GETS $4,000 ON MELON CROP

Ranoher Takes Bigger Chances
This Season.

Clifton. CoIo.-To clean up neat
little fortune of approximately $4,000
as a result of a couple of months
work was the experience of j, b.
Jobes. q rancher west of town. VINO
decided that there was money in can
+aloupes despite his own experience
to the contrary.
Jobes. who was a practiclng physf
clan back in Pennsylvania, came to
tine Grand valley to regain his health,
He bought a young apple orchard and
decided that he would pay his ex-
nenses by growing catalogues among
the trees.
Doctor Jobes ran up against a bad
wear. however, and last season not
only didn't make a profit, but for some
of his cantaloupes did not receive
enough to pay for the crates. Instead
however. of blaming the melons or the
valley or a hundred and one other
things he decided that the only diff
fculty with his returns was the way
that they we're marketed. Conse'
nuently he decided to market his own
melons and anyone else's who would
trust him with them.

Woman Served six Years in PriS-

While lncarcerated Spouse Failed to
Visit and She Believed He Was

Arrested.

PHILADELPHIA .-Doserted, she says,
by her husband after he had been ac-
quilted of the charge OF setting fire
to the Point Chautauqua hotel in
Lake Chautauqua n. Y, while she
served six years in prison, Mrs. Nora
Allen turned on him in court here
and exclaimed:
At the trial l kept my mouth shut
to save your neck. I went to prison
and you went free. | gave you all but
$3.50 OF the $1,000 l received for set
ting the fire"
Mrs. Allen had brought her hus-
band to court on a warrant charging
him with desertion. having taken this
action only after she had sought him
for more than year, only to be re-
jected when she finally found him.
In the entire time she was in prison,
she said, her thoughts turned con-
stantly toward her husband, although
she received no word from him. With
tear-iilied eyes she said in Magistrate
Germans court that sometimes while
in prison she thought her husband
must be dead. at others he was ILL.,
Numerous were the excuses she in
vented in her own mind to account for
failure to hear from him.
When she was released little more
than year ago she started out to
search for her husband, intending, she
said, to aid him if he was in trouble.
Tracing him to Philadelphia. she
learned he had been living in No. 17O6
Sumner street, but had been taken to
the Medico- Chirurgical hospital for
treatment. Mrs Allen visited the hos
pital and sent word to her husband
that she wanted to see him.

Character in "Rasselas" Said Tha
Aviator Would Be Next Step
After Swimming.

Chicago.-Among the prophecies OF
conquest of the air, the account OF an
inventors faith that men could learn
to fly since they have learned to
swim, as found in Johnson's "Rasse-
las" is interesting. The mechanic
says:
Il have been long of opinion that
instead Of the tardy conveyance OF
ships and chariots, man might use the
swifter migration of wings; that the
fields of air are open to knowledge
and that only ignorance and idleness
need crawl upon the ground"
This hint rekindled the princes de-
sire of passing the mountains; having
seen what the machinist had already
performed, he was willing to fancy
that he could do more. i am
afraid" said he to the artist, that
your Imagination prevails over your

er what you wish. than what you

trance, that although there was no
Italian loss the flOtilla never got much
farther. and that Turkish gunners on
shore if they struck anything must
have hit their own destroyers. In his
article Signor Zoli says:
Commander Milo said that when
he reached the second cable under the
Baikouch Tepe battery, the Spica
stopped, and that this stop permitted
him to observe the water space be-
yond the narrows. By looking at the
plan it will be seen that this water
space is the Bay of Chanak. From
this point the commander watched the
firing from the Hamazieh battery, and
considered it impossible TO pass the
zone of action commanded by this bat
terry without sacrificing all the squad
ron, and therefore gave the order to
return Therefore the truth is that
the Italian torpedo boats did not pass
beyond the Kilid 3ahr- Chanak line
In the report of Commander Milo
there is one certainly involuntary in
exactitude-his persuasion that he
saw the Turkish fleet and that he was
! fired on by it, If he did not pass the
Kilid Bahr-Chanak line, he could not
have seen the Turkish feet anchored
! in the Bay of Niagara. and most GER
| tainly he could not have been fired on
! by it. The Turkish feet did not fire
single cannon.
But it is clear that Commander
Milo was msled by the numerous
steamships and by two or three Tur-
kish torpedo boats anchored in the
Bay of Chanak; it was probably these
vessels that, hidden in the darkness
| of the night and the shadows of the
numerous searchlights were mistaken
| for the opposing fleet, and he could
easily have mistaken for the guns OF
this fleet the guns fired from Hama
zieh and Chanak Kalessi.
There is nothing strange or mad
MISSILE in this explanation. given the
conditions of time and the nervous
tension produced on all. It is even
more possible when we think that a
! high parsonage of the ministry of ma
rine' furnished one of the most i'm
portant newspapers with sketch map
of the raid in which the Bay OF
Chauak was confounded with Magyar,
placing Cbanak on the other side OF
the narrows and fixing the anchorage
of the Turkish fleet exactly in this
! Bay Of Chanak where Commander
Milo thought he saw them.

New LIGHT Thrown on the Famous
Raid of italian War Vessels
on Turkish Forts.

Rome.-Corrado Zoli, the war cor

Of July 1919, by six Italian torpedo
boats, of which, according to Turkish
reports. three were, and according to
Italian reports. not only was none
sunk. but the flotilla actually engaged
the Turkish fleet beyond Kilid Bahr-
