The majority of home gardener»
have a hobby on some sort of vege­
table or on some certain kind of flow­
ers. Tomatoes, being easy to grow.
And popular favor with the small gar­
den man.
While there are many who grow
any kind of tomatoes, not caring as to
the variety, there are others who seek
the best varieties for two purposes—
slicing for table use and for canning.
There AV* some families that prefer
»he medium-si zed. smooth tomato,
while others desire the largest that
can be grown. The larger tomato Is
suitable for slicing, but the house-
wife complains that It is usually too
large for canning, so the medium­
sized tomato seems to be more In the
limelight.
In either Instance, a strong, healthy
plant is necessary If the best results
and early fruit are desired.

If the window space In the base­

be used for the indoor garden. Such
a tray will be sufficient to produce a

TO HAVE AN INDOOR GARDEN
POT-GROWN TOMATOES
RULES FUR IHE MARRIED
Two American magistrate», a man
and a woman, we read in a Canadian
paper, have laid down a number of
■ roles of selfishness in married life.
Agreeing that half the cases of mar­
ital difficulties take their rite from a
lack of domestic “»hare and share
■ like," the magistrates outlined rem­
edies as follows:
The woman magistrate's program:
1. —That wife get her husband hot
i meals.
Down with tinned or cold
■neat affairs night after night.
2. —Husband should dry the dishes
where there ia no maid.
X—Husband should take wife out
at least two evenings a week and wife
should allow husband to rest at home
other evenings.
4.—Wife should pay rent, grocery
and butcher bills before she decks
herself out and refurnishes her home.
The man magistrate would sen­
tence a selfish husband to one of a’
combination of the following:
I.—To prepare the breakfast every
morning.
8—To take care of the children
cne hour a day.
’
4.—To have one evening a week.
5-—To take the family out every
Sunday—to church in the morning,
and for a walk in the afternoon.
X—To buy chocolates and fruit for
the wife and children once a week
7. —To allow the wife to handle the
family finances.
8. —To open a savings bank account.
9. —To refrain from asking his wife
to wait on him, but on the contrary
to wait on himself.
10. —To respect every day at least
once the promise he made to his wife
when he married her—that he would
love, honor and cherish her.
It is comparatively easy for yon to figure the approxi­
mate amount of your hills for a period of twelve months.
We will suppose, for example, that your monthly bill
averages $1.75. For the year it would be $21.00.
Now, then, the earning power of THREE SHARES of
our 7 per cent Prior Preference Stock for one year is ex­
actly that sum—$21.00, so that the income on three shares
of this stock is equivalent to what you regularly pay this
company for service.
This stock can be purchased NOW at $96.00 a share—
cash or easy payments, yielding you 7.3 per cent on your
investment. While paying for the stock on the easy pay­
ment plan, interest at 7 per cent will I m * allowed on your/
payments. In other words, you are getting a good rate of
interest on your savings all the time you are paying for
this stock.
