Banana Shortage
Now Is ON the Way

Hard times are ahead for the
pushcart banana man. Also for
banana lovers. For-due to the war
bananas are going to be mighty
scarce In these United States after
the first of the year.
3 The reason Is that Uncle Sam
has taken over many Of the largest
and best vessels In the fruit trade
AS a result, instead Of importing
bananas in the bunch. as at pres
ent. we may import banana flour.
The same food value in banana
flour would require only about one
fourth OF the tonnage.

The Emmitsburg Chronicle tells
what is probably true story from
Maine about the boy who hung his
hat on the top of a cornstalk and the
corn grew so fast in the night that
! the boy couldn't reach his hat in the
morning. That's pretty good for
Maine; but Emmitsburg corn can go
/ it one better. We know a man who,
when he went swimming, hung his
half-pint on a corn stalk When he
came out of the creek the bottle was
10 feet beyond his reach. Said man
started to hack the stalk down, but
the blamed thing grew so fast his knife
wouldn't cut twice in the same place,
and the only way he could recover his
flask was by hanging on to an adjoin-
ing stalk which grew fast enough to
catch up with the other.
