 cross The border now," was their advice.
 Despite All this, our hope of pushing on, the In two full weeks, was firm. Return

 and when The dawn appeared we were enroute to
 Berne Here, we must interview the French
 Consul That our passports might be vised.
 This done Without mischance, we early laid us
 down To sleep. Next morn at half past three
 we rose. At five, our train was pulling out for
 France. We rode till noon, when at Pontarlier, The first French town, we showed our

Our leaders now set out in quest Of food and shelter for us all. It seemed As though the skies were emptying, down came The rain so heavily. Weary, hungry, And cold, we waited till at last re- turned Our friends. "At Hotel de la Cloche, only With greatest difficulty, have we gained Consent to spend the night" said they.

 Glendale Mean
 OneAnd The Same

The growing of Cartaloupes in and about the Glendale country is a very important industry and each year from TOO to 2,000 acres are grown by Glendale farmers for shipment to the Eastern markets during the months of June and July.
 The fertile Glendale Loes soil seems particularly adapted to the growing to the growing of Canta1oupes, and large yields coupled with excellent quality are of yearly occurrence. The words, Grown at Glendale, Arl- zcna," on a crate of Cantaloupes means to the purchaser that he IS getting the very best that the mar ket can offer.
 Glendale Cantaloupes arrive on the Eastern markets just after the Inn periaI Valley of California have fin ished their seasons shipments, there by having no competition as the shipment of the Glendale crop is over before Colorado Cantaloupes are eady for consignment.
 Last season new Cantaloupe was introduced and grown at Glendale, called the Pink Meat, this melon created an exceptional demand in the Eastern markets, the result being that the supply was not equal to the demand and the Glendale farm CTS received large profits from the result of their enterprise. the writer

The Arizona market is a certain market, for today and all the tomOr- rows. The mining towns of the state are growing rapidly and new districts are being opened at ire cuert intervals These camps are for the most part entirely dependent on distant farms for their food supply. And they always will be dependent, since the country round them is mostly rock on edge With a grow ing and absolutely dependent market

 Considering Cantaloupes are only 2 four months crop, and that after they are harvested there is plenty of time to grow a crop of Kaffir corn, Milo Maize, Cow Peas, Beans. or other different summer products on the same land before the winter season starts, one can readily see that intensive farming is a paying occupation at Glendale. and the fact that there are no crop failures, ow- ing to an abundant irrigation water supply always on hand, good growing
