Electric Sunburn.


On board a cruiser recently under
repair at Portsmouth, England, it be-
came necessary to make a hole In the
shutter of a turret. The mechanical
processes commonly employed for
work of this kind are so slow that an
officer asked permission to melt the
hole by using the electric arc. This
operation, though well known, at
tracted many curious spectators. from
the captain down to the sailors. All
went we'll and the solid steel under
the action of the current flowed like
melted glass.
But on the morrow every one who
had witnessed the operation was eth
er half blinded or horribly burned.
The officer who had directed the work
had the skin of his face completely
scorched and of a deep copper color;
1t gave off a Serious liquid like that
from a burn. Several sailors who were
at some distance from the turret had
their vision so affected that they were
sent to the hospital and it was feared
that they might lose their sight.
This is characteristic Of electric

its common and weakest form sun

burning irritation. Sometimes, espe-

WATERMELON SIZE
 STEADILY INCREASING
They Are Also Getting Sweeter A: They-Get Bigger.


 If all the watermelons handled by the Salt River Valley Watermelon Growers association are like the one sent by the association to The Re- publican office last night the fame of this community as a watermelon cen ter ought to spread around the world pretty quickly. It was of excellent size and it's siez was equalled by its lusciousness
 The members of the association are the busiest people in the valley just now and they will be so for some weeks to come. The melon season year than last The first carload was shipped on June IS, while a year ago there were no shipments until June 29. The first melons were a little off in size as they always are at the beginning of the season. but the sun has already remedied that defect and every day brings bigger melons than the day before.
 At the beginning of the season George Brewster of the association es- timated the watermelon crop for this | season at 100 carloads The esti- mate was based on the acreage The yield so far has been fully up to ex- pectations so that the estimate will not be too high
 That will be by no means all the melons in the valley for. to say noth- | ing of the growers on the south side | there is another association of water melon growers on the east side

| Heard said that he hoped to get a si- nlilar subscription from the NJ. x r. | railroad. He spoke also of the efforts l of the aSnta Fe to advertise the val ley by running a half rate excursion from Albuquerque to Phoenix during the session of the irrigation congress, including a side trip to the Grand Canyon.
 General Sampson was called on and spoke only a few minutes but all that he said was most timely. He said he had been boosting the valley for fifteen years all over the world wher ever he went and hoped he had been able to do some little good. He is as ready now for work as ever. He be- lieves he has got some results giving one illustration as follows: he had placed literature in the hands of many in foreign lands. Among them was Senor Salvador, one of the largest land owners in Ecuador He had just re- ceived telegram from Senor Saliva dor saying he was in Tucson -earoute to Phoenix. The general made some very salutary comments suggesting that while telling all the good points Dl lliS TtBiOu CdTe De ldktH HOl lO draw the long bow. but keep well within the truth. The truth is good enough. He spoke of his journey up the Nile from Alexandria to Memphis where the land is valued from 5000 to S2,0O0 per acre and yet he said it is no more productive than the Salt River valley lands.
 w. J. Murphy followed in some com parisons with Southern California that were interesting and somewhat sur prinsing to many. That section with all its wealth and achievement has no more irrigated land than can be found in this valley though it IS in smaller valleys. He drew a number of lessons from California history.
 H. B. Wilkinson was the next speaker. He told of his interest in the valley and others similarly situated in very clear way and then outlined in part what was proposed by the fi- nance committee of the board of trade. Following him Dwight B. Heard took the floor and proceeded with the ex- planation of the plan as indicated in the beginning of this article.

The College Hero Like a Banquet Hall

There is nothing quite so sad as the college hero the day after graduation day. He has been elevated to the highest pinnacle. The applause of vast crowds is still ringing in his ears. There is the echo of his name shouted by hordes of admiring students, and he has been carried aloft on the shoul- ders of frenzied idolaters, with fair young ladies struggling to catch his eye. But with the last outburst of commencement Oratory. he finds his audience scattered to the sfour winds. and is confronted by the prospect of a quiet desk in the office of some very worldly corporation. The manager does not know what a hero he is. for he has never seen or heard of the greatness of his triumphs. The college hero is like a banquet hall the morning after the feast, writes John T. McCutcheon in the June Appleton's. The prosaic routine of daily work has only one bright spot, and that is when the an nual reunion comes along, and the hero for a brief moment again comes into his own.
 The year after commencement day is great leveler. From peerless heights the college hero drops to take his obscure niche in the everyday or der of things. The college grind who has never shOne except on examina- ton day, finds that he is just as good as the hero. Young Livingston. '0S, will spend the summer at his fathers country place and look forward to a pleasant job in fathers office next fall. Young Dawson, '0S, with s25 of his mothers slender store. will begin life in earnest the week after graduation day, and will be diligently looking for work And while Dawson is plugging along. Livingston will be getting the good things of life until some day the papers will be full of DawsOn's name. and the society columns full of Living ston's name. Thus life arranges its little scheme of comDensatiOns.

FAMILY lOF FIVE All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

It is a common thing in this con- try to see whole families growing up with nervous systems weakened by coffee drinking.
 That is because many parents do not realize that coffee contains a drug-caffeine-whc causes the trouble.
 "There are five children in my family" writes an Iowa mother, "all of whom drank coffee- from infancy upto two years ago.
 My husband and I had heart trouble and were advised to quit cof- fee. We did so and began to use Postum. We now are doing without medicine and are entirely relieved of heart trouble.
 (Caffeine causes heart trouble when continually used as in coffee drinking.)
 "Our eleven-year boy had a weak digestion from birth and yet all ways craved anl was given coffee. When we changed to Postum he liked it and we gave him all he wanted. He has been restored to health by Pos tum and still likes it.
 Long live the discoverer of Pos tum!"

YAVAPAI REPUBLICANS RAIIfY NATIONAL TICKET
An Outburst of Enthusiasm to Take. Place at Prescott Next Saturday Ninht,

The republicans of Phoenix and MaricOpa county have been a little slow. They have permitted themselves to be outstripped in a manifestation of enthusiasm over the national repub- lican ticket. Arrangements have been made for a grand ratification meeting at Prescott next Saturday night The Yavapai republicans have even been permitted to come to Phoenix and pur- loin an orator for the occasion. The coming function is thus described by the Journal Miner:
 Probably never before in the his tory of the county were the repub- licans of Yavapai so alert, active and harmonious As this year They are so enthusiastic over the republican na- tiOnal ticket and so pleased over the outlook in general that yesterday number of the active members of the party met with Chairman T. F.. Camp bell of the county committee and de- cided to hold a grand ratification meeting on next Saturday night. It only took a few minutes to reach this decision and shortly afterwards the Elks 'theater was secured, the band was engaged, and telegrams were sent to Los Angeles ordering a supply of Taft buttons and other campaign ac- cessories. s+, ,z
 Determined to make the ratifca- ton meeting memorable event, they decided to secure the services of the best orator in Arizona and a telephone' message was sent to General A. J. Sampson of Phoenix, inviting him to deliver the principal speech of the evening. T
 General Sampson is polished ora tor a man of brilliant rhetoric and of fluent delivery and his speech will be one that ought to pack the theater He was the first attorney general of Colo rado after it was admitted to state hood. and in later years he was ap- pointed as minister to Ecuador.
 The meeting will open at S:30 o'clock in order to permit those to att tend who are employed in me stores on Saturday evening. It is also plan ned to have a representation of repub licans from every section of the coun- ty.
