MESA NEWS NOTES
CAN1AlOUPE OUTLOOK
 IS VERY PROMISING
This Years Crop Advance Of $2500 Has Been Paid By Gerard & Go.
 to Local Growers

That the outlook for a splendid year ir the cantaloupe industry for Mesa is very encouraging is the
 opinion of T. G. Hilvert, field mana -
 ger with the $. A. Gerard Go. of Cincinnati. who has just completed a thorough survey of the local fields. The above mentioned com pany has approximately 500 acres signed up in the Mesa section and has just completed the first pay =
 ment of five dollars per acre to the local growers. The next payment of five dollars per acre advance will be
 made June l. The present advance is on melons where there is an 80 per cent stand.
 However. the spring has been con : ducive to the growth of the plant and an extraordinarily good stand is re- ported. The plants. or many of them at least. are already putting out their fourth leaf and are in healthy a7- bearing condition. In the opinion of MT. Hilvert the outlook for good prices the coming year are very en- couragine also. In the event that the Mesa melons get on the eastern mar ket ahead of the home grown melons 1t will make great difference in the prices. This he believes will be pos sible this year on account of the carly planting. MT. Hilbert has just come from Rocky Ford. Colo, where there is about 8. two-thirds crop as compared with last year He goes from here to Brawley. Cal, where shipping will commence May 20. The shipping from this point is expected to commence about June 18th.
 K. l.. Mumford has been made the local agent for the Gerard company The crop here is estimated as being about one fourth less in total acreage as compared with last season.

Treasurer Smith Declares Half
of Money Pain Out Is for
Salaries
Creation of New Departments
Increases Working Force 81
Per Cent i'm 10 Years

In meeting the monthly drain
on the states strong box, State
Treasurer Smith annually issues
about 10000 checks, but he is
without exact knowledge as to
how many of these checks 60 to
persons in the employ Of the
state.
II think it would be safe to
say, though" said Mr.. Smith
yesterday, chat about half of
the amount represents salaries"
The other day Custodian Cor
lis of the state capitol took a
census of the building and To-
Gated 376 persons. Ten years
ago when the old state capitol
was the seat of government, it
housed less than 100 persons.
The old state capitol is still used
for state government purposes
ana it now houses as many en-
ployes as when it was vacated.
The number in the old capitol
is in addition to those listed as
having a business address at the
new capitol.
The state highway commission
occupies part Of a floor in a St.
Paul office building and, accord
ing to the latest blue book is
sued, is credited with 104 en-
ployes. A majority of them,
however, do not have their
homes in the capitol city. They
arc scattered over the state.
The state railway and ware
house commission is another de-
partment which has Offices in
addition to those located in the
state capitol. It employees fully

Read Twenty Years
At HuII House"
Patron of Public Library Writes
Review of Book Telling of Life
and Work of Jane Adams

Twenty Years at Hull House"
is I. book of unusual interest to
the average reader. AS the title
indicates, it was written prim-
arily as history of Hull House
Settlement in Chicago. To those
who are not familiar with the
purposes and such a work this
book will prove very illuminat-
ing as the history of most
successful settlement.
But the greater interest will
lie in the autobiography of the
founder, Miss Jane Adams, in
telling Of her early life and of
the motives which finally i'm
PEELED her to launch into settle
ment work as we'll as in the later
history of Hull House, Miss
Adams has unconsciously and
unassumingly revealed herself
to us-a personality of more
than ordinary interest. Her
chief traits are her sense of
humor and her broad sympathy
with all humanity, which has
kept her mind open, and herself
adaptable to all people and con-
ditions.
The story Of her life is an in
SEPARATION to people of all ages.
To the young person who thinks
a college career indispensable
her story of her temptation to
spend her life in the futile pur-
suit of scholarship and culture.
She uses a phrase of Tolstoy's
'the snare Of preparation" She
further says, ut is. easy to be-
come the dupe of deferred pur-
pose, of the promise of the fu-
ture one can never keep" She
does not discredit scholarship
but thinks that It should be
preparation for the accomplish
ment of some good to humanity
and not a selfish end in itself.
To the older person her ready
adaptability contains lesson for
all. She we'll exernplifes the
truth Lowell expressed in "new
occasions teach new duties, time
makes ancient good uncouth."
1t is this ready adaptability that
has made Hull House so sue
cessful. One can never say that
its affairs have ''fallen into a
rut or become mere routine"
The chapter on the "Value of
Social Clubs" will reveal a wide
field Of activity for the club
women in our own community.
Miss Adams says in speaking
of one club which wished to be
select, TO walk only in the paths
of SNUG self seeking and per-
sonal Improvement leads
straight into the pit of self
righteousness and petty achieve
ment and is exactly what the
settlement does not stand for"
