WHAT WERE THEY THERE FOR
Reporters Seemingly Superfuous
Question as TO Happenings at
Cabinet Meeting.

Postmaster General Meyer Is OF a
serious urn of mind. but he has a bit
Of humor in his makeup, nevertheless.
Being looked upon as the shrewdest
politician in the presidents cabinet, he
is the objective point for newspaper
correspondents on cabinet days.
Last week as Mr.. Meyer emerged
from the White House a newspaper
man asked:
"Mi. Postmaster General, can't you
give us some news about the cabinet
meetings?'
There really is nothing to say" re
plieC the cabinet officer. I'VE dis
cussed nothing Of especial impor'
lance"
) do you mean to say you did not
discuss politics?" the newspaper man
queried.
The postmaster general burst into
laughter. When he recovered his US
ual serenity he said:
do you suppose we were all muz
zled?"

PIN MONEY FOR
FARMERS WIFE
Variou Ways for the Women
e Eorn "A Penny.

In advising n farmers wife or
daughter to earn money most people
will say hens garden truck" or
bees" Now, il you live on a farm,
you know that hens and garden truck
don't thrive TO a very great extent on
the same farm. And If they did the
family and hired help would play hobb
with the profits OF either. for the first
will uniformly go to pay the grocer,
and the second fill the INNER man,
But | believe bees can be proitably
kept II you know how and are not
afraid of them. Now, | don't know
and am afraid of them, so will leave
that to some ADLER pen to explain, says
the Agricultural Epitomist.
One way to carr a penny is to start
tomatoes and cabbage plants in the
house early; put only one plant in
each tin can that is unsoldered and
tied together with a string; keep them
growing, and II they are ready TO bios
som by the time all danger Of frost is
past so much the better. Dig a hole
where you want TO SCI them, wet the
dirt in the car thoroughly, unite your
string, slip a knife around the can and
slip your tomato into the hole: press
the dift around IL and IL will never
know II has been transplanted, anC
you can sell tomatoes at Is cents 6
dozen before your neighbors' vines are
In bloom.
Cabbage and melons and cucumber'
can be treated the same way, and are
all a paying crop. while lettuce ani
radishes can be grown ready for mar
ket in the bay window or upstairs 1
your house is reasonably warm.
