NEW SPECIES
OF MELON TO
BE OFFERED

Avocado melons, a new product
of Imperial Valley, and the gift
of Thomas E. Jones. are 10 be fea-
tured on the menu of the FL Gen.
tro Chamber of Commerce dinner
meeting to be held at the Hotel
Barbara Worth tomorrow night,
when Hugh T. Osborne, supervisor
for this district will be the speak
er.
These new melons are now on
display at chamber headquarters
while they attain the proper ripe
ness to satisfy the pampered palates
of the summer bachelors who con-
Stitute a large part of the attend
ance at the summer chamber din
nerS. They were grown by Jones in
the Acacia district and he now has
about six acres ready for market,
but expects to increase his plant
ingS to 80 acres next year. Jones
has formerly grown these melons in
small amounts near San Diego and
states that he has always found a
popular market for them.
The melons pack out from six to
II to crate. The crate at cham
Der headquarters contains six
melons, each about "a inches in
circumference. The rind is green
of the texture of an avocado and
the meat also has the appearance
of the meat of an avocado, although
the taste is sweet like a cantaloupe,
but with decidedly distinctive
flavor.
One of the advantages Of this
melon. according to Jones. is the
fact that it must be picked when
about three -fourths ripe, rather
than fully ripe. This permits it to
be shipped while somewhat green
and insures ripening in transit with
no waste through over ripeness. It
is thought that the melon will gain
much favor in Imperial Valley and
that paintings will me made next
year to as great an extent as avail

unable to be present at last week S

TREES
AGED FISHER

BUTTE, Mont, July II, W.P) -
James H. Dwyer, 10, Butte business
man, was held captive up a tree all
night by a ferocious mother bear,
it was disclosed today when he re-
turned from a fishing trip in the
mountains 80 miles from here.
Adding to the discontinue of the
aged man was the fact that he
lost his pants on his hurried climb
up the tree.
DWyer interrupted his angling
for trout long enough to pick up
a cub he noticed edging up to the
creek. The cubs mother charged
upon the luckless business man.
Dwyer dropped everything and
ran. He reached a tree before the
bear but she claWed him as he
climbed. inflicting painful scratches
and pulling off his pants. Dwyer
clung to the tree painless through
the night until other members of
his party found him and drove away
the mother bear which had esttlcd
herself at the base of the tree for
an indefinite vigil.

Police Judge Lee Nuffer lost
wonderful opportunity this morn
ing to rank with Solomon as one
of the worlds wiSest law enforcers.
On the other hand. it may be the
fconcensus Of opinion that he left
that arbiter Of disagreeable situa-
tions far behind in wisdom and
! foresight.
+ Manuel Pacheco, accompanied
+ by his wife and three small child
rem appeared in police court this
morning to answer n charge of
/ disturbing The peace brought
against him by a neighbor Pacheco
denied cmphatically that he had
disturbed anybody's peace or any
thing else. On the contrary. he
ayeTred, it was his peace and quiet
that was disturbed by the COM
] plainant'S children. He worked
nights and attempted to sleep
/ during the daytime, but said neigh
boris children insisted on doing
their morning playing beneath his
window, much to his disgust and
disquiet. He denied that he had
injured these children or had call
ed them vile or unbecoming names.
Taking all these things under
consideration, the court dismissed
the case against the defendant,
advising him to seek more quiet
and satisfactory quarters where
he stood more chance of taking
his sleep unmolested. With many
| thanks, smiles and even a wave
of the hand and a cooed farewell
to the court from the youngest
child, carried in the defendants
arms, Pacheco took his departure
and the incident was written as
closed on the courts docket.
But-therein justice reckoned
unwisely. Suddenly the complain
ant hove into sight around the
corner. A hurried glance into the
court room showed no defendants
there but sharper look across the
street showed them getting into
their automobile preparatory to
going home where Pacheco could
find peace and quiet for his slumb-
ers. With all sails set and full steam
up, the complainant steered a
straight course toward the de-
fendant's automobile, ordered them
out and conveyed the whole fam
lily back into court where it was
her determination to see this mat
ter through to its finish, come what
might.

Found Guilty of Stealing Heifel
-., From Hutton Farmer

In the Preston County wv. Va.)
Court, in session last week at King
wood, Dexter Friend was found guilty
of stealing a heifer from Spencer Har-
desty, farmer, of near Hutton, and
was re-committed to Jail for later SEN
fencing by Judge A. G. Hughes.
Drummer Friend and Theodore
Smith, also charged with accessories
to the crime, entered pleas of guilty
after first pleading not guilty, and
Judge Hughes said he would consider
their cases and would give them light
Jail sentences.
The heifer was stolen from Har-
desty's barn on the night of January
81 or morning of January %. 1t was
slaughtered in the barnyard and the
meat carried away. The men left a
trail which was easy for officers to
follow and the arrest of the three men
was made the same day at Freeport
where one quarter of the heifer was
found in the home of Drummer Friend
and the balance in the home of Dexter
Friend. Smith, an accomplish, was
arrested later the same day.
Last spring Hardesty's barn was en-
tered and robbed of calf and dur
ing the summer he lost several lambs
from his sheepfold.
