UNIVERSAL FOOD IN TROPICS
Many Varieties of the Bread Fruit
Tree Are Scattered Throughout
Southern Lands.

1t is of interest to note the flour and
biscuit of the tropics. There are
dozen different bread fruit trees scat
tered throughout tropical regions. One
Of the flOurs, made from the bread
fruit tree of tropical America known
as the yuka, is a regular article of
commerce I'm the New York market
1t is only sold in cartons at elite
groceries, is quite a pure article, of
a dingy, grayish-whfte color, and a
slightly alkaline and hardly agreeable
taste. In cooking that alka1inity and
acridity are mostly driven out. In
It's fresh form it is in shape elongated
like a giant plantain, and for drying
and conversion into flour is cut down
before ripening so that it has like a
green banana, not a semblance Of
sweetness. But the same fruit, al
lowed to ripen fully, then sun dried,
becomes almost as sweet as Smyrna
fig. This tree-grOwn cake bread is
eaten dried thus, end along with the

A CLEANUP NEEDED

The unfortunate occurance Of
yesterday, as a result Of which a
negro was accidentally shot in the
arm, calls attention TO the neces-
sity Of cleanup campaign by
the officers in this community.
Il is common knowledge that
quantities Of illicit liquor is be-
ing sold throughout this co1l-
nuniTv and it is also generally
known in an Indefinite way who
The principal boot-leggers are and
where the supplies Of this vile
monkcy-rum and "White tighten
ing can be secured. This con-
dition has been winked at So
long that these vendors Of illicit
whiskey have come to have an ut
ter disregard, and absolutely no
respect for law, and if a whole
some respect is not created for
law and law enforcement, sooner
or later some valuable citizen is
going tc lose his life through the
breeding Of these criminals.
Thees bottleggers can be caught
and will be caught and placed
where they should be, safe in the
arms OF the law. if public senti-
ment will assert itself and real
demand from the better element
is made upon the officers Of the
law to do their duty, and the trial
officials are given to underst and
that such penalties must be i'm
posed that the officers are up
held il, their efforts. It is a
shameful disgrace upon the good
name Of this community that
these notorious characters are
permitted to wander at large and
ply their trade to the affront OF
decent citizens No matter
whether one may be a prohibi
ZIONIST at heart Or not, and wheth
:er he wants his drink or not, l.
IA law is on the statute book;
making it illegal to make an:
traffic in liquor the law shoult
be enforced, and it seems TIA
the time has come when a clean

though something OF reactionary
tendency was shown by the cotton
market In the carly sessions of the

on bullish anticipations regarding

sion from the government. Highest
prices came in the closing session,
when July touched 20.SgC and the
