CHI COST OF MELONS
IN ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY
Two Water MeIons Bring S. 90 On
Farm Near Annapolis.

Two gentlemen who paid S. for two
watermelons yesterday, are today
talking about the high cost of living in
Anne Arundel county. and thereby
hangs q tale.
Both are well known and own a
fine horse and carriage, in which they
were driving leisurely along the Bay
Ridge road in the moonlight Satur-
day night, or early Sunday morning,
when they espied a watermelon patch
with large and lucious melons plant
ed temptingly along the edge Of the
roadside
1t is by far a too temptation"
place for watermelons, especially
these Of the Anne Arundel variety.
The gentlemen in the buggy viewed
the large crop" so near the public
highway that they seemed TO be call
ing loudly to the rays OF the resplend-
ent harvest moon to the passersby,
Come. pick me! Come pick me"
and this is just what the two gentle
men did
They simply could not resist those
watermelons, and alighted from the
buggy, went to the patch, leaving their
horse standing in the roadway. Upon
their return, each laden with a huge
watermelon, they were greeted with
a gentleman and gun. He had tied
their horse to a telegraph pole and
accused them of taking mis- water
melons. They said they meant no
harm. but he argued with them that
the price of those melons was SIS for
two. and they must either produce the
Y or he would not release their horse
and buggy one OF the men walked
back toward Eastport and borrowed
the five dollars from farmer, not
having that much money with him,
and the owner of the melon patch
got his so for two Anne Arundel
watermelons, while the two men pro-
ceeded on their way declaring they
would see Hoover and help him
knock the "h" out of the cost of liv-
ing if watermelons in Anne Arundel
snll for $3.50 piece.
Moral: Don't attempt to take
watermelons growing along the side
Of public roads. The owner may be
looking on from behind bush or tree
with gun ready to shoot.

 FOOLISH ACTION

Orvil l. Pettijohn. the young man in ured near Roosevelt dam where Hobart Young was killed late Thursday. has been brought to Phoenix and is at the Deaconess hospital where the medical battle to save his life is on. Blinded by the dynamite explosion which killed Young. the survivor has told the story of the foolish escapade which has al- ready cost one life and may cost two.
 It seems that Young came down the road near the dam with q stick of dy- namite In each pocket. He called to PettijOhn, who was checking labor, to come with him and the two crossed the river. There Young attached a short fuse to one stick of dynamite and threw il towards the water. where he wanted to explode it. Knowing lttle of high explosives he had too short a fuse and the dynamite exploded in mid d-air, the concussion setting off the other stock in Young's pocket and literally blew him to bits The explosion terribly burned Pettijohn and he may lose his sight even if he survives
