FACTS AND FIGURES
Touching the Rock Island Tropical
Plantation Company.

The company holds clear title to
1900 acres of hardwood timber.
This timber before it was purchas
ed was found to contain more than
12O trees to the acre where it APP
peared to be of average and uniform
density.
These trees will average over 3
Gee feet of lumber per tree, which
will amount TO $4,000 feet per acre,
or a total of 2,SGO,OOO,0O0 feet.
BUT SUPPOSE
That it will average only One-fOurth
of this amount; that Will still mean
G0,0O0 feet per acre. or total pro-
portion of more than 100000, 900
feet. This lumber includes a large
proportion of such woods as ma
hosany, Zapote, chicle, Spanish ce-
dar, paque. and many other equally
valuable varieties, some of them
selling in the American market at
$3.50 per thousand.
Ii sells at the railroad in Mexico
at $50 to 500 per thousand, or an
average at American railroad mar,
kets at $500 per thousand.
NOW SUPPOSE
That the cost of cutting, milling and
marketing this lumber will amount
to $50 per thousand That will leave
an average profit of $50 per thOus
and.
BUT SUPPOSE
That only One-half of this can be
realized There will still be a ne
profit of $23 per thousand, which
multiplied by 100000. gives a tota
profit Of $17.5OO,OC0.
This means a net profit of 81,

BUT HERE'S ANOTHER POINT.

Only a small proportion of our
stock has been sold, and it is more
likely that we will never need to
sell more than one-half of our stock.
This will not only double our divi-
dends, but double our holdings as
well. since the unsold stock will be
issued as stock dividends.

The popularity of navy blue has led to
the designing of every conceivable
kind of blouse In the favored tones
of blue. or in combinations of blue and
white. blue and tan, or blue and scarlet.
Blouses I'm the shops on this order at
tract much attention Many OF them
are not very expensive. and yet there
is not one that could not be made at
less expense by the clever needlewomap
at home
The best way for the home dress
maker TO do is 10 study all the blouses
in the various smart shops and then
go home and think about IL and utilize
any material she may have, together
with her original ideas, In the creation
OF one or more blouses along this line,
which will be entirely individual, and
will possess the additional advantage
of fitting perfectly. There is one thing
true-no ready-made blouse ever nts
at the neck. And that is the vitai
point OF a we'll made blouse. The con-
glomerate numbers OF waists which are
pinned and overlapped irregularly at
the back OF the neck, and thus thrown
entirely oT of composition, are scorry
sights for the woman of neatness ana
good taste.
There is nothing moro pleasing than
the combination OF blue--navy blue
with white Everybody agrees that good
taste demands the separate waist to he
either OF the same tone or TO repeat IN
some way the tone of the Jacket and
skirt with which IL Is TO be worn. SO
bodices OF blue and It's combinations
bid fair Co be generally popular as long
as the tailor made suits of the present
fancy do not wear out. sheer materials
are greatly favored and Transparent
cies, in every form and kind, are adj
missible in the creation OF the smart
blouse Of the day.

finest chlffons and veilings to coarse net
dyed laces and even organdies and mus
