Woodring, John Pitchard and Richard Osmundsen. Mir Brewster was made president of the association and MT. Osmundsen was made secretary and treasurer The association is quite pleased with the result of it's organized work and expects to do a great deal better next year. At yesterdays meet ing the sentiment was general that the increase of it's membership is desirable and every melon grower in this locality who has not yet affiliated, and new corners especially, who expect to en- gage in raising melons. are invited to join the association. They may do so by communicating with or calling upon either the president or secretary.
 TO PLANT A TREE-Secretary Cowgirl of the board of trade yester day forwarded to Solomon Close of Stamford, Conn, a package of Salt river valley soil, Glendale loess. to be used in giving the right sort of nourishment to tree shortly to be planted by the Stamford high school, and later on to become as notable as the apple tree that grew on the grave of Roger Williams It is the purpose of the high school to secure a pack age of earth from some fertile spot in each state in the union, this earth to be used in filling the hole eXca- vated for the planting of the tree. So far as known here there is no eX- perimental purpose behind the plant ing. winch IS merely the result of a sentimental idea. However. MT. Cow will took occasion to inform Mir. Close that Glendale loess is capable of producing 30 per cent of its weight in vegetable matter. this being dem onstrated by chemical anaylsis. If the Arizona consignment happens to fall in the right place the Stamford tree will live in luxury for a while at least.
 THE cITRANGE TREE-Some months ago the facts were printed of correspondence between Delegate Mark Smith and Secretary Cowgirl of the board of trade concerning a new fruit with which the agricultural department has been experimenting. It is called the "citrange" and is a cross between an orange and lem on, believed to possess exceptional merit for certain purposes. Mir. Smith said that later the the department would place a quantity of the new trees at his disposal and he would like the board to see that they were placed in good hands. on assurance of which he would have them for warded number of local horticul- turists promptly made application. Now comes a letter from the depart ment to the board of trade saying that the supply is very limited and the trees very valuable. It can only spare one tree for Arizopa, and that one only on condition that the man who receives it shall make a report upon it whenever he is called upon to do so. As there were so many wanting these trees MT Cowgirl de- cided that the proper person to re- ceive it would be Geo. H. Smith, su- perintendent of the capitol grounds. Being an experienced gardener and horticulturist he can give it the best care in the world at the capitol grounds, where all may watch its growth and development, and he is also highly competent to make the reports desired, Which he has agreed to do.

Pimples on the face of a child re-
 moved by Stuart's Calcium Waters
 The organs of the child all become larger. The skin begins to grow hair the glands and cells of the skin ap- parently become stronger and larger Impurities occur in the system and pOisons enter the blood and are thrown off usually from the face in the form of pimples.
 Mothers should zealously guard the child against serious blood impurity at this time. Our grandmothers gave sarsapariIla, sassafras root, cream of tartar and sulphur every spring. These simple remedies did a good work, but science has discovered the most powerful and beneficial blood purifier to be Calcium Sulphide.
 Stuart's Calcium Waters are pre- pared aftef the most modern method of conveying the full strength of Cal cium Sulphide to the blood They lose none of it through evaporation and chemical change like most calci- Um sulphide remedies sold today. Stu arts Calcium Waters also contain Quassia, Golden Seal and Eucalyptus, all known purifiers of great power. Combined with these ingredients is a pure vegetable alterative and laxative which, when the other ingredients clear the blood from poisons and de- cay, throw off this impure matter from the system through the bowels and in a natural easy manner.
 Stuart's Calcium Waters should be in every household and used by the parent for the benefit of the child They are harmless. promote normal appetite and digestion, beautify the skin and enrich the blood so neces- sary to the rapid growth of the child.
 Co to your druggist. Ask his opin- ion of Calcium Sulphide as the Stu art process presents it to the blood He will sell you a package for 50 cents, or send us your name and ad- dress and we will send you a trial package by mail free. Address F. A. Stuart Co. 175 Stuadt Bldg. Mar shall Mich.

