In my own right"
"Well," said his father, yes,
that's fair. Now, tell you what I'll
do, my boy. Plant them in that
three-acre lot and convince me,
and If you make them pay Wen
practice on the potatoes"
Philip was busily engaged with
his lot during the next week. He
did not hesitate to call in his
fathers assistance with the
planting.
you're sure I amt injuring
them, Philip" asked the elder
man. You're sure my hands
amt got no bugs or microbes?"
The arrival of the bill for fer
tilizer was a surprise.
Seems to me, Phil, you'll hev
to raise melons the size of
pumpkins to win out" said the
elder. But Philip kept his own
counsel. And sure enough, in time
"a multitude of green sprouts ap-
peared.
"They certainly do look -four
ishing," admitted Branscombe.
But, say, Phil. I thought melons
grew on vines. D'you think them
sprouts is going to turn into
vines? Seem kind of stiff to me.
I guess you'll hev to bend them.
i tell you what it is. my boy. It's
them new fertilizers. You've
forced them so strong you're going
to raise giant melons on trees"
They grew taller as the days
passed, aspiring to the sky, shun-
ming the inviting bosom of the
earth. And by the end of the
third week it became obvious
that whatever they were, they GER
tainly were not melons of the usu-
al variety.
"Well, l guess you've got me
beaten, dad" the. boy confessed at
last, swallowing his chagrin.
"Shall / go back to school or stay
with you and work off that debt
for the fertilizer?".
Branscombe laid his hand on
his sons shoulder.
"Philip," he said, "I've been
doing some thinking, too. You
see. when 1 noticed how interest
ed you got in your work, figured
out that there might be some
thing after all in what you said
about old-fashioned ways. I've
generally found that there's some
germ OF truth In the most fool
Only, you didn't put
It to me Just right. 80 II you like
to stay here with me we'll call
that bill square and try to ar
range q working compromise by
putting our heads together"
II wish I knew why they didn't
come up right, though c-ied his
son.
''I'1l tell you, Phil" said the
old man. Next timc you want to
grow watermelons, don't plant
sunflowers."

DDS and who has made a success by
attending strictly to his own bust
ness.
For a man who has been engaged
in his present business in Fort Lee
for only eleven years, Mr. Cella's
success has been unusual. While his
father had been a Fort Lee citizen
for many years, and he himself has
been around the town all of his life,
or to be exact, for twenty-eight years,
he has made rapid strides. The pres
ent location of Cella's Hall Cor no
ted dates back nine years, and it
has been enlarged several times. He
is at present contemplating improve
ments which will make it one Of the
most complete places in the country
The enlarged scope of the automo-
bile has greatly aided Cella's.
Mr.. Celia is a prominent member
of a number of secret organizations,
including the Masons, Elks, Forest
ers and Red Man. He has been &C
lively engaged in politics for a num-
Der of years, has served two terms
as councilman in Fort Lee, and was
president of the Board for three and
a half years At the last election he
was chosen member of the Board
of Freeholders for Bergen County.
He is known as a politician of astute
ideas, and has, by his clean work,
been enabled to have his positions
on public matters given proper atten-
ton
