MONEY IN MELONS!
SURE, SAYS FRITzY
Waco Man Has Motto Guar antesd
To Win, If Directions Are
Followed Closely

Coleman Fritz, resident of Waco, /
is bringing on an average of 100 wa
termelons to town every day and real
izing from Is to So cents apiece. He
has little more than four acres of |
this variety of melon, which he. de-
clares is making him famous, and |
about two acres of canteloupe3. He |
says he expects close to $1,000 for the
entire crop when disposed of. The
canteloupes sell for 81 and $1.50 per
dozen, and the task of selling them
simply comprises taking them to
town. says Fltz, who declared that
his product cannot Re excelled, if
equalled. 4 .Ss
Il knew there was money in mel
ons in Kentucky, and l have, been
working at it for several years and
when 1 have once made the rounds for
the summer, l am good until the end
of the season." he stated, land never
nave to go far to dispose of my load"
Fritz declared there was money in
melons, and stated that this is his
ing out melons for more than three
years in Richmond and vicinity, with
the result that he has little farm
with his name on it, as he explains
1T, and is one of those ardent boosters
and hard working fellows who make
things count. His product is said to
be most reasonable in the way of
price, and his manner of trading de-
monstrates that money can be made
in melons in Kentucky, as well as
other things on the farm. Fritz has
Z. motto which he follows with a ven
geance, and apparently is able to
prove the practicability of it. 1t runs
like this: "Take a few acres right
here in Kentucky, and good man not
afraid of work, and if he does not
have bank account and a fam with
his name on it with a few years,
there's something wrong"

Mata is capable of administering an
opponent, is the big question before
the fans of Imperial Valley this after

mixup at the El Centre Arena tonight.
Woods is one of the best liked boys
in the Valley, and Brawley being his
home, that town has promises to be on
deck in large numbers.
Mata is confident of victory, real
izing youth to be an asset. While on
the other hand he has been within the
four cornered ring great many times
during the course of his career, in
fact long enough to win the amateur
far Western championship.
Woods is an old timer in the ropes
and has met some of the best boys ir
the country, but he is retired wal
horse as far as future in the ring is
concerned. He VII attempt a comback
nevertheless and good bout will re-
suit.
