New Record Set
By Imper iaPs
Melon Growers

With shipments still continuing
at the rate of 80 or more ears
day, the cantaloupe shipments for
the present season have reached a
new high record, according to &.
w. Runge, district freight and pas
senger agent of the Southern PacI-
fic company, whose daily report
shows total of 1887 carloads, in
cluding shipments of Wednesday.
An accurate check has been kept
of all shipments by the Southern
Pacific, the figures being based on
the actual number of cars billed
out each day by the company s
agents. There is slight discrep-
ancy in the company's figures and
those issued by the bureau OF
markets, but according to Mr..
Runge, the company's figures have
been verified each day as shipments
were made, and rechecked several
times to avoid error.
Indications are that the total
will 90 considerably beyond the
$4,000 mark, which is much better
than any estimates which were
made earlier in the season. The pre-
diction that shipments would reach
10000 carloads was scoffed at by
many, including growers. and ship
pers, in view of the decreased acre
age this year, but others, including
Mr.. Runge, and j. Y. Coyle, score
tary of the III Centric Chamber Of
Commerce, estimated early in the
season that not less than 1900
cars would be shipped, and even
looked for higher figure. The fig
ures issued today by Mr.. Runge not
only confirm his earlier predictions
but surpass them.

there are other things to get. Coal
is going to be very high this year,
and l am lucky to have. some in my
cellar. But l can't pay for coal
and buy new phonograph. y
"Oh, please get one. begged
Baby Bunty. And she wanted a
phonograph so much and teased so
constantly for it that Nurse Jane
said:
"You had better send Baby
Bunty somewhere else to stay, I'm
Gle Wiggily-some place where they
have a phonograph. -
"No,' answered the rabbit gem
tleman, "the thing to do is to make
Baby Bunty contented where she
is"
"You II never make her content
ed unless you buy a phonograph, -
said Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy.
I'll make one declared Uncle
Wiggily, and when his housekeeper
said he couldn't he just smiled
and twinkled his pin nose.
Two or three days passed, and
each day Baby Bunty teased and
teased and teased for phonograph.
At last Uncle Wiggily said to her:
"Come into the garden, Baby
Bunty, and you shall hear some
beautiful music. "
''Oh, have you phonOgraph' :
Shall l hear some jazz'' Bunty
cried.
Uncle Wiggily smiled and said;
"Come on" lie sat Baby Bunty
down in a chair in front of a green
Ieafy bush. Then the rabbit gen.
tleman called; "All ready" .
Instantly from inside the bush
came the music of jolly tune. 1t
was as though some one sang:
"Cheer up! Be happy! Be glad!"
"Oh that's loyely." cried Baby
Bunty.
HuSh!" whispered Uncle Wig
gily.
From the bush came another
burst of song, sweeter than before,
and it sounded as though voice
| said:
| Happy, happy dayl Happy,
happy day."
| Wonderful" exclaimed Baby
Bunty. How did YOU"
" Hushl' begged Uncle Wiggily.
And from the bush came more music
that seemed to say;
| Summer time is lovely! Summer
time is gay! Now we've made YOU
happy, we IL be on our way!"
"oh, Uncle Wiggily, you bought
a new phonograpb, didn I you' And
you hid it in the bushes!" cried
Baby Bunty. But when she parted
the leaves out flew rhree live
birds--a robin, wren aud a song

"We were Uncle Wiggily's

flew away.
And il was the most lovely

Baby Bunty, as she danced on the
grass. And, hidden in the woods,
not far off, was the Bob Cat. But
