A Good Tune

In speaking Of the cantaloupe crop
this season the Rocky Ford Tribune
gives some startling figures. While
the season for shipping does not ex-
tend over very large period Of time
1t makes things hum for while.
Just listen to this;
They came from every part Of the
valley, FASTENED by the extreme hot
days and equally hot nights, also a
scarcity of water for irrigation pur.
poses, and for the week beginning
August 18th, and ending August oath,
a total OF 400 cars of cantaloupss, an
average of over 10 cars daily, were
shipped to eastern markets. This is
the largest total weekly shipment
since the introduction of cantaloupes
to this section OF the early 90's, and is
a result of the premature ripening OF
the fruit.-Fowler Advertiser.

Duty of Business Man

No business man in any town should
allow a newspaper published in his
town to go without his name and
business being mentioned somewhere
10 its columns. This applies to all
kinds OF business-general stores, dry
goods, groceries, furniture establish
ments, merchants, professional men,
in fact> all classes of business men.
This does not mean that you should
have a whole, half or even quarter
page 10 every issue of the paper A
stranger picking up newspaper
should be able to tell just what kind
of merchants the town has by a glance
at the advestising. The man who
does not advertise his business does an
injustice to himself and his town.
