The tomato is one of the most satis- factory of all garden crops and one
 that is found in practically every vegetable garden. No matter how
 small the garden space available, it is always advisable to have a few to-
 mato vines.
 Tomatoes will grow in almost any
 good soil. but the soil should not be too high in nitrogenous matter as this will cause the plants to go to vine, rather than to fruit. The plants should be started in the window box
 or in the hotbed, some six weeks be- fore time to set them in the open. For best results they should be trans planted at least once.- It is possible to secure a crop much soner by care fully growing the plants indoors in
 pots and transplanting to the open ground as soon as conditions permit.
 They should not be set in the open i until about two weeks after the last | killing frost. If set sooner than this, they should in all cases be- protected l from frost with 8 muslin cover or with 1 boxes covered with glass or by other | means.
 The pot-grown plants are especially | desirable as they may be brought to the bloming period by the time it is warm enough to plant them in the 1 garden. If the plants are not to be trained, but allowed to lie on the l ground, they should be set about 1
 feet apart each way. If trained to singlt stalk and tied to stakes or 2
 erellis, they may be planted in rows
 feet apart, and IS inches apart in the row. If to be used for table purposes only. 25 plants under good conditions | will supply the average family. If
 for canning. from 50 to 100 plants will 1 be necessary. One hundred plants | should supply sufficient tomatoes for
 present use, and enough to can at least 100 quarts.
 Under favorable conditions, toma-
 toes will continue to grow and bear l for the entire season, and it should l not be necessary to set a late crop U. S. Department of Agrieulturt.

LIBERTY BOND COLLECTION F.. IN CATHOLIC CHURCHES
Viii Be Taken Up in All Parishes To. morrow at Request of Bishop Milan

In announcing diocesan collection
 for bond buying tomorrow Sunday Right Rev. Bishop Nolan addressed "a letter to the pastors of his diocese in support of the third Liberty loan, which letter was read to the congre- gations at all the masses last Sunday In substance the letter says:
 | As loyal citizens of our country, we
 owe it to those upon whom rest the
 great burdens of administration to supply what is aptly termed the si- news of war" However great may | be the strength of a nation and abun- dant it's natural resources. both will be held in abeyance unless money is forth Incoming to equip our soldiers and sustain them in the conflict. To send them forth improperly armed and meagerly fed would be to expose the flower of our youth, weak and de- l fenseless in the face of the enemy and invite certain defeat to our ar mics. According to the latest advices the American forces are grappline with a powerful foe.
 Every congregation in this state is represented in the battle line. As ou, heroes advance to meet the shock oi battle for the defense of our homes and liberties. it would i'll become us to hesitate or to count the cost ir money while they do not refuse the sacrefice of their lives.
 We trust, with Gods help, that naosi of them will return unharmed to theil homes, bearing the laurels of victory lhut without doubt thousands. who es.
 cape death will need immediate an6 skilful attention that can be furnish. ed only in thoroughly equipped hos. pitals both abroad and at home.
 The money derived from this cam. paign is to be used extensively for tls 1 protection and preservation of thu lives of our soldiers. We earnestl, Ihone that our people will respont with the same hearty cooperation al Fhas marked the support of the gov.
 ernrnent on former calls, and that the, Twill stand ready for any sacrifice til I the purpose of this war Is accomplish, ed and the Lord sends peace to oul beloved nation.
 1 The purchase of these bonds, more over. is not only a, mark of ,confidenc, 1 in fine government and a practica evidence of our support in the strug r gle now at it's height, but also Is isafe and profitable investment to pro vide against the day of need whicl
 may come to individuals or families

By half past five in the. afternoon people were as sembling at the hall-anxious to secure a good seat and long before the usual hour of opening the doors every avail able space was crowded; chairs and stools were brought in and men even held others in their laps. There were between 1,500 and 1900 present and a fair per centage was ladies.
 Ths police force under Captain sSman appeared on the streets Satur- Eday afternoon in full uniform and marched to the West Side where after forming in line they discharged their revolvers to put in new charges, the old ones having been in two years. On their return they were marched into Williams saloon where lunch was spread for the officers.

 suited in a democratic victory and James E. English was elected governor by good majority. The republicans however, carried both branches of the | legislature In Norwich Joseph Sel- den and William R. Potter defeated

British. American War Rcnegt Fund.

The total, amount collected up to April 6. is s1,035 and we have just sent a check to headquarters for one hundred dollars. This makes a total of one thousand dollars which has been sent since the fund was eFgan- ized. This speaks well for the peo- pie of Taftville and yet there are many who could make this society a greater good by adding their bit to the cause. There was never time when it was more needed. Our small sacrifice is nothing to be compared with what the boys are making at this time over in France. @t
 This letter has been received from headquarters.
 Dear MT. Adams:
 We are more than grateful to the TaftviIle branch for its magnificent donation and find it difficult to eS- press to you sour thanks for all that you have done. Your society has brought an immense amount of relief and comfort to many sufferers and am sure that if you realized how greatly you have helped you would be more than content
 Sincerely yours,
