THE ISLE OF TABOGA

Prose"

A flock of little white boats, each
with a single oarsman, puts out from
the shore to meet you like flock of
gulls as your little steamer drops an
chor IN a bay of truly Mediterranean
hue. To the travelled visitor the scene
is irresistibly reminiscent of some lit
tie port of Southern Italy. But from
the sea one looks upon a towering hill,
hare toward the summit. closely COW
cred lower down by mango, wild fig
and eeiba trees, bordered just above
the red roofs of the little town by q
fringe of the graceful cocoanut palms.
Then come the houses, row below row,
until they descend to the curving
beach, where the fishing boats are

and lovely made up in shepherdess
style. The combination of pannier
skirt Of lowered net opening up the
front over a lowered pettfcoat of
cream lace, the peasant bodice of the
net over guimpe of the lace with ruff
fled elbow sleeves is piquant.
Flesh colored hose with velvet
pumps, narrow black velvet ribbon
tied around either bare wrist and a
rose trimmed leghorn hat of shep-
herdess shape held under the chin
with a black velvet ribbon completes
an enchanting ensemble.
Leghorn hats by the way are high
in favor this summer either in fioppy
garden hat shapes or the chic tilted
handeau models. All are, of course,
lowered trimmed that do not run to
fruit. Wheat. combined with lowered
is considered very smart.
Now that the milliners are bring
ing IN the sheaves as hat decorations
it probably will not go against the
grain to adapt the best brands of
breakfast foods for chapeau garnish-
ment in the near future.
Another freak Fashion that has
gone to my lady's head for evening
wear is length of pastel tinted tulle
tied over her eyes like bandage
and knotted behind in a fluffy chou.
Perhaps this fad may have been
launched with the good Samaritan in
tention of acting like binders to pre-
vent :. too ardent follower of Fashions
whimseys from seeing herself as 9TH
ers see her. No doubt many would
shy at their own reflection could they
once glimpse it through unveiled eyes.
From hats and head dress to para
soils is but one step higher. Fashion
has come out flatly with the decree
that the really smart parasols must
all be on the level this summer. They
are flat as their japanese prototypes,
many ribbed and edged in gay bobbinss
balls fringes and tassels of silk and
beads, ruchings of silk and ostrich fea-
theirs. Many Of the more frivolous are
entirely cascaded in tiny ruffles pre-
ferably of chiffon and all are as bril-
liant of hue as modern dyers can de-
wise. The poor naked eye is bound
to be as dazzled by the glaring raise
of new parasol as by the glarine
rays of old Sol.

Taboga once shared in the prosper

ioyed the honor of having entertained
for few days Sir Henry Morgan,
whom England made baronet and d
colonial governor by way of reward
for his exploits. Taboga must have
treated him well, for not only did he
forbear to sack the town, but so deep

Just now the wine and wassail OF
Taboga is limited to about six grOg-

The willy summer maiden
Has her weapons right at hand
To snare the unsuspecting male
A golden fish to land.
For all her dainty summer frocks
Are frilled and flounced with net,
Within whose mesh she hopes to catch
An only son-fsh yet.
New York, June 2.-To be natty this
summer you must be netty. This Is
the net result of the present demand
of the mode for ruffles and flounces.
They must be constructed of soft
filmy fabrics to escape being bulky.
Consequently along with organdie and
Paris muslin, the all-over-net dress
holds the center of the summer sar-
torial stage.
One of the prettiest models in the
net is reversion to midVictorian
days with the skirt simply charm
ing series of six ruffles from the
round baby waist down to the ankles.
The waist is a loose blouse with set
in sleeves ending in a froth of three
ruffles at the elbow. The open throat
is finished with a narrow ruffle which
meets at the bust line and continues
in double file down to the waist-coat-
girdle of soft rose taffeta. All the
ruffles are edged in rose embroidered
scollops and the whole creation con-
verts it's wearer into veritable but
terfiy in the net.
Another effective frock of simple
lines has a new long tunic of pleated
net over an underskirt of net which
is also pleated and caught just above
the knees with a crush sash of soft
satin tied with a four looped bow in
front. The crush girdle is of the same
soft satin and the waist is also pleat-
ed and untrimmed with a V-shaped
low neck and tiny short sleeves that
end abruptly, midway. of the shoulder,
and elbow with a wee frill Of the net.
This is net, but not guady!
These net frocks are really prettiest
in white but in soft shades of maize,
blue, pink, lavender, and sea-green
they ere very desirable. The fowered
net with tiny nose-gays or pink rose
buds scattered over a white, blue,
flesh, or maize ground is very quaint

