would contribute to the state and ma
ional campaign, in the same propor-

The row between the officers of the

on per cent. the amount levied two
years ago. The committee demanded

"ST0RIES IF SUCCESS" DEALS
 WITH CANTAL0UPE INDUSTRY

Another bulletin which deals with tho cantaloupe industry fin the Salt River valley. has been issued by the Phoenix chamber of commerce. The latest publication is titled Stories of Success" and was issued under au- thoIity of the board of supervisors. Excerpts from the bulletin are as follows:
 The Salt River valley. Arizona. cantaloupe season. which ended July 2i. was very profitable for all con- cerned l.600 acres were under cul- tivation and $50 cars of cantaloure es were shipped to the eastern markets. Every car averaged about 330 stan dard crates. with 45 melons to the crate, making a total of l2,S25.5 300 melons. These melons topped the eastern market all during the three eeks' shipping period and the max mum price received was $4.50 Ter standard crate in New York City.
 The average price through the sea son was S3,25 per standard crate and as approximately ITO erase per acre was produced, these prices netted the growers slightly more than s1l0 per acre.
 "on this basis. the 1.c00 acres of cantaloupes brought into the valley money to pay 69 per cent of the total operation and maintenance charges on the Salt River project for 1S7.o0o acres of land for :he year 1915. Re- norts of maximum production were l.s00 crates from five acres and l.500 crates from 6is acres.
 "The Salt River valley Is an ideal
Arizona republican., 1916-12-02

Iplace for the production of canta
 loupes. due primarily to the dry cli- mate and the excellent soil A dry climate Is very essential as the can taloupes are very porous and obsOrp water like . sponge. with the result that the melons are rendered unfit for
 use If there is any considerable amount of rainfall during the ripen- ing season. In this valley, a medium heavy soil which contains consider able hunts seems to produce the best cantaloupes
 'The shipping season usually be- gins about July and lasts until about the 25th. Nightly during this
 shipping season both the Santa lfe and Southern Pacific railroads send out special trains of refrigerator cars loaded with cantaloupes. These trains go through on fast freight schedule and arrive in Chicago seven days I later. New York in 10 days and Boston in II days.
 "A ucw breakfast melon called the | Honey Dew was introduced into the valley the last season, 27 acres were
 planted in the Mesa district with ex- cellent results. This melon was orig inally imported from Africa to Eng land and was later grown in the South Sea Islands. From the South Sea Islands 1t was brought into the
 United States but it was not widely grown because of its poor shipping quality. Later it was crossed with the Casaba and the Rocky Ford and the result was a large, smooth, tough rind melon with a wonderful flavor, which stands ID. well for shipping"

The Honorable Friend the Jesse l. l.asky production ot which will he the attra cticn at the Lamara on Friday. came about in a most un- usual manner Elizabeth McGaffey. tho author of the story. returning from a recent visit to Japan. was standing on the dock at the San Francisco har- bor watching the immigration officials checking up the picture brides as they came to shore. Marrying by photo graph Is the usual method of procedure among the Japanese in this country. They send a photograph of themselves to q friend in Japan who hunts them up bride. and her picture Is then sent to this country The necessary passage money is forwarded to Japan and the couple meet at the dock where the marriage takes place. over one thousand picture brides come into this country every year. as many as twenty or thirty frequently being on one ship.
 In this instance. the brides were in line being turned over to the prospec- tive bridegrooms as they arrived on tho deck. Each photograph was in- spectcd ard compared carefully In order to avoid all deception. The Japanese girls in their native cos tunes were toddling forward. sub hitting their photographs to the in- spectors. and among them was a feminine antique who was probably a member of tie Nipponese old ladies home at the time of the Japanese Rus sian war She came up to the inspec- tor. who looked at her and remarked Someone has picked lemon.''
