One Of the most interesting exhibits at

be used. which is a small percentage Of
what is produced in Colorado. whose an

HUGE CROP OF TOMATOES.
Twice as Many Millions of Cases Cam
ned This Year as Last.

Such a demand for canned tomatoes
has arisen that more than double the
quantity put up last year has been
packed in the last few months There
have been canned for consumption be-
tween now and next summer 9494, s12
cases Of tomatoes or more than two
hundred million tins a case contain
ing two dozen tins of tomatoes Last
year the packers only put up ASS, 22l
cases.
The American Grocer, which has been
collecting figures on this enormous to-
mato pack attributes it in part to the
fact that in the three preceding years
the amount of tomatoes put up was
short of the requirements The result
was that, for the first time in a quarter
of century or more. stocks We're COM
pletely exhausted, leaving the market
in Canada as well as in the United
States so bare that it forced an early
start this year on the pack. which went
into consumption as fast as it was
available.
This put a premium on canned to-
matoes. Every factory has been work
ed to its maximum capacity and in
spite of an Irregular crop-NeW Yorl1's
owing to the wet weather being almost
a total failure-the production is be-
yond the usual requirements, and there
is hope of saving a small supply for
next year in case the crop should be
poor.
Maryland has canned the most to-
matoes, putting up 4,514.382 cases
against a million and three-quarters
last year. Nebraska was the least pro
ductive state. 1t has supplied only
1852 cases.
Authorities on the tomato market
say that the unusual high purchasing
power of the people, due to the general
prosperity. has created an enormous
demand for prepared foods. and, in
spite of the higher cost of tomatoes
the demand is urgent and fncessant.
So in spite of the increased produc-
ton it IS not likely that canned to-
matoes will be any cheaper than usual

The Gilmores are English people. and.
until the time that Miss Ray was Il
years old, she lived in Canada. Here
she went to school. posed under the Eng

part in school tableaux.
Family changes, reverses of fortune
and the hand of fate brought the girl
with her family to Gotham. and here
looking for way to help-as all Goth
am girls do-she happened into a studio
with friend And from that minute
her fortune was made
Miss Gilmore is little girl in one
sense for she is only II. In another she
is a very big girl, for she stands 5 feet
6 inches and is magnificently developed.
She is wide chested, big hipped and an
