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 legion. 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 pastor, 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 uniform. - ' v Spectators along the line of march who failed to show respect due the flag were brought to attention by members of the body guard on three occasions. 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 committee of an Ohio county farm bureau has bought several hundred pounds of Italian Red ' Clover seed impels crops workers of the Ohio States university again to announce that tests show conclusively 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 AUTO OCCUPANTS SHAKEN UP ANDERSON, Ind., March 6. Autos driven by Harry Mitchell and Ira Cox collided at a street intersection here Sunday and an auto driven by John Hogan collided with another machine. The occupants were shaken up.

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 running east from Fifth Avenue. To 'book lovers, these dingy book marts are a never-falling source of delight. There is an atmosphere .of romance and mystery about their dusty shelves that is never encountered in the new-book stores where the standard prices and neat paper jackets of the volumes proclaim their absence of an eventful past There is also a certain tranquility about them that is extremely 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 Interruption from brisk, ambitious Balesmen. You can read whole chapters, even whole books (many people do) in utter peace and quiet while the proprietor rummages industriously around somewhere in the rear of the store, apparently obllvioua to your presence. He isnt, though, as you will soon perceive 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 possibilities, but because they are mysterious. They have lived eventful, sometimes hectic, live3, and are usually widely traveled. In the secondhand 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 bookseller 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 suggested, 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 customer 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

holding and stood staring at it where it taf fin tlie fiour &&. if he was paralyzed. Then he picks It up and comes running over to me, very much excited, 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 the other night truth 13 stranger J

mail uio 'iiutiuu cicu wo ecvuuu-wiuu dealers carry." Fabulous Bargains Are Rare. , Some fabulous tales are told - concerning the bargains always to be found in second-hand book shop, but it is probable that such delightful instances 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 editions, books that are out of print, and books of a sensational nature is immense. Volumes which receive the Official taboo of the Society for the Suppression of Vice are also given a cordial welcome by .many of the dealers, 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 bookshop 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 recently, 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 prosecutor 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 50cent bindings removed and replaced by 18-cent bindings. This was a subscription 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 victims, 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.
