VEGETARIAN COLONISTS
RETURN TO MEAT DIET
Wealthy japanese Also Enjoy
Beefsteak Dinners

Some time ago vegetarian colony
was established upon Monte della
verfta, near Lake Maggiore, but the
experiment has failed and the pro-
moters have had to close the establish
ment, says the London Globe. The
pensionnaires of Monte della verfta are
scattered right and left. and have re-
turned to a flesh diet. This may be
good or bad from INHERENT points Of
view, but the Italian vegetarians seem
only to be following the example Of
the Japanese, who have been vegeta-
rians for centuries. The wealthy of
the land of the chrysanthemum, In
abandoning their old customs, have
given vegetarianism short shrift, and
now relish the beefsteak or the French
..veau marengo.' At the present time
IT is only the better classes which de-
spise rice and vegetables. but, as the
workers become more prosperous, it is
probable that the Japanese will all en-

L0MBROSO WAS POOR
JUDGE REGARDING TRUNK
Amusing Story of Famous Mans
Visit to Russia

NJ Jean Finot, editor of La Revue
relates an amusing story of Lombroso's s
visit to Russia At the last moment the
professor decided to attend a medical
congress at Moscow. AS he travelled
very little he decided upon buying a
cheap trunk, into which he literally
bundled his clothes
The governor of Moscow, hearing of
the visit, sent body of Cossacks to
escort the professor to the kremlin.
where apartments had been assigned to
the illustrious visitor. But on the way
the bottom of the trunk came out and
Lombrosos effects, including his aca-
demlc robes, were scattered on the
pavement
The professor was less a Judge of
trunks than of men, and in this in
stance his perspicacity failed him. for
nothing could persuade the author of
L'Uomo di genio" that the vexatious
incident was due to a faulty trunk
He believed it to be the work of the
police and declared that once out of
he would never again set foot on Rus
sian territory.
1t was during this visit that Lom-
broso met Tolstoy, and was his guest
for two days. The contrast between
the two men of genius was great--the
one small and neat In appearance the
other rugged and careless. At first
1olstoy was Ill at ease. The critical
examination TO which he had to submit
was annoying. Yet 1T was the an
thropologist's way. He was observing
his host to publish a study of the
author of Resurrection"
Ais well that ends well. and the
two men parted each delighted with
the others society. En- passant it may
be observed with regret that Paris
journal publishes dispatch from st.
petersburg that Tolstoy's physicians
report marked decline of strength.

ONLY HALF A COTTON CROP
IS FORECAST OF HUDSON
Commissioner of Agriculture
Says Crop is the Poorest
In History of Georgia

MACON, Ca, July 11.-According to the
statement of Col. Thomas G. Hudson,
state commissioner of agriculture, who
passed through Macon yesterday, the
present indications point to only half a
cotton crop this year and a late harvest.
Corn, however, is reported to be in good
condition.
THE past rainy weather has damaged
cotton greatly" said Colonel Hudson. II
have never before seen the crop in as
poor a condition as 1t is at present. The
stand is poor, grass is choking the plants
and the stand is yellow.
unless conditions improve quickly and
warm weather follows for the greater
part of the remainder of the season, do
not believe that the crop will be more
than one-half this year.
eff conditions do improve farmers will
be able to raise a fair crop-not a good
one, but only fair. Corn, however, is in
good condition and there should be fine
harvest"

PEACH CONGESTION IN
NEW YORK CUTS PRICE
But Dealers Hold Up Prices
for Observation-Disclosures
Fine Work

Manager Fleming, of the Georgia fruit
exchange. is in receipt of a number OF
press clippings from the New York
newspapers, showing how the retailers
in that city are continuing to hold up
the price of Georgia peaches, notwith-
standing the fact that the prices paid
by the wholesalers. who buy direct from
the exchange, at the pier, continue I'M
usually low.
The continued high price charged the
consumer is curtailing the demand for
the Georgia fruit and the peculiar mar
ket conditions in New York is keeping
the wholesale price down. There are
so many growers in the south who are
requesting their fruit shipped to New
York city, regardless. AS result, there
is practically congestion of fruit.
Two or three times a week there is a
doubling up of shipments in this market
caused by late fruit trains from the
south, with consequently low prices. as
a result. Another detracting feature,
which is being reported from all Sec
lions of the country is the fact that so
many of the growers are overlooking
their cars.
The exchange has requested a maxi
mum loading of 44S crates to a car,
whereas some growers will put in as
high as $50 crates. The heavily loaded
cars arrive in poor condition and bring
low prices. The daily bulletin issued by
the Georgia fruit exchange. which gives
the sale of every car of peaches with
the gross price received, shows that
practically every market in tn country
is paying more for Georgia peaches than
New York city. This is especially true
of the New England markets and the
western markets.
Notwithstanding the duty imposed by
Canada, Georgia fruit is selling in the
provinces at a good profit, too. During
the coming week the liberia crop will
begin to move. The Elberta crop is a
thing of beauty, this season, and the
finest shipments ever sent from this
state are promised the market 1t is
expected that the west and the New
England states will get the pick OF the
market on account of the unusual condi-
withstanding the fact that the present
fruit exchange is handling hundreds OF
cars daily with facility and giving uni
versal satisfaction.
Manager Fleming has received word
from the interstate commerce commits
sion that the petition of the Southern
railway to put the freight rates from
Georgia to interior points in New York
and Pennsylvania, a reduction of about
s25 a car has been granted on a three
days notice. This applies to shipments
originating on the Southern. The Cen
trail has made a similar application and
1T is expected this will be granted In
day or so. Other roads in Georgia are
expected to follow.

PHENIX, Ariz.-Uncle Sans most
