New Use of the Banana.

There are now In Jamaica six fac tories manufacturing banana figs. chips, meal and four" said James McC. Harris Of Boston, who recently returned from Jamaica. During the seasons at which the fruit Is cheapest all of these plants are run at their maximum capacity. The methods of drying the fruit are different in diff. ferent plants. though all resort, I be- heye. to hot air process. It takes about 400 to 500 pounds of the fruit to manufacture 100 pounds of meal.
 The banana fig Is as palatable as the natural fig and resembles 1t close ly In color. It has replaced the nat. ural fig in many markets in which if has been introduced. The chips are sold primarily for breakfast foods, being made Into porridge. Several of the manufacturers, who deal in the European markets. ship the chips to their mills in those European cities and have 1t ground into meal there. Grist mills, the same kind used for manufacturing meal from corn, are used"

Candidates Nominated

The table on this page gives COM
plete returns of county candidates
nominated at the Republican pri-
maries. In addition to this the
voters here will have to consider
only few other candidates.
The Socialists have nominated
VIM. Hogan of Orcas island for rep
preventative. H. P. Wallrath for
commissioner from the End district,
and Harry lowell for commissioner
3rd district.
Votes were cast on the Democrat
ic ticket for VIM. Kasch and Fred
Peasley for representative and for
Norman Frazier for assessor, but
it is not expected that they will en-
ter the contest.
The Progressives nominated j. L.
Murray for representative and VIM.
Benson for commissioner from the
End distict.
So the battle now is for represen-
tative and for county commissioner
from the End and 3rd districts. un-
less, as has been threatened, a candi-
date is brought out for clerk to op-
pose Miss Perry. Some favor this
resorting to the use of stickers at
election time. Others oppose the
idea. saying Miss Perry won the
nomination fair and square and
should be elected.

Progressive Platform

The platform of the Progressive
party organized here on the End
inst, is very short, but there are
one or two points deserving of no.
tice. 1t is as follows:
We pledge our party nominees to
rigid economy in the management
of State and County affairs and to a
faithful discharge Of their duties.
We believe that the rights Of the
man is paramount to the rights of
the dollar therefore we believe
that the people should rule and not
the monied interests.
We believe in law and order. but
we demand the same law and the
same justice for the poor man that
is accorded the rich man.
We denounce as an outrage the
practice of the State Board of Ac-
countancy in annually, and in some
instances. semi-annually. coming in
to our county and going over the
public records, taking days for such
work, which is useless to us, and
charging the taxpayers So per day
for the time so spent.
We believe in the principles Of the
Progressive party as declared in the
platform made and adopted at Chic
ago August 5-6-7, 1912.

The founder took his inspiration
from the fable Of Anteus. who was

from the ground. The order gains
its members by the signing OF the
following promise: II promise to

watchword is: "Keep down to

Eurther comment accompanying the
