July 13.?Vege tarianism and the. rigors of Saskat chewan winters are not compatible, at least in the experience of the Dcukhobors. a religious sect which Is planning to migrate to a clime whn-e winter months can better be -withstood without the aid of animal fats. Peter Verlgin. whoso official po sition with the Doukhobors is pres ident of the Christian Community of Unlvewurt-?Brotherhood, Limited, of Verlgin, Saskatchewan, is authority .*or the statement that the vegetar ians have 'found the Saskarhewan. province winters too rigorous to be withstood on their diet. Verigin and K. Caskoff, manager of the Doukhobor community, have gone east In search of a suitable tract, probably in the fruit lands of the province of Ontario, on which to locate their followers. The leaders believe that the next settlement of the Doukhobors. after they have, disposed of their Saskat chewan property, will be In the vicin ity of the Niagara peninsula, where a jam making industry probably will be established, such as haff'been sue ceMfully operated by Doukhobors r.t Brilliant. B. C. Verlgin pointed out that persons who eat meat, perhaps use stimu lant*. and find solace in smoking, had found Saskatchewan's climate suitable, but that vegetarlansm was one of the Important features of the Doukhobor creed, and not to be al tered because of climatic conditions. The migration will affect 1.500 per sons. POSTPONE < ONFF.HKNCF I NTlli MJMKTIMK lf?2l Wsshlngton.
