LA SITUACION

xJamas sc VIC en- Puerto-Rico una
situaci6n mas diffcil que Ia presente:
IN conficto International que
amenaza envolvernos en- los horrores
de una guerra injusta, ideada por una
nacion locamente ambiciOsa, empul
g. por unos cuantOs simp patizadOres
aparentes de la libertad, pero que no
son otra cosa que IN conjunto de hon.
bres para quienes el derecho de gentes
es un mito, el respeto Ia agena
autoridad es letra muerta.
La crisis monetaria como conse-
cuencia del estado de cosas ante-eX
puesto:
La falta de trabajo para la clase
proletaria, nacida de la escasez de
dinero.
La escasez de artfculos de primera
necesidad producida por la falta de
importaciones.
Y como corolario de todo ESQ, ell
hambre, Ell fatidico fantasma de | a mi
seria asomandO su faz terrible:
Y despues de todo ESQ, IN gobier-
y
torpe malquisto con la opinion pd-
blica.
Horrible situacion!.
Pero apesar de tantos quebrantos
como sufre esta terra sin ventura,
hay una circunstancia que aminOra
los pesares, y hace renacer en- nuestro
pecho La esperanza: esa circunstancia
es la nota patri6tica que mueve un
mismo compas todos los resortes de
la sociedad puertorriq

CHEESE IN
In Spite of Seventeen Hundred Fac
tories In state There Is No over
Production.

you might as well look for an over
production Of children as an over-pro-
duction OF cheese" said U. S. Baer, sec
rotary OF the Wisconsin Cheese Makers
association, at the Republican house,
to a Milwaukee Sentinel reporter,
The fact that we have upward of LOO
cheese factories In Wisconsin has raised
the cry that the business is being over
done. The people of this country have
not yet learned TO eat cheese. but they
are coming to It. Let me tell you. the
consumption per capita in England is
nearly IL pounds a year, while in Wis
cousin II is only about three pounds a
year to each person. We are above the
average OF the states In the consumption
OF cheese. Notwithstanding we are SO
far behind the Englishmen In this re-
spect. There were produced In Wiscou-
sin during the past year 90,0O0,G00
pounds Of cheese. which is more than a
quarter Of the whole amount produced
In the United States. The average price
has been ten cents e pound. so that you
can see, with possibly the exception Of
butter, the making of cheese is the first
single farm industry IN the state. There
is no Wisconsin cheese being exported.
for the simple reason that the domestic
demand takes all the supply"
