TOWN 80
HELpSk-
CONSIDER NEEDS OF TOWN
Every Citizen Should Once In a While
Ask Himself II Community Is
"Working Right"

II your typewriter stalls, or your
sewing machine slips its band, or your
gas meter runs the bill up to four
times that Of last month, or your au.
tomobile gallops where you would like
it to glide, you have but to 90 around
the corner to get an expert, who tink.
ers a bit, shrivels the contents of your
pocketboOk and sends you away, per-
haps sadder, but hitting on all your
cylinders.
But whoever you are and wherever
you live you have one piece Of ma
chinery that plays an important part
in your existence, stupendously i'm
portant piece Of machinery, and may.
be you have never thought of whether
it Is operating properly or not. And
II 1t isn't you have had no idea of
where to get repairman. You have
a town or city. Maybe you live
right in the middle Of it, or maybe
you live out in the country and just
come in once in while. But you use
that town or city as q place to do
your shopping, or to obtain your
amusement, or an education, or to OBJ
tain a livelihood.
Well, is your town working right,
or Is it humping along with fiat
wheel? Is 1t giving you the maximum
Of service, or does 1t fail you In half
the ways 1t might serve you?
When it has finally been determined
which is the primary need Of given
community, then the meeting Of that
need should become the first project
Of its chamber Of commerce. A cham
Der of commerce is fundamentally a
project organization, and its primary
business is to determine the needs Of
the community and upon those needs
build projects, which 1t proceeds to
work out for the benefit of the COM
munity.-Washingt Herald.

ton, because of mixtures found In the
seed in 1920, is better for canning than
for the table, because of its somewhat
fiat shape, which does not permit slic-
ing as successfully as some of the
rounded tomatoes. The Norton and
the newer variety, the Norduke. are
late tomatoes, excellent for canning,
for home gardening, and late truck
ing. The Norduke shows the highest
resistance to wilt of any tomato, and
also some resistance to the leaf-spot
disease.
Wilt-resistance strains of tomatoes
are developed by selecting from va
riety which possesses moderate resist
ance, individuals which show higher
resistance. This resistance can be COM
bined with other desirable qualities in
other varieties by crossing. Seeds from
resistant strains have been distributed
through state experiment stations to
Gamers and others for testing, and
some of the varieties are now being
carried in the catalogue lists of seed
houses.

PAYS TO PAINT AND VARNISH
Apart From Improved Appearance,
tho Economy of Such Proceeding
Should Be Apparent.

When the floor coverings and win
dow hangings are removed in the
spring there Is no better medium of
cleanliness than fresh coat Of paint,
varnish or enamel-they stand in front
ranks as the best sanitary agents
known.
AS a medium for saving the surface
and conserving property-painting and
vanishing has been demonstrated as
an investment Of the first order and
it's economy is recognized by all
thoughtful citizens. Every dollar in
vested in paint and varnish saves sew
eral dollars in depreciation. Paint and
varnish prevents the expense of re-
pairs which arise from lack of proper
surface protection. If all property
owners fully realized the loss which
takes place when painting and var
nishing is postponed, they would be
inclined to paint and varnish more
regularly.

The department also has cooperative
arrangements with the various rail-
roads whereby the shippers are in
formed Of daily carlot shipments of
onions everywhere in the United
States.
For marketing purposes the Texas
onion-producing section is divided intb
three districts: The Laredo district
consisting of Webb county, the upper
Sale, and Zavalla counties; and the
Gulf Coast district, embracing the ter
ritory contiguous to the st. Louis
Brownsville & Mexico and the San An
tonic & Arkansas Pass railroads. The
upper counties usually furnish fully 80
per cent of the shipments, the remain
ing districts 25 per cent each.
Shipments are made to every state
in the Union east of the Rocky noun
talns, the principal markets being New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Missouri,
Ohio, and Massachusetts. New York
alone has taken in the past as much
ms 20 per cent of the entire carlot
center for approximately one-third of
the onions from the entire section, and
headquarters of practically all buyers
and operators are there located.
Seed From Canary Islands.
The majority of the growers obtain
their seed from the Canary Islands
large quantities of seed are also OBJ
tanned from California. The seed is
planted by drill between August IL
and September 20, and the plants re-
main In the seed bed 60 to 70 days
before transplantlng to the field. Great
care is exercised In transplanting. The
ground is plowed, thoroughly disked
and narrowed, the roots and tops of
the plants are carefully trimmed, and
only well-rooted plants are selected
In caring for the crop 1t Is essential to
keep the soil moist, and to avoid, by
frequent shallow CIVILIZATIONS, crack
ing or baking. Harvesting begins
around April 1 In Webb county and
continues to about May 49, The har.
vest season in the upper counties is
five to ten days later. Practically the
entire crop is grown under irrigation
from the Rio Grande river In Webb
county; from artesian wells and the
Neueces river In the upper counties.

Cook, Peary, North Pole and "Justice'

DR.. Frederick A. Cook has an
nounced that he will seek official and
public recognition as the real discov-
erer Of the North Pole. The recent
finding of his missing field notes and
Instruments in the Arctics seems to
strengthen his claim, and he expects
before long that the matter will be
brought to the attention of congress,
which he hopes will formally credit
him with the discovery by voting him
a medal.
Newspapers recently carried the
story of the finding of Cooks field
notes In a buried igloo, and the rec
ords therein, bearing his signature,
showed where Cook had been. 1t
was because he was unable to pro-
duce these records in 1909 that the
world refused to believe his story.
Cook said he had left these records
and instruments with Harry Whitney
at Etah, Greenland.
DR.. Cook claims to have reached

of Agriculture.)
In the course of work ON the selec-
ton of tomatoes that will resist the
wilt disease, which causes large an
nual loss In the t0mato-canning states.
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has developed variety called
Norduke, similar to Stone, but highly
resistant to wilt. Four other wilt.
resistant varieties have already been
produced, known as the Marvel, which
is medium early tomato selected
from Merveille des Marches, bearing q
heavy crop of smooth red fruit; the
Norton, selected from Stone, producing
d heavy yield Of large, smooth. solid
red fruit, which ripens slowly, and
therefore ships well; and Columbia
and Arlington, medium late varieties,
selected from Greater Baltimore.
The Marvel is an excellent variety

and for home gardening. The Colum'

He Makes Something Else Just as Good'

This Is a portrait Of Theodore
Van Gina, the "Man with million
dollar secret" He's a Chicago artist
and he Is said to be the one man in
the world who can paint an "Old
Master" overnight-that is copy ali
old master and age 1t 500 years in a
day. 1t Is claimed that he possesses
the power to trick the world; that
he knows all schools of painting, all
tones, all methods Of treatment, and
that his cunning brush can duplicate
brush mark for brush mark.
According to the story told by
Mr.. Van Gina. he was engaged to do
some work for Dutch nobleman when
only twenty-five years old, and he
found that his patron was using his
social connections to borrow master
pieces. and after he (Van Cina) had
copied them he would return the copy
and retain the original. His copies
are so perfect they cannot be dis.
