The Leader has made slight adj
vance in rates on advertising, as will
be seen by reference to notice in
another part Of this paper, We have
been taking in from Is to 40 new
subscriptions every week since the
opening of the fall season, and now
print more than 5000 papers weekly.
Our advertising rates up until now
have ben but little higher than they
were when we had only 1900 circu-
lation hence we feel justified in max
ing the slight advance and think fair
minded people will not criticize us
unfavorably for making the advance,
especially in view Of the fact that
the cost Of producing newspaper and
all the materials entering into it are
now nearly double what they have
been

Senator John X. Shields is spend
ing the congressional recess in Ten

who "stays on the job" and when
the senate is in session, he is there
attending to his official duties, re-
gardless Of the lspasmodic activities
of several able and honorable gen
tIemen who would be kind enough
to relieve him of his arduous respon-
sibilities. Whether or not it is mere
b. political camouflage on the part
of these gentlemen remains to be
seen. Senator Shields was in Cow
ingtoon Monday, presumably paying
a New Years Eve call, and was cor
daily received by his many friends
here.

Mans worl, is from sun Co sun.
 But woman's work is never done
 It would be difficult Co convince Exemption officers F. E. Smith and p. II. Fox of the truthfulness Of the above unless they are placed in a class with the women. On Monday of this week they completed the list and mailed the qucstionnaires and congratulated themselves that the rest was easy sailing, that a few minutes work each day would keep the slate clean. But in this they erred exceedingly. Every day since they have been busy with regis irants from two to three hours and their work is not yet nearly half completed. While they are not Kicking, they admit that the work is becoming rather tedious and "monopolous."

INCOMING PORTO RICANS
 EAGER FOR WORK

Among the Porto .Rtcan laborers who are being transported to America to supplement the labor supply are many men of 50 years or more.
 One of the most interesting and at the same time pathetic sights con- nected with the moving of these great numbers of men to the United States is the eagerness of the old men to reach what they considera a land of promise. They have worked in the island for the whole term of their ex- istence without a thought that they would ever be able to leave it, until now the wars demands have provided them with opportunities in a new country.
 When the first chance came the local office of the Department of Labor in San Juan was almost swamped with eager applicants for jobs in America. The men will be used largely in agricultural work in the south, where the climate will not be greatly unlike that to which they have been accustomed and where the agricultural conditions are similar to those in Porto Rico.
