 tive. The grader should have thrown out beforehand all undesirable fruit and also should have graded the canta- loupes according to their ripeness The latter is an important point, for experience has shown that cantaloupes produced in the West are often mar keted in a green condition in nearby cities, while other shipments reach the large Eastern markets in an over- ripe condition. Fruit designed for long journeys should be packed when less mature than that intended for marketing near at hand.
 The packing of cantaloupes would be simplified and the packages made more attractive by the use of a much smaller variety of containers. The full sized standard crate and standard fiat crate meet most of the demands of the market and should be used whenever practicable. The standard cantaloupe crate is the one in which the bulk of the crop is now shipped from Califor- mia, New Mexico, Florida, Utah. Colo rado, Texas, Georgia, the Carolinas Delaware, Maryland, and several other states. It consists of two ends, 12 inches square, connected by 12 slats 23l2 to "A inches long. Such a crate should contain 45 melons. The stand ard fiat" crate used in Colorado meas ures Az by 13 by 23 inches.

Laughs Better Than Medicine.

Physicians have discovered that good laugh is one of the best panaceas extant for the various ills of man. kind. They recommend it as substi- ute for medicine. It is good for any kind of ailment, from chronic dyspep- sia to chilblains, from softening of the brain to hardening of the arteries. Germs scatter the majority of dis eases, but lack of mental relaxation s now found to be responsible for some of our best patronized ills. The man with a sense of humor is better fortified against poor health than the man with a pestiferous grouch. A countenance wreathed in smiles is symbolic of proper heart action, good circulation and normal respiration While generally speaking it improves ones health to laugh, it might not improve ones health to laugh at the man who slips on banana peel and is severely bumped in his dignity, or at the man who madly pursues his hat that is caught in the teeth of a frisky breeze and spins down the middle of the street, or at the man whom the playful kiddies have just soaked with a snowfall. These are not subjects for laughter as provided for in the health movement. Be discreet about what you laugh, but laugh whenever possible.

 Central packing houses in areas where the production of cantaloupes is an important industry are suggested in a Farmers Bulletin, No. TOT, as a promising means of solving some of About one-half of the trouble in mar keting cantaloupes, says this bulletin, appears to arise from the difficulty of securing a steady and properly pre- pared output of uniform grade, quail ity, and appearance. This difficulty would be overcome to a large extent if individual growers in any commit nity produced crops of the same va riety and quality, handled them in the same way, and were both competent and willing to grade and pack them correctly. As long, however, as each grower packs and ships his own fruit, a uniform standard of quality and ap- pearance is hardly possible.
 In recent years the production of cantaloupes has increased greatly and as result competition on the market has become much keener "On the oth- CT hand" states the bulletin, years of observation warrant the statement that markets are rarely glutted with fruits or vegetables of first-class qual- ity. Even when the market is over- stocked, well-graded and well-packed products will be taken and the medic ere stock left on the dealers hands" The individual cantaloupe grower, therefore, will profit by seeing that his product is as attractive as that of any of his competitors. Further, the en- tire cantaloupe industry will profit by improving the quality and the appear ance of the melons grown for market. It is always possible for the consumer to turn from cantaloupes to some oth- CT fruits, and the demand Is almost certain to vary directly with the qual- ity of the product.
 A very important factor in securing the desired attractiveness Is uniform ity. Under the present system, grad ing and packing are frequently done by the same man. This, in the opinion of specialists in the department, is a mistakes Whenever possible the pack CT should be left free to give his atten- tion to securing a pack of standard count which is both tight and attrac-

FIGHT MOTHS WITH
 AID OF PARASITES
Marked Progress Is Being Made in Reducing Pests in Many
 of Eastern States.

