the average. Some of them when
4 years old weigh as much as 1900

The cattle receive very little at

ally free from predatory animals,
but, of course, there is the tick and
the screw worm to be dealt with.
Also let it be mentioned that there
are no cattle rustlers in this coun-
try.
If there is one trouble more than
another in this country it is that
life is too easy. To make a living
requires very little work. The soil
is phenomenally fertile and culti-
vation is easy. Corn produces from
two to three crops q year. and
potatoes the same. Oranges grow
wild and grapefruit and lemons the
same. The bread fruit is something
of which We have read much in our

Costa aRicans insist that they
grow better pineapples than are
grown in the Hawaiian islands, bet
ter cane than Cuba. better oranges
and grapefruit than Florida, better
cocoa than Ecuador, better coffee
than Brazil and more corn per acre
than can be grown in Iowa.
But the land here is exceedingly
cheap. except that close to trans
portation, because there are nearly
no roads. The lands close to water
or rail transportation are quite
high priced-from $500 to $500 an
acre.
The Costa Rican government is
just awakening to the necessity for
road building. and bond issue for
that purpose is expected this year.

As the result of the American

there is an advance agent in Dona

We do not believe it necessary to
recapitulate the undesirable quall-

Newspapers Not Profitecrs.

Minneapolis Tribune: The recent
increase in subscription price and
advertising rates of newspapers
has put publishers on the defensive
| against the charge of being prof
| iteers. The facts in the case justify
their defense Their production
cost, the principal elements OF
which are wages and neWsprint
has increased in a greater proper
ton than that of almost every
other industry. A newspaper re-
quires the highest class of skilled
| labor, including not only its heads
of departments, but also its en-
ployes in its editorial, composing
room, pressroom, stereotyping and
other departments. Its payrolls
have recently been increased by %
per cent to 80 per cent, or more.
Without substantial increase in
| income this increase in labor cost
alone would bankrupt most news
papers.
But other increases in cost have
to be met, which are peculiar to
the newspaper at the same time
lllttl NINN al tNNtDllollGillN liNtlNg
The cost of postage has been in
creased to that extent that the
average newspaper is now deliv-
| cred by mail beyond the second
zone at cost, in some instances
of twice the subscription rate re-
ceiYed; and many newspapers have
been compelled to cut off their
country circulation. Most metro
politan newspapers are now dis
couraging any extension of country
circulation as against the previous
in that field.
The greatest burden, however, of
the newspaper, is the result of the
recent unprecedented leap in the
price of newsprint paper. Within
the past seven years the price of
newsprint, under standard annual
contracts, has jumped from $40
per ton, or less, to 500 per ton.
But the increase in demand, has be-
pacity. The allotments which pa
per mills can make to their regu-
lar customers at the standard con-
tract price are increasingly insult
ficient to meet requirements, and
the supply of newsprint in the pa
per market is inadequate to supply
the required excess over contract
quantities and at the same time to
supply that great number of pub
fishers who buy their newsprint in
the transient market. The result
is, that within the past year tran
sient prices for newsprint have
gone to the present figure of $3.50
per ton, or over 500 per cent in
crease on the price of seven years
ago, and 250 per cent over the
standard contract price fixed in
December. 1919, for the year 1920.
The result in newspaper production
cost can be judged by the fact that
a metropolitan daily with, say.
100000 circulation. requires around
10000 tons of newsprint per year,
and that an increase of only $50 a
ton raises its annual production
cost by 100000.
The price of newsprint today is
$500 a ton in England, $3.50 in
Sweden, and $500 in France, and,

THE ASH BLONDE.

