Priced leaver than a week ago
are ice burg lettuce, Mexican
white medium onions and radish-
es.
Apple prices are averaging high-
er this week. Oranges and pota-
toes are slightly higher. Prices on
snap beans, cucumbers, eggplant,
squall and peppers remain high
as recent severe weather in some
areas curtails harvest and ship-
ment.
There is a wide range in quali-
ty, condition and prices on toma-
toes this week. Vine-ripes are
abundant but fairly high in price.

BUSINESS MIRROR
Three out of four US corporations
increase profits despite stocks fall
NEW YORK (AP)—Three out of
four of the nation's corporations
are reporting increased profits,
even while the stock market fal-
ters. And cash dividends continue
to rise.
Many of the companies are re-
porting record net income after
taxes for 1959. Many others are
showing marked increases over
1958.
The first 669 nonfinancial corpo-
rations to publish 1959 operations
show the average gain over 1958
is 19.3 per cent. Only in 1955 did
profits take a bigger jump during
the 50s. In that year they soared
32 per cent over 1954.
By contrast, 1958 earnings fell
14.3 per cent behind 1957.
Most banks and other financial
Institutions also have reported In-
creased earnings in 1959, with
many records set.
Only two major nonfinancial di-
visions show declines from 1958.
The aircraft industry and its
suppliers dropped by 50.5 per cent,
reflecting the vagaries of defense
cutbacks and order-switching and
the costs of retooling from prop
to jets for commercial aircraft.
The railroads show a decline of
4.8 per cent. Most of the drop
was among lines serving steel
communities and plants with steel
shortages during the 116 - day
Strike.
For the 669 corporations com-
bined, the total net profit was
$12,062,511,000, against $10,106,417,-
000 for the same companies in
1958. Only 148 show declines this
time. But of the 669 there were
32 operating at losses in 1958, com-
pared with 27 in 1958.
Despite the stock market gloom,
the prospects for most of the cor-
porations are bright for the cur-
rent quarter, and many expect
gains during the entire first half
of 1960.
Federal figures show industrial
output rising to a record high in
January. Only in recent days have
- . - 4.
there been scattered reports of
faltering.
Corporate directors continue
generous in passing along the in-
creased profits to share holders
They passed out about a billion
dollars in cash dividends in Jan-
uary, 10 per cent more than the
previous year.
The spectacular gainers in 1959
profits over the previous year
were the machinery and machine
tool makers, with an advance as
a group of 93.7 per cent, and auto-
makers and their suppliers, with
a group advance of 92.1 per cent.
HAL BOYLE SAYS:
White-collar characters in zoo
of office workers are, analyzed
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK (AP) -Have you
ever leaked around a business of-
fice at quitting time?
The white-collar characters in
the office zoo start acting the
moment they step into the place
in the morning. And they are still
acting at the end of the day, after
eight long, hard hours of shuf-
fling papers from one pile to an-
other.
Here are a dozen types you
probably will find in your own
office:
1. The philosopher —at 5:31 he
always gives the company one
extra minute of work a day he
rises from his desk and make*
the same remark he has made
every weekday evening for 34
years: “Well, another day, an-
other dollar.”
2. First-out-of-the-door-Freda -
This beat-the-clock stenographer
starts getting ready to leave at
4:30. She is in the washroom
from 5:00 to 5:26. At 5:27 she
sprints for the elevator, and any-
one standing in her path is in
for a broken leg.
3. The nocturnal snooper—He
hangs around after all others have
left so he can read any mail they
leave on their desks. He even
checks the wastebaskets if the
janitor doesn’t beat him to them.
4. The pack rat—His last act of
the day is to stuff his pocket with
items he figures his kids can use
in school—pencils, erasers, library
paste, memo pads, carbon paper.
If you searched his house, you'd
find more office supplies than the
firm has in its warehouse.
5. The company humorist— As
he steps into the crowded elevator
he says loudly: ”1 suppose you all
have been wondering why I called
you together for this conference.”
Everybody laughed when he first
made this wisecrack in 1942, and
he can’t understand why it still
isn't funny in 1960.
6. The homing pigeon — Twice
before quitting time he phones his
wife in the suburbs, and he phones
her again in the station just be-
fore leaping aboard his train.
What does he have to tell her?
Nothing, just that he’s coming
home.
7. The after-hours squatter—he
hangs around the office until 8
p. m., just so he won’t have to go
home and listen to his wife. He’d

QUESTION: Why do we have leap year every four
years ?
+ • •
ANSWER: Our calendar year Is supposed to be the same
length as the solar year. The solar year Is the length of time
that it takes the earth to make a complete circle around the sun.
The calendar year of 365 days is about six hours short of being
as long as the solar year. To make calendar years come out
even with solar years, we usually add one day to the calendar
year every four years. This day la February 29. The extra
day that makes a leap year is added to those years that can be
divided evenly by 4—for example, 1960. However, this doesn't
apply to centuries such as 1800 or 1900. The only years mark-
ing centuries that are leap years are the ones which can be
divided evenly by 400, such as 1600 and 2000.
* * »
FOR YOU TO DO Using the method explained above, figure
owt the leap years until the year 2000.

rather go to s bar, but she doesn’t
give him enough money for that.
8. The thrify Beau Brummel—
This two-bit Romeo has a heavy
date. But before leaving he shaves
in the office washroom so he won’t
have to go home and use his own
soap. He sometimes washes his
socks there, too, to save laundry
bills, and lets them dry In his
desk drawer.
9. The happy hypocrites—They
pretend they have to stay late to
wind up an Important jeto, but as
soon as the office empties they
get out a deck of cards and play
gin rummy at a tenth of a cent a
point.
10. The pseudo eager beaver—
He strides out lugging a bulging
brief case and, if you didn’t know
it held only wadded newspapers,
you’d be sure here was a guy
planning to burn the midnight oil
while trying to solve company
problems,
1. The passionate house keep-
er—Neatness is his god. His big-
gest fear in life is he will die with
a runny nose and be buried with-
out a handkerchief. He does noth-
ing from 1:30 until 5:30 p.m. but
tidy up his desk so that every-
thing will be in order when he
comes to work the following morn-
ing.
12. The boss—At quitting time
he breezes out with more pep and
energy than anyone in the plaeo.
Only his secretary knows his —■
cret—he just woke up from Ms
afternoon nap.

Bad weather brings
rash of fire calls
When the calm weather broka,
so did the fire calls for the Level,
land Fire Department.
During the past few days, whil#
weather has been relatively calm,
firemen have made few runs. How-
ever, Tuesday night, when wand
and sand began to whip through-
out the area, firemen made two
runs within a three hour period.
And one of the blazes had an
unusual angle to it. A burr fira
at Heard Gin was reported about
12:15 a.m. Wednesday — more
than two months after the last cot-
ton had been ginned. The fire was
caused when burrs which had been
left in a burr box were ignited
from sparks off a trash fire.
The other call was at 9:15 p.m.
Tuesday to an automatic laundry
at 905 Austin. Clothing in an auto-
matic dryer became too hot and
burned. However, damage was
slight. Owner of the clothing was
not Identified.
