For most of the country,
the summer fruits have gone,
but cantaloupes and few other
varieties Of melon are still with
us, and grapes are just coming
plentifully into the market

It is apple time, too, now,
but this year will be a poor

melons that
orn coming Betty Caswen
into the market now should be
at their best, as they are usu-
ally vine-ripened, and therefore
sweeter and fuller Of flavor
than those picked green for
shipment.
The bureau gives us a tip on
how to choose melons when
purchasing - no good canta-
loupe, they say, has a stem, or
any bit of a stem, left on it.
A ripe melon comes off the
vine almost at a touch, leaving
a smooth place where the stem
was attached. If you can find
any part of a stem still on the
melon, or any evidences Of its
having been cut off or out, you
NAV know that the melon was
picked too soon.
YellOwish Tinge
You cannot depend on the
old-time method of pressing the
stem end of melon to deter
mine its ripeness-the same ef-
feet may be given by a melon
that has been picked green and
is "going soft" A good ripe
melon should have a yellowish
color all over. under the net
work on it's outer surface.
This will be a good year for
grapes, the bureau says. Ozark
grapes are the first in the east
ern markets, and later will come
the Michigan, New York and
other northern grapes, all OF
them slipskins, and most Of
them Concords. California and
the West Coast produce the
European grapes, many for
wine, and many for table, and
there will be plenty Of all kinds
this year.
Food Values
Besides being lovely to look
at, and delicious to eat, fruit
is exceedingly healthful for us.
Most fruits have a delicate fiber
that gives a desirable kind Of
bulk in the digestive tract, and
although seemingly acid to the
taste, they are, with few eX-
ceptions, alkaline in their reac-
tions in the body.
Vitamin c is present in all
fresh fruits, and there is a fair
amount of iron contained in
grapeskins, which is retained
in all grape preserves, jellies,
etc., where the skins are utilized.
All told, the protective food val
ues of the fruits are an impor-
tant item in a Well-balanced
diet.
The bureau includes a few
fruit recipes with which to vary
our fruit dishes.

Too Expensive?

Too Expensive?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I've been going out with a
young man for nearly a year.
Lately, he said he didn't care to
go out with me so often as he
couldn't afford it. 1 told him I
didn't go out with him to be
treated and would rather stay
at home, but he said he didn't
want to have it that way.
After tha;. I met another
young man who has a steady
job, and who likes me very
much. I know I'd have a good
time and be treated we'll if
went with him, but I just can't
make up my mind.

If you're not engaged to the
young man who told you he
couldn't afford to take you out
and declined to accept your

ming at home, I can't possibly
see any objection to your going
out with the other young man.

BOISE, Idaho, January 20.-1daho
business men, public officials and min
ing leaders have Endorsed a plan de-
vised by Will H. SimonS, State inspec-
tor of mines, calling. for use Of war
debt payments in financing mining de-
velopment in Idaho.
Simons' plan proposes that the
United States accept war-debt pay
ments from Great Britain in silver
which in turn would be used as a nu-
cleuS capital investment in mining de-
velopment The amount to be used IN
this manner has been placed at SILL
000, 900 under the Simons' proposal.
United States Senators william E
Borah and James P. Pope of Idaho and
Gov. c. Ben Ross are among the prom
inent officials who have Endorsed the
plan as feasible.
1.-The plan dovetails with the Presi-
dents efforts to create employment
Simons explains. "If carried to its ulti-
mate possibilities in Idaho, it would
solve for all time this States unemploy-
ment problem, would assure the repay
ment of every dollar loaned by the
Government and would create a surge
of business activity such as we have
never seen"
The plan is based, Simons explained
on the British war debt silver payment
for a twofold purpose-first, to prove
the utility Of silver in large financial
ventures, and second, to prove to the
East that Western silver States are
willing to utilize silver in regular busi'
ness transactions. a
