What is Your Prospect for
Fruit I?

The Jersey Fruit Journal tells us
that We are to have the biggest fruit
crop ever known in this country.
Already arrangements are being
made for the largest Canning business
ever recorded.
What are you going to do in the
matter? Let your fruit fall and rot
on the ground and buy of your neigh
bor or grocer? No! You can't af-
ford it. Better, by far, "let each tub
stand on its own bottom"
Can your own fruit, Be sure to
Can what you need for home use.
Then, if you have time, Can some to
sell your improvident neighbors.
There are always sure to be some
who never prepare for the future.
They are like the drones in bee hive.
Some one else must furnish bread for
their mouth and oil for their vessels.
Why not you?
Right here let us say a word that
will save few cans of fruit and
great deal of vexation If you want
to use your old jars, get new rubbers
for them. The rubbers cost you very
little, and you will not regret the out
lay. Your fruit may keep with old
rubbers, but it is much safer with
clean new ones.
Get the original and genuine MA
SON JAR, and trust to the good
sense of your thrifty wife for the bal
ance, and you'll be sure to have plenty
to eat next Winter, if you never have
it again.
We have a limited supply of Fruit
Jars and extra Rubbers.
We trust all will be supplied, but
cant promise to hold goods for late
corners.
Hoping that the grain crop will
only be as good as the fruit crop is
sure to be,
We are yours always truly,

inch or two above the eye. Both blows
fell almost simultaneously and were
thought TO be equally severe in their
work. Tue men dropped to the ground
together and were supposed to be killed.
The cut in Johns head land bare

scalp hung down over his face
making horrible looking sight. Eman-
uePs skull was broken in aud he was car