Over 12000,000 specimens of two parasites which prey on the gipsy moth and brown-tail moth were re- leased in POI towns in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island during the fall of 1914 and spring of 1915, according to the an- nual report of the bureau of Entomol- ogy, United States department of az riculture.
 AS a result of the successful estab- lishment of colonies of these and other parasites which feed on the gipsy and brown-tail moths, marked progress is being made in reducing these pests. Efficient cooperation is being afforded by the states, which carry on as much work as possible within the infested areas, thus al- lowing the federal authorities to carry on field work along the outer border or infestation, so as to retard the gipsy moths spread.

doubted if she was anything more than grass widow" and there were many guesses as to a hidden tragedy in her life. Certainly in her sorrow ful, impressive face there were traces of suffering. She had come to the will lage, whence no one had learned. Re served, yet gracious, sad, yet always industrious, she had won the respect of the community. Her kindness to- ward old Bartlett, when she had housed and nursed him when he had a broken leg, had bound him to a debt of gratitude that never left him.
 Rarely a day passed that Bartlett did not make it a point to pass the Rawson home. Rarely a day that he did not bring his prime favorite, little Benny, an apple, candy, toy. The friendship of these two lonely waifs was the one bright spot in the life of the hardened piece of human drift wood
 He was seated on the doorstep one afternoon, taking a rest after his reg ular rounds, Benny enchanted with the fairy story he was reciting, when Mrs. Rawson came to the door and greeted him. The quick eye of Bart lett detected a new pallor, vague anxiety in her face.
 Come in and speak with me be- fore you go, MT. Bartlett" she said qmetly-"will you please?"
 The bagman nodded assent wonder ingly. He soon distracted the atten- tion of his young companion to some kittens in the garden, and went into the neat little sitting room of the house.

THE BAGMAN
By GEORGE ELMER COBB,

".t's early yet-cant I stay out till carxc"
 Do you want me to send for the bagman?"
 That query was the terror of all juvenile Acton, and it invariably brought results. Kidnapers and gyp- sies had no such power to alright as the bagman." He was a familiar in- stitution of the little isolated village, harmless, even gentle, but his sinis- ter-seeming one eye, his gruff creak- ing voice, above all the receptacle he carried were too much for the excited imagination of youthful Acton.
 That bag that gave the old-clothes bargainer his nickname was to fear filled juvenility a bugbear, a thing of majesty and mystery. What tales they wove about it; what gruesome stories of the lonesome hut where he carried it nights! It was filled with ogres, dwarfs, elves! Once a mischievous lad called old Bartlett names. He de- clared that the bagman opened his bag and that a great human face had flown out, pursuing him clear to the kitchen door of his home.
 Yet Bartlett was frugal, honest and industrious. He exchanged new cook ing tins for old apparel, mended up his stock of garments, once a month shipped his accumulation to the city, and was said to make quite a profit selling to secondhand shops in the slums of the big metropolis.
 There was one child in Acton, how ever, who was afraid of neither Bart lett nor his bag. He was Bennie Ray son. four years old, and his mother was called the young widow" Many

ply large restaurants, hotels, railway dining cars and similar institutions. In consequence, the market discriminates against crates in which large and small cantaloupes are packed together.
 Central packing houses in which the grading and packing of the fruit could be conducted according to permanent and fixed standard would greatly facili- tate the adoption of the desired re- forms In sections where melons are now marketed through growers CO., operative marketing organizations it should not be difficult to extend the as- sociation's activities to the manage ment of such houses. Under these cir cumstances it would probably be desir- able to have competent field men in- spect the members fields in order to advise them in regard to the proper time for harvesting the crop, and in order to prevent fruit from diseased or undesirable patches being mixed in shipments to the central packing houses. In these houses the grader should do much of the work that is now commonly done by the packer. throwing out all fruit defective in any way. AS has already been said, this system would leave the packer free to devote his attention to securing a good pack If cantaloupe growers knew how a loose, uneven pack hampers ready sales, they would never allow crate to leave their packing houses in poor condition.

CORN NARROWING AT
 THE CORRECT TIME
Effective Way of Eradicating Weeds Just Germinating-
 Avoid Covering Plants.

