INCREASING VOLUME OF
TOMATO INDUSTRY

Milan, Tenn.-Gibson county is
now engaged in marketing one of
the biggest tomato crops in its his
tory. The crop came in early, and
since the opening hundreds of hands
have been busy picking and packing
the fruit and the shipping points
have been crowded with business.
Though at no time in the season
have phenomenal prices prevailed
a good average price has been paid
and this has resulted in very good
prices for the grower. Some idea
of the volume of the tomato industry
and the amount of money involved
may be realized when it is learned
that up to the present time approx
mately 800 carloads have been ship
ped from the principal points, Milan,
Humboldt and Gibson. Each car
contained $50 crates, and the aver
age price paid per crate is SO cents,
making to the credit of the tomato
growers of these sections approx
nately 100000. These figures do
not by any means cover all the to-
natoes shipped in the county for
many hundred crates were shipped
n less than car lots and also by ex-
'ress, besides quantities of this fruit |
las been shipped from Cades and |
ther tomato sections. The season
will last for perhaps a week yet.

LIVE DAYS ON TOMATOES
WITH NO WATER IN SIGHT

Minneapolis, Aug. 2.-How six
teen men lived for four days without
drop of water and without suffer
ing any inconvenience was told by
John Waiting, who said he was one
of the party.

1879" said Mr.. Waiting. eve were
helping to lay out the Northern Pa
cifc railroad. 1t was in July we
were ordered to move from Rugby
Junction, N. D., to the neighborhood
of MinOt to pick up a line where it
had been dropped by another party.
owe hadn't gone far in the bis
tering sun when we discovered that
there was no water fit to drink.
Shining white patches in the low
ground and about every little lake
or pond told us we couldn't drink
The horses were of the same opinion
Their tongues were hanging out of
their mouths, and we were half dead
from thirst, hoping soon we would
get out of the alkali country.
at seemed like an accident, but
when we stopped for lunch one of
the boys said he allowed he would
have some of the canned tomatoes
and eat them raw.
"He ate the tomatoes and said, |
Boys, this is as good as water"
"The upshot of it was we had raw
tomatoes as often as a fellow felt |
thirsty. 1t was lucky we had plenty
We had brought along six cases.
"Did We feed tomatoes to the
horses? No, sir. The horses took
care of themselves. They licked the
lew off the grass at night"

in amazement when several thous-
and tons of ice foated down the
flooded river under blazing sun.
Startled persons who investigated
found that the ice came from wreck

when warm water, overlooking from
the river, melted the lower layers of
ice.

THE HOME CIRCLE

Column Dedicated to Tired

Evening Tide.
The Newspapers Are Preaching Better
Than Preachers.


Newsuapers received an unusual ana
marked tribute the other day when the
Rev. Charles A. Eaton, pastor OF one OF
the largest churches in New YORK
City and one of the foremost clergy
men in the country, resigned his cnarge
in order to carry on. his chosen work
not in another pulpit, but through the
press.
II is DIR. Eaton's belief, shared by
many others, that public opinion. IN
this country must be awakened TO It's
RESPONSIBILITIES in the REIMBURSEMENT
which is bound to follow the great
war DR.. Eaton will preach this sub
iect. but not from the pulpit the
newspaper will carry his message to
the world in future. In relinquishing
his post the eminent clergyman saiu:
"At present the newspapers are
preaching better than the preachers
ana it lis through the press that l hope
TO work. In common with the rest OF
the world, America is entering upon
a new age. and feel it my duty 10
help in forming public opinion and IN
terpreting the vast and complicated
problems which confront u.s."
The foregoing is but another PROOF
OF the growing influence and power
for the community exerted BY the
newspaper to-day. II is not so many
wears ago that any close connection
between the clergy and the press was
snfficient cause for a considerable rails
ing Of eyebrows among the reverend
gentlemen and their followers. Time
and experience and. it must be admit
ted. a higher standard among newspa-
pers have changed this attitude
The press and clergy are today work
ing hand in hand, as they should work.
and preaching religious as well as CIV
10 righteousness through the newspa-
pers is an accepted fact. for. while the
pulpit addresses itself to hundreds. the
newspaper speaks TO thousands.
