Swat Him

Consider now the little fly, whose
name is rhymed with Baby-Bye
He has his birth in the manures
crawls forth and loiters in the
sewers;
And Smeared with deadly typhoid
germs, he leaves his brother
maggot-worms.
Unfurls his dainty wings of silk
and dumps his microbs in the
milk
Where their huge numbers mount
and mount, increasing the bac-
terial count,
Until they reach the food supply
some woman feeds her Baby
Bye.
The fly comes gaily unto us, his
feet all gummed with poison
puS,
And singing clear his song so
sweet, alights and cleans them
on the meat.
He gathers scarlet-fever spores
and leaves them on the walls
and floors;
He is not proud, and oft will
stoop to carry heavy loads Of
Group;
And place them where their aw-
full death may come and go with
baby's breath.
Oh, do not call him indolent. He
calls that summer day miSspent
In which he fails to load the
breeze with the live germs Of
some disease;
And if he finds them not, tho hurt,
he'll be content with just plain
dirt.
Consider well the little fly, who
buzzes so round Baby-Bye.

A Cash Basis for All

"There never was a more OPP
perfume time for the business OF
the south to get on a cash basis
than now" said prominent bust
ness man a few days ago. In or
der to work the country around
to a cash basis this citizen thought
that just such a period of econ
omy as we have been going thro-
ugh is needed. The business of
the country has been ON slow
schedule for some months, and be-
fore it gets steamed up the bust
ness man is furnished with an op-
portunity to get his business ON a
cash basis.
There can be no doubt about the
need of this reform. We have
suffered, and still suffer, much by
reason of the credit system we
have been burdened with. Now
seems a good time to gradually
work out from under it and once
we do get away from it there will
be a new prosperity come to us.

man who buys would be helped in

merchant who has his profits on

times come the merchant is facing
disaster, and he is helpless too.

For Mothers

Mother, do you ever think that
your babe Of today is to be the
MAN Of tomorrow That what
you teach him the first seven
years Of his life is what forms his
character for all time? Do you
know that your baby knows moth
ing when born, but that every OBJ
ject, sound, or person who comes
near him influences his whole life?
Do you know that the food he eats,
the clothes he wears help to make
or mar his whole future? DO you
know that whipping and pounding
is not training? Do you know
that your baby is not responsible
for his faults, but that you are?
Do you ever think that it is your
duty to read and study, that you
may know how to train an immOr-
tai soul? The most wonderful,
the most beautiful, the most re-
sponsible thing in the world is
Motherhood. The greatest honor
any woman can receive is the
crown of Motherhood.

Florida Ships More Tomatoes
Than all the Rest Of the States

early in the year and continuing
until late in the fall, tomatoes are
shipped commercially from over
half of the states of the Union
There is probably no other perish,
able vegetable commonly grown
out of doors in the United States
which appears on the market
through longer season than does
the tomato.
Florida, of course, with its To-
cation and climate, stands as the
premier tomato state and starts
the tomato movement each year
| in January. The northern states,
such as New York and Ohio, fin
ish out the season in October, and
by the time the movement is over,
Approximately twelve thousand
cars are moved for table con
sumption, according to a recent
survey made by the department
of agriculture and published in
Bulletin No. 290, "Rail Shipments
and Distribution of Fresh Toma-
toes in 1914"
Florida ships 5000 cars, about
half the tomatoes moved, with
Mississippi, New Jersey and Tex
as handling approximately 1900
cars apiece. The other states
grow tomatoes in smaller quanti-
ties but in certain districts such as
west Tennessee, the crop is Of
great local Importance.
The bulletin presents figures
showing that total Of twelve
thousand cars were moved; but
this by no means represents the
entire tomato crop, since an eff
fort was made to exclude those
going to canneries and catsup
factories. When demand for to-
Imatoes in the markets is heavy, it
lis more profitable to ship the to-
Imatoes which were originally in
tended for the canneries, but if
THE market is weak larger quanti-
ties are offered for canning.
There are certain localities
where it is more profitable to
raise tomatoes for canning than
for table use, New York, Della
ware and Ohio put the bulk of
their production into the can, so
that the total used for this pur-
pose is more than that shipped for
table use.
Most of the table tomatoes are
picked when green and wrapped
IN paper to ripen on the way to
market in ventilated ears. Texas
for a number of years has prefcrr-
ed to send its crop to market pick
ed when ripe and shipped in iced
cars. Near many cities large
quantities of tomatoes are
shipped when fully ripe by elec-
trio lines, trucks and other con-
veyances.
The different tomato-growing
localities endeavor to raise their
crop so as not to be in competi-
ton with each other, and every cf-
fort is made to rush the crop to
before the local tomatoes
come in. The last of the southern
crop is frequently wasted because
it cannot sell in competition with |
northern tomatoes.
The bulletin published by the
department of agriculture con-
tains charts showing tho shipping
periods of the various states,
map with the tomato-producing
sections indicated and a list Of the
railroad stations shipping toma-
.oes with the amount shipped from
each.
