Wednesday night It began to rain
—a gentle, steady rain that pene-
trated the ground, softened up the
I earth, broke up and pulverised clods
and soaked to the roots of trees. It
was needed. And the cold that came
with a norther will drive the rising
sap back to the roots ef trees, snd
prevent the fruit from blooming—as
they threatened to do. endangering the
fruit crop. And it also came in tim«
to stop the cry of distress froipjover-
sensitive folks. Whom the ungodly call
grouches. Incidentally, the “weather
wiseacres” tell us next month will
have enough real winter weather to
make up for the spring-like weath-
er of the winter so far. Oats have
actually begun to head-out in some
places. Wheat never looked finer—
and oats, too. as for that matter.

At abuot 7 o’clock this morning while standing before a
coal gra<te for dressing Mildrered, the 12 year old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Maxwell, living in the southwest part of
Arlington, caught her clothing on fire and w<as burned from her
feet to her head. She died in great agony in less than three
hours.
Her screams brought her mother immediately to her assist-
ance, but she was endeavoring to escape and the flames com
pletely enveloped her before she cauld be saved from them. Dr.
M. H. Craven was called hurried ly by Mrs. Alex Vaught, who
lives just across the street, and he made a quick run in his
car. But he could only administer sedatives to ally her suf
ferings, and found only a small place near her ankle not burned
for injecting anasthetic. Mildred was dressed in an outing
flannel wrapper of cotton anil a union suit, and these inflam
mable materials, caught by an in rush draught, blazed up and
around her too quickly to be extinguished before she was lit-
erally burned all over. Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell have recently
moved to Arlington to make their home and Mr. Maxwell is
a traveling man for Avery Plow Company, of Dallas Friend
ly hands rendered every assistance and the entire community
condones with the sorrowing parents.

THE RAIN AND COLD CAME IN
GOOD TIME.
On last Monday the farmers in the
Hurst neighborhood. Just across the
Trinity River from Arlington to the
north, met and organized a strong
fruit and truck association to be
known as the Hurst Produce Asso-
ciation. The Journal Is glad to have
been the means -of bringing this
matter to the attention of the farm-
er* of Hurst, as well as of Arlington,
which led to this organisation. The
farmers who have sandy loam land
especially suitable for cantaloupes
and melons, form the organisaTRm at
Hurst and have pledged 100 acres'tn
cantaloupes this spring. They have
organized and selected the following
officers:
V. S. Anderson, president: Milton
Sawders, vice-president; Owen Fin-
lan. secretary; R. A. Randol. Charles
Harrison. M. B. Hurst, J. L. Calvin
and E. E. Sawders.
Secretary Flnlan came over to see
the editor of the Journal and said
they would have a meeting next Sat-
urday (tomorrow) night at- Hurst
School house and he would lay some
important , buaineas matters before
them, and he desired that every far-
mer and all who deaired the success
of the farmers, would be present and
see w hat is being done. He said the As-
sociation will specialize in canta-
loupes for the coming season and will
plant to that melon 110 acres of land.
That much is pledged at thia time
and the acreage is increasing each
day. It is expected the association
will be able to ship to market from
two to five cars of cantaloupes each
day during the "season.

tn fact all along that portion of the
Arlington Country.” is well
