That last year Panama hat may

son will be short and it can be
cleaned, don't you know.
Cheese buyers are securing the
country and offering 15c per pound
for Swiss cheese. That is consid-
cred big price at this season of the

1t is the boast of many "big

good many of us not born with shoes

The newspaper is a wide field
and full of roses and thorns. When
you roast the preacher the uugodly
smile; when you roast the UngOdly
the preacher smiles. If you roast
the saloonIman the teetotaler smiles;
when you roast the teetOtaler the
saloon man sets 'em up. II you
swear you are wicked man, and if
you pray you are a hipOcrite. If
you have an opinion you get cussed
and if you don't you are a nonentity.
The preacher knows one thing, the
saloon man or gambler another,
but the journalist is expected to
know everything. He is the best
man and the worst man in the com
munity. Be damned if you do and
be damned if you don't.
The prospect for the straw
berry and small fruit crop Is vely
discouraging and there will be but a
light crop at the best. It is said
that strawberries Will be very late
in ripening this season. In years
past the berries have been ripe by
the fore part OF June and the second
week in that month saw large
quantities on the market. This
will not be the case this year, and it
will be July before the home grown
berries are on the market. Cherries
will not be full crop by any means
this year. The blossoms were
damaged by the frost and the fruit
is not doing well. 1t is feared that
many of the cherries will drop from
the trees before they have ripened,
because of the cold. Raspberries
Will be light crop as the blossoms
have been damaged to some extent
