WATERMELONS ARE
EXTRA LARGE NOW
FIRST CARS STARTED ROLLING
LAST WEEK - FORTY CAR
LOADS FROM HOLMES CoUN-
TY THIS YEAR ALONE.

Bombay, (West) Florida, June Is.
First shipments of watermelons are
being sent out from West Florida, the
first cars moving within the last
week. Among the first shippers was
Dr.. G. F. Warren, of Mona, Holmes
tSuntys he haging loaded three cars.
Ia is estimated that Holmes county
win handle about forty cars this sea-
son.
The melons throughout West Flor
ida are of unusual size and excellence
this season, many of those being
shipped grading above forty pounds
in weight. Preliminary estimates of
between 100 and 1000 cars of
melons probably were too low, as re-
cent favoring weather has raised the
per cent of the crop.
The West Florida Chamber of

PRAYING BY ELECTRICITY

q. L. Hadley in World outlook
Simla, the summer capital of India.
is rich in scenery, cooling breezes and
little mountain streams which issue
direct from the snow fields above
When some practical, hard-headed, un-
sentimental engineers came along and
proposed to harness those streams up
TO dynamos to supply light and power
for Simla, they met with unexpected
opposition.
For centuries the Buddists had mum
bled their perpetual prayers until they
grew weary and then some ingenious
votary received revelation that pray
ers written on slips of paper and
tackled to continually revolving wheel
were sufficiently efficacious. The power
for these prayer mills had been OBJ
tanned from water wheels in these same
mountain streams. Now some goddess
American wanted to divert that water
power for commercial purposes. Simla
preferred her praying mills to electric
light
Then the government stepped in, the
wise, tactful British Government which
has learned by long and costly expert
ence how to deal with the old customs
and prejudices. Yes. the power COM
panies might proceed. They must
agree, however, TO supply all the prayer
wheels with electric motors. Simla

Blind Boys Are Stars
in Basketball Game
Special to the Telegraph

Columbus, Ohio. Jan. 1S.-Colum-
bus has a basketball team that literal
ly can shoot baskets with it's eyes shut
Fans who have seen the boys in ac-
tion say they're wonders. The little
squad of sightless lads wear the colors
of the Ohio State School for the Blind.
There's Joe Arndt, of Lima, Ohio,
whirlwind forward; Joe's left eye has
only 1920 normal vision. Yet Joe,
in the three games he's played this
season, has averaged 151I baskets
game.
r. Mcqueen, captain and center has
q cataract on his right eye and his left
eye is 1-25 normal. But he has
weird uncanny sense of where the bas-
ket Is and sticks 'em in the pan, one,
two, three.
There isn't man on the squad who
can read even poster print. Total
blind students are the teams hackers.
They can tell when a basket is made
and their roofing would shame a col
lege bunch. Are they winners? The
squad has secured 200 points thus for
this season TO its opponents 6S.
