While the average farmers takes Il

that the dairying will prove more

It Is true that the cows become

can secure an abundance of green

Banana Eaters.

Americans used to be called a nation
of pie eaters. Today a more appro-
pirate term would be a nation of ba-
mana eaters. The United States takes
more than two-thirds of the bananas
shipped to the handlers in the world.
Part of this prominence in banana
consumption is due to geography; the
source of supply OF the Caribbean is
almost at our doors. Part is due to
accident; a Boston skipper introduced
the American public to this tropical
fruit while 1t was still unknown in
Europe. Whatever reason n may
choose to give, the United States is
the worlds chief banana market, and
though the use Of this fruit is increas-
ing abroad, the American boy remains
the Jamaica growers best friend.

Wall From French yurymen.

In France. as we'll as in England,
jurymen have their grievances. The
latest can easily be remedied. The
French minister Of justice has re-
ceived an address signed by citizens
figuring on the Paris jury lists. pro-
testing against the bare appearance
Of the courts where they have to sit.
They point out that if-tired of look
ing at the judges, counsel. witnesses
and other parties to a suit-they turn
their eyes upon the walls, nothing but
an i~nartistic paper meets their gaze.
In order to relieve this deadly mo
notony they beg that a print Of Prud-
hons famous picture, Justice In Pur-
suit Of Crime" may be hung in each
court.
