My dear Editor:
have just talked with the De-
partment of Agriculture relative to
a fair price for tomatoes. They
state that $500 per ton, in their
opinion. is a very low price and that
they think $1,000 to $500 would
be a fair price the coming year
Also state that they weigh from 80
to 5 pounds a bushel. according to
railroad estimates.
Now il there is any other inform
alton you wish or any bulletins you
want from the Department of Agri-
culture let me know and | will take
pleasure in sending it to you.
With best wishes, I remain

FOR TORPID LIVER
Tennessee Lumberman Talks of His
Successful Use Of Black Draught
for Colds and Headaches.

jamestown, Tenn.-'I have used
Thedford's Black-Draught for years, in
fact it is the only liver medicine that
does me any good" says Mr.. L. A.
Raglan, well-known lumberman of
this place. when l was single, / used
it for headaches, and especially If
get cold and feel feverish, take a
good dose of Black-Draught, and it
sets me right.
Since l have been married, have
used it in my family, and never have
found its equal for torpid liver or dis
arranged stomach, especially with
children. I can recommend Black
Draught, and gladly do So"
Every member of the family occa-
sionalfy needs the assistance that
Black-Draught can give, in helping to
cleanse the system and relieve or pre-
vent the troubles that come from q
lazy, torpid liver.
II your liver is not doing its duty,
you may suffer with headache, consti-
patton, biliousness, indigestion, etc.
Unless relief is obtained serious sick
ness may result. In Its long and sue
cessful use, Thedford's Black-Draught
has been found in thousands of cases
to relieve such disorders, by stimulat-
ing the liver to do its important work.
Ask for Thedford's Black-Draught,
and insist on the genuine. NC-1ST

MRS. ROOSEVELT
PARTY CONVERT
T. RS Niece Was Born
Republican, But She's
Not Now
BY ZOE BECKLEY.

CAMPOBELLO ISLAND, N. B.,
Aug. 23-Anna Eleanor Roosevelt,
wife Of Franklin D. Roosevelt, is the
only one of the four main "nomi-
nettes" who has a vote, unless rati-
fication goes through.
Mrs. Roosevelt is a practiced voter
and will cast her ballot for friend
husband, not because he is friend
husband, but because the platform
of the Democratic party appeals to
her as sound.
Mrs. Roosevelt does not take her
political faith readymade. For, al
though modest, retiring and unas-
Stunning to a degree-backing as
quickly and as far from the lime
light as possible on all occasions-she
is a woman of vivid intelligence and
keen thought. She has always been
a doer.
In appearance she is a Roosevelt
OF the Oyster Bay branch of the fam
lily, including the dental Roosevelt
ian smile. In type she is quieter, less
a ssertive, but decidedly a Roosevelt.
Which means she makes up her own
mind and follows its dictates.
sShall | vote the Democratic tick
et?" this democratic lady echoed. i
certainly shall! | am an enrolled
Democrat and have been since cast
my first ballot under the New York
state law three years ago.
Voting a Duty.
II have always been for woman
suffrage and regard it as much duty
e fn DC
Neither my home nor my five child
rem will suffer because | take an IN
terest in my country's affairs. In
fact, they will be better off If my bal
lot helps elect the right men to man
age these affairs"
Mrs. Roosevelt doesn't deny that
her husbands personality, character
and powers of persuasion have play
ed their due part in her decision.
Probably few women who knew the
Democratic candidate for vice presi-
dent as we'll and as long as she has
could resist some measure of parti-
sanship.
In fact, l believe the Republicans
should issue storm-signals to their
feminine constituents in all towns
where Mr.. Roosevelt is to speak. Or
make them wear binders. Or some
thing to avert a suffraget landslide
in his direction.
The candidates wife, however, be-
lieves women, and men, too, will vote
for him for the reasons she will,
namely:
"In the belief that the Democratic
platform and the Democratic candi-
dates stand for progress, for going
ahead. They" continues Mrs. Roose-
welt, Golfer a definite, concrete pro-
gram, not merely vague promises.
1.-The present leaders of the Re-
publican party stand for inaction. So

thoroughly acquainted! His father
was a Democrat, mine Republican.
But / have been a Democrat since
the early days of our marriage"
You may recall that Franklin De-
lano Roosevelt's marriage to his
fourth cousin, Anna Eleanor, occur
red in 1905 when he was still a stu
dent at Columbia Law School
During wartime Mrs. Roosevelt
worked necessarily. She ran the
Navy Section of the Red Cross and IS
still one of the managers of the Navy
Relief society, which looks after the
wives and children of men who died
in service.
She is first vice president of the
American Woman's Legion, the femi-
nine adjunct to the American Legion,
and a director of the Laura Franklin
Children's Hospital in New York.
Summer Life.
Campobello Island, New Bruins
wick, affords the sort of summer life
Mrs. Roosevelt likes best to share
with her five children and her hus-
bands mother, Mrs. James Roose-
welt.
They wear simple clothes, eat plain
foods, keep early hours, sail boats,
play tennis, climb the cliffs, swim
in the lake bay of Fundy's too cold) 4,

visiting with neighbors before crack

home.

of suspicion has already been pointed
at the legislator who says he may IN
troduce bill at the next session,
and the dark charge :; being made
that he either has a cousin in the
barber business, or is a stakeholder
in some soap manufacturing concern.
While the idea of taxing hlrsute
adornment is new in Georgia, 1t IS
not new in the world. In the old
days of Russia, Peter the Great I'M
posed a heavy tax on long boards,
and the orthodox believers Of that
period who wore boards as religious
emblem had to pay large sums for
the sake of their boards and their
religion. Compulsory shaving and a
term in prison awaited those who re-
fused to pay the tax.
In English law, both Queen Eliza
beth and King Edward VI imposed
tax on boards, whereby they gained
it is said, more gratitude from the
BARRIERS than revenue from the I'M
shaved.

Born into prosperity, in New York,

she could do something to help these

arms to her. She was mildly respon-

with her work and the open-air life
of her aunt's home at Tivoli-on-the-

brought her up, her parents having
died when she was child.
