Per Jiaps it lias often seemed that this tdcla was being carried too far Jnd that too strict demands wore Deing made. In some instances ob jections have been heard regard ing requirements of standardiza tion and quality, but a forccrul fxaniplo, one that removes all question of theory and leaves inly a doflnlte,' well-defined con clusion, is brought home to Ump qua valley producers as a result of the present cantaloupe situa tion. Jhe daily bulletin published by the U. S. department of agriculture tarried the statement yesterday Shot "the market for Yakima can taloupes Is practically demoralized Jvtlh broker's track sales barely fringing freight charges 42 cents per standard crate In some ln Jtanccs." " Today's bulletin carries furthor information on tills same situation feclarlng that "Watermelons und Vaklma cantaloupes continued to fcach new low levels today. The flccllne in cantaloupe prices la puo largely to inferior quality of yuklma arrivals." t In viow of the fact that Yaki fna melons are not bringing enough to pay shipping charges, while "Plida of Ulllard" melons from the Unipo.ua valley are draw ing as much as $2)25 per crate, ertalnly the Information contain ed In the government bulletin Is of much significance. t L'mpqua vnlloy cantaloupe grow ers are producing a melon un equalled for flavor and quality. They are cooperating under a mu tual marketing agreement which Oorrlos their product Into one ot the best organized market dis tricts in (ho world through estab lished and efficient trade chan: hbls- They have sufficient confi dence In their own product that tfiuy place upon every melon an attractive label with the 'Trido of rilllard" trademark. As a result trmpqua valley melons are leading all others In price, and are bring !pg exceptional returns, while In ferior products fi;om oilier melon districts are a loss to the growers Consumers aro plainly showing Uiolr wllllngnoss to pay for a good product a product In which thoy have confidence. I Certainly the present melon su lfation is ample proof of tho out standing importance of cooperative Ifjarkotlng, high standard ot qual ity and advertising. Vacations Pay Dividends 17ACATIONS aro all tilings to all ; men. Sonio men vegetate; others recreate.

The tired mind detached from Its workaday round of concent ra tions can find appealing nourish ment In t ho vacuum of vacation leisure. It was a great scientist Who discovered tho paradox that "thero Is something In the vacuum." It Ik commonly observed that the world Is lighted wllh ideas.

Oregon Editors' Opinions Endurance Stuff Overdone ENDUHANCB fliers are not the news they once were. ' When O'Uitne and Jackson land ed at 8t. Louis It was generally re ported that unsatisfactory finan cial roturns had more to do with the landing than did the cracked condition of the motor. In fuct me chanics reported they could find nothing wrong with the motor and the manager of the filers frankly admitted they would have landed anyway, duo to the failure of the citizens of tit. Louis to support the flight. Apparently this stunt has about run Its course, though there are others Industriously shooting ut the endurance mark In hopes of getting enough publicity out of It to make a profitable enterprise, it is possible the enduranco fliers of future will Just about get wages out of It and $200,000 earnings will be only a thing of the past to be talked about. A peculiar part of this endurance flying Is found in press reports which told about Jackson and O'Hrine stepping out ot their plnne after exceeding all previous marks, in good physical condition and not huving lost a single pound during their more than 600 hours continu ous flying. Think of the contrast to the news stories sent out' during the pre vious flight when they were de scribed as verging on collnpso and columns were printed about how they grimly held on, determined to establish a new record. Thero is more than a suspicion that there wsb a great deal of ballyhoo con nected with some of the so-called heroic exploits of our fliers and explorers and history will bear ns out. Home of. us can remember how we looked with awe at tho dare devil auto drivers of an early per iod who drove their machines eO to 40 miles per hour, yet we see children and old people driving GO or more miles per hour now as a matter of course. Familiarity breeds contempt and just as surely lack thereof leads us to over-emphasize tho difficul ties and dangers of accomplish ments in fields strange to us. Ashland Tidings. Blue Law Absurdity A Philadelphia Judge lias a Solo monic caso on his hands. Some poor devils wore brought before him charged with violating tho gundny blue laws In that they had played a Tom Tluimb golf game on I be "holy" day. The judge had played golf himself on Sunday, but outHldo tho city limits, so stated from the bench and took the caso under advisement. It Is such ec clesiastical lyrnnny as this thut will eventually free the race hy its very absurdity. Corvallls Gazette Times. Smoking Teachers Kven those who like do boast that they ttre. broad-minded can hnrdly question the proprloty of the no-smoking rule for touchers that has been promulgated with several other new regulations In the slate of Washington. Tho pro hibition, you undorntnnd, Is against smoking on school properties, (else where, the teachers can take an occasional pnfr, or a frequent one, or nono at nil, as they happen to feel about It, ' Tho Oregonlan has never been disposed to consider the uso of to bacco a very serious vice, If indeed, It Is to bo classed as a vice at all. Nevertheless we find our selves In cornpleto agreement that tho school house, or- tho school grounds, Is not the place to Indulge. A valid Indictment of smoking Is based on the fact that It is harm ful to those of Immature years. Yet if a tcaehor Is going to lighl his or her favorlto brand of cig- arolte whenever a moment of leis ure comes, tho example may be toiiowcu ny those who look to lilm for advice and precept. Cerlalnly an instructor Is at a disadvantage In enforcing a no-smoklng rule among his charges If he does not conform to it himself. Off the BChool premises It Is an entirely dltrerent mntter, and thero Is pretty, general agreement that a teacher's' private life is liis own as long as he keeps within the limit of good conduct. As to another new- rule In Wash ington agaliiHt homo study by chil dren, there Is not llkey to he such general agreement.
