ODE TO THE CANTALOUPE

MAY we not the city pass
TO tn, land of deep green grass,
Their, live beneath the sun kissed bow
Amid the ever blooming flowers?"
"Ah nay," she answered like NOPE
"Mama says cantaloup."
"Then let us on the ocean ride
To country far and wide,
To the land of sweetest dreams
Where loves treasure ever gleams.' u
But she answered like NOPE
MAMA says / cantaloup."
"To a villa we will go
Where the mts. are tipped with snow,
With cares forever lost in space
We will live in loves embrace"
But she answered like NOPE,
"Mama says l cantaloup."
"Then to the desert let us go
Where there's neither rain or snow,
An oasis we will find
And build beneath the clinging vine."
Still she answered like NOPE,
"Mama says l cantaloup."
"The wise little owl will sing his
song,
The coyote howl loud and long,
But within our love built walls Wen
i've
And of loves apples take and give"
Still she answered like a NOPE,
"Mama says / cantaloup."
He then sat down upon rock,
His heart grew hard as stone or block,
He took his pipe and had a smoke
And ate lusciosu cantaloupe.
He dreams no more of home and
hearth,
Of fondling dear to cheer his heart
Imperial Valley is his goal,
T'is here he soothes his sun-baked
soul;
With heat and sand storms here he
copes,
And raises nice sweet cantaloupes.

the fair daughters of Emilio Rabasa,
one of the Mexican delegates to the
mediation conferences. There are four
daughters, Isabel, Conception, Mer-
cedes and Ruth. Their pictures have
been published in papers throughout
the country, and now they are receiv-
ing letters, almost daily from love-
lorn youths as far away rs California.
|, Ruth is the youngest of the four
sisters. She is but ,16, but at present
has received more letters than the
others. Conception whose pet name in
| the family is Concha, and is the next
youngest, is running Ruth close sec
ond. One young man writing Ruth
begged that he be given picture. He
said if there YVES any cost incident.
to having the picture taken he would
willingly forward the money. Ruth
cen understand English, but cannot
speak it. Despite this handicap she is
favorite among the American friends
the sisters have made while in Mia
CARA. They are accomplished dancers
and here are few new steps which
they have not mastered.
An informal dance is in progress at
the hotel every night from about 8
until 1890. The entire mediation col
ony en- the Canadian side has fallen
into the custom of the Mexicans in
dining late. Breakfast is usually at
about 10 o'clock for a majority Of
the principals and their suites; lun-
cheon at 2; tea at four, and dinner
at 8. During the day tennis, auto
mobile rides and sightseeing trips
take up the time of the Pabasa sis
ters and others not engaged in the
| work of peace. One of the easiest
things imaginable is to get up an in
ternational tennis match on the courts
near the hotel. Within few minutes
players may be rounded for doubles
| with Mexico and Argentine represent
ed on one side of the net and Brazil,
the United States, France, Chill, Cuba
or Great Britain on the other. In ad-
dition to the nations represented by
those connected with the mediation
there is Frenchhman, Cuban and
an Englishman among the newspaper
men.

NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM WASHINGTON
(BY BURTON X. STANDISH)

D N
written for the United Press)
Washington, June 24-The best
golfer in congress today is Represen-
tative Oglesby of New York, at least
according to the official handicappers
of the Columbia Country Club. He is
accredited, also with being one of
New York's "crack" golfers. Next to
Oglesby ranks Representative Whaley
of South Carolina, known to his
chums as "Dixie." He was formerly
champion of his state and was also a
college baseball star in his diamond
days. "Dixie's" handicap on the Col
umbia courses is Ia.
But two strokes behind Whaley,
President Wilson and former Presi-
dent Taft are placed, each given handi-
caps Of 16 strokes. Wilson has only
played few times at Columbia, but
Taft was a frequent visitor there,
although the Chevy Chase course was
his favorite golfing haunt.
Those who have followed both Will
SON end Taft around local links, de-
clare that Taft is the best driver
of the two, but that Wilson excels
Taft on approaching on the greens.
Wilson's work with the irons, par
ticularly from hard lies, is said to be
superior to that of Taft. The latter,
it is said, gets greater distance
on his drives, both with the brassie
and driver, but Wilson's driving is said
to be free from slicing and pulling,
although for shorter distances.
The 16 handicap given Taft and
Wilson is conceded to put them at the
forefront on the local courses. Par
for Columbia course is 72. Representa-
tive Oglesby has made it in SO fire.
auently and once in 80. Handicaps
given other statesmen at Columbia
are: Senator Penrose, 16; Senator
Senator Bristow, 90; Senator Cummins
II; Senator Hollis, Is; Senator Hitch
cock, 1S; Senator O'Gorman "a; Sena-
tor Townsend, %; Representative
Kent, "a; Representative Gillette, 16;
Representative Townsend 16; Repre-
sentative Tuttle "a; Representative
Woods 16; Representative Treadway

Commercial use, regularly, by

Funds for keeping the building and

from visitors of whom there were

If big earthquake occurred today,
the Weather Bureau would have alb
solutlly no record, on it's own instru-
ments. This is admitted by officials,
who say penuriousness of Congress
has crippled the seismographic work
Of the Bureau. The quake-recording
instruments of the Bureau are now
out of commission, because Congress
has not provided funds for their re-
pair. The government now largely
depends for seismographic records
upon various universities.

Agriculture Houston to make seismo-
