Puzzlers Are All Renewing
Acquaintance With Celebrities

When solutions 10 the Mystic Fish
Pond came in In such large numbers I
thought the puzzlers liked fishing parties
best. but judging from the number of
solutions I have received to this week s
contest I think they are just as fond
az renewing an acquaintance with the
American celebrities.

Market ShOqUS Shortage
Of All Green Vegetables

With the exception Of celery and cab
bage. kale shortly will be about the
only green vegetable on the market.
At present the supply OF kale is en-
tirely homegrown. The supply is about
up to that Of last year. but, if anything,
the vegetable shows a slight falling OFF
IN point Of quality. Demand for kale
should not reach its height before the
latter part of December, and, at that
time. Norfolk shipments will be counted
upon to replenisb the exhausted local
supply,
There was only a limited amount of
green corn on the market today, and
the same was true of tomatoes Both
of these vegetables are expected to be
entirely of the market by the end %
the week Both are of unusual quality,
considering the lateness of the season,
and the concluding shipments are being
readily taken by retailers and as readily
disposed of to consumers.

The Moon and Potatoes.

The moon has nothing to do with
potatoes. This statement sounds
about as self-evident as commence
ment Grafton, yet, according to a
recent investigation by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, 75 per cent. of
our farmers have been planting po-
tatoes and other crops according to
the Almanac. 1t is a very general
belief that potatoes planted in the
dark of the moon produce the best
crop while the full moon variety are
likely to "run to tops"
1t seems absurd to suppose that a
respectable old moon'like ours could
find nothing better to do than to
stay up nights running the potato
crop. So uncle Sam, who has an un-
quenchable curiosity in such matters,
began poking into the moon myth
and that it deserved respect only be-
cause of it's age. His Agricultural
Department workers found that they
could raise just as poor potatoes in
the dark of the moon as in the
light.

each season by still fishing. 1t has

A runner is being circulated among
Eagles Mere folk that the Lehigh

foundation, and has caused no end

The Legislature of the State of
Washington recently passed strin-
gent law against the cigarrett. 1t
makes it a misdemeanor for any per-
son to smoke, have in his possession
or offer for sale cigarretts in the
State. The act provides for the ar
rest of any person who USES cigarretts
and the police authorities are IN
structed to enforce the law on all
persons in the confines of the State,
whether they be citizens or visitors.
Pennsylvania has an anti-cigar-
rette law, but it is practically dead
letter, little or no effort being made
to enforce it. 1t is doubtful if Wash
ington will do much better in that
respect. Too much cannot be said
against the baneful practice of cigar
rett smoking, but there seems to be
an inconsistency in a man arresting
IA boy for smoking cisorrcttcs wh1Ie
he holds a pipe or cigar in his mouth.
Heredity and example are both
strong factors in determining the
trend of a child, and the father who
transmits the taint of tobacco to his
boys veins, and then deliberately sets
the example of smoking cannot ex-
pect his boy to do otherwise.
Ifany body on earth ought to be
interested in preserving a boy from
physical and mental degeneracy, and
in assisting him in keeping his God
given powers in their best working
condition, it is the father. If he
has not love enough for his offspring
to refrain from habits of indulgence
himself he cannot expect the boy to
to be kept in line by statutory limi-
tations. The people are picking up
the cigarette evil by the wrong end
of the handle. New age.

Congress and the Country.

When President Taft proposed the

the net income Interpretations to be
launched the policy of his admins
tration on the ground swell of
vast popular movement. He put be-
hind his special message the pres
sure of great masses of the people.
This is passing t ] tax in the face
of seething opp ion in congress
and clamorou~ .>fotest from corpo-
rate wealth. Nobody likes to be
taxed, corporate wealth least of all.
No corporation wants to be forced in
to publicity. No one of the great
trusts wants to be required to file
sworn statements of its business and
profits, false figures in which would
bring its officers to Jail. Few Con-
gressmen want these things. But
President Taft was elected because
the people believed that he would
make efficient and render effective
the reforms which President Roose-
welt had urged. Chief among these
reforms was the Federal regulation
of corporations and publicity for
their business.
The corporation tax is about to be-
come law because it will give both
Federal and publicity.
