A great crime IS committed against

is committed when the civilizing

The problem Of the s6u5h is = very
great one and the northern attitude

There is no power that will hold
back savage human hatred in the face

criticism least of all.
How did our revolutionary ances-
tors, whom we call heroes, treat the
Indians whose savagry filed them

naked through the streets of New

Avocado Pears.

There is a considerable amount OF
interest being taken in the matter OF
avocado pears this year. The gener-
atty of people are beginning to real
ize that there is quite variety as to
size, shape, color, texture, flavor and
size of the seed, together with the
style of tree and manner of growth,
some trees being of compact form,
while others have long slender
branches. Some of the fruit have
very thin green skin, while others are
a rich dark red. The flavor of the
fruit and texture of the meat vary
widely. This year the besD avocados
are bringing fine prices in New York
and when this delicious salad fruit be
comes thoroughly known and appre-
ciated in the northern cities, the de-
mand will far exceed the supply as it
is grown in few places in the United
States and not very extensively in the
West Indies. 1t is being planted
more generally now and more atten-
ton is being paid to its cultivation
and to the preparation of the best
varieties. Dade county should make
a strenuous effort to develop this
most unusual, nutritious and delightful
fruit, and thus add another source of
income to her already long list of
