MEXICAN people" said a
 truckman, 'have come to look upon the watermelon as a sort

6N MEXICAN people" said a p truckman, "have come to look upon the watermelon as a sort of national institution, belonging prop erly to the south and intimately asso- ciated with the eolored brother. As matter of fact the watermelon, which is fruit of the citrullus vulgaries, is a native of Asia and Africa. It is found plentifully in the latter country, where it is sometimes bitter and poisonous. Mankind has enjoyed melons as food from the earliest times, but no variety has won such warm place in the heart of the American people and Dixie as the watermelon It has been a theme for song and story; a blessing to poor people and delight to eplcures. In warm climates sugar can be made from water melons but that looks like sacrllege. The only way to treat a watermelon is to eat it in a shady place on hot day, thanking providence for the blessings which 1t has seen fit to bestow."
