1t is a well-known fact that the
early tomato blossoms or blossom
clusters often fail to set fruits.
This may, be due to number of
factors but is usually due to cool
temperatures early in the growth
season, when the first two clus-
tiers of blossoms appear.
1t has been found that applica-
tons of certain plant hormones to
the blossoms wall cause fruits to
set. In many cases these fruits are
seedless or almost seedless.
Experiments have shown that, in
the case of tomatoes, it is only
worthwhile to spray the hormone
on the first two or three clusters.
These hormones are now available
at any seed store under various

Fustilug lighted the lamp, she saw
big horned owl bolted out of the
chimney hole, and sweep acroos
the room with a loud "Whoo."
1t must have been the same owl
that swept past Fustilug's head
the first time he struck match.
In the excitement of the day be-
fore, Mrs. Foster, upon taking
down the stove, had forgotten to
cover the flue hole, and the owl
came down the chimney.
Fustilug thought his bride had
thrown an old shoe at him. 1t was
the first time the bride had ever
seen an owl.
"Why honey, it's all as plain as
day now," said Mrs. Dudley.
You'll just have to go back to
him."
."Oh mother" the bride walled.
Il just never can go back now and
face his mother and father after
the way l cut up!"
"Never mind" said Old Man
Dudley. thine will change her
way of looking at it. When she
thinks it over, she'll get in her
right mind"
Catfish Corner folks thinks she
amt never been in her right mind.
She hasn't gone back yet.

THE WEDDING NIGHT
AT CATFISH CORNER
Bride Won't Come Home, But Mys-
terry of Departure is Finally
Solved
By MISS PINKIE PERRY

The wedding night of Miss Quo
ia Dudley of Cat Cove and Fusti-
lug Foster of Catfish Corner last
week proved sad disappointment
to the bridegroom at least, and a
tragedy for the bride. 1t also made
source of gossip all the past week
for the community, and the bride
is so unhappy and embarrassed
that she has not gone back to her
husband yet. :;
But the mystery has been re-
vealed-why she ran downstairs in
the middle of the night and went
home to her mother, after the
couple had planned to live with his
parents.
After the excitement of the we'd
ding, the household was late going
to bed.
Il have had the room cleaned up,
dear, and the stove taken down to
make it roomier, now that warmer
weather has come" Mrs. Foster
called up to the bride, as she went
upstairs.
Fustilug remained to talk to his
parents awhile, and then he went
upstairs. He struck a match to
light the lamp, and as he did, some
thing went past his head like an
old shoe, and blew the match out.
Honey, what in hell ais you"
he yelled at the bride in the dark
ness.
"Why, Fustilug, what do you
mean, talking to me that way?"
and excited and nervous, she burst

trade names. They should be used
according to the directions given
by the manufacturer; otherwise
they may cause damage or heavy
wrinkling of the tomato fruits.
The material should be sprayed
on the open blossoms with an
atomizer or fine sprayer. Since all
the blossoms on a cluster do not
open at one time it will require at
least two applications for each
cluster. Many commercial growers
are now using fruit setting hor-
mones successfully and there is no
reason why they should not be sue
cessful in the home garden espec-
tally in cool growing seasons. The
fact that main fruits would be
seedless would be an added attrac-
ton or incentive.

