Thousands OF them worked on the
Panama Canal and were regarded as

Bad Morals
The average peasant does not marry.
consequently there are many illegi-
innate children on the Island. and IN
many Instances the missionaries have
persuaded them 10 marry. and as
many as twenty-five emonies have
been performed IN one day. although
It is doubtful II the jamaican really
knew what he was doing. The African
slave did not bring any exalted moral
ideas with him and he stiil retains
many Of his customs The high class
jamaican defends the peasant IN this
non-marriage and declares that the
poor negro IS more faithful 70 his
common law wife than the aristocrat
IS TO his legal one. 1t seems TO be
English policy IN all her colonies not
to disturb the old customs OF the peo-
pie.
Religion
AS to the religion OF the Island. II Is
naturally the Church OF England but
with the peasant Il is a superstition
almost as bad as that Of Haiti, and
the natives have some weird rites
which they practice in secret. and ST

the evangelist Is at his best. for the
natives are naturally shouters and
holy-rollers, and under religious ex-

OF the African fanatic often a ma

in progress, and when they are pro-
longed many cases OF insanity result.
They are great believers IN ghosts and
frequently meetings are held 10 cast
out evil spirits The missionaries
have accomplished much with these
people and are warmly welcomed by
the British Government.
AS a rule the natives are polite and
like the American. If he resides per-
manently on the Island he IS a bust
ness man who pays them a fair wage
and does not overwork them; If he is
tourist he spends money. and IN both
ways he Is profitable.
Language
They have q peculiar language
peculiar sing-song type. and use words
which at times are very difficult for
an American TO understand. This was
illustrated by an American tourist who
saw a large crowd collected around
the public park at Kingston. Unable

Running 4 Boarding House
By James J. Montague

We've gone out of the boarding

business when you know how to run

wisely. but too well.
We never had any complaints; but
on the other hand we never took IN

The Island Which May Yet Belong To the United States
An Intimate Sketch of the Most Beautiful
Island of the West Indies.

- HI Island OF Jamaica Is one OF
a tho most principal Islands OF the
"a West Indies. It's location south
- OF Cuba IS an important one as It
lies in the pathway OF the traffic from
the North Atlantic to the Panama
Canal It's proximity 10 Cuba also
gives II a significance when one con-
siders the possibility OF trouble be-
tween our country and the British
Empire. While such trouble IS not
anticipated. the recent war has taught
us the value OF preparedness and
many far-siEhted statesmen believe
nat tho dominant influence or the
United States should cover all OF the
West india Islands-in fact. Il should
become the American Mediterranean.
Every consideration points 10 that end.
Jamaica is at our very door, our mar
kets are the best for them whether
they cuy or sell. and our interest IN
the Panama Canal requires that all
the highways 70 Il should be guarded

There is a large amount OF American
capital Invested on the island. the
banana Industry being for the most

managed by Americans.

Jamaica IS by far the most beauti-
ful OF the West india Islands. as Us

knowing this our tourist agents send
hundreds OF people there each year
over two hundred and fifty years

Non Partisan Judges Not
Candidates Of Mp. League

Designation of the supreme
court primary election as mon
partisan" has given some voters
The false impression that Justices
]. B. Bridges, Chief Justice O. R.
Holcomb and w. w. Tolman are
appearing as candidates o. the
Non Partisan League forces.
Under the law, all judicial
elections in the state are non-par-
tiSan, no party candidates being
allowed. The Non Partisan Lea
que has made no apparent move
to take part in the supreme court
election as an organization.
Justice j. B. Bridges is also be-
ing confused by some voters with
Robert Bridges, former port com
missioner of Seattle, who may be
nominaed by convention as a
candidate for governor. Justice
Bridges is an old resident of Aber-
deem and is no relation to Robert.
A separate ballot will be used
IN voting for supreme court Jus

elections, to distinguish it from

the ballot and voters should III

The general health and condi-

certain that there will be at least
one more month laying before

flock averaged a STA per cent
production for August which
a COZ per cent lay for the ten
months since November LIST. The
average production of all birds in
the contest up till September 1st,
ten months, is 1858 eggs.
There is little change in the
leading hens and leading pens.
There is "A noticeable falling off of
the lay of the heavy birds due pos
sibly to the hot weather but Ger
tainly not to broodings as might
be expected.

In the detailed summary sent out
