Pointers on Tomato Profits

Pointers On Tomato Profits.
John C. Wolfert, of Mickleton, of
the greatest tomato growers in the State,
gave the Gloucester County Board Of Ag-
riculture, at its meeting in Paulsboro on
Monday, several valuable pointers on
successful tomato farming. He declared
that the shipping part Of farm produce
in general was given too little attention.
Next to the variety grown, Wolfert
gives the greatest care in packing and
grading of tomatoes. He explained the
difference in sending away poorly-packed
goods and nicely-graded, and well-packed
tomatoes. His ledger shows the results.
It was the general opinion of the meet
ing that there is more money in chickens
than what the average farmer gets these
days.
President Joseph Carter presided.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease for
anyoneto attempt to doctor himself, although
he may have tht proper remedies at hand.
A physician should always be called. 1t
should be borne in mind, however, that
pneumonia always results from a cold or
from an attack Of the grip, and that by CIV
ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the
threatened attack Of pneumonia may be
warded off. This remedy is also used by,
physicians in the treatment of pneumonia
with the best results. DR.. w. J. Smith, of
Sanders, Ala, who is also a druggist, says
Of it: 81 have been selling Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and prescribing it in my

eRoHlRlTIoNIsTs FOR SWALLOW
National Convention at indianapolis
Makes Nomination.

indianapolis, Ind, July 1.-The
prohibition party in national conven.
ton yesterday nominated Silas G.
Swallow of Pennsylvania for presi.
dent and George w. Carroll of Texas
for vice-president. The platform was
adopted without argument, after a
long deadlock in the resolutions
committee. 1t was described by |.
H. Ames of Oregon, secretary of the
committee, as the broadcast platform
ever placed before the people by the
party. In addition to the planks on
the liquor question, it declares the
party to be in favor of international
arbitration, suffrage law based on
mental and moral qualifications, uni
form laws for the country and de-
tendencies, popular election of sena.
tors, civil service extension and the
initiative and referendum. The
trust question was recognized by a
demand for a rigid application of the
principles of justice to all organiza-
tons of capital and labor. A re-
form of divorce laws is demanded
and polygamy denounced.
General Miles put an end to the
movement to nominate him for pres
ident by sending to John G. Wooley
a telegram from eNw York which
reached him shortly after noon, ask
ing that his name not be presented.
This was considered final and the
movement to Mr.. Swallow was unani-
nous, no other name being consid.
cred.
Over $4,000 was raised by sub,
scription pledges from the floor OF
the convention, which, with $11 900
in the treasury will be the nucleus
of the campaign fund. The prohibit
ton editors organized for the cam.
paign by electing Edward Clark OF
indianapolis president. The conven,
ton programme closed last night with
a mass meeting, at which addresses
were made by National Chairman

Their advices from the front had been
received up to midnight, though .ews
from General Kuropatkin and Rear
Admiral Without Tin command of the
naval force at Port Arthur) was
eagerly awaited. The usual rumors
of heavy fighting pervaded the city,
but they were based wholly on the
fact that the armies are in close
touch.
Though it appears now from Gen
eral Kuropatkin's tactics that heavy
engagement may be deferred for
some days, it is possible that the Jap
anese may rush matters, but 1t is not
generally expected here that General
Kuropatkin will give battle until he
reaches position of his own selec-

1t may clarity the military situation
to explain that the country in which
the armies are now coming into con-
tact consists of a series of mountain
chains running parallel with the rail-
way along side of which the Rus
SLAMS are falling back as the Japanese
advance. Fen Shut, Mo Tien and Da-

names from the mountains over which
they run. General KurokI, who has
heretofore been east of these noun

erse the passes named before emerg-
ing into the more open country along
the railway, approximately abreast of
Ia Tche Kiao, Hal Cheng and Lao

Japanese advance are now in close

kin's main body, which is supposed
to be somewhere between Lao Yang

General Kuropatkin is now moving
slowly northward along the railway,
and wherever he makes his stand
there will be precipitated what is ex.
pected to be the decisive battle of the
campaign.
In the meantime General Oku is
advancing along the railroad on the
heels of the withdrawing Russians.
He is backed by a powerful army.
How large portion of this army he

severity to the fighting before the
Russians finally abandon the noun.

BIENNIAL ELECTIONS URGED.
Organization to Further Cause OF
One Reform.

One Reform.
Des Moines, June 29.-It is learned
that persons who are interested In
the biennial elections amendment to
the state constitution of Iowa, are
preparing to perfect some sort OF an
. organization, probably at the time OF
the next state convention, for the pur'
pose of furthering the cause of the
amendment which would do away with
half the elections in the state. They
fear that a large body of politicians
will oppose the amendment because
it. would lessen the chance for polit'
ical activity and in view of the small
vote for it two years ago the amend
ment might be beaten.
The amendment comes up for a
vote in November. 1t is substantially
the same as the amendment offered
four years ago, and it would abolish
all general elections in odd numbered
years.
The belief prevails that unless there
is some aggressive work for the amend.
ment it VIII not carry this year.
