GAMERS SEE
SHORT II PACK
Asa Bennett Tells Conven-
tion of Scarcity of To-
matoes in Maryland
CROP is ONLY 20
PER CT. OF NORMAL

CHICAGO. July 1s-The thrifty
housewife had better take a tip
from the National anners' Assooia-
ton. which met yesterday, and buy
up any bargain lots Of food that
comes in tins that she happens to
discover. For canned goods are
going 10 be higher-much higher
when the new pack comes IN.
The situation, the Gamers eS-
planned. is all due 70 q combination
of old Mother Nature, financial de-
preston and reduced acreage The
green pack viii run about half
Of what IL was last year, while the
reduction Of the acreage in sugar
corn will bring a new pack that will
be a little over a third Of the 1920
output.
The tomatoes ara even worse of, "
said Asa Bennett, Of Frankfort Del.
Most Of the tomatoes in the market
come from Maryland, Delaware and
New Jersey. The farmers reduced
their acreage 10 a certain extent
because of the low 1920 prices, but
the thing which did the real damage
was a severe drought II began after
the young plants we're set out and
continued until about two weeks
ago The tomato pack Is going 10
run about 20 per cent Of normal.
One cause Of the reduced acre
age. Mr. Bennett said, was the in
ability OF the Gamers 70 finance
large crops.
The canning companies were hii
hard in 1870" he continued. Prices
were high because Of a combination
OF high labor costs and high ma.
terials. The Government released
its huge stock Of canned goods al
cost. Money conditions tghteneC
and il was a case Of throwing can
ned goods on n'the market for almos
any price they would bring in orde
to meet mortgages and notes.
"The result was that In 1921, onl,
the largest companies can buy bii
crops from the farmers Add q
that the unfavorable weather con
! dltions, and you have the reason 70
the shortge."

THOUGHTFUL CHILD

Even the very little child should
be taught by his mother 70 be care
full of his clothing. careful in putting
II away at night and in saving II
from tears and unnecessary soiling.
Little folk should be taught to
hang up their own clothing when it
is removed at night and to hang up
the towels and wash cloths after us
ing them.
They should also be taught 10 use
a tooth brush and comb when very
young This saves a great deal OF
EFFORT and trouble In later years

Changed, Local Jewellers Say.

the value of a. good stone and if she is
in the dark it isn't for long as not a
day passes that a jeweler isn't be-
sieged by some girl who tries to look
unconscious of the fact that her ring
is new (she probably received it the
night before) and wants to know if
the stone is good. how many carats it
is, how much did it cost and did he
buy it here? All of which the clerk
answers with a smile and the state
ment that he is not allowed to place a
valuation on rings.
that doesn't appeal to the girl and she
promptly drops down town the next
morning and changes it for one she
does like.
Men Won't Wear 'Em.
It's curious fact that most men do
not object to the wearing of some
sort of a ring but they balk and flatly
refuse to put on a wedding ring.
Handsome carved rings, in white gold
made for men. are having a run at
present at one of the stores. But the
fad of wearing a wedding ring has
just begun for this particular style of
ring.
Very often, so say the jewelers., the
couple disagree over the price, the
man torn between the desire of pleas
ing the girl and buying the ring she
wants and shutting his own pocket
book SO there will be something left
overland the girl standing pat for
the ring she wants. And" comments
the seller of rings, "she wants what
she. wants, when she wants it, and
the man usually finishes by giving her
what she wishes"
Most girl nowadays do not feel that
they are engaged unless they are
wearing an expensive ring and to the
sorrow of a few chaps the girl breaks
the EaanS the nd
the poor fellow is paying for it on the
installment plan, his payments, like a
movie serial, go on forever.
Buying for Mother.
Every once in a while the jeweler
sells a lovely stone to an elderly man
who tells the clerk in a half aside
that he never has bought Mother a
ring, and he promised her he'd do it
sure this year if the crops were good
or business picked up. Those are the
rings the clerks love to sell, and the
buyer is usually particular about the
cut and brilliancy of the stone that
mother is to wear and which she will
slip on over the wrinkles and the en-
larged knuckles gained thru years of
hard work.
Very often a husband will bring a
diamond set in q high mounting and
change it to a basket setting, and
finally he will have the gold covered
with a strip of platinum or white gold
and tiny sprays of orange blossoms on
it that ma" may wear the latest in
engagement rings.
The wedding circlet is the founda-
ton of all business. It is the symbol
of love. marriage, the home, and from
it is born the business, industrial and
activities of the entire world With
out it there would be nothing, and
with it sometimes there is nothing for
marriage is an uncertain thing, es-
pecially in this day of off with the old
ring, on with the new.
