who are not conversant with condi-

in and open business when the terri
tory is not capable OF supporting a
new implement business in addition
to those already on the ground.
He said that this practice was fol-
lowed out in the banking business and
that before a charter is issued to a
new bank an investigation is made
by the state to ascertain whether or
not the bank can be supported in that
community. He believed that the same
rule should be followed in the case OF
the implement business.
Mr.. Mcintosh urged closer cooper

the betterment of the business.

The Last of the caribs.

The Carib Indian was the first rep
resentative of Lo the poor red man to
meet the tide of European travel. He
was the one found by Columbus and
the later Spanish explorers in the West
Indies, and he has given the Caribbean
sea his name. Thus he Is assured a
monument as long as geography shall
last, and he needs 1t, because as a
living race he has practically disap-
peared.
How many thousands of Caribs
dwelt In the West Indies in 1902 is
largely a matter Of conjecture. They
quickly began to die out under the
hand of the conQueror, who worked
them as slaves, and shot them when
they made war. Today it is doubtful
whether there are a hundred pure
blooded Caribs alive. Practically all
of them live on the British island of
Dominica, on a reservation set apart
for them called Salybia.

The general effect of the parasite is
to cause casting" or dropping of the

even If the leaves are not entirely de-

sugar found in the fruit is manufac-
tured in the leaves, anything which
damages them cuts down the fruit
crop. Leaf spot" commonly appears
after the crop is harvested, however,
and the grower frequently fails to
realize the loss which it brings about,
for its greatest effect is not felt by the
tree until the next season. This fol-
lowing crop is always mediocre, and
the fruit is liable to ripen unevenly
and be small and poorly favored. An
other effect is to render trees which
