KINGSTON.

A few weeks ago, hurricane
swept across Jamaica and left a
large part Of the island waste. The
sea, running in great waves smash
ed the frail wharves and the homes
of thousands Of people. The wind
tore the bananas from the trees and
literally annihilated the crop.
A week after. this disaster, ex-
cept for certain amount of scatter
ed debris, visitor would never guess
that anything had happened to break
the even tenor of the islands life.
For Jamaica Is used to hurricanes.
1t lies right in the path OF these
terrible tropical storms, and has
been ravaged by them again and
again. Each time the Kingston
newspapers patiently record the
damage and the people go to work
to build 1t up. If the bananas are
destroyed there. are still; plenty OF
other fruits and vegetables to be had,
and plenty of fish in the bays and
rivers. In Jamaica. though nearly
everyone Is poor, no one is hungry,
SO bountiful is nature upon this tro-
pical island.
Kingston. a city of some sixty
thousand, is the center of govern
nent at Jamaica, its principal port
and metropolis. A prosperous town
1t is, but not exactly a busy one,
for when you go to Jamaica you
definitely and completely escapeNd
hurry and rush and loud noise. The
air is soft, the climate moderate.
The people are Industrious, but they
do not work too hard nor overlook
the pleasures of life. The spirit Of
Jamaica is well expressed in the tones
Of their voices. which are exception,
ally soft and liquid. In Jamaica the
English language, spoken with a slow
dtawl and with many queer native
elisfons and idioms, is actually con.
verified into a musical tongue.
The island of Jamaica is almost
all one mountain range. As YOU
approach, 1t lifts above the sea Just
just like distant range, viewed
across desert. But the Jamaican
mountains are nothing like those OF
the United States when you get a
closer view Of them. They are rich
blue-green of tropical jungle, and
all grow luxuriantly.
Kingston itself is 1nddled close to
the blue land-locked harbor. It is
city of low, succeed houses, at.
tractively decorated with tall royal
and cocoanut palms and aswarm
with dusky natives. For Jamaica IL
one of the most thickly populated
Parts Of the earth, and many gather
in Kingston to share in the rich har.
vests Of money brought by the tour.

FfaI,ne the stn.

To farmers who are fiiling silns
this year for the frst time. the az
Ticultural experiment station at
Morgantown offers these sugges-
tons:
The corn should be cut when kerr
nels are dented. OF when about a
fourth Of the husks and lower leaves
are turning brown. It should be as
near maturity as possible and yet
contain enough moisture to insure
fermentation.
Either a half inch or three-quar-
ter inch cut is best because that
length insures less waste and a
larger pack of corn in the silo.
Slow filing makes 1t possible to
pack the corn more thoroughly and
get in a larger tonnage. With rapid
filling the cost is less, but to fill to
capacity the silage should be allowed
to settle and then refill.
Corn should be uniformly packed
In the silo and with good distribu-
ton Of stalks and ears. II the sides
are kept about two feet higher than
the center, the sf1age wedges against
the sides. keeps in the heat Of fer
mentation and kills molds.
Water needs to be added when
filing, II the corn in the silo is not
moist. Water must always be added
when the corn is very ripe, when the
corn is severely frozen before 1t is
properly matured or when filing
late in the fall with shocked corn.

The American Dollar in Oh lie.

The New York exchange has taken
kthe place of the London exchange
for Chilean nitrate sales, according
ito a report just received by the bu-
reau OF foreign and domestic COM

Washington. Consul General Keena
at Valparaiso announces the sale to
an American firm of 1000 tons Of
nitrate with payment by draft on
New York for $155.0O0. However,
no adds that since there is no Amer
lean bank in Chile. much Of the
benef1t OF the tendency to establish
dollar exchange must be lost, as this
type of exchange is only temporarily

MERELY COMMENT

MENEL1 NOMMEN
Mayor Harrison says he held his
nose and voted the straight party
ticket. It is an old trick and poor
one.-Daily News.
What's an old trick-hoIding his
nose?
j.. If Vic means voting the straight
party ticket, why is that any worse
than voting straight ticket picked
by the News?
For a newspaper boss to pick a
ticket made up from men from vari-
GUS party tickets doesn't make that
necessarily the best ticket.
1t hasn't turned out best for the
people to have the newspapers run
the city government.
Evidently Bill Thompson knows
the difference between organized and
real charity.
And doesn't think much of charity
that costs 60 cents expense to get 40
cents to those who need it.
When charity becomes business
it ceases to be charity.
The surest way to get money to
pay teachers what they are worth
and run the public schools as they
ought to be run
Is to make taxdodgers pay their
taxes.
Here's betting that States Atty
Hoyne goes through with his fight to
make the big fellows pay their share.

but he won't be bossed by the press.
