IN FAVOR OF PING PONG
The jewelers. Approve of a Game That
Sends Them Watches to
RepaIr


Ping pong is a fine game said Jew
eler who does a lot of repairing. mo out
door or indoor sport has ever given us so
much to do 1t is surprising how many
persons have broken their watches since
the game became q, fad.
7 on see, people play the game without
removing their coats or waistcoats In the
excitement they forget about their watches
and the first thing man knows his time
piece bounds out Of his pocket. Sometimes
it strikes the table, but wherever it does
fall the watch is damaged. It may be
smashed all to bits or only a hand may be
disarranged, but it has to eventually come
to a man in my line of business to be
repaired. 4
THAT is not all. A player may tie his
watch to his pocket, but still it gets out of
gear. The constant jumping around and
the swinging of the arms disturbs the
works SO the watch has to be brought to
us to be regulated.
Il have had as many women's watches
as mems to repair. The women are even
more careless than the men. Their watches
dangle from their shirtwaists, and as a
result the watch jumps around like a,
weathercock in gale of wind. What hap
pens? If the watch doesn't drop on the
floor it gets SO much rough handling that
it won't keep time, that's all.
Surprising as it may. seem. my income
from repairing watches has almost trebled
since the craze for ping pong began

WOMEN MELON GROWERS
Two Boston Sisters Have Found Profitable
and CongenIaI Work In North
Carolina

About five years ago two young orphan
girls, the Misses Gaze Of Boston, jour
neyed from Ashevite toward Wilmington,
thinking that the milder, warmer air of
the coast would be more suitable for the
frail younger girl. They We're proceeding
by slow and easy stages toward the sea-.
when by sheer accident they were DELAYED
over night in a remote and isola ted farm
house, not far from the famous tobacco
and cotton belt, which sweeps in all it's
wealth from one end of the state of North
Carolina to the other. a.
They were practically at the end Of their
carefully -used finances. The older girl
thought over their prospects as she rested
in the shade of a farmhouse porch. She
looked idly out over the rich, neglected
acres, of land unused, untitled, but yet
holding such glowing. unthought-of re-
sources.
Just then the querulous voice of her
land lady reached her, and she listened
idly to the few sentences which changed
her whole future mot a watermelon
nearer than Wilmington, except few
scubby ones over toward oaks plantation
not fit for wild hogs to eat. Wilmington
produce dealers have to send clear to Au-
gust and Charleston for them The
young girl looked out again over the wide
eXpanse of acres, given up to thes SOFT
sweet winds and to ji1npson weeds, and a
true inspiration suddenly came to her and
struck her. Can you hire or rent land
cheap around here?" she asked of her
hostess eagerly: Yes, for a mere song. y
came the answer, and to-day there lie,
just west of Lulnbertown, 500 acres of
fair, fruitful fields, thick with great, lus-
scous watermelons. The striped sugar
melon they are called, and they rival
closely the famous "rattlesnake melon" of
Georgia. For miles along the side Of
these far-reaching fields the railroad runs.
a branch built on purpose for the shipping
of these same melons. During the season
car after car can be seen loading the
luscious fruit for cities hundreds of miles
away.
These two Boston girls can be seen each
summer experimenting in person the
shipment of their vast crops. And hun
dreds of these melons lie unpicked, free
