THE WATERMELON SEASON
CLOSE AT HAND

In the midst Of reflections on such
woodworking matters as the heavy
weight championship at Reno, the Wis
dom of the safe and sane Fourth. the
intervention of Roosevelt in New York
politics, and the latest denial of Secre-
tary BaIlinger that ne intends to re-
sign, it Is with deep satisfaction one
turns TO the announcement that the
watermelon season Is close at hand.
It was a long. cold spring. and warm
weather was late in arriving SUM
mer has slipped far along before one
has realized II. The watermelon has
been bUsily growing, It appears, and
it VIII not be long now until the yes
sells begin moving north in whole fleets
and fotillas from North Carolina and
southern Virginia The Georgia water
melon has already made its appearance
on the scene and Is lying about, cool
and inviting, in the stalls and stores.
tempting youth and old age alike 10
brave the dangers that may Turk in It
and to defy any treacherous bacilIi
tnat may abide in the red depths Of
its core.
Life may have its trials and its
tribuIations, but what are these when
one realizes that that time OF the
year Is at hand when he can 90 out
and bury al his petty griefs and
vexations by sinking his face deep into
tie recesses OF a huge section Of water
meIon2 We all have our troubles
Even the care-fTee small boy at times
has his cross 70 bear. But what are
the stains OF a few tears on youth
full face when the whole world can be
shut out from view in the luscious con-
caves Of the watermelon rind, and all
else forgotten2
By tradition and the teachings Of
actual experience, we are prepared to
assert here and now that there never
was and never VIII be, either in the
gardens Of gods or men, any fruit more
tootbsome than those noble and aristo-
cratic specimens Of watermelon that
have their habitat IN the region lying
between Georgia on the south and the
Chesapeake region on the north And
It Is a great consolation TO know that
all the dealers agree that this Is going
to be a big watermelon season, with
melons 50 cheap and plentiful that
everyone can eat all he wants
