handling and for some delay in transit
As general rule, therefore, canta-
loupes should be picked Just before
they reach the full-slip stage. Such
melons possess not only the desirable
eating quality, but also the necessary
carrying quality.
The keeping and carrying qualities
of cantaloupes are directly dependent
on the care exercised to prevent me-
chanical injuries in harvesting and
preparation for shipment.
Use Care in Packing.
During the operation of packing.
melons should be placed carefully in
the crates, and not dropped or tossed
into place, as is frequently done In
jury caused by squeezing can be pre-
vented if packers are careful not to
force in diversified melons when fin
fishing the crates.
The reduction of serious market
losses from over-ripe and decayed mel
ons is dependent to a large extent
upon the pFomptness with which they
are placed under refrigeration. They
should be loaded Immediately in iced
hauled from packing shed TO the car
loading platform. should be covered
to protect them from the sun.
Catalogues should preferably not
be wrapped They do not refrigerate
so we'll in transit nor do they reach
the consumer in so good condition as
unwrapped melons. Loading different
types of packages may obstruct air cir
cuIation and thus seriously retard re-
frigeration. In cars equipped with
these racks, as we'll as basket bunk
ers. salt may be effectively employed
TO hasten refrigeration. The ability
of refrigerator cars TO cool melon ship
ments quickly and to maintain desir-
able temperatures in transit depends
directly upon proper bunker and bulk
head construction, and upon the guam
uty and quality of the insulating ma
terial used.

CARE
 FOR GRAVES

In civilized countries there is on duty more sacred than respect for the dead and proper care of, their graves. Remembering this and fol- lowing a custom of many years standing, a committee of Spanish War Bishop Camp, recently visited the following cemeteries and filled in with sod and earth. and otherwise conditioned, the graves of Spanish War Veterans buried there: Noun tain Grove, Park, 'Lakeview. St. Augustine's, St. Michaers, Stratford and Fairfield.
 The graves especially attended to were those who had no known rela- uves, as the cemetery rules in some to De mounded, etc, where relatives are knoown and accessible, as they might feel that such attentions were an intrusion Metal flag markers will be placed in position shortly on every grave not now having one and on the Sunday before Memorial Day flags and flowers will also be placed on them A few grave stones were found to be loose and one had toppled over. These were carefully replaced and firmly set in place.
 The cemetery committee of Bishop Camp are desirous of getting in touch with anyone who knows of a grave of any spanish War Veteran in this vii cinfty, not properly marked or cared for. A neat white marble headstone with particulars of birth, service dur ing the Spanish War and date of death, may be obtained and placed in position free of charge on the grave of any Spanish War Veteran upon production of the veterans discharge papers and application through proper channels. Such graves will always ibe cared for and decorated with flags and flowers each year by Bishop Camp, United Spanish War Veterans.
 The committees for each cemetery are as follows: MoOutnain Grove and Fairfield, Joseph J. Boyne, S2 Washintgon avenue; J. w Albert, 161 Hazlewood avenue; Albert V. Des Marais. 2G WOodmont avenue, and Benjamin Stewart, 1864 Iranistan avenue. Park cemetery, I. P. Besser, 43 North avenue; John F. Bowling 168 Lind1ey street.

