made since 1916 in Jamaica TO increase
the production of foodstuffs locally. A
statement made in the Journal of the
Jamaica Agricultural Society for Fehru-
airy 1920, shows that these efforts have
met with considerable success. There
has been an immense reduction in the
imports of foodstuffs as compared with
the average imports for the years. be-
fore the war. This reduction is especial
ly notable in products which a easily
be grown locally, such as corn, peas and
beans, and rice. The average amount
of corn imported in the three years 1910
Ii was 263, 808 b.sheIs; this has steadily
decreased until only 6 bushels of this
article were imported in 1919. Imported
corn meal has fallen from "a, 426 barrels
to 1902 barrels. Whereas 18, 1923
bushels of peas and beans was the an
nual import before the war, only S79
bushels were imported in 1919. Rice
has also shown a remarkable decrease
IN import, only 1896, 244 ID, having been
imported in 1919, as compared with an
average of IA, $50, 215 ID. before the war.
Other Imported foods also show for most
pant a considerable decrease in import,
as, for instance, condensed milk, which
has decreased from So, 400 cases to 25,-
6O8 cases Butter also shows a remark
able decrease from Liza, 999tb to 16O,-
AS tb and only SIT ID. Of salt beef were
imported in 1919, as against 1866 ID.
in the years before the war.
The above figures show Enthusiastically
that Jamaica is to be congratulated on
the efforts made in this direction, 1t is
hoped that this activity may be contin-
ued. Barbados Globe, 10th May.

Although the island group consisting
OF st. Thomas, st. John and st. Croix,
with their tributary isles and Gays, were
bought outright by the United States for
$25, coo, 600, the work of Americanizing
the inhabitants has been delayed. The
islanders are held to be legally neither
citizens of Denmark nor this country.
Legislation to establish citizenship is
proposed BY the joint Congressional Com
mission that recently visited the former
Danish possessions.
1t is to meet the present need that
Mrs. Oman has volunteered her services
as an educator. Her first work along
this line was confined to teaching her
three children, but the field Of activity
was soon extended to include boys and
girls in the French colony.
Concerning her Americanization endea-
vors, Mrs. Oman writes:
Pleas for lettering the little French
colony are bearing fruit and | am in a
happy mood as a result. These people
settled in St. Thomas some years ago
Part OF them constructed homes on the
mountains and the remainder made their
abodes at the waters edge. 1t is sup
posed that they came from Normandy,
and rhis would seem likely, as they have

Normandy peasants.
Living in extreme poverty the men
as fishermen. the women making hats
and baskets-they married and multi
piled. bringing undernourished children
into the world. But despite poverty,
hardship and neglect they have kept
their pride of race md their Catholic
filth.
Their one salvation is that they live
pretty much in the open air. They have
cabins which they make and own-pay-
ing rentals of from Is cents to 50 cents a
month for the land. The majority of
the families. | should say, live in one
room. One family, the richest, consist
ing of man wife and six children, live in
opulence in a cabin with two rooms.
Before the advemt of the americans
these people were neglected By the Danes,
Wh0 deliberately and consistently turned
a blind eye and deaf ear to anything and
anybody needing help.
when we come l was told that these
people aUere mendGcGnts, that they thGeved,
and that they were Immoral. No parh
euldr effort has been made, | discovered,
TO m0ke the children 90 to school. Who
told so?

1t is a sore point with these people
that their little ones must go barefoot.
| have comforted the parents as best |

the children more ~presentable | have
already started this work in a small way
with some of our children's old clothes.
L find that the majority of mothers
and their daughters know nothing about
sewing. At my request the old French
ment house and the old gentleman, when
he heard my plea for a sewing school,
placed a building entirely at my services.
He also promised to support my plan to
the limit of his ability.
Il have a woman ir view to teach
them. She is not a finished seamstress,
but will do to start with; and | expect to
help, of course.
The French consul wished to place
in my hands any funds for the French

caise, but of course a thing of that kind
cannot be entered into off hand. | seem
to be the first governor to interest her
self in these poor souls. | do hope that
we may better the condition of these
people.
For the first time regular school
books, have been introduced. Truly on
ly 20 per cent of the required number,
but 90 per cent is &c per cent. The ma
tive teachers have to attend a class for
teachers every Saturday,
The public schools have been given
American names-George Washington,
Abraham Lincoln. Monroe, etc.
The streets still retain their Danish
names, but in time this will be changed.
The pc pulace is English speaking"
In a letter of later date Mrs. Oman re-
ports the progress of her sewing class
and adds:
my ten girls have already turned out
garments to wear to mass on Sunday.
So you see they are getting results. |
have given them some old garments
which they have refitted to themselves"
The island of St. Thomas, which is the
scene of Mrs. Oman's activities, is about
1400 miles from New York, and sixty
miles east from Porto Rico. Owing to
its geographical position and it's excel
lent harbor, it is considered the best coal
ing station or port of refuge in the West
Indies. St. Thomas contains a popula-
ton $4,000 acres, and has approx
mateIy of about Ii, 900. 1t is thirteen
miles in length and three in width at it's
widest part. The Bulletin of California.

BLOW We WINDS

A wind storm, such as has seldom
been known in Glenwood, occurred last
Sunday and extended over the most
of Garfield and other western slope
counties.
The air was filled with whiriing
dust and awnings, roofs, boards, limbs
of trees were dislodged and sent fly
ing across the country, making travel
by any means dangerous pastime.
Chimneys and stovepipes were blown
down, telephone and telegraph poles
gave way before the rushing wind, and
the roof was lifted completely from the
Cardncli cement building on Pitkin
avenue, carried through the air entire
ly across the street and deposited in
front of the Darrow property, almost
landing on the roof of the barrow
home. No heavy financial loss has
been reported, however.
