CantaloupeF Facts and Figures

Albert Connor, President of the
Dewey Melon Growers Associa-
ton, is engaged in closing up the
senson's accounts in connection
with this organization. He says
the seasons returns are not high
ly satisfactory as to prices, but he
is not able as yet to give exact fig
ures. The season as to yield has
been satisfactory, although the
deficiency of water in the bitches
in August was the cause OF the
considerable number of soft mel
ons marketed in the latter part OF
August. While the absence OF
rainfall directly upon the crop this
year was an advantage, the alb
sence of rainfall in the mountains
and consequent deficiency i'll the
bitches was drawback. For two
months there was no water put
upon Mr.. Connor's fields. Still
the yield was good. Off twenty
acres he has picked 3,SlO crates
60 of which he reserved for seed
and the remainder went into mar
ket. OF this yield 1000 crates
we're gathered i'll one week-the
last week Of Augustine drought
and heat making the ripening
very rapid.
Jacob Larmore and his son
George are two Of our cantaloupo
growers who are perfectly happy
over the results of their seasons
work. They had five acres plant,
ed on Ed Swink's land, northeast
of town. An acre and two thirds
tbev turned over to Mr.. Swink as
rental, and the other 81 acres they
sold in the field at S55 per acre
and then took contract at $6 per
day to keep the whole patch picked;
As n result their melons netted
them 1926 per acre. And there
was no lying awake nights worry
ing about hail storms or slump
in the markets. ,
The Enterprise neglected last
week to correct an error in regard
to Mr.. Fenlason's cantaloupe
Weld. A reference to the acreage
hook of 80 instead of 1900, made
us credit his Sl4 crates to i've
acres when it should have been
four acres.

And far off sails which fit before the

wish come true; and for this reason
the words should never be spoken idly,
or used as a mere matter Of form. On
the other hand, to be sincere in the
greeting and to do what the words i'm
ply, is certain to bring happiness to
all.
And now. let us go on to the next
word in tho analysis, new"
Everybody likes new things, vi
less an exception may be made to
the so-called me- woman" New
gowns. new bonnets, new personal be-
longings of all sorts appeal especially
TO women. While clothes do not make
the person." every one has learned
that appearance In this world goes a
long way toward success. Under the
inspiration of knowing that one Is
w~ell-dressed often one has done his
best and the key note OF success has
been touched. It is human nature
that w%omankind should love pretty
new dresses, new bonnets and dainty
surrounding, so let no one accuse her
Of vanity for desiring them.
New ideas are sought after by the
philosopher; new conditions by the
scientist; new inventions by the in
yentor. Editors eagerly examine new
matter; and that which is truly origin
al or opens a new field of thought is
never found unavailable" no matter
how poorly It may be written.
There Is a constant hunt going on
for something new to further stimu-
late the energies, ambitions and Ie-
sires OF the worlds people; and never
was this craving 80 apparent as now
when we are closing the nineteenth
century. Everyone seems to feel that
we are on the verge of a new era
which in spite of the inventions OF the
past Is to be the most wonder produc-
ing period in the worlds progress. II
the inhabitants OF Mars continue to
signal us, as has been stated, who
knows but what some shrewd, enter
prising Yankee will put on his think
ing cap, build a flying machine that
will overcome all atmospheric con-
ditions and go sailing over to lie
planet one of these coming days?
Perhaps the North Pole will be dis
covered in the same way. although
why so many PEOPLE will risk life and
property to find a spot that is almost
certain to contain nothing that will
sustain life or hope. can only be laid
10 their insatiate greed for something
new.
It is to be hoped. however, that
while these greater things are going
on, some one may invent an automatic
servant that will get up in the morn

The annual CreefinS.

"A Happy New Year to you!" This
is the greeting which will be heard
on every side as WI cross the TIRES
hold of the new rear. 1t has become
a custom to repeat it. In many cases
It has little meaning. and is nothing
more than an empty compliment or an
idle wish. How much do you mean by
it? 1t is very easy to repeat the form
ula. 1t is a very simple matter to buy
a New Years card and enclose 1t in
IN envelope. But when you send this
greeting, or speak It, do you regard
it as a pledge or promise that you will
do nothing to make the recipient OF
1t unhappy, and that you will do all
in your power to relieve his anxieties
and bring gladness to his heirt?-

a Happy Metz Veor.

A happy New Year" How many
people realize the meaning of the
words as they go about with this
familiar greeting upon their lips? Il
wish you a happy New Year" Does
1t not seem that the wish carries a
blessing with it? And | believe IL
does when spoken by friends whose
words are always true and sincere.
For the benefit of those thoughtless
ones who never read between the lines.
let us analyze this significant greeting.
In the first place we wish our friend
happiness, aud the next question which
naturally suggests itself Is, what con.
stitutes happiness? A little friend OF
mine tells me that IL il to eat all the
candy he wants and not to 20 to he'd
until he wants to do SO. Another
friend of more mature years SAYS that
she would be perfectly happy II she
had all the money she wanted to spend
as she liked. Another desires fame.
another social position. And SO We
might go on asking and finding out
that almost every one has a different
uennltlon Tor happiness,
II the young lad were allowed to
follow his W sweet will and surfeit
himself with sweets and late hours, |
think the result would be anything bur
happy. AS for wealth, who can blame
anyone for wishing for all that one
cares to spend. and especially a wom-
IN to whom a separate income Is the
exception rather than the rule. 1t is
the spending of II which decides the
happiness or u%nhappiness of the
possessor. do not believe that any
one was ever really happy who used
wealth merely to crafty selfish am
billions.
Fame, too, Is a good thing to pos
sess, but how many who have gained
this high pinnacle will tell you tLat
It brings happiness Social position Is
also something after which there is
much striving. Yet when the coveted
place is reached 1t is so often found
TO be barren, and happiness has nc
resting place there. Social position
brings heavy responsibilities with it,
and social duties are hard and labori.
Gus without the happy results that
follow latpr in more worthy causes.
1t seems. then, that there must be
some special way to happiness not
easily found. There Is, but it is easy
enough to be seen by all who car,
to follow its winding way. Wiser
heads than mine found out long age
that only in trying to make other,
happy is real happiness ever gained
for oneself.
So in wishing our friends a happ,
New Year. we really obligate ourselve
to do all that we a to make tn
