Joke on Congressman That Made Him
Many votee.
Some years ago there came To
Washington q representative In Con
gress who was an ardent champion OF
the cause Of prohibition.
One day a friend Of mine from
home dropped in to see the congress
man. During the course Of his stay
he had occasion to use his pocket
/ 'Snife, which the representative much
admired. This knife had in 1t a
hook, designed" so the friend said,
to remove stones that might become
astened In horses hoof on a rocky
"oad." Finally, seeing the intense ad'
niration Of the congressman for the
knife, the friend gave 1t to him. When
the statesman had reached home and
had shown. the gift to his wife, she
laughed.

served three terms in the state sen,

had two terms in Congress- must be

Somehow the story got out and was
copied in nearly every newspaper in
he congressman's state. One day
the congressman met the newspaper

author of the first squib in the matter.
"You did me great SERVICE" smil-

correspondent. "All the Prohibition.

Sweet peas have SO divisions and
some SOC subdivisions. In California,
where almost all the flower seeds are
grown, enc farm Of 500 acres Is given
up to the production Of sweet peas
alone. The total production yearly IL
about $780, 900 pounds, and even when
this amount Is augmented by the yield
frem smaller farms It is almost i'm
possible to meet the demand. Sweet
pea are the most popular flowers in
America for homo gardens, except the
nasturtiums, and even these can not
always compete with the sweet peas.
