The cantaloupe business has been ex-
tended from local industry of Rocky
Ford and few other little towns close
by, to include the furthermost parts of
the Arkansas valley in one year. The
growth of this industry has been SO rap
Id and 80 many farmers become growers
who had not given a thought 10 the
great struggle at Rocky Ford which re-
suited in such unexpected success in the
year 1897, that the principle of union
which brought them success has been
lost sight Of. This season began with
two men to handle the canteloupes,
each with his own system, and before
the season has closed both have failed
to meet their obligations to the growers.
After these failures it is evident that
some new system must be brought for
ward to take the place of the contract
plan. The question might suggest itself
to most inquiring minds if it is necessa-
nv for the farmers to let the middle men
have so much of the profits of the bus-
ness when e the commission men who
buy in such large quantities must sell
to some other commission, or have some
sold on commission, which necessitates
a large profit being made in order to
pay the ring who live off the farmers
anyway. Why could not the melon
growers of the Arkansas valley unite
and when the proper time comes put
men in the east to sell cantaloupes, and
ifthe market will not sustain good
prices for all the crop, let everv grower
dump in the field in proportion, and
then every one will reap the reward in
proportion by the consequent better
price.-Man zanola News.

EDITORS ARE GONE.

The editors have scattered. The con-
yentton of two weeks ago of The Nation
al Editorial Association is now merely
a memory. Loaded down with canta-
loupes, watermelops and Arkansas val

train OF Pallman cars this morning for
Omaha and the east.
The Arkansas valley trip WAS the
wind up of week of sightseeing. That
the citizens of the valley appreciated
the compliment paid them by the pen
Gil pushers was evidenced by the fact
that they sent them back east with the
best samples of fruit they could find,
and gave them oarbecuelike enter

Where the Difference Lies.

Two congressman we're having warm
argument over the war, and especi ally
over tho difference in the management
of the army and that Of the navy. in the
reading room of Washington hotel,
One of them would invariably close a
sentence Arranging some department oi
the army by asking, Now why couldn't
that have been done as well as the naval
officers did all their work." After he
had asked the question half-a-dozen or
more times, he was surprised to be con
fronted by quiet gentleman. who had
been sitting near, who calmly said.
Il can answer your question" Looking
at him somewhat fiercely. the congress
man said, "Well, go ahead; tell us why
naval work was better done titan army
work?" Simply because politicians
and persons with social pull could not
get naval commissions for civilian in
competents; the work in the navy was
all done by men specially educated TO
do it," WAS the quiet reply. '.Humphl
who are you?" asked the congressman.
Never mind my name; am a naval
officer" answered the gentleman. The
congressman said he had an engage
ment and started to leave. but before
doing SO he leaned over and said to the
naval officer, "Better he more careful
how you express opinions AMI criti.
cisms of the other branch of the SER
vice." Those in hearing joined the
naval officer in smiling and one man
said to another. Wonder how many
army commissions that congressman
secured for incompetenis?"

There lies a rosy armament
And here at home for thee the door

For thee. the summer long. we kept
The flowers in bloom We turned the sod,
And waited sun and rain and God
Painted the blossoms while we slept

And in the roses blossomings

And one would touch thy garments hens
Whose sweet eyes hold s.sasr days in them.

At the en- trance to the Fair grounds the old veterans and the young soldiers formed in line and, preceded by the band, marched through the big gate and up to the grand stand.

The day was grand.


 Miss Pine Bluff, see if you can do as>well at our Turn-fest celebration next year.
 Mayor Bell, of Pine Bluff, was at the depot to welcome the visitors and did it in grand style.
 Manager J. J. Whitaker, of the fair and his splendid charger. were much in evidence throughout the day.
 Horace Allis and George Hughes were at once taken charge of by the society swells of Pine Bluff and given a royal good time. They stayed over to attend the hop last night.
 The editors of both of the Little Rock papers lent their presence to the occasion.
 There was universal regret at the absence Of Mayor Wood son.
 The dust was nearly a foot deep.
 Coming back rom the fair grounds yesterday afternooh one was unable to see a hundred yards in advance owing to the dust, which was every where.
 A visitor speaks of Pine Bluff as the "City of Dust.''
