Glendale cantalOupes are the finest in the world. according to J. S. Crutchfield. senior member of the Pittsburg commission house of Crutchfield & wooIfolk, who spoke to the Glendale growers yesterday.

Floss, who, dur ing the day. also drove them over a large portion of the valley. particu larly through the Glendale cantaloupe growing district.
 This is MT. Crutchfields first visit to the Salt River valley. His firm has handled Glendale cantaloupes for several years and he decided that dur ing a tour of the west, which he had planned for this winter. he would visit the place from which those fine melons came.
 Nearly all the Glendale growers were on hand yesterday afternoon to meet MT. Crutchfield and hear what he had to say about the cantalcupe IL haS tAAN AA- 6N'A the Glendale Cantaloupe Growers Association ever had. also the most enthusiastic. The words of MT. Crutchfield instilled greater confi- dence into the farmers. who learned that the demand for their melons is even more insistent than they had be- lieved.
 MT Crutchfield stated that in all his long years of experience he had never run across better cantaloupes than are grown right around Glen dale. In flavor. size and every other way. Glendale cantaloupes are the best. He advised the growers to pay increased attention to this crop.
 MT. Cadwallader. the old friend of the cantaloupe men, also spoke to them. mainly about methods of plant ing and the outlook for the season which he declared to be most excel lent
 This is the last place Mir. and Mrs Crutchfield will visit on their tour They leave today and go direct to Pittsburg Before coming to Phoenix they passed through the Imperial val lev and several other cantaloupt growing districts in California.

Warming the EGGS.

There was once an old lady In
Scotland who kept few hens, AS
she lived close to the house in which
a church minister lived, he asked her
to send him two new-laid eggs every
morning, and he would pay her for
them.
So the old lady sent her girl to the
minister's house every morning with
two eggs, and the minister's servant
always thought the eggs were newly
laid because they felt quite warm. as
# they had just been taken from the
hens nest.
But one day the eggs were cold, so
the servant asked: Are the eggs
fresh today. Janey? They do not
seem warm
The simple girl looked at the maid
and then said: "Ou, ay, they're quite
fresh. only my mother could not get
the cat to sit on them this morning.

town so he thought he would like to
get on the board ofsupervisors and see
how things worked. OF course John
Klieber didn't say Yes Neither
did Charlie Goldback care to retire to
private life. So the battle then began.
At the caucus, the first round, Fred
rick and Cavanaugh We're defeated 10y
a small margin of , and 10 votes re-
spectiyely. Boldt lost to Goldback in
drawing lots, the vote being tie.
