Tomatoes Plentiful

The tomato situation here is about
the same as in the other localities
further down the state, none of the
growers have contracted and the. can
ners steadily refusing to tie themselves
down to contract The crop is heavier
than ever before, but very few are be-
ing picked. Prices as low ss 20 cents
per basket have been offere here and
many of the tenant farmers are letting
them lay on the ground and will plow
them under when the crop is we'll ripen-
ed. It is claimed that they contain
much valuable plant food.

SUNDAY SCHOOL OPENS SEPTEMBER 9TH
The Sunday School will reopen on
Sunday after several months of vaca-
tion. We trust that one good result of
good vacation will be good attend
ance. We. have a capable body of
teachers, all deeply interested in their
work; and we hope that the parents
will realize that we have the welfare
of the children at heart, and that ir-
regularity and tardiness in attendance
and carelessness in the preparation of
the assigned lessons are just as disas-
trous to good results here as they would
he in day school. The parents are the
only people who can thoroughly rectify
these defects and we feel that if only
they realize this, they will understand
how much we need their hearty and
earnest cooperation.
The door of St. Anne's Church is
open all day, continual witness of
Gods love and His presence. Cultivate
the habit of stopping in to rest and
pray and talk with God.
The rector of St. Anne's is ready at
all times to respond to any call for
spiritual help from any zone who needs
his services, whether a member of the
parish or not,
To date, the Parish has paid the fol-
lowing amounts to Diocesan Missions,
$4,000; to General Missions, (Nation-
Wide Campaign) $4,000; to Church
Pension Fund, s98.O6; Day Nursery and
Hospital, $26. 86.
Quite a few of those who pledged
through the Nation Wide Campaign,
have not paid their pledges for Missions
and we would like to hear from them in
order to send in to headquarters the
amounts due. The high cost of living
is presenting some real financial prob
lens. The high cost of living is no re-
spector of persons. The cost of service
and materials to sustain the church has
increased just as this cost has advanced
in homes and in business. The Vestry
has practised economics whenever it
seemed feasible, but the increase in ex-
penses cannot be prevented and must
be met by an increase in revenues or at
least in having all those who have
pledged to the support of the church,
pay their pledges.

HIS MAscoTs

His grandmother's tooth was always considered by Mayor Joseph J. Fern of Honolulu as a certain mascot. second only to the polished piece of his great uncle's shinbone, which he wore on his watch chain as a charm. As for the tooth, he wore it in his mouth, for when dentist once proposed to insert an artificial tooth in place of front one he had lost Joe Fern asserted he would stick to the family and secured tooth from the skull of his grandmother, where she had been buried in cave in the ancient Hawaiian way.
 "Joe," as every one in Hawaii called him to his face was the first Mayor of Honolulu after that city became the chartered capital of the American Ter ritory of Hawaii. He did not want to be a Democrat at first, but John Lane got ahead of him for the Republican nomination as Mayor and there was nothing for Joe to do but run as a Dem ocrat Since that time, until he lost his piece of shinbone last winter and got the influenza and died, Joe Fern was the continuous mayor of Honolulu, ex- cept for one short term, when John Lane nosed him out. Joe depended on his grandmother tooth and his great uncle's shinbone relic as mascots and only once did they fail him. John Lane could have all the Kahuna stones in the islands. but was able to get elected only once.

 Education has not turned the Navajo kirls away from their former indus tru. he says. and declares that the only ceason for the scarcity of rugs dur inK the past few years was the high price of wool
 With the high price of wool, it did rot pay the Indian to put the effort in weaving blankets But since the price has dropped. the Navajo has re- suuled hcr work at the loom. While they arc not yet making as many blankets as they did before the war. they are coming into the trading poets in large quantities.

ONE PRINCIPLE FUR
 USING APPLIANCES

The fundamental principle for the use of electric appliances is this: When you are not continuously using any ap- pliance, turn off the current. To do this, disconnect the flat iron, curling iron or other appliance by pulling out the plug. Do not be content with turning off the current at the lamp socket.
 Today no household is complete without the electric iron, and there should be no question as to it's proper and economical use 1t is absolutely necessary that the current be com pletely cut off when the iron is not in constant use.
 A great many electrical appliances such as samovers, chafing dishes, per colators and water heaters are how { equipped with fuse nuts which mel and automatically shut off current thus preventing damage and the nec- essity for repairs. Even so, don't for get to disconnect the. plug.

How do you test your oven for baking bread?"
 This was the question put to five housekeepers. They replied as follows:
 Mrs. A: By the feeling of the heat on my face"
 Mrs. B: By holding my hand in while I count 15.''
 Mrs. c: By a piece of manila paper when it becomes the proper shade of brown"
 Mrs D: "The oven should be hot enough to brown a teaspoonful of flour in one minute for rolls and in five minutes for bread"
 There you have four women who have each a different way of testing their ovens. And all their methods are makshifts. There is nothing sci entific about them. nothing accurate nothing certain or dependable.
 If these women also had been asked How do you know when to take the bread out of the oven2" they undoubt- edly would have replied that they were in the habit of opening the oven door every now and then to look al the baking What could be a greater detriment to good baking than that?
