gave abundant evidence of her interest
in the welfare of Christs kingdom, and

she came to feel that she could not re-
ceive the spiritual help she needed in her
church relations she changed them and

will consume the world and leave only

Five thousand long green watermelons
Of the ''swank" variety were arranged in
huge pile within low board Enclosure

grove, IN the pleasant little village Of
Rocky Ford, Colo, one morning recent
~. Surrounding these watermelons were
little pyramids Of canteloupes. some Q 900
or 5000 in number. The top Of this
board inclosure served a. Q table, on
which the melons, sliced by big knives
into halves, were laid. only to be eager
b assaulted BY waiting crowds Of merry
people. who lined the tables as close as
they could stand The only restrictions
were numerous Tudely painted signs
tackled to trees, reading, please leave
your rinds upon the tables."
It was Melon Day at Rocky Ford, and
this melon pen was the center Of all in.

present at this annual festival were well

raising melons for market In this valley
