Good Tomatoes For
Canning in Market

Higher prices for potatoes, which
tend to make this vegetable almost
luxury, a Plentiful supply Of tomatoes
for canning and d scarcity of peaches
from the west feature the market for
this week. according to local grocers
Potatoes have been temporarily scarce
because many farmers have been SO
busy th-esh:ng they have not had time
TO bring them in, but the prices are
high anyway. and will continue So
Thlrty-hve cents a peck is>the average
price for new potatoes now, which is
far higher than last year
Altho this table necessity is high in
price, one kind in particular is recon-
mended by local grocers as being fine
for table use. This is the Virginia
Cobblers. At present they are up in
price. but excellent in quality.
Tomatoes grown at home are daily
becoming more plentiful and of better
grades Canning tomatoes will be on
the market in abundance and should
hold out long enough to give house
wives a. chance to put up plenty for
the winter
Corn Is gradually giving OUT, anu
home grown watermelons are some
what disappointing this year in quail
ity and quantity both. Southern
peaches are practically gone, and the
western crop is said to be short.
GroCers think there will not be much
canning of this fruit this season and
are pushing canned peaches. Other
vegetables, such as green peppers,
summer squashes and small pumpkins
are always TO be had. What few ap-
pies have been sent in have not been
Of extra quality.

RECOMPENSE

Straight through my heart this fact
today
Bv Truth IS own hand is driven
God never takes one thing away
But something else is given,
I did not know in carrier years
The law of love and kindness;
I only mourned through bitter tears
My loss in sorrows blindness.
But, ever following each regret
Ger some departed treasure,
My sad, repining heart was met
With unexpected pleasure,
I thought it only happened so;
But time this truth has taught
me-
No least thing from life can go
But something else is brought me.
It is the law, complete, sublime;
When any joy is taken.
In patience l but wait my time
AMI now, with faith unshaken,
No natter if the crushing blow
May for a moment down me,
Still, back Of it waits love, know,
With something else to crown me.

THE LURE OF SPRING

By Helen Richardson
Lo, Spring is coming!! how the cat
tie sniff the balmy air!
List the impatient stamping of their
feet the mute despair
With which they watch the close shut
stable door
That bars them in;
,Voicing their disapproval by low moo
And gentle whin. ..,
Then note the robins jubilant refrain
Tho bluebird's call;
The blackbird's whistle from the mar
shes, and Above them all,
The song sparrow a-quiver with the
joy That thrills it when
It hears Springs rustling garments
trailing through
The field and glen.
IT'S not humanity alone sends forth
It's note of praise
For unlocked streams, for fields IN
verdure clad, For length ming day
From sanctioned stalls hoof beats
demand release --.-..
For Natures thrall
That lures to field and wood and
limpid stream,
Is felt by ALL.

.ernEpnI REGULATION
GASOLINE

Congress has now taken up !ne
question of the high cost OF gasollne
with energy promising speedy re-
suits The Senate has adopted VIII
out dissent resolution calling on 49,. Inc
Attorney General to investigate e ons
sensational rise in gasoline prtSeS
with a view Of discovering "he.ne'
il is due to any unlawful comDiha,
ton, while the House has autnorlzeo
an open investigation, and b1lls are
before it providing for the regula-
ton of gasoline prices by the fedef-
al Trade Commission. ..-
This concerted action is pretty
certain to effect some form OF RENE
dial legislation. Perhaps it may
seem that Congress has very sud
denly awakened to conditions that
have long been oppressive. But II
is not now merely a question Of the
cost of gasoline to the plutocratlc mo-
florists. With automobiles and gas
olina engines on every farm, the
pinch Of high prices affects constitu-
ents whose rights deserve protection,
and Congress has risen to the occa.
sion with becoming promptness. II
might have remained Indifferent to
dollar gasoline for city consumers,
but l. exhibits characteristic public
spirit in Fastening to protect the
plain people of the prairies from the
oppression of monopoly.
At least the urban automobile ow-
ner will share in any relief legisla-
ton designed for the benefit Of the
farmer. And perhaps the common
interest created by the extension IF
plutocratic influences in agricultural
life may advantage city people in
other kinds Of legislation.