(By L. E. CALL Kansas Experiment
 Station)
 A cornfield can be covered more rapidly with harrow than with any other type of cultivating implement. and if the narrowing is done at the right time 1t is an effective way of killing weeds. Weeds that are just germinating or that have not obtained good root hold can be easily killed with the harrow. The harrow can also be used to advantage in breaking up crust caused by a heavy, dashing rain.
 Surface-planted corn may be safely narrowed before 1t is up, but it is not best to harrow after the shoots arc out of the ground until the plants are two or three inches high, when a light harrow or weeder can again be usede It is a good practice in handling sur face-planted corn to harrow the field at least twice, once five or six days after the corn is planted or just be- fore the corn comes up, and again a week or'ten days later, after the corn is big enough not to be easily broken off or covered
 Corn planted with 0 disk furrow opener can be narrowed safely at any stage of it's early growth. as the shall low furrows usually furnish sufficient protection to the small plants to pre- vent their being broken off. If the seedbed Is we'll prepared, there is lit- tie danger of the corn being GOV cred.
 Listed corn Is sometimes narrowed. AS rule, however, little is gained by narrowing listed corn, for the lister cutivator can ordinarily be used as soon as the corn needs attention.

Nearly all the new cultures are high, with the hair waved and brought to the top of the crown and sometimes to the top of the head In all of them the forehead and ears are at least par. tially covered, and fashion favors the appearance of abundance of hair care fully dressed. Large puffs help out in achieving the high hair dress, and short curis add the touch that is in keeping with the present modes in dresses and neekwear.
 But in spite of the pre- eminence of the high coiffure, young women, and some older ones, refuse to abandon the more youthful style of the low hair dress. They are wise who refuse to sacrifice single charm on the altar of fashion when it comes to choosing the manner of doing the hair. A small shapely head, with all it's pretty curves, is something to be proud of, and why should a stately coiffure crown the saucy or demure head of youth?
 Whatever choice is made, the hair is 10 be waved and the coiffure must be- speak care in it's dressing and neat ness in finish. One Of the most attrac- tive of new styles is shown in the pic. ture. The hair is waved in very large waves for this coiffure and parted in long part at one side. It sweeps across the forehead from the part and over the ears, and is coiled in a loose coil pinned close to the head above the nape of the neck. Three short, full curis are pinned in at each side This

 Women should experiment with at. tractive and practical arrangements of the hair. The coiffure, more than any thing else. can add or subtract years ln the appearance. Occasionally one sees happy mortal to whom nature has been unusually kind. Her hair waves naturally, grows in the best pos sible lines about the face and neck, and presents adorable little ringlets just where they look prettiest. She need take little thought of coiffure styles. for nature has made her inde- pendent of them. But the majority of women give themselves less concern than they should in this matter. The charm that lies in well-dressed hair is within reach of all of them. It is a matter for study, and in considering 1t one must consider also the style of clothes with which the coiffure is to be worn

shown in the picture, with veil of green chiffon, is a good example of the new models. The veil is weight ed at the ends with knot and silk tassel.
 Designers are also presenting hats for motor wear that are cleverly made to do duty as street hats as well. They are soft and close-fitting and made of the same materials as the bonnets. But in combinations of braids with fabrics there is more braid and less fabric than in the regulation motor bonnet. They are more trimmed and their veils are entirely separate. The tourist who does not wish to be bur dened with an extra hat on a short journey finds this style convenient.
 Compared to other classes of head wear the motor hat is most modest in price. No one should be indifferent in selecting it, to the variety of shapes and colors that promise some thing becoming for every face.

In millinery for motor wear the season provides hats. bonnets and caps, leaving it to the wearer to ex- ercise her judgment when the time comes for choosing among them. Judging by numbers, the bonnet, or cap, has finally triumphed, as the most sensible headwear for the motorist, and those who meet her demands have provided wonderfully attractive and well-made models of this kind.
 Nearly all motor-wear millinery is made of fabrics or of a fabric con- bined with millinery braid. The shapes fit the head by means of elas- tic cords or other devices that hold them snugly to place, and are de- signed with visors or brims that pro- tect the eyes. Veils of thin chiffon, only moderately long, are important adJuncts to all sorts of headwear de- signed for the motorist. The bonnet of black and white checked fabric,
