 Shops to Close Friday.
 The three large concerns in Ken sington, the American Paper Goods company, the Berlin Construction company and the G. Prentice Manu- featuring company, will close down Good Friday.
 Owing to the very large amount of work on hand at the present time, the officials of the Berlin Construc ton company have decided to operate their plant overtime two nights this week and until 3:45 o'clock Satur- day afternoon, so that no time will be lost. -
 Some of the departments of the Prentice factory, particularly the tool division will be operated Friday, but all the girl employees will be given the entire holiday. This concern is quite busy now turning out samples and it's president, George Prentice, looks forward to an extremely busy season.. <

the opportunity had come. entirely
lacking. Yesterdays warning that he
was not to recognize the existence OF
a gambling hall in that city-and that.
after he had made special detailed
report OF one-so depressed his fine
conscientious spirit that he could not
bring himself to view part of his
work with the enthusiasm so charac-
teristic OF him.
II. he thought, this foul corruption
existed in the Office of an executive so
trusted as the district attorney, what

since he entered the government serv-
ice, how small, how Intellectual was his
personal power for the good he so
wanted to do. How could he fight the
gigantic. irresistible machine, fed by
tho votes of the public, and oiled by
the gold OF unmentionable viceeN-
ploters who bought and sold chief
executives as one might dancing toy
"a toy whose steps were regulated by
the mechanism of the controlling

When he reached his office the next
morning, Mason was surprised to find
young man already there awaiting
him. 1t was the very man, he realized
in fash. who, the night before last
he had seen sitting and drinking with
that dancing girl in the gambling dive
he had stumbled on accidentally-the
same dissipated, pink-faced, tinY-eyed,
low foreheaded individual who had al
lowed himself to be persuaded by the
dancing girl to buck the bank. Mason
wondered. fearfully, apprehensively.
what this young man of all young
men should want in his ofice-won-
dered whether he had been recognized
there In spite of the secluded table he
had picked to escape observation. Was
1t possible that this young bounder had
seen him talking with the dancing girl.
and recognizing him from his numer-
GUS pictures in the paper, had come
up here to be ugly?-possibly with an
attempt at intimidation-at blackmail?
He was alarmed for the moment, but
was quickly TedsSuTeu as lue tiuy-

GROW TOMATOES WITH PEACH
FLAVOR DOWN TOWNSEND WAY
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
TOWNSEND, Del, Oct. Esquire
James d. Carter, of Townsend, is
home again and is the authority for
story about one of the greatest
freaks in tomato raising that has yet
been published. Mr. Carter was tell
ing about a man grating pumpkin
seeds into cantaloupe vines and get
ting cantaloupes with pumpkin flavor.
This result, he said. could be accom-
plished also by planting cantaloupes
vines near the pumpkin vine. His
story though brought out an aston
Usher from Farmer David of Thorough
fare Neck, which is best understood
as told by Squire Carter as follows:
Mr. David gave me a jolt when he
told me about some grating he had
done to a tomato plant and some re-
suits he had obtained by no. grating.
He said that he had some young to-
mato vines and as soon as the main
stems were about the thickness of a
mans little finger he split several of
them and placed two or three canta-
loupe seeds in each. The result he
said he got, made me laugh, for
thought he was jesting. He said that
each tomato vine that he had grated
produced a tomato vine and a canta-
, loupe vine.
"Fruit on the tomato part of the freal
was the same as other tomatoes, but oI
the cantaloupe branch the product re
sembled a tomato in color and shape
contained seeds Of the tomato and the
lcantaloupe and the flavor was mixed
On one vine of his patch he said he haC
raised tomatoes with peach seeds il
