and briefly in the drama of life,
1t cannot be carried through the

Joe Moore, newspaper and maga-
zine publisher. who passed on
month or SO ago, had what many
regarded as the towns most con-
tagious laugh. He was OF enormous
build, and when his round moon
face rippled into setting for
roaring guffaw no one in the neigh
borhood could keep a straight face.
He had a roar that shock the raft
ers and often touched off solemn
dining room in a whoop. Moore
died exactly as he wished. He often
said he would like to go out just
like falling to sleep after enjoying a
full meal. He had dined sumptu-
ously at one of his favorite res
taurants and was descending to the
street when he Slumped on the
stairs, expiring before doctor in
the place could reach him.
Booth Harrington is one OF the
few top flight writers able to check
writing for several years, return to
it and turn out stuff as good as
ever. His failing eyesight, now al
most normal, has on three occasions
kept him from writing for long
periods. During these convalescen-
ces he never wrote a line, but in
each case when he started again
editors declared he was just as
capable in plotting, character de-
lineation and dialogue as ever. He
is brushing the 7O's.

Theodore Roosevelt was said to
be swiftest of readers among lay
men. He could scan an entire page
almost at a glance, although his
eyes were weak and he had to wear
heavy -lensed glasses. Chief Justice

typewriter page as others read
five OF six lines. Most magazine

at which We stopped.
A tavern that boaSted the very

was indeed a bit too much bluster
in the presence of SO much of yes
terday-a presence really calling for
bowed heads.
Too, I wandered among the old
red and scabrous gravestones OF a
little white church. etched against
a perfect sky. And noting the stones
recorded the passing of innrmerable
octogenerianS and there was the
wonder if. after all, the doctors
are lengthening life today.
Too, 1 talked to sturdy young
man on the roadside who said he
was from Pleasantville and was on
his way to Sneeden's Landing. There
was something poetic about those
names. Names that hurrying civ
ilization should not allow to die.
Like Dobbs Ferry, they suggest a
simple life we may never know
again.

BUSINESS PROFITS
SET AT 7 BILLIONS
1896 Seen Best Year Since
1929 Peak for American
Industry.
Nv the Associated Press,

4y the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 4.-American
industry made long stride in 1896
toward prosperity of humping pro-
portions, analysts agreed today as they
studied data indicating net profits ex-
ceeded $1,000 900. 900 to rank it as the
best year since the 1929 peak.
The tentative estimate, which would
indicate a 80 per cent advance from
1885, although 40 per cent under the
$lI,654, 100000 earned in 1929. was
based on statements from 1000 corpo-
rations and experience with reports Of
previous years.
Reports already available indicate q
50 per cent hike in net profits over
1885, but statisticians, in placing total
net profits at $1,000, 900, 900 or possibly
more, pointed out that wider gains
usually are shown in the earlier reports
In a period of recovery.
The 1880 net was $6,429, 100000
Pay Boosts Seen Result.
Some analysts saw in the vastly i'm
proved condition of American industry
q partial explanation for the readiness
with which hugs corporations in the
motor, steel and other industries have
lacked up wages in response to labor
demands for q larger share in the
fruits Of recovery.
Many large companies have still to
report and the complete tabulation of
earnings of SOC, ,000-odd concerns which
file income tax returns will not be
available for two years.
The push toward former peaks has
been led by heavy industry recently.
Many important groups employing
millions of workers are estimated to
have had the best year since 1929.
These included automobile and auto
parts manufacturers, machinery max
ers, chemicals, oils, non-ferrouS metals
and others.
Chemicals Show Gains.
Although no large industry bettered
its previous income peak, several ap-
pear to have hung up the second or
third best record in history Chemi-
Gals. for instance, topped both 1927
and 1925 So did machine firms Auto
mobile accessory units beat their 1927
income.
The biggest gamers during 1896
were steel and paper companies, which
almost trebled income of the year be-
fore, according to the recent survey
of the National City Bank.
Department stores picked up 1856 per
cent, followed closely by building ma
terial, up 154 per cent, and heating
and plumbing, up 140. Other big
gamers included rubbers, agricultural
implements, machinery and sugars.
The only profit decline noted in the
banks compilation was for woolen
companies This was due principally
to the unusually heavy demand in
1885.

Start Out on Theory of early
Plants For Better To-
mato Crops"
ADVICE OF r. E. WILSON

Farmers in Kent county and
throughout this section of the
United States regard tomatoes as
one of the best cash crops, but the
difference between profit and loss
is determined largely by such fac
tors as weather conditions and
methods of fertilization in addition
to the time of setting plants in the
field. There was time when the
canning of tomatoes on large
commercial scale was confined
chiefly to the states along the At
lantic Seaboard, but today this in
dustry has spread to many other
sections of the country following
the system of crop diversification.
In order to meet this increasing
in the growing and
canning of tomatoes, therefore,
growers and Gamers have had to
make use of every available meth
cd by which the crop might be inn
proved. The dates of setting plants

cents. Every indication points to
a record-breaking. crop, growers
say. Berries in upper Kent will
not be on until the latter part OF
next week. The coming of the crop
means increased labor, not only in
the harvesting, but also in the fruit
package industry, which supplies
millions Of crates and baskets. 1t
also means an influx of berry pick
ers who come every year, many re-
all summer to help in
other crops. Hundreds OF trucks
are now going north daily heavily
loaded with the berries,
