co ON WITH THE STORY

Like a thing Of bronze, motion
less as death. sat Tarzan. SAILOR
passed beneath. One stride beyond
she took-a second, third. and then
the silent coil shot out above her.
For an instant the spreading
moose hung above her head like a
great snake, and then, as she looked
upward to detect the origin Of the
swishing sound Of the rope, it settled
a5out her neck. With a quick jerk
tarzan snapped the moose tight
about the glossy throat, and then
he drcpped the rope and chung to his
rapport with both hands.
Y SAILOR was trapped.
ANWith a bound the startled beast
.nrned into the jungle, but Tarzan
was not to lose another rope through
the same cause as the first. He had
learned from experience. The lioness
had taken but half her second bound
when she felt the rope tighten about
her neck: her body turned com
pletely over in the air and she fell
with a heavy crash upon her back.
Tarzan had fastened the end OF the
rope securely to the trunk of the
great tree on which he sat.
Thus far his plan had worked to
perfection, but when he grasped the
rope, bracing himself behind a
crotch Of two mighty branches, he
found that dragging the mighty
struggling, cIawing, biting, scream
ing mass of iron-muscled fury up to
the tree and hanging her was a very
different proposition.
The weight OF old SAILOR was i'm.
mense, and when she braced her
huge paws nothing less than Tan
tor, the elephant, himself could
have budged her.
The honess was now back in the
path where she could see the author
Of the indignity which had been
placed upon her. Screaming with
rage she suddenly charged, leapine
high into the air toward Tarzan, but
when her huge body struck the limb
on which Tafzan had been. Tarzan
was no longer there.
Instead he perched lightly upon
smaller branch twenty feet above
the raging captive For a moment
SAILOR hung half across the branch
while Tarzan, Knocked, and hurled
twigs and branches at her unpro
tected face.
Presently the beast dropped to the
earth again and Tarzan came
quickly to seize the rope, but SAILOR
had now found that it was only q
slender cord that held her. and
grasping it her huge jaws severed
it before Tarzan could tighten the
sttangling moose. a second time.
Taxzan was much hurt His well
z laid plan had come to naught. sc
he sat there screaming at the roar
ing creature beneath him and max
ing hooking grimaces at it.
SAILOR paced back and forth be
meath the tree for hours; four times

dancing sprite above her, but as

Those responsible for the admin

PORTO RICO SUGAR
IS FLOWING GOLD
Tobacco, Coffee and Citrus
Fruit Support Islands
Big Population.
BY GIDEON A. LYON.

AS cotton was once king in the
Southern States, so sugar is king in
Porto Rico. For sugar brings the
big money. In the fiscal year 1924.
with the total exports to all countries
valued at SSS,279 900. sugar exports
We're reckoned at SAT ,SS4 900. or 54
per, cent. The exports to the United
States during the same period were
worth. $50, ,754 900. of which sugar
counted for SAT ,S36. 900, or SO per cent.
While dealing with statistics. for
the moment. let us reckon in acreage.
Porto Rico has a total area of 3,435
square miles, or about 2.19S,000 acres
Sugar is grown on more than 200, 900
acres, or nearly one-tenth of the en-
tire superficial area of the island.
Here, then. is a crop that covers
about a tenth of all the land and
yields more than half of the total
values exported No wonder that
Porto Rico watches the. sugar quota
tions closely. For upon the price of
sugar in the New York market,
where the raw material is shipped for
refinement, depends the welfare of
practically the whole island. Upon
the price depends the acreage planted
and cultivated and the quantity of
cane ground, and therefore the num-
ber of field and factory hands EN-
ployed. And, under a newly adopted
system Of wages which. prevails in
the majority of cases, the price of
raw sugar governs in a large degree
the earnings of the thousands of
workers.
Everywhere in Porto Rico, save in
the upper attitudes, fields of sugar
cane stretch broadly, in various stages
of growth. The cutting and grinding
season begins about January l and
lasts nearly six months, so that by
March, the season during which l
visited the island, 1t is in full head
way. Thus the fields are in all stages
of treatment. Some are standing in
full cane, awaiting, the cutters, the
chemists at the mills meanwhile tax
ing samples daily to determine the
proper moment for sending in the
men with their machetes. Some have
just been cut and the OK teams are
hauling out the cane. Others have
been cut and cleared and gangs are
at work preparing them for the new
crop. Again. the new cane has
sprouted and is already on the way
for the next crop.
Here and there rises q brick or
stone chimney from the middle of a
great field. No smoke streams from it.
No activity shows around it. Closer
view shows that the buildings are in
ruins, or are entirely swept away,
leaving only the lonely stack as a
memorial to the past. For this was
once a "centraI'-pronounce with
the accent on the second syllable-or

