About ten days ago N. M. Nestle
rode was in town and left IS grain
sacks at the Browns feed yard to be
called for later. When he called for
them he found that some one had
beat him to it and there were no
sacks for him. Nels for the past 30
Or more years has been a corre-
spondent for The Times and knew
that almost anything could be had by
inserting an advertisement in this pa
per. Accordingly he put few lines
requesting the parties that had his
sacks to please leave them at his
place a few miles east, OF town. The
next night he heard an automobile
pass his house and the next morning
there was his 10 sacks. He hurried
to town and ordered the ADVERTISE
ment discontinued before it brought
more sacks as 10 was all that he had
use for at this time.
J. S. Brown and son, Omar, the
champion watermelon raisers of
Bates county, certainly know the way
to the printers heart. Saturday they
left at this office one of their cele-
brated Elsie Lee watermelons. Any
one who has been SO unfortunate as
to never having sampled an Elsie Lee
melon can have no idea of just how
good a watermelon can be. Several
years ago the Browns, who have Ions
been watermelon raisersI conceived
/ the idea of melon that would be at
once sweet, 'delicately Favored and
at the same time symmetrical. They
commenced crossing the different
varieties and when finally they had
reached as near perfection as pos
sible they gave the new melon the
name of Elsie Lee, in honor of Mrs.
T. K. Stout, their daughter and sis
ter. On their farm south of town
they have two acres planted in these
melons and they estimate that on the
melons. They are selling the Elsie
Lees at I I-2c per pound.
