DETROIT RECTOR is
WELCOME OMAHA VISITOR

The Rev. FIR Everard w. Daniel,
rector of St. Matthew's church, De-
troit, Mich, was celebrant at the
1880 a. m. eucharist at the Church of
st. Philip the Deacon, Sunday morn
ing, and preacher at the sung euchar-
list at IL o'clock, when Father Will
liams, rector of the parish, was cele-
brant. Father Daniel also addressed
the Church school.
His sermon, which was based upon
the miracle of the feeding of the five
thousand as recorded in the Gospel
according to st. John, was scholarly,
thought-compelling and inspiring and
made a deep impression upon the
large congregation present.
The speaker stressed the inclusive
ness of the Gospel, and therefore by
its nature the incompatibility of any
spirit of nationalism with the Chris
tian religion. The same two classes
who confronted our Lord, narrow ma
tionalists and those under economic
pressure who are chiefly concerned
with material things, are with us to-
day, with their various gradations,
m S understanding, misinterpreting,
and misapplying the religion of Jesus
Christ, which emphasizes brotherhood
and the motivating power of love.
Christianity has given new value to
human life, banished slavery and
raised the status of womanhood. AS
people none owe more to Christi
anity than do our people and none
would suffer more if it's power and
influence wane. The salvation and
the hope of humanity depend wholly
upon the Cross of Christ, which
stands for love, joy, peace and good
will for all Gods children every
where.
Sunday evening, at the request of
FIR. Williams, FIR. Daniel baptized
Henrietta Ellen, infant daughter of
DR.. and Mrs. John A. Singleton,
whose marriage he had solemninzed
in St. Philips church, New York, ten
years ago. Mrs. Singleton, nee Daisy
Goring, having been one of his Sun
day school children. Another inter-
esting feature of this service was the
fact that the godmother, Mrs. Charles
T. Smith, formerly of Broeklyn, N.
Y, was at one time a parishioner of
FIR. Daniels.
Among other interesting features
and surprises of FIR. Daniels visit to
Omaha was his meeting here of Mr..
j. Frank Smith, formerly of Brook
lyn, N. Y, now senior warden of St.
Philips, Omaha, and whom he had
not seen for twenty-one years.
The Detroit rector left for his home
Monday, after an all too brief visit
here, where he made most favor
able and delightful impression upon
all who had the privilege of meeting
him.

With her two-year-old baby clasp

tears, a broken hearted mother last
evening sat on a railroad track and
prayed that the onrushing train
would grind her beneath its wheels.
!. Grieving beyond any hope Of con-

fed the attempts of her friends to
remove her from the track. She was
forcibly pulled from the rails, just
three feet ahead of the engine as
the 1880 p. m. Waterbury train slid
by.
Grieved because the Connecticut
Humane society, which she does not
think is as humane as its name. took
away her three oldest children, Mrs.
Stanley Romaine of "a Star street

her four children.
She figured life was not worth liv-
ing. Rushing out to the railroad
tracks near the City Coal and Wood

for the train to run over her and
end her sufferings.
A policeman found her there and
arrested her. Lieutenant Matthias

sympathetic official released her.

DEL-MAR-VA GAMERS REPORT
PROSPECTS FOR TOMATO PACK
PACKERS ON PENINSULA AND
NEW JERSEY SEE SOME GAIN
Contract Price for Tomatoes This
Year, Generally Speaking, Will Be
About 25c a Five-Eighth Basket

Slightly better prospects for the
1927 tomato pack on the Del-Mar-Va
Peninsula and New Jersey over the
past year, were reported at a meeting
of the executive officers of the Tri-
State Packers Association at the du-
Pont Biltmore Monday. Gamers at
tended from all parts of the Peninsula
and New Jersey. Hervey P. Hall of
the ]. H. Hoffecker Canning Company
of Smyrna, was among those who at
tended. The contract price for five
eighths bushel basket, which in 1926
averaged about % 1-2 cents, will av-
erage about 25 cents this year all over
the Peninsula, barring unlocked for
"busts" in the open market F. NJ.
Shook, field president for the Asso-
citation, declared following the meet
ing that the market is still very dull
on canned tomatoes in spite of the
short pack in 1926" He pointed out
that the pack in Delaware, Maryland
and New Jersey in 1926 fell off from
approximately 9,500,O00 cases in 1929
to approximately 2,700,000 cases in
1926, with prospects for only slight
betterment in 1927. The slump is
due to the over-pack and production
in 1925, and to the continued increase
of large shipments of raw tomatoes to
this section from Florida, Cuba, and
Mexico and increasingly greater i'm
ports of canned tomatoes from Italy.
Maryland is expected to pack over q
100000 cases of tomatoes in 1927;
New Jersey about 100000 to 100000
and Delaware approximately 100000.
Over-production in peas in 1926 and
1925 has reduced the acreage plant
ed in Maryland New Jersey and Della
ware in 1927 to approximately 10,951
acres according to Mr.. Shook, com
pared with 13,361 in 1926 and 15,1O5
in 1925. The tomato pack for the en-
tire country in 1924 and 1925 aver
aged about 18,0OO,OO0 cases a year.
In 1926, due to the large pack and
over-production, the pack fell off to
100000 cases. Prospects for the
1927 indicate pack of between H.
100000 and 12,000,OOO cases. The
slump last year hit the grower even
harder than the packer and as a re-
suit this years crop is being more
measured, with the subse- /
quent rise in the contract price from
% 1-2 cents to about 25 cents.
