THE TOMATO IS AN
 AMERICAN PRODUCT
CBoston Post)


 |, seems hard to realize that II was not many years ago that tomatoes were regarded as poisonous. They were then called love apples and a mother vvho caught sight of her child munc1- ing one. even if the child had long out grown infancy, would have been cer- tain that death was close at hand. me popularity of tomatoes today makes one suspect that a good many other things looked upon with suspicion may some day be much appreciated artlcles in the market of the future.
 Millions of tomatoes are grown each vear hut no estimate has been made abo,it the annual crop in this country w know that about 100000 cases, or "A cans each, are canned annualiy' having A value of nearly sl9,OOO,Ooo. But the number that are raised 10 pc sold in their natural state has not been coniectured That 1t almost beyond comprehension is hinted at In the tact that such tremendous quantities are canned. N other vegetable approaches the tomato in this. Next 10 It rank corn and pease, of which apout slo' 100000 of each are annually cannep'
 Not very many years ago It was ex- tremeIy difficult to get fresh tomatoes at CtTldln Stdbpilo OA SAAS J all of those eaten hereabouts came from New England farms and the sea- son was comparatively short. Exten- sive utilization of hot-beds and green : houses stretched out the period and then the farmers of Florida and Texas began to raise winter crops so that now 1t is possible to buy tomatoes at all seasons of the year.
 The tomato is a purely American product, having originated on the pla- teaus of South America and probably in Peru. It is now cultivated widely through all temperate regions and especially in the United States and in Europe. It is grown in every state in the union. but the biggest yields come from Maryland. New Jersey, Indiana, Delaware and Florida.
 In Italy considerable progress has been made in building up an industry dependent upon tomato seeds. From these an oil is squeezed which has been used with success in the manufacture of soap.

could be bought in the stores or from street vendors for 10 pfennigs, now cost 20 pfennigs, or more. Jumping jacks of paper and cheap picture books can no longer be had except where old supplies are still in stock. Metal toys are few in number. The pretty toy trains. magic lanterns, etc, which used to be so common, have been turned out only by those manufacturers who were also engaged in intuition work and so commanded supplies of the necessary materials.
 Toys which were intended for ex- port, but which could not be shipped owing to the war, made a welcome addition to the supply for home con- sumption. large quantities of the bet ter class of toys being thus put at the service of the home dealer. Great diff faculties stand in the way of convey ance from the maker to the large towns, and only after long delay do toys reach the retailer.

SEIZURES OF SHIPS
 WERE LEGAL IN Fl
(New York Times)

Whatever the views of Holland statesmen may be with respect to the seizure of Dutch vessels by the United States, it cannot be chal- lenged by the German government as violation of law and precedent. Bis marck himself justified the action of the ISrussians in the Franco -Prussian war in taking over vessels of a neu- tral under the law of angaria r December 20 and 21, 1870, Prussian troops took forcible possession of, and scuttled, six British vessels in the Seine near Rouen. These vessels were, of course, neutral In the subsequent correspondence between the British and German governments Bismarck justified the sinking of these ships.
 In note to Count Bernstorff then the German minister at London. he said in part:
 Versailles. January 25, 1S7l-Your excellency will find. with the same satisfaction as myself, that the meas ure in question. however exceptional it's nature did not overstep the bounds of international war usages. A pressing danger was at hand, and every other means of averting it was wanting; the case was, there lore, one or necessity Whlch, even in time of peace, may render the em- ployment or destruction of foreign property admissible, under reserva- tion of indemnification. 1 take the opportunity of calling to mind that similar right in time of war has become a peculiar institute of law, the jus angariae. which so high an authority as Sir Robert Phillmore de- fines thus: That a belligerent power demands and makes use of foreign ships, even such as are not in in- land waters, but in ports and road- steads within it's jurisdiction, and even compels within it's jurisdiction, and even compels the crews to trans port troops, ammunition or imple- ments of warfare.

ANTl-AIRcRAFT GUNS

Anti aircraft guns on the earth can
 not defend the upper skies against air craft sorties with any hope of sue cess. Vulnerable parts on the airplane are armored against penetration by machine gun or rifle bullet. Heavier guns require more time for firing. The gunners must experiment with several smoke shells before they can estimate the altitude. of the airplane. No range finder has yet been devised that tells with any approximation to correctness either the altitude or the speed of the approaching airplane.

TOY INDUSTRY OF
 GERMANY HARD HIT
Board of Trade JournaD

Board of Trade JournaD
 The German toy industry is show ing the effects of over three years of war. Simplicity is the rule in toy shops at present. Wood which was formerly used only for the cheaper sorts of toys. is now the chief material employed. The manufacture of new dolls is becoming impossible through lack of flour tused with cement in making bodies). Wax. which is em- ployed for the heads of the better class dolls, is almost unobtainable; the same Is true of the stuffs and lace used for making dolls shoes, hats, dresses, stockings. etc. These are only obtain able at prices four times higher than before the war. consequently the prices Of toys are higher.

 Concert at Riverside park at 7:45
 Dance at Riverside park at g p. m.
 With three concerts today the band of the 15Sth infantry Arizona's own band, will say good-by after a visit of three days at home and will leave for a tour of the state which will last for two weeks and will carry this famous musical organization into every quar- ter of Arizona.
 Yesterday was the big day of, the bands stay in Phoenix. Two, concerts were given, one at 2: 30 p. m., at River side park and the second in the evening at the same place. From the size of the crowd at the park in the afternoon it would seem that the entire city had turned out to hear this band.
 But the evening crowd at the park was even larger. There was hardly a vacant spot in the park when the hour. for the concert arrived. The program of musical selections played by the band was the most pretentious of their whole stay, in the city,. The concert lasted for nearly, an hour. and a half and the numbers were heartily ap- plauded. Director Etzweiler was most generous and the encores heightened the program to almost twice its orig inal length.
 Final Concerts
 The band will. play concert al the Elks theater this afternoon at 2:15 o'clock as a feature of the film, "The Unbeliever." Following this there vii; be concert at Riverside park begin ing at o'clock.
 The final concert of the visit in Phoenix will begin at Riverside park at 1:4o o'clock this evening" Without doubt there will be large crowd at the park to listen to this concert and to bid good-by to the boys. There is to be a dance at the park beginning at o'clock, with music by members of the band.
 Carl Goetz. a member of the band will again sing his own songs which have taken such a hold in this city: When You Come Back My Soldier Boy" and T Am Going Back to Ari- zona"
 Always proud of the band of the 15Sth infantry because it was organ ized in this city and contains many Phoenix boys in it's membership, the people of Phoenix have become mor> attached to this organization because of the visit just drawing to a close. It has proved that as musical or ganization it is among the very best. Arizona always will be proud of her own band and will watch it's career with great interest.
 To Ray First
 The boys expect soon to leave Camp kearny for some port in the east where 1t will board a transport for France. The present visit has been also a good by one. as undoubtedly it will be a long time before these boys will again be seen on the streets of Phoenix.
 The band will leave Phoenix tomor- row morning for Ray and Hayden | where it will stay Tuesday and We'd | nesday. The tour over the state will last about two weeks. The private Pullman car which brought the band from Camp Kearny to Phoenix will be | occupied by the band during it's tour of the state. Judge Charles De Sales | Wheeler will accompany the band dur ing the tour of the state as the repre- sentative of the Automobile Club of Arizona under whose auspices the band Is making the tour
