Mi 10 CHOOSE ' A WATERMELON

Season for Luscious Product Is Here Now, So Be Advised.

Thfe flavor of a watermelon depends largely upon how you choose it. If you select it over the telephone, through the mediumship of a grocery clerk, whose clairvoyance is imperfectly developed, you will obtain a melon which is beautiful to gaze upon externally, but whose interior decorations are unfinished. To choose a watermelon, go to a small town and wait on the main street until- a freckled boy drives in on a wagpn load of the dainties. Then thump the largest one, and if it responds with a solidly hollow, plunk, pay the boy his quarter, seek a secluded spot, break the melon on a fence post and let nature take is course.
