The Man On The Street Report From Sidney
In Sidney streets recent weeks show potato prices falling sharply threatening their appeal as food. Nails shortages grow as mothers and daughters join politics, squeezing supply for fathers. Local auto dealers note rising favor for enclosed cars due to kids being jostled from open models on the main thoroughfare. A quarrel about who is the meanest man intensifies after a nephew given a nickel to buy himself something. Newspapers note the four hundred dollar funeral of Jimmie the New York canary, a sentiment echoed that Jimmie perhaps deserved the lavish sendoff more than some human singers.
