tion with the compiler of the weather
program. He has certainly hit II
without "A bobble. so far this year and
his predictions do not promise much
relief for month yet. For this week,
which he dcsignates The fifth storm
period of May" he said: "a storm
center will gather in the afternoon
and evening for several days, send
ing a series Of storm pulsations
across the country daily for number

clcs bring two storms every twenty
four hours. one coming later and the
other earlier. until they come togeth

No less than than three men have
struck one OF the Standard force with
in that many days for money to eat
on. Every one of the fellows was an
able-bodied man. but was also unfor-
tunately bum. Last week another
FELLOW was going from house to house
in the residence district. trying to sell
what appeared to be a ladies' high

easy for the general tough characters
of the public. Fire them out.-Sil-

States for sure full crop of every
variety, year after year. No late
frost, no drought, no flood, no wind.
oceans Of water for irrigating pur-
poses and perpetual sunshine is the
routine encountered each successive
season, marketing alone being the
only problem to be deciphered in the
successful operation of San Juan
fruit farm. Apples. peaches. pears,
pluuis. apricots. Dcctarines, ounces.
cherries. berries. grapes and currants
all grow to perfection and OF a size
and flavor second to none grown else
where. Potatoes, onions. turnips. rad
ishes, cabbage, asparagus. lettuce to-
matoes and all garden vegetables are
Just as prolific, the only obstacle to
doubling the acreage being transpor-
tation facilities. Eastern and Colora-
do merchants desiring to purchase
fruits or vegetables in quantities,
should at once open correspondence
with the Pennington Fruit Growers
association. They viii have the prod
uct and can guarantee prompt deliv-
ery.-Farmington Hustler.
