.CANTALOUPE GROWERS
 ARE IN THE MARKET
Not Discouraged by Recent Disappoint-
 ment.

Regardless of the fact that there is approximately $1O,O0O due them from the H. Woods commission firm, which may or may not be settled, the local cantaloupe growers refuse to become over discouraged and wish it under stood that they will be in the marke: next year with the same standard grade of melon which has already brought fame and rerOwn to Arizona. The time is nearly here for the sign ing of contracts for next season and it is desired that every commission firm in the United States send a repre- sentative to this place prepared to handle the crop next year, for some concern will in all probability get practically the entire crop of the Mesa section.
 The spirit in which the Mesa canta- lOupe growers are treating their dis appointment is encouraging. It is q we'll known fact that the melon grow CTS have made good money in the past and they are of the opinion that there is no reason why it should not be re- , peated. It is furthermore gratifying to know that they will remain in the business, even though they have re- Ceived a serious setback.

AN ILLUSTRATION OF
 ALFALFA PRODUCT|VENESS
FORTY DOLLARS NET PROFITS ON
 oNE-YEAR-oLD CROP.
Article Is Not for the Purpose of Pro
 noting Get Rich Quick Scheme.

It is not the purpose of this article to promote a get rich quick scheme or to publish a statement which will drive professional men into the ranch ing business, but to simply state an average case of alfalfa productiveness.
 Charles Hoffman, a rancher living south of Mesa, has an eleven-acre tract of alfalfa which was sown last year. However the stand was so poor that the field is considered as a first year crop of alfalfa from the fact that the ground was re-seeded. From the eleven-acre tract MT. Hoffman has taken fifty-five tons of alfalfa which netted him after the expense of baling was paid for an average of S6.75 per ton. Up to the present time the field has netted him at the rate of $33.75 per acre. However, MT. Hoffman has another crop to cut from this same field which in all probability will bring his net proceeds per acre up to $40 for one year. The problem is to figure the rate of interest on an investment of land at s200 per acre.

MONDAY WILL BE
 \ SCHOOL HOLIDAY
All Schools But the Normal Will Be
 Closed.

It has been definitely decided that Monday shall be observed as a hOli- day in the public, the high and the training schools on account of the circus. The day will not be so ob- served at the Normal but Normal students will be permitted to attend the afternoon performance of the show if they so desire It is natur- ally presumed that a good many of them will so desire.
 In this connection, Superintendent Scudder has written Mayor Christy of Phoenix suggesting that on the day of the circus a special effort be made to keep down the dust at the grounds. It will be remembered that shortly following the circus last year. an epidemic of scarlet fever broke out on the south side and it was always the opinion of many here that the epidemic was started at the cir GUS grounds where there were so many children was responsible for this condition. MT. Christy has re- piled that on the occasion of the vis- it of the circus this year. every pos sible precaution will be taken and that a particular effort will be made to have the grounds kept free from dust.

RECORD PRICE FOR MILK
Mesa Industry Which Has Done More to Keep Mon ey in Circulation Than Any Other Enterprise Side Line Successful.

There is probably no better criterion of the substantial growth of a town than on the increase or decrease of the sales of ice for a consecutive term of years. It is of course true that sum mers where the above normal heat has prevailed that a greater amount of ice is used. and vice versa, but where the substantial increase has prevailed as in Mesa the indications are encouraging.
 The Mesa Dairy and Ice company has at least learned the lesson, for with a capacity of seven tons of ice per day when the plant was started they considered their supply sufficient tC last for a term of years. Last year they were compelled to build a large storage room and started in the sum- mer season with a large supply of ice on hand. During the past few months they have been manufacturing their capacity daily, have used up their en- tire stored product and have been compelled to purchase ice from other towns to meet the demand. The de- mand has become so great that the di- rectors were called together Thursday night with the result that plans are being formulated for the installing of a plant with a capacity of eighteen tons per day or an increase of ten tons over the present output.
 In this connection it might be men toned that Mesa butter. which may be found all over the northern part or Mexico. as we'll as the territories of New Mexico and Arizona. 1t is i'm laV,aan1g nIraaANy created for this Mesa product.
 Sometime ago the matter of dispos-
 ing of the skinned milk was present. ed to the directors in the shape of a problem-a problem from the fact that competing creameries were able to use the skinned milk and as result were enabled to take both the cream and milk as the rancher brought it from
 his home. In order to meet the com
 petition and also purchase the skinned milk bunch of hogs were purchased to which was given the skinned milk. The sale of l portion of the bunch of hogs was made a few days ago at the rate of 91s cents per pound. The net proceeds of the in vestment in hogs is not large, but it is sufficient and it has served to enable the manager of the local plant to pay the farmers more for their product than has ever been given in the his tory of the Mesa district.
 The Mesa Dairy and Ice company is cooperative institution and it has probably done more to keep money Tn circulation throughout this section than any other enterprise. It IS owned and practically controlled by the ranchers who have milk to sell and who reap the benefits of the prices
 paid for milk.

