makes red, firm BERRIE<
of excellent carrying quaIit.

FOR TOMATOES use $3.50 fertilizer if
want vigorous, healthy plants that proc
the smooth, high-quality tomatoes that
priced on all markets. 1910 is also the
mixture for sweet potatoes, producing hi
yields of smooth, chunky No. rs.
FOR CORN use 2-8-1O. 1t makes bigger
yields of better quality, higher-feed-value
field corn with ears filled out to the tip.
This fertilizer makes sweet corn Sweeter.
1t helps control root rot, reduces frost
injury and makes p1umper grains,
aiding in the formation of starch and
sugar.
FOR SOYBEANS and cowpeas also
use 2-8-10. 1t produces more hay and
better seed.
FOR PEAS and beans use 4-8-7. This
produces sweet, tender peas and we'll
filed, crisp beans with plenty of 'snap'.
Check over the list of fertilizers at right
and plan now to use these for the crops
you grow. They are developed especially
for Delmarva conditions. They are based
on years of experiment and the experience
of leading farmers. Your fertilizer man
recommends them.

LEADING fertilizer men recommend SSH
for berry crops. They know that potash is the
quality producing element in fertilizer-that
a mixture well-balanced with plenty of potash
produces bigger yields of better quality berries.
5-S-12 contains the proper amount of potash,
correctly balanced with the other fertilizer
elements. 5-8-12 produces red, firm berries of
excellent flavor and better size with less culls.
Berries, fortified with ample quantities of
5-8-12, ship well and stand up on the market
fresh, bright and firm to attract the consumer.
5-8-12 has proven its value on the Peninsula.
Tell your fertilizer man you want 5-S-12 for
berries. 1t pays!
This year well-balanced fertilizer, contain
ing plenty of NV POTASH, costs you very little
more than the ordinary 1ow-9rade mixture.
Figured in terms of an acre the extra cost is so
low it will surprise you. Ask your fertilizer
man! He will tell you he is encouraging the
use of better fertilizers such as 5-8-12, 1910,
2-S-1O and 4-8.7.
5-8-12 is not only an excellent mixture for
berries. Itisalso the best vinecrops,
keeping them green and thrifty over long
period. 1t produces cucumbers, cantaloupes,
and watermelons with firm meat of fine flavor.

Marionctfes to Show

! Strangest of all theatrical arriv- als ever known in Naugatuck will arrivc here on Saturday, Feb 18th. at 10:15 6. m. at the Gem Opera House. A group of famous actors and actresses are to be brought to town tied up in bags, their limbs bound solidly. their faces protected by the softest materials from any danger of scratches. Well might such precautions be taken, for these are players who have ap. peared with great success with the New York Thcater Guild for four seasons, before the most critical of college and university audiences, as well as before thousands of skcptical children.
 Sue Hastings MarIonettes, those versatile little wooden actors. will appear here at the Gem Opera House in "The Discontented Don key" They will present an art which iB thousands of years old, yet which is being brought at the present day to its highest artistic form by Sue Hastings. director of the company. Mrs Hastings and Ter companies have gone about tho entire country, giving performances nnd 1t is always interesting to note that the audience which those small actors face are as often com posed of adults as of children.
 Their performance Is bo g sponsored by tho Naugatuck Wom- ems club. 1t will be tho third in n series of unusual presentations giv- en by the club.
 The story of Sue Hastings and her marionettes is q most interest," irg one and the copy-book maxim that success comes of hard work is surely exemplified in hcr case. Since 1922 when she gave her first show to c small but even then en- thusiastic audience to tho present day of multiple companies. she has given all of her time and of her. self to her mnrionetteg. Until re- cent ycnrs marionettes have bee1 looked upon as q novelty but they have become astonishingly popular ip this country and now have a deHnlte place in the entertainment field. Undoubtedly Sue HastinHs, through the medium of her high typs of work, has been largely TO- sponsibie for this popuIarizing of tho ancient art.

NAUCATUCK
wm. ,. Easter. COrrcspondcni-Phone NaueaGuci

Naugatuck, Feb s-Tho work division of the EZRA ia not likely to stop soon in the opinion Of Chris Groh, EZRA official, but there may be some changes in the C. F. division, that is the commer- cial and professional, better known as white collars" workers. The separate fund under which theBe employees have been paid Is expect ed to be exhausted by March 1.
 Although nothing definite has been learned yet, Mir Groh expects some of them may be retained but the fund providing for their pay will not be separate from the work division fund after then. Pay for manual labor workers and for the white collar workers will have to come out of the same source, 1t is believed.
 This may mean that less employ es will be used in the white collar division and also that requirements for those who work there as con cerns relief may be stricter. Dur ing the winter the FERA has helped many persons out of 6 job here by giving them white collar work. They have been compiling general indexes of vital statistics in the town clerks office, of tho borough engineers records, of the borough assessors records and of borough board meetingS
 This work has almost been com pleted. Just what will be started ofter that has not yet been re- vealed, if anything is to be started. Mir Groh ,xpects that there will be q more complete record of each worker under the now setup.
 It is possible that If there is n skilled worker on the local relief list who is not occupied on ar FERA job here, another FERs bureau in another town in the state or possibly outside the state may ask for him because of lack of men skilled in the certain type of work. He would be shifted there,

Clowns. pickaninnics, lions dragons, minatrels, king and princesgeg packed in their Yilt cases waiting to be awakened from their dreamles9 gloep and to live their little lives on the stage of the tiny theater. And how ardently they do live! They perform the most intricate dance steps, ride bl- cycles and even indulge in hyster. les just like their foolish proto- types fin real life.
 The Sue Hastings Marionettos have appeared in practically every section of this country and in Cam ada. They have also made special trips to Havana, South America and tho West Indies and each year make an annual trip to the Virgin Islands, whgo they play under the auspices of the government. This spring they gave special perform ance at the White House. Their programs have been popular not only in schools, clubs and at a wide variety of civic and social occn. |. slons. but have been especially in vogue at colleges.

 Dinneny q Candidate
 Burgess Joseph D. Dlnneny. first ward burgess, will be q candidate for renomlnatlon in the democratic primaries this year. he announced today. The statement Is significant as It Immediately followed m an- nouncement yesterday by George McNamara, former progressive party leader, that he will be can dldate for the position of burgess on the democratic ticket.
 This indicates a certain fight in the first ward. "I have done my mest to serve the interests of the first ward well during my first year as burgess" MT Dinneny said to- day, "ard I do not think they are disappointed in me. You can say for mo that certainly will be n candidate for rcnomination and l Intend, to win"
 MT Dlnncny was chosen by il two-vote margin last year over for mer Burgess Milton Calvin, who Is now re chief. in the democratic primaries. He has obtained the re- spect of many by the dignlfied and efficient way he has served on the borough board.
 MT McNamara has already start cd q campaign to line up friends for him in the caucus. He is active now at this work.
 MT McNamara was formerly leader of the progressive party. However, because the party did not endorse Tax Collector Jim Fitz- gerald, democrat, for reelection last splrng. he left the party and campaigned for Warden Sheridan, democratic nominee, having joined the democratic ranks.
 He proved a fiery tnlker. Ho ie also out to win and an interesting primary fight is likely.
 Reports have 1t Victor Burkus, present third ward democratic bur gess, will seek renomination. And there Is another report that How. nrd Brennan may oppose him for the office in the third ward.
 Burgess Leo Brophy is expected to Do a candidate for renominatlon tn the second ward. He is q strong candidate and is quito popular.
