Although the hotel fund committee has not been
making much noise lately, it has been working
steadily, and reports considerable progress.
The people of Albuquerque should preserve an
open mind regarding any proposition suggested

allow prejudice or certain preconceived notions of
how WE would handle the thing if we had it in
charge TO influence our judgment.
This is time for pet theories. We must con-

PORTO RICO'S TRADE.

Commerce between the United States and Porto
Rico is greater than the trade the United States
with the whole of Central America or with any
South American country excepting only Argentina
and Brazil, it is pointed out by the National Bank
of Commerce in New York in the February num-
Der Of its magazine, Commerce Monthly. In the
fiscal year 1920 the United States took IS per cent
of the total value of goods exported from the island
and supplied "a per cent of the imports
owing largely to the high prices received for
sugar the value Of the exports from Porto Rico in
1920 much greater than for any previous
year." says Commerce Monthly. Total exports
Were valued at $l50S11,449 compared with $79,-
496,04O in 1919, increase of over $71,000000,
OF which nearly $51, 600 900 was accounted for by
the increase in the value of sugar exports. In
both years all but an insignificant amount of the
sugar exported went TO the United States The
total value of exports to thesUnited States in 1920
was S133,207,508, increase of $G2192l57 over
the previous year.
THE value of imports into Porto Rico was
likewise much higher in 1920 than ever before,
amounting to $9G,388,534, an increase of $685.
TIA over 1919. The principal increase was in cot
ton goods, which We're valued at $18021275 in
1920 against $7,122932 in 1919 The next largest
gain in leather goods which were valued at
$3,91S,335 increase of $2137,941. Rice valued
at $14,1946SS and coming entirely from the United
States, showed an increase of $2O7S,O23 over the
previous year in value. but decrease in quantity

pie have declared for a republic
Did the United States in her strug-

Abram j. Ryan's poem:
ERIN'S FLAG.
Unroll Erins flag! Fling its folds
to the breeze!
Let it float DER the land, let flash
DER the seas!
Lift it out of the dust-let it wave
as of yOre,
When its chiefs with their clans
stood around it and swore
That never! no, neVerl while God
gave them life,
And they had an arm and a sword
for the strife,
That never! no. never! that banner
should yield
AS long as the heart of Celt was
its shield.
While the hand of a Get had a
weapon to WELD
And his last drop of blood was I'M
shed on the field.
Lift it up! wave it high! it's as
bright as Of old,
Not a stain on its green, not a blot
on its gold,
Tho the woes and the wrongs Of
seven hundred long years
Have drenched Erin's sun burst
with blood and with tears!
Though the clouds of oppression
enshroud it in gloom,
And around it the thunders of
tyranny boom.
Look aloft! look aloft to the
clouds drifting by
There's a CLEAN thro' the gloom,
there's light in the sky.
'Tis the sun burst respondent far,
flashing on hight
Erin's dark night is passing, her
day dawn is night
Lift it up! Lift it up! the old ban
ner of green;
The blood of it's sons has but
frightened its sheen,
What though the tyrant has tram
pied it down,
Are its folds not emblazoned with
deeds of renown?
What though for ages it droops in
the dust,
Shall it droop thus forever? No,
No! God is just
Take it up! Take it up! from the
tyrant's foul tread,
Let him tear the green flag-we
will snatch its last shred,
And beneath it We'll bleed as our
forefathers bled,
And we'll VOW by the dust in the
graves of our dead,
And We'll swear by the blood which
the Briton has shed,
And Wen vow by the wrecks which
through Erin he spread,
And Wen swear by the thousands,
who, famished, unfed,
Died down in the bitches, wild
bowling for bread;
And Wen vow by our heroes whose
spirits have fled,
And will swear, by the bones in
each coffinless bed,
That we'll battle the Briton
through danger and dread,
That We'll cling to the cause which
we glory to wed,
Til the CLEAN of our steel and the
shock of our lead.
Shall prove to the foe that we
v meant what we said
That We'll lift up the green, and
We'll tear down the red!
This voices the spirit and the
cause of Ireland.
Yours for justice,
A SUBSCRIBER.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Bearish finan-
cial conditions did much today to
depress wheat. May touched the
lowest price this season. The fin
ish was heavy at SIC to sc net
decline. with March $l.52 to
$1.52A and May $1.43 to $1.43A.
Corn lost &c to Ac and oats " G
to &c Provisions finished from
2 zee decline to 10c advance.
Although at the outset, ban
which had been put on the use of
Argentine quotations here tended
to give some advantage to the
wheat bulls, 1t soon became appar-
ent that buying power had nearly
deserted the pit Tight money
rates went hand in hand with SELL
ing by eastern interests. Notice of
a bankruptcy in the New York flour
trade had a further depressing in
fluence. The break in prices
brought about some export bust
ness, and there was little recov-
cry at the last on profit taking by
shorts.
Both corn and oats touched about
the lowest prices yet for the crop.
Despite falling off in the volume
of corn receipts. arrivals continued
in excess of immediate require
mentS
Higher quotations on hogs gave
firmness to provisions.
Closing prices
Wheat - March, $1.52; May,
$1.43.
Corn-May, 64%c; July, 66%c.
Oats-May, 41Bc; July. 42c.

can you make pretend curls for us
with that?"
"pll show you," said the bum
ny. Alice, you and Lulu and

and yellow ones.'

the other.
II don't know" said Susie. "But
we'd better do just as Uncle Wig
gily says"
So when the bunny had some
red and yellow apples and the cab
bage cutter he ran a yellow apple
along the sharp knife in the cab
bage machine. And, all of sud
den, the apple skin came off in
one long, curly peeling.
"Oh, that's Just the most lovely
curl!" quacked Lulu.
And here's another" said I'm
Gle Wiggily, as he ran red
apple along the cabbage cutter
knife. I'll make you apple curls
instead of some from carpenter
shaVings."
Soon each of the four animal
girls had long dinghy dangly apple
curls down their back, and away
they hurried to Name Wagtails
party, thanking Uncle Wiggily very
much, They had a lovely time. And
