will be begun until it is entirely
subscribed.
Arrangements for each street sign
are to be made through The Post.
Donations of lumber and paint will
be gladly accepted by Mr, Stile to
carry on his project. Especially
needed are strips of 1 inch white
pine, 3 and % inch door sills, at
least 33 inches long, and 1x6 inch
strips of California red wood. White,
black and bracket green paint is al-
so needed.
All persons interested in street
markers for Dallas are urged to ad-
mire the new sign on Lehman ave-
nue and then get to work. Anyone
who reads this article might appoint
himself a committee of one to start
raising a marker fund in his neigh-
borhood.
Mr. Stile, who lives on Daven-
port street and has been a resident
of Dallas for less than a month, is
contributing his time and labor to
the street marker project and feels
that the co-operation of other civic-
minded, people hereabouts is reward

Tomato Canning
Hits New Peak
The 1941 season hung up a new
record for the canning of tomatoes
and tomato products in Pennsyl-
vania, according to the reports of
the Fruit and Vegetable Inspection
Divisions of the Bureau of Markets
of the Department of Agriculture.
Nearly 150 million pounds of to-
matoes were inspected during the
past year, which was an increase of
nearly 50 per cent over th amount
inspected the previous year.
Not only was a new record estab-
lished in the quantity of tomatoes
{ inspected, but the quality of the
crop was high, the average for the
State being 68 per cent of U. S. No.
1’s, and the average yield per acre,
| listed at 7.3 tons per acre, nearly

tons which was etsablished in 1939.
The average price per ton received
by the grower was -16.70 which was
an all-time high, the previous high
price paid in 1930, being $15.40 per
ton.
The extent of the expansion of
tomato growing in this State is
seen in the records which show that
in 1927 only 4,000 acres were
planted to that crop as compared
with 20,600 last year, the highest
on record, which is an increase of

stated to be the war needs.
As the tomato industry expanded
there was a corresponding increase
in the use of the inspection serv-
ice and as that service became more
widespread the quality of the crop
has shown consistent improvement

" For the fourth time in as many weeks all available copies of The Dallas
Post were completely sold out last
chase the paper at newsstands were disappointed.
week and many who regularly pur-
In spite of increased
press runs to meet the unprecedented demand for The Post since the first
of the year, and in spite of the opening of many new newsdealer outlets,
it has been difficult to guage the
number of copies required each
week. There is likewise no explan-
ation of a 25% increase in the net
paid subscripition list of The Post
since January 1st.
We. could, of course, print larger
quantities of copies each week but
this would invariably result in a
, waste which we do not believe is
justified under the circumstances.
| While circulation has shown a spec-
| tacular increase without promotion
or special offers of any kind, other
| revenues have declined. National
| advertising—automobile, radio, fer-
tilizer, farm equipment, household
furnishing — has been curtailed.
Newsprint and labor costs have in-
creased, Coarse and fine papers of
all kinds are more difficult to ob-
tain. For that reason, if for no
other, any waste of paper is un-
warranted.
In view of these facts and the
uncertain future, it will be neces-
sary for us to plan our pressruns.
We will be unable to anticipate
peak demands but will have to base
each week's producticn on the
number of regular subscribers and
orders placed at newsstands. This
is bound to result in many weeks
when extra copies of The Post will
be unavailable.
We believe those who want the
Post each week will co-operate with
© us. by telling their newsdealer to
save a copy for them every week.
Only in this way can they avoid
disappointment.
In a further effort to meet the
demand, avoid waste and curtail
all useless expense during the un-
certain days of the national emer-
gency, all free copies, except soldier
| copies, will be taken from our mail-
ling list for the duration after this
week’s issue is mailed. We believe
all who have been receiving The
Post free will understand. It will
mean the elimination of most of
our families—cousins, uncles and
aunts—old school teachers, the
lame and sick, and halt many others
who through custom and because of
many courtesies have for many
years received The Post free,
We know these readers—old
friends—will appreciate our posit-
ion. Since Pearl Harbor more than

but it is a costly service both in
time and money.
Many readers have offered to help
underwrite this expense. There have
been generous offers from persons in
all stations of life and from all parts
of the community. In all instances
these offers have been gratefully
acknowledged, but refused. This is
a small thing that we can do to en-
courage the fellows who have left
their jobs and homes to protect our
country. Because of the nature of
newspaper work we are unable to
devote the time to Red Cross, Air
raid precautions, and many other
war time duties that we would like
to perform—BUT we can mail pap-
ers to soldiers Free as long as they
get fun out of it.
The only fellow we ask to help us
in this work is the civilian reader
who has been receiving The Post
free. And we wouldn't ask him to
help, if five of our own men were
not now in the army, making it al-
most impossible for us to mail the
papers alone every Thursday night,