There are all sorts of blondes
but the most charming sort of all
say some authorities, is the blonde
cendree, or ash blonde. And there
is just this much about the ash
blonde: You may be sure that She
is authentic, There can be no ar
tifice about her. For there is nc
chemical means of tinting OF
bleaching hair to that rare and al
together delightful tone known to
the French as blonde cendree. II

1t is pale and ashy. Doubtless il
takes more discriminating taste to
appreciate it.
This tpye of person is said to be
indolent and dreamy. He is like
wise said to possess much tender
ness. To show that this theory is
right, the name of Theophile Gau-
tier is given, a French novelist who
combined all three of these charac-
teristies.
With this color hair one usually
flnds pale blue. eyes, or soft gray
eyes sometimes gray or blue eyes
that seem almost black. You may
ind brown eyes with some shades
of golden hair, but almost never
with hair that is blonde cendree.
With this pale blonde hair one
less often finds the vivid rosy com

golden blondes. 1t is. more fre-

PASSING COM MENTS

for transient lots, $3.50 in the
United States. AS pointed out by
r. S. Kellogg, secretary of the
Newsprint Service Bureau, in his
discussion in American Forestry,
shown elsewhere on this page, the
present shortage of paper is not
due to decreased production, but to
increased consumption, and with
little prospect of relief in the near
future.
Increases in subscription and ad-
Vertislng rates are, therefore, corn
pulsory. While such increases in
rates have not generally been any
where near in proportion to the in
creased production cost, it is a mis-
take to assume that the ncwspa-
per's income Is increased to the full
extent of its Increase in subscrip-
ton and advertising rates. A sub
stantial part of the increase, for
instance in subscription rate, has
to be divided with the carrier or
other distributor. An increase in
advertising rates does not mean the
same percentage Of increase in in
come, either upon a normal or alb
normal amount of advertising pub
lished. Every increase in adver-
tising space means more news
print, more postage, more compo-
sition cost-all on an enormously
increased basis. There is hardly a
metropolitan newspaper which is
not. as to many or all of its issues,
rejecting advertisements, even at
the increased advertising rates, in
order to keep its production cost,
especially that of its newsprint,
within the limits of its financial re-
sources.
Increase in newspaper subscrip-
ton and advertising rates is, there
fore, not a profiteering device on
the part of the publishers. 1t is a
necessary means of self-preserva-
ton.

Eggs rs Cents a Dozen and
Chickens so Cents Each,
Other Things In Propor-
ton, Still They Complain.

M. l.. Fox. for many years editor
tof the Morning Journal, now in
Costa Rica,' has written the follow
ing interesting letter regarding
conditions in that country:
San Jose. Costa Rica.
March 20. 1920.
Editor of the Journal:
This place has the most aston
ishing climate l ever have known,
The end of the dry season is almost
here and people Jay this is the
warmest weather of the year. No
summer clothes are worn. Every
one wears coat and west of the
same material we wear at home in
early spring. Only a few straw
hats are seen at night. light over
coat is welcome, though one can do
very we'll without such garment.
You sleep under two blankets.
This town is about twice the size
of Albuquerque. 1t has good houses
and good streets, and there is every
appearance of prosperity. The cap
ital stock of the banks aggregates
about 100000 but deposits are not
large in proportion. Business men
say the cash of the average man
doesn't go into deposits and that
comparatively small proportion of
purchases in stores are settled by
check. Bills are generally paid in
cash and the percentage of cash
business is large.
Living here is cheap, though
there is complaint here as every
where else of the high cost of liv-
ing. Eggs sell for rs cents a dozen
and good beef--it is goods 20
cents a pound. Cheaper cuts sell
for less proportionately. Fat chick
ems are worth about so cents each,
and, beans, one of the great staples
bring about cents pound. The
average laborer is paid from SO
cents to $1.25-Very few at the lat
ter figure. The average is about
rs cents.
There are four or five great in
dustres--if they may be SO term
ed--in this country. First, coffee
the best in the world, is grown
over the area of what is known as
the San Jose-Cartago plateau and
high on the sides of the mountains
which surround this plateau. The
coffee plantation is most profit
able, yielding the average owner
now about 1925 an acre and cost
ing him about $12 aside from the
interest on his investment. This,
of course. is an abnormal profit;
but in average times-low average
the coffee plantation will yield
net from $50 to $50 per acre. 1t
is the business of the wealthy ma
tive people and of German, Eng
lish. Scotch and Jewish residents.
The next business of importance
is the banana. But it is largely in
the hands of small growers and is
in lower attitudes than where cof-
fee is grown. The greatest profit
comes to the banana buyer, the Unit
ed Fruit company having prac-
tically a monopoly in, this respect.
