In the British concentration camps
in South Africa are l37, 7,619 cooped up
by his majesty's troops to starve and
die, the wives and children of those in
the Boer army. OF these there died
in August 2,345 women and 1878 chill
dren. When Weyler was concentra-
ting and starving the Cubans, the
United States protested against the
crime. When Christian England is
the criminal we are silent.
The verdict is unanimous the world
over that Washburn-Crosby's Gold
Medal is the best flour on earth in
uniformity the year round. The
greatest output of the largest mills in
the country, the best flour in exist
ance are some of the reasons of the
worlds demand for this flour. Every
body buys it at $1.00 sack. The
"Orange Blossom" Fancy Patent at
csc a sack. The very best High
Patent ats 90c aSack. The T,ilv Whito
Patent at SOC a sack. Corn Meal,
Breakfast Food, Rolled Oats, Bran,
Shorts, Corn, Oats, Hay and Lawn
Grass Seed. These goods are just as
we represent them. Will always sell
at bottom prices for cash. The above
prices subject to market change.
Yours for business,

ISLAND FARNERS IN NEED
Porto Rico Wants 100000 Loan for
Benefit Of Agriculture
MASS MEETING CALLED FOR RELIEF
san Juan Chsmbcr of Commerce
Wants Planters. Bankers aud Mcr-
chants to Meet In Con-
ference sunday.

SAN JUAN. Porto Rico. March 2l-Thc
san Juan Chamber Of Commerce has called
a mass meeting for sunday Of the principal
planters. bankers. agriculturists and mer-
chants with a view to agreeing on some
feasible plan for the relief Of financial de-
preston.
The outcome OF the meeting will probably
be a petition to Governor Alien to call an
extra session OF the legislature and to au-
thorize loan Of from $4,000 900 to 5000. =
600 for the benefit OF agriculture The pro-
moters Of the meeting hope to impress the
governor with the expediency Of such a
measure.
In calling the meeting the Chamber cites
particularly the situation OF the coffee
planters who are unable to obtain funds
to husband their crops until harvest time:
funds are also necessary for cleaning and
fertilizing the ground but they are not
available.
The loan bill Of the House OF DELEGATES
was killed by the executive council. but
It is now believed that when the facts are
properly presented the former objections
will be removed. Small returns are made
by large plantations solely because Of the
lack OF little capital II is critical
time for the planters. There Is good au-
thority for the statement that IL the neces.
sary funds we're forthcoming they would
yield 80 i-3 per cent on the first invest
ment.
