Peak of Cantaloupe
Shipment Is Reached

The peak of the cantaloupe ship
ment from the Salt River. valley
has been reached, with 1,459 cars
having passed throush Winslow on
their way east up until this morn
ing. About 22O cars are expected
through toaay and the same num-
Der probably will pass through
during the next few days. In all
it is expected that the years crop
in the Salt River valley will
amount to between 5000 and
1000 cars, almost twice the amount
shipped last year. Shipments will
continue all through July.
Due to the fact that rainfall de-
stroyed the latter part of the I'm
perial valley cantaloupe crop,
which usually laps over the Ari-
zona crop in the, eastern markets,
the Arizona melons are meeting
with little competition and bring
ing exceptionally good prices.
Growers are getting from 1925 to
$3.50 per crate at the shipping
points and from $3.50 to $475 at
destinations. The principal mar
kets are proving to be Chicago,
Cincinnati, Boston, Kansas City,
Pittsburgh, st. Louis, Philadelphia,
New York, Minneapolis and Denver.

How Did Gila Monster
Get Hold MiIler's Nose?
Continued from Page One.)

among other things, that he sit
down on the next animal that
bites him, so there may be no ques-
ton of the ''modus operandi' or the
locale. We also showed Mr. Miller
the above editorial, and to it he
made answer, with characteristic
seriousness, as follows:
"The writer evidently thinks he
has the editor of The Mail in lie
"The Gila monster got my nose
in his mouth, all right, and l had
to tear him off Let me explain,
for the information of this person
who is in doubt that he is wrong
in almost every particular.
''He evidently wishes to split
hairs on the word strike 1 agree
with him that this reptile does not
jump, but | can not agree with him
that it does not strike. Neither
does the rattlesnake jump, but still
it strikes.
Perhaps the word snap would
express the idea just as well as the
word strike.
'The gentleman has tried to
make some very wise remarks in
regard to the manner in which the
Gila was able to get hold on
my nose, which all shows that he
does not understand my method of
handling them. He will understand
better when | explain that | hold
as many as two of them to my
face at once. If this gentleman
will try it, then he will be able to
understand how the accident might
happen. If he does not wish to do
it himself, l will do it for him.
81 do this not so much to dem
onstrate that l am game as to show
how docile and good-natured the
reptile is. I have handled them in
this way many thousands of times
without hiccoughs.
81 note he claims the Gila has
no fangs. 1 say it does have
fangs, and 1 am willing to submit
the whole question to DR.. Vorhies
of the State University or to any
one else who understands it.
81 note that certain others are
in doubt as to whether or not the
Gila monster is poisonous. There
is no question about it. An ex-
haustive investigation by experts
under direction of the Carnegie In
stitute was published several
years ago. 1t is no longer a debat-
able matter. The method of in
jecting the poison is, however, i'm
perfect in the case of the Gila, as
his fangs are grooved, and not
hollow, like those of the rattle
snake.
LET me suggest that the critical
gentleman come and get instruc-
tions in the handling of the Gllas
from good medicine man..

Ford Has Daily World
Production S,125 Cars

World production of Ford cars
and trucks is now averaging slight
ly above S,125 day, daily output
greater than at any previous time
in the history of the Ford organize :
ton, says Clyde Matthie, who sells
Fords here.
This is the astonishing record of
Ford accomplishment as revealed
in figures just given out at the
general offices IN Detroit covering
the combined production Of domes-
tic assembly plants, foreign plants
and associated companies and the
Ford Motor company of Canada,
Ltd. 1t is not only significant as
indicating the growth of the auto
mobile industry both here and
abroad, but it presents the world
wide acceptance Of motor car
transportation, for while domestic
plants of the company have for
the last few weeks been setting new
production records, foreign plants
also have attained to new marks.
Since the first of May the Ford
assembly plants in the United
States have been averaging a daily
output Of more than 1920 cars and
trucks and this in the face of sew
eral days when operations at one
or more plants were more or less
curtailed due to delays in arrival
of parts. During the same time
plants in Europe and South Amer
lea likewise set new records and
these, with the daily output Of
Ford of Canada, which supplies
Canada. and the British colonial
possessions, have added a : daily
average of 925 cars and trucks to
the production figure, bringing the
total up above S,125 a day.
On May 79, when the domestic
plants went to the new high mark
of 1858 cars and trucks, foreign
plants and the Canadian company
produced 892, setting as the record
for all the remarkable total of
$3.50 Ford cars and trucks.

Running "a Hours a Day

The Katherine mill, in the King

put of seventy-five tons of ore
daily, according to a report made
by the management.
The mine and mill are now en-

Charles Sutro, of San Francisco,
president of the mine, has been in
specting the property there during
the last week.
The gross value of the output of
the Tom Reed mill, in the same dis
trict, during the month of May was
$4,000, the lessees paying $4,000
in royalties. The June report has
not been made available as yet.
The mine and mill leases have
been extended for three-year

Early Georgia Settler
Picked Location Wisely

-
In 1885 Pickens county, Georgia,
was peopled by the Cherokee In
dians. In that year, one Sam Tate
moved in and settled eight miles
from any other white neighbor. He
was first on the ground when the
government moved the CheroEees
out to Indian territory in 1887.
He staked off his pick of the lands
left by the Indians, aud his claim
embraced, among other things, the
finest marble deposit in the United
States and one of the most valu-
able in the world. 1t still belongs
to the Tate family. There is only
one vein of Georgia marble, and
the old man got it ala solid block
three eighths of a mile wide, four
miles long and two hundred feet
to half-mile deep, the estimated
worth of which today, according
to experts, runs up to $3.50, 100000
600, and is still running. 1t has
been worked now for more than
fifty years and in all that time
they have only scratched the sur
face of about three acres Of it
They have dug out of it such build
ings as the Corcoran Art gallery
and the Pan. American building in
Washington the Rhode Island state
capitol, the New York Stock ex-
change, the Federal Reserve banks
of Cleveland and Atlanta, the Field
museum in Chicago, the Statue of
Civic Virtue in New York city, and

Complete proof of the practical
value of education by radio is ex-
pressed in the announcement Of the
Spring Term Of the New York Uni
versity "Air College to be broadcast
by station WIZ of the Radio Cor
poration of America.
The entire educational radio pro-
gram, comprising fifteen weeks OF
nightly lectures, was chosen by the
radio students themselves. This is the
first time that so comprehensive a
instruction schedule has been ar
ranged in answer to popular requests.
New York University has definitely
included education by radio in its &C
Invites by incorporating the Air Col
lege" in the Extramursl Division OF
the university. Chancellor Elmer
Ellsworth Brown recently appointed
Professor Henry c. Hathaway as Di-
rector of the Air College" to prepare
the programs and outline future de-
yelopments OF this new department OF
the university.
The list of professors and instruc-
tors who will deliver. the radio lecture
courses during the Spring Term in
cludes some OF the greatest names in
the educational world. Perhaps the
best known is Professor Marshall )