WANTS GREATER AMERICAN TRADE
 IN FAR EAST

Cleveland, O., May 13-Aggressive furtherance of American trade inter ests in the Far East was advocated by M A. Oudin, of the International General Electric Company, in an ad- dress before the eighth convention of the National Foreign Trade Council here today. MT. Oudin said in part:
 The markets of the Far East con stitute the worlds greatest conmer- cial prize If American business ex- poets successful to compete with oth- CT nations 1t must exert 1tSef pr1rnar- fly in three directions. First, it must freely cooperate with native business in local enterprises; second, it must hberaIly invest its surplus capital in the development of industries, natural resources and public works; and finally. it must insist that American Economic interest be upheld by an American diplomacy as alert and viz orous as that displayed by other gov ernments-
 ..In carrying out this program, Chinese business should be made Dartner in investments we make III Chinese resources and enterprlSes TOT the public good; Siberian business should participate in legitimate con sessions we may secure for the open ing up of Russia's great wealth; ana Japanese business should be asked to cooperate.
 .'If American business men are to withstand the increasing competition of the other commercial nations in the Far East, it is not sufficient that they should finance that trade. They must take an active part in the an dustriaI and commercial life or the Far East They must invest also III government loans for the economic up- building of the countries there. Such an opportunity may soon be onereu by the group of American and Tor eien bankers known as the Consor- tium.
 If American business men seek the diplomatic support of their govern ment in order that they may be piac- ed on an equal footing with thelr connections abroad, a reciprocal ob- Igation exists to support the foreign policies of the government necessary 10 make this action effective.

One Man Had Big Income.

Washington.-Onem man in the Unit
ed States had an income Of more than
s5,000,OO0 in 1918, according to sta
tistics made public by the commits
sioner of internal revenue Monday.
The identity of this Millionaire was not
disclosed, the commissioner explaining
that the law requires that returns be
held confidential
In 1917 there were four individuals
in the United States who paid tax on
incomes in excess of s5,000,000. Their
combined net income was s57 100000,
about s14,25O,OOO each, and the aver
age amount Of tax paid by each Of
these individuals was s4,937,731. It is
probable the 1918 Millionaire paid

HARD TO EXPLAIN POISONING
Some Animals Are Fatal and
Others Innocuous.

Scientists in Great Britain have
been greatly interested IN the recent
case of monkey bite resulting In the
death of the king of Greece says a
London dispatch. The result Is that
q study Is being made Of the effects of
bites from various animals. Inasmuch
as the monkey is what Is known as a
"clean feeder" it seems extraordinary
that the bite of such an animal should
produce the fatal poisoning of a hui
man being.
1t does not, however, appear that
the malignancy Of an animals bite
can be measured by what it feeds
upon. A dog is carnivorous crea-
ture, yet its bite seldom produces seri-
Gus results, while on the other hand
the bite of horse or a donkey fire.
quently results in poisoning. Only
few weeks ago woman died from
being bitten by donkey, while a man
lost a hand through being nipped on

AMOUNT GERMANY
WILL HAVE TO PAY
Allies Agree on Bill to Pre-
sent Germany for Attack
On World.

Paris-The session Of the commit
tee of experts Of the allied supreme
council ended at 1890 o'clock Satur-
day morning, after having reached a
complete agreement on the system of
annual payments OF reparations by
Germany and annuities on Germany 8
foreign trade.
The project in it's final form, when
approved by the supreme council. will
be submitted to Germany FOR accept
ance as an agreement outside of
article 233 of the peace treaty, which
entrusts the reparations committee
with the task of fixing the amount
of the indemnity. Then another con-
ference will be called to which the
Germans will be invited.
The proposed scheme provides for
the payment of annuities of sliding
scale from 2,O00,000,000 to 6,000,00O,-
900 gold marks over period Of prob
ably AZ years, and also 1212 per cent
ad valorem tax on German exports,
cording to Germany's increasing pros
perity.
The supreme couEcil's experts ten
tative agreement on the subject of
provides:
Germany will be required to pay
$4S6, 900, 900 annually for a certain Pc
riod; then $972O00,O0O annually over
another designated period; then ST.
100000 annually over a third pc
riod The entire time for these pay
ments will approximate AZ years, as
the Bou!ogne agreement provided,
In addition to the annuities the al
lies will collect 121a per cent of the
value of all German exports during the
full period.
Thus the French demand to share
in any increased prosperity in Ger
many as reflected by the nations ex
ports was realized and the French OBJ
jections against naming a fixed grand
total to be collected were met.
Although it was not officially stated,
1t is believed that Germany will be
required to pay $4S6, 100000 annually
for five years, $972,OOO,OOO for five
years and $1,458,OOO,OOo annually for
80 years.
This gives a grand total of German
reparation over a period of AZ years Of
