CANTAL0UPE HARVEST
MATERIALLY REDUCED

The cantaloupe harvest in the Ark
ansas valley is, by comparison, slim
This season. The acreage was suf-
ficient. but the elements have serious
ly interferred. There was hail in a
few sections which damaged crops.
Tho over-abundance of rain did not
give the fields sufficient sunshine.
Weeds grew fast and it was hard to
keep the fields clean. and then rust
set in in many places and gave some
fields the final killing blow. There
are, however, some good fields left
and the harvests from them will be
good, and possibly profitable, but not
to any great extent with the freight
rates high and labor organized to ex-
act high rate for packing. A few
days ago crate makers and packers
set their price at nine cents per crate.
4 charge much too high according to
growers and shippers, and much OF
the foreign labor set their standard
at fifty cents per hour for common
labor work. If those prices had to
be paid, so one big grower stated. MS
crop could remain in the fields, for
he could not afford to take chance
on getting enough out of the melons
to pay the costs.
Pink meat melons are ripening
here now and some good ones nave
come in but the outcome of the nary

tied. however. by white men until
nearly one hundred and seventy
five years later. when the
French In Louisisna sent out an
expedition to Investigate the re-
mote portions of what was then
their territory. Most of the pres

of the Louisiana Purchase and
SO passed from French hands
to the United States In 1903.
A small additional part was
later added in 1850. being ceded
by Texas.
The Lewis and Clark party
traversed this region in 1904,
and Lieutenant Pike passed
through Kansas two years later.
Kansas history really becomes
interesting In the middle Of the
century, when the slavery agita-
tion gave 1t the name Of "Bleed-
ing Kansas" It had been an un-
organized territory since 1921.
at which time 1t had been con-

cooperating the town. There are
303 people within what will be the
corporate limits of tho town which
Is more than there were in Ordway or
Olney Springs when these two towns
were Incorporated.
Many of the residents of Crowley
feel that khe town should be incorpor-
ated now that it has grown to such a
size and because of the necessity of
the maintenance of certain public i'm

OVER THE HILL

"Just over the hill the fields are always greener."
 Human nature is so constituted that it is never satisfied. It immag- ines that what it cannot see just over the ridge may be more attractive than it's own drab surroundings.
 But human nature and all else is pretty much alike the world over. kip4ing's observation of "my land'' and "her maid" is based upon the fundamental truth.
 Discomfort breeds discontent. It is courageous. One man dissatisfied with his home town can quickly spread the disease. --.
 The thing to do is to cultivate a spirit of content. Plug for your home town. It has as many good points as any other home town.
 Be optimistic and booster and one will be surprised how soon all mor- bid longings after the things just over the hill will pass away.-June Capital.

Some people figure paint economy as "cost per gallon" That is wrong. For "cheap" paint doesn't cover so much surface-you buy more gallons. "Cheap" paint is harder to spread and youhave more labor cost. So the "cheap" paint on the house costs just as much as the best of paint.
 Don't allow surfaces to rot-it costs Jess to paint them.
 Cheap" paint on the average starts cracking in twelve months while the best paint stays intact from five to ten times longer, if properly applied. Figure the cost per year of serUice and decide which paint you want to use.

ministration bill granting wide powers
to the treasury secretary in the fund
ing operations afforded "the best and
most practicable manner of handling
the matter"
A majority of the committee agreed
with Secretary Mellon, the report
stated, that in the case of the prin-
cipal foreign governments receiving
advance from the proceeds of Lib
erty bonds, the United States is COM
mitted to the postponement of the in
terest for two or three years lover
two years of which have elapsed), and
also to the spreading over subsequent
years of the payment of the post
poned interest installment and not to
charge interest on the postponed in
terest, at least during the two or three
years period"
The purpose of the bill is described
as ito give the secretary Of the treas
ury with the approval Of the president,
ample power to enable him, when the
condition of each debtor country shall
have been definitely ascertained and
the claims of all parties interested
shall have been presented, to deal
with the situation promptly and broad
ly in such a way as will in his judg-
ment best protect the interest of the
United States and secure the payment
of the principal and interest of the
debts now owing to it.
The report declared it was not the
purpose of Secretary Mellon ito &C
cept any German bonds. unless it be
come necessary or desirable to do sc
in some now unforeseen special cases.
The minority report declared thai
the inevitable effect of the granting
of such authority would be to weaker
| the hands of the treasury head anc
| subject him to the threats and cajol
cry of trained negotiators.