washing, one wonders if the sole in
Gustry of the Tabogans is playing bill
! lizards. Some of the boats at anchor
or drawn up on the beach attest to
some prosperity amongst them that
/ so down to the sea in ships. One
that / saw was rugged with fore
and aft sail and jigger was hewn out
of a single log like a river cayuco
and lad beam exceeding four feet.
Before many of the houses were lines
hung with long strips of fish hang
ing out to dry, for it is curious
property of this atmosphere that,
despite its humidity, it will cure ami
NAL tissues, both fish and flesh, quick
ly and without taint.
Agriculture in Taboga is limited to
the culture of the pineapple, and the
local variety is so highly esteemed in
the Panama markets that some meas
ure IF prosperity might attend the
Tabogans would they but undertake
the raising of pines Systematically and
extensively. But not they. Their
town was founded in 1549, when, at
the Instance of Las Casas, the king
Of Spain gave freedom to all Indian
slaves. Taboga was set apart as
residence for certain part of these
freedmen. Now, what did the freedom
from slavery mean but freedom from
work? This view was probably held
in the sixteenth century ana certainly
obtains in. Taboga today, hav ng been
enhanced no doubt by the li5ela. mix
ture of negro blood with that of the
native Indians. If the pineapples
grow without too much attention, well
and good They will be so Il and the
grog shops will know that rea, mon.
cy has come into the town. But as
for seriously extending the business
well, that is thing of for long,
long time and the thought has not
yet ,ipened.
As to the part of Taboga in the
economy of the canal work we have
there a sanitarium inherited from the
French, and used as place of con-
vale 5cence for almost recovered pa
tients from the hospitals of the zone.
After breathing the clear, soft air,
glancing at the comfortable quarters
and enjoying to the fullest lunch
costing 80 cents that would put Broad
ways best to shame, and make the eX
penslve and ill-ordered Tivoli dining
room seem like "beanery" in COM
parison, we could we'll understand why
every employee with thirty days sick
leave to his credit gets just such a
slight ailment as needs rest at Ia
bopa for its cure.

CALEXICO MAKES SHIPMENT
OF VARIOUS MELONS

Calexico Chronicle: The first car
load of watermelons to be shipped
from Calexico this season left here
yesterday morning, and it was des-
tined for whichever market will pay
the highest price. Tuesday the first
carload of cantaloupes to be shipped
from here during the season was sent
cut. Both of these shipments were
made by Arakelian Brothers & Com
pany, probably the largest individual
shippers and growers of cantaloupes,
watermelons, grapes and dried fruits
in the state. This company also
shipped out the first ton of water
melons of the season, the same hav-
ing Teen marketed last week in Los
Angeles, and 200 crates of canta-
loupes, which were shipped to points
in California, Arizona, Utah, Mon
tana Oregon and Washington.
E. NJ. Bishop, manager of shipping
for Arakelian Brothers & Company,
estimates that this company will ship
cut of Calexico when the season is
in full swing at least 25 carloads of
cantaloupes daily and 20 carloads of
watermeIons daily. This com
pany has about SIS acres planted in
cantaloupes at Calexico, and 800 plant
ed 20 watermelons. 1t is estimated
that about 500 carloads, of 1926 crates
each. Of cantalouples, will be shipped
from Calexico by one firm during the
season, and that about 300 carloads
Of watermelons will be shipped.
Casabas, the luscious table fruit,
which has become so popular during
the last few years, will be ripe in the
Calexico district within ten days, and
more than month earlier than in
any ether section in the state. This,
especially in view Of the fact that
it has been demonstrated to entire
satisfaction that casabas can be
shipped long distance, is considered
Of mach importance TO CaleXico, where
the crop natures much earlier than
elsewhere. Two years ago men with
years Of experience in shipping water
melons and cantaloupes, entertained
the opinion that casabas would not
stand being shipped any distance. But
year ago it was demonstrated that
cagabas can be shipped TO advantage.
Several tests were made. Several ship
mems we're sent 10 Chicago and as
far east as New York, az well as TO
Seattle, Portland and Spokane. The
shipments 10 New York and Chicago
did rot do 10 very well, though the
casaoas were still palatable when they
arrived, but IT was demonstrated be-
yond doubt that casabas can be
shipped 10 Wellington, Oregon, Utah
and Montana points, and at big
profit This fact augurs well for Ca
lczicO, where casabag ripen earlier
than n any other section Of the
gtats.

