JOHN A. CLARK, Notary 'Public My commission expires June 6, 1928. rt Travel to the farthest corners of the earth has been the principal hobby of Floyd E. Payne in recent years, with the result that the stories he tells are rare good fun for the listener. Mr.

Payne is president of the Floyd E. Payne Company, which operates three eating places in Indianapolis under the name of Payne's Busy Bee Lunches. Time went skipping by as Mr. Payne related 'adventures that ranged from being left high and dry on a steamer stuck In a rnudbank whils traveling between Japan and China, to a motor trip through Canada during which he became lost-Driving up to a forlorn-looking house he rapped on the door and in-Qulred. "Is this the way to TlllyT A woman querulously replied, "Never heard of her, she ain't no relation And later when he came to Tilly, "a few.

miles farther on. It was a deserted little village, with only one human inhabitant, the telegraph operator. "And invariably when you ask about many of the roads up in Canada folk will answer, "Not too bad, which may mean anything," Mr. Payne saia. Intemded to Be a Lawyer.

In earlier years Mr. Payne studied at Indiana University with the in- tention of becoming a lawyer, hut the sudden death of his father In- terrunted his Diana. As a vounsrster he established on excellent paper route, selling; Tne Indianapolis ftewi to .200 customers. He attended Shortridgre lilarh School and took an actiTe interest in athletics. He played on the high school and Indiana University football teams.

When hs was sixteen years old he and another youth decided 'to ride their bicycles to uarraio to attend tne Fan-American exposition, uney got aa far aa Cleveland and ran out of money, so they obtained work with a construction company, eng-aged in building; a water works tunnel out In Lake Erie. It proved a grewsome experience, however. An explosion occurred In the shaft, killing several men, ana ending tnat particular Jot. immediately. They then continued their journey to Buffalo, took in the sights, and arrived home in time to enter biffn school in the fall.

While he was a pupil In high school, Mr. Payne began to travel for a glove firm and gradually became manufacturer's broker until It was necessary for him to have two other salesmen to assist him. His father also traveled for the same firm. When the father died, Mr. -Payne became the wage-earning: head of the family.

His experiences ss a salesman had con vinced him that It was the wish of many people to obtain good food in short space or but few places were so equipped at that lime to serve, the publlq hurriedly. It was then he turned his-attention to "short order service. 'Pioneer tavBealaeea. I was one of tbe pioneers when started this business eighteen years ago," he said. At that time tbe restaurant business was a basic Industry.

TodAy one of the easiest things to get Is food. Drug stores, department stores, cigar stsnds, gaaollne stationsalmost anywhere yoo turn tnere is a iooa sign. -tnat is the reason the restaurant ness, as it ones was conducted, is rapidly becoming sideline business-" he said. In tne years that Mr. Payne has been In the busineas hla establish.

nava served 'more than 10 000,600 meals. At present lie Is svsragintf about 1. meals a year. In the meantime he carries on a number of real eatats and building enterprisea la connection r-J with the restaurants Mr. Payne op erates a dairy farm, between Edge-wood and Southport, that provides the milk supply and some eggs and chickens.

peaaaad fr Qaiclc Lnach. As long as folk eat fn a congested district at the noon hour and in a hurry, there will always be the demand for quick lunch service, but, of course, whenever they can tske time for a leisurely meal, they will prefer table service. For that reason Mr. Payne has established a combination service in his restaurants, he said. When serving 'oneself first was new, many were the funnf- experiences growing out -of this form of service, Mr.

Payne said. Folk were rather aghast if they happened to hear their order of milk toast Interpreted as "graveyard stew," or of scrambled eggs on toast as "Adam and Eve on at raft wreck 'em." On one occasion a man came Into, one of the restaurants and sat on the arm of the chair while be tried to place his food on a small stand in the center of the room. He was ha.vlng a time trying to balance himself and make connection with his food. On the suggestion, quietly made, 'that the arm of his chair was intended to hold his food while he sat in the chair, he decided to try it opt. Breathing a sigh of relief, he said.

"Gosh. that's a whole lot better." Waited for Service. Other persons, unaccustomed to the new method of service, would come In and sit down In the chairs until some one would explain the manner in which they were to get their food. Nine times out of ten, to hide their confusion, they would flounce out with the remark, "Well. we'll so some place where we can get a little service." Mr.

Payne belongs to the Indl-anaDolls Gun Club, ths Indiananolls Athletic Cluh, the Rotary Olub. the Shrine and the National Restaurant Association, of which latter organization he was formerly a director. He also is a member of the Phi Oamma Delta Fraternity. Hia idea of success is arettlner In a business that has a' future, at the psvchological moment. "You also have to work and work hard." he said.

"Eighteen years of the restaurant business means about thirty-six years of the average business, for one must always be on the job- Saturday afternoons, Sundays and holidays."
