returned Saturday from a trip to the
Ozark country, where they went on a
tour OF investigation to look into the

at Biggers. Sallee Bros. will operate
the Pocahontas factory and S. F. Har-
rison will operate the Biggers plant
Each will represent an investment OF
about $4,000.
We are asked to announce to all
farmers who want to grow tomatoes
for either market not to order plants
promiscuously. Both Sallee Bros. and
Mr.. Harrison will furnish the plants
of the kind best suitable for canning
purposes. All factory men insist on
selecting the kind of tomatoes they
wish to use. Get in touch with your
nearest factory man and he will give
all instructions necessary.

bid the latter company submitted to-
day, however, was described as high
er, and upon President Palmer S
recommendation the board deferred
action until Thursday. The Charles
ton company, meanwhile, will be noti-

FOES OF FAC|STS
DRIVEN TO EXILE
Liberal Leaders Flee After
Mob AttaCkS-VatiGan
Protests.
BY HIRAM X. MODERWELL.

By Gable to- The Star and Chicago Daily News
ROME, August 12.-There seems to
be an increasing exodus of political
leaders from Italy, due, according to
the statements of their friends, to the
impossibility of living here under pres
ent political conditions.
The liberal former premier. Orlando
recently went to Antibes, following his
resignation as Deputy and consequent
defeat of his party in the Palermo
municipal elections. Former Minister
of Labor Labriola has just received
passport to France and England.
Amendalo, the democratic leader of
the Aventine opposition, who was bad
ly beaten up a fortnight ago by
Fascist mob at the health resort of
Montecatini, has gone to ChamoniX.
The priest, Don Sturzo, leader of the
Catholic popular party, has been
voluntary exile to England, as has the
editor of his paper, Signor Donati.
Amendola is experiencing a long
convalescenCe following the attack by
10 Fascist at midnight on country
road when he was escaping in motor
car from MonteCatini where he was
besieged in a hotel by 900 Fascist.
1t is uncertain yet whether the sight
of one eye will be permanently dam
aged in consequence of his wounds.
Vatican Organ Protests.
A long series of acts of mob violence
by the Fascist against Catholic clubs
as we'll as the Association of War
Wounded, in the town of Parma, and
many individuals. has caused the Os-
servatore Romano, the official organ
of the Vatican. to protest in series
Of articles against this violence. 1t
btateS that, in civilized societies, law
and not mob violence should rule, as
ierting that the Italian government
ty duly Furnishing such violence could
make its chronic recurrence impossi-
BILE
OSservatore responded vigorously to
attacks by Fascist newspapers. This
seems specially important, because of
the fact that Osservatore has not for
years taken part in internal political
controversies. 1t is assumed that the
OSServatore could not carry on this
campaign against Fascist violence un-
less the Pope approved. This seems
to be confirmed by letter published
today, which was sent by Cardinal
Gasparri, papl secretary of state. in
the Pope's name to the secretary of
Social week" of the French city of
Lyon, in which he condemns "des-
perate recourse to violence as a final
order when moral force has ceased to
exercise its beneficent power"
