living for our fellows the world over

been done when the roads were not
as good as now.-Centerville Outlook.
Kenneth News: "The shipping of
watermelons started in this county
Tuesday of this week with two cars
sold that day by the Southeast Mis-
souri, Melon Growers Association
These cars brought $3.50, considerably
more than prices offered fer those
loaded by independent shippers
The car sold Wednesday was taken at
1915. These cars were 26 to % pound
average and were weighed, graded
and loaded according to the rules OF
the association. The price paid was
the top offered for that grade oil
melons that day."
