PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-THE
story of struggle for existence in
the latter years of her life by a once
famous dancer of Europe and Amer
lea came to light as the body of Fran
cheschina Paris was borne to its last
resting place.
Clutching ballet slipper in which
she had appeared many years ago
before the Car of Russia, Miss Paris
was found dead in her bare little room
on Saturday by neighbors, who had
wondered why she had not appeared
that day. In the room were found
photographs from Paris, London, Ber-
lin. Rome and Vienna, clippings in
dozen languages telling of her sue
cesses and music dedicated to her.
Neighbors, who had aided her in
recent years. provided funds for her
funeral. Examination of the articles
found in her room revealed her iden-
tity.
Miss Paris was born in Caserta,
near Naples, in 1856, the daughter
of Francesca Paris, a musician. She
was only IS when she appeared be-
fore the Car.

ing. Unfortunately for the Gamers
this is one of the crops that there is
some concern about. The price offer
ed by the packer this year is 25c a
basket, which hardly allows any pro
fit to the farmer. In the opinion of
many it should be at least 35c and
possibly 40c basket. But the can
ners are up against the proposition of
competing with competition from
abroad and particularly from Italy.
Even the government officials realize
that the duty should be increased on
Italian paste and canned tomatoes. In
Italy it is possible to get labor for
SOC day, the laborer working Ia
hours for a day. In other words, the
Delaware farmer has to pay as much
for a white faborer for one day as the
Italian Gamer has to pay for six days
In addition to this the white laborers
in Delaware don't like working Ia
hours a day. For that reason the
Italian packer can pack tomatoes and
tomato paste and ship it to America
paying the freight and duty and even
sell at lower rate than the American
Gamer. Cantaloupes and watermel-
ons look good at this time but they
haven't progressed far enough for any
definite conclusion as to the yield. The
wet weather caused much replanting
and this has been a handicap to the
farmers. 1t is expected there will be
fair crop of sweet potatoes. Be
cause of the difficulty of disposing of
them quickly last winter, many Of the
sweet potato growers have reduced
their acreage bit and this is gener-
ally believed to be a wise decision.
