Safe Leading Strings.

WASHINGTON. May 5.-A report
on the textile trade of Porto Rico and
Jamaica was made public today by
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce of the department of COM

textile trade of Porto Rico and will
continue to do so when the war is
over unless the business is badly man
aged in the meantime. In Jamaica
the United States is second to Eng
land in the textile trade, and the re-
port states tina here are opportunities
for improved business there.
The report contains chapters on the
character and extent of the trade in
cotton fabrics. woolen. fabrics. knit
goods. and ready-made clothing, and
on trade methods and the future of
the trade. 1t is the work of Special
Abent W. A Tucker, who is to cover
the whole of the West Indies and
Latin America There are 81 pages

1t will be remembered that Georgs

auto load of flour which he bought in
Grass Valley much below the market
However. II is not generally know that
someone a few nights later stole all OF

has contributed this gem of practical
poetry:
George Stangier is a prudent man,
A man of some renown.
His flour he buys where best he can
And fetches it to town.
But scurvy knaves who pilfer men
And eke would build a bun.
Despoiled his cache of all therein
And now poor George has none.
