feeling pretty respondent, %
said J. NJ Lewis. In New
York the heat has been terrific, with
the usual suffering on the east side.

thing for Clint and the valley, but il
is a splendid advertisement Of one Of
FL PasO's best products. IN flavor the
valley cantaloupe cannot be surpassed
and there is no reason why, with
proper boosting, il should not become
as famous as the fruit grown at
o

no reason why few years should not
see the valley eantaloupes in the
same class"

People who complain Of the heat
