USE THE MODERN METHODS
Process Of Manufacturing "oId Shef.

Up to Date.

"Old Sheffield plate" is not manu-.
factured in England at the present
time; at least not the real old article
in the real old way. The method for.
merly used was to braze or weld a
thin sheet of silver on either side OF
thicker sheet of copper, and then
to roll this combined metal to sheet

ed on both sides with an actual sur.
face of silver.
The process of electroplating is
much cheaper and quicker and has
superseded the old method to such an
extent that articles manufactured by
the old process would now cost quite
as much as the same articles in
sterling silver. In some parts OF
England, the United States consul at
Sheffield says In Consular and Trade
Reports, INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
do not hesitate to produce copies OF
old patterns by the electroplating
process and then palm them off on
unsuspecting purchasers as genuine.

Plow or spade deep and when ready
to set out the plants mark of in rows
two feet one way and four feet the
other. After the ground is marked
off, set stakes or small poles not lesi
than five feet high for each plant.
In choosing the plants do not Sc
lect tree tomatoes, as they are moi
prolific, but pick out some good
smooth, meaty variety. Set the plant
on the south side of the stake, about
four inches from 1t, and train same
to stake as it grows, tying with binder
twine or cloth strings, which are pre-
ferable. Many times when the vine.
are very rank two branches will start
to grow from the top, but clip one of
allowing only one to grow to
height of five feet, then clip the tops
and keep them clipped, which will
hasten the ripening, and convert al
the strength of the vine into fruit.
When the plants are eight or II
inches high, little runners or shoots
will appear in the forks. Here is
where the whole secret lies. These
runners sap the main vine and turr
all the strength into vines instead Of
tomatoes. When they appear pincf
them off and allow only one main vine
to grow. The fruit buds or blossoms
will also appear in the same fork, but

Secretary Knox would be inopportune,
owing to the fact that Colombia's 8

ALL SEEK SPELLING HONORS
THE MACON COUNTY CONTESTS
AROUSE MUCH INTEREST!
Great Rivalry Between Town and
Rural Schools for Representation
at State Meet.

Macon, Missouri.-The 5000 public
school students of Macon county will
be represented at the county spelling
contest by seven spoilers selected at
district matches this winter. OF these
district champions, four are girls and
three are boys. Four are from rural
schools and three from town schools.
Now the big question is whether a
town or rural school speller carries off
the final honor at the county match
March 80, and whether the champion
to go to the state match at Jefferson
City will be boy or girl.
The district champions are Ruby
Dennis, Anabel (ruraD school; Lloyd
Roberts, Gibson (ruraD school; Ida
Lee Stephenson, High Hill Gown
school, Velma Campbell, McGee Holi-
ness college (town); James Hibler,
La Porte (ruraD school; Elgin Tur-
ner, La Plata (town) school.
Ruby Dennis, youngest of the dis
trict champions, is 10 years old. The
winner of the county championship
will receive a gold medal worth $40,
his school will be given $40 library
The second and third best spoilers
will each receive S. gold piece.
"These Matches said Prof. Cross,
county superintendent, who is con-
ducting the matches, have had a Won
derful effect, and the good they have
done will be felt on every other
study"
The present campaign for higher
order Of spelling is just what Prof.
D. Jones of Schuyler county sought to
accomplish many years ago. Prof.
Jones has always taught spelling as
one Of the principal branches, and it
is more than likely that student of
his will make close race for the
championship of Schuyler county.
