Later he was married to Rachel Moon, on November 5, 1874, and to this union was born one daughter, Alveretta, wife of Williarh Hunt, who, with the widow and five grandchildren, Rolland, Merland, Stanley, Walter and Mabel, survive. The granddaughter, Mabel, was at her grandfather's home when his death occurred. The daughter lives at Martinsville, Ohio.

Mr. Long united with the Friends church March 13, 1893, and was a faithful member and was a Bible student and took great interest in the Bible school.

A Day of Surprises.

The home* of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Johnson, on Route 10, was a scene of merriment Friday evening, March 26th, the occasion being the twentyfirst birthday anniversary of their nephew, Floyd Vernon, who is employed there for the summer.

Floyd has always boasted of his ability to discover any plans of surprise upon him, but before his last natal day was ended he confessed to being surprised several times during that day. Friday morning Mr. Johnson had him working away from the house, and when Floyd came to dinner he was given a complete surprise by learning his guests at dinner were Mr. and Mrs. Aldus Smith and son, his mother, Mrs. Charles Vernon, and Lelia Lamb.

He saw Mr. Smith's automobile standing in front of the house, but suspected nothing until on entering the house, when Mrs. Johnson took him by the arm and led him to an adjoining room, where the guests were seated.

He was presented with a handsome gold watch and fob by his mother and a most beautiful ring from his brother-in-law, Aldus Smith. Floyd was unable to find words to express his thoughts and happiness.

After the bounteous and well prepared dinner was disposed of, he said: "After such a shock as this I shall not be able to work any more today." He was told he wasn't expected to work any more that day. But he said later he worked harder in the afternoon than he did before, when he was given his regular "birthday lickin's."

Thinking he had had his share of birthday happiness, he was given another nerve racking surprise when about 8 o'clock that evening several more of his friends came in as if the wind had placed them there. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Vernon, Mr. and Mrs. Aldus Smith and son, George Richard Mr. and Mrs. George Johnson and daughters. Flora, Anna, Gertrude and Lavauirhn Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cox, Misses Jessie and Iva Edwards, Florence Caldwell, Letha Young, Selina Thompson, Goldie Keller, Lelia Lamb Elmer Wlainscott," Samuel Cottrell, Raymond Weber, Lawrence Weber, Alfred Potts, Charles Wickard, Raymond Richey, Roy Larrabee and Delbert Haines. The evening was spent in singing, music and games. Refreshments of candy and apples were served. All left at a late hour with best wishes and compliments for Floyd. All enjoyed themselves to the greatest extent and hope to be with him again soon. One Who Was There.

Iowa Young Woman Encounters Difficulties In Making Fine Record In Department of

Agriculture's Club.

Washington, D. C„ March 27.— Miss Eloise Parson, of Clarinda, Iowa, is the young woman whose record in the department of agriculture's garden and canning (Subs was the best of the thousands, made by members in the thirtythree Northern states. Miss Parsons obtained a yield of 5,318 pounds of tomatoes from her tenth-acre plat. Her costs were $15.61, and her net profits were $115.57. Her costs over every item of expense in raising the crop, including rent of land, her own time (estimated at 10 cents an hour fertilizers and sprays. She describes some of her difficulties in obtaining this result as follows: "I decided I would try and have ripe tomatoes very early and so obtain good prices for them. So in the later part of February I planted the early variety in three boxes which I placed on a shelf in front of the south windows in the dining room. In a short time they came through and grew rapidly. But they began to grow tall and spindly, so in the latter part of March I transplanted part of them into small pasteboard boxes, one plant in each. By doing this I could move them to the open without disturbing the roots and hindering the development of the plants. Then as soon as it was warm enough I set the rest in a cold frame, four inches apart each way. In the first of April I planted the late variety in the hot bed. Those in the cold frame and in the pasteboard boxes developed a great amount of roots and were very strong, some in bloom, when I transplanted them to the open on the 22nd day of May. The plants in the hot bed did not develop such strong roots, and because of this fact, and also that it was very dry, 1 lost quite a few of them when I transplanted them. After filling in for the fourth time a few vacant places still remained, as it was almost impossible to get them started because of the early drought. In all I had over 600 plants. "I hoed them after each rain and whenever I thought it necessary. As we moved to this place this spring, and the garden was not plowed in the fall, many weed seeds were not destroyed and I had a very hard time keeping the weeds down. The plants did not grow very large, and as it continued very dry, I decided it not best to stake the plants. The plants did not make a very great growth and very few needed pruning. I hoed them until the tomatoes began to ripen and the plants were too large. "I picked my first ripe tomatoes on the 9th of July. From then on the pickings every two or three days grew larger. At first I received ten cents a pound, but soon the price began to fall so that after the 1st of September I received only two cents a pound. As my father runs a dairy, he took the tomatoes with him and sold them very easily to the hotels, restaurants and milk customers. He was able to sell almost all of them until the green ones were gathered. As long as we could get a dollar a bushel for the tomatoes fresh and as we were so very busy with the work of a dairy, I thought it best not to can them. "After school began I was kept very busy picking the tomatoes. For several weeks it took me three evenings of the week to get over the entire patch and often gathered over ten bushels. During the secand and third weeks of September we had so much rainy weather that I could not gather the tomatoes, and after the rains they began to ripen so rapidly that many of them split. On the 12th and 13 th of October I had to gather the green tomatoes. I gathered 1,083 pounds. There was no sale for these. We used all we could and I gave some to the neighbors, and still a great many went, to waste, as they were wet when they were gathered, and as it turned warm again, they rotted very fast. As we had a great deal of company this summer, and because of our other garden vegetables were not as good as usual, we used more tomatoes fresh. "As a summary, I will state that my expei^es were $15.61 and my profit $115.57, besides winning $23 in prizes at the state fair. I have enjoyed this work, although it has been long and sometimes a bit lonesome. It has been a way by which I could not only have my own spending 'money and pay my expenses at the Farm Camp, but I also have a bank account of $60."
