HIS GREAT IDEA.
The Tin Plated Tomato and the Moral
That Goes With Il.

The Tin Plated Tomato and the Moral
That Goes With II.
A good theory that won't work isn't
half as good as poor one that will.
Twenty years ago young man just
out of college had great idea. He
was going 10 tin plate tomatoes. There
was to be no more troublesome pairing
and cooking and canning to preserve
tomatoes throughout winters. 1t would
be necessary only to drop a nice ripe
tomato into his timing solution and II
would come out coated with tin and
would keep for twenty years. In fact,
there wasn't any reason why 1t should
not keep foreyer The young inventor
figured 1t would cost him so cents a
gallon to make this timing solution.
1t surely would sell for So a gallon.
Every one eats tOmatoes--that is, near
ly every one. Everybody would eat
them II they could always have nice
tin plated tomato lying around. He
ought to sell a million gallons year.
That would be profit of a million and
half dol Well, no tin plated toma-
toes are on the market yet, and the
man who invented them is still making
only $40 week.
The moral Of this Is that whenever
you hear OF great idea that IL going
to reform or uplift the world make
sure that 1t is not of the tin plated
tomato Drand.-Chicago Tribune.

The reason that Mr.. Wendell is so
fond OF his part in "rhe Blue Bird" Is
because he is a great lover of dogs.