THE EXPERIENCE OF
 4 SUMMER WIOOWER
A Little Story of Real Life By An
 Unknown Contributor.

The following contribution will be appreciated by goodly number of Tempe men, who during the summer months, no doubt had experiences similar to those related in the fol- lowing:
 By the recognized law of establish ed usage I am summer widower. and I will tell you how it happened. Well you see my wife went away, to be sure of course she had to go away or I never would have been a wid- over. But that is not the point She did not leave just for the lone wid- owhood. nor yet just to make a wid- over of me; but, for needed rest she left me all alone. And when she was gone, and all the good things eaten, which she had left for me. Then, oh, Then came the tug of war, for then you see I had to cook. but of course I can cook. Whoever yet saw a married man who could not cook. or teach his wife the culin- ary art Well l just sailed in and began cooking pancakes. O yes, can cook pancakes, and l had hot pancakes for breakfast, and cold pan cakes for dinner and pancakes cold for supper, day after day. I had pan cakes Pancakes good and pancakes bad; Pancakes. that would make a good
 man sad
 The intelligent reader will take notice that this is poetry.
 Then I thought I would have a slr. ,In, I hn- gan to make gems. Yes, can make gems.
 O the beautiful, beautiful gems; And my dear sir. 'tis surely true, 'Distance lends entertainment to the view"
 Then one morning I thought of my wife This you may think strange but I did. I really did and l thought of her biscuits too. of which so often I had taken delight.
 And I wanted biscuits. the feeling grew, until biscuits I made and bis cults I had O yes. I can make bis cults, and when they were all done and breakfast was ready, I found by actual count I had thirty biscuits all right enough, but they neither looked nor tasted as if they were much related to my wife's biscuits.
 And then I began to want company A very hungry tramp would have been such a welcome guest, but alas not the shadow of a tramp and to my relief. and so l had biscuit picnic.
 Biscuits hot, and biscuits cold; Biscuits new, and biscuits old;
 Biscuits large and biscuits small; Biscuits for one and that's alk (Poetry again MT Editor)
 And now l have. made up my mind that when my wife leaves home again, she will leave no summer wid- over behind, for whither she goeth I will go, and where she stoppeth there will I stop. and when she re- turneth home, I too will return, and what she cooketh, that will I eat and grumble never more. But Mir. Editor I charge you that you do not tell my wife who wrote this, for you know that man some times forgets. $. w.

Tbe Important
 Problem

confronting anyone in need of laxa- tive is not a question of a single ac- tion only, but of permanently bene- ficial effects, which will follow proper efforts to live in a healthful way, with the assistance of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, whenever it is re- quired, as it cleanses the system gently yet promptly. without irritation and will therefore always have the preference of all who wish the best of family laxatives.
 The combination has the approval of physicians because it is known to be truly beneficial, and because it has given satisfaction to the millions of well-informed families who have used it for many years past.
 To get it's beneficial effects, always buy the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only.

TEMPE DEPARTMENT
THE CASE CONTINUED
 UNTIL NEXT WEEK
It Will Also Be Taken Up By the
 United States Court.

It was rather expected that some disposition of the flour stealing case, on a charge of which Pauline Rebas and Saparino Oelon have been held in jail most of the week. would be made yesterday. Their hearing was set for half past ten and District Attorney Bullard was present to conduct the prosecution.
 After looking into the matter though, the district attorney came to the conclusion that it was a case for the United States court and he ac- cord.ngly suggested that the case he continued until today and that in the meantime, he would see that the su- perintendent of the Arizona Eastern railroad company would swear out warrants against the two men before the United States court commissioner. charging them with breaking the seal of a car. Some one called the at tentiOn of the court t0 tho fact that Monday is circus day and Mir. Bullard suggested that in view of that fact, the case be extended until Tuesday with the consent of the attorney for the defendants. MT. Goodwin, the at torney. was willing and the case was accordingly continued until four o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
 Rebas and Oelon were committed to the county jail for safe keeping until the hour of their trial next Tuesday A third Mexican, who has been held most of this week as a witness was discarged The third man of the trio who is implicated in the case and who broke jail, is still at liberty.

Hill. has been to him all that was ever claimed for it, but there is one particular phase of the seasons in Arizona that he IS unable tC. understand. He has been advised that there are rainy seasons in this valley and furthermore that we are m the midst of the rainy season. He has failed to perceive any great amount or precipitation in the vicinity o1 Granite Reef and furthermore the stage of the river at that place has also failed to reveal any alarming floods in the mountains of the water shed supplying the Salt river.