The Number Fourteen In France.

SO far as France is concerned, it Is
the number fourteen that has played
conspicuous and generally portentous
part in her history. On May IA, 1854,
the Rue de la Ferronnerie was enlarged
by order of Henri H., and four times
fourteen years later Henri ". was as.
sassinated there by Ravaillac-namel
on May II, 1910. Henri had lived four
times fourteen years, fourteen weeks
and four times fourteen days.. e., fif.
ty-six years and five months. Then
Henrfs son, Louis XIII., died May IA,
1913 the same day and month as his
fathers. And 1913 added together
equals fourteen, just as 1868 Ghe year
of the birth of Henri IVD equals four
teen. Louis XIV ascended the throne
1G43, which added together equals
fourteen and similarly the year of hi
death 0715) equals.

Coincid dence.

The strange story told by a default
ing debtor of his being recognized after
he had been for six years trying to
live down the past is not so strange a
story as one which came within the
ken of Professor Jowett. 4 good man
went wrong, was caught and sentenced
at Liverpool to Imprisonment. After
the sinner had served his term Jowett
and others helped him, and he obtained
colonial editorship where his past
was unknown. He did well; was a
new man. One day a tornado swept
off the roof Of his office. Under the
roof was discovered a batch of old
English papers which had been placed
there and forgotten after the mail had
brought them. He set members of his
staff to work to get out of the derelicts
anything which might be interesting
enough TO print. The first thing that
they found was a full report of the
trial and conviction of the man him.

UnintentionaI Sabbath sreakina.

In the early days of New England It
was the custom 10 keep the Sabbath
from sundown Saturday night until
the same hour on Sunday. That this
practice was attended by pitfalls is
shown by an incident told in "The Pa
pers of the Connecticut Valley IIistor-
ical Society"
There lived in Ryefield a thrifty
dame, an enterpriSing. driving woman
and a notable housewife The good wo-
man was not willing to lose Sunday
evenings out of her catalogue of house
work but she was pious withal and
strictly kept the day to the sunset
limit. AS soon as the sun was fairly
below the horizon she would begin her
washing and get her clothes ready for
drying bright and early on Monday
morning.
One cloudy Sunday she, supposing
the day was ended, changed her Sun
day gown, rolled up her sleeves and
went to work AS she was scrubbing
away in the kitchen, her face toward
the west window, the clouds suddenly
broke. and the great round sun shone
in full on the poor Sabbath breaker at
work. She gave one cry of amazement
and horror and fed the kitchen.
After that sinful day she never be
gan her work on Sunday evening.

Pants and Trousers,

Everybody talks we'll when he talks
in the way he likes, the way he can't
help, the way he never thinks of. The
rest is effort and pretense. The man
who says trousers" because he likes
to say it and the man who says pants"
because he likes to say it are both
good fellows with whom a frank soul
could fraterniZe but the man who says
trousers when he wants to say
pants is Il craven and trucker,
equally hateful TO honest culture and
wholesome ignorance. He belongs in
the same sordid category with the man
who wears tight shoes and high col
lars that are Il torment to the flesh,
who eats olives that he doesn't relish
and drinks uncongenial clarets in iml-
tation of his gentcel neighbor in the

From evcN'y part of Europe ants are

they wait until you hang your clothes

Book Evolution,

Books" have progressed from the
days when they were only wooden rods
or bits of bark. For the derivation
which connects "book" directly with
beech" both having been "boc" in
Anglo-SaXOn, is the favorite one.
"Buchstaben," the German word for
letters of the alphabet, means literally
beech slaves" Many book words go
back to such vegetable origin. The
Latin 'liber," a book, whence comes
our library" was properly the inner
bark or rind of a tree especially of
papyrus. The Greek "biblOn," whence
Bible" and "bibliophile." meant much
the same thing. \ "codex" was
block of wood, and leaf is obvious.

And somehow, although the young
man knew that he ought to be happy
over the possession of the girl, he
couldn't help scowling and specializing
