Committee decided to recommend that

mers of these islands on the require
ments of the local market. Statistics
prepared by James Wakefield of Theo.
H. Davies & Co. show that fruits, We
eetables, etc, to the value of $751;
237 were imported in 1907 Most of
the importations could be supplied by
local producers. 1t is proposed to have
the salary of the agent made up by
the Committee, the Chamber of Com
merce and the Merchants Association.

It was denied at the meeting that
lack of transportation and high rates
of freight prevented the home pro-
duction of the commodities in question.

CHEESE STRONG WEAPON
IN HAND OF ANGRY MAN

NEW YORK, November Ga cheese
was used so well as a weapon last
night that Frank Sinsinbick is now in
a hospital suffering from fractured
skull.
He was walking with two women
companions in Harlem about midnight,
when he made remarks about the odor
that emanated from a package carried
by a man walking in front of him.
Suddenly the man halted and threw
the package, which contained cheese,
at the DIRECTORS head. Sinsinbick was
knocked to the sidewalk and the owner
of the cheese beat the PROSTATE man
with the novel weapon.
When the police arrived the assault
er had fled, but the cheese was left
behind.
The injured man may not recover.