She is deep in the current copy of
the Saturday Evening Post, finishing
up the mystery serial, and she is
totally unresponsive. The more
hopefully the family eyes her, the
more deeply she becomes immersed.
The family begins milling about
restlessly. The M—of—F pulls in
her ears, reminding herself desper-
ately that this is all a mental habit.
That there has been a wholly suf-
ficient intake of calories for the day.
That a light sandwich and a glass
of milk is all that should be ex-
pected, and twice as much as need-
ed. She turns a page, and the family
glares at her with concentrated
venom. Finally it begins to chant in
unison, “When do we eat?” It re-
moves the magazine forcibly, hoists
her to her unwilling feet, and pro-
pels her toward the kitchen.
The Saturday Evening Post be-
comes a bone of contention, and the
winner settles himself comfortably
in -the chair lately vacated by his
mother, All is well with the world.
Mother is in the kitchen and food
is on the way.
There seems to be considerable
coffee left over, thriftily
from the breakfast surplus and the
dinner surplus. Maybe there is
enough without percolating any
more. It is Sunday night, and there
lis laziness in the very air. Perhaps
this one time it will be possible to
fool the family into thinking the
remains are a fresh batch, Perhaps
hiding the incriminating evidence,
the innards of the percolator, will
turn the trick. »
The family comes joyfully forth,
ranges itself around the kitchen
table picnic style. What, no bacon
and eggs? No, there is plenty of
roast beef left. Make yourself a
leaf lettuce to you.
NO BACON AND EGGS? The
combined reproachful stare of the
family is too much, Out comes the
frying-pan, the side of bacon, and
the egg-basket. One apiece will be
enough. No, one apiece is just a
starter, not worth messing up
plate for. Three will be about right.
One orders his eggs fried soft,
sunny-side up; one wants his hard,
and turned over; one wants one
fried on one side, one on the other;
one wants his eggs dibbled. In case
you don’t know what a dibbled egg
| is, it is an egg that started out as
yoke punctured and spread out in-
| to the white. Nice for a sandwich.

of the house takes a sip, puts down
the cup, and looks sternly at the
wife of his bosom, “Did you ever
try washing the coffee-pot ?” he in-
quires in a studiedly polite and
chilly voice. Yes, we wash the pot
thoroughly every once in a while.
On alternate Thursday we give it a
good going-over, including boiling it
with soda. “Well, in that case,” he
retorts acidly, “You forgot to take
out the dishrag.”
The leftover liquid, distressingly
black and potent, goes gurgling
down the drain, and a fresh pot of
coffee, made under the outraged eye
of the man-of-the-house, starts
perking on the stove while the eggs
congeal in their bacon-fat.
All over for another week.
Soy Bean Loans
Now Available
Loans for the production of soy
beans are now available to Luzerne
County farmers, it is announced by
the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan
Office at Harrisburg.
This office, a unit of the Farm
Credit Administration, is making
loans up to $400 to be used for the
purchase of seed and fertilizer and
for paying other expenses neces-
sary to produce this crop which is
so vital to the war industry, Loans
are secured by a first lien on the
crop and are to be repaid when the
crop is sold. The amount of the
loan is determined by the acreage
to be grown.
In addition to loans for soy beans
the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan
Office also makes loans on staple
farm crops and livestock.
A representative from the Harris-
burg Office will be in Luzerne Coun-
ty on Wednesday, April 15, at the
Post Office in Hazleton in the morn-
|ing and at the County Agent's Of-
fice in Wilkes-Barre in the after-
| noon. For the convenience of farm-
{ers in this county, however, ar-
rangements have been made for ap-
plications to be accepted daily by
