the basis of De Foes wonderful story.
Captain Woodes Rodgers, commander
of the Duke and Duchess, privateer out
of Bristol, saw beacon fire on the island
one night in 1909, and the following morn

where he finished the voyage as mate of
that vessel and returned to England.
Several years later Spanish penal col.
ony was established on Juan Fernandez,
and in 1857 a fort was built on the brow
of the hill overlooking Cumberland Bay.
The prisoners in this colony suffered ter
rible tortures. They lived in cells dug in
the sides Of the clay walls Later visitors
hkened them to the catacombs of Rome.
Nothing now remains of this underground
prison.

overlooking Cumberland Bay. 1t lies in
a volcanic mass of rock about 200 yards
from the shore. The height of the en-
trance is about Is feet and the cave itself
extends about'3O feet into the side of the
rock, varying in width from IS to 10 feet.
Within the mouth the surface is Of reddish
rock with holes dug into the sides that
might have been used for closets by the
original occupant
Spikes and nails In the walls, bits of
rusted cooking utensils, stone oven and
other evidences Of Crusoes occupancy
were told of by early visitors, but souvenir
hunters in their search for relics have
carried away most of them. During the
famous gold fever of 1849 some of the
argonauts who sailed around the Horn vis-
tied Juan Fernandez. To them Is charged
the pilfering of Crusoe's relics.
These prospectors found on the island

About $50 Chileans now live on this
desolate spot. Their livelihood is OBJ
tanned by gathering Holsters and cray fish,
which abound along the shores. Cod, rock
fish, herring and lamprey eels are includ-
ed In their catches. The population live
a few isolated families are scattered over
the island.
Farming is done on a small scale, con-
fined to garden patches and cared for by
the women and children. There are nat
ural peach and fig trees and few herds
of wild goats run free on the mountain
slopes. Wild pigs inhabit the tangled
valleys. There are only four horses on
this island.
The people Of Juan Fernandez are nearly
all blood relatives, descendants of a few
families who settled there years ago and
continued down to the present time. They
have their own small school, get news
papers and magazines from the mainland
occasionally and are fairly well educated.
The island is leased by Senior Ricard, of
Valparaiso, for its lobster fishing privi-
leges. All the male inhabitants Of the
island work for him, selling their catch
through his representative. The most pre-
tentious building in the place, a small
sheet metal and frame structure, is occu-
pied by the POO Bah" A modern wireless
station Is installed there to transmit
weather reports and earthquake warnings
Earthquakes are not infrequent. and a
seismograph is maintained on the island.
The island was discovered in 1853 by
Juan Fernandez, the man who gave 1t his
name, a Spanish navigator and explorer.
According to early sailors 1t was some
times visited by the Indians from the
mainland OF South America, and story
was told Of Musquito Indian who was
marooned on the island for many years
before Selkirk's day.
Alexander Selkirk began his career on
Juan Fernandez in 1904. He did not get

are going to have big increase in cotton acreage over last year, said MT. Eldridge yesterday. And everyone who has studied the situa- ton is agreed that this would be disastrous.
 "All reports that have come to Farm Bureau headquarters indicate that there is going to be a tre- mendous increase in acreage unless something is done to show the cot ton growers the d1sagtrous Y conse- quences of such a step. Our reports indicate that many farms that were allowed to lie idle last year will be planted to cotton this year and many large planters have declared that they are going to plant every foot of ground they own or control to cotton. These reports are so general as to be cause for serious alarm. With big cotton crop next year, we may expect to see the bot tom fall out of the market and ths result would be disastrous to the entire state.
 "The reduced cotton production in 1921 was due more to ravages of the boil weevil and unfavorable weather than to any reduction in acreage for the official figures show that the acreage was reduced only IA per cent from 1920. I would not be surprised to see an even larger acreage planted to cotton this year than was planted in 1920, when 2.9S0,O0O acres in Arkansas were in cotton"
