TOMATO SEED FOR YOUR 1917 CROP 



You will get an enormous crop of Tom.itoes from BolgKino's Tomato Seeds this year. 

 Our Seed was saved from one of the largest crops we have ever had. due to l>elng favored 

 by weather conditions. The vines were loaded with Large, Solid, Red Fruit. We know 

 positively by planting Seed from this "Big Crop" your yield will be much larger than it 

 you hadboiight seed grown where the weather conditions were not l:avor;a)le.

WESTERN UNION PLANS TO 

 TRAIN OPERATORS. 



The Western Union Telegraph Com- 

 pany has offered a bonus to about 1,000 

 manager-operators in small cities and 

 towns for each junior operator such 

 managers shall enlist and train. This 

 unusual step arises out of the ex- 

 traordinary growth in the use of the 

 telegraph and the consequent need for 

 competent operators to handle the 

 company's business with the dispatch 

 which its standards require. 



Any person, man or woman — over 

 the age of sixteen and with the requi- 

 site education and intelligence can be- 



come a junior operator. The Company 

 provides the necessary instruction free. 

 When the junior grade is reached, em- 

 ploynient is assured. 



In the larger cities, telegraph schools 

 are already maintained for teaching 

 operators. These, however, have not 

 been able to turn out a sufflcienr, num- 

 ber of trained men and women to 

 wholly meet the present demands. It 

 is now sought to give persons in 

 smaller places as well as tlie cities an 

 opportunity to study telegraphy either 

 by exclusive application or in conjunc- 

 tion with their other employment. 



Hubbard Wood, III.— Herbert Walsh 

 has gone into business here growing 

 florists' plants.
