A wee patch OF melons at the
Graham horticultural experiment
station. controlled by the state, gave
a bumper yield this year.
There were various kinds OF mel

patch across which an agile man
might easily leap produced 500 good
sized melons as we'll as scores Of
smaller ones.
The station Is only in its third
year and most of the experiments
undertaken must cover a long per-

j. S. MAY RELEASE
DEBS FROM PRISON
With Peace Declaration, Hard
ing May Give Socialist
Partial Pardon.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 24.-Eugene
V. Debs or Indiana, the imprisoned
leader OF the socialist Iarty. Is near
ing the end OF his confinement at
the Atlanta penitentiary, according
TO the belief prevailing here today
P-es't Harding's action on the
pardon appeal is believed to be i'm
minent.
Soon after the exchange OF the
ratification Of the peace treaty by
Washington and Berlin. the presi-
dent will issue a proclamation that
the United States Is once more at
peace with the whole wrold. Action
in the Debs' case is expected TO fol-
low speedily.
Atty. Gen. Daugherty has submit
ted his recomrn endations 10 the
president and these have been ap-
proved except for some minor
changes as to phraselogy.
Partial Pardon Likely.
The decision in the Debs case is
closely guarded, It is believed GER
tain that the socialist leader will
gain his liberty. In no official quar-
ter Is it suggested that there will be
a full presidential pardon with its
restoration OF civil rights, but in
stead a commutation that will allow
him to recuIerate his broken health
outside prison walls.
Debs has served about one-fourth
OF hiS 10 year term for violation OF
the espionage -rct. He has been a
model prisoner and the reports on
his conduct from the PRISON authori-
ties have had no small effect in inf1u-
encing officials here to extend Glenn
ency.
A general cleaning up Of the par
don slate will probably follow.
