Preston Roberts, the melon man, was in Goodland Tuesday with his last load of melons of the season. The season being late, he had a later melon crop. The editor and family motored to the melon farm Sunday afternoon and enjoyed a short visit with Mr. Roberts, who has a fine farm both in Newton and Jasper counties. He lives in Newton county and raises melons in Jasper county. Mr. Roberts told us how to raise the melons but he didn’t want us to print it as it might hurt his trade if several others started in to raising melons on his tip.—Goodland Herald Bom, today, Saturday, Oct. 20, 1917, a boy to Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Ritter, of Barkley twonship. Mrs. Ritter is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Davisson.
