JUST A PILE OF COCOANUTS

Shall cocoanut milk" replace intox
icating booze as chief beverage Of the
island, Porto Rico citizens are to de-
ternine at a general election on Mon
day next, July 16 1t is the first cleo
ton in which Porto Ricans vote as
American citizens. Seventy per cent.
of the 40, oo0 registered voters are il
litera,e and to enable them to make
their mark at the proper place, symbols
are being printed on the ballots. The
Prohibitiorists have adopted the CO.
coanut as their emblem and the anti
Prohibitionists have chosen the rum
bottle. The half mature Cocoanut con-
tains a pint Of liquid and constitutes
the cheapest and most healthful drink
that the tropics affords.
The Jones bill granting American
citizenship to the Porto Ricans con-
tains an amendment to the effect that
the island would go dry automatically
in March, 1918, unless a month before
the general election at least 10 per cent.
of the qualified voters should petition
for a referendum Recently petitions
signed by several thousand more than
the required $4,000 qualified voters were
presented to the supervisor of cleo
tions, who passed on only the required
-rumber stating that the rest were su-
perfluous, and granted the election.
The following communication from
Rev. Henry n. Pringle, formerly with
the Christian Civic League Of Maine,
ard who las recently visited Porto
Rico, is Of general interest:
(By H. n. Pringle.)
Porto Rico is the most densely pop
uIated Of the Greater Antilles. but less
so than the Barbados and others of
the Lesser Antilles. Thirty six per
cent. of the people are pardos GRAY.
or morenos (black), and the remainder
are white. There are $50 persons to the
square mile, and it is said that there is
no place in the island one mile dis
tant from a dwelling. The mountain
sides and many of the tops are titled.
This dense population is not supported
by manufacturing, as in Belgium OF
Rhode Island, but almost solely by
agriculture.
In addition to self support. the
people produced last year S61 10000
worth Of agricultural products for eN-
FORT against $39.0C0.000 of imports. On
my journey to Caguas, in the middle
of the island, no hill was SO high or
steep that it was not covered with
crops and native huts, and along
about every mile Of railway there were
half hundred cattle tethered singly
to utilize the grass growing between
the fences and rails. With a system of
roads in the interior, production of
fruit and coffee would be greatly in
creased.
