CREIGHTON.

This has been a busy week with the busy putting up field sheds and mailing together hundreds of shipping crates. A few melons have been marketed and next week will see the crop maturing very fast, A good picking is antici- pated for the first crop. and from re- ports made by the agent of the com mission house which handles the mel ons good prices are looked for. Alto gether the growers are very optimistic and it is perhaps as well that another year is to intervene before another planting season else this whole district would be planted to melons.
 In these days when our valley Is be- ing cut up into small farms a whole section of grain is something of a rarity. Butts and Mondy have just finished heading a section owned by them on the east side of our district largest yields per acre of the season. One piece of barley in particular is the finest we have seen anywhere and should make twenty-five sacks an acre.
 Marion Mathers made the rounds of his bee yards yesterday. He says the bees are just beginning to work on the alfalfa blooms and that they are storing honey very rapidly. In one yard he found two swarms hanging on trees. one which apparently had concluded not to use the old hives during this hot summer but had gone to work and built several large honey combs in the branches of the pear tree He says that while he believes in the bees living out of doors on the flowers, most of the time yet the proper place for storing honey is in his hives.
 We are glad to learn that Miss Geor- gie Ellerick continues to improve and We hope that she may soon be restored to her usual health
 J. D. Bivins and family leave for the coast today. MT. Bivins says it is only for the summer as Arizona is the only place for him.

We would urge every proper ty holder living in this district to be present at this meeting.
 w. P. Padget is building an arbor around his house. MT. Padget is also having his colt broken to drive and now he has an advertisement in The Republican for buggy. We wonder if he has an eye on one of our bachel- or girls?
 The contractors have completed the house erected for Frank Baum. This is not only one of the prettiest little houses around here but occupies one of the loveliest spots in the neighbor- hood, being set in a grove of oranges. almonds, figs and various other trees.

 Messrs. Shreck and Osmundson have had wells drilled on both their upper and lower ranches.
 The click and bang of the well drill is heard on farms. Four are being put down on section twelve of the Wilson district. The hammer and saw are also heard-a sign of i'm provement. Some of the farmers are getting quite busy with the melon crop. Teams are seen constantly going to and fro hunting melons. One small 10-acre ranch reported to have produced 1000 melons in one day.
 The Farmers Telephone line will be completed for the first five miles by Saturday. so the hello girls can be with you from tine Wilson dis trict. That is one step Tn the proper direction.

 w. F. Parry took quite a novelty to the board of trade in the shape of a twin canteloupe or two cantaloupes growing on the same stem. Such a one has never before been seen even by the oldest growers.
 If anyone would wish to see very pretty little garden he should look at Mrs. Conneily's-all the fruit of her own labor. Op less than a quar- ter of an acre are peas, beans, corn, tomatoes. cucumbers.- squash, beets and radishes sufficient for one fam fly and plenty to- spare. She has beans of the Kentucky Wonder vari- ety that by actual measurement are eleven inches long. But Messrs. Pritchert and woodring excel in the raising of sweet-corn, as those fav- ored ones who have been permitted to sample it cano. testify. Perhaps that strip of landb near the river is adapted to the raising of sweet-corn or perhaps the gentlemen mentioned know how.

In riding along the highway I no.

farmer was cutting weeds outside his
gate, I asked:
"Well, uncle, I suppose you will go

piled, accompanied by several shakes
of his head.

their regular drills with surprising pro-
tciency.
Army officers are already discussing
the pr~acticability OF the plan. The
most reasonable objection urged is the
question of being able to mount nurses
where every available horse is needed
for fighting and transport work. Most
of the officers admit that h women
would be Invaluable If they could be
equipped and so maintained.
Admittedly it would be out of the
question to have such a mounted nurse

pulled herself together and said In a
very matter-of-fact tone:
You want my advice about her?
Well, then you will have to tell me
something about her; her disposition,
her hair, her eyes-everything, you
know"
The minister contemplated her with
a fatuous expression.
"Why-as to her disposition" he re-
piled earnestly, that is all that could
be desired-perfect. Her eyes," he
scrutlnized her with su%rreptitious anx-
iety. cher eyes are sp~lendidly, wona-
rously brown" He paused. Viola
listened movelessly. "Her hair is
brown. too-and-most beautiful"
A queer silence followed his words.
When Viola looked up she was pale,
but valiant, and she seemed all at once
thousands Of miles away.
"She must be very, very lovely

know herr"
The minister looked somewhat in
scrutabIe as he made reply:
Il am not sure-perhaps you do not"
She returned his gaze with absent
eyes.
-"Well?" he prompted with an enig-
matte smile.

"It's this way" he pursued eagerly,

off, keeping his hands locked to the
limbs on which they were resting.
'The only thing" remarked Viola
with sage eyes and a sinking heart, 'is
to tell her that truth and get it over
quick" She caught her breath. "May-
be you have told herr" she suggested
tentatively.

ern that the body was loaded In the
fate defying way.
But the railroad man Is not alone
In his belief In omens and charms. Inc
passenger also has n pet lot OF super
stitions that defy logic and the persua-
sion Of common sense. The belief that
the wearing Of a white flower or a WHITE
ribbon protects travellers from accldene
Is fairly widespread. Some believe that
burning coffee just before leaving on a
Journey is better than an accident pol
icy, and in certain sections OF the Souh
some very pious people Will not unoer-
take a railroad trip without nrst Tying
a copy Of the sixteenth psalm under the
left armpIt. Putting a wlsp Of straw
In the bottom of the trunk Is believed
not only to protect the baggage from
loss, but also insure the safety or the
owner. Women sometimes pack their
stockings In the trunk in n mystic cir
Gle, as n protection from accldeht-
There is a superstition that 1T Is I'M
lucky to lock the trunk before 1t leaves
the house, and with moro apparent rea-
son, it is particularly portentous If the
trunk lid falls upon you while you are
packing.
If q traveller loses his hat out Of a
car window there is compensation In
the knowledge that it means good news
from home. If n passenger happens to
pass a derailed or wrecked locomotive,
It is the sign that he soon Is to come
into possession Of hidden wealth. To
see a crow feeding IN a carcass Is an
other lucky omen for a traveller.
If dust blows In a persons eye while
on his way to catch a train 1t Is a sign
Of accident On he trip. 1t is consld-
cred an ominous encounter for a person
hurrying to a train to meet a spectacle
wearing negro. 1t Is also unlucky for
a traveller to cut his finger nails just
before starting on a journey; disgrace
Will overtake him, and If a trayeler
leaves home in a carriage for the station
it Is simply inviting disaster for his
family or friends to watch him out OF
sight. To insure the safe return OF a
nervous traveller 1t is only necessary
to tie an Irish knot in his handker-
chief, but If he loses the knotted piece
Of linen he had better end his misery
by immediate suicide.
