Few places offer opportunities

the Hermiston country. Just as

one team busy this week hauling
in peaches for shipment, another
bringing in loads of watermelons
while the third cutting of alfalf:
is ready. The corn on his piaci
is looking fine and better pota­

Co-operative Observer
Finer melons of the canta­
loupe family were never grown
anywhere than right in the Her­
miston country. There is a good
market for them, too, if the
proper attention is given the
sale end. The whole trouble at
present is with the grower.
Nearly every one plants some
favorite variety, with nearly as
nany varieties as there are grow­
ers. Added to this is the small
acreage with different planting
times. Were all to plant at the
same time and the same variety
together with enough to make
it worth while, a market can be
found. Localities where canta­
loupes cannot be grown success­
fully or where the season is late
Several bee men have spoken
about organization and agree
that it is the thing to do. With
such a feeling there is no reason
why those interested should not
get as many together as possible
and get an association started.
When the benefits are explained
we cannot see why all will not
get in line.
Every farmer with a patch of
corn should be on the lookout for
suitable specimens for the 0. W .
R. & N. corn show. We have
the corn here that will take
every prize for irrigated ground.
It's merely a question of getting
it to the fair. Some one to lead
in the work is all that is needed.
School children generally and
industrial club members in par­
ticular should read the announce­
ment regarding the school fair
to be held in connection with the
dairy show.

try have sent a box of peaches

Salaries first were paid to ball play­
ers in 1868 by the Cincinnati club.
Roger Connor, the famous old slug-
ger, in 1,071 games in ten consecutive
seasons bad a grand batting average of
.325.
Richard J. (Dickey) Pierce is credited
with introducing the bunt hit in the
summer of 1876.
The first 1—0 game on record was
played by the Chicago and st. Louis
teams in 1875, the former winning the
contest.
O. Nicholson holds the record for the
greatest number ot stolen buses in a
season. When with the Frankfort team
of the Blue Grass league in 1912 lie pii
fered 111 sacks in 123 games.
In 1913 the Meridian team of the Cot
ton States league was defeated in
twenty-six consecutive games, the rec­
ord.
The first no hit game, no player
reaching first base, in the history of
baseball took place in 1876. James Gal
vin of the St Louis Reds was the rec
ord making twirler, and he pitch A
against the Cass club of Detroit. The
battle took place at Iona, Mich., on
Aug. 17. The feat was repeated twice
in 1879 by J. L. Richmond of the
Worcester National league outfit on
lune 2 against Chicago, and on July 28
igainst Springfield. Again, on June 12
1880, Richmond performed the sap
stunt against Cleveland, and in the
same year, on June 17, John M. Ward,
twirling for Providence, beat Buffalo
n this kind of a contest.

SWING OF THE WIND.
OUR Tic,"
On the Atlantic Coast, as a Rule, It Is
From Left to Right.
Thirty-five years ago, while mas ng
a four mouths' voyage, I was fre­
quently impressed by the unerring ac
curacy with which Captain Crosby,
one of the best known captains sail­
ing from New York, forecast the state
of the weather. In reply to my ques
tion lie answered: "Doctor, ns a result
of fifty years of seagoing life. I can
assure you that almost invariably, 1
might say without exception, the wind
In its shifting follows the course ot
the hands of a clock—that is. from left
to right.
"Of course," he ndded. "one cannot
say how long the wind will remain in
any oue quarter, but when it changes
It will, almost without exception, take
the course I have stated For instance
If the wind Is In the northeast, in
going to the north and then
to the northwest, it will on the con
trary, zo over to the east, southeast:
south, south west, west, and finally
reac li the northwest."
When ! aske I him why that should
be. he said he bad never been able to
obtain an answer to that, but that it
was an absolute rule as far as the ex
perience of his life went.
One other observation I have made
through all these years, although it is
not by any means as exact as the first.
Is that the winds have a fairly accurate
length of time in which they remain in
their various quarters. For instance,
northeast and east winds are generally
two or three days in duration, grad
ually shifting to southeast and south,
then after a day's interval, or less,
reaching west and northwest These
remarks apply only to the Atlantic
coast and contiguous states and are
Inapplicable to the Pacific, where the
conditions. In some respects even more
remarkable, are entirely different.—Dr
Frank Abbott In New York Times.

“The Yard of Best Quality ”
H. M. STRAW. MGR.
A Fountain Pen for $1.00
Sounds mighty attractive. Fountain pens can
be had at that price and even less. But what
have you when you get one? To begin with the
purchaser assumes all the risk, with no recourse.
It’s like trading knives unsight and unseen.
The dealer will not—cannot—guarantee the pen.
You take all the chances and 99 times out of 100
that is all you get for your money—a gamble
with the house against you.
The cheap pen is cheap in every particular
except cost and dear at any price. At best it
never lasts but a few weeks. While you are
trying to use it through those few miserable
days or weeks it is never anything but an ag­
gravation. To one who dees not know the
pleasure of a good pen, the cheap, made to sell
leads him to believe that all fountain pens give
trouble and is prejudiced accordingly.
A good fountain pen cannot be had for $1.
The point alone in a guaranteed pen costs not
less than $1.25. From that up to $3.75. So
how could it be possible to purchase a good pen
complete for $1 or less?
A pen with the manufacturer’s guarantee
behind it will last years and every minute’s use
will be a pleasure—not an effort. A dealer han­
dling a guaranteed pen will take pains to see
that you are fitted with a pen that suits your
particular style of writing. If, after using the
pen for a week, you find it does not entirely suit
your style, it can be changed and these changes
are made willingly until you are fitted. - Fitting
a fountain pen to an individual is like fitting a
pair of glasses. It is folly to buy something and
try to write with just because it looks like a pen.
Persons of experience in the use of fountain
pens never hesitate to say the Waterman Ideal
is good Such advice is worth while. The Wat-
erman people have put years of study and work
into their product. Making good pens is the
entire thing with them—not a side issue to grab
a little easy money from those who do not know
the points to look for in buying a pen.
You cannot buy a Waterman pen that is not
guaranteed, consequent lv their goods do not
The lowest price
come within the dollar class
a genuine Waterman sells for is $2.50. That
style is guaranteed as fu l as the highest priced
one. It is possible to purchase a stock Water­
man pen up to $150.000, but the guarantee on
$2.50 or $3 pen is just as binding and the work-
manship just as painstaking and thorough.
If you are not already the user of a good
fountain pen, b gin now. Get a Waterman and
get the best there is.
We carry a very complete assortment. We
can fit you out with a pen that will suit you.
We have the regular, safety and pocket types,
either with or without the clip cap.
