RATE regret having TO notify, that the
worldwide economic depression also
is reflected upon our island and
makes it imperative that changes in the
economic conditions of the island are
effected if the chief industry, the grow
ing of sugar canes. shall be preserved
for the future.
With the eliminate, n of me high eX-
change on q. S currency and the reduc-
ton in price on food from this and other
causes, we find it bnt reasonable under
the circumstances, that the present
scale of wages brought about by the
exchange situation and the high cost
of living a couple years ago, be adj
justed.
However, in order to enable the will
ing and efficient worker to earn a fair
days wage, we the undersigned sugar
concerns on and from August 22nd, will
rea5opt on our estates the schedule OF
task work embodied in the agreement
of August 18th. 1917, worked out in CO.
operation with the Government, the la
bOrers and the planters, with the excep-
ton, that the days task be based on 90
cents instead of SO cents tor y hours
work. When this schedule is not applied
the days wage shall be 50 cents for y
hours work.

no longer perplexed by the soft, mystic
light rising at intervals into q pro-

church belfry.
Yesterday the phenomenon which
had caused crowds to gather in great
numbers was explained. Dean Smyth.
head of the church, which is one of the
Oldest and largest in the Newark do
cese revealed the cause of the mystery.
Repairs have been going on in the
church. Workmen recently coated the
interior walls and ceiling of the belfry
with fresh coat of paint, the first it
has had for years. From it's smooth,
glossy surface the light from the street
lamps is reflected after dark. The red
glow that mses at intervals mad which
added so strongly to the atmosphere
of mystery is caused by the reflection
cast from the brightly lighted tube
trains as they come out of the tunnel
at Waldo Street, just below the church.
Credit for the discovery goes to a
group of young men of the parish who
explored the tower and traced the light
to its source. Until yesterday the
light had been puzzle also to the
Jersey City police, the Public Service
Company and the church officials. The
tower was visited in the dead of night.
Flour was scattered on the floor to

illusive jokester. But nothing came

Bedtime Stories
Farmer Browns Boy Becomes Curious
By Thornton W. Burgess
Curiosity mag lead
To chance to do q kindly deed.
Farmer Browns Boy.

Farmer Browns Boy stood in the
doorway of his home idly looking out.
Presently he saw Welcome Robin
alight in the dooryard. He ran a few
steps and stopped, looking this way
and that way, as is his way when
looking for food. Then he ran again
and stopped as before.
Farmer Browns Boy smiled. ~
am afraid you won't find anything to
eat over here" said he, just as if
Welcome Robin would understand
him. "The ground is too hard and
dry for earthworms, and / don't
know Of anything else you will eat
over here"
Just then Welcome Robin spied a
little piece of bread that had been
thrown out. He ran over to it, picked
it up, looked hurriedly this way and
that way and flew away with it. He
flew up over the house.
That's funny" muttered Farmer
Browns Boy. 81 didn't think We'll
come Robin would eat bread when he
could find other food. l wonder
what he is going to do with that. He
certainly can't be going to feed his
young with it."
He hastily crossed to the other

the window. He was just in time to
see Welcome Robin fly down to the
foot of certain tree and drop the
piece of bread, then fly up in the tree
and look down as if much interested
IN something. From where he was
Farmer Browns Boy couldn't see
what became of the bread
His curiosity was aroused. "Wel-
come Robin acted as if he left that
bread over there for some particular
purpose" thought Farmer Browns
Boy. 81 think I'll go over and see
what became of it."
So Farmer Browns Boy went out
the door and around the house and
started toward that tree. Half way
there his keen eyes made out some
thing red in the grass He stopped
and watched. The red thing moved
and he saw it clearly. "As | live. that
is Redhead the Woodpecker," thought
Farmer Browns boy, "and he is eat
ing that bread as if half starved I do
believe Welcome Robin took that over
