STUDENTS ACT AS
MELON PICkERS
LADS FIND SOLUTION OF THE
PROBLEM
GROWERS PLEASED WITH WORK
OF YOUTHS
Many College Boys In Search of Short
Hours and Good Wages Take
Advantage of Ranchers'
AfE Offer

The great and bothersome labor
problem with which melon growers of
Southern California have long been
confronted, appears at last to have
been luckily and satisfactorily solved
by a happy idea originating among
aproducers of "the luscious" at Ell Cen
stro, where between 500 and $50 college
boys have been hired TO gather the
famous cantaloupes of that valley.
The employment of Southern Cali
fornia college boys to do this work is
not alone thoroughly satisfactory, it is
said but extremely commendable, as
it will assure good work and enable
many youths who without this en-
ployment would have to pass their va
cations hustling at various odd jobs,
to work their way through college in
a really beneficial manner.
The nature of the work, in the open
fields and sunshine, is said to be ex-
trenely exhilarating and physically
and financially comparative.
For the present season most of the
students will be employed in the vi
entity of FL Centre, but it is believed
when the success of the plan has been

school, Occidental college, University
of Southern California and other col
leges with much enthusiasm.
This year most of the boys Will go
from the three institutes named, taking
with them their camp outfits, and will
designate certain students as chefs and
chiefs of the commissary departments.
They will be enabled In this way to
have a veritable vacation with all the
benefits of camp life. and can econo-
mize in the matter of food and cloth
ing They have been Informed the
weather will be hot and the work ar
duous, but nevertheless have evinced
their desire to go down to this land
of the new Dead sea.
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-05-26

demonstrated and the growers of other
sections have learned of it, the South
ern California college boys will be
called upon hereafter to work at salts
factory wages in all the melon grow
ing districts of the southland.
That they will supplant the Japan
csc and other foreigners who have been
doing the work already is predicted,
but the college boys will be given a
much higher scale of wages than the
aliens. Their work is declared by the
few growers who have experimental
with them to be more reliable and
efficient, and therefore the growers
are willing to pay more.
At Ell Centre they will be paid 1925
a day, with bonus of rs cents a day
payable at the close of the season for
faithfulness and good service.
The first party of the ambitious COL
lege students arrived at FL Centre last
week. There were seven of them, sent
down to try the work out from the
Polytechnic high school-and upon their
report will rest the decision of the
others.
1t is stated at the school that they
have already reported, urging all who
want a good time, mixed with little
outdoor work of the right quality, to
"come ahead"
The lads were sent to the Shepherd
ranch and will be followed by hun
dreds of others, it is said, when the
work begin in the immense cantaloupe
fields from which shipments are made
by Crutchfield & Voolfolk and other
big melon jobbers.
The melon men believe they have
struck a thoroughly satisfactory solu-
ton of the labor problem. which in the
past has been exceedingly exasperat-
ing, and the college boys also believe
they have found a thoroughly salts
factory solution of the money prob
lem, which has bothered not few of
them who, unlike others. have no re-
mittances from home and have to pay
for their education on their own earn
ings.

SENSATIONAL THEFT OF
TWO DOLLAR HAT
ENTERS STORE AND DEcAMPS
WITH HEADPIECE HURRIED
LY WITHOUT PAYING.

Filled to overhowing, not with en-
thusiasm, but with the beverage that
intoxicates, a soldier proceeded to en-,
JOY himself in his peculiar way by
starting a trough house" on Astor
street little after Z o'clock last ev-
ening. His efforts to entertain the
inmates of one of the houses by the
attempt to change the locations of
several Of the objects in the room,
much to the damage of same, being
unappreciated, and such lack Of ap-
probation being about to be shown
by several men who had answered
signals Of distress, he hurriedly made
his exit through one Of the windows
carrying it with him
When he reached the street he was
the possessor of badly cut face but
minus hat. In this condition he
found his way to Bond street with
out being captured. He presented
woeful appearance as he entered
small clothing store on that street
near Tenth and asked for hat. He
was shown the head covering and un-
der pretense of attempting to find
money in his pockets to pay the price
asked edged toward the entrance and
suddenly decamped followed by the
excited proprietor frantieally crying
out catch him." Pursued and pur-
suer turned into Tenth street, headed
for Commercial, the pursued handi-
capped by his condition, and the pur-
suer by his age and excited condition.
Seeing a crowd approaching, attract
ed by the cries, the star of the occa-
sion turned suddenly and darted into
the alley in the rear Of the Flavel
building where he disappeared as if
the earth had swallowed him. Officers
Houghton and Thompson were inn
mediately on the scene and although
they made an exhaustive search un-
der the buildings in the vicinity no
trace Of the man could be found At
late hour last night he had not been
apprehended. The value Of the hat
was 81, but it was evidently needed
in hurry and he got it.

A UNIFORM BILL OF LADING.

CHICAGO, Oct. 8.-The western
railroads have practically decides to
adopt the same uniform bill Of lading
that has been accepted by the east
ern roads. 1t is understood the west
ern classification committee asked
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for authority to adopt the provisions
Of the Eastern bill Of lading on Nov.
l, instead Of the Classification provis-
ions which they have filed.
This action by the western roads
is said to have greatly simplihed the
situation regarding the uniform bill
of lading.
The eastern bill Of lading exacts
ten per cent advance in the regular
rates if the bill of lading be not used.
