Crop Prospects for
Season Is Good
Cantaloupes Will BE On About August 20
Hay Now Being Marketed
At $500 Ton.

First shipment of canteloupes from
this district will be not sooner than
August 20 and possibly not until the
25th, according to canteloape men.
Both the pink meats and the honey
dew melons will ripen at about the
same time.
Indications are that the price this
season will be good. The price for
the melons shipped out Of Rrawley,
Cal, district has held up better than
for several years and the output has
been large at that. The melons in
the New Mexico district are now COM
ing on, the honey dew melons being
ahead of the other varieties grown
there.
Melons here have so far done well
and the prospect for a good crop is
good The vines are in a healthy
condition in most of the fields.

There has been very little loss from
hail and insects have not been very

DRILLED TO PERFECTION.
Secret of the Military Success of "the
 Madman of the North"

Secret of the Military Success ot "the
 Mailman of the North"
 From drill man gets accustomed to doing under any circumstances what has been hammered into his brain time after time till 1t becomes second nature to him.
 Charles XII. of Sweden, "the mad man of the north" ripped most of Europe up the back again and again because his soldiers were drilled to perfection before he let them take the field at a time when there was great neglect of drill in other armies. He valued 1000 well drilled fighters above 10000 not so well drilled, and, madman or genius, his judgment was vindicated repeatedly in terrible battles.
 One night Charles XII. was surprised in Poland by an attacking army of 5000 when his scant force of GOO was sleeping like the dead from the ex- haustion of a hard march Before his outposts and sentinels could be driven in bis small band was aroused, mount ed, formed In battle line-all in pitchy blackness-and swung into a fierce charge upon the enemy. By daylight the Russians and Poles who had thought to eat E,m up were virtually annihilated.- .-WC@tminstcr Gazette.

 "Prohibition has made a prohfbi- tionist out of me-" said Robert G. Duncan, manager of the Retail Gro cers, Association of Portland, re- gently. "The grocersi are helped wonderfully in the matter of collec- tions. Men who used to duck their grocery bills are now prompt pay CTS and their families are not go- ing hungry. Personally I opposed prohibition until I saw the good it did. I can ride in my auto without fear of being rammed bE a drunker autoigt; l can go home on a street car without smelling a polluted breath or listening to some liquor laden argument. LOast year our of flee aad 100 names in the waiting list for clerkships. This year we cannot fill the vacancies. At this moment I do not know of an idle man who really longs for work. Contractors tell me they have more work than men,"
 "In 1915 I distributed over 500 garments and 9S pairs of shoes besides medicines, etc.," states Mrs. S. J. Merry, chairman Relief Committee, Rose City Park, w. c. T. U.

 The records of tbe municipal court of Portland, Oregon, show quite clearly by comparison of the first eight months of 1915 and 1916, that liquor is absolutely necessary to the successful operation of dis orderly houses and other places where crime hatches.

 In his iyo~lger days Sir Bryan Ma hon was quite q character in the army and many are the tales that are told of his daredevil reckiessness and his no less ready resourcefulness in an emer- gency.
 Once. for instance. lot of horses had to be unlOaded Ut Ismallia. There wcII no boats and t&e:e was shortage oF slings, to say nothing of gronmets, breast rirths and ell the other queer paraphernalia that disembarking off, cers delight In.
 But Mahon. who is, of course, son of Erin's isle, had seen horses disem- parked on the wild Irish coast many and many a time in rough and ready fashion, and he knew what they could do when they had to. So, while the others were discussing ways and means below decks. he simply threw these horses overheard.
 The animals promptly swan ashore, and while the horror stricken disem- barking officer was looking on aghast, too surprised even for words, Mahon ordered the trumpet for "stables" to be sounded, and every horse promptly lined up on the beach.-London Tele- grnDh.
