officials realize the need of getting
this water to a place where residents
can connect II with their property
and to that end $500 feet OF pipe will
be laid at a cost OF approximately

Such action was taken BY the board
Of trustees at their meeting Monday
night and pipe has been ordered for
this purpose. 1t will run up the alley
north from the water tank to Seventh

q cantaloupe. Careful tests by chem
lists have proven that a cantaloupe
picked two days before 10 Is ready to
slip from the stem does not contain
one.half as much sugar as properly
ripened melon. What this to be ex-
pected from melon picked two weeks
before 1t is ripened? No wonder they
are tough, stringy, tasteless and
thought to be crossed with pumpkins
and squsshes.
HOW CAN THIS BE REMEDIED?
Easily. The cantaloupe Ia now devel-
oped to more nearly perfect type
than ever before. The same soil, sun.
shine,7 water and work 10 to be had
and better melons than ever before
can be placed on the market.
First: No melon should be shipped
that Is not fully ripened.
Second: All over.ripe or inferior
melons must be thrown away.
Third: After the refrigerator cars
are loaded the rear vents must be
sealed open and left open for at least
one railroad division.
This will allow all the hot air to
pass out of the car and give good re.
frigeration. This means that Ice will
be melted and refrigeration will cost
more but 1t Is impossible to get re-
frigeration without melting Ice. and
the faster the Ice IL melted until the
melons become thoroughly cooled the
better refriReraLinn the melons will
get: You know the faster the Ice
melts the faster the ice cream freezes
and that is why salt IL placed 10 the
Ice when Ice cream Ii being made.
After the melons are thoroughly
cOoled the vents should be sealed
clased and then there will be no com.
plaint abnut Our Breakfast Melon.
The sugar will make IL stand up. and
that delightfully."- sweet and spicy
flavor found only In u properly ma
tured cantaloupe grown under arid
conditions will again be ours.
