventure or series of adventures might be obtained each day at noon for a week by going to the places where the Ottumwa business men eat at noon. By business men, not that class which goes to the clubs, but the army of clerks and department heads, or stenographers- and lawyers assistants, who count upon an expenditure of from 10 to 20 cents for the noonday meal.1

>, Sandwich and Pie Crowd.

This is the ham sandwich and pie crowd. Line up at the counter, wait your turn, and then gasp your "order" into the ear of the man behind the counter. Jerk it out of' your throat sharply, or the man "at your elbow will beat in the race for food.. A pass,

la jerk, a twist of the wrist, and the | luncheon C9mes sliding across the counter to you. Everything is hurry and bustle, shuffling feet, staccato barks as the nervousness of the »ush gets into the blood of the patrons. It all gets into your system. Masticate your food in three minutes, rush for the door and the street. Then stop and wonder why you were exceeding the speed limit. There is a half hour of lunch time left. There was no par­ticular need for rush.

Ottumwa is getting farther and farther away from a substantial meal at noon, according to the observation of one restaurateur, who .has watched the succeeding types of luncheon hun­ters for years.

"Of \ course," he said, "the restau­rants are not losing any noon business. But it is not growing. There is an ever increasing habit for a 'snack' at that time of day. Bakeries, drug stores and other places where a bite to eat and a sup of coffee are served are being resorted to more and more. This elimination of the nOon meal Is due to several causes. Some business places have cut the time for the noon meal by employers down to half an hour. With the extension of the city to wider precincts the man who has moved far out to get the benefit of lower rents finds he has not time to get home at noon.

Bachelors Partly to Blame. "Then of course econom* lias en.

tered into the question. Fhe young bachelor finds he can run to some place get a lunch in a hurry at a small cost and have an additional amount to put on the big meal of the day, the even­ing meal.

"Speaking of bachelors, did it ever strike you that Xhere are more of them in this city in proportion to the population than any place in the coun­try, that is any place where the condi­tions are like they are here. No? Well it is a fact. I have not^d it and com­pared it with other cities. It is a young man's town. The jobbing and wholesale industries and the stores are full of them. And the young man doesn't think of his stomach, does he? No, he does ijot, and the 'quick' lunch habit is the result." .

SEED CORN What Farmers Want to Kiow

The "Pure Seed. Man's" New Book is certainly different from the many other seed books. When a book or letter <3 written by a man who has a thorough personal knowledge of his business and adds to that knowledge his best pain­staking effort, the result is interesting reading. In this particular seed book one reads living, breathing pages. Not the usual stereotyped technical terms of the seed trade, but the heart £alk of a man who talks and writes of his seed business,, his long experience and his life in general, in a way that makos you at once feel and see that profit in business is not the only consideration a man may have for living. There are many things in the seed business th£t are important for every farmer to know. Many of these things >do not show on the outside and neither is it easily pos^bly to" learn them. Many of these very important things are puti into understandable English in the Pure Seed Man's new book. To get -ij free copy of it write the Shenandoah' Pure Seed Co., 303 Lowell Ave., Shen-. andoah, Iowa, and mention ..this paper when writing
