which the advocates OF immediate In
dependence are lndlng difficulty In
solving
The present government through the
bureau OF public works. has established
public improvements throughout the
Islands contributing TO marked eX-
tent To the prosperity which they now
enjoy. These vary In cost from S250
10 S250.0O0, ana so per cent OF them
are constructed by the administration
itself. private contractors refusing TO
submit bids on the hazardous under
takings.

THREE CAWS FOR JlMCR0W!

culture Experts Find.

That the crow is not as black as he
Is painted is the conclusion reached by
experts of the department Of agricul-
ture who have examined several thou
sand craws Of the despised bird. An
error was made ten years ago. the In
vestigators declare, in spreading broad.
cast q warning against "old jimcrow."
A report announces that the crow
does more good than harm: he eats
more pests than crops. His one beset-
ting sin IL devouring the eggs aud
young Of other birds. but the contents
Of his craw prove that about nine
tenths OF his food consists OF insects
and other crop destroying creatures
"Don't be too hard on the crow that
squawks about your farm" Is the ad-
vice given by the department OF agri-
culture to the farmer.

are considerably reduced.

In the state for beef there has been a
great deal more killing OF cattle on

The office OF public roads Is acting In
