melon growers at Pasco Tuesday
evening. Delegations of growers
were present from Benton City, Pas
co, Kennewick, Burbank and Grand

It has always interested us strangely that if. you take a cents worth of silver out of a quarter it is not worth twenty-four cents-it is worth nothing.
 Yet werall fail in our daily lives to apply the lesson. Perhaps. you. too. have bought over-ripe bananas because they were cheap (only to throw them away): stockings with a slight imperfection (which became a yawning gap overnight); a bargain in books (which you never read); and a dark gray suit when you wanted a light gray (and which you never wore out).-
 It is easy enough to buy what you DON'T want very, very cheap.
 There are always lots of sales of green dresses when everybody wants blue; or cotton hose when you want silk; or felt hats when you want straw.
