OF the 1900 tomato canning firms in
the United States, substantial num-
ber have already signified their ap-
proval of the plan and their desire
to cooperate.
Among the purposes of the associa-
ton are the following to maintain a
permanent central office to serve all
tomato Gamers; to create a greater
confidence and an understanding a.
mong the Gamers; to provide Gamers
with reliable facts and data relating
to all phases of the tomato canning
industry; to develop sales promotion
and merchandising programs; to
create a wider use and more uniform
distribution of canned tomatoes; to
promote higher standard of quality;
and to meet other problems relating
to this industry as they arise, ex-
planned Mr.. Matthews.
"While canned tomatoes represent
ed only 37.2 per cent of the nations
total tomato production in 1889, many
of the firms producing catsup, Chill
sauce and tomato juice also canned
tomatoes, so the interest in our or
ganization is much more widespread
than this figure indicates" said Mr..
Matthews. Tomato shipments last
year numbered approximately 19,500,-
900 cases, and ranks canned tomatoes
high on the list of canned vegetables
on a parity with corn and peas. To-
matoes are grown in all sections of
the country"
Mr.. Matthews stated that canned
tomatoes is the real answer to the
family on a moderate food budget.
Most people serve canned tomatoes
plain as a vegetable. But canned to-
matoes make appetizing and mouth
watering baked tomatoes and cheese,
tomato omelet and many other dish
es.

ling relief, housing, agriculture,

Fourth; end grants for local
public works; reduce federal pub
lie works; reduce subsidies.
Fifth; play no favorites; sub.

If these five things are done,
Taft said, ''the budget can be bal
anced at a figure Of approximately
$1,000, 00O, 900, without abandoning
a reasonable allowance for relief,
old age pensions, housing and soil
conservation. If prosperity returns,
u present tax system should pro-
vide that amount of money!"
If it failed to do so, the senator
added, 1--WE will have to increase
taxes, undesirable as that is, for
the alternative is worse"
Taft said his authority for the
budget balancing proposal and "the
figure at which it can be balanced

The republican senator said the
offer of President Roosevelt to-
award him a handsome prize if he
could show him how to balanc,,
the budget was an admission that
he (Roosevelt) is unable to get the
government or the country back
to normal"
Unless the federal government
makes both ends meet, Taft warn
ed, initiation will result such as
that in German when "a pair of
shoes cost $1,000 to 500, O0O."
Taft constantly assailed the ad-
ministration policy of deficit spend
ing and pump printing" as "a pol.
icy which will destroy all the goods
that may come from the reforms
he (Roosevelt) has initiated"
Opening his address, he said the
Presidents recent budget message
to congress moves very gingerly
in the right direction" but "a good
deal more will have to be DONE"
There is no serious evidence
that the President wants to stop
spending" he said after referring
to efforts six months ago "to force
through congress the notorious
spend-lend bill, authorizing ex.
penditures close to $4,000, 900, 900 by
government departments without
securing any appropriation by con-
gress, a new spending trick devel-
oped by the new deal spenders."

This office was not named in the

The marquis of Londonderry,
Stanley's father-in-law, was taking a

expressed "warmest thanks" for
the information.
Macmillan Works Late
The austere former judge, Lord
Macmillan, worked late at the infor-
nation ministry. His letter of res
ignation to Chamberlain said blunt
ly:
"You have been good enough to
tell me that impending changes
which you have in view is well as
the embarrassment which has been
caused by the fact that 1 do not have
a seat in the house of commons
render it expedient that 1 should
place my appointment at your dis
posal."
He concluded with the statement
IT shall always recall with pleasure
my brief experience of office under
YOU"
The appointments of Duncan and
Reith were unusual in that neither
is a member of parliament. Politi-
clans said, however, that seats in
the house of commons probably
would be found for them at an early
date.

RAT KILLER

When it comes to exterminat-

gene Ramsey, Burgaw carpen-
ter, considers himself pretty
lucky.
Ramsey got three mouse traps,
a Yuletide gift from his wife.
during the holidays and planned
to use them in an effort to get
rid of the large number of rats
at his home.
One day recently he set all
three mouse traps and caught
but one mouse. The next day he
tried to set one of the traps
again.
The trap kept swapping at his
fingers, made him quite angry,
so, without looking where he was
aiming threw the trap under
the stove in the kitchen.
Later Ramsey looked under
the stove and found that the
trap had accidentally struck and
killed another rodent.

servers to believe that the Red
army would be forced to abandon
efforts in the north to sever Fin
land and confine its invasion to the
Karelian isthmus to regain prestige.
"Nar Is Ours
The Firms already have declared
that the winter war in the north
is ours"
Without the Murmansk railroad.
Russia would have trouble getting
supplies to her forces in the north
but could continue moving men and
munitions to the Karelian isthmus
through Leningrad.
The Finnish high command, in
a communique dealing with yester-
days fighting, said its troops had
killed 400 Russians and took 40
prisoners in two encounters on the
eastern fronts.
On the Karelian isthmus the high
command said there had been lively
artillery activity and a Russian
night attack at Kirvesmaki, in the
Taipale sector, which was repulsed.
In one eastern front attack, north
east of Lake Ladoga, the Firms re-
ported the Red army beaten back
with the loss of $50 killed. A
second Soviet drive at Cuomussalmi
was said to have been repulsed at
an enemy cost of 250 dead and 40
prisoners.
A night of incessant Russian ar
t%illery barrages against the Man
nerheim line in the Karelian 18TH
mus strengthened the opinion
among military observers here that
the winter war of the next two
months would be fought in that
area.
