DISCUSS PAVING IF GRAND AVENUE IN
 GLENDALE LIMITS

GLENDALE, Aug. 24.-A special meeting of the Glendale town council was held this afternoon to discuss the possibilities of paving Grand avenue. within the city limits, to connect the city paving, for which a contract has been let, with the beginning Of the state highway at the creamery.
 The distance between the two points is about half a mile, and it is estl- mated that it would require approxf- mately $15,000 to lay standard 1s- foot roadway for this distance The state engineer has stated that, 1T asked, he would request federal aid for this project, so that the city would have to raise but $500 as it's share. This could be raised by creating an as- sessment district on either side of the proposed improvement, or by assess ing the property abutting on the road way
 The council is anxious to work out some method whereby this stretch of Grand avenue passing through the city limits can be paved, so that there would be an unbroken paved road through the town after the city paving is laid and the Glendale Marinette road is built, as the state highway de- partment has announced that 1t expects to start work on the Glendale Phoenix road. with the aid of state and fed eral funds, in the near future.

 Mrs. E. 5. Clark. wife of one of the candidates for the Republican nom ination for United States senator. in behalf of the candidacy of her hus- band. Mrs. Clark states that the for mer attorney general is meeting with encoura cement wherever he goes, but that his friends are not blind to the fact that. because of a new alignment in the situation, resulting from the en- trance of a fourth candidate in the race, it will require earnest efforts on their part between now and the date Of the primaries, to lay all the facts of the situation before the voters in order that they may make a proper choice.
 Real Estate Becoming Active
 Despite the fact that there is a no- ticeable midsummer lull in business. local real estate men report that in- quiries for town and country property are becoming more numerous every day. Among recent sales consun- mated in this immediate vicinity are the sale of two 20-acre tracts. the sale of one 40-acre ranch, the trading of two city houses for a 5-acre ranch and. one of the highest priced sales made recently, the sale of an improved 20 acres at s1 900 an acre.

GLENDALE, Aug. 23.-While the re- gently closed cantaloupe season Tn InlS district was not as satisfactory, rom point of production, as some former seasons, owing to aphis developing toward the close of the season, caus- ing some loss of melons on the third settings, returns from the pools Indi- cate a very satisfactory market con- dition to growers for the crop market ed. prices having held fi~m through out the shipping season.
 In contrast to this, recent reports to the Glendale District Commercial club from other cantaloupe-growing districts would seem to indicate that growers in those sections producing later crops than does the Salt River valley are not meeting with very good success either with their crops or prices.
 For instance, a late report from the bureau of markets. U- $. department of agriculture. has the following to say concerning crop and market condi- tions in the cantaloupe centers:

NEEDED A THOROUGH SOUsING

held a christening in a New Jersey
town on the banks of the Delaware
river. where a dozen or more converts
were assembled, awaiting their turns
to be immersed. Among them was a
hackman, who evinced lively inter-
est in the ceremony.
"Why does the good DOCTOR" he
asked of a fellow convert. duck some

a deep bass voice
"Jess baptize me Tom that's 'nufr,"
the candidate replied, as the evangeI-
list, taking him none too gently by the
neck, piloted him far out into the
stream, where he ducked him not once
bur half a dozen times with such ra-
pidity and vigor that few minutes
later the hackhan found himself on
the shore, coughing. suffering and
fighting for breath. The ceremony was
soon over, and when he had recovered
his strength he made his way to the