into tears.
81 thought you threw shoe at
me-" he said, and went over in the
darkness to pet her.
Meanwhile, the old folks down
stairs heard the bride sobbing, and
Mrs. Foster says, Il am going up
and see what is the matter" she
said.
"Now mother, just contain your
self, it's none of our business"
counseled Mr.. Foster. ''You let 'em
alone; they'll get over it."
Sure enough, the sobbing sub
sided shortly, and Mrs. Foster
breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile Fustilug was trying
to find out what was what.
"Now really, honey, didn't you
throw your shoe at me, just for
fun? ?" he pleaded.
ooh darling, you know l
couldn't" the bride protested.
Let me go light the lamp
again." he said.
He lighted the lamp and set the
chimney back in place.
"Oh Jesus!" the bride screamed,
and Mrs. Foster downstairs bounc-
ed up out of her chair and started
up stairs.
Keep your shirt on, Old Wo-
man." Mr.. Foster said.
Fustilug, upstairs, had his hands
full. He was more puzzled than be-
fore. "My God, honey, what has
happened now?" he asked.
"Get that thing out" the bride
yelled. ooh, I'll die!"
You could hear her yell all over
the house. Old man Foster himself
grabbed his cane and started up
behind his wife.
Before they got to the bedroom
door, the bride came bounding out
in her night clothes, and rushed
past them down the steps, and out
the front door.
Have you all gone crazy?" the
old man asked.
Fustilug was so excited, puzzled
and angry he lost control of him
self. Get out of here" he scream
ed at his parents. And he too
bounced out the door and down the
steps to look for the bride.
He ran all around the house
trampling like a stray bull trying
to find the gate he didn't come out
of. The old folks heard the noise,
and came down to help him seek
his bride. They never did find her.
While all this was going on the
bride was hoofing it down the road,
and was overtaken by Cattilettie
Cohoon of Cat Cove on his way
home from a late date.
"My Gawd, Quota" he said,
what is the matter?"
Il am going home to my moth
err" walled the bride, and she hop
ped into his car.
"You shore got quick mess of
married life," he commented.
''You would too" was the ans
wer she gave.
Not another word did she speak
until she got to her daddy's gate,
and without a thank you or good
night, she jumped out of the car
and ran to her daddy's door.
It's long story, about what old
man dudley said, and what he did
swear he was going to do next
day, but he cooled off before morn
ing, and the bride finally got her.

Gain for Premier Pinoy

The French senatorial elections indicate
that Premier Pinay, as far as public support is
concerned, has gained considerable ground with
his program to stabilize the national economy
and save the franc from ruinous imitation
Largely at the expense of the De Gaullists, his
conservative Independent Party has won eight
additional seats, and this is expected to
strengthen his hand in what he has been trying
to do since taking over the reins of government
several weeks ago.
Although the elections have been carried out
through electoral colleges rather than direct
public vote, the individuals casting the ballots
for the French Senators are themselves local
officials and members of the National Assembly.
In that capacity, they are close to the people,
and the gains scored by Mr.. Pinays party have
therefore been generally interpreted as refiec-
ton of increased popular support for his
economic policies-policies that include retrench-
ment in nonessential spending and the inaugura-
tion Of a new tax-collecting system containing
severe penalties for evasion and fraud.

but they ought to want to know more
about it-before 1t leaks.
Templeton Jones snuggled down in his

the roof.
Different materials have q different

There is the drumming on the metal
roof, the swishing on tiles. the slither on

Every roof has its own sound.
No doubt cosmopolitan fellow, used
to Singapore and the rest, could tell In
what part of the world he was, no matter
where he woke up.
Just by listening to the rain on the
roof he could tell Paris from London
and Bombay from Singapore.
Jones could only tell about his own
roof.
It made pleasing noise, not too loud,
not too muffied.
It played down the effects Of wind.
There was no heavy, guSty feeling COM

Wasn't that, after all. what mankind
had been striving for, all these ages?
The conscious and unconscious effects
of nature were, at times, utterly too much
for humanity. Man had seen f1t to try
to soften the natural processes. Not only
in and for themselves, but even more in
their effects on the mind of man.
In hostile universe, man had found
it necessary to Soothe himself with ideas.
Ideas that it was not all as utterly ruth
less as it seemed, but was something
different. Ideas that made man feel
not SO homeless in an unthinking cosmos.
These ideas grew and grew, and they
Soothed the thinker. and left the un-
thinking cold. 1t was this unthinking
element Gin the mind Of mani that now
and then. through the centuries, broke
