PROSPEROUS PORTO RICO.

Few give much thought to Porto
Rico except under the general cate
CORY of lone of those islands that we
got from Spain.'' Yet this compare
lively unconsidered isle is rapidly de-
veloping into one of Uncle Sans best
customers. American government has
encouraged the ambition and energy of
the inhabitants. and in the last nine
years the island has increased it's trade
marvelously, some 445 per cent. to be
exact. Last year our exports to Porto
Rico amounted to about $2S,0o0,000,
or as much as our combined sales to
Bolivia, Columbia, Costa Rica and the
Dominican republic, or exceeding the
purchases of either Brazil or China in
this country.
The present year is reported to be
the most prosperous in the islands
history, and the total for next year, by
reason of increased acreage in tobacco,
sugar cane and fruits, is expected to
reach Ss5,000,000, compared with but
100000 nine years ago. Porto
Rico has not figured in the revolution
airy or insurrectionary chronicles, all
though the insular politics have at
times been stormy, but in politics as
in business the natives appear to have
become thoroughly Americanized, self
reliant and ogressive.-P1ttsburg

From all over the country comes
the cry OF overcrowded school houses.
This don't mean that the population
is increasing so rapidly, but the peo-

realize the need of an education This
trouble is not experienced alone in the
cities, but in the rural schools as well.

received but a few months schooling
and the rest of the time was spent on

THE NEWSPAPER AS SALESMAN
The majority of retail store custom
ers, before starting out on fall shop
ping forays, study the newspaper ad-
vertis1ng. This habit is a great time
saver.
The shopper escapes fruitIess visits
TO many stores, and needless bothering
or clerks, by learning in advance where
she is likely to find what she wants.
She gives very little attention to the
places that fail to inform her as to
their offerings
Many women. too. having become
personally acquainted with the store
people, dislike to enter their places of
business unless they feel fairly sure of
buying They avoid this embarrass-
ment by learning in advance through
the newspaper where they can prob
aDly supply their needs.
Thus it is that many sales are prac-
tically made before the buyer leaves
her home. 1t has been proved over
and over again that the trade will
pass stores with a main street loca-
ton that fail to advertise. hunt up
poorly located shops on back streets
that are well advertised. A merchant
might as well close his shutters in

WHAT WAS EXPECTED.

The city administration of Wichita
took the city printing away from the
Eagle and gave it to the Beacon, be-
cause the Eagle persisted in exposing
the corruption and rottenness of the
city. From what we have been hear
ing of Wichita lately, this is about
what might have been expected from
its city administration. Like many
other people they doubtless expected
that when they gave the city's printing
to paper, they had a right to the
continued support of such paper, no
matter what they might do. In this
they were mistaken. Kansas newspap-
ers can live without the city's or
county's printing, but they cannot live
and prosper unless they fearlessly ex-
pose all public MISREPRESENTATION
