TOMATOES have been coming to Hof-
tecker's cannery very lively since the
middle of last week. Monday. over
1900 baskets were taken in and vester-
day from 1000 to 1900 baskets. Their
capacity for packing is from 10000 to
II 900 cans day. The start at Nc
Gaw's eannery was slower at first, but
this week they are coming in with
about equal force with the above.
The weather for this month is usu-
ally marked by hot days followed bv
cool nights. 1t is the season when the
caution "be careful" is essentially ne
cessary. Care as to the avoidance of
the practice of sitting about at night in

rated with perspiration during the dav.
Care as to clothing-for that which is
ample under the sultry heats of noon
day IS totally insufficient when the air
has become chilled at night. Do not
suffer yourself to get chilled.
A GOOD deal of wonder was ex.
pressed during the past weeks why the

dld not run excursions to Bombay
Hook, thus giving the old time oppor- i
tunity for trip to Cape Nav. The
reason was, they were not ready. the
neaVy rains not only hindering in the
repairs, but necessitating an elevation
Oi the track. 1t is little late in the
season, but by advertisement in
another column it will be seen that
during September the opportunity will
be given twice week to 90 ON an
excursion to Bombay HookgWednes-
lays and Sundays.
