Chester Planter . Dies of Lockjaw Chester, April 5.—Galloway Wade, one of west Chester county’s moat popular and promising young plant ers, died late tonight at the Chester sanitarium of lockjaw. This was the first case of lockjaw experienced in this section of South Carolina in many years and it attracted widespread in terest and sympathy. Mr. Wade made a valiant fight and every medical aid ,, available was brought into play but all proved in effective. The lockjaw antitetanic se rum, which in some cases has proved effective and which was resorted to immediately when it was found that he was in the grip of the deadly dia- ease, failed to perform its work quick ly enough. The terrible, convulsions which accompanied his case from the start speedily exhausted his strength until his heart could no longer hold out. His suffering and agony are said to have been intense. It is prob able that he might have responded to the lockjaw treatment had his strenyth held but, as in some ways it had helped him. He became sick last Tuesday. While, of course, it is impossible to trace the origin of the lockjaw, many think it had its inception in a bad accident Mr. Wade sustained recently in a sawmill when his hand came in contact with a buzz saw, severing two fingers, and some think the tetanus germ got into his blood before he could reach the sanitaeium. He was apparently well and sound, except for his injured hand, until early this week when -he-began to complain of his neck, which later culminated in lock jaw. Mr. Wade was only about 26 years of age and was a young man of the highest ideals and a devoted member of the Baptist faith. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Wade of Wilkesburg, and three sister, Mrs. Richard Sadler of near Sharon and Misses Mary and Elizabeth Wade of Chester, and a brother, Luther Wade of Wilkesburg.

Tentative grades for cannery toma toes have been formulated by the United States Department of Agricul ture for the purpose of providing a basis for agreements and purchases of raw material used In the manufacture of canned tomatoes and tomato prod ucts. It Is hoped that the use of spe cific standards w*!', produce better business relations between manufac turers and growers, and ultimately re sult in a measurable Improvement In the quality of the stock delivered to the cannery. « The principal of standardization Is now firmly established and becomes more popular each year, the depart ment says. Grades are wjdely used W the buying and selling of farm crops and are now considered a necessary feature of any well-ordered system of marketing. It Is f*^t that grades prob ably call be made applicable to most, if not all, of the fruits and vegetables grown for cannery purposes. - No Standard Grades. Up to the present time there has been no standard grades for cannery tomatoes. Some manufacturers have endeavored to buy on more or less definite specifications, but there has been little uniformity In the terminol ogy and application of such locally drawn standards. Establishment of federal grades -will enable all canners to buy ou a quality basis and enable growers to sell tomatoes at prices commensurate with the quality deliv ered, the department says. Success of the department’s system of grading cannery crops seems to de pend largely upon the establishment of definite gradations in price to con form with the variations tn quality and condition, ft Is pointed out. Such price gradations '•IN furnish a stim ulus to the grower to strive to deliver only a high quality product. In order, to secure the attendant premium. A) fair basis for discounting deliveries of low-grade tomatoes will also discour age the grower from delivering low- grade stock, and bring about a marked Improvement In the qnaltty of the to matoes grown and harvested. The growter who finds that he Is unable to produce tomatoes that will. grade U. S. No. 1 will be Inclined to discrim inate more carefully In the purchase of his seed, er plants, and "will focus his Interest on the elimination of the unproductive and poorly adapted strains of tomatoes and the constant Improvement of a few wall-selected va rieties, the department feels. Growers of cannery tomatoes will not be expected to use the proposed grades as a basis for separating the crop Into two or three classes before hauling to the cannery, as this prob ably would unduly Increase handling coats. Canners ordinarily are not equipped to handle lots of different qualities separately, and since Individ ual lots lose their Identity Immediate ly after being unloaded there would be little advantage in dolqg extensive sorting of the crop In the field," the department says. It Is felt that the more logical plan would be for menu- facturers to employ the standards as a basis fqr^ampifng the loads as they come to the receiving platform, there by ascertaining the grade and fixing the value of each load. To Try Out Standard*, The principle of buying cannery to matoes on grade la meeting with con siderable Interest among canners of tomatoes and tomato products and several manufacturers have Indicated their Intention to try out the proposed federal standards as a basis for their buying next season. One manufactur er In southern New Jersey has Incor porated in TJ. S. No. 1 grade In his agreements with the growers. In western New York the grades will be used by one large operator on portion of the acreege which he has under contract for 1924. Indiana can- uen have assured the department that they are heartily iff accord with the efforts being made to formulate a fair and workable system of grading, and have offered their co-operation In get ting such a system established uni formly in that state. The tentative grades have been ap proved and adopted unanimously by the Trt-8tate Packers’ association, an organization representing the cannery Interests of Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey. It also Is reported that the proposed grades probably will b* established as legal grades in New Jersey by the bureau of markets of the state department of agriculture. —“7 ' r 1 TH Z * HMtlllintfe ;: Pathetic Road Picture*: ; ; The man who left the Jack - ; handle at heme. !

Miss Dial Wins Again In Play Writing Friends here of Miss Rebecca Dial, daughter of Senator and Mrs. Nath aniel Dial, were delighted to read in The State of Sunday that she had been awarded first prize in a play writing contest conducted by that paper. Prizes were offered in four classes, Miss Dial competing and winning first place in the most ambi tious class, that of the long play. Seventeen other contestants offered plays in the same classification. Miss Dial’s play was entitled “The Undertow.” In the announcement of the prize winners, it was said “Miss Dial won this same prize two years ago at the initial play-writing contest conducted by The State. Her present play differs in the extreme from her first effort, in “No Dogs Allowed," Miss Dial wrote a fanciful vein, but in her present play she has followed a story from life with most accurate dramatic sense., the result of which is a folk drama that, in the opinion of Dr. Felder Smith OPTOMETRIST fBtm Specialist MODERN SERVICE Jacobs & Company Building Phone 23~ “Give and Take” € t Modem business and age-old romance are featured in this rollicking play. . *’• .
