comes in. He deals in valley, among 

 other more important things. But he 

 felt that this is a l>ad year for the 

 international trade in Hamburg pips 

 unless the shipper can show a perfectly 

 straight record for the British. Per- 

 haps it was i)atriotism. perhaps only 

 prudence, the disinclination to tai\e the 

 chance that looked good to the Hol- 

 lander, b>it the Scot is said to be doing 

 nothing in valley this season. 



Still, with full knowledge of all that 

 goes on among the valley dealers at 

 Hamburg, one scarcely could expect he 

 would sit still and see the Dutchman 

 slip his customers the pips no cautious 

 man wduld liandlo. Anyway, there isn't 

 any evidence the Germans put the Brit- 

 ons wise, unless they did it through the 

 Scot. 



^Vell, the Holland speculator still has 

 the balance of his pips and a strong sus- 

 picion a British agent watches his every 

 little movement with its meaning all its 

 own. 



But to go back to the pips that quiet- 

 ly lloatcd ]iast the British blockade. 

 That's where the men from Missouri 

 come in! 



A carload of the pips finally landed 

 in Chicago. The consignee wanted 

 those i»ips as baiUy as anyone could. 

 Only he didn 't want them to flower so 

 soon! So he turned them down. Event- 

 uallv the broker found a grower who 

 was willing to save what he could out 

 of the lot. The shipments that went to 

 the Pacific coast were even harder to 

 handle and the expenses were heavier. 



But nobo.ly has heard a whimper out 

 of the Hollander. He took a chance 

 and he's game.
