When we pick up a paper like the
Nanatee Banner we cannot but
think OF the immense debt small
communities everywhere owe to their
newspapers, whose publishers owing
to the limited fields in which thew
work, must inevitably receive COM
pensation for their efforts out of all
proportion to the labor and talent
they must expend. Moreover, in such
communities the business does not
usually justify the investment neces-
sary for modern equipment, the type
usually having to be set by hand,
and the other operations of getting
the paper out" being more laborious
than In the larger cities. Nothwith
standing this, as In the case of the
Banner, many of the most attractive
looking, as we'll as the most readable,
papers we see are gotten out under
these conditions. We are glad to
note that the people of Manatee an.
preciate their newspaper, and show
their appreciation in a substantial
manner, by sending out 1000 copies
OF the paper weekly to persons who
may be interested, or whom it may
De desired to interest, in Florida.
This is advertising that will nav
any community hundred fold. 1t

other places, and has produced the

a COMMUNAL COLONY 10.
GATED AT EsTERo, FLA
All Property Is Held In Common
Members Have other Peculiar
Beliefs

Some years ago | read OF reiie-
ions sect calling themselves Koresh-
ans, who had established a colony ~
South Florida and had CURIOSITY
as to their peculiar belief in regafa
to the construction Of the eartn.
J Arriving at Fort Myers, at the emu
| of my trip through the everglades OF
Florida, found that this colony was
located at Estero, only fourteen
miles away, and could be reached by
the auto carrying the mail.
Wishing to satisfy my curiosity
and seeming good story, ! made the
trip.
| found the colony beautifully To-
Gated on the bank of the Estero Riv-
or, only two miles from the Gulf OF
Mexico Unlike other colonies
there is no town plat, but the
grounds are artistically laid out, with
winding walks and semi tropical
trees and shrubbery, resembling the
estate of a millionaire.
Inquiring as to where and OF whom
l could procure information regard
ing the colony, | was directed to a
large two-story building which was
informed, was the printing office, and
directed to inquire for Mr.. A. H.
Andrews, the editor
He being busy, 1t being publication
day, he turned me over to DR.. Wei
mar, who courteously answered my
inquiries and from whom ! gathered
the following information:
The Koreshans are not foreigners,
as one might infer from the name,
but are all good Americans.
The name originated from the
name Koresh, the Hebrew name for
Cyrus, which was adopted by DR.. Cy
rus R. Teed, the founder of the sect,
who was born in the State of New
York, and was illuminated" in 1870
The peculiar belief of the Koresh-
ans is that the earth is hollow
sphere and we are living on the in
ner surface which can best be illus
trated by taking hollow globe and
pasting the map on the inside.
They further believe that the earth
comprises the universe, the whole
solar system being inside, the sun
the center-that there is no illimit-
able space in which revolve other
worlds outside the earth.
As to their theology | quote from
the founder: THE Koreshan System
includes the fact of reincarnation, the
doctrine of the resurrection of the
dead, a new sociology or system of
government, the basis of an universal
social system, and an adjustment Of
the industrial system with a view to
the equitable distribution of the
products of labor"
The colony was established in 1903
with about two hundred and fifty
members, of whom only about a hun
dred remain.
The members of the colony are all
celibates and all property is held in
common. When a person joins the
COLONY he turns into the common
treasury all his possessions.
The colony is incorporated under
the name Of The Koreshan Unity and
its affairs are managed by board of
directors. They own 5000 acres. in
which Is comprised two islands In the
Gulf.
Very little has been done by them
in the way of agriculture, their Of
forts being chiefly confined To IN

