3. The Extravagance of Cheapness in Sewing Machin
Y Every woman knows the foolish extrava.
gance of buying anything for her house
just because it is cheap.
q Every woman also knows that what seems
dear at first is often cheapest in the end.
g Yet the woman who will urge her husband
to buy thoroughly good overcoat because 1
he gets several seasons wear out of it, often
buys some unknown sewing machine for
herself because of its bargain" price.
q Now the Singer Sewing Machine costs very
little more than thrown-together, catch
penny machines. Yet one Singer will out
last several of the ordinary kind.
y The Singer has earned the reputation of
running as smoothly at the end of its
twentieth or thirtieth year as the day it was
bought. Considering this, the Singer is in
the end the cheapest machine to own.

Ths First Potatoes.

Sir Walter Raleigh, who shares with
Sir Francis Drake the honor Of first
introducing the potato in England
lived at Brixton. England, near Eliza
beth's House. Formby. in Lancashire
also claims the honor of being the site
of the first culture Of the potato in that
country. They are said to have been
grown there by Formby man who
sailed with Sir Walter.
The earliest cultivation OF the potato
In the British islands was probably at
Youghal. on the south coast of Ireland.
where this great navigator had an es
tate.
1t has been generally accepted that
the potato was taken to Europe from
Virginia and that 1t was cultivated
there by the natives. Sir Joseph Banks
and De Condelle both lent the weight
Of their authority to this view, but it
has been ascertained that the Indians
Of Virginia, though they used number
OF tuberous roots. did not know our po-
tato
One of these was the plant sometimes
grown as an ornamental climber in our
gardens and called by botanists Apios
tuberosa. The Indians called the roots
potatoes, and the French Canadians
knew them as pommes de terre, and
our l@tato, being a native OF South
America was scarcely likely to be
known to the Indians of Virginia.
Yet the potato was undoubtedly
introduced in England as part of the
cargo OF one Of Sir Richard Grenville's
ships and landed at Plymouth, and the
ship had gone direct from Virginia and
called nowhere on the way. On the
voyage home. however, 1t had encoun-
tered and captured Spanish ship from
Santo Domingo. The potatoes were a
part of the cargo of the latter vessel.

The remedy lies in the hands of the

This problem of handling and market
ing fruit is not one that can be solved

cooperation on the part of the various
fruit growers. One man may succeed
In establishing reputation for high
