Another form of intensive cultiva tion is being carried on at Oliver, where cantaloupes were first grown in 1928. The experiment revealed the fact that thé Oliver cantaloupe is a very superior product, with a particu larly fine flavor. The early ripening season Is also of advantage from a marketing point of view. In 1927, tomato growing was also started, and of late years cucumbers and grapes have been introduced. The tomato industry has been strengthen ed by the erection of a cannery. The. production of of vine-fruits is growing fn importance every year. The area around Oliver has a natural ad- vantage for this purpose, and there is a marked demand for these ommodi- ties in Canada. It is therefore likely that the industry will reach larger pro- pustious in ie aoxt few years, and : 'ee- production wil ed further north.

Face the Sun Don't hunt after trouble, But look for success; You'll find what you look for; Don't look for distress. If you see but your shadow, Remember, I pray, That the sun fs still shining, But you're in the way.

The worries will vanish, The work will be done; No man faces his shadow Who faces the sun.

A Scotch clergyman noted for his thrifty. habits sent a telegram to a parishioner on her wedding day. The message read: "John IV, 18." On look- ing up the text the girl was horrified at these lines: "For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband." After they had restored the young woman to consciousness, inquiry was made at the telegraph office, and it was found that the operator had omit. ted the letter or numeral indicating the first Epistle. John L IV. 18 reads: "There is no fe.r in love, but perfect love casteth out fear." The fact that a man toots his own horn does not necessarily mean or in- dicate that he is a musician.