CONCRETE ROADS

Sometimes the weather throws a fit and sends the rain, perfect flood; and then the gumbo and the grit are mixed up in of mud. The roads that lead into the town are heaped with mud a 1urIong high, and merchants sigh, with gloomy frown "Theren be no trade until they dry" And SC the merchants and their clerks grief are bear Ing heaVy loads; they sit and the whole blamed works, and wish the country had good roads
 The farmers view the falling rain and see the mud so wet and gray, and chew their whiskers and nothin here that we do, and might go and blow our wads but eighteen mules can't pull us through that of mud, for eighteen rods"
 And so the farmers make fuss because they cannot get to town; and so the merchants sit and wheneer the rain is falling down. All OCT the land this thing prevails our highways harbor fish and tcads and oft the sad onlooker walls: Why don't they fix the bawsted roads?'
 They do, they send out and teams, with blows and scrapers, by the day and, while the road boss whoops and screams. they grade the blooming right of way With pasteboard culverts here and there, they fix the road till it's sight, and when they quit the job they that they have done it good and right.
 And then there comes a good swift shower with chunks of hail, perhaps. and snow; and To- in less than half an hour that road is washed to Broken Bow. We've blown in millions just that way re- pairing roads that won't stay fixed, and so the things taxpayers say oft with smoke and brim- stone mixed
 But now there this Cement Gent who breaches truth and tells the boys that highways built of good cement will end their and bring new joys When we have got good concrete roads, the weather won't disturb trade the husband men will haul their loads to town and buy red lem onade.

Good Government and Party

The campaign of Governor Johnson of Califor- mia is going his way There Hooking to standard others than progressives, who are interested in good government rather than in par ties They satisfied with the record of the Johnson administration and reason why it should be succeeded by which is only pledged something different.
 The other day Fred P. Gregson traffic manager Of the Los Angeles Jobbers' Association and a democrat said:
 Every man thinks along his own line and I think of the benefits the merchants here abouts by the admirable utilities board known as the state railroad commission.
 Business men believe thoroughly in the present state railroad commission Governor Johnson named these men, and under Governor Johnson the com mission will continue it's excellent labors.
 With thought of politics. for I am demo- crat of fixed convictions urge the reelection of Hiram w. Johnson and the election of John M Eshleman lieutenant governor"
 Mr. Gregson has some other than q partisan political for supporting the Johnson admin isration It is the same that the men asso- Angeles have And yet, the principal accusation against the administration of California is that it has not been in accord with the business interests of the state.
 In an interior California town. Governor Johnson was introduced to the audience by a citrus grower and democrat, who stated that it was out of the ordinary for democrat to be introducing a candi- date of another party. He added that the struggle TOT the retention of good government demanded that every man do his duty as a good citizen and not as partisan.
 When this spirit prevails throughout the country we shall have good government. But until it pre- Vas we shall have political slavery and misrule

Is There Sectional Discrimination?

In the of the preparation of the present tariff law there complaint that there were dis crimnations in favor of southern industries Chair Underwood is southern man; the chairman the senate finance committee is southern man. all their chief advisers men of the south. It charged that the cotton industry given degree of protection disproportonate that afforded northern industries; that even the struggling and really impossible pineapple industry fostered in such a way increase the price of that fruit. Even the children of the country, the real consum of bananas, subjected to tax. The only southern industry, and that is not widely disrib uted one that left in the cold the cane sugar industry of Louisiana. That sacri- fced to the sugar trust and marked for extinction.
 Now complaint is being made but do not know how well founded, that in the preparation of the measure, the south is again being favored. It is proposed to impose heavy additional beer and wines and very slight one, all whisky. It is pointed that compara- lively little beer wine is consumed in the south, while in the northern states they constitute siderable part of the consumption of alcoholic liquors.
 All the great breweries and wine-growing dis
