Grow Tomatoes.

If you grow only an acre or two of
tomatoes, the fruits saved from one
large, vigorous plant will produce
more than enough seed for your whole
plantation next year. Is 1t not worth
while, therefore, to consider this mat
ter? Have you not found one or more
plants in your field which are espe-
cially valuable because of their large
production of fine tomatoes? Try this
plan of saving your own seed and

OPPOSE
NAVY INCREASE
Democrats in House Decline
to Favor Appropriation.

Washington, July 25. The Demo
Gratis Of the house again went on rec
ord as opposed to any additions to the
battleship fleet. This unexpected ac-
ton apparently destroys all hope Of the
navy for obtaining even one battleship
from the present session Of congress.
The action Of the house Democrats
was taken In opposition Of the wishes
Of Leader Underwood, and also 1t is
understood in opposition to the desire
Of Woodrow Wilson. BY several Dem
ocratic leaders it is contended even
that the action was a violation Of the
plan adopted at Baltimore, which
pledges the party to provide for IAN
adequate navy" for national defense.
Considerable comment WAS caused
by the fact that Speaker Clark voted
in the caucus against any addition to
the battleship fleets. The caucus was
the third that the Democrats have held
on this subject, and in each instance
they have voted against appropriations
for any additions to the navy.
