Forrthe past few days the denizens
for this portion of the terrestrial sphere
have been treated to showers of rain
thick and fast, accompanied by raw
and chilling winds that would do no in
justice to the month of Mer;h. We
hope TO chronicle better things of the
weather for The balance OF the season.

Teachers, are you setting aside for
the County Fair your best school work
and other material which is listed in
the premium list? Each school should
send something. If no material is sent
there must be something wrong with
the teacher for surely there is some
work worth exhibiting. Besure that each
piece Of this material has ON the back
of it the name of the pupil, the num-
Der of the district, the town, the teach
ers name and the number of the class
under which 1t is listed II you are not
able to secure the last, please notify MS
and we will help you. This material
may be brought directly TO this Office
any time this spring. Bulky articles
like bird houses, tables, corn racks,
etc, should be brought directly to the
fair grounds on the first day Of the fair
The National Education Association
will meet in Milwaukee June 2g--July
9th, This Will be great meeting II
is to be hoped that Wisconsin will be
so well represented that we shall have
reason to be proud of our state. The
hotels will be crowded but rooming
places can be secured in private houses
Make your plans to come to this meet.
Ing. 1t may be the only chance for
many OF you to get the inspiration Of
such gathering. No young man or
young woman in the state who thinks
seriously Of continuing in the teaching
business should lot slip the opportuni-
ty to see and hear the leading educators
Of the United States. All who attend
should become associate members il
not active members. Let Meet me In
Milwaukee at the N. H. A. be the
slogan.

bre las pretensiones y exigen-
cias del Comite Conjunto Consul
two de los tabaqueros Gle Puer-
to Rico.
Ell conaicto actual cuesta va a
la isla de Puerto Rico las siguien-
tes cantidades: al Gobierno In
sular $500,000.00, por rentas in
ternas; a los trabajadores ST.
200,000.O0, por jornales deven-
gados; y, a la isla, $5,OO0,000.00,
de ventas que no Sc han efectua-
do. Como c0nsecuencia de esta
paralizaci6n en- los trabajos de
manufacture de la Compaiiia,
esta Sc We imposibilitada de po-
der hacer compras de tabacos,
por tener en- mano una gran eXis-
tencia, debido q no Eaberse ira
bajado durante los Ultimos Gin
co meses. Esto repreScntara,
acknowledgements, una perdida pa
ra los agricultores de tabaco del
pals, dc alrededor de $2,000,000,
pueS no estando ell el ncrcado
de tabaco la Compalia, la cual
es IL compradora mayor del Ia
baco de Puerto Rico, claro esta
que los precios seran mas ba-
JOS que 81 esta comprase la cam
tidad cue ha acostumbrado COM
prar para su manufacture.
Los sehores del Comite Con-
junto Consultivo indudablemen-
tie no han pensado en- el da1o que
estan hacienda no solo a la in
dustria> -tabacalera y al pals en-
general, sino a ellos nlismos pues
mientras mayor sea ell lapse de
tempo en- que este la Compailla
sin reanudar sus trabajos, ma
yor sera la perdida que tenga en-
sus marcas. En- otras palabras,
los fumadores que acostumbra-
ban usar tabaco de Puerto Rico
y que esten tres cuatro meses
sin conseguir estos, no han de
dejar de fumar porque no consi-
gan tabacos de Puerto Rico, sino
que fumaran otras marcas, y
una vez acostumbrados a ellos
Sc hace muy dificil conseguirlos
nuevamente a fumar ell tabaco
de Puerto Rico.
Aparte de las perdidas men
cionadas mas arriba, no cabe du-
da alguna que el capital ameri-
cano, como todo capital al fin, es
tfmido Y no Sc lanzara a nuevas
empresas en- Puerto Rico, a me-
nos que tenga la seguridad Gle
poder trabajar con el elerento
lobrcro de Puerto Rico, en- las
mismas condolences que Sc ira
baja en- los Estados Unidos.
Mientras los liders del elemen-
to obrero de Puerto Rico quieran
dominar al capital en- la forma
en- que 10 quiercn actualmente,
| no conseguiran atraer nuevas in
dustrias q Puerto Rico y, por ell
contrario, areyentaran y Sc
guiran ahuyentando cada dia
mas, nuevas enlpresaS que indu-
dablemente podrian dcsarrollar-
Sc, 81 pudiese haber estabilidad
en- los trabajos. =
En- un articulo publicado 1lti-
mamente por la Federation Lii
/
bre, sc dice que ell Sr. Toro publ
camente habfa dicho en- los perio-
dicos que estaba dispuesto a pa
gar los precios que los trabaja-
dores pidieran. Esto es absolu-
tamente incorrecto. Ell Sr. Toro
solo ha dicho que crela que en-
cuanto a jornal, podria llegarse

A belated letter from Lieutenant Ray Grantham. Signal Corps, U. S. A reaching s. C. Anderson of this city on the recnt mail, discloses that the well known signal officer was in France with the American forces on Sept. 18th. last, although apparently periences. Lieut.. Grantham writes
 that he was located in some part of q grape vineyard in France but just where it was he did not know. He was only sixty days in reaching France from Nome and says he had been moving steadily ever since land ing. Although not situated within sound of the big guns, he says. it was easy to see that he was in a warning country. He declares the country is just about 1000 years behind civiliza- tion and describes in amusing manner the absence of sanitation as- indicated by the building of houses and barns adjoining one another. The French seem to thrive on it he says and he has seen men and women of greatly advanced age living with the hogs and chickens Regarding the war. he says it is not use to try to tell ,y- thing about it as his correspondent reads and knows more about it than himself. German prisoners were to be seen in droves every day and IL d. most every place. Lieutenant Grau-

Much to the qualification of those who have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the belated mail from the states. the second mail consignment reaching Nome this winter, arrived at the postoffice about three thirty yes- tertlay afternoon and caused an inn mediate stampede in that direction as soon as the word was passed around The consignment consisted entirely of first class matter and weighed in the neighbo:hod of seven hundred pounds. The shipment con- tained letters and other matter mailed in most instances during the period between October 18th. and November 18th. The amount of belated first class mail still on the road is not de- finitely determined but is believed to be about equal in weight to that ar irving yesterday. The consignment arriving yesterday also contained mail from St. Michael, Dime, Candle and other points in the district. The work of distributing was accomplished with the usual dispatch by the post office force and all the States mail was in the boxes before midnight.
