SPRINGFIELD. Mo-, Aug. 2.-The
movement of the greatest crop of Et
berta peaches ever produced in the
Ozark country of Missouri and Ar
kansas began today when twelve cars
were started from the district around
Koshkonong and Brandsville to the
big cities in the east. The shipments
will continue two weeks under the

1t is expected the yield will be @.

ceive million and half dollars AS

will be moved from Ozark country
during the present season. The bulk
of the crop will be consumed east of
the Mississippi where there is a heavy
demand owing to the failure OF the
Georgia crop on which the eastern
cities depend each year.

ST. PETERSBURG Aug. 2.-The

"a sect especially harmful, to the

to the Novoe vremya, which today
stated that the minister of the inter

for such a proclamation.
This will make the Baptists in
