Mammoth Vegetable Product
OF Girls Tomato Club.

The Meschacebe has received
from Superintendent Dupuy a
tomato grown by Miss Helen
Hart, of the Reserve Tomato
Club. The sample weighed 26
ounces and was the largest re-
ceiyed by Mr.. Dupuy.
The difference between a 6
ounce tomato and a rs ounce to-
mato is knowledge. The efficien-
cy displayed is measured by
knowledge and the ability to uti-
lize that knowledge for increased
production. The difference there
fore is not muscular but mental.
We congratulate the Reserve
Tomato Club upon the success
achieved by one of its members.

Hanoino Pictures.

Did you ever realize that hang
ing pictures in your home was
quite an art. The mannerin which
they are hung makes a great diff
ference in the appearance of a
room. We made the above remark
to one Of our decorators the other
day and this what he said in reply;
That fact is thrust upon me near
" every day. | Igo into some par
lors where the pictures are hung
so high that all perspective is lost,
and the ceiling seems to be hope
lessly' high. Other folks hang
theirs so low that it hurts your
spine to look at them, in addition
to stranining your eyes, spelling
the beauty Of the room and taking
from the value of the picture.
A picture should not chung
on the same level. as they so of
ten are, yetal should be as near
" on the level with the eyes as
possible. If square and oblong
pictures are alternated irregular
" with round and oval ones the
best possible effect IS gained. :

Ripples past my ear:

So ask them. sWhy p

Why He Couldn't sit Down.

Harry, aged six, is an orphan; but
an indulgent grandmother and kind
maiden aunt have taken care of him.
The first pair Of knickerbockers were
secured recently. and 1t was proud
moment for the boy when his aunt
put them on him on Sunday morning
and he was permitted to go to church
with his grandmother. : Naturally
maiden aunts know very little about
the arrangement OF knickerbockers.
and there was suspicious fullness in
front and an equally mystifying tight
ness in the back to be observed, as
the little chap trudged happily along.
In church Harry sat down, but did
not appear comfortable and stood up.
Harry. sit down." whispered his
grandmother. He obediently climbed
back on the seat, but soon slipped on
again. Harry, you must sit down."
Grandma, can't. My pants is chok-
ing me-" She looked more closely
than her dim sight had before permit

But how old is her" "Oh, weel, l
couldn' tell to bit," was the reply.
Il never was much good at remem-
bering dates, but 'e's nobbut a pup.

tained that the animal In question
was a very, very old-fashioned puppy,
and the magistrate inflicted the usual
fine. Shortly afterward the farmer
was met by a friend who wanted to
know how he had Jared at the police
court. "Nobbut middlin'," was the re-
ply. did they fine your" YES" re-
