CHRISTMAS
Cheer.
Hospital Inmates
Fare Well.

Not only did the hundreds of pa
tients at the Eastern State Hospital
have Christmas cheer in abundance
but they had veritable feast. And
how they enjoyed it, twas Christ
mas enough for any man even to see

1t took 110 large turkeys. 400
stalks of celery. thirty-two quarts
of cranberries. four barrels of ap-
pies. and other delicacies in proper
ton for the Christmas dinner. The
writer was an unexpected visitor at
both the female and male dining
rooms and can youch for the state
ment that each patient had al he OF
she could eat. The plates were
heaPed with turkey. beautifully
cooked and served as we'll as it was
possible under such circumstances
What impressed US as deeply as
anything else was the air OF cleanli-
ness that pervaded everothing.
Christmas eve the attendants hac
arranged little entertainment for the
patients in Cameron Hall which wa,
packed with the unfortunates. Santa
Claus had a present Of candy ano
fruits for each one. and those una
bic to be present received theirs il
their rooms.
DR.. Brunk received cash donations
from friends of the hospital in ex-
cess Of $500. This was expended
in candies and fruits. but the Christ
mas dinner was paid for by the in.
stitution. The superintendent very
much appreciates the generosity o.
those who contributed money foi
the Christmas entertainment Of those
under his care.
Relatives of the inmates did no
forget their loved ones, but sen
more boxes this Christmas than eve
before. Even live chickens weI,
among the things sent. Seventeel
boxes remained in the depot unde

Sumption on the Farm.

Make a good work bench this
winter.
Use all last years failures as
guideposts for the New Year.
Put the tools where they will be
the easiest to find. not the easiest to
drop.
Men are a good deal like beans
they don't amount to much unless
there's plenty of snap to them.
When cutting in the woodlot be
careful to avoid injuring any of the
smaller trees. They may be larger
sometimes. Care for them.
When you are thinking of buying
a farm. look for plenty of wood for
fuel and other purposes. for good
water, good neighbors and good
market advantages.
Keep a diary; begin on the first
day Of the New Year and follow i
up daily. You will be surprised
how many things that are important
to remember you will find stored
away.

 Forty seven carloads of luscious fragrant Imperial valley cantaloupes rolled out of the valley packing sheds for the coast and eastern markets yesterday. The melon shipments thus far this season total Al carloads, besides the heavy express shipments of the season.
 Seven carloads were sent out from Fl Centro yesterday. The prospect is that the Fl Centro Cantaloupe Growers association will send out at least three cars per day for the en- suing week This association sent out it's first carload on the 7th inst, another on the Sth, two on the 9th, two on the 10th, and three on the 11th inst.
 This is the original melon associa- tiOn of Fl Centro. and is composed of experienced melon growers who have GAO acres of cantaloupes pro nounced firstclass by the field in- spectors. Not more than one-half of the members have begun their shipments yet; but within another week the entire acreage will be send ing its melons to the Fl Centro pack ing sheds
 The Fl Centro Fancy Melon Crow CTS association at this early stage of the season has sent out four fifths as many cantaloupes as were handled by it for the entire season last year Its first carload out of the valley was sent out June ?. Last years season

shipments from Fl Centro amounted to 140 cars. with twenty-four cars sent here from the Holtville district. This year the Fl Centro Nancy Melon Growers association will have the crop from 1Op4 acres of first class melons to handle.
 Tomorrow morning a regular melon train will be established to run out of the valley daily from Brawley. Switch engines will gather up the cars from the various points and haul them to Brawley, where the melon train will be made up.
