corn states in regard to staple crops is
Interestingly shown in table which

failed to produce 20O,O0O,O 900 bushels of
corn, and it has during the period pro-
duced more corn than any of the other

A STRANGE COLONY.
Curious Greed Of a Settlement in
Northern Arkansas.
breakfasts Are Unknown and Ex-
tended Periods of Fasting Are
Common.-No Love Between
Husbands and Wives.

Edgar Wallace Conable, founder of a
strange health colony in Colorado
several years ago, has abandoned the
high altitude of the Rockies and has |
bought 5000 acres OF land in northern
Arkansas and coloniZed it with several
hundred followers, all of whom believe
in his manner of living.
The colonists eat no breakfast. The
men do not love their wives, nor do
the wives love their husbands. Living
in family groups is a mere matter OF
form, it is contended, although there
have been family squabbles caused by
Jealous husbands and wives in this
colony.
The settlement lies among the
Frisco system, and is to be made into
one vast orchard and vineyard. No
form of animal life must be killed on
the premises, but it is the endeavor OF
the colonists to drive away all kinds
of insects and pests.
The land, which was bought only
few weeks ago, is now being planted In
fruit trees, and settlers are building
their homes on the wide stretch of the
mountain country. By next summer
they expect to have everything in first
class working order.
According to their creed, people
should live in the highest form OF
physical and mental life. This en-
braces extended periods of fasting, for
publication of the body and the eliml-
nation of disease. 1t contemplates the
nonuse of meat, alcoholic stimni" 49,
and Tobacco
Conable says that as soon as his
crops begin to grow he will allow nc
one on the premises, except as tenn
porary guest, who lives on anything
but his sort of food. No morning mea
will be tolerated by the Conable colony
, and no cook stoves will be found IL
the kitchens. The Homework of thu
women will be limited, inasmuch al
> the only preparation of the food will
be to wash away the dirt.
Fasting is regarded as a means o
strengthening the body among thes
people. Miss Reda Benjamin, younl
woman, has just completed fast of 2
days without any bad effect to he
body. She has muscles as hard as al
athlete and is perfect specimen o
!, physical womanhood.
