Secretary Cliff Cates of the Chamber of Commerce, is sending the follow-
ing notice out to the cantaloupe growers of Wise County:
A strong company with a national market and brand already established
has agreed to buy cantaloupes for cash here this year. There is no agree-
ment to be signed by the grower that we know of, the only requirement
being to deliver fruits of the Perfecto variety of strictly High Grade, it
being known in advance that this company will accept Quality only. Cer-
tainly nobody can my now what the final result of this move will be
and there can lie no thought of guarantees. But this we know, the buyers
are strong, with plenty of money and lots of experience and will sell
Quality goods if there is a demand. The prospect in that connection is
much superior to last year. You probably realize, too, that we should
keep trying to odd cash revenue to the farm and, once we have succeeded
witli cantaloupes, we can add other crops. The country certainly does
need to try to do something more than it is doing. Farmers have already
listed about 100 acres of about 300 needed to make car shipments, and if
you are of a mind to fine possible failure as well as success, come or
send word to the meeting here next Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock.

the scene if the heaviest fighting.
This cemetery contains bodies of
1 1,191. These cemeteries are owned
and maintained by the United States
government. They will always re-
main as beautiful as they now are,
for we expect our government to ex-
ist until Eternity.
The managers < f these cemeteries
are ex-service men of our country.
We realize our government has kept
faith with these brave boys and we
now feel that it is all right to leave
them there—only the house of clay
lies there. Their souls have gone to
their Master.
Because of the reception,’or rather
the lack of it, we mothers could not
but feel that France was not very
much concerned about us. Naturally
we resented this attitude, especially
from the French Gold Star mothers.

District agents of the Sinclair Re-
fining Co., had a meeting at the
Greathouse li tel in Decatur Tues
day afternoon, and following a busi-
ness session the agents enjoyed a
sumptuous feast at the cafe. These
are monthly gatherings of the hust-
ling representatives in the Denton
district of the Sinclair Co., ami,
judging from the enthusiastic ex-
pressi ns of the visitors. Decatur is
to have them again. Interesting and
instructive talks were made by
Mr. J. T. Holton, district agent,
and 1.. E. Barnin, district salesman,
of the Fort Worth district office.
These gentlemen paid deserving trib-
ute to the sterling men who repre-
sent the Sinclair Co., for their spirit
of progressiveness, and ever-readi-
ness to give the trading public w
it wants. Particular stress was plac-
cd on meeting the demands of the
people, and being constantly on the
job of seeing that Sinclair products
are giving the satisfaction wantod.
Short talks were made by a num-
ber of the visitors, and they were all
filled with compliments to Decatur
and the splendid appearance of the
Sinclair stations, manazed by Geo.
T. Elder. In the town. Afler the
feast another session was held.
Those attending the gathering
were: D. C. overfelt of Bowie. E. N’
