Cost

Feeling that the President of
the United States is entitled to
nothing but the best, Imperial
Valley was secured from end to
end yesterday in the hopes of
finding enough standard sized
cantaloupes to fill a large sized
crate for President Coolidge.
However, the efforts of ten men
only resulted in securing four
full standard size melons that
were fully ripe-but they were
beauties and nothing superior
has ever left the valley, even in
the middle of the season.
They were properly Grated and
dispatched via air mail late yes
terday, the total postage being
required, amounting to S32.88.
Some sports are these cantaloupe
growers, we say, for each round
luscious melon cost exactly 1922
in postage. A letter to the Pres
ident accompanied the fruit,
which sent the compliments of
the Imperial Valley Cantaloupe
Growers.
