PAY YOUR PLEDGES IS PLEA TO WOMEN
Baptist Missionary Union Hear Review Of Year
 Work
BEsSEMER BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALB } Ressey,nar Ala Nnv 2T |


 The keynote of the state conXen- ton of the Woman's Missionary union at the First Baptist church is Pay your campaign pledges" and the message is heard in all address and reports. The second session of the convention was held at the church Wednesday morning, beginning at o'clock, and the building was crowded to capac'cy. In her address, Mrs, William Stanford reviewed the past years work, told of plans for the fu- ture and made strong appeal for complete payments on campaign pledges during this, the last year, adding that the entire progra' Of missions depended on the collection of these pledges.
 Miss Susan Anderson, returned missionary from Africa, gave an in- teresting and appealing address as she told of her work in the dark con- tinent. She spoke of the last con- Vention she attended, which was in Africa, when the gathering was con- posed of an entirely different type of women from her audience, but praised the sincerely of the African woman. Many walked whole day tC attend the convention, she stated and two women had walked for nine days, carving infants and baggage in OTuGF to pc present dL li6 AIltlSJlfil il conference. Miss Anderson $ descrip- tion of the people with whom she has worked for years, was given by tel ing touching incidents in the lives of those with whom she had come in close contact.

 Describe African Customs.
 One mother had appealed to the nurse at the Baptist mission to eX- tract the two front teeth of her in fant, because it was q custom to end the life of a child whose two upper teeth appeared before the lower teeth in the belief that such would bring evil upon the house.
 "When l look out on these people I think of the words of the Bible which says that Jesus looked on the multitude and had compassion on them Miss Anderson said. Tt is compassion we must feel for these people"
 Miss Anderson's address followed the foreign mission report prepared by Mrs R. Kelly White of Marion which told of foreign work being halted at pressnt because of the fail ure of the campaign collections.
 Miss Mary Northington, former cor responding secretary, presented an olive wood gavel 70 the president from the Alabama union, which was brought from Palestine and made fzom the olive trees under which the Savior once walked, the donor said.

Don't eat unripe or oyerripe fruit
There is plenty Of good wholesome
fruit available, take no chances on
fruit that is questionable in your
mind this is easier than calling in
the doctor and far less expensive.
what is said of fruit can be said

heat of summer. Working men need
meat to make the Drawn that pitches

under any circumstances use any
meat that las a suspicious odor for
yourself or the hired force.
There is another don't that should
be observed. Burn all dead animals
on the place. Don't throw them in
the ditch and let them float down to
the next obstruction. Burn every
thing that dies on the farm from
baby chicks to animals 1t is the only
safe way. Don't haul away the dead

Summer Health Dont's
Suggested by Physician
Common Sense Observance of Sanitation Will
Prevent Summer Disease; Take no
Chances and Beat the Doctor

In talking over health conditions
with Dr.. Dempsey he stated that at
the present time the health of this
section generally is all that could be
anticipated. There is but one suspic-
ious case of probable typhoid which
will be determined within a few days,
and he is in hopes that it can be
halted. He gave a few hints in re.
gard to summer precautions.
First of all the doctor recommends
the destruction of all flies. Take no
chances on flies" he says, they
breed more disease than any other
one thing. Swat the fly whenever
you find him and remove everything
that offers a breeding place This is
easily done il the people will just
take time Between fly paper. poison
and the swat it is possible to destroy
millions of flies. and the crusade
against flies over the whole civilized
world has helped break down epi-
demie that annually swept the diff
ferent countries Swat the fly. from

with the present sewerage system
in this city and the piped water the
health of Fallon should be above the
average. Flies can be kept down by
everyone going after them and once
a house is cleared of these disease
comfort is possible. Screens
are cheaper than doctor bills, and my
advise is to screen wherever possible
against flies and other insects both
for health and summer comfort.
III you have doubts about the
water on the place boil it;
let it cool and It Is then good to
drink This is a precaution that
should be taken on some of the farm
where dug wells supply the
family with drinking water, and
everyone drinks plenty of water dur
ng the summer season. If you have
my doubts boil the water. it is safety
Iirst.

CantaIoupe Market Man
Reviews the Situation
Small Acreage Injured by Frost; Good Prices
Predicted With Good Rail Service
Will Bring in Packers

We expect to bring in some OF
our packers and graders so that there
will be no come back on shipments
leaving from our sheds. We have
made arrangements to pack at the
Consolidated Warehouse and have
ordered our crates and binders. The
labels will be of very attractive ap-
pearance and will assist in advertis-
ing the Heart of Gold" melons in
many cities and markets heretofore
untouched through other sources.
We will be back here early in
July and will also move in with our
families. The office will be open
about the last week in July and from
that time forward we expect to be
pretty busy
Il am of the belief that this sec
tlon can do a lot more than raise
melons and COWS. There is room here
for eannery if the farmers could be
made to see the profits. Corn, beans,
tomatoes and asparagus can be profit
ably grown here and they all pack to
a time between the melon crop and
fall harvesting and would be the
means of bringing in many dollars
that otherwise escape. 1t is our in
tention to take this up more thor
oughly with the people once we get
settled and going in this valley.
From what l have seen of this
section l am convinced that there is
room for intensified farming and
many a place can be turned into
profit by making a market for garden
truck. 1t has saved many a California
town and put it on the map.
While we are here this season on
melons We expect to look over the
entire field for the possibilities that
will go to make future business for
us and the people of this project. >"

Monday Mr.. and Mrs. J. Harton
and Mr. e. A. Johnson of Lodi, Calf.
arrived in this city to look over the
eantaloupe conditions. 1t will be re
membered that Mr.. Johnson and Mr.
Hartin were here earlier in the spring
signing up with growers for melons
this season.
In speaking of the outlook for this
season Mr. Johnson is confident that
the crop is in better condition than
he anticipated after hearing of the
June frost. In this respect he stated
ITO my surprise the melons prom
ise fine production, as the vines are
very healthy and while it is possible
that 20 per cent was destroyed dur
ing the frost the replants are coming
along fine and will take up the loss
in nearly every instance.
In some places there is absolutely
a perfect stand with no frost effects
showing. Others were nipped and
portions were destroyed, but as
whole tile cantaloupes of this section
are IN very promising conditions and
with the warm weather that is on
rapid growth will follow.
Il find that market conditions
promise better than usual. California
reports short crop as does Colorado.
The California crop is well out o.
the way by the time the Fallon mel
ons come on and some new high rec
ords on prices have been recorded
with a steady demand The railroads
are endeavoring to give better ser
vice and the shipments going for
ward this season are making record
time. One-third more cars have been
available this spring and there Is
promise of the best rail service in
the history of shipments from this
coast to eastern sections.
