CACAO GROWING
In PHILIPPINES
GOVERNMENT ISSUES AeRIcuL-
TuRAL BUREAU REPORT SHOW
ING GREAT POSSIBILITIES OF
PLANT IN THE ISLANDS.

Washington, March 15-The bureau of
insular affairs. war department, has re-
eeived from the Philippine bureau of ag-
riculture a bulletin on cacao culture in
the Philippine islands. The bulletin says:
THE cacao grown in the Philippines is
of such excellent quality that there is
keen rivalry among buyers to procure it
at an advance of quite 50 per cent over
the common export grades of the Java
bean, notwithstanding that failure ON the
part of the local grower TO process OF
cure the product in any way. In parts Of
Mindanao and Negroes, despite Ill treat
ment and no treatment the plant exhibits
luxurlance of growth and wealth of
productiveness that demonstrates its en-
tire fitness to be considered a valuable
crop in these regions.
Recent statistics place the worlds de-
mand for cacao exclusive of local con-
sumption) at 20o.0OO,OOO pounds. valued at
more than $4,000, 600 gold. There is. there
fore, it Is stated, little danger of over
production and consequent low prices for
many years to come
Cacao Is cultivated nearly everywhere
in the archipelago. It can be grown at
an elevation of 1000 or 1900 meters. The
bulletin gives detailed information re-
specting the planting cultivation and
harvesting of cacao crops.

BEWARE THE YOUNG WIDOW.
When You See Ruche in Her Hat
That's Sufficient Warning.

chicago, March IA young widow
VINO wears white ruche in her hat is
dangerous element in society. That is
what Mrs. Ida Hunt made many VISITING
milliners believe at the closing session of
the convention in the Masonic temple yes
terday
The young widow with a ruehe was
said to be very bold and designing. The
older or matronly widow who wears one
shows a gentle, sweet. kindly nature,
truly grieving over a departed soul. But
beautiful things were not told of tho
younger woman in misfortune If she
wears this ruche it is because she thinks
she is irresistible in it and because she
hopes some man will find the face SO at
tractive he will ask her to discard the
black bonnet and white rufae for his
sake"
And If these young widows insist then
talk gently to them when you have an
opportunity and convince them not ia
take their long wells and spotless ruchs
to theatres" she said.
Also mention that they ought not to
wear jewels. Say to them; If you are
smothered in diamonds and wells. where
can your heart lines be? How will anyone
know you care so much% "
