The father replied that she would have to take that up with her mother.

COLLI) NOT TELL TOMATOES I-ROM POTATOES One of Smith'field’s best gar deners lost a fine row of tomato vines last week because his 1’ tie son did not know tomatoes from potatoes. This particular gardener thought he had the finer-, tomato iplants in town. Last Sat urday his wife sent their little so/i to the garden to dig a few pota toes. The little fellow uprooted a row of the fine tomatoes and re ported to his mother that potatoes were ver yscarce, stating that lie had found only one small one. This was found outside the t * mato row. Wihen the child's j father visited the garden Sunday J he was surprised and not a little chagrined to find that his beau tiful row of tomato plants hat been destroyed. This gardener suggests that fathers teach their children the different kinds of vegetables that grow in a garden. i ed.

Without exception, the entire world wishes him well. The price of wheat dropped to •*7 '4 cents some days ago. Low est price since P.H-1. For the Federal Reserve and the combin ed forces of usury to attack stock values makes no difference. Only wicked gamblers l>uy stocks. Hut the conduct of the Fed eral Reserve will attract Presi dent Hoover’s attention, if wheat, cotton and other farm products continue dropping. It is embarrassing to take of fice tm a “save the farmer” plat form and find that your Federal Reserve is hitting the wheat and cotton growers on the head. Labor appears to have won the British election. British labor is socialistic, much rrf it 'crrmmunrstTC, but of mil l co,mm u nism. Imagine the panic in dear old Wall Street and every well organ ized financial mind if Labor and socialism controlled the govern ment- of this country. But the British will manage. They “muddle through” because they have common sense and British Labor has honest, intelV [fent leaders.

The motto of the Pacific Coast seems to he: “If you haven’t go' a thing, get it.” The city of Stockton, the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys can uro<luce enough food to feed a great part of the world. Hut the place needs a harbor for ships, ami will have it. Stock ton, the state of California and the Federal Government this year will dig a deep water channel to the sea, and Stockton will have /arbor “big en >ugh to hold !*■) per cent of the snips mat com*.; through the Golden Gate.” No one know; what the future of the Pacific Coast will be, or what the size of in'and harbors built will be, wherever men want them. Mr. George E. Moore of No. 52 Vanderbilt avenue, New York City, can tell about an e.ectric shovel that digs fifteen cubic yards of earth at one b'te.
