Augustus Fire Department.

The Journal advises careful con-
sideration of the sensible letter, pub
lished Wednesday, morning, of Ward
G. Holmes. chairman of the Fire De-
partment COMMITTEE agAn expenditure
of $4,000 that can be avoided by, the
city of Augusta al. !, this time, should
have weight with the taxpayers and
those who represent them.
The Journal has repeatedly sug-
gested the need and utility of i'm
proved equipment-the replacing of
unfit horses with power driven truck.
1t is not a matter into which personal
pride or feeling should enter; it is, we
believe. a matter for calm discussion
and reasonable decision.
The communication of Mr.. Holmes
rings true. 1t appeals to us as a
sensible solution of present difficult
ties, with opportunity to further dis
cuss and prepare fer a new fire sta
ton. We are convinced that care
full, candid men of the city will agree
with the course proposed by Mr..
Holmes, and we know that much dis
satisfaction with the present program
is being expressed. Disapproval of
the plan to place the new station in
the same location as the old, is wide
spread.
If the old station can be put in good
condition for $4,000, can we afford its
demolition and the expense of a new
one at this time? The interest on
$4,000 at four percent. is $500 year
In ten years it would go a long way
toward building a new station.
A stop. Look, Listen sign hung up
beside the new station plan might be
good thing at this time.

BANANA TREE IN EDEN.
Serpent Hid in Its Fruit When he
Tempted Eve, Says Legend.

There exists a legend relative TO the
Christian inhabitants of the East ina
they believed the banana to De inc
tree of the course of coed and eVll, IN
a. bunch of whose fruit the serpent
that tempted Eve hid itself, and they
add that when Adam and Eve became
ashamed of their nakedness they COW
cred themselves with the leaves of this
plant
Beyond all doubt this legend had
some influence upon the minds of
those early botanical classifiers who
designated two species of the plant py
the names of Musa paradisiaca ana
Musa sapientrum-fruit of paradise,
fruit of knowledge.
The origin of the banana is given as
India at the foot of the Himaiayas,
where it has been cultivated since re-
hottest antiquity, according to the ma
tional Geographic Magazine. It's ofi-
Gin in the New World is as doubtful
as the origin of the American Indian,
Natural to Asia and Africa, where
more than 20 distinct species of the
genus are known, it is said to have
been brought first to America from
Spain early in the 18th century and
planted in the island of Santo Domin-
CO. whence its spread was fapid
throughout the surrounding Islands
and the mainland.
This has never been authentlcally
established, however, and some au-
thorities include the banana among
the articles that formed the base OF
the food supply of the Incas and the
Aztecs before the arrival of the Span
iards. Certain it is that Throughout
the whole of meridional America there
| is strong tradition that at least two
species of the plantain were cultivat-
ed long before the coming of the
Europeans.
Furthermore, it is singular that
| in all the languages Indigenous TO the
region where the banana appears that
plant has a special name not proceed
| ing from the conquerors, as was the
case with the names of many other
| plants, animals and various articles
introduced into America after its dis
| covery.
| Grown over the entire extent of the
meridian of the earth. the fruit of the
banana today forms, in large part
/ the principal food of a majority OF tbs
peoples living under the tropical zone
Several species and numerous varie'
ties of the plant appear Throughout
tropical America, but it is cultivated
for commercial purposes in appreciate
quantities only along the Atlantic Dor
der, from southern Mexico to Columbia
1 in Jamaica, Cuba, Santo Domingo anf
the Bahamas, the far Western markets
of the United States being supplied
from the Hawaiian Islands and Mex
ico's south Pacific coast.
