One can hardly realize that 1928 is passing so rapidly, but like that old adage, “time waits for no man,” we will soon be speaking of March, April and the other months as they come and go/ February, this year, contains , 29 days, last Leap Year adding; one day. A lot of important things have taken place in the-, month of February, and while we are told that the birth stone for this month is amethyst, and its meaning, preventive against violent passions, history supplies j that George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were born in February. The latter’s birthday will be observed in many places on thte twelfth, and the former’s on the twelfth, and the former’s Other important days in February, of especial interest to many, are Valentine Day, the 14th, Quinquagisma Sunday, and last, but not least, Ground Hog Day. Ihus for such a short month February can be termed a busy one just the same. Without it our calendar year would not be complete, because of the enthusiasm produced over noble deeds t done by Washington and Lincoln. ; We could get along without j February, however, but no nation is safe without enthusiasm; neither can any man go far without it. o ; SOUTH SYRACUSE Mrs. John Eavens’ called on Mrs. Dan Warbel Tuesday.

TOMATO YIELD IN INDIANA Indiana’s 75,000 acres yearly devoted to tomatoes long have led the United States in the quantity produced, and now the product has gained recognition from the government as being of superior quality. Sample cans of tomatoes packed under the direction of F. C. Gaylord, and his associaties of the Purdue university experiment station, have been chosen

by the department of agriculture as standard in color, and size in establishing grades for canned tomatoes. The samples came from the Indiana-Baltimore tomato, developed at Purdue, which has shown superior yielding and canning qualities. During last August, September and October, Gaylord and his co-workers visited 12 sections of Indiana and graded 3,500 tons of tomatoes at 13 different factories.
