ST. CROIX STATION.
London, Jan. 18th. Speaking at the
Bristol Branch of the Royal Colonial
Institute today Mr.. Algernon Asphalt
recited the old connections of that city
with the West Indies and said that these
were being still satisfactorily maintained
by Avonmouth, the chief port Of West
Indian steamers. He Anticipated a pros
porous future for the West Indies in
view O the favoured treatment of their
produce by Canada and the United King
dom. Their economic position was
sound and although their production OF
cacao was now dwarfed by that Of the
Gold Coast the superior quality produced
by Trinidad and Grenada should main
tain their supremacy 1t was a matter OF
regret, Mr.. Aspinall continued, that the
banana industry was under American
control, but it must be remembered with
gratitude that the Boston Fruit &c. and
their successors had been great bene'
factors to Jamaica in the past. He dealt
with the shortage of labour in British
Guiana and British Honduras and the
reed for direct steamship and Geographic
communication for British Honduras,
and then referred at length to the lrlnl-
dad oil industry torecastlng rapid pro-
gress in this trade. Continuing Mr..
Aspinall said that sugar was the only
industry deriving material benefit from
the Canada trade agreement, but all
branches of trade would benefit indirect
~. He believed that Imperial prefer
ence was a settled policy OF Great Bri-
tain, but all doubts on this head would be
removed if the example of Canada was
followed and a trade agreement made.
Mr.. Aspinall instanced the improved
financial position of several Of the colo
MES which were now raising their own
loans, particularly emphasizing Trini-
dads success in this direction, Regard,
ing federation, before ;hls could be
prac ical politlcsait should be the gener-
al desire of the West Indies for a politi-
cal union and this had not hitherto been
apparent. Reference was made to the
bad conditions prevailing in regard to
cable and steamship service to the West
lndies with the exception OF Jamaica,
but Mr.. Aspinall said hat it would p
reasonable that there were pros
pec1s OF both defects being remedled.

= ~, ST. CrOiX

If your little boy got a mesoal seed
stuck in his %windpipe, or if a bile knock
ed you down and shattered your leg
bone, how would the Doctors find out
where the trouble was?
They would probably take an X-ray
picture which would let them see the
exact nature of the injury. .
How do the Hospitals of st. Croix hap
pen to have an X-ray machine?
Do you remember how sick people had
to be taken to the hospital a few years
ago, rafting about in a springless cart?
They are taken comfortably and quickly
now in an automobile ambulance.
Where did that ambulance come from?
The Red Cross supplied the Hospitals
of St. Croix with both these necessities,
together with many others too numerous
to mention.
To what source of help would the peo-
pie of St. Croix look, If a disastrous hur-
ricane should visit the island once more?
The American Red Cross holds itself
ready to minister to the victims OF dis
aster everywhere, in t e name 0 human
ity and mercy.
The Red Cross would do this. whether
or not there was angactive chapter here
in the island. But does it not deserve
the support and encouragement Of every
citizen in St. Croix.
The Red Cross will be more interested
to do things for St. Croix, If St. Crolx
shows it's interest in the Red Cross by a
large membership in the Roll Call.

The reason everything's been so

until today. Now Tinkham Veale,
county attorney, is sending out letters
to all Topeka dealers in tobacco warn
ing them that to sell any more Tags
will be to render themselves liable to
prosecution. And the reason Tinkham
is doing this is because four officers
of the Kansas Anti-Cigaret league
called upon him this morning in his
office and asked for the prosecution
of forty-nine local dealers.

NOT TO NORMALLY
No One Wants to Go Back. De-
clares Cash Register Chief.
Must Look Forward and En-

WORST is NOW PASSED
Merchants of Country Have Re-
gained Optimism.
Everyone Must Quit Yearning
for Conditions OF Past.

Dayton, O., May 4-A''We must go
forward" ]. H. Barringer, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the Ma
: tional Cash Register company, de-
clared today in attacking the back to
normally policy as a remedy for
American business conditions.
mo one wants to go back to normal
conditions as we knew them" Bar
ringer declared in an interview today.
This means conditions as they eX-
listed in 1913 and 1914. We must go
forward and it would be a contradic-
ton for us to go backward to nor
malcy.
Must Enlarge Plans.
ITO my mind what American in
dustries must do is to change their
mental attitude and instead of going
backward to normally, plan to go
ahead on a bigger scale than ever
before. America practically controls
the destiny of the world today. With
out our money and without the credit
we are in a position to extend, and
without the guidance of progressive
American policies. the whole world
will continue in a state of chaos.
practically all business men in the coun-
try knew that conditions could not con-
tinue as they were in the early months of
1926 We saw a change coming in our
business and prepared TO meet it as far
back as June 1920. Every indication points
TO the factcthat the worst is over and from
now on business will continue to improve
Merchants Optimistic.
''IDdicatons in the cash register business
are that merchants all over the United
States and Canada are regaining their con-
fidence and beginning to view the future
enthusiastically. Cash register sales are
often considered a barometer of business
conditions and sales in our line for the
month of April were greater than at any
time since November, 1920. and we believe
they will continue to improve.
THE papers have been filled lately with
news of declining prices When prices
start to come down, business will go back
to competitive basis which is always
healthy condition.
Quit Looking Back.
"Now speculation is curbed, easy profits
are being eliminated and business houses
must go to work When people go to
work in earnest, they produce and pro-
duction always makes for good times.

Of any country are an abundance of crude
