how many know that this vegetable
is a native of the tropics? 1t is
believed that its native home is the
East Indies, because the first rec
ord OF it IS from India. Throughout
the tropics the eggplant is cult
waited. 1t is hardy perennial herb
or superb requiring a long, warm
growing season.
In the United States it will grow
as far North as New York. In the
Southern States it reaches perfec-
ton. During the first winter months,
when fresh vegetables are scarce,
the eggplant is hailed with delight
by housewives. There are many de-
licious ways of serving the eggplant,
though sliced and fried seems to be
the one way 1t is offered at public
eating places.
Successful cultivation of this veg
etable demands the services of those
who have studied the needs of this
plant. Nearly all the fruit reaching
proper size is edible. When ripe, the
fruit parts from the stem readily.
1t has excellent keeping qualities
and ships we'll.
There are three main types. No
popular demad has arisen for
variety of favors. No dissatisfac-
ton Is voices as to color or form
There are several different shapes
grown and even a white shape that
resembles a banana. But the hand
some, glossy black with its rich,
purplish tinge. remains the favor
lite. For the small garden the Early
Dwarf Purple has been in demand
To limited extent eggplants have
been grown under glass. Where early
fruit is desired, seeds are sown in
hotbeds. 1t requires from 12O to
$50 days from seed to ripe fruit.
While eggplants will grow on any
type of soil in the South, it is par
tlal to rich, deep, loamy soil that is
free from debris. The ground must
be plowed deep and thoroughly, no
matter what type of soil is culti-
waited. And though not as thirsty
as cabbages and beets, it needs an
adequate amount of water.
The most destructive disease of
the plant is blight fungus, and the
most dreaded insect foes the cut
worm and the aphis. The first at
tacks the young plants, the latter
those that are almost ready for har-
Vestlng. Taking it all in all, this
vegetable is not difficult to grow,
and it fully repays the gardener for
the attention given.
Consult your paper for the new
ways OF serving the eggplant in
place of meat for luncheon.

West opened the ten of hearts,
dummy's king was put up. and
South trumped Easts ace. South
then led the ace of spades.
West was absolutely sure that
South, to justify his bidding. must
have both the king of diamonds and
the ace of clubs Dummy's club
suit must therefore be solid, and
unless East-West could win three
tricks before trumps were drawn,
South would make his contract.
If West got in with the spade
king on the second round, he could
take only the diamond ace; after
that Souths king would be the
high diamond and all those clubs
would come rolling forth. Yet the
only way to get East in the lead
to play diamond toward the ace
queen, was if East held the guarded
queen of spades.
West therefore took deep breath
and tossed the king of spades on
South's ace. West would have
looked very silly if East had held
the king of diamonds: but Vests
figuring had been accurate. East
took the spade queen on the next
lead, led diamond, and gave West
the setting tricks.

Forts Hit Emden:

base at Emden with about | 1000 tons
of bombs today in pioneering as
sault perhaps setting new course
for the Allied aerial offensive
against Europe.
The Emden raid, probably was
the heaviest attack the eighth Unit
ed States air force yet has mount
ed against single target.
Ordered for the first time to ham,
mer home the attack regardless of
weather, the huge fleet of forts
gave the Nazi U-boat and ship
building center a shattering blow
despite a slight overcast which
prevented detailed observation of
the results.
1t was believed American losses
we're very light, considering the
scale of the effort. Final reports
may show it to have been one of
the Eighth air forces most sue

DIFFERENT METHOD
In delivering the massive weight
of high explosive bombs and in
cendiaries to fountainhead of the
resumed U-boat war, the fortresses
used the pathfinder method of
setting up the target.
One group of forts went on ahead
of the main formations, found the
area marked for destruction, and
ringed it with flares. Heretofore
the fortresses have pin pointed"
targets. Maj. Gen. Ira c. Eaker

Pacific Electric trainmen and bus

Phil, who was expelled from Ber-

tro.
Meanwhile bond drive officials de-
clared that if Imperial county fails
to meet its quota in the third war
loan, it will be entirely the fault
of Ell Centro. The Ell Centre area
still is 100000 short of its quota and
there are only three more days in
which to meet it.
MANY INDIFFERENT
Other areas in the county already
have gone over the top, residents
purchasing more than their quota.
The shame of Ell Centre, bond Of
ficials said, lies in the indifference
many of her residents have toward
the third war loan.
Is Ell Centro going to fail to meet
her obligation? The next three days
will tell. i
One outsider, C. c.. Gabrielson of
Los Angeles, who makes the city
audit, bought $3.50 worth of bonds
and had them credited to Ell Cen
tro. If outsiders can do it, why can't
we?
Bond officials declared they hop
ed several large blocks would be
purchased in Ell Centro in the next
three daTs but feared that such
was not the case.

last few days, bonds for the big

Lieut.. Gen. Mark w. Clarks army
drove forward all along the line,
scoring the maximum gains on its
right flank in a push that threw
the Germans out of Calabrito and
Cassano, and posed the gravest
menace to the Nazi flank around
Naples.
Cracking the backbone of opposi-
tion in bloody struggles sometimes
fought hand-to-hand, the Ameri-
can and British assault forces sent
the Germans reeling back on the
approaches to Naples, fighting only
rear guard actions.
The Allies were cracking through
the German positions north of Sal
erno, hacking at them with bare
bayonets in some cases, while
swinging the hook on the east flank
to accentuate the threat of encir-
cling doomed Naples.
CLEAN OUT NESTS
Little by little they were cleaning
out the hedgehog nests, antitank
guns, heavy and light machine gun
posts, and mortar and grenade fire
traps. Every yard gained meant SO
much more progress toward the
valleys beyond the ravines which
open the way to Naples.
The enemy was under constant
pressure all along the front and