It would be easy for Lakeland to
raise her Liberty Loan allotment, Just
as 1t would be easy for her to do
many other things, if every one would
DO his part. But the trouble is, in
this, as in many other public move

doing the least in proportion to their

EARLY FALL FLOWING GIVES
BEST CROPS. SAYS EXPERT

ss Now that this crop is nearly ma
ture it Is time to begin to prepare
for next years crop. The experience
Of farmers as well as experimental
evidence goes to show that early fall
blowing returns the best crops. It
does this for the reason that a longer
period is given in which to decom-
pose the stubble and other particles
Of vegetable matter that are turned
under in blowing and because 1t
opens up the soil to the reception Of
fall rains, and also because it helps
to dispose of the weeds which trouble
the annual crops. Another reason
for fall p.owing early and for plow-
ing all the land is that it lessons the
amount Of work that has to be done
in the spring, thus permitting the
prompt sowing of the crops next sea-
son. Beginning early also enables
one to avoid crowding at any time,
thus making it easier botn for horses
and men.
The advantages of early fall plow-
ing are many, the disadvantages are
few, if any. Therefore, plow early,
deeply and we'll as insurance for a
good crop next year.-Andrew Boss,
division Of agronomy and farm man
agement, University. Farm, st. Paul.

Washington, July 19.-The little

quite considerably.
About 25O,000O00 pounds of
honey are produced annually in the

riculture announces. This is an I'm
portant contribution to the nations

days of sugar shortage. The depart

amount now produced. The avail

the purpose of ascertaining the exact
cost of production under present con-

this survey will show that it costs con-

that go to make up production cost.

LONG LIVE WILSON, IS
LATEST AUSTRIAN SLOGAN
Spirit of Revolt Is Prevalent
and Famine Prevails
Among Population

STOCKHOLM, May S.-The Politiken
today publishes an interview with "a
person in an important position who
has Just Travelled through the lands of
the Central Powers, where he came in
contact with a large number of infIu-
entail persons from different classes of
political parties AID PROFESSIONS includ-
ing also Russians. L1thuanians, Ukrain-
ians, Poles. Rumanians, Czechs and
Hungarians."
This person gives a very dark pic
ture of conditions in the dual monarchy
He declares that Austria, especially. is
in bad situation. Famine conditions
prevail and general discomfort was new
er so great, he says.
The different nationalties regard
each other like hungry wolves" the in
terview continues. THE Czechs are
united in supporting a Czechish repub-
lie and their ambition is separation from
Austria. Even the south Slavs are more
openly taking a front against the Haps-
burgs. The Poles are striving for "A
union with the Congress of Poland. The
spirit of revolt is rife among all these
three nations, and the sole desire is that
the enemy may conquer. Long Live
Wilson has become a regular cry in
wide circles.
I'm Austria the political struggle is
growing bitter and the government
dares not summon parliament. The sit
uation is tangled similarly in Hungary.
Hungary, which has plenty to eat,
bOycotts Austria, which is starving. AL
most nothing is coming from the
Ukraine because the Bolsheviki burned
everything on their retreat, and what
comes goes to Bohemia to help calm
the flames of instruction"
The informant declares that the labor
unrest is most acute, especially in Wen
ma and Prague. Entire regiments of
the dual monarchy's subjects, especial
ly Czechs, are fighting against the Ger"
mans in the Ukraine.
Conditions in Germany, the traveller
reports, are quite different. The food
situation is better than a year ago, but
the general feeling. even among the la
boring classes, is that victory is UNI
certain.

Farmers May Grind
Wheat Without Limit,
New Food Regulation

DR. Andrew NJ. SOule federal food
administrator for Georgia, announces
that the rules of the food administra-
ton have been modified so as to allow
farmers in this state to take their home
grown wheat to the mill and have it
ground into flour without limitation as
to quantity, provided they do so with
the intention and understanding in good
faith that they will use the -four in their
own families in accordance with the
conservation regulations of the food ad-
miniStration.
Up to this time. farmers in this and
all other states have been held down to
grinding sufficient to last them thirty
days on the basis of six pounds of flour
per person per month.
The modification announced by DR..
Soule becomes effective today, Wednes-
day, and was authorized by the authori-
ties in Washington on DR.. Soule's show
ing that many Georgia farmers raised
sufficient wheat in the past year to
feed their families, acting on the gov
ernments urgent request for increased
food production.
