From a Can of Tomatoes.

The day OF the garden tomato has
gone by for this year. To be sure, we
have fresh tomatoes from the hothouse
now and then. but we cannot use them
as lavishiy as We can use their Tar
cheaper garden counterparts in the
summer and early autumn.
The canned tomato Is in every way
as good as the fresh one for season
ing and favoring. and il should be even
more largely used in this way than II
is by most of us. Tomato flavor adds
Infinitely to the flavor of soups and
stews-providing, of course, that you
like tomato.

the rural population of the United
States was 35.3S3,%45 and the urban
population was 14,11243S. In other
words. 70.5 per cent of the people lived
in the country or in towns of less than
$500 inhabitants and only 29.5 per cent
in towns of $500 or more inhabitants.
Thirty years later. in 1910. the rural
population was 4a,34S,SS3 and the urban
population 42.623,3S3, the percentage
being So. for the rural and 46.3 for the
urban. 1t is estimated that today the
urban population has passed the rural
and that more people live in towns of
$500 or more inhabitants than live In
smaller towns and in the country.
Lacking in definiteness as these hg-
ures are. there is no concealing the
fact that the farm is not holding its
own. The rapid increase of non-essen-
tial industry has drawn an ever-ln-
creasing proportion of the people away
from the soil and made them non-pro-
ducing consumers of soil products. 1t
is possible that their absence from the
farm has been overcome in part by I'M
provements in farm machinery. better
use of fertilizer and better farm meth
ods. But better machinery. fertilizer
ard methods had first to overcome de-
pletion of the natural fertility OF the
soil. and the margin left to make up
for deserting labor has not been large
enough to keep the price of farm prod
ucts from advancing steadily.

Recent census figures show that
while the population of the United
States has increased 100000 people
in the last fifteen years, the number of
beef animals has decreased 100000
and the number of sheep 10,oo0,ooo,
while the number.of hogs has Increased
ONLY II 600 900. This means not only
that the supply of beef and mutton and
wool for clothing is actually less than
il was when we had 2i,0o0,G0o fewer
peop1e but the absence of all those
animals from the farm cuts down the
SUNNY of the most valuable of all fer
tiliZers resulting in less production to
the acre or the use of expensive chem
icaL fertilizers, which increases the cost
of production.

Bennie Dog took the jelly and broth

Bonnie Dog went away thinking it
was very nice to be sick, and on the
way home he met Ned Dog, who lived
over the hill.

Leveredge wanted to talk. He re-

rooms that he had met Brooke and
there driven his bargain for the sale
of the picture. Now that he was on
the subject he remembered the mys-
terious disappearance of Lady Brooke.
He talked.
