THE LOCK OF HAIR CA Bachelor Ballad)
 By Mason R. snyder

Here's little lock of hair Found it in the drawer there Underneath a bunch of duds When I hunted for my studs. Was it Helen's? Was it Bessie's? Was it EIlin's? Was it Jesse's? Was it Daisy's? Was it Mary's? Was it Maisie's? Was fl Gerry's? Gosh. it's queer how I forget Which were blonde, and which bru-
 nette
 Maybe it was lovely Betty's; Maybe it was Kate's-or Ncttys; Maybe it was James or Tilly's; Maybe ii was Lou's or Milly's-- Or some other pretty dame's-- Cant remember half their names. Wait-therc's something fastened to
 it;
 It's a note. Here. I'll undo it. WHAT. My saintcd mothers script: Saved when Mason's curls were
 clipped. He will find it when he's grown" Goshallhemloclls. It's MY OWN.!!

TOMATO SITUATION A PROBLEM
Crop Now Generally Speaking, on a
Competitive Basis, Must Be Better


Competitive Basis, Must Be Better
The normal consumption of toma-
toes in the United States is sixteen
million cases Of No. three cans. In
the year 1925 nineteen million cases
were packed leaving surplus. In
1926, only nine million cases were
packed, due to frost and wet weather,
although four million cases were inn
ported from Italy. The small pack of
last year cleared up the surplus of the
year before and the whole industry at
the present time is puzzled as to just
what is going to happen. In past
years Maryland, Delaware and New
Jersey have practically controlled the
industry Maryland growing about fif
ty per cent of the crop, but recently
Indiana, and California and other
states have taken up the growing of
tomatoes and at the present time it
looks as if the country is organized
to pack a surplus. This means that
the growing of tomatoes in Maryland
has changed from a monopoly to
competitive crop, and as competitive
crop growers must exert every effort
to grow better tomatoes. This can be
done due to the climate, soil location
and the experience of the growers;
however the growers must plant and
grow tomatoes with the determination
to beat competition as the half heart
ed grower who plants with the idea of
trusting to luck is going to lose out.
In past years the foundation of the
canning industry has been based on
the sale of futures but at the present
time no futures have been sold due to
the unsettled situation. Some con-
tracts for 25 cents have been made
but in number of instances practi-
cally no contracts have been made. :
