Now in this season our grocery
stores have new cabbage produced
in Texas and the gulf states -
celery from California and Flor
ida - new carrots from Texas and
Arizona. Florida is supplying to-
matoes, snap beans, and straw
berries. And young beets as well
as fresh spinach in February gro
Gerry bins, come from Texas.
At this time of year, Arizona
and California supply the market
with lettuce. Imperial Valley in
California, a big producing area,
is now at the peak of its season.
There the weather has been ia
vorable and the crisp green and
white lettuce heads are excpetion-
ally large.
Citrus fruits have profited by un-
usually favorable weather this sea-
son. Oranges and grapefruit are
abundant on the market. Supplies
of oranges are larger than they
have been for many years. Grape
fruit is only slightly less plentiful
than last season when the crop
was the largest on record.
That's a birds eye view of the
weather situation for fresh fruits
and vegetables now. But it's not
the whole weather story. For last
years weather played big part
in producing several bumper and
near bumper crops. And a number
of these crops in storage are now
coming out to market as the de-
mand justifies.
Weather was especially kind to
the apple crop of 1887. The biggest
increase in production took place
in central and eastern states where
the weather was most favorable
Consequently, apple prices for
this season have been low. And
last month they reached the low
est point they have been since
late October. Shoppers may look
forward to large apple supplies
for some time to come, for at the
beginning of this year the supply
of apples in cold storage was the
largest for which we have any
record.
Most of the pears in storage
now are the winter varieties such
as the Nelis and the Anjou. These
winter pears have become more
popular in recent years since more
stores the country over have facil-
tiles to store them properly.
All winter pears are picked when
green and hard and are kept in
storage. A winter pear that has
been harvested, stored, and ripen-
ed properly is naturally mellow,
juicy, and aromatic.
Some of last years fruits we
may now buy in their dried form.
The combined supplies of dried
raisins, apricots, peaches, and
prunes produced in 1887 was SUBJ
stantially above what it has been
in other recent years.
Last year California produced
an unusually large amount of dried
prunes. And the total amount of
prunes available for breakfast fruit
and desserts this year is the sec
ond largest it has ever been.
Popular in winter cakes and
buildings are raisins. These too
are in the plentiful class now. For
the 1887 season raisin production
was the largest in the last five
years. Also plentiful now are dried
apricots and peaches.

ORGAN TONES
I love to hear the organ play
In the dim twilight,
I love the strains of "a Perfect
Day."
Or "In the Still of the Night"
I'm listening now to Sylvia"
Played soft and sweet,
The tones of the organ are
Lulling me to sleep.
The touching, mellow, organ tones
Bring kind thoughts to me,
They soothe and clear, when hope
is gone,
From gloom I am free.
Every good impulse of the soul,
The longing and pain,
Each joy and sorrow told,
In its appealing strains.
I love to hear the organ play,
In tones so sweet,
My soul is stirred, and each day
Life is more complete.

SINKING OF THE MAINE

Pickering lights flashed over
Havana Harbor where the Y. 5. ,.
Maine lay at anchor or the night
of February Is, 1898. Over the
quiet reaches of the bay came the
musical notes Of Taps" destined
never again to be sounded by a
Young marine who was performing
his last official duties for the Gay.
Suddenly a terrific explosion all
but tore the vessel apart, while
death, agony, flames and smoke
took command. More than 26O
lives were snuffed out. but the liv-
ing who remained on the decks Of
the doomed ship displayed remark
able discipline and order.
At the time of the explosion
Private William Anthony, of the
U. S. Marines, was the ordelly of
Captain Charles D. Sigsbee woh
was in his cabin. The lights were
Immediately obscured and the
compartment filed with smoke.
There was immediate and intense
darkness.
Fully aware that the ship was
about to sink, Anthony rushed
from the comparative safety of
the open deck into the darkened
passage of the doomed vessel to
find his captain. Every instinct
of the man urged him to seek his
own safety. The call to duty prov
ed stronger He groped his way
to Captain Sigsbee and said: "Sir,
have to report that the ship has
been blown up and IS sinking"
Discipline was superb Maya
zines were flooded, boats which re
mained were lowered and every
able-odied member of the crew did
his part, even though threatening
flames and minor explosions still
harassed the vessel. When the
ship was finally abandoned the
Stars and Stripes was raised over
the shattered hulk.
| Courageous men responded to
the emergency even as they Did
during the bombing of the Inflated
Panay in China, and for long af-
terward Remember tie Maine

YOUR INCOME TAX REPORT
How To Avoid Common Errors In
Making Out Your Returns

Forms for filing returns of in

Failure to receive a form, however.

obligation to file his return and
pay the tax on time, on or before

the calendar-year basis, as is the
case with most individuals. Forms
may be obtained upon request,
written or personal, from the Of
fees of collectors of internal rev
enue and deputy collectors. Per
sons whose net income for 1897
was derived chiefly from saalry Oh
wages and was not in excess Of

net income was in excess of S.. 900.

rived from a business, profession.
rents, or sale of property, are re-
quired to use Form 1040. Failure
to use the proper form presents
difficulties to both the taxpayer
and the Bureau of Internal Rev
enue Therefore, it is emphasized
that a taxpayer engaged in a bust
ness or profession from which he
derived a net income of less than
S5 ,OGO is required to use Form
1O4O. The return must be filed
with the collector Of internal rev.
enue for the district in which the
taxpayer has his legal residence or
principal place Of business on or
