IF we want to 60 back to the de-

Rubber in Fill Islands.

According to published statement
of his majesty's trade commissioner
to New Zealand. who has lately visited
the Fiji Islands, the rubber industry
is receiving much attention in those
islands, and New Zealand farmers
have planted large plantations there
that have produced quantities of rub
Der reported to be of very high grade.
II is claimed that there are thousands
of acres in the Fiji islands that are
we'll adapted to this industry, and 1t
is expected that extensive develop
ments will follow. The price of rub
Der at present seems very low. since
the market is so greatly restricted be-
cause of the war, but 1t is expected
when normal conditions are restored
that this will be come profitable in
dustry in these islands, where labor is
comparatively cheap.

her betrothed more than twenty years
ago. Angry at all men, she had this

anything" as she said.
But still she read the newspapers.
They were her only way of communi-

A few weeks ago people were sur

its main street. They wondered and
wondered until the woman herself told
Of the attraction which had brought
her from her seclusion. She had come
to see the soldier lads leave. The
