ARRANGING TO
HANDLE 5000
CARS MELONS

Pacific Coast fruit growers will do
their share in providing for the ma
TONS food supply and there should
be plenty of cars to handle this years
crop.
This is the cheering message sent
out by J. w. McClymonds, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the Pa
cific Fruit Express, and one of the
hest posted men in the West on hor-
ticultural conditions.
Mr.. McClymonds has just made a
survey of the situation with view of
securing all the equipment necessary
to meet the needs of the growers.
The Pacific Fruit Express Company
has 12,S00 of it's own cars and is
rushing the construction of 27OO ad-
ditional cars which will be available
shortly. In addition to this number,
tine p. F. E. people are leasing $500
Armour cars to meet the emergency.
Mr.. McClymonds estimates that the
California orange crop will be 10 per
cent more than last year, and that
the melon crop in the Imperial Valley
will run from 25 to 30 per cent heav-
icr. Turlock melons will be about the
same as last season.
Deciduous tree fruit will be about
the same as last season, by California
grapes will be much heavier.
Twenty-seven thousand cars of cit
rus fruits have been handled so far,
with the indications pointing to all
carriers loading about $4,000 cars.
The P. F. f. is getting ready to
handle the cantaloupe crop of the I'M
rerial' Valley, which will start about
May 25. The acreage has been in
creased from 1000 to $4,000. The p. F.
E. expect to handle 5000 cars. The
Turlock cantaloupes will follow.
The deciduous fruit movement will
mingle with the Southern California
cantaloupe crop. The green fruit crop
will probably call for $4,000 cars.

"YOkOhama Maid" Well Pre-
sented With Good Music
and Stage Settings.

The students of the Central Union
Figh School presented "The Yokoha-
ma Maid" last night at the Wilson
school auditorium, which was taxed to
seat the appreciative audience.
The production bore marks of care
full preparation and Industrious coach
ing on the part of the directors. For
an amateur presentation it was mucn
better than the average seen in lar
ger cities.
The character of the operetta per-
mitted gay attire and handsome stage
decorations. The players entered in
to the Oriental spirit in mannerisms
and tonal qualities. The scenes in ia
pan were reproduced with strict fl
deity to the original, which, together
with the natural aptitude of the stu
dents along histrionic lines, resulted
in finished and interesting portrayal
of life in the realm of the Mikado.
Unstinted praise was rendered the

Cecil Sharp, who is alleged to have
given A. S. Collins bad check for
$40 in payment for the latter's mo-

ONE HALF CUP
OF MILK IS
VALUABLE

Half a cup of milk-whole, skinned
or sour-a seemingly trifling matter
hardly worth the trouble to keep or
Use.
In many households, quite a little
milk is wasted-left uncovered in
glasses-regarded as useless because
the cream has been skinned off-al-
lowed to sour-poured down the sink
or thrown out.
Now, if every home-there are 20,-
100000 of them-should waste on the
average one-half cup daily, it would
lnean waste of 100000 quarts
daily-912, 100000 quarts year-the
total product of more than 100000
cows.
1t takes lot of grass and grain
t. make that much milk-and an ar
my of people to produce and deliver
it
But, every household doesn't waste
half-cup of milk day? Well, say
that one-half cup is wasted in only
cne out of hundred homes. Still
intolerable-when milk is so nutritious
when skim milk can be used in maxi
ing nutritious soups and cereal dishes
when sour milk can be used in bread
.making or for cottage cheese.

STRONG At IMPERIAL

Last nights card at the Imperial
Athletic Club proved one of the Lest
of the season, the main event between
Sailor Ed Petroskey and Bill Ja"kson
bringing out roars of approva. from
the crowded hall. Petroskey won, but
there was admiration for Jackson for
the manner in which he stood up un..
der a terrific hammering by Pc
troskey.
Petroskey never knocked Jackson
down, but hit him dozen blows that
would have felled an OK. Jackson re-
ceived gruelling in the frs. round
and it looked as if he would go out
for the count, but the rest brought
him back strong and from that on
Ms naged to get in telling blow now
and then on Petroskey's mouth. There
is not much chance for Jackson to
beat Petroskey, but it is worth the
admission to see the African stand
up before the battering blows Of the
sailor.
Baby Blue lost on foul to Fon

Blue had floored him.

comes from the state.
