8. _____ (July, 1920)   "Billy Brad Discovers Capital"   A Billy Brad story. Illustrated by J. R. Shaver. "Although a small boy, Billy Brad represents the eternal question mark.

9. _____ (August, 1920)   "Billy Brad and the Middleman" A Billy Brad story. Illustrated by J. R. Shaver. p 63-65, 78. "There is more than a touch of universal human nature in this whimsically wise tale of Billy Brad and his rows and rows of corn just waiting to be eaten. If you don't sympathize with Billy Brad, indeed, and his desire for dozens and dozens of Mammas, we miss our guess. Beneath Mr. Butler's entertaining story, however, lies a clear and simply reasoned explanation of fundamental economics that goes far deeper than the amused reader will at first suspect. Middleman baiters, especially, will find much food for thought in Uncle Peter Henry's remarks about Mr. Jones, the grocer."  [HARPER]

Illustrated by J. R. Shaver. p 62-64, 72.  [HARPER]
