Honey-dew melons have arrived on
the local market. Sounds like the
food of nymphs and fairies, but
they're intended as food for regular
human beings. They are large as
cantaloupes, smooth-shelled and
white. They are cross between
pineapples. cucumbers. cantaloupes
and casawba melons. They are very
sweet and come from California. You
can acquire title to one for 40 or 50
cents.
Bluebcrries, nice, big ones, are on
the market, coming from the wilds Of
Michigan.
Blackberries and red raspberries are
on the down grade.
Cherries and currants are nearly
gone. Strawberries and gooseberries
have vanished.
But other things have come to take
their places and gladden. the taste of
men. Here are Bartlett pears, big
and sound, from California.
And here are grapes. Malaga grapes,
from the vineyards of California.
Peaches are here, both from Texas
and California. They won't be very
plentiful this year because in most
places there is either no crop or only
half crop. Plums are plentiful.
New apples are getting more abun-
dant every day, not good for eating so
early in the season, but fine for pies
and apple sauce.

MISSOURI PACIFIC
PLEADS POVERTY
Claims Cant Make Both Ends
Meet Under the Two Cent
Fare Law.
STATE FIGHTlAa THE CASE

Pleading poverty and nonsupport,
the Missouri Pacific railroad is pre-
senting its case before Frank H.
Gaines, as referee, and an array OF
legal talent and railway commission
ers in the federal building.
]. A. c. Kennedy, attorney for the
Missouri Pacific, won victory for
his road several months ago, when he
secured a temporary Injunction pre-
venting the enforcement Of the state
2-cent fare law on the Missouri Pa
ci6c's 800 miles of road in Nebraska,
claiming the road wasn't making
money. Since then this road has been
charging 3 cents mile.
The present hearing is to secure a
permanent injunction. Attorney Gen
eral Willis E. Reed. with his assistant
Charles S. Roe, and State Railway
Commissioners Hall and Taylor and
the commissions expert, Powell, are
guarding the interests Of the state

Bailey Waggoner of Atkinson, Kan
are presenting the case of the rail
road.
Testimony introduced by the rail.
road was that it has lost money in
Nebraska in many years; for exam
pie, $2l8,737 in 1914 and $lS9,3O4 III
1915. "
Claims Operating Loss.
The road states that for every 81
received from passenger traffic in Ne
braska it pays out $l.0S for operating
that traffic. ...
Controversy arose between the road
auditor and Expert Powell, on the
manner of writing off depreciation
The auditor stated that on a car cost
ing, for example, $4,000, a certain sum
is charged up to passenger expenses
each year for depreciation. Wher
this depreciation fund reaches the
cost of the car it stops. II the car Il
rebuilt the rebuilding expense is also
added to the passenger traffic ex'
pense account.
1t was held by the state that thi:
was not proper because the car ir
many cases is still in existence ant
an asset after its total cost has beer
written off.

Auto Hits Train;
Occupants Saved :,

Mrs. Elmer Weber, wife of Sarpy
county farmer, living few miles
south of papillion, had a remarkable
escape from death or serious injury
Thursday afternoon when she and
her two children attempted to drive
their machine across the Rock Island
tracks ahead of an eastbound passen-
ger train.
The fore part of the machine was
struck by the speeding engine and
the hood was wrenched loose and
thrown seventy feet. The car and
its occupants were spilled into a gully
at the side of the track.
Mrs. Weber and her family were
returning home from Papillion.
An embankment hides the approach
of a train from the west, and not
hearing the whistle Mrs. Weber, who
was driving, started to cross.
All three we're thrown clear of the
demolished vehicle and landed in the
water and soft mud.
Aside from minor injuries and a
severe shock and fright, the trio was
uninjured. The machine was a total
wreck.
