CAPITAL REQUIRED,


 The amount of capital necessary to properly conduct a canning business may be much or little, according to the capacity of the factory and the va riety of goods to be canned. There have been remarkable financial suc- ceSses in this business, but equally re- markable failures also, and the latter have frequently been attributed to in- sufficient capital forcing the sale of the entire stock of goods when the market price is low. With sufficient capital to carry the larger part of the stock until there IS real demand for it, fair profit will be realized and dividends may be declared. For in- stance, small factory for canning mir to- matoes, with capacity of 2OOO cans per day may put up SO,0OO cans by op- erating 40 days. It will have a build ing and outfit of machinery and tools costing about $7OO. The cans will cost S1, ,6OO, the tomatoes $1 1000 and the skilled and unskilled labor for 10 days will cost $65O, sundry items of expense $50, making in all total of 4.OOO. If such concern is capitalized at 2,000 with the expectation of making quick sales to pay for materials consumed, it may be forced to sell the entire pack at almost cost to meet it's obligations and then find no profit in the investment, but with capital of S3,0OO or better, $4,OOO, labor may be promptly paid, the farmer will be made happy with his cash and all materials will be paid for at cash prices. The canner is then in- dependent with his pack and can wait for a market that will pay him profit of 10, 15 or even 20 cents per dozen cans of his tomatoes and he has realized from 20 to 30 per cent upon his invest

ASSAULTED
HIS OWN

Daniel n. Tourjee OF Warwick will put

the sentence imposed by Judge Blodgett
at East Greenwich yesterday
In the summer OF 1901 he was arrested
for felonlous assault upon a ls-year-old
daughter, 20 whom a child was born.
While in jail and in May, 1902, he came
down with smallpox: but how he was
exposed 10 that disease has remained a
mystery.
Samuel w. X Allen caused the first
indictment to be quashed upon a tech
nicality
Another grand jury found an indictment
upon which Tourjee was tried and con-
victed.
An appeal was taken and motion for
arrest OF judgment made.
The appeal was not sustained and the
motion was overruled.
When brought up for sentence his
counsel maintained that Tourjee was in
nocent.
Tourjee asked for clemency, suggesting
that he had already been i'm confinement
three years.
Judge Blodgett said that he could see
no reason for clemency and imposed the
maximum sentence
