ILO1LO, Philippine Islands, Sept
14.-There is an exceptionally fine
opportunity for Americans with g
little capital to raise sugar here
and put the trust to route. No other
country in the world offers a bet
ter chance for the growing of the
great staple product.
Theh principal hardship under
present conditions is the high tariff
If the sugar trust would allow
the tart: to be removed the Ameri-
can housewife could buy sugar at
a trifie more than / cent a pound.
If the United States took all the
Philippine sugar that is produced
the bill would amount to only 1-3
per cent of what she is now spend
ing in all foreign countries, includ-
ing Cuba, for sugar.
The sugar interests of the United
States, which have bitterly opposed
the granting of free trade for Phil
ippine sugar, have made the argu-
ment that, should Philippine sugar
be admitted free of duty it would
destroy the whole industry.
Here is what Major Leonard
Wood, who is intimately acquainted
with the cultivation of sugar in
both Cuba, the Philippines, Java
and Hawaii, says: For the sugar
grown here in the Philippines now
we have the local and China mar
ket The United States
produces only about one-sixth of
the sugar it eats-perhaps one
fourth, including the sugar of Ha-
wall. The rest comes from Cuba,

Archer.
1t was near midnight when the
shabby man with a spade escorted
Archer to a corner in his own gar
den, pried up a flagstone in the
walk and began digging. In 10
minutes the spade encountered
some obstacle, and a moment later
the lid of a rusty iron box was
prled open and great canvas bag
was pulled out, a merry clink Civ
ing evidence of it's golden burden.
The bag was carried into the house
and the store, somewhat soiled by
moisture, was poured into a gilt
tering heap and the division was
made.
Archer was as anxious to have
the stranger leave the town at once
as the stranger could be. The
miser was anxious to be alone with
his store, and he gladly gave the
man bills for his share when the
stranger suggested that he could
not carry so much gold.
Next morning Archer was fever
ishly handling the coins, with the
blinds closed so that scarcely a
ray of light penetrated the room
when a golden eagle fell to the
floor 1t fell like a lump of lead.
1t was lead, and a miser fell in a
faint beside the hoard" while 20
miles away a shabby man felt OF
a large roll in his inside pocket
and then roared with laughter.

WHY PHILIPPINE SUGAR
IS SHUT OUT OF U, S,

I rope. The consumption of sugar
in the United States is increasing
at the rate of 100000 to 100000
tons a year. An enormous amount
| would have to be grown here to
even keep up with the Increased
annual demand at home. We grow
very little sugar out here. If we
grew 100000 tons and sent it all
to the United States it would not
amount to much. The object at
home is to protect the home in
dustry, but the industry is. insig-
nifcant there as yet; the United
States pay duty on four-fifths Of
their sugar in order to protect the
one-fourth or one-fifth they grow"
The people of the United States
pay more in direct tariff on sugar
than the total value of the. sugar
which is raised in the United
States.
There Is no large modern refin-
cry In the entire Philippine Islands.
Most Of the sugar is sent to Hong
kong to be refined. The machinery
in the Philippines, even in the best
mills, is very primitive.
Withcare, the best Philippine SUI
gar land will yield an average Of
from five to six tons an acre, and in
the case of exceptional land will
probably equal thatof Oahu with
its wonderful production records of
10 to 16 tons an acre. When one
adds that, as a rule, in the Philip
pines, especially on new lands, no
fertilization or irrigation Is needed,
the statement that Philippine sugar
land is equal to Hawaiian and sec
ond to none in the world seems to
be maintained.

SUNLESS WINDOW.
PLANTS THAT WILL THRIVE
WELL IN THE SHADE.
The White Petunla ls a Good Winter
House Plant That viii Bloom
ProfuseIy--AIl Palms Grow
in Shade

The common white petunia makes
a really charming plant for use in
shaded window. II is Of the easiest
culture. For winter blooming 1t should
be planted in the early fall. Give 1t
moderately rich soil, just enough wa
ter to keep the soil moist, and a
weekly bath to keep its foliage clean,
and 1t will bloom profusely.
When the branches seem to have
exhausted themselves by the constant
production of flowers cut them back
TO within a foot of the pot. In a
short time new branches will be sent
forth, and they will bear flowers OF as
fine size and as great profusion as a
young plant would be likely to give.
No plant can be removed more easily
or with better results.
The fuchsia is one of the most sat
isfactory plants for a sunless window.
II 1t is kept from blooming In the
summer 1t will begin to bloom as soon
as brought into the house In the fall
Give II a sandy loan and frequent
showerings.
The Gala is a very satisfactory
flower to grow in the shade. Its great,
luxuriant leaves are attractive in
themselves, and when to these are
added the pure white beauty of the
flower 1t forms an ideal plant for the
sunless window.
The white azalea gives vast
amount of pleasure II the room in
which II is kept can be regulated as
20 heat and moisture.
To grow II well the air must never
be dry and warm enough to exhaust
the vitality Of the plant. Fresh air
should be admitted daily, and the
temperature of the room should be
kept low.
Begonias are particularly adapted
to a sunless window and bloom with
great profusion.
The rubber plant does well in the
shade. So will nearly all of the
palms.
The best ferns for the sunless win
dows are the sword fern and the
Pteris tremula.
Asparagus plumosus is another
plant with foliage as dainty as lace
I'm texture, yet having the merit OF
standing heat and dryness of the at
mosphere very well. 1t requires a
sandy loan, moderate amount OF
water, and frequent showerings. II
is an especially decorative plant.