wage scale has been adopted by most
of the companies, fixing the lowest
rate for field hands and unskilled fac
tory operatives at 81 Il day-which is
generally the basic pay of the laborer
in the island--plus a differential when
the price of sugar rises above a GER
tain point, carefully calculated with a
chance for the workers 10 earn con-
siderably more than the minimum dol
lar.
Company stores are maintained in
some cases, but the present facory law
prohibits the settlement of accounts
by taking debts out of the workers 8
weekly wages.
Piece workers in the cane fields earn
as much as 81 a day The systems of
payment differ with the centrals and
the field conditions.
While the greatest employment oc-
curs during the cane-cutting and
grinding season, large numbers Of
hands are kept at work throughout
the year in the cultivation of the fields.
But in sugar. as in coffee and 10 a
large extent in tobacco the employ
ment is seasonal. Therein lies one of

to the sugar contents of their de-
liveries.
There is no waste in sugar manu-
faCture. All of the dry stalk refuse is
used for fuel. 1t is called "bagasse. !"
| The mud from the defecators, or
cleansing tanks. after being pressed
under high power to squeeze out the
! last possible drops of sugar syrup, is
used for fertilizing the fields. The
molasses, once much sought for the
manufacture of liquors. goes out in
tanks for animal feed, large quantities
being shipped to the States.
Were 1t not for the 'bagasse," or
dried cane stalk refuse, the central
could not be operated profitabIy. For
ii is an almost perfect fuel and it re-
places coal, which must be imported
as Porto Rico has no coal mines.
Evil Works of Agitators.
So the great mills grind on, while
the fields are replanted and cultivated
for the next years crop. and the
workers are kept busy by the tens of
thousands. Now and then an agitator
goes among the sugar workers and
stirs them TO the point of striking for
higher wages. Perhaps they do not
strike, but seek to destroy. Occasion
ally cane field is fired, out OF revenge
for dismissal, or because the manager
will not yield to pressure for better
ments. and sometimes just for wanton
mischief.
These cane fires are not uncommonly
intentional, to make easier the cutting.
But great care must be taken to keep
such fires Nnder control and TO cut
the cane Immediately, else the sucrose
content will diminish.
The incendiary uses two methods--a
candle stuck on board and burning
down to some dry leaves wrapped
around the base which gives the
malefactor a chance to get a long way
off before the fire starts: or the throw
ing of a nitric product over the leaves
just before dawn, to burst into flame
when the suns rays warm the leaves.
Skillful police work is iessening
these crimes. The bolshevist teachings
Of small group of radicals are being
counteracted by intelligent co-opera-
tive works by the corporations that
control the sugar industry. Company

exports of this product during the
fiscal year in both manufactured and
leaf form, were valued at about $1S,-
100000. Porto Rican tobacco is
growing in favor with cigar makers
and indeed considerable quantities or
tobacco of special qualities are i'm
ported as wrappers to permit the
manufacture on the island OF large
numbers of cigars.
The tobacco fields of the island
present a singular appearance, mas
much as practically all of the better
grades of toba arc grown under
cloth. Thus In the middle upland
region, in the center of the island.
with the town of Cayey as the prin-
cipaI nucleus of the industry, there
are hundreds of acres of cheesecloth-
covered lands. The use Of this shell
ter greatly improves the grade of
the leaf and adds to the value.
Tobacco is grown on about 10000
acres Of the Porto Rican soil. The
larger plantations are owned by or
are under the control of corporations.
But many small planters grow to-
bacco, which they crop" together
with other marketable products. Thus
numerous dwellings, with tobacco cur
ing racks underneath, will be seen
along the roadside
usually being thatched on the sides
as well as the roofs with various leaf
materials, such as cane leaves and
palm branches, sometimes the dried
banana leaf.
Tobacco being a weed, its roots do
not give any protection to the soil
against erosion. 1t tends. furthermore
TO deplete the soil II grown too steadi-
ly. There is a considerable sentiment
in the island against its culture. but
