When father slams the door after a fuss in the morning and leaves the house he can think of 71,139 reasons why he should walk up to mother and tell her where she gets off. But when he gets back home that night and faces mother he can't think of one of them. [This is end of this column. Following is what is on my photocopy for next column.] CANNING FACTORY CONTRACTS FOR TOMATOES The management of the Neosho Canning Company has decided to put up tomatoes this year, and 250 acres have already been contracted from local growers, according to F. A. Taiclet, business manager. In addition other tomatoes will be bought if the plant is able to handle more than what has been contracted for. The plant will begin operations in August and continue on tomatoes until frost. If green beans can be secured in sufficient quantities they also will be canned. After the tomatoes and green beans are disposed of it is proposed to put up apples if they can be bought at the right price, Mr. Taiclet said. The Neosho Canning Company did not operate last year, owing to the low price of canned tomatoes and the high price of tins. The factory employs from 100 to 200 hands, mostly women, when in operation. The farmers who plant tomatoes this year are assured of a ready market. FORTY YEARS AGO. Miss Ida Miller, professor of elocution in McKendree College, arrived home Monday. J. E.
