Remember, the Vegetable Compound

her guests even to take Off their
hats until Mrs. Rosebrook said,
Nora, aren't you even going to ask
us to stay, after we've come way
over here?"

dreaming about thirty years ago, so
we were obliged to excuse her
Finally, after no little merriment,

FINLANDERS WILL BE BROUGHT TO GEORGIA

JESUP. Ca, Feb. 24.-The success of colony of Finlanders established at Fairfield, 16 miles from here, about year ago has resulted in the completion of plans to bring another colony to this section at once, it has just been learned. The Films will be located on a 6,000 acre tract on the Jesup-J Jacksonville road. The first colony was started by W. J.. Mattson of Gardiner, Mass
 Dairying and farming are the prin- cipal occupations of the new settlers and they have built up an indus trious and prosperous community, 1t is stated.
 Each of the settlers is assigned to a 200-acre tract of land. They open accounts for food. supplies and other necessities and when the crops are harvested the farmers pool their grain and products, which are sold through cooperative marketing plan At the end of the year when accounts are balanced. the Films, as stockholders, draw dividends. Cot ton, sweet potatoes and tobacco are the principal crops handled.
 As an example of what can be | done. it Is stated that the Films have made a profit from clearing the land of stumps and waste, the sale of the wood to a fuel concern in Brunswick more than paying for the work of clearing the land.

GIANT WHITE PINES OF SWITZERLAND ARE DESTROYED BY BLIGHT.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2I. = Giant white pines in Switzerland, 11s years old and 130 feet in height, are be- Ing killed by white pine blister rust, and no effort is being made to con- trol this disease. according to pr. Perley Spaulding of the United CT an eight months study of rust conditions in Europe,
 Dr. Spaulding. who made the trip to determine the extent of damage done to old trees and to seek any rev data on the disease, says white pine blister rust has been known in Switzerland since 1854. Only within the last 10 years has 1t scread to state of destructiveness. The urgent necessity of cooperating in the attempt to control the spread of the disease in the United States, he says, will be better realized and facilitated by lumbermen when it is understood that the disease affects only trees as easily as young seed lings.
 While the disease has reached a stage in the New England states be- yond a possibility of complete eradi- cation, it is of vital importance to prevent its spread to other forests that are free from the infection. Though state and county officials of the United States department of agriculture is engaged in an active campaign in preventing the blister rust from becoming a widespread menace.

FOREIGN COMMERCE OF
 JAPANESE INCREASES

TOKYO. Feb. 24-"The Japanesefor- eign trade for the year 1922 indicates a slight improvement over the pre- ceding year." said MT. Arai, minister of commerce. Up to November, 1922, for instance. exports reached 1,47S,- 200, 900 yen and imports 1,745,73o.ooo ven, thereby registering an increase in the former of 371.770,o00 yen and of 300, GOO, 900 in the latter. It is q matter for congratulation that in the latter half of the year 1922, tho trade resulted in the excess of export over import due chiefly to the brisk de- mand abroad for silk.
 viewed as whole, however. there is something in the past for eign trade that indicates depression of business beyond the extent of the usual years. But this is tendency common to all the world nations, nor is it insurmountable if efforts be made for the improvement, so far as Japan is concerned, of the quality of goods and the reduction of prices.
 "In the hope of attaining these desirable improvements, the govern ment is resolved to employ every possible means by dispatching early this springs commercial commissioners abroad for the purpose of inspection and the appointment of special com mittees for the investigation or ln- dustrial possibilities"
