And the check— 1 took pains to see—was 274 marks and some pfennig.

The man who toek us to lunch is a German. recently married, recently the father of a baby—an expensive baby—and he is not a rich man. Yet he spent for a single lunch almost three times as much as my nurse carns in a_month.

In 1913, they say. California packed less than 12,000,000 cases of tomatoes. Maryland packed more than three times that number. Since then California packs have remained almost stationary, while Maryland packs have been de- creasing.
