August
THIS is the month of August according to mtn's talk; and now the sprightly
toggist lays in his winter stock. His heavy clothes he's getting Jjig ship-
ments every day while yet we're sorely sweating and shooing flies away.
The nrbane genial geezers who run the hardware store are chucking ice cream
ireezers where they'll be seen no more; and from dark hiding places in attics
or in sheds they bring with cheerful faces last winter's skates and sleds. The
ctrn is turning yellow the grass will shortly die the pumpkin's growing mellow
and almost fit for pte. So let us prize and cherish fair Augusts sizzling heat
1 or it will shortly perish the warmth that can't be beat. The gladsome flies
that cheer us will seek another clime for Autumn's drawing near us and good
old Winter brae. Ifs surely rather funny that o'er free heat we fret for soon
veil pay out mosey when we would raise a sweat. Around the old baseburner
all shivering weTl squat and wish we could return or relapse to August hot. So
let all lads and lasses enjoy this happy month; in every year that passes it
cometh only oneth.

Attend Clint's Cantaloupe Festival
TUESDAY is Cantaloupe day at Clint and Clint wants you there.
Everybody in El Paso and the Rio Grande valley is invited to visit
Clint and partake of all the delicious melons they can eat. The day is set
aside to advertise the El Paso valley cantaloupe and the growers of the valley will
be hosts to all who come. They have picked enough melons to feed several regi-
ments and they hope the poblic will not leave any of them uneaten; they want
everybody to bring a spoon and eat all the melons they can.
The crop this year has met with several misfortunes but still the valley
farmers are optimistic and proud of their product. There was too much rain
in the first place; it made the melons grow too fast and split open in some in-
stances; in others the melon was a little more watery than was desirable. Still
nirtil the eastern market became glutted the melons were pronounced the lwst
that had reached New York and Chicago this year. They sold well and the first
carloads shipped by the growers netted nice figures. But the order to cease
shipping came before the crop was half gathered and the result is that the grow-
ers are about to lose more than half of their crop. There is no crying over "spilt
milk" however and the Clint cantaloupe growers will be as jolly hosts Tuesday
as if they were making a fortune from their crops. They planned Cantaloupe
day long ago when they thought they were going to sell everything they could
pick and Intended gathering their finest for their guests on the day of the cele-
bration. Now they have more fine melons than they expected to have.
The CKnt growers want to convince the general public of the high quality
of their melons and Cantaloupe day was decided upon asa means of accomplishing
this. The growers want to make every family in El Paso ask for El Paso valley
cantaloupes and they want to make them such enthusiasts that they will write
to their friends and relatives elsewhere and tell them to ask for the El Paso
brand. Now that the hard lack has come as a result of the glut of the market
the local growers are attempting to dispose of as many melons locally and in
nearby towns as possible. This was not planned as a part of the Cantaloupe day
festivities but for several days it has been apparent that a local market must
be found and if Cantaloupe day results in creating a heavy local demand for
the melons it will be that much better for the valley and for El Paso for the
more melons that can be sold the more money goes into the pockets of the valley
farmers; in ether words stays here.
Turn out for the Cantaloupe day festivities and buy cantaloupes too if
yon can; if yon don't buy go to the festival anyhow. No effort is to be made
to sell cantaloupes to the visitors; the growers will be hosts as originally
planned and will give all comers all the melons they can eat but if you want to
place an order for a crate or two or for a carload it will be accepted.
Besides the cantaloupe feast there will be plenty of other diversion. In
the afternoon there wfll be fancy drilling by a troop of United States cavalry
that until a few months ago was the show troop ei the army stationed at Fort
Meyer Va near the national capital. In the morning there will be races of all
kinds. Trains will leave El Paso at 9:30 a. m. and 12:15 p. m. AutomoboKsts
will find the road good all day.

Nobody knows what nation will next be involved in the great war. Now the
report comes that if Japan takes the field the United States will be expected to
guarantee the integrity of China.

The Innocent Bystander
EVERYBODY agrees that Britain's first aim wfll be to crush Germany's sea
power. This is necessary first in order to release British shipping; which
constitutes one-half of all the commercial tonnage in the world. But it is
also necessary in order to maintain England's command of the sea in future and
break down Germany's aggressive war system which has got her into the present
mess and involved aH Europe. As the kaiser says Germany has kept the peace for
43 years and the "war lord" until now has been a eonserver of peace. But it
seems as if Germany was just "mutin' with benevolence" and had to break out
somewhere in the name of the Lord. The present opportunity did not come un-
sought. If Britain France Hassia Belgium and Portugal acting in concert succeed In
destroying Germany's fleets and naval bases in every part of the globe as they
must do if this war is ever to end then commercial shipping will return to the
tea and the channels of neatral trade wfll be open to us as always. So long as
German warships remain on top of the water our foreign commerce is practically
suspended.
Our exports should amount normally to about $200000000 a -month and im-
portslo $150000000 a month though under the new tariff exports have tended
to decrease and imports to increase so that the United States had no favorable
trade balance at the beginning of this war.

after she had taken off her glasses ant

When they got to the door Mrs.
Tabby was outside waiting for them.
"How Tom" she began before the kitty
boy could open his mouth "there is no
use to try to get me to let you keep
those chickens. What. Fluffy Downs?
I don't care what kind of down they
are. It is all I can do to feed my own
family much less several others." She
stopped and turned before she went into
the house. "You may feed them if you
wish before they go." Then without
another word she went Inside and shut
the door
"Well that is rather a cold recep-
