Just a Few Trains of Melons.

In this far stretching. populous,

things in big way, even in the mat
ter of table delicacies, and we do
them fast.
Down In the southernmost part OF
California in the Imperial Valley. not
so long ago a burning desert. now
made Garden Of Eden by irrigation,
the cantaloupe season this year was
ten days late as compared with last
year and about a week late taken
with the average. And with choice
products raised on a grand scale to
get to the nations breakfast table
ahead of the cheap common garden
variety span Of ten days in a
short. intensely competitive season
is an age.
The Imperial Valley golden har-
vest of cantaloupes, following the
first car shipped by express on the
last day of May, has to get to market
in a rush to the extent of $4,000
carloads.
Now, $4,000 carloads, with as many
as thirty cars to a train. would mean
more than 400 trains in a string.
But refrigerator cars called upon to
travel at high speed don't make up
into trains like common freight cars.
Yet even if they run twenty-five cars
to the train, $4,000 carloads require
more than 500 trainsg
And If they got trainload Of mel
ons away from the Imperial Valley
every hour Of the night and day 1t
would take three weeks of such
strings of trains loaded with the
cantaloupes to clear up the Imperial
Valley rush crop.
That's the way we do it and have
to do it in this country to get away
with it.

A Plea That His Good Qualities
BE Remembered.

To The NEW YORK HERALD: read
with great interest letter addressed to
your paper ard published under tho cap
tion '"rhe Noble Red Man." Having
spent q number Of years In many parts
Of the West and having come in contact
at frequent intervals with the Indian. I
feel that the impression conveyed by
your correspondent is more or less err
roneous.
There is a fast vanishing group o:
old timers. men who while being roble,
brave, generous and kind hearted. have
an inbred hatred for the indian.
have known several Of these strange
characters aud have had them frankly
confess that they shot down and killed
Indians at various times simply because
they were Indians and therefore were
to be killed much as one would kill a
make. They were not In the Least
ashamed of these deeds. and one man
IN particular who had been a gun
fighter and killed both white and red
men, kept tally Of his killings on the
butt of his gun, but only Of the white
men he had dropped. His Indian VIC
tins II tailed would have whitfield tn
butt away.
At present there are many people WIN
regard the Indian as a demon Of cruelty
dirty wretch who is never good till
dead. They feel that he Is incapable OF
human emotion and that his morals. K
he has any, are not to be spoken about
IL polite society.
They are wrong. The Indian. while
believing In several gods, accepted the
belief In Supreme Being. He also be-
lieved IN the life hereafter and tina, his
soul would rise to immortality should
his behavior on earth so warrant The
Eoblest Indian virtue was courage and
he believed that bodily cleanliness was
necessity. He honored his .athe- and
his mother. He believed in peace when
i.eace was possible. and let US remembe
that the frst white men were welcomed
to this country. and that It was tn.
whites who broke the truce.

To THE NEW YoRx HERALD: Upon re-
turning from a close inspection of the
Washington and Lincoln memorials,
filled with a sense of their import, my
attention was called to the editorial
article in THE NEW YORK HERALD en-
titled "a Hall of Fame for Women"
This editorial. inspired by a Chilean
womans request for the names of Amer
ican women who stand for actual
achievement. should be of deep interest
to the American public.
Our Chilean visitor wishes for the
benefit OF her country women to write
of American women who owe their sue
cess to their own efforts. with a presen-
tation of the obstacles encountered by
each and the ways in which these OBJ
stacles were overcome"
This timely and legitimate request de-
mands statistical records which cannot
be refuted. In this connection should
like to call attention to the large church.

letter which 1 have sent to the Ameri-

WEDNESDAY. JUNE IA. 1922.
Flag Day.

When our flag was born it existed
only in spirit and in law. No ban
ner of stars and stripes was unfurled
on June IA, 1777. when the Continen-
to: Congress adopted JOHN ADAMs's
resolution providing that the flag of
the thirteen United States shall be
thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white; that the union be thirteen
stars, white on a blue field, repre-
senting a new constellation" Some
believe that messenger hurried from
Philadelphia to Bound Brook. where
WASHINGTON was encamped. with
copy of the resolution and that a
flag of the official design flew over
the Generals headquarters the next
morning. 1t is more likely that the
sun never shone on the American
flag until August, when the Yankees
of Fort Stanwix celebrated the vic
tory of Oriskany by hosting the ma
tional colors, which they fashioned
out of a white shirt, some strips or
red flannel and thirteen star shaped
scraps cut from an old blue jacket.
Now, 145 years afterward, every
corner of the earth knows the flag.
1t has gone long way. 1t was the
first standard to reach the North
Pole. It is raised in the extremes OF
Alaska. 1t flies as far south as the
Straits of Magellan over our consul
ate at Punta Arenas in Chile. Go
eastward and you find it on the
Rhine Half the peoples Of Europe
have seen 1t as our soldiers carried 1t
past them. Go further east and you
find it in the Philippines and the
South Seas. 1t fiutters over our pos
sessions In the Caribbean and on the
Isthmus. II has gone further than
Rome carried her eagles, and II Will
stay longer where it has been raised
Rome was a power and not nation;
we are a nation first and a power
afterward. The eagles meant impe-
rialism; the flag means democracy.
The eagles we're the symbol of the
ambition of ten thousand; the flag is
the sign of the unity of ten thousand
times ten thousand.
The flag is a pennant of pride. 1t
never reminds us Of the errors of the
past. but only of the glories. 1t
speaks of Yorktown, Gettysburg,
Chateau Thierry. 1t is banner OF
hope. When statesmen fail, when
cheap politicians succeed. when there
are hard times or discomfort. the flag
tells us that these are passing
troubles; that it will remain and that
all it stands for will return.
This is an old world, and there
have been many different flags in
it since mankind first adopted the
banner as the symbol of nationalism.
But there has never been a flag to
which so many of the downtrodden
and poor have turned for freedom
and prosperity as have turned to the
flag we honor to-day.
