DIRTY DEAL FOR
THE MELON GROWERS

Mr.. Nathan Mayo sends US the fol-
lowing clipping from the New York
Packer:
Atlanta, Ga, April 21.-At a meet
ing of freight agents of southeastern
roads held here Tuesday, it was given
out that a surety bond guaranteeing,
or preparing in cash, freight charges
on melons shipped to northern mar
kets will be required this season.
Bond can be filed with either the orig
mating or delivery line.
This action upon the part of the
railroads may be expected to gradual
ly divert the watermelon distribution
business to very limited number of
firms whose bonds may be approved
by the railroads. Indeed the inference
could be drawn that the railroad Off
cials took this step so that they might
have big say in the distribution and
routings of the cars. Small local
shippers and associations will un-
doubtedly find it difficult to put up the
necessary bonds or prepay the freight
in cash in advance. Very few of them
have the money before shipment with
which to pay. Consequently the roads
action in making this demand may
cause these local people to be like
Barkis in a state of willingness to
"listen" when a istributor-whose
bond has been approved by the rail
road officials and who is willing to
concede the routings to the roads
appears on the ground to get sigma
lures on the dotted line for the dis
tribution of watermelon crops. No
charges have been made that any of
fcers of any of the railroads expect
to receive graft money for thus help
ing those distributors whose bonds
have been approved to line up water
melon tonnage; and an intimation to
that effect would, of course, be IN
kind, uncalled for and wholly out of
place. Railroad men are too high
class to stoop to that level for they
are honest and square. They are also
very clever business men, and they
are also far-sighed in their calcula-
tions for obtaining the long hauls and
other monetary advantages for their
individual roads.
Granting that here has been nc
aim in taking this action but to play
safe by practically getting money ir
advance, the ultimate result may in
time be to concentrate the watermelon
business in southeastern states tc
practically a trust or an air-tight
proposition unless receivers in the big
consuming markets take a hand and
offer encouragement to the small local
associations and individual shippers
who are not able to prepay or guar
antee freight charges in advance OF
shipment. 1t will be noted that the
bond can be filed with either the orig.
mating or delivery line.
A survey of melon districts in Flor.
ida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi
Louisiana and the Carolinas recently
taken shows averages in the entire
South have been increased and pros
poets are good for bumper crop.

THE ENCYCLOPEDIA

Editor Star: Here is a brief history
OF Clara Barton: Born in Oxford,
Mass, in 1921; philanthropist, founder
of the Red Cross. She opened the first
public school in Bordentown, N. j.,
with six pupils, and had 600 when she
left. In 1854 she became clerk in the
U. S. patent Office. During the civil
war she devoted herself to the care of
wounded soldiers on the battlefield and
in hospitals and was employed by
President Lincoln in the search for
missing soldiers. When the Franco
German war broke out in 1860 she be-
come identified with the International
Red Cross Society in the care of SOL
diers. Upon her return to the United
States she was instrumental in organ
izing the American Red Cross Society
in 1881. In 1888, at the request of
the U. S. Senate, she prepared the his
tory of the Red Cross and the next
year she represented the United
States in the Red Cross conference at
Geneva, Switzerland. She rendered
valuable service in Cuba during the
Spanish-American war in 1898. She
took active part in various women's
movements, and was an earnest advo-
cate in temperance, equal suffrage and
better social conditions for young
women. She died in 1912.

cities. Domenico Colombo appears
with his wife, Susanna Fontenarossa
and their children, Christopher and
Pellegrino. Furthermore, a most sig
nificant document has been produced,
dated August 25, 1479, in which Chris
topher Columbo attests under oath
of age, and this, combined with an
other document, proves him to have
been born in the fall of 1451, thus rem
dering his birth in Pontevedra unten-
able.
Despite this, however, the Spanish
theory is not demolished. For, the
Identification of our Columbus with
the young man who was twenty-seven
years old in 1479, involves belying
every statement that Columbus made
about his early career. He cannot
have sailed for twenty three years
prior to his appearance on the Iberian
Peninsula, which he constantly reiter-
ates. He could not have crossed, as he
puts it, all the known seas, and it was
absurd for him to have written that
for over forty years he had studied
the secrets of nature. What possible
motive could he have had to pretend
an exaggerated old age? Surely Ber-
naldez, who knew him intimately,
could have no motive in ascribing an
age of seventy years to his friend, if
the latter died at the age Of fifty-four
or five.
There is, therefore, much to be said
in favor of there having been more
than one Christopher Columbus trav-
cling hetwean Genoa and Savona nre
cisely as we must assume that the
Christobo de Colon who appears in
the archives at Pontevedra in 1896
was another person. If this be so, the
Pontevedra theory is again a posi-

bility, calling however for more con-
less abstract reasoning to raise it
from it's position in the realm of bril-
liant hypothetical conjecture.
Has such evidence been brought
before the Investigating commits
sion of the Spanish Government? 1t is
not to be assumed that all the needed
documents are still in existence, or
will even be forthcoming. Complete
detailed records dating back four and
half centuries are not to be expected
in place like Pontevedra. Documents
of the greatest value, whose worth
was recognized contemporaneously
have been lost. How much more so
records which at the time could have
had no special significance. But every
additional link strengthens the chain
and who can tell what results may
after all be produced by an organized,
systematic search at the hand of COM
petent Investigators. We may look,
report of the Commission and to the
developments of further research.
Stranger revelations are known to
history and the world of letters.
And in the meantime we can we'll
afford to suspend judgment. If the
theory be vindicated, we shall certain
ly be happy to restore Columbus to
his proper place; if it be definitely
rejected, we will also gratefully thank
Divine Providence for having given
the world this son of genius, while
always gratefully recalling to mind
the important service which Jewish
scholarship, wealth and vision rem
dered to make possible, through him,
the discovery of our New World,
